Kakashi was not the one who killed Rin, but the tale is more complicated than it appears. Rin asked Kakashi to kill her to save Konoha, her village, according to the Naruto fandom.

Rin decided she didn’t want a three-tailed beast to take control of her and destroy her household after she was implanted with one. She wasn’t able to commit suicide, and Kakashi didn’t want to either. Rin eventually made the ultimate sacrifice.

Rin impaled herself on Kakashi’s Chidori (his concentrated lightning chakra) during the Third Shinobi World War because Kakashi didn’t want to kill her. Rin hid in the mist so Kakashi wouldn’t notice until it was too late.
She died right there in front of Kakashi, who passed out shortly after and suffered PTSD as a result. Kakashi battled for years with her death, which haunted him even as an adult, according to the fanbase.
