I hardly read the manga. I watch the anime series, _Naruto: Shippuden_. In
episode 424, Kakashi's Sharingan (previously Obito's Sharingan) is stolen by
Madara. Then in episode 425, Naruto uses his new power and give Kakashi's old
eye (as far I know and from my view, it is a normal eye).

Kakashi is the **Copy Ninja**. So how could Kakashi survive in the ninja world
and become the next Hokage (I watched _The Last: Naruto the Movie_ ) with
normal eyes? I'm curious because Kakashi's nickname was given because he used
his Sharingan for copying others' jutsu. That was his technique. As I can
remember in _Naruto_ series, someone described Kakashi and told that the only
jutsu he mastered by himself was the **Chidori**.

How was Kakashi Hatake able to survive and become the next Hokage after losing his Sharingan?


Very soon in anime,

> Obito will say that his gift for Kakashi was not full and will give him both
> Sharingans. He will manage to use Susanoo and save Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura
> from Kaguya's attack. I don't know why, but after war he has normal eyes,
> maybe he can deactivate Sharingan.

UPD.

I've read that chapter again and understood why he has normal eyes.

> Obito says that his present may expire but it's not completely useless.

A sword is only as sharp as the one who wields it. The sharingan was nothing
but a ninja tool that Kakashi used. And he was good at it considering the fact
that he was not a true Uchiha.

However, the tools a ninja uses is not the only criteria that would be
considered while appointing him to a post of a kage. His diplomatic skills,
his relation with the other villages, his services to the nation are some of
the other (among a larger list) that needs to be considered.

In all these aspects, Kakashi has excelled. There can be no doubt on the fact
that Kakashi was capable of fighting with and without the sharingan. His
skills in strategy were at par with the best of the best. He had fair
diplomatic skills, which we can assume from the fact that he had already been
appointed for the post of hokage earlier (right after Danzo dies). He was a
person of calm demeanor and not pragmatic. He weighed his options before
making a decision and could think calmly in the face of adversity. All these
does make him a strong contender for the position of Kage.

Tsunade was not only appointed as the hokage because she was a great medical
ninja, but also because of her services in the endorsing the idea of the 4 man
ninja team with a medic ninja included in each team.

Also, the sharingan that Kakashi had only allowed him to read the movements of
his opponents in a precise manner. His ability to copy the jutsu was aided by
the sharingan, but in the end he had to commit it to memory so that he could
use it later on. Also he must have had excellent chakra control to read the
hand signs of a jutsu once and copy it immediately. Also, he himself mentions
while aiding naruto create his rasen shuriken, that he could use chakra of
elements other than thunder. We have seen him use water style, earth style and
fire style. So, his strength is not solely because of the sharingan. Like a
tool, the sharingan helped his cause.

Kakashi did not have his sharingan anymore. However, Kakashi did still have
all the abilities he was shown copying and the last ability he copied in the
naruto series is water dragon jutsu which was in the first series and it made
it that far without copying another jutsu. I bet there are thousands of more
jutsu that Kakashi has than the amount he's shown.
