His battle prowess and speed allow him to effectively catch his opponents off-guard to quickly strike them down and easily evade attacks. His speed increased considerably in Part II; before the timeskip he had difficulty keeping up with [[Itachi Uchiha]], but outmanoeuvred the [[Akatsuki]] member after the timeskip. His hand seal prowess has also been noted as being very great, able to perform them at highly difficult speeds to follow.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 246, page 13</ref>

He is also able to open at least one of the [[Eight Gates]],<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 93, pages 7-8</ref> a feat that very few ninja are able to achieve. In the anime, he can also utilise advanced techniques derived from it while showing no signs of even fatigue afterwards.<ref name="ship3"/><ref>''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 85</ref> His raw strength is also noticeably high, able to in Part I simultaneously throw both Naruto and Sasuke a large distance, clash with the likes of enemies like Zabuza who possess great physical strength and in Part II easily lift and wield the giant blade of [[Zabuza Momochi]], [[Kubikiribōchō]], with a single hand despite its considerable weight.<ref name="c524p13">''Naruto'' chapter 524, page 13</ref>

While used less often, he has also shown proficient skill in [[genjutsu]], which he can use as a set-up for stronger attacks. His skill in its usage is able to easily deceive most opponents with well-timed diversions, giving his opponents little chance to counter. During the bell test for Team 7, Kakashi was able to use [[Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique|low-level techniques]] to easily subdue a keen-minded and natural genjutsu-type like Sakura.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 6, pages 12-18</ref> Against most [[Temple of Nirvana Technique|high-level techniques]], he has advanced knowledge of their working, and is able to dispel genjutsu as well.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 114, page 16</ref> Inspite of his skill, he mostly relies on his Sharingan to cast and counter genjutsu.

With this arsenal, he can attack or defend against his opponents in numerous manners. While a student under Minato Namikaze, Kakashi learned how to use the Rasengan, though he was unable to add his own [[nature transformation]] and complete the technique, instead relying on his Lightning Cutter. Kakashi has also developed considerable prowess in [[fūinjutsu]], something that [[Orochimaru]] found impressive given Kakashi's age.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 69, page 9</ref>

Kakashi is a highly-skilled user in a large variety of weapons such as bows and arrows, [[kusarigama]], [[Manriki-gusari|chains]], [[wire strings]] and others. Since early childhood, Kakashi had highly proficient skill in kenjutsu, able to wield his father's [[White Light Chakra Sabre|signature tantō]] effectively enough to be mistaken for Sakumo. Due to his ANBU background, Kakashi's sword skill was especially improved. His weapon-skills are also very adaptable, even able to effectively use [[Kubikiribōchō]],<ref name="c524p13"/> a blade of unique shape with noticeable size and weight, even use it to defeat kenjutsu specialists like the [[Seven Mist Swordsmen]] after just gaining possession of it.<ref name="ship284">''Naruto: Shippūden'' episode 284</ref> He can also enhance his physical tools, [[Chakra Flow|channelling]] [[lightning]]-nature chakra through them.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 559, page 7</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 595, page 17</ref>

Kakashi is also able to [[Summoning Technique|summon]] a pack of [[ninken|ninja hounds]] of various breeds. Much like all of his combat skills, Kakashi's use of these summons is highly versatile, ranging from attacking and restraining his opponents. Uniquely he can combine his [[Summoning Technique]] and his [[Earth Release]] skills to have his hounds [[Summoning Technique: Earth Release: Tracking Fang Technique|burrow and erupt from the ground]] in order to help subdue his enemies.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 29, pages 15-18</ref> Aside from offensive purposes, Kakashi's pack is also highly skilled in tracking down targets.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 228, page 4</ref><ref>''Naruto'' chapter 355, pages 1-2</ref>

Kakashi's most distinguishing ability is the [[Sharingan]] in his left eye-socket that was originally part of [[Obito Uchiha]]. Since the eye got transplanted into him, Kakashi's ability to copy nearly any technique used against him gave him the moniker {{Translation|'''Copy Ninja Kakashi'''|コピー忍者のカカシ|Kopī Ninja no Kakashi}} while utilising many of the Sharingan abilities including [[Genjutsu: Sharingan|genjutsu]], seeing through deception, and predicting his opponent's next move.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 15, pages 12-15</ref> This was seen in action twice, once against [[Zabuza Momochi]] and then against on [[Root]] members sent to watch Naruto.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 456, page 8</ref> This eye also gives Kakashi a heightened visual perception to his surroundings, enabling him to perfect his Chidori and its later version, the Lightning Cutter.

However, because he is not an [[Uchiha]], Kakashi is unable to deactivate it, keeping it covered until needed so not to risk his Sharingan using up a massive amount of chakra that would force him to take an extended bed rest. Because of this, Kakashi only relies on it when he feels it is an absolute necessity. Despite his handicap with the Sharingan, he is very skilled to the point that [[Itachi Uchiha]] acknowledges Kakashi's proficiency to most true Sharingan wielders.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 142, page 13</ref>
When he first received the Sharingan it had only two tomoe. Some time after this, the traumatic loss of his dear friend Rin caused Kakashi's Sharingan to fully mature.<ref name="mature">''Naruto'' 605, page 4</ref> In addition, Kakashi has extended the duration of time he can sustain using the Sharingan. In Part I, he could only handle using it for a short while in battle while suffering somewhat crippling effects such as severe fatigue.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 16, page 10</ref> In Part II, he is seen using it for seemingly a day while testing Naruto and Sakura without any adverse effects. While fighting [[Obito]], a potent genjutsu master, Kakashi was able to go toe to toe with his enemy in an illusionary fight until he himself asked that genjutsu fighting be abandoned.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 636, page 2</ref>

However, because he is not an [[Uchiha]], Kakashi is unable to deactivate this dōjutsu and is forced to keep it covered when not in combat as it consumes a massive amount of chakra, which forced him into extensive periods of bed rest. Because of this, Kakashi only relies on it when he feels it is an absolute necessity. Despite his handicap with the Sharingan, he is very skilled to the point that [[Itachi Uchiha]] acknowledges Kakashi's proficiency to most true Sharingan wielders.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 142, page 13</ref>
