I would rank Part 1 Kakashi a low S-rank ninja.

Kakashi's Ninjutsu was easily S-rank level. He was able to perform Lightning, Water, and Earth techniques. That's three elements, most Akatsuki/ninja in general don't even have that. He was also able to perform the S-rank technique Lightning Blade.

His Taijutsu was also at a high level, being a 4/5 which is the average among the Akatsuki. With his 3 tomoe Sharingan, it helped him in CQC significantly more.

His Genjutsu was also very good thanks to his Sharingan. With his Sharingan, he can also counter Genjutsu used on him.

Kakashi, unlike most ninjas, had strong Tai, Nin, and Gen jutsu. Usually ninja, even S-rank ninja just have strong Tai and Nin jutsu. Not only that but he possessed the Sharingan, which enhances his abilities greatly and is very rare.

Kakashi's intelligence was definitely S-rank level, being one of the best strategist shown so far in the series.

His strength is average among the Akatsuki, matching Sasori, Deidara, Itachi, and Orochimaru.

His speed was average among Akatsuki.

His chakra was 3/5 according to the data book so pretty decent, but low in comparison to S-rank ninja. This is basically Kakashi's only weakness.

His hand seals were definitely S-rank as well, being a 5/5 according to the data book. That's the highest among the Akatsuki and the Sannin.

His hype also backs up his skill. Being called Copy Ninja Kakashi and Kakashi of the Sharingan, he was said to have copied over 1000 jutsu, that's insane. He went through the ranks as a kid very fast, being a jounin around Part 1 Naruto's age. He was also an Anbu for a long time, and one of the best of Konoha.

To me, I think it's clear Kakashi was S-rank., In my "What would you rank Zabuza?" thread, the highest vote was low S-rank and Kakashi was said to be around Zabuza's level so I think Kakashi's low S-rank right up there with Zabuza.

Thoughts?

you cant compare anyone from part 1 with anyone from part 2. IMO, its like two completely different mangas. part 2 is more serious and OP.

Yes you can, Part 1 Kakashi is up there with Darui and Kitsuchi, generals of the divisions

Yeah, 5/5 is the highest among the Akatsuki, matching Itachi. I was saying his score of 5/5 was the highest

The OP an idiot.Part one Kakashi was high jonin at best.Kakashi was fodderized by Zabuza and , need Sasuke and Naruto to save him.That not an S rank shinobi.As for the akatsuki, almost every single member had at least two chakra nature and everyone of them are more skilled than kakashi or had some op ability that made them too much for kakashi to deal with alone.Kakazu, Diedara, Nagato, Itachi,Obito, kisame, are the obvious members that would solo kakashi low to mid difficulty.Hidan mid to high difficulty.To put it simply, if kakashi was an akatsuki member he would be at one of the weakest alone with Zetsu

High jounin because....he was a high jounin.

His run-ins with Zabuza were basically luck of the draw considering Zabuza -1 Kakashi-1

That said, he's still one of the Leaf's strongest, I like to think Kamui isn't the only thing that makes him special. He's on the same level as Part 1 Kabuto, Zabuza and Darui.

To be honest he's basically always been S-Class... Wasn't Zabuza an S-Rank from the hidden mist anyways.

Also he's already in his Jounin stage. It isn't like he he grew 10 times stronger in two years...honestly his only change was that he awakened Kamui.

I'd say he was a high jounin at the time.

Elite Jounin = Very Low 'S' rank.
Basically he is slightly weaker then Hidan.

He's still better than Part 2 Tsunade so that makes him Kage level.

High jounin. If he had more chakra, he would have been low S-class.

High Jonin, mainly due to his garbage chakra reserves. The guy was out of chakra after two Suitons and 5 minutes of Sharingan usage against Zabuza. In his rematch, using one Raikiri and one summoning jutsu had him worried about his chakra reserves when fighting an army of nameless thugs.

The Akatsuki members are mid-high kage....of course they would beat Kakashi. I said Kakashi is a low S-rank...

Yeah you're right he was fodderized by Zabuza haha. Zabuza is such a good guy

Elite Jounin = Very Low 'S' rank.

I agree with this, he is barely S-rank

Did you just say that part 1 Kabuto is as strong as part 1 Kakashi. Log off and die slow:devil:

I think this wad said in the manga actually. Some time around when Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Naruto fought Oro and Kabuto. I'm on my phone so I can't check ^_^

Wow I'm surprised about the poll results. How could so many think he was mid Jounin? He was at least high Jounin, but I mean come on he had 3 natures and Sharingan, he is definitely Low S-rank. He was a Jounin at age of 13..he was 26 part 1, his skills had to increase greatly

Fodderized by Zabuza? When exactly?
He got caught in water prison and it was bad for Team 7, but if Zabuza wanted to finish him off he'd have to release him.

And apart from getting caught he pulverized Zabuza both in first and in second fight. Learn the meaning of the word "fodderized".

Not to mention Zabuza was not weak. He was powerful enough to try to overthrow Mizukage and even though he failed he made it out alive. Not to mention his assassination skills - Zabuza has the potential to 1-hit-KO anyone who's not a sensor and doesn't have Sharingan.

At the bolded part - are you retarded?
Part 1 Kakashi was equal to non-MS Itachi, with the latter being forced to use MS unless he wanted the fight to carry on for ages.

I agree with OP, Part 1 Kakashi was low-S level.

I think this wad said in the manga actually. Some time around when Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Naruto fought Oro and Kabuto. I'm on my phone so I can't check ^_^

That was what Jirayia said. When Kakashi and Kabuto faced off, Kakashi fodderized Kabuto and made him run for his money without even using Sharingan.
