In the Naruto manga, [Kakashi
Hatake](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kakashi_Hatake) has been acknowledged by
both [Jiraiya](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Jiraiya) and
[Tsunade](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Tsunade) to be one of Konoha's most
powerful shinobi. But Kakashi himself had confessed that
[Orochimaru](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Orochimaru) was on a completely
different level from him, who in turn openly acknowleged that [Itachi
Uchiha](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Itachi_Uchiha) was more powerful than
him. [Obito Uchiha](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Obito_Uchiha) was noted to be
more powerful than any other Uchiha except [Madara
Uchiha](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Madara_Uchiha), whom Kakashi defeated.

My question is, at the time when Kakashi defeated Obito, had he surpassed all
of Tsunade, Jiraya, Orochimaru and Itachi? Is there any reference in the manga
itself from which a definite answer can be given, either in the affirmative or
in the negative?

question
naruto
Did Kakashi eventually surpass Itachi, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru?


In Naruto universe, Kakashi is a very famous shinobi and known far and wide.
However, it would be wrong to say that he has surpassed everyone. It depends
on the timing and circumstances.

  * In the first bell test, Kakashi defeated Naruto, but in the second bell test, Naruto defeated Kakashi, so it all depends upon the circumstances.

  * If we were to have a direct match between Jiraiya and Kakashi, Kakashi would be defeated. How? Well, Jiraiya faced pain in his full glory in Amegakure, i.e. the opponent's territory, while Kakashi could not defeat just one of Pain's Paths when Konoha was attacked.

  * Next up is Tsunade. Jiraiya himself admitted that Tsunade once drew him near to death, and therefore she is more powerful than him. Thus, Kakashi can't defeat Tsunade either.

  * Now comes up Orochimaru. During _Search for Tsunade_ arc, we see a hell of a battle -- Tsunade and Jiraiya vs. Orochimaru, still Orochimaru was able to escape in the end. Thus, Kakashi can't defeat Orochimaru either.

  * Now it's time for Itachi. In the very first days of Itachi's first premier in the series, Kakashi fought him and had to be admitted to the hospital for a very long time. Even in the Shippuden version, Itachi is just too powerful to be taken down.

  * Then we have Obito. Well, I only watch the anime, and up until now, Kakashi has just been losing to Obito.

Those are the reasons why I say that Kakashi is not the most powerful one.

**Taijutsu**

Jiraiya got the Frog Kumite, Tsunade has brutal strength, so it is clear here
that in terms of Taijutsu, Kakashi is not as strong as those two. As for
Orochimaru and Itachi, they don't use taijutsu much so it can be said that
Kakashi could be on the same level or better.

**Ninjutsu**

Kakashi is the renowned Copy Ninja, the one who has copied over 1.000 jutsus.
In term of Jutsu knowledge, it can be said he is on par with Orochimaru if not
greater. Tsunade is not that great in ninjutsu other that ninjutsu for healing
purposes. Jiraiya has great ninjutsus but if we talk about the jutsu element,
Kakashi can perform 4 basic elements (Katon: Goukaku, Suiton: Suiryuudan,
Doton: Doryuuheki, Raiton: Raikiri). He was also able to learn Rasengan, which
was rated as an A rank jutsu. Meaning that it is very hard to learn. Itachi,
being an Uchiha, would be able to copy jutsu the same way Kakashi did. So they
can be said on the same level. However, it is not known whether Itachi can use
4 elements like Kakashi did. Itachi for sure can use fire jutsus as
demonstrated during his fight against Sasuke. Kakashi learned to use Susano'o
after Obito transferred his remaining chakra to him upon his death. So here,
Kakashi can be said has surpassed the other 4 in this.

**Chakra**

Kakashi is very well known as having a low reserves of chakra. He commented
that Naruto has about 4 times of his. And considering that Naruto-Sasuke-
Sakura was like the new Sannin of Konoha, it can be said that Jiraiya has
about the same or greater level of chakra than Naruto. Orochimaru as we know
is a chakra monster, same with Tsunade. Itachi is pretty much on the same
level as Kakashi in term of chakra reserves, except that being an Uchiha, he
gets less strain than Kakashi in using the Sharingan.

**Genjutsu**

Kakashi is better in Genjutsu than Jiraiya, except of course, when Jiraiya
used the help of Fukasaku and his wife (the frog sennins) to cast sound
genjutsu. He should be better than Tsunade and Orochimaru too since he has the
Sharingan. He, however, is far weaker than Itachi.

Based on this, we can say that overall, Kakashi hasn't surpassed the other 4.
He's just pretty much on the same level, or a bit under the other 4.

answer


After reading all the answers, I think I can now make my own conclusion about
the question.

## Kakashi vs. Itachi

In the anime, Itachi is certainly one of the most powerful shinobi. It has
been observed that Kakashi was defeated by Itachi by the Tsukuyomi. This is
one of the strongest jutsu that he could use. But as has been remarked
earlier, Sharingan user can't protect himself from a Genjutsu cast by Mangekyo
Sharingan. To remain immune, the opponent should at least use Mangekyo
Sharingan (other than the method that Jiraiya said to Naruto, which applies
mostly to the people with an immense amount of Chakra). Kakashi was seemingly
unaware of his Mangekyo Sharingan at the time he fought Itachi, so he failed
to defeat Itachi.

It should also be noted that the Amaterasu would have no effect on Kakashi,
because he could simply warp away the flame or move into the Kamui dimension.
As for the Tsukuyomi, Kakashi's Susanoo would perfectly counter it.

Besides, as [**Sakurai Tomoki** noted in his
answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/14966/), Kakashi can perform all 5
basic elements, which is a feat Itachi is not known to have. In this aspect,
Kakashi is also ahead of Itachi. Itachi also noted that fighting Kakashi alone
was dangerous with a high chance of injuries.

## Kakashi vs. Jiraya

While comparing between Jiraiya and Kakashi, it should be noted that in the
anime, Kakashi was in a developing stage, meaning that his power was
increasing whereas Jiraiya's power showed no notable development.

In terms of Taijutsu, Kakashi is surely ahead of Jiraiya, in contrary to
[**Sakurai Tomoki** 's answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/14966/). Let
me quote the relevant paragraphs from
[Jiraiya](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Jiraiya#Taijutsu)'s article on Naruto
Wiki:

> While not being his preferred combat method, Jiraiya was still very
> proficient with taijutsu, capable of stopping some of the individual dogs
> that split from the Giant Multi-Headed Dog just using his legs. His natural
> strength, while nowhere close to his team-mate Tsunade, was very impressive.
> In the anime, there is one such occasion where this is shown, when Jiraiya
> intervened in a fight between a young Gamabunta (who was still bigger than
> himself) and an unknown snake of equal size where Jiraiya grabbed and tossed
> the snake a great distance away with ease. Also in the anime, Jiraiya, as a
> child, was able to lift a large boulder several times his size. Jiraiya has
> showcased a high level of durability over the course of his life; taking a
> direct kick to the face from Might Guy, as well as surviving a direct blow
> from Nagato's Giant Ox, which ploughed him through several steel pipes,
> without getting injured. Even at the brink of death he still managed to
> figure out Pain's secret and engrave it on Fukasaku's back, so he could
> deliver the intel to Konoha.

This is all about Jiraiya. Now for
[Kakashi](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kakashi_Hatake#Taijutsu):

> Kakashi is very adept in taijutsu. In the anime, as a child, he was skilled
> enough to hold his own against his sensei, Minato Namikaze, in his bell
> test, managing to touch one of the bells during the test. As an adult, his
> skills improved considerably, able to easily defeat hundreds of enemies
> using well-coordinated attack patterns to handle the multiple enemy strikes.
> Kakashi can also fight on par with Might Guy, a taijutsu master, ever since
> childhood. Likewise, from his various challenges against and mission with
> Guy, Kakashi has copied and developed considerable skill in his friend's
> Strong Fist-style and several of its techniques, enough to train others in
> its usage. He is also noted to have impressive speed; able to intercept an
> opponent faster than unfocused eyes could follow even from a distance.His
> speed allows him to effectively catch his opponents off-guard to quickly
> strike them down and easily evade attacks. Even against highly experienced

> after the timeskip. Kakashi has also shown remarkable reflexes, able to

>
> Kakashi's speed is further seen during the Fourth Shinobi World War, able to

> multiple fields of vision, and even keep pace with Might Guy using six of
> the Eight Gates. Kakashi was even able to blitz, and nearly sever Kaguya
> Ōtsutsuki's arm in one move, despite having her multiple dōjutsu active.
> Likewise, his hand seal prowess is very great, able to perform them at

> periods of time. He's shown a rather impressive level of durability and
> endurance, able to survive Nagato's building busting Shinra Tensei from
> upclose with minimum damage and continue fighting afterwards.

[**user3275697** remarked](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/14942) that
Jiraiya fought Pain in his full glory, while Kakashi wasn't able to defeat
even one Path of Pain. True. But the difference in Jiraiya and Kakashi's
situation is that Jiraiya fought with the Paths with Gamaken and defeated them
in his Sage Mode, while Kakashi fought the two Paths of Pain without even
using his Mangekyo Sharingan. Therefore, no conclusion can be drawn from this
fact.

Except for Jiraiya's Genjutsu, it should be noted that Kakashi has the ability
to encounter all of Jiraiya's attack. For example, he can easily warp away
Jiraiya's Rasengan, which he used in his battle against Pain.

Besides, I personally think that if Kakashi were to fight with the Paths of
Pain whom Jiraiya fought against, he would be at an advantage because of his
warping ability. He could simply warp the summoned animals into Kamui
dimension, while Jiraiya could not.

Also, Kakashi is certainly ahead of Jiraiya in terms of Ninjutsu. _**He is
said to copy about 1000 jutsus.**_

## Kakashi vs. Orochimaru

It is really very hard to compare them. However, Kakashi has improved a lot
since their first fight (note that he didn't know how to use the Mangekyo
Sharingan at the time of their first fight) and nothing can be said with
certainty. However, one thing that is worthy (perhaps) to note is that in the
statistics between Orochimaru and Kakashi,
[Orochimaru](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Orochimaru#Stats) stands at 35,
while [Kakashi](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kakashi#Stats) is at 34.5

## Kakashi vs. Tsunade

In this case, I think that Kakashi can easily surpass Tsunade in every other
cases, except for reserves of chakra. But nothing authentic can be concluded,
so I go with [**user3275697** 's
answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/14942).

answer


Simple analysis (from Madara):

> Think rock paper scissors. Just because rock beats scissors, that doesn't
> mean rock also beats paper. Also, I doubt Obito would have won against
> Itachi.

Now to answer the first question: **Kakashi defeated Obito. Had he surpassed
all of Tsunade, Jiraya, Orochimaru and Itachi?**

**Partially no.** With regards to strength (chakra and ninjutsu), defeating
someone with such strength like Obito doesn't mean he surpasses the others
that he already defeated. This scenario always happens in real life.

**Partially yes.** What made Kakashi special is his tactics. He is known to be
a genius because of his strategies in combat. Given his limited reserve of
chakra, he can analyze fully the situation, come up with a possible solution,
and utilize all the resources he has (chakra, techniques, etc) and maximize
them all to execute it. Winning a battle is always his goal. Focus is the key.

**Is there any reference in the manga itself from which a definite answer can
be given, either in the affirmative or in the negative?**

This would be tricky. I can cite all the battles of Kakashi in manga/anime,
but that requires a lot of space. Just watching/reading all his battles, you
can tell that he is indeed a genius because he always thinks and analyzes
everything before he makes a move.

Just an example: when Kakashi and Guy rescue Naruto against Obito, they were
patiently waiting for Obito to materialize. That alone can tell how skilled
Kakashi is. He used the element of surprise.

In my opinion, Kakashi did surpass them all, **momentarily** that is. I don't
see Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Tsunade taking on Kakashi with his double Mangekyō
Sharingan (Complete Body Susanoo, plus both variants of Kamui).

Itachi, on the other hand, just might have a chance against him. Since
Itachi's Susanoo is equipped with Totsuka Blade and Yata Mirror, which was
stated to be **essentially invincible** by Zetsu, he might have a chance
against Kakashi's Susanoo.

Double Mangekyō Sharingan Kakashi surpassed the Legendary Sannin and Itachi
possibly, but then again, he lost his Sharingan power ups.

## Conclusion

Yes, he did surpass them when he got the Double Mangekyō Sharingan boost.
However, the "Hokage Kakashi" is way behind Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Itachi. He
still might be able to win against Tsunade.

Kakashi can't spam his Kamui abilities so even if he could use it against
pain, he probably only use it 1-2 times till he gets drained. Also, Kakashi is
no where near the Sannins level. Unless you count Kakashi with the boosted
power ups from Obito which I really don't give because he had the power for
only 1-2 chapters ._. Itachi slays Kakashi, how much more proof you need to
believe this ?! Orochimaru slays Kakashi... Kakashi fears the man as seen on
many episodes. Tsunade & Kakashi is the only reasonable fight seeing that
tsunade is a medic ninja that has great strength & power. But even then
Kakashi would have his hands full. Kamui spams is a bad reason for Kakashi to
get the edge. Kakashi is my favorite character but this is too easy. & yes,
Hokage Kakashi still loses. Hokage Kakashi is the weakest Kakashi since he has
no sharingan & he probably can't use the jutsus he copied due to that. & you
guys bring up the 1000 Jutsus he's copied yet we don't know what the jutsus
are. Kakashi loses.

the answer is yes!! an those are my reasons: kakshi vs tsunade: kakahi can do
better ninjutsu with his 2 eyes sharingan he can do perfect form susano and
kamui kakashi can also do better genjustsu than her with his sharingan and
finaly taijutsu tsunade is phisiqly stronger than kakashi but much slower so
she wont be able to hurt him and even if she will he can use the kamui to
disappear so kakashi won this fight: kakashi vs jiriya: kakashi can do better
ninjutsu than jiraiya and im not sure about taujutsu or genjutsu but kakashi
is so strong with his susano that i cant realy see him losing to jiraiya and i
also cant see jiraiya realy doing anithing against kakashi so kakashi won this
fight: kakashi vs orochimaru : so orochimaru basicly is a very tough oponent
to everione but his taijutsu ang genjutsu are much weacker than kakashis and
even his ninjutsu is not the atckung type like kakashi orochimaru do ninjutsu
that can hurt you diefferntly like reanimation but if this two will face each
other rendomaly kakashi will win for sure i know that in the early childhood
and even in part one kakashi fear orochimaru but now with his power level and
the 2 eyes sharingan he can destroy orochimaru: so kakashi won this fight:
kakashi vs itachi: so i will begin i in the backround... in part one kakshi
was defeated by his genjutsu that surpraisdhim but back then kakashi didnt
have the mangekyo shrungan an definatly not 2 eyes mangekyo sharingan...
itachi can do the uncomplete susano while kakashi can do the perfect for and
it even can fly itachi can do realy good genjutsu even better tahn kakashi but
with the mangekyo shruingan can see through his genjutsu just like sasuke
didto him in thei big fight taht sasuke won and here is one of itachis
weaknesses hes low stamina... and now moving to taijutsu itachi is pretty good
in taijutsu but also kakasi but kakashi can do kamui and i know some pepole
will say that kakashi can do the kamui more than 2-3 times but now he can
pretty much do it as much as he want becasu he has 2 eyes sharingan so i think
if they both will clash and itachi will fight the same as he fought against
sasuke or even better he will still lose to kakasi itachi and kakashi are both
very smart but kakashi is stronger than itachi so kakshi won this fight: and
those are the reasons why kakshi is stronger than orochimaru jiraiya tsunade
and itachi

Here is a fact for you. Itachi died when Kakashi was still evolving and
getting better. Itachi was considered superior to all of the genjutsu users
except madara of course. If Itachi was alive, he would have been stronger. If
he would have taken shisui's eyes, his eternal mangekyou would have far
surpassed anyone else's because shisui and itachi were considered to be on the
same level. Itachi did not take his eyes by choice. And none of kakashi's
attacks can go through yata mirror. And the totsuka blade seals susanoo. Which
can be resurrected again but on casting the jutsu again. And people forget
about yasaka magatama. One long range attack that cannot be blocked and is
considered as strong as the tailed beast chakra infused rasen shuriken. Now
imagine amaterasu around the yasaka magatama. And please, never forget
izanami. Sage mode counters genjustsu. Yet kabuto being the perfect sage
couldnt escape izanami. Who knows what more he would have learned if he was
alive. So I believe Kakashi was far from competing against Itachi. Remember
Orochimaru didnt even dare fight Itachi. He was willing to fight tsunade and
jirayia at the same time but not Itachi. The answer is clear.

I feel there are way too many misconceptions on this topic. I don't understand
where half these answers are coming from, as a naruto fan for over 11 years
now.

**Tsunade:**

I saw someone speak of Tsunade's strong taijutsu. Tsunade is a horribly weak
fighter. The reason she's can punch so hard is because of her chakra control,
which she fully explained to Sakura in the training flashbacks. Mind you, that
she was _losing to Kabuto_. It was often stated that Kabuto was _"Just on
Kakashi's level"_. Meanwhile, Kabuto was one of the strongest people in the
series. Don't forget that Tsunade is a medic and not a fighter. She's
exceptional as a medic, not as a fighter. As a fighter she's just your
everyday jounin level.

**Jiraiya:** I saw someone answer about his taijutsu as well, stating it's so
strong because of his Frog Kimute. Well, he can only use that in sage mode.
Either way, I do believe Jiraiya was the strongest of the sannin and would
indeed quite easily beat Kakashi. There is simply no doubt about this... or is
there? The fact is that these people know each other well. If Jiraiya wouldn't
know about Kakashi's sharingan, specifically his "I'm gonna shoot you into
another dimension!" trick, He'd probably lose by surprise. Kakashi is an
assassin type ninja and would almost always win a fight when it came to
trickery.

**Orochimaru:**

I'm quite sure Orochimaru would win, simply because he's pretty much immortal.
He has a lot of very dirty tricks and Kakashi wouldn't have the chakra/stamina
to keep up the fight. Without that, Kakashi would probably win, though.

**Obito:**

Obito would probably kick Kakashi's ass, but he would also kick the asses of
the Sannin. People like Orochimaru posed no threat to him at all. Obito is
super OP. besides this, his Sharingan is way stronger than Kakashi's.

**Itachi:**

Kakashi would simply lose to Itachi. Itachi is possibly the strongest
character to have ever existed. A lot of people tend to say "Aside from
Obito/Madara", but I disagree. Itachi was the most genius ninja ever known to
anyone, as far as we know. All we have seen from Itachi was a display of power
while he was dying. We have, not once, seen Itachi go full power. His
Susanoo's was so strong for a reason, though. Although Madara is sickeningly
OP, I wouldn't be so sure that Obito is stronger than Itachi, let alone
Kakashi.

**Kakashi himself:**

It should be noted that Kakashi's power hasn't been extremely stable
throughout the series. Kakashi is known for having a laughably small chakra
pool. Pretty much every genin we've seen has had a bigger chakra pool than
Kakashi, especially when he uses his Sharingan. Having said that, Kakashi is
known for being a tactical genius. He's an assassin-type ninja, and would kill
nearly anyone if he, for once, was the ambusher. He analyses every situation
perfectly and always finds a great plan to deal with it. That being said,
absurdly OP people like orochimaru and Itachi wouldn't be bothered by it, as
orochimaru immortal and Itachi is just as much a genius as Kakashi is, if not
even more so. Basically, Kakashi would win almost any fight if he was the one
to initiate it and his opponent would actually die from having their hearts
deleted... :P

\-- my final conlusion is: No, Kakashi did not surpass them in the sense of
all-round power, but he did surpass them in a strategical sense. Basically,
you'd want Kakashi as your team-leader, where as Jiraiya should be the one
he's bossing around. Kakashi is basically the boogeyman. He's most dangerous
when you don't see him :)

You must note that Kakashi did NOT defeat Obito. I say this because Obito knew
about Madara's seal (chapter 675) and wanted to undo it to become the Ten-
Tails Jinchuuriki. Also, he wasn't even trying to kill Kakashi. So he LET
Kakashi STAB HIM IN THE CHEST. We all know that he could use his Rinnegan
(because he used Edo Tensei) but he didn't use it in his fight with Kakashi.
Kakashi couldn't even survive two Paths of Pain and Obito can use all of them
and also Izanagi. Kakashi himself accepted that Orochimaru and Jiraiya
(because Jiraiya fought all Six Paths of Pain BY HIMSELF) are better than him.
I don't know about Tsunade, but Kakashi would be easily defeated by Jiraiya or
Orochimaru.

Well, about Itachi, we all saw Itachi defeated Kakashi with his genjutsu in
the original Naruto series when Itachi didn't even use Susanoo (his Susanoo
had the Totsuka blade which could seal literally anything) or Amaterasu. Also,
Kakashi, without Obito's Sharingan, is nothing in front of any of the above
mentioned since Obito's eye allowed him to see his opponent's moves (he
would've been defeated by Zabuza if he didn't have Obito's eye). Kakashi also
agreed that the Chidori would've remained as an incomplete jutsu if he hadn't
got Obito's Sharingan. It would also feel like you are cheating when only
Kakashi's abilities are unknown and not Jiraiya's. One can escape from Kamui
with good speed (as Minato did). Also, Kakashi exhausts almost all of his
chakra if he uses Kamui twice and Jiraiya won't let him do that. Even if
Kakashi uses Kamui on Jiraiya and Jiraiya got teleported into another
dimension, he could easily summon himself back to Mount Myouboku by summoning
one of the toads and then summon himself back to the real world. This would
make Kakashi's Kamui useless and also would exhaust his chakra.

You're all wrong. Kakashi definitely surpassed the sannin, maybe not jiraiya
or on the same part as jiraiya. But itachi, hell no. With his mastery in
taijutsu, kenjutsu, dojutsu, genjutsu, and ninjutsu, kakashi even with a full
body Susanoo would never stand a chance. Like zetsu said, with itachis yata
mirror and totsuka blade, he's basically invincible.

He was a genius with kage level thinking as a child as stated in the Manga and
anime. Kakashi didn't have kage level thinking until he was kage.

Kishimoto, the creator himself said itachi was the strongest of all naruto
characters and that he had to give him the illness to kill him off because
itachi would have wiped the floor with madara and then there'd be no story.
I'd go so far to say itachi could quite possible stand a chance against sasuke
in his prime as an adult (possibly)

But no way kakashi surpassed Itachi.

Itachi>Madara>Obito=Kakashi>jiraiya>orichimaru>tsunami

Itachu wipes floor with every single person above. Hands down. His totsuka
blade and yata mirror alone. Not to mention his mastery of every type of juts
(ninja, Gen, ken, do, Tai, etc.

So no, itachI still beats kakashi in prime.

and basically told him, "I'll give you a chance to bounce, or else..." Kakashi
is defo a powerhouse, but nothing near Itachi. There HASN'T been anyone to
defeat Itachi that we know of. The guy was a genius to the end, only perishing
to a gay illness given to him to further the story line and the only way
someone so OP could ever be defeated. Itachi never lost his cool, he never
seemed cornered, it's like EVERYTHING he did was perfectly calculated. There
is no way in hell Kakashi could defeat Itachi. Not with one sharingan, not
with two... How many times have we seen Kakashi defeated? How about cornered?
Many... I cannot believe anyone is seriously considering Kakashi defeating
Orochimaru. Orochimaru is the epitome of a cockroach; the son of a bitch is
indestructable. He has been researching his whole life prohibited
jutsus...ugh, I honestly don't want to write all the things he can do, not to
mention the Tsunade-Jiraiya fight against him, where he wasn't even able to
use HIS ARMS OR JUTSUS. Come on people....Jiraiya? The guy is much wiser than
Kakashi, who couldn't defeat one Pain while Jiraiya fought them all. The guy
was a freaking old man and still was a powerhouse. He can tap into Sage mode
and we all know that Sage mode is what the First used to counter Madara's
sharingan... Why count a boost in power given by a dying Obito that lasted a
mere 2 chapters? If that's the case then why not make him fight against Itachi
without an illness or Jiraiya in his prime? It's like people look for reasons
to make Kakashi stronger than the rest, when he clearly isn't. He can use all
5 styles...buuuuuhuuuuuu! He can use Kamui....buuuuuhuuuuu! Let's see how much
kamui is useful when he uses it twice and finds himself with less than a third
of his chakra.

This question is not even that complicated a much as you guys make it
seems...So let's break down and compare the skills of the four to Kakashi's
skills...i be starting from the weakest to the strongest.

First, the weaker of the four would obviously be Tsunade...Taijutsu, well in
this department Kakashi outclasses Tsunade by a long shot...Strength, Tsunade
would make Kakashi look like childs, Offensive capabilities Kakashi takes this
aswell, Ninjutsu, Kakashi has more than her and with both Mangekyou Sharingan
kakashi would stomp her completely...So its pretty much Kakashi is stronger.

The second weakest I would say is Orochimaru...Orochimaru is on a different
level when it comes to Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and Genjutsu...Plus its impossible
to killed the without sealing him...Remember his fight with the naruto's four
tails...he got cut in two about a hundred (not literally) but he just shed his
skin and he's good as knew...Sasuke tried to kill him, Itachi tried to kill
him...crying out loud the entire Narutoverse tried to kill him...and he's
still alive to date...he's impossible to kill...the dude has impure world
resurrection, immortality to a huge extent, eight head serpent jutsu, a
million and one jutsu, large chakra reserve.

Third weakest of the four would be Itachi...just like how Orochimaru wasnt
debatable this is the same...Itachi wins...Itachi has Izanami, Susanoo'o
(Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror), Amateratsu, Tsukuyoumi...so there is no
chance of winning.

Last Jiraiya...I just got one word for you sage mode...the man can summon a
million and one toad to fight along side him...he has sage mode...that sealing
justsu that can seal away anything (the one he use to seal Itachi's black
flames), he has a wide range of jutsu aswell.

So from my observation of reading every single manga and watching all anime
episode (Cannon and filler)...i can completely say the Kakashi is stronger
than Tsunade with or without both Mangekyou...However the other three is just
out of his league, they all have jutsu's and abilities that makes him look
like child's play
