And I don't know if this is what you're getting into when talking about ranks, but ranks are not how powerful techniques are, just how difficult they are to perform, or to learn. Being a master means you can do something exceptionally skillful. If Kakashi is a master of the 5 chakra natures, then he should have no problem performing any jutsu that is out of the 5 chakra natures, regardless of ranks
