Ok I'm just gonna straight up admit it that I'm a huge Kakashi fan. And I like Kakashi more than any other character in the series. But there's no denying that Kakashi is the "Weakest Hokage in History". And there's no denying that we never got the chance to see Kakashi taking on powerful enemies all by himself, except for Zabuza.

But the title of "The Weakest Hokage" need not be so negative, as there's still a huge, blank gap between the end of the War and Gaiden/Boruto. Which means there's some restricted space to develop Hokage Kakashi's abilities just a little bit further. He won't move up in the rank of the Strongest Hokages (it's hard to beat Tsunade's OP Healing techniques), but he still can be an incredibly powerful badass in his own right.

So what possible developments do you dream about when you think about Hokage Kakashi?

EDIT : I personally have two dreams:

1) Purple Lightning: Apparently, Hokage Kakashi has developed a new technique called Purple Lightning to compensate for his inability to use Raikiri. I have no idea what that jutsu does. But I do dream that this Purple Lightning would be in the same league as 3rd Ay and Darui's Black Lightning, in that Purple Lightning is far more powerful and potent than the regular Blue Lightning.

I dream that Kakashi somehow develops this Purple Lightning to its full potential and passes it on as a Hiden Jutsu for the Hatake Clan. We know that clan exists, but we don't know if Kakashi ever married and had children. As far as I know, he didn't. But it would be cool if he passed his techniques to other members of his clan (if they're still alive).

2) Hiden Dojutsu: Now this might sound ridiculous, outlandish and downright unnecessary. But I think it would be cool if Kakashi continued Tobirama's research into the Sharingan, and maybe extend it to the Byakugan. Kakashi is one of the smartest characters in the series, and he also possessed the Sharingan for 16 years. Not only that, Tobirama and Orochimaru+Kabuchimaru's research into the Sharingan should be there somewhere in the hidden archives.

So sometimes I think it would be cool if Kakashi used the available research and his intellect to develop a new dojutsu of his own, which would be nothing like a Sharingan or Byakugan but more like a telescope, microscope, night vision and X-ray vision combined. Kakashi could use his knowledge to manipulate the cells and the lens in his eyes with the help of chakra manipulation, so that he can view radiation beyond the visible spectrum.

As we all probably know, the human eye can detect only a tiny fraction of electromagnetic waves. Visible light is a form of electromagnetic waves. And so are microwaves, radio waves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and Gamma Rays. It would be cool if Kakashi could use chakra manipulation to alter the rod cells and cone cells in his eyes in order to detect these radiations. Then he'd have night vision, X-ray vision, etc.

He could also manipulate the lens in the eyes to turn it into a sort of a limited binocular, and even a limited microscope. He could also extend his field of vision by a few degrees, and maybe give him a little better perceptive abilities (so that he can use Raikiri again).

Of course, such a dojutsu as I imagine would be unable to detect chakra or see the chakra network or the chakra tenketsu. No OP jutsus like Mangekyo Sharingan either. It would be just like the night vision goggles the military use, with the added bonus of detecting X-rays and other radiations, as well as limited abilities to zoom in on distant targets or limited abilities to view microscopic objects.

And maybe after he's developed this form of dojutsu, he'd pass it as a Hiden Jutsu to his clan or to Konoha, who will improve upon it with every generation.

Now you might say that we've already seen too much broken dojutsus in this series, while the Byakugan languishes in the background. And you would be right. But I still think it would be cool if Kakashi develops a limited dojutsu, because the Raikiri is too awesome a jutsu to be discarded just because Obito took both of his sharingans to the grave.
