So, recently, I've really been thinking about this a lot, and I've searched all over the place, but just can't seem to find a completely clear answer to my question. I was just wondering, could a person using the Sharingan copy a jutsu that uses a certain chakra nature, if the user of the Sharingan doesn't have that chakra nature?

For example, lets just say that Naruto were to learn some basic Wind-Style Jutsu. As we all know for a fact, Kakashi does NOT Have wind chakra nature. If Naruto were to use a basic wind-style jutsu(ex. not Rasen-Shuriken), would Kakashi be able to copy said jutsu?

Part of the description of the Sharingan's ability says " In order to reproduce a copied technique, however, one must have the necessary skill or ability to perform them."
Would chakra nature, fall under the category of "necessary ability"? I asked one person, and they said the Sharingan can copy jutsu of a nature the user doesn't have. However, the person I asked, was someone who believes all Uchiha's are gods, and his only evidence to back up his statement was "it works that way because it does."
So.. Could it copy jutsu of other chakra natures? It seems like it should be something that's obvious to me, but, it's just not. An answer to this question would be greatly appriciated.

Sharingan can't copy a Chakra Nature.

This is shown with Kakashi, he has been shown with the ability to use, Raiton (Lightning Release), Doton (Earth Release), Suiton (Water Release), and in the anime Katon (Fire Release), but he cannot use Fuuton (Wind Release) as he can't produce the chakra needed to use it.

You need the Chakra type to copy it. You could copy it, but your body doesn't have that chakra element, so you can't use it.

I saw in Naruto's wind style training that a skilled jonin has two chakra natures, so is Kakashi just a god; seeing as how he has four?

Kakshi did not gain these chakra natures through his sharingan because no other sharingan user has chakra natures like Kakashi, not even Obito who shares the eye with him. Sasuke has Lightning and Fire, Itachi has Fire and Water and Obito has Earth Fire and Water.

Kakashi has every chakra nature except for wind. Rasengan isn't wind, it's chakra manipulation. Fuuton Rasengan, that Naruto learned is adding Wind chakra into the Rasengan.

Ninja has one or two natural affinities that can be learned and accessed, and have the capacity to access all 4 natural affinities which takes years of training. Therefore, to make it short, yes, the Uchiha, with their Sharingan, can copy any Jutsu that uses a certain natural affinity. However, unable to copy Kekkei Genkai (such as Wood Creation, Hyouton, Youton, etc), Clan Techniques (such as Nara Shadow's, Yamanaki's Mind Transfer Jutsu, Choji Body Expansion Jutsu, etc) and high chakra manipulation based Jutsu such as Wind Style: Rasen Shuriken.

Affinity: Fire (Katon), Wind (Fuuton), Earth (Doton), Lightening (Raiton), Water (Suiton)

Kakashi actually has only 3
lightning, water and earth
(fire is anime only)

kakashi is just a really versatile ninja\

someone like obito - water, fire, earth (and wood)
he has fire cuz he is an uchiha
not too sure, but i think he has water and earth because of wood release but he could have learnt at least one without wood

Come to think of it, it's never made much sense to me... I really don't believe that a Sharingan user is able to copy a jutsu of a specific chakra nature, if they them self do not have the nature. But, if that is indeed the case, then that would mean that Kakashi has a total of 4 chakra natures(If you count fire in the Anime. Even if you don't, 3 is still more than most Ninja).
I somewhat think that when the description of the Sharingan's abilities says " In order to reproduce a copied technique, however, one must have the necessary skill or ability to perform them.", one of those abilities must be the certain chakra nature. Of course, that's not the ONLY ability needed, as one still needs the chakra, and training, etc. Though, I still believe the proper chakra nature is a must. Otherwise, it'd be possible for an Uchiha to use a jutsu of ANY Chakra nature. Excluding things like Kekkei Genkai, of course.

I've seen in the anime Kakashi using all the else mementos except wind. However a lot of times it was filler. Like Kakashi vs naruto and Sakura. He used a fire jutsu when in the manga the whole battle was never depicted. I'm not sure what was all shown in the manga, but I'll bet he can't actually use all these elements. Unless someone can provide manga panels of him using each of these elements.

Also it wouldn't make sense if Sharingan can allow the user to copy n master every element while the Rinnegan is so hyped up because it can allow the user to master all elements. Sharingans don't have this ability.

you should count those natural affinities again. there are in fact five just as you listed.

I don't think an Uchiha could learn a jutsu of each nature because of the rinnegan allowing you to master all nature types. I do think an uchiha could learn a jutsu from 4 of the 5 natures if he was gifted and trained for years in the natures
