Things in the manga that you are still perplexed by.

[MrJon]

The instance where Orochimaru met up with Kakashi, and Kakashi was shitting his pants...I mean, I guess by now Oro doesn't seem THAT powerful right? But even at the time, it just seemed weird at the time that someone as powerful as Kakashi would be scared shitless by Oro.

Also, I didn't like how the Third's death overshadowed Naruto's victory over Gaara. He should have been celebrated a hero at that point.

 

[The Big Boss]

third hokage kept naruto's fathers name a secret, but, what enemies of minato was he protecting him from?

 

[Fair Warning]

the fact that Sasuke never got any poon

 

[P3ĮÑ]

He was a baby compared to oro back then, the thirds death was pretty messed up in my opinion

 

[Sephy100]

Kakashi wasn't as strong back then as he is now.

 

[Kαmi]

Who wiped out the Uzumaki clan? Surely this isn't something that's gonna get skipped over..

 

[MrJon]

the fact that Sasuke never got any poon

I watched Naruto: Road to Ninja yesterday LOL Its too weird seeing him as a player.

 

[SBL7]

How easily Nagato was changed by Naruto.

 

[UchihaKyru]

When Itachi AND Kisame RAN from Jiriya

 

[fahadkurama]

Why kishi goes on breaks and never gives a "REAL Double Issue" :dafuq:

Kishi was trying to make Naruto a hero when the villiage actually needed him. Gaara would have been defeated by somebody else, i think this was just a learning curve for naruto, that there are much greater things in life than glory!!

 

[BazzBee]

Why Itachi lost to Sasuke :NO:

 

[osba]

that they didn't use samehada to take a large chunk of everyone in the shinobi alliance's chakra instead of giving it away, then giving it to naruto who would form it to kakashi suitable chakra who would then kill obito and just kamui the freaking gado mazu/ten tails.........

/victory

that naruto doesnt just lets his clones fight..

that naruto hasn't used sage/chakra mode (i call it chakra mode because IMO it isnt tailed beast mode as naruto will change the chakra)

..i can keep rambling on like this for days....

 

[Uchihabrat1560]

How easily Fourth and 3rd died.. and also how Obito phased thru even before obtaining mangekyo..

 

[Rikud0 Sennin]

How easily Fourth and 3rd died.. and also how Obito phased thru even before obtaining mangekyo..

[6PathsofKami]

How easily Fourth and 3rd died.. and also how Obito phased thru even before obtaining mangekyo..

Obito never did that with a normal Sharingan.

 

[Rikud0 Sennin]

Obito never did that with a normal Sharingan.

[Uchiha Samater]

[Gyakusetsu]

How Obito left an unconscious Kakashi alive and let him keep his eye.

We know that Kakashi got much more powerful over the time skip. He used to be just some Jonin, but now he's among the most powerful in the village and was even considered to be the new hokage before Danzo stepped into the job. That said, I don't think Kakashi would do too well in a direct fight against Orochimaru, especially not now that he has his hands back. Orochimaru was able to fight the 4-tail Naruto and effectively "win" against it (pushed naruto so far out of the battlefield that he started attacking his own teammates). If the battle continued long enough maybe Orochimaru wouldn't have won, but because he pushed Naruto so far away with his sword technique the battle COULDN'T continue.

Kakashi, as we saw during the chuunin exams, had some ability with seals, but not as much as Orochimaru had. Without some kind of seal, I can't imagine that Kakashi could win in that fight. Orochimaru's body is effectively immune to physical attacks, and Kakashi doesn't have the kinds of chakra reserves necessary for a long, drawn-out fight against him. All of this ignores the possibility that Orochimaru could have multiple powerful Edo Tensei summons waiting around somewhere, to bring out if Kakashi was putting up a big fight.

So yes, Kakashi has gotten more powerful, but there are still plenty of reasons why he was and still should be afraid of meeting Orochimaru, alone.
