LoneNinja wrote: Orochimaru and Kakashi never fought. They only exchanged words. They talked about Orochimaru's village, his pawns, and then Sasuke. Then after hearing what Sasuke was, Kakashi gathered his Lightning Blade.

Kakashi: "Even though you are one of those three ninjas, right now i can at least compete with you..."

Orochimaru just laughs and say his seal was useless. Then he explicitly says...

Orochimaru: "You were going to compete with me? Why don't you try?" Turning his back and walking away carelessly.

Orochimaru: "If you can that is..."

Kakashi's eyes widen in fear and freezes in his place.

Kakashi: "Compete with him? Am I an idiot?"'

Kakashi literally said he'd be an idiot if he thought he could compete with him. Meanwhile against Itachi, he said he can compete using his Sharingan. Completely different.

Him sweating is your proof he was more scared? I think freezing in place in fear, eyes wide, and calling himself an idiot if he thinks he can fight > sweat. He still went heads with Itachi, he didn't even make a step towards Orochimaru.

Oro used his killing intent to cause a fearful reaction from Kakashi and Itachi showed his MS to do the same.

It's your assumption, Kakashi was frozen in place, we don't know if Kakashi could move or not, he didn't try. Kakashi could of just decided there's nothing he could do to Oro and let him leave. Kakashi eyes were wider and he was sweating more against Itachi, when he was about to use Tsukuyomi.

It doesn't make a difference if Oro and Kakashi physically fought or not. Itachi could of done the same thing if he wanted. All he would have to do is to turn on MS from the start of the battle and than boom, Itachi causes a fearful reaction to Kakashi without even fighting. Oro only caused Kakashi to fear fighting him after Oro's killing intent reached him. After Itachi used Tsukuyomi Kakashi didn't think he could beat Itachi, himself.

Also in the translation of that chapter I'm reading he doesn't say:

Kakashi: '''Compete with him? Am I idiot '''

He says this:

Kakashi: '''Did I miscalculate?! What kind of fool am I?!'''
