Power isnt everything you know. Your forgetting how clever Itachi is he could think of numerous ways off beating pain.

In terms of being smart, analytical and intelligent in general, Kakashi is Itachi's level at least.

Intelligence is vital, but there are check mates in which you cannot do any move to win unless you are powerful enough.

Yeah intelligence is a factor but Nagato didn't get where he was on strength alone. The pairings of Akatsuki members desginated for handling Jinchuuriki without much of a fuss proves it.

I disagree kakashi is not on Itachis level. Itachi can determine an outcome of a battle right at the start and he knows precisely what move he is going to do next just like shikamaru but not as complex.

Of course. I'm just telling kam intelligence alone is not enough to defeat every opponent, even by the likes of Itachi.

Well, Kakashi is as smart as Shikamaru, too.


Sorry ;)

Yh but didn't shikamaru alone used his intelligence to beat Hidan? And Itachi is so clever he can predict the future accurately for example that crow he put in Naruto that actually helped Naruto when the time came.

You're REALLY wrong now!
The crow was meant to put a genjutsu on Sasuke when Naruto would clash with Eternal MS Sasuke.
It was plain luck that Itachi met Naruto before that happened.
Heck, Itachi himself stated that he would never expect something like this happening.

As for Shikamaru, yep, he beat Hidan. Still, Hidan was probably the dumbest member of Akatsuki and not powerful either. If he wasn't immortal, he would be strong chuunin level at maximum.

That he did. Which was the best course of action for him since Hidan heavily outweighed him in strength.

True. But now we're going really offtopic. Not speaking about Kakashi anymore, we are considering the battle of Shikamaru VS Hidan, haha xd

Kakashi is one of those chars that are hardly overated/underrated.

He is basically the cut-off for kage-level.

And that's the opinion most people share, which is a huge underrating.

Apart from Kages and Sannins, Kakashi is probably the most renowned modern ninja in the Shinobi World. He was appointed the general of several thousand chuunins and jonins. He is considered the greates genius of his generation.

And people actually state he is just middle class. Despite his Sharingan being on similar level to Itachi's, despite the fact he is able to cut lightnings. That's a really strange phenomenon.

His Sharingan is nowhere near Itachi's and if he's so powerful then he would have made a better match against Kakazu instead of landing one hit and getting his a** handed to him for the rest of the fight.

Deidara thinks otherwise about his Sharingan.
And are you serious about Kakuzu?

Kakashi was fighting evenly with Kakuzu despite having to protect team 10 and being attacked by another Akatsuki member at the same time. Still, he would just kamui Kakuzu and win against him should Naruto not arrive.
Thus, it can be noticed really easily that Kakashi can still beat Kakuzu despite protecting others and being attacked by another opponent.
If Team 10 wasn't there, the fight would be easier for Kakashi.
In addition if Hidan wasn't there, Kakuzu would be literally pulverized.

Uh huh. Kakazu's skill level as well as Chakra capacity go beyond Kakashi's for obvious reasons.

he is a very skilled jonin but not just yet at kage level

This is what we are talking about when we mean underrated.

The fact that Tsunade and Jiraiya recommend him as an OBVIOUS choice for Hokage over people like Gai means nothing to some.

If you didn't notice either, his chakra is actually steadily improving.

Him, Gai, and Sai are some of the few who survived the battle with the seven swordsmen which included Chidori and Sharingan use along with who knows what else.

Now he is holding his own against a few tailed beasts, I feel as though there are many inconsistencies with Kakashi's strength but he is definitely Kage level. The fact that Deidara said he uses the Sharingan at around Itachi's level (albeit less techniques) stands for itself.

At the very least, Kakashi could take on Deidara. Deidara was also fairly confident that he could take on Oonoki (having possibly wanted to settle the score with his old teacher for some while), and Deidara himself said that Kakashi was strong. That doesn't put Kakashi above Oonoki of course because I don't think that Kakashi is, but Kakashi more or less was stronger than Sasuke at the time as he had the same abilities (for the most part) along with Kamui.
