First of all, hello guys, as this is my first post in Narutobase ^^
Actually I registered mainly to write it.

In my opinion, Kakashi is REALLY underrated. I got some evidence to back up this statement and here it goes:

Pure information stated in the manga:
The following info comes directly from the manga, so it should be considered true.

-Kakashi is famous for copying and knowing more than one thousand different techniques. I don't think any proof is needed for that, but anyway
-Kakashi's Sharingan was actually stated to be on similar level as Itachi's.
-Kakashi cut a lightning in half
-Kakashi would kamui (=win against) Kakuzu in case Naruto hadn't arrived.
-Pain admitted Kakashi would mean trouble for Akatsuki if he stayed alive.

As the evidence I have links to the proper manga pages, but I can't post them yet, of course. :p
Edit: Added the links.

My conclusions:
Yep, now these are not as solid facts as the ones stated above, but it doesn't mean they are not based on manga. For these, I'm sure many people will disagree with me. I think it's still worth analyzing, though.

-Kakashi was holding his ground when fighting Itachi in part I as long as Itachi didn't use MS. The fact that MS is exhausting for Itachi, we can assume he wouldn't use it if it wasn't really necessary. Thus, I think without Itachi's MS, the fight would be quite even and long. Even if Kakashi lost at the end, it would still take considerable effort for Itachi to take him down.
-Kakashi was actually an inch (literally :p) from killing Deva Path. And it should be noted that Deva fought evenly with six-tailed Naruto.

Now, a bonus question for those nice enough to read all of this!
How much more, including being nominated for Hokage and fighting several bijuus at once, do you need to admit Kakashi is easily Kage-level ninja and not your average Jonin?

Well I did say like on the first day I got here myself that without the Sharingan Kakashi is nothing more than a Genin with war experiance.

Oh no, he's certainly not! He achieved Jonin rank before obtaining his Sharingan. In Kakashi Gaiden he fought evenly with other Jonins.

It's true he is low on stamina. Still, I think he makes up for it in many other aspects.

Yeah all he needs is greater chakra (maybe if he learned senjutsu) :shrug: he was a jonin and in the anbu around the age of 13 so he's pretty strong oh yeah and welcome

True he is above jounin and probably kage level but he would be so much better if his chakra reserves could support all of the jutsu he knows and he wouldnt of beat kakazu, he would have needed to use kamui 3 times and he died after using it twice against pain

]Thats what he thought
-Kakashi was holding his ground when fighting Itachi in part I as long as Itachi didn't use MS
]Holding ground? itachi was handelling him and kurenai, and kakashi said HIMSELF , itachi wasn't even trying.... he activated ms to show kakashi what it means to be a through sharingan heir
Kakashi was actually an inch (literally ) from killing Deva Path. And it should be noted that Deva fought evenly with six-tailed Naruto.
You wanna add in kakashi had a shit load of help and deva was holding back his powers?

I sudgest you change your avatar, that one is from a "girl" named Aro, who turned out to be a man, and everyone insulted him, you dont want people confusing you with Him/"her".


OT: People who kakashi can beat:

darui
shino
shikamaru
kiba
hinata
ino
chouji
chouji,s father
almost every jounin in konoha (not gai)
danzo,s bodyguards
Sasuke 3 tomoe
naruto NO SM/KM

People that rape kakashi:
gaara
A
tsunade
mei
oonoki
naruto SM & KM
sasuke MS & EMS
tobi
= gai
kurotsuchi
kabutomaru
nagato
itachi

Just before Naruto arrived, all of Kakuzu's hearts came back into Kakuzu's body. One kamui would take them all out.

^This.

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

How can you say this when he was considered to be the one to temporarily replace Tsunade when she was in a coma and then was chosen to replace Danzo after his death, only to have Tsunade's reawaken?

1. In what way could he be wrong?
2. Itachi is a smart guy, it seems really unlikely for him to show off if it puts a big strain on him. And Kisame admitted Kakashi was keeping up with Itachi pretty well.
3. Well, it's not like Deva fought alone, right? :)

You can't really say that considering he was appointed jounin before he even had the sharingan plus his sword mastery is above average making him formidable to anyone.
