Is Kakashi the weakest Hokage ever?

[Avani 👑]

The novel actually does apparently have him stating he can no longer use the technique due to the loss of the sharingan:

Again, the novel writer seems to have done little to no research on the use of raikiri throughout the manga, or read what Minato's warning to Kakashi actually was about using the technique.

Obviously, he won't lose his affinity over that. But it does bring in to question what variants this novel writer will allow Kakashi to use.

Raikiri is one tech. |Well, he is still quite versatile. That's something we will know only when it comes.

Edited since I hadn't seen the last line before.

Damn.

If the novelization is to believed, than Kakashi has been knocked down several pegs. I mean he still has lightning beast, lightning clone, but his signature jutsu is out of his reach.

Oh well, time to move on to rasengan!

 

[EliteKakashi]

Raikiri is one tech- an enhanced and concentrated form of chidori. Kakshi made it in an attempt to add his element lightening to the rasengan. Minato pointed out it's draw back - the tunnel vision which could be overcome using sharingan.

Not being able to use raikri or chidori doesn't mean not being able to lightening at all. It doesn''t stop him from using mini rasengan either. It simply means he cannot mix his element with rasengan.

Yes, he still has his raiton affinity.

My issue here is not that I think this restricts him using raiton, my issue here is that the person writing this novel didn't actually do his(I think it's a he, anyway) research on Kakashi or the technique.

Minato's warning about the technique was in regards to Kakashi's speed when using the technique, he was going too fast to react to anything his opponent might counter with:

Kakashi has shown in the manga ways around this problem, as well as shown alternate uses for raikiri as well:

Using Tsugia to pin the opponent/eliminate the risk of a counter:

Using it as assassination technique/taking the enemy by surprise:

Among other things.

I'm simply disappointed in the early news/reading of the novel. Hopefully the rest of it is better than it's beginning, but a flaw like this at the start doesn't bode well for it, nor does it do well in educating fans of the uses of raikiri.

the weakest yes yet he´s got the best feat out of all 6 hokages which is sealing kaguya and ending war

That was a combination of Kakashi, Obito, Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura and Hagoromo.

 

[BLAZE]

Though one thousand years of death still negs ur favo

 

[Char Aznable]

I suppose it's a good thing Kakashi still has Naruto on his personal team. If any battles were to come up, then Naruto could neg any opponent.

 

[legarcon]

That was a combination of Kakashi, Obito, Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura and Hagoromo.

but he´s still part of the legendary team of 6 who seal the goddess kaguya, and he was the one who formulated the strategy that got kaguya seal, so that's still a feat none other kage or hokage has but naruto as the 7th

Lol, he's probably upset that Kakashi isn't the one that got owned by a giant fingernail and decided to die and leave his son parentless to live out his childhood years alone and ostracized by society.

Or that he didn't fail to really kill the biggest threat to the Narutoverse, like a certain lenient Senju.

Or that he isn't a racist that indirectly caused most of the catastrophic events in Naruto.

Or that he didn't barely manage to ward off an attack by Orochimaru, only succeeding in sealing his hands (which was soon not an issue).

Or that he couldn't prevent Konoha's one-shotting by Shinra Tensei and all the deaths of the villagers.

And the "best" Hokage award goes to... *drum rolls*... nah, i'm just kidding, Tsunade still did the least.

I was about to go in Kakashi fangirl mode but the prejudice and hate in this post just killed the mood.


Kakashi is the only hokage who already once died by the hand of the shinra tensie guy and is only alive because Naruto brought him back.

kakashi is the only hokage whose friend died - twice -saving him from an enemy.

Who neglected to train Sakura properly.

Who still couldn't save Saskue from Oro.

Who was sweating while facing Oro.

At whom Oro just laughed when he attempted to make a stand to fight...

He also have other unique achievements:

He was the guy from whom Tobi found out that Kushina was going to give birth- a secret from the rest of the village but announced to the one guy who shouldn't have known.

He was the guy whose action lead to kyuubi being released and fourth hokage having to die and seal the kyuubi in his infant.

See arguments like this go no where. Keep it on topic instead of trying to provoke others.

Team 7 only won that fight due to PIS and CIS.

Seems like the one upset here is you picking at 1 fail from each of the other Hokage while failing to recognize the list of failures of the one you're advocating for.

I'll try not to mention Kakashi having the help of Sasuke, Naruto, Obito, Sakura, and Hagoromo next time. Kakashi sealed Kaguya all by himself...better?

 

[super yang]

kakashi was never hokage

 

[shelke]

He is stronger than tsunade, far too many ways for him to trick her and end her


Did these two runts get banned for spewing bullshit in this thread? :leaf:

Coming from you, that's too rich. He loses sharingan and the ability to use Raikiri, and he's still such an Elitist. Kakashi fans have a lot of unfounded wet dreams.

Kakashi lost raikiri = Powerdown = Self-doubt = self-realization = there are more things in life other than raikiri = his strengthened resolve of being hokage

 

[shelke]

The weakest Hokage, no doubt.

Thanks.

Lol @ those theories.

Actually, Kakashi still beats Tsunade. He paralyses her with raiden, and then drills a raikiri kunai through her skull and decapitatespecially her.... but on 2nd thoughts that sounds stupid. Lol

 

[DHOH]

Kakashi isn't just the weakest hokage, he's probably not top ten in his own village.
Tsunade
Sakura
Lee
Choji
Shikamaru
Sai
Yamato
Shino
Naruto
Sasuke

In terms of power you should consider primes.

However since you want to skew it in a way that makes Tsunade looks good, listen to this, even without Sharingan, Kakashi would beat Tsunade. Tsunade is so moody and Kakshi is a genius. Tsunade is mentally fodder

What's the point of looking at primes here?

-Kakashi's "prime" lasted for a minute, in another dimension
-No Sharingan Kakashi was Hokage, not DMS Kakashi, so when ranking Hokage, why rank DMS?
