Kakashi is a sensor

[ATD]

Of course his sensing ability is not much compared ro tobirama, minato, hashirama and a few more but there are a lot of situations where he was able to recognize the chakra of somebody or something.

That can't be just a normal ability

 

[FemmeFatale]

It could be Obito's sharrigan,

 

[BlacLord™]

He's not a sensor, but he does have very acute senses.

Large/powerful chakras can be felt by most shinobi.

 

[ATD]

It could be Obito's sharrigan,

don't get it, could you explain please ?

 

[avenged sevenfold]

Its quite common for ninja even those who aren't sensor's to recognize different chakra signatures plus as @FemmeFatale said it could be due to his sharingan

 

[ministerC4]

I thought we all accepted this half way through the manga since part1 just saying .-.

 

[dark legion]

Because he is a ninja.
That is what ninja do

And just as someone else just posted depending on the nature and power of the chakra in question one does not need to be a sensor to pick up on it.

Sasuke vs naruto in part
neji noticing it during his fight with naruto in the chuunin exams and oro explicitly stating just that when walking with sasuke to the naka shrine

 

[ATD]

yea i think this is it, you are right his senses are sharper than of ordinary shinobi, but he can't sense chakra like minato and tobirama ...
he only can feel its presence
but what was that
