Background
His mother dying when he was very young, Kakashi was raised by his father, the legendary Jonin known as Konoha’s White Fang, Sakumo Hatake. Kakashi inherited much of his father’s skills as a ninja and was a prodigy from birth, mastering many jutsu techniques quite quickly. Upon entering the Ninja Academy, the young Hatake made his way through his school life with flying colors, but it wasn’t long before tragedy struck. When his father refused to complete an extremely important mission that would have cost his teammates’ lives, he was disgraced around the village as a failure and ultimately took his own life.
Continuing to hone his ninja abilities, Kakashi graduated the academy at just five-years old, earning him the status of Genin and placing him on a team with fellow students Rin Nohara and Obito Uchiha under the guidance of Minato Namikaze. While many of their missions were a success, it was difficult for Rin and Obito to work with Kakashi due to his prodigious nature and constant belief in following the rules of the shinobi, especially for Obito who had already been at odds with Kakashi’s behaviour. Regardless, these many successes allowed him to participate in and pass the Chunin exams at 6 by defeating his long-time rival and best friend, Might Guy.
Kakashi would later become a Jonin at age 12 and lead Obito and Rin on a mission during the Third Great Ninja War. Unfortunately, during this mission Rin was kidnapped and Kakashi lost his left eye. While saving Rin from the enemy, Obito sacrificed himself to save Kakashi, having his right-side crushed by a boulder. As a gift before passing on, Obito granted Kakashi a transplantation of his left Sharingan eye so that he could see the future through his friend. Obito made Kakashi promise to protect Rin, but that promise unfortunately didn’t last very long. Rin became the Jinchurriki of the Three Tailed Turtle, and in order to save her village, she sacrificed her life by forcing herself into the way of one of Kakashi’s attacks during a battle with Kirigakure ninjas.
Traumatised by this event and nearly contemplating suicide at certain points, Kakashi was assigned by the Fourth Hokage to become a part of the ANBU, Konoha’s black ops units, where he led many assassination missions and eventually watched and protected Minato’s wife Kushina Uzumaki when she was pregnant. The trials and tribulations of Kakashi’s life continued after his sensei’s death, but he was eventually relieved of his ANBU duty by the Third Hokage when he decided that it simply was not the place for someone with Kakashi’s good nature.
After some encouragement from Might Guy, he was eventually assigned to Genin teams from the academy. After failing many of these teams, he was eventually assigned to be the mentor to Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno, and was instrumental in their development as shinobi and their team’s victory in the Fourth Great Shinobi War.
Equipment
Kunai
Kakashi’s most commonly used weapon, with which he is experienced in both forehand and backhand grip. Kunai are short blades which can be used for close-quarters combat and be thrown like projectiles. Kakashi can also attach thin string to them to help him swing around the battlefield.
He also seems to have a habit of spinning them before use.
Minato gave Kakashi a set of kunai called the Flying Thunder God Kunai as a gift for becoming a Jonin. They had a unique, three-bladed design on them, as well as special seals attached to them which allowed Minato to immediately transport to their location via his space-time ninjutsu.
Shuriken
Your classic ninja throwing stars, used to expose and hit weak points from a distance rather than to kill.
Makibishi
Tiny spikes which are used to reduce an opponent’s mobility and lead them in a certain direction.
Smoke Bombs
A basic ninja tool which is used to create a smokescreen, either for sneak attacks or as cover to get away.
Chain
Kakashi has been seen using a weighted chain in his fight with Pain, which is good for long range attacks. While he doesn’t bust it out often so it’s difficult to know how good he is at it, he is likely quite proficient given his prodigious nature, status of Jonin, and he said he beat Might Guy in a contest with it before (along with bow and arrow).
White Light Chakra Sabre
A memento from Kakashi’s late father, it can be infused with chakra to power up strikes and leave behind a white trail of light afterwards. It was destroyed during Kakashi’s battle with Kakko, but the anime shows that it was later repaired (episode 349).
In the world of Naruto, there exists a form of life energy called chakra which can be harnessed to achieve superhuman abilities. The most basic of these abilities include walking on water, accelerated healing, walking up and down vertical surfaces, standing on ceilings, and sealing monsters. Being a form of energy however, chakra comes in limited supplies, and the more powerful the technique, the more chakra that is required in order for it to function properly.
Ninjutsu
Ninjutsu is the art of manipulating one’s chakra to perform elemental attacks. This manipulation is done in two ways. First, there is shape manipulation, which as one may expect, controls the shape and movement of the jutsu. Second is the nature manipulation, which controls the physical properties of the jutsu, i.e what element the attack is based on. Many of these ninjutsu also require hand seals in order to be activated.
There are a total of five elements available for nature manipulation, and Kakashi has learned jutsu techniques from each of them, though his bread and butter nature affinity is the lightning style jutsu.
Lightning Release
Chidori
A technique which Kakashi created himself upon failing to combine his lightning nature with the Rasengan. Instead, he gathers high amounts of lightning in his hand and strikes his opponent with it. He can also channel it through his kunai to increase its piercing damage as well as make it act as a projectile.
The Chidori allows for amazing speed, and Kakashi managed to take out over a dozen Shadow Clones the first time he used the technique, but the drawback on this is that it causes the user to experience tunnel vision and struggle with perceiving counterattacks or anything outside their immediate line of sight. Luckily for Kakashi, this problem was negated when he gained the Sharingan. With this, Kakashi’s Chidori has been nicknamed the “Lightning Cutter” (Raikiri) after he cut through a literal bolt of lightning with the jutsu.
Lightning Hound
Kakashi creates a lightning strike in the shape of a canine which moves at high speeds towards an opponent. It is connected to Kakashi to help him control its movement.
Purple Electricity
Kakashi developed this technique during his time as Hokage when he lost his ability to effectively use Chidori after the Fourth Great Ninja War. Lucky for him, the Purple Electricity technique works extremely similarly to it, as it can be used as a concentration of lightning that Kakashi can hit his opponent with while not suffering the tunnel vision drawback, as well as in the form of a projectile and omni-directional current.
Lightning Style: Shadow Clone
Kakashi creates a Shadow Clone out of lightning. It still operates as a normal Shadow Clone while active, but when it is injured, it turns into an electric current which shocks the opponent who took it out.
Lightning Transmission
Kakashi and a Shadow Clone form a rod of lightning between them which can slice through an opponent or even wrap them up.
Fire Release
Great Fireball Technique
Kakashi spews a giant fireball from his mouth which is hurled at opponents to burn them to a crisp.
Earth Release
Hiding Like a Mole Technique
Kakashi digs underground to hide himself from his opponent. Despite being undeground, Kakashi seems fully aware of where he is and where his enemies above him are, so he has no trouble springing surprise attacks on them, known as the Rendering Earth Fang. He also uses this jutsu to perform the Double Suicide Decapitation Technique, where rather than busting his entire body out of the earth, he only bursts his hands out from underneath an opponent to grab their legs and pull them into the ground, typically leaving only their head visible and totally vulnerable due to their newfound inability to move.
Earth Wave Technique
Kakashi causes the surrounding earth to behave like a wave, bouncing up and down.
Earth-Style Wall
Kakashi manipulates the ground beneath him to shoot up and create a wall. It is primarily used as a defense mechanism, but Kakashi can also create multiple walls in order to box an opponent in.
Water Release
Great Waterfall Technique
Kakashi fires an enormous torrent of water at his foe.
Water Dragon Bullet Technique
Kakashi creates a stream of water in the shape of a dragon.
Water Formation Wall
Kakashi creates a wall of water as a defense mechanism.
Misc. Jutsu
Shadow Clone Technique
Possibly the most famous of Naruto jutsu is the Shadow Clone technique, in which the user creates a physical clone of themselves to help them fight or perform other tasks. The clones are only able to take a few hits before dispersing, and when they do the chakra and anything that the clones learned is returned back to its caster.
Most ninja are only capable of producing one or two Shadow Clones at a time due to the amount of chakra they take to make, and while this is typically how Kakashi uses them, he has managed to make well over a few dozen in the past. This is especially impressive since the only other person capable of making this many clones at once is Naruto, and that’s just because he has access to the Nine Tailed Fox’s chakra reserves.
Rasengan
A technique that was invented by Kakashi’s teacher, Minato Namikaze and modeled off of the Tailed Beast Bomb. Kakashi spins chakra in the palm of his hand to create a spiraling sphere of it, which can then be smashed into an opponent for a great amount of damage.
Summoning
Summoning jutsu allow ninja to call upon the aid of animals they’ve formed a pact with. In the case of Kakashi, he has made a pact with a pack of eight ninja hounds, or Ninken: Pakkun, Bull, Urushi, Shiba, Bisuke, Akino, Ūhei, and Guruko. They can be used to track down an opponent through scent and attack them with a vicious strength. In particular, they can utilize an Earth Release jutsu known as the Tracking Fang Technique, where they burrow underground, track their enemy through scent, and then burst out of the ground from underneath them.
Eight Gates
While this technique is usually thought of as the staple of Might Guy and his student Rock Lee, the bushy-browed sensei’s eternal rival Kakashi has managed to pick it up a bit as well. Not nearly to the extent that Guy has, as we’ve only ever seen Kakashi open up the first gate, the Gate of Opening. With this, Kakashi is removes any weights of mental inhibition and allows him to perform the Front Lotus technique, a Rock Lee signature move where he knocks a target into the air, wraps them in bandages, and then piledrives them into the dirt.
Eye Mind Reading
A technique that Kakashi unintentionally copied from a Lock ninja in the anime. It allows him to peer into a person’s mind and read their thoughts. We never see him actually use it, but we know that he is capable of it.
GenjutsuGenjutsu involves the user disrupting a target’s chakra flow to the brain, causing their senses to go awry and experience illusions, some of which are so potent that the target will genuinely believe that they’ve felt pain. It can also be used to force certain thoughts and actions on a target.
Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique
Kakashi makes his target see their greatest fear. This technique likely has different effects depending on how the target in question would react to their fear.
Taijutsu
Taijutsu is hand-to-hand combat. It does not rely on chakra and hand seals to be performed, though chakra can be used to increase the power of certain blows. The lack of hand seals also allows for much quicker attacks with a reliance on skill and speed rather than raw power. Kakashi in particular uses his incredible speed as a means of rushing his opponent so that they are stuck on the defensive, and to get away from the action once they start to gain an upper hand.
Compilation of Kakashi using Taijutsu.
One Thousand Years of Death
The most legendary of Konohagakure’s techniques, feared throughout the land for its incredible power. Kakashi forms the seal of the tiger, sticking out his index and middle fingers which represent this techniques absurd strength. Using his amazing speed, Kakashi moves behind an important and crouches down. Before they have time to react, he shoves his fingers in their butt, applies just the tiniest amount of chakra, and sends his opponent flying over the mountains. It has long-lasting effects on its victims, leaving them so traumatized that the mere implication of it can send them into a frenzy.
Dojutsu
SharinganThe Sharingan eyes are a Kekkai Genkai jutsu that are typically exclusive to the Uchiha Clan, with the notable exception of Kakashi of the Sharingan. Kakashi received his Sharingan from Obito Uchiha as a replacement for an eye he lost in battle. While he may only possess the one eye, he should reasonably be able to use all the abilities we have seen Sharingan users perform, albeit weaker versions of them. These abilities include:
Mangekyou Sharingan
Upon killing Rin and experiencing the traumatic death of a loved one, Kakashi’s Sharingan evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan. Kakashi’s Mangekyou Sharingan in particular grants him access to a brand new ability.
Important Note: As stated before, Kakashi only has Obito’s left Sharingan eye, not both eyes. When Obito’s spirit returns from the afterlife during the final battle with Kaguya, his chakra merges with Kakashi’s own, granting the Copy Ninja dual Mangekyou Sharingan eyes and the use of a Susanoo construct. Some people make a case for this since it is the absolute strongest we see Kakashi, but it's probably non-standard and would likely be a very hard break of the unwritten “no outside help allowed” rule.
Kamui
Kamui is a space-time jutsu that allows Kakashi to a barrier space which sucks targets into another dimension. While he initially struggled with controlling the placement and size of the technique, he eventually became so adept with it that he could catch missiles out of the air and teleport objects as large as the Ten-Tailed Bijuu’s head.
Unfortunately, as Kakashi only possesses the left eye of this set of Mangekyou Sharingan, he can only use the long-range variant of Kamui, though he eventually learns to use it on himself.
Minato gave Kakashi a set of kunai called the Flying Thunder God Kunai as a gift for becoming a Jonin. They had a unique, three-bladed design on them, as well as special seals attached to them which allowed Minato to immediately transport to their location via his space-time ninjutsu.

While he may only possess the one eye, he should reasonably be able to use all the abilities we have seen Sharingan users perform, albeit weaker versions of them. These abilities include:
- Reading/predicting an opponent's movements
- Preserving chakra usage
- Copying a person’s movements
- And this does extend into actual combat scenarios, even into actual ninjutsu techniques
- In fact, the literal English translation of “Sharingan” is “copy wheel eye”
- The Sharingan cannot copy techniques that the user is physically incapable of however, such as Bloodline Limit jutsu.
- Reading lip movements
- Looking into one’s... “insides”
- Seeing one's chakra
- Breaking out of powerful genjutsu illusions such as the Tsukuyomi
- Seeing a person’s memories
- Perception on a cellular level
- Increased perception
- Forcing a target to have certain thoughts or perform certain actions
- Forcing a target to give away information
- Copying movements and jutsu in particular has become Kakashi’s signature ability, earning him the name of Copy Ninja Kakashi. Unfortunately, as Kakashi is not an Uchiha, he cannot deactivate the Sharingan, and so he typically keeps it covered by his forehead protector in order to prevent himself from unnecessarily burning up his chakra.
Mangekyou Sharingan
Upon killing Rin and experiencing the traumatic death of a loved one, Kakashi’s Sharingan evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan. Kakashi’s Mangekyou Sharingan in particular grants him access to a brand new ability.

Feats
Accomplishments
So unfortunately, Kakashi doesn’t have much in the way of quantifiable, direct feats in these categories, particularly since he was powered up for a large portion of the Fourth Great Ninja War arc, was granted Obito’s dual Mangekyou Sharingan for the final battle against Kaguya, and we don’t get to see him fight to his fullest in Boruto. As such, in order to figure out where his maximum potential may lie, we will need to scale him to other characters in the series.
So where do we begin with this? Well, given that he was a prodigy Jonin at age 12 and later became Hokage in his 30s, I think it would be fair to scale him to other Kage level shinobi. Not Naruto and Sasuke by the start of the War arc, Madara, Kaguya, or anyone with those levels of power that is, but I believe characters such as the Legendary Sannin, Gaara, the Fourth Raikage, and anyone who would be beneath them are likely contenders. I would also still argue that even if Obito was holding back during their battle, Kakashi should still be somewhere in the same ballpark as him. He would have to be in order to have pierced Obito’s body as thoroughly as he did. The fact that they were both trained by Minato and possess one half of the same Mangekyou Sharingan eyes helps support this as well.
So what does that leave us with?
- Sixth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village
- Trained Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno
- Graduated the Ninja Academy at age 5, became a Chuunin at age 6, and a Jonin at age 12.
- Known and respected throughout the land as “Kakashi of the Sharingan” and “Copy Ninja Kakashi”
- Naruto says at the beginning of Shippuden that Kakashi "is smarter than Shikamaru, has a better sense of smell than Kiba, has a better Sharingan than Sasuke, and has better Taijutsu than Rock Lee"
- Claims to have copied over 1000 jutsu
- Defeated Zabuza, Haku and Obito
- Has fought Sasuke, Itachi, Kaguya, the Deva Path and the Asura Path

- Gaara protecting the village from meteors
- Rock Lee protecting the village from meteor
- Sasuke destroying a mountain during his fight with Itachi
- Four-Tailed Kyuubi Naruto creates a crater
- Sage Mode Jiraiya's Big Ball Rasengan
- Pain's rain storm over the city
- Kakashi has famously cut lightning before, which would require speeds of around Mach 284 (feat was mentioned in Roshi VS Jiraiya)
- Sasuke's Kirin has been calculated to Mach 2915, which Itachi reacted to. Given that this was only about halfway through Shippuden, it’s reasonable to say that Kakashi has surpassed this speed by this point in the series, even if Itachi did beat him in their earlier Shippuden fight.
- Killer B and the Fourth Raikage's Double Lariat is stated to be near-lightspeed is the databooks, and Kakashi could likely be compared to them due to his status as a Kage-level ninja and has a reputation for being one of the fastest ninjas around.
Why got my post deleted, i was just trying to provide some important Wonder Woman feats that i think are missing.
