Kakashi was like the best character shown in Naruto (original), lots of showing off, taking things casually. Even during first few episodes of shippuden he was a pro, showing off again but from there it was a straight downhill.
-His hand signs are faster than eye can see, he can smell better that Inuzuka clan and has opened atleast 1st gate. Where did these tricks disappear?
-He could defeat Might Guy (without gates), the strongest Taijutsu fighter of the series and he trained just Taijutsu all his life.
-He was even greater prodigy than Itachi as he graduated at 5 and became chunin at 6 (Itachi doing same at 7 and 10 years respectively).
-He even developed a jutsu of his own (chidori) and that too at a mere age of 12!!!! That beats all other ninjas in existence since everyone of them were at their prime when they made their own.
-Could hide his presence so much as to fool Kakazu and even Itachi (Kazekage arc). One who battled First Hokage and survived and other being another prodigy.
-At or before the age of 5, he could do multiple shadow clone jutsu. I don't even get the point how he couldn't use them anymore since he made an army of clones after Zabuza's fight and hell he was tired, weak, low on chakra and bleeding!!!!
-He trained every single day pushing himself to the limit that even Might guy didn't go. (One hand mountain climb).
-He copied jutsus just by looking at the caster and did their own jutsu even before them. He even copied 4th's rasengan!!! I mean, come on!! How many other sharingan users you know can do that??!! More important, why did he stop doing that in shippuden?
-The guy even mastered almost all chakra form, which is considered almost impossible feat for even pros. (even Sasuke, Itachi, Jiraiya and even kages couldn't do that).
-He is a better tactician than even Shikamaru and even excels at all range of combat.
-He even has 2 nicknames. 2!!!! (3rd one's bad though so i didn't count that...moreover it didn't fit him later)
-He taught Sasuke all that he does now with chidori. How do we know that? He told naruto that by controlling what amount of chakra you use for chidori, you can change it's shape and size. Why doesn't he use like it like Sasuke does then?
-Even as a kid he was fast enough to cut down a lightning hitting a ground. That's a freakishly fast speed, the speed of electricity and he was super low on chakra and whatever he could manifest, he was putting in on chidori. That meant the speed which he ran was his normal running speed. Then why does he look so slow in many of the fights? (Hitting Pain and Zabuza...both were interrupted)
-Strength. He could swing Zabuza's sword with ease. Point to be noted that he is not much of a sword fighter and even though he used to carry his father's blade, Zabuza's blade was way too heavier. Even Suigetsu had to puff up his muscles to hold it and going by Kakashi's figure, he too is not much of a body builder. That means it was his raw strength and not to mention he was fighting full day and even defeated swordsmen of mist who trained with swords their entire life.
-If his chakra was 'too low' how did he even survive the continuous battles of 7 swordsmen then jinchuriki then Obito without receiving any additional chakra.
And there are still lot more reasons. This makes me wonder why Kishi held off this kind of character? Using him as a test subject against powerful foes. "Oh!! Even Kakashi couldn't beat him. The guy must be tough". He should have been show stopper for most of the series.
What do you guys think?
