This comment is useless, unless you link it to points made by me or prove me wrong in any other way. Sorry.

 

[ZeroBeloved]

i think he is probably somewhat underrated. he is kage level as in he was considered to be hokage. he also created chidori which sasuke now spams..

 

[kaka96]

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.

He was a Jonin able to detect hiding enemy, created the Chidori, was a good swordsman, considered a genius by many before he had his sharingan...

 

[Vayne]

he's underated but by fanboys way overrated they think he can spam kamui out of his @$$ at will

He wasn't able to perfect the Chidori and make the Raikiri though until he got the Sharingan so that one's out.

 

[Owarij]

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?

it was like 6 v2 ...... a bunch of anbu/ninjas , chouji , chouji's father, and you're really given kakashi that credit alone?

 

[Takos]

He wasn't able to perfect the Chidori and make the Raikiri though until he got the Sharingan so that one's out.

That's true. But he created A-ranked jutsu all by himself when he was only 13. This should be taken into consideration as well.

 

[Cryomancer Sub Zero]

True.

he created chidori perfectly but it cannot be applied without sharingan,. so dont know what ur on about. sharingan has nothing to do with creating this technique. copy ninja kakashi created this himself

...before he became the Copy Ninja

 

[Cryomancer Sub Zero]

I didn't say he couldn't create it I said he couldn't perfect it UNTIL he got the Sharingan. Seriously it's explained in the Chunnin Exams Arc.

 

[Takos]

I didn't say he couldn't create it I said he couldn't perfect it UNTIL he got the Sharingan.

I fully agree with this.

Seriously it's explained in the Chunnin Exams Arc.

I don't remember the necessity of a Sharingan for Chidori being mentioned then. 0_o

he created it perfectly but couldn't use it as an offence, it is shown in kakashi gaiden chronicles... explained by minatoasto y kakashi cant use it... so dont know what you mean by perfected

I meant by that that the Sharingan was needed so he wouldn't be ambushed from the sides since it put's focus straight ahead of the user.

 

[Takos]

Cryomancer is actually right. Kakashi himself said that Chidori was a jutsu Obito helped him perfect.

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.

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 ) 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?

yea we all love kakashi but i think he is not underrated.
kakashi is a good ninja and could be a kage we saw in the manga they chosed him lol.

but itachi/pain are above kage level.
fighting one of them is suicidal for kakashi thats clear.

 

[Cryomancer Sub Zero]

Not that overrated or underrated but not that great either.

You have no idear that your talking about.

Kakashi was already a Jounin and a well known Genius befor he even got the sharingan.

I would argue with that. Pain is clearly above Kage level, but I'd say Itachi IS kage-level. (Well, not Tsunade, since Tsunade is to my mind the weakest kage when it comes down to pure power. She's the best medic of all, though)

Itachi and Kisame escaped from Jirayia and they probably didn't even know about Sage Mode. I think this puts Itachi under the likes of Jirayia and Pain, although he's still a powerful kage ninja.

True. It's also worth noting that Kakashi, just like Itachi or Orochimaru was also considered the biggest genius of his generation.
