Kakashi and Kabuto

So I'm pretty new here in regard to creating a topic. I apologize in advance if this had been talked about, I didn't see it in the active discussions list nor could I find it typing in a search box. Also, I'm not sure if it belonged in the Vs. Battles board.

Anyway...

There were about 3 times (maybe more) during Part I and the original anime series that they teased a Kakashi/Kabuto battle. They exchanged kunai during Kabuto's "assassination attempt" on Sasuke once. But other than that:

1) Orochimaru told Kabuto that he's about the same level as Kakashi 2) They teased a battle during the end of the Sound/Sand Invasion 3) During the Search for Tsunade arc, Jiraiya also admitted that Kabuto's on par with Kakashi

I must say that I'm disappointed that they never got to do any serious fighting. I was kind of hoping that maybe they'd revisit it during the War, although Kabuto evolved into "Super Orochimaru" (I'd prefer he'd stayed the way he was). But outside of the fillers, they didn't even cross paths in Part II, so I do feel slightly cheated. But I can imagine what could've been.

Anyway, anyone else think that more could've done with them since they teased it quite a bit? Put yourself in the author's shoes, how do you see it going?

Please forgive me if this has been talked about before and if this is the wrong forum.

To be honestly, a serious battle between Kakashi and Kabuto wouldn't be such a good idea. Those two are almost equally skilled and both highly experienced. As you may have noticed, the both of them had never engaged on a real battle and I think Kishimoto did it on purpose. They both have different advantages on different ways.

Kabuto is good in deceiving, medical tactics and coming up with some forbidden techniques, he must also be stronger in poisons since he is a skilled medical ninja.

Kakashi is stronger in my opinion. He has the sharingan and chidori after all. Kabuto said himself that he is not good at taijutsu, so Kakashi has to be better than him at hand to hand combat, and would totally blow him away in ninjutsu and genjutsu (because of the sharingan).

That makes sense. Thanks!

before Kabuto goes all crazy about using Oro's power (all his extensive research, weird/nasty/creepy body modifications, all sorts of surprise techniques that they may have researched etc etc, a bookworm can be a nasty opp), he might have had some chance at defeating Kakashi (maybe 30-40%)... reason being, Kakashi's having Sharingan and decent skill with Ninjutsu. And all that they showed of Kabuto (before the war) was that he had formidable skill with medical ninjutsu, excellent chakra control, an ability to increase regeneration (Tsunade retrieval) etc, in this condition he (Kabuto) would have been defeated in a one-on-one match (in a region unfamiliar to both, Kabuto and Kakashi are both pretty intelligent).

However, after Kabuto changes... Kakashi will have only a lil a chance at winning (best shot maybe the Kamui, and the chances that he will succeed are barely in single digits XD maybe 10% at best). We have all seen how troublesome Oro was, even without Ninjustu, but Kabuto had access to that too.

@Vivek001 Lol.. this is why Kakashi would probably succeed if he ever got in combat with Kabuto. With the use of the sharingan, he could simply use Kamui over Kabuto and send him to another dimension. Voila! xD

In your defense, I'm not doubting Kabuto's powers (that guy has serious skills) It's probably because he's already incapacitated and Kakashi already became Rokudaime Hokage, so that's that.
