First, I was talking Part 1 Kakashi not Part 2 or DMS so discount those. Another thing is Zabuza isn't exactly that powerful, yes he is good at stealth but he is no where near that great. As far as I'm concerned the Zabuza and Kakashi fight was between the lower ends of the Mist and Leaf Villages. Another thing and this is undisputable, I said without help. Kakashi would have died if not for Naruto and Sauske thus that fight doesn't count. Thus the only times he actually beat Zabuza was on the Naruto Bridge and in Part 2. On the Naruto Bridge can be argued to be disqualified because both were wounded but since they were both at similar levels of injury, I will count it at least in my opinion. So the only time Kakashi actually beat Zabuza without any help or either of them injured(which depending on the way you look at it can be counted or not counted) is Part 2 when Zabuza was Edo Tensei, which has been proven to weaken the shinobi's overall power in turn for limitless chakra.

Secondly, Ebisu and Genma are Tobektsu Jonin and not regular Jonin so they don't count. Kurenai can give Kakashi some trouble in my opinion though she is the Jonin that came to mind that would lose to Kakashi. Asuma could beat Kakashi this is something I am willing to debate.

Third, just because Naruto won against Gaara doesn't mean he is stronger. There is a difference, the situation does effect the battle. If it was just Naruto he would have lost that fight very easily. However with Gamabunta(who keep in mind was strong enough to pin down the complete 9 tails for a few seconds) he stood a chance of winning against someone like Kakashi. Gamabunta gave the 1 tails a run for his money in the fight he carried the fight not Naruto you can at best give Naruto credit for assisting Gamabunta with the win. Kakashi has no techs in Part 1 to be able to take down Shukaku. The only way Kakashi could possibly win against Shukaku is with Kamui even then (unless he was War Arc) he probably loses. No way can Kakashi beat Shukaku in Part 1.

I will give Kakashi credit where credit is due. He is knowledgeable in how transformations and chakra work. However Genma, Asuma, Kurenai, Might Guy, and virtually every other Tobetksu Jonin and Jonin can teach those things as well, though Kakashi does have more overall knowledge than those I mentioned as he is at least passable in most areas.

As I said Part 2 Kakashi wasn't the one I was talking about. I was talking about Part 1, and when we compare him to every Jonin named in Konoha he falls flat only beating Kurenai for certain.

Onto your reply to BakumatsuWarrior. First of all not seen does not equal not known. It is heavily implied Guy knows at least up to Gates 6 or 7 as he is considered to be in a different league than Rock Lee. At Gate 6 never mind Gate 7 he trashes Kakashi on a level of humiliation similar to Madara whooping the 5 Kages a$$ses. Secondly if we want to judge by performance, only one person in Part 1 outside of Jiraiya and The Third Hokage could actually fight Itachi and stand a fighting chance and that is Guy who saved Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai's a$$ses like it was nothing.

Funny enough I don't think Part 2 Might Guy would beat DMS Kakashi. If Guy would land a hit he would win but the problem is I don't see that happening.

'''Onto your list, wow you think a lot of Kakashi to bad I don't see evidence to support it. As Kakashi has the worst combat record of everyone in the entire series(even including Part 2)''' I don't see how he even comes close to the hype. With only 2 wins(both against the same person) that is a pretty sad record.

As far as I'm concerned Kage levels=Beating the 1 tails one on one in a straight fight(which is a pretty low standard). In Part 1 I just don't see Kakashi doing that, is he an elite Jonin? Yes, but so is Asuma. Sorry Kakashi, but you really have a sucky combat record. Why couldn't you be a prodigy like you were when you were a kid. You were cool, bad a$$ even. Now we debate how many you would lose too. Whose list are you talking about? I already said Part 1 Kakashi was inferior to Part 1 Guy, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Hiruzen. However, he is not inferior to Asuma. Did you miss the part where Kakashi was reputed to be the strongest jonin in Konoha at that time? Because the Sanin, who were much stronger than Kakashi, were all in foreign lands at that time. Also, Kishi didn't hype up Guy too much in Part 1 because of Plot i.e. Guy's jutsus were too OP for the relatively lower-scale ninja battles that were characteristic of Part 1 (unlike Part 2 which had quite a lot of ultra-destructive jutsus). Guy has shown feats which prove he's far superior to Kakashi. Asuma has shown none of it. So no, Kakashi wouldn't lose to Asuma. He would lose to Guy, the Sanin as well as Hiruzen. So Kakashi was like the 6th strongest Konoha ninja in Part 1 (counting Orochimaru). He has a poor combat record but that doesn't make him inferior to Asuma, who lacks both hype and feats. Kakashi's hype and feats are much better than Asuma's, even with his miserable track record.
