Kid Kakashi / :
power level, portrayal and best feats


You must be registered for see images


Kakashi was a genius since his childhood. He graduated on academy at 5 yrs old, became a full fledged chunin at 6 yrs old, and became a jonin at something between 10-12 yrs old. After that, he entered the Anbu, as still a young boy, and became an Anbu captain younger than all before him. In his years as Anbu he became famous and feared all over the world as "Kakashi of the Sharingan" and after he leaved the Anbu, even after many years, he still holds high status and strong connections in the organisation despite leaving, with past subordinates like Yamato or Yugao who deeply respect their past captain. It's really funny that some say "Konoha was in a war so they needed a lot of ranked people on the battlefield hence he got fast promotions" ... it's bullshit! Konoha didn't need ranked people just for the sake of it, Konoha needed skilled people on the battlefield, and the most skilled earned higher ranks. It's not like in a battle they could say "you know, we have 450 chunin and 30 jonin on our side, you're automatically screwed, give up!". Kakashi's rise of the ninja ranks as a kid was due to his talent and skill, trying to downplay that is pityful. Son of White Fang Sakumo Hatake (hyped to be > the Sannin combined ( )( )( ) and trained by the 4th Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who renowned his strength and his prodigious talent and hyped his skill more than once.

Able to become a chunin at just 6yrs old, as a child basically (when you have a lot of adult shinobi who didn't reach chunin status even, as said, as adults, and when great talents as Sasuke or Neji weren't even able to take the chunin exam before they were 12-13 yrs old, the age when Kakashi was already fighting in a war as a jonin, competing with other jonin that were adult and far more experienced than him), Kakashi was already surpassing his life long rival, Gai Maito, competing with him in taijutsu and defeating in the chunin exam final stage ( )( ). Child Kakashi could make jonin rank at the same age when talented people like young Neji etc didn't make the to academy.

As a kid, Kakashi learned even Rasengan from Minato, and he was able to create it without needing a Kage Bunshin to help with the chakra control, an exceptional feat. From that with his natural mastery of Raiton, he created Chidori. Chidori is born from a failed attempt from kid Kakashi to create Raiton: Rasengan completing the highest shape manipulation, the Rasengan, with the highest elemental manipulation of Raiton focused chakra ( )( ); since Kakashi attempted to complete Rasengan adding Raiton and later starting by that he created Chidori, he logically needed to be able to use Rasengan before than he became able to use Chidori; because he created Chidori before he received the Sharingan, he didn't copy Rasengan, logically, since he didn't have the Sharingan yet; hence he perfectly learned to do the Rasengan as a child, directly from Minato, and then he created another powerful jutsu as Chidori, all by himself (I made all this reasoning, albeit obvious, because there are the usual downplayers that say that kid Kakashi didn't learn the Rasengan but copied it with the Sharingan, which as said makes no sense, since he created Chidori starting from the Rasengan and he created Chidori before he received the Sharingan).

Kid Kakashi was praised and hyped by the 4th Hokage (just some months after that), Minato Namikaze, because of his skill ( ) and speed ( ). Chidori, the jutsu Kakashi created, actually based everything on the speed and the power of the thrust ( )( ). Many years later, in part 1, Kakashi decided to teach Chidori to kid Sasuke: he felt that to have him use Chidori as best as possible, Sasuke needed to be very fast, a lot faster than he already was; that's why Kakashi trained Sasuke to at gain a level of speed on par with weightless Rock Lee's speed ( )( )( ); it's only logical that kid Kakashi, who used Chidori, was hyped by Minato because of his speed, was able to outperform even kid Gai, was already a jonin in spite of his young age and was keeping up with seasoned jonin, was even faster than weightless part 1 Rock Lee. In fact, kid Kakashi's speed is such to blitz eghteen clones one right after another with a single Chidori dash ( ), impress a seasoned jonin ( )( ) and to intercept and blitz them ( )( ). As a kid, with his speed and taijutsu/kenjutsu skill he is also able to pressure and keep up with experienced, even if especially fast ( ), in a CQC fight ( )( ), jonin opponents ( ). He is also fast enough to dodge wide AoE Doton ninjutsu who completely destroy the surroundings ( )( ). After gaining the Sharingan, kid Kakashi completes Chidori thanks to the Sharingan precognition letting him perfectly use his speed to thrust on the enemy with Chidori's piercing and cutting power without fear of surprise counterattacks; he pressures with his speed and then blitzes and finally defeats with Chidori ( )( )( ) an experienced and powerful jonin from Iwa ( ) (said to be, in the databook, a very relevant element of the Iwa village. To defend Rin he then fends off an entire group of Iwa shinobi until Minato's arrive ( )( ).

Not only impressive speed and great taijutsu/kenjutsu skills, both already on more than elite jonin level as his feats show, kid Kakashi has high level ninjutsu with Chidori, especially after he can fully use it thanks to gaining the Sharingan, and Rasengan; that make him very strong in CQC. The Sharingan gives him precognition, chakra vision, genjutsu defense/offense and the chance to not only preempt but also copy and use most ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu. There's to add base genjutsu skills ( ) and exceptional senses ( )( ), and other Raiton jutsu we didn't see but that he certainly had (since he had enough Raiton mastery to create something as refined and as powerful as Chidori), and probably Doton ninjutsu (Doton underground fast movement with Moguragakure no Jutsu, something that even adult Kakashi found very useful in high level fights with opponents of Pain and Itachi's caliber, and Doryuheki) and his ninken, who we know he can perform jutsu combo (strong enough to stop someone of Zabuza's caliber; that jutsu was performed by adult Kakashi in part 1, but it mostly depends by the ninken's capabilities, so kid Kakashi could use that more or less at the same level) with ( ). he probably could use the Kage Bunshin no jutsu with great skill already. Kid Kakashi's handseals speed is also already very very high, able to create the handseals for Chidori during a fast CQC exchange ( )( ). Smartness was obviously one of Kakashi's main assets even as a kid, so let's not forget his tactical and analytical skills ( )( ). It's also very important to remember that all of kid Kakashi's good speed and CQC feats from the Gaiden are hindered by Kakashi having to restrain and hold back himself to not have his previous painful ( ) wound open ( ). Growing from a kid, a the time of the Gaiden, to a young man, when he was in the Anbu, his skills enpowered to the point that his name became known, respected and feared through all over the ninja world even as only a youngster.

That's how I'd rank him in a Naruto Tier List Power Ranking*. His level goes further above in fights where the starting distance is small and the opponent is powerful all around but not that much in CQC (as kid Kakashi can quickly attack him with his assassination skills) and can go further down in fights where the opponent has powerful large AoE attacks.

* Anbu Kakashi should go in the tier under the one of part 1 Kakashi but I didn't rank him since he wasn't directly shown in the manga.

I feel like Kishi contradicted his hype, big time.

Kid Kakashi is portrayed to be at least =Zabuza, yet in the future he had a tough time with him.

Kid Kakashi be on dat prodigy hype. He was high jounin level as a kid. Kakashi Gaiden showed just how talented he was even developing the Chidori by himself.

Part 1 Kakashi in the Wave Arc and until Chunin Exam was out of shape, remember. But after some difficulties he still stomped Zabuza. Read my essays, I summed everything.

Exactly... he also learned Rasengan by himself before creating Chidori, not to mention his great natural speed.

Tbh I stopped reading when you tried to deny what the manga said... Also, they needed more higher ranks to go on more higher leveled missions since it's kinda obvious that unless they were desperate, they wouldn't send Genin to S-Rank missions

Yeah, they wouldn't send Genin level to S-rank missions. But they would promote Genin level to Jonin just to send Jonin ranked people to S-rank missions. Seems logical.

Never said he was genin level, I don't care for nor hate Kakashi enough to say bs like that, I'm just saying that that had a role in it too

Chunin tier under normal circumstances? Given the repeated mentions through Mikoto, Iruka and Minato, people climbed ranks quickly in war times. He had a really hard time against Zabuza, even with Sharingan.

Kakashi was chunin at 6yrs old already. Years later he learned Rasengan from himself (perfected Rasengan, without need of Kage Bunshin help) and created Chidori, and he was a speedster and a talented genius, who was fighting on par with other villages' seasoned and experienced jonin level ninja. Then he received the Sharingan (precognition, genjutsu, jutsu copying, perfecting Chidori).

Yeah... chunin level.

Come on.

So? That doesn't mean he wasn't chunin level. Seasoned and experienced is an assumption, because as I mentioned, in war times, people climbed ranks very quickly. How many Jounins did he face? That's a huge assumption you just made.

Pre Sharingan kid Kakashi would be definitely able to do that, yeah. And with Sharingan he would take out their powered up states (KN and CS).
