I used to be a hardcore Kakashi fan back in part 1 but in Shippuden he is shown very weak.
1. He got captured by Zabuza in that Water Bubble
2. Gets bedridden for a week after using a normal Sharingan against Zabuza.
3. Taught Sasuke Chidori, which he is misusing now
4. Gets frightened when he is about to fight Orochimaru (when he sealed sasuke's curse seal)
5. He could have helped bring Sasuke back only if he used brains: when sasuke was leaving konoha, after Naruto vs. Sasuke, Kakashi comes to take back Sasuke but finds fainted Naruto. He could have made a Shadow Clone to send Naruto back to village and himself could have gone further for sasuke.
6. Again gets bedridden for a week after using MS twice or thrice.
7. Had hard time against Kakuzu
8.Gets 'killed' against Pain
What are your opinions?
1. He was being careless, as he said he hadn't fought someone of that level for a long time...
2. He trained so he can use a normal sharingan for a lot longer, so he got back up from that.
3. He was sasukes teacher, at that time he had no reason to suspect Sasuke would go crazy and leave.
4. Kakashi wasn't as strong in the beginning, and Orochimaru was being made out to be extremely powerful, with the 3rd hokage saying even he might be unable to kill him.
5. The rain had made following sasukes scent impossible, even his dog summon couldnt smell him
6. If he didnt, Kakashi would be overpowered to be honest. But yeah kakashi you sure fail for having some lethal technique that tires you out after a few uses, so noob!
7. Kakuzu survived a fight with the 1st Hokage, so he wasnt exactly a push over? Most shinobi would of struggled or died, and he still had the MS to use if he needed. But he didn't want to be bed ridden after its use.
8. Killed by Akatsukis leader, a wielder of the strongest eyes, who defeated Jiraiya, considered its strongest member. Theres no shame in losing to Pein, whos powers he helped figure out to aid naruto later on, he destroyed one of the bodies (which was revived), and he saved Chojis life in sacrificing his own.
I believe that covers it all
