I believe one of the main areas where Kakashi is underrated is in his genjutsu capabilities. For that reason i decided to make this thread to explain why he is on the contrary a great genjutsu user

Reputation

His Sharingan Genjutsu is so strong/dangerous that even elite shinobis developed strategies to fight him while avoiding eye contact with him in a similar manner like fighting against Itachi

And we talk about elites like Gai who already showed before having no problems to identify and counter Kabuto's powerful(A-rank) temple of nirvana genjutsu [ ] [ ]

Another S-Rank nukenin(Zabuza) part of the strongest generation of 7swordsmen [ ] prefered avoiding eye contact with him after getting owned by it the first time

Genjutsu analysis

1- Part1 Anbus have been shown countering Kabuto's A-Rank temple of nirvana genjutsu with little trouble [ ] [ ] [ ], yet Kakashi managed to drop off to sleep 2 from Danzo's root unit in a single glance [ ]. As a comparison, notice Itachi's sleeping genjutsu order failed against beginner in Kai release Naruto [ ] [ ], and we talk about the never good -in anything concerning genjutsu- Naruto [ ] [ ]

2- He is capable to battle Obito(perfect Jinchuriki genjutsu controller [ ]) in a reality genjutsu [ ][ ] in a similar manner like Itachi and Sasuke did in their final battle [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]

3- He was capable to control Zabuza in battle without him noticing, giving him suggestive thoughts in the seal he should perform

4- Only Sharingan user so far who showed the capacity to put 2 people in a sharingan genjutsu at once [ ]

5- He is also the only Sharingan user outside Itachi who showed genjutsu skills without Sharingan. And his genjutsu was great enough for even someone like Sakura(who is a genjutsu type [ ] and considered to be the best among the team to analyse genjutsus[ ]) not only failed to recognised but incapacitated her [ ]

This was a rapid analysis concerning Kakashi's genjutsu capabilities. Hope you enjoyed reading U_U

Good read, but ever since Kakashi got Kamui, nothing else matters.

My thoughts exactly U_U

Haha it's because they are fighting a god, so obviously they should use their most powerful techniques
All you need to say is that he stalemated with Obito.
One could say that, but there would be no need for a thread in this case. Here it's more detailed U_U

He clashed with Obito and managed to equal him. This alone makes him a top tier

Zabuza is High A-Rank like Asuma not S-Rank

I'm not sure stalemating Obito counts because they both had same eyes. Although he is good. But then again, how many characters have actually used gejutsu to date? Exactly.

2- He is capable to battle Obito(perfect Jinchuriki genjutsu controller

Actually, Obito used Genjutsu: Sharingan, the standard variation and the weakest Illusion of the Sharingan.
Therefore, it's pointless to argue with the effects of another Genjutsu, which way of functioning is different and its strength on another niveau.

By feats, Kakashi is the weakest user of Genjutsu with Uchihas occular powers, because he can't use Jutsu like Magen Kasegui no Jutsu or Iatsu: Sharingan. Even someone like C, who is able to break Genjutsu due to his great control of chakra and is a master of Genjutsu too, admitted the remarkable strength of those Dōjutsu.
Kakashi even said, he isn't a "true master" of the Sharingan, but he has after all a unique technique like Kamui that can compensate for it.

Edit: Kakashi received the mark 4 of 5 in Genjutsu-according to the Databook. The same as the early Hebi Sasuke, but even Sasuke could use Genjutsu on someone with a higher score than himself at that time.
Compared to someone without knowledge about Genjutsu and great chakra control, Kakashis Genjutsu is simply overkill, but the same goes actually for Tayuya and Orochimaru too.

Remove the last point and you have a respectable analysis

All you need to say is that he stalemated with Obito.

That doesn't count, their eyes are the same making the genjutsu cancel each other out. It's practically cannon now that their eyes are connected. Obito can kill with genjutsu, control a perfect Jin for years and can put people in genjutsu for a longer period.

Exactly.

OT: Nice thread nonetheless, kakashi is quite formidable.
