@DarkDragon

This is Japanese. He is the one in charge of them, and he is far enough above them to not be called senpai. Therefore, he's called Sensei. And he does teach them. About field operations and how to act and react. That's his job.

Kakashi is not meant to train them. He's their guide on their missions and he only teaches them about field operations, and then he teaches them basics if he feels it's necessary. That's why no other sensei teaches their students techniques unless they're direct mentors of the students. Not their job.

Also, under his leadership, each member of Team 7 improved greatly. Several other Jonins saw their improvement during the Chunin exams and were like "What is Kakashi teaching them for them to have gotten this far?" and "Is this really Naruto?"

In fact, "not make sure his team is the best"? Guy's students, who were 1 year into their lives as Genin, were all only a little above Kakashi's Genin by the times the exams rolled around. In fact, Sasuke ended up matching Lee's speed for short bursts and had Chidori. Naruto ended up defeating Neji, the #1 Genin. Tenten... Well, she's whatever. Point is, Guy's Genin were all capable, Neji and Lee especially, after 1 year with Guy. Kakashi's were able to hold their own with them after some missions and 6 months with him.

As a captain, it is not his job to get missions for his team. He is assigned missions by the ones who get the mission requests. All he does is make sure the mission requirements meet his team's skills. And since they hadn't done enough missions yet, he kept them at a lower level until he finally let them try what was supposed to be a C level mission.

Naruto was improving vastly already, and Sakura already had the most advanced chakra control of the 3. Their strongest teammate was turning evil. But yeah kakashi will just ignore that and turn to the already improving Naruto and Sakura who already mastered chakra control.

Kakashi probably would have started training them all in earnest again when Sasuke calmed down. But the Sound Four got Sasuke first. Then Sakura and Naruto went to their MENTORS to actually train their techniques and combat abilities. Because you train that with mentors. It is not a Jonin Sensei's responsibility to teach these kids Taijutsu or techniques. That's up to the student. And usually, the student finds a specific mentor as a result.
