Man, I never noticed that... Awesome, awesome find. Great thread.
I'll link people to this thread everytime I hear somebody talking about his low reserves again.
In personal opinion I think Kakashi is -always- stronger then he lets on, he's constantly holding back from his true potential and strength for a reason... Now that I think about it, perhaps he holds back because of what happened with Rin. That would make perfect sense actually. All in all however, he is a pretty beastly chakra guy.
Well Kakashi is renown in the base as a ninja who has low chakra reserves, but is it true? I would like to show something:
First day of the war:
- Kakashi was fighting since begin of the first day of the war against 7swordsmen and co(notice there is sun). It was even the first division we've seen fighting:

- Later when Naruto come out, he realises Kakashi was still fighting along with Gai and others:

- After that, Naruto meets Raikage and Tsunade and you can notice Kakashi, Gai and co were still fighting and it's the night now

And we know that he fought all the night because after his meeting with Raikage, you can notice that the sun was rising and it's not as if the meeting lasted that long:

Second day of the war
- It's in chapter 546 that Gaara, Onoki and co finally decide to start fighting(they were retreating all the time during the first day of the war):

- In chapter 588, Onoki again talks about his chakra reserves to be too low and that it could be their last attack, asking Tsunade to supply him with chakra:

- In chapter 591, Tsunade pretty much had no chakra left with her Byakuyou running out:

- In chapter 596 when we see them again(there was the fight between Itachi, Sasuke vs Kabuto, and Madara vs Kages in between), we see it was already night, meaning they fought that long until night appeared:

- And it's only 9chapters later that Kakashi finally ran out of chakra/stamina along with Gai(though there were flash-backs, they were fighting in between):

I rated his stamina before receiving Kyubi's chakra of course. So do you really think that this war arc Kakashi has low chakra reserves or is low in stamina like i usually see on the base? I personally doubt it
I just felt the need to create this thread because of the huge underestimation of Kakashi's stamina i believe. Hope you enjoyed reading U_U
Your overlooking a few things with this theory Bogard.
1. How chakra taxing Jinton is. All techniques do not share the same amount of chakra. And considering Muu could not use Jinton at half power then we can know that Jinton is quite taxing. Your also forgetting Oonoki divided his chakra by 6 when he made his Rock Clones.
2. While Tsunade did not engage in CQC until 577 she was using chakra well before that. Namely in replenishing the chakras of three kage. And returning to point 1. All techniques are not created using the same amount of chakra, so that byakugou uses a lot of chakra as does refilling the chakras of others.
3. The chakra stored in Tsunade's forehead was not a result of years of storing as she clearly ran out of chakra in Pein arc, and she woke up as soon as the war was about to start and felt she needed to restore her chakra.

Overall nice theory. Kakashi's reserves certainly seem bigger than there were before.
I always keep it deeply in my mind as well eventhough it's unlikely by now >_> Thanks anyway
