Alright I was cently thinking about this, while I've always liked Kakashi I never though of him as the genius he supposedly was. Thinking this over I ralise I couldn't have been more wrong, Kakashi in fact has accomplished quite a bit in such a short amount of time. Let me get one thing straight first this is not about how strong he is or if he's kage worthy, it's about his "genius" as a shinobi and what he's been able to accomplish.

1. Created chidori at a very young age
2. Became jounin at a very young age(this is debatable though because it was a time of war and they were low on ninja)
3. Unlocked mangekyo sharingan even though he's not an uchiha, and even amount uchiha it is very rare to unlock it
4. Nearly took out all of kakuzus hearts without any prior intel(didn't even use his MS, but did have a small bit oh help)
5. Was seen as a threat even by pain(not really an accomplishment but more of an acknowledgment of his ability)

Alright that's all I could come up with for now, now please add and debate, and of course I can probably expect some flaming sprinkled in for flavor

What about learning 1000 jutsu?
Or his fame from his nickname?

Youngest ninja to ever graduate from the academy (age 5) and become a chuunin (age 6).Even Itachi who was known as a genious at a very young age never came close to this.He graduated from the academy at age 7 and became chuunin at 10.

genius is how how he elevated both sasuke (taijutsu training to learn chidori) & naruto (figured out he was wind natured and devised up training using his shadow clones to condense his training to enhance rasengan to rasenshuriken) just adding on to your list.

One thing about this, just my thoughts but with the two of them having different backgrounds, itachi a person who hates war may be reluctant of power and not as motivated to quickly become ninja, Kakashi on the other hand, being the son the konohas white fang, was extremely motivated to live up to his fathers reputation therefore besides being very talented also workd very hard and wanted it. I felt a little stupid just while typing this but i thought I'll post it anyways

He was made Third Division Commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces.He was just about to become 6th or seventh Hokage before Tsunade woke from her coma.He isn't from any known clan and is still this powerful makes him even more awesome.

Well you can use common sense and realize that if Sasuke is a genius then Kakashi must be one aswell.Kakashi isn't from a superior clan and he has more feats than Sasuke age for age.

I agree, that's why I think he's starting to become one of my favorite characters he's not from a major family in konoha yet he's become one of the most important ninjas in konoha

4. Nearly took out all of kakuzus hearts without any prior intel(didn't even use his MS, but did have a small bit oh help)
5. Was seen as a threat even by pain(not really an accomplishment but more of an acknowledgment of his ability)

I agree with everything you say here apart from the bolded part. He took out 1 of Kakazu's hearts by surprise but didn't almost take out all of his hearts. 1 was destroyed by Hidan and the others where destroyed by Naruto.

Other than that, I agree, he really is a genius in his own write :)
