Jason of the Mangekyou wrote: I don't see how he would know.. the two other jonin, especially the best genjutsu user in konoha didn't know what was coming, and isn't it odd that the one who possessed the sharingan knew? nope. Experience and ability. Kakashi is much more formidable than Asuma or Kurenai, and higher level Shinobi can sense higher level techs coming, shown throughout the series. Kurenai may have been a Genjutsu master, but she's a new Jonin, relatively inexperienced.

And Jiraiya is more formidable than Kakashi, especially Part 1 Kakashi.
