#naruto #kakashi #team7
Team 7 is the epitome of the kids in the pool meme meme. Kakashi is lifting up Sasuke, Naruto is trying not to drown, and Sakura is dead in the water.
Yeah I got the meme😂
Take a break. Whats your favorite Team? Iruka noodels?
yet Sasuke got the closest to death under his watch
Cringe
I wouldn't mind him leaving Naruto and Sasuke nearly as much if he set them up with actual competent sensei. But, no, he completely ignored Sakura and left Naruto, the 9 Tails jinchuriki, in the hands of FUCKING EBISU. You even remember who tf that is? Probably not, because he's a random nobody who did fucking nothing. If he left Naruto with Jiraiya (who he knew pretty well) and Sakura with basically anyone, it wouldn't have been nearly as big an issue
Not only did Kakashi leave Sakura for a month, he taught her nothing for weeks while Sasuke and Naruto were learning to climb the tree. Sakura was just chilling and wasting time. And btw, Might Guy helped build Neji's stamina by having him compete with Lee.
When Sasuke and Naruto were learning how to climb trees, Sakura kept chilling because she learnt it first.
Remember, when he was supposed to be a little genius? That's from that time
@@kittenfrompicture I think his point is that he could have had Sakura training on something else instead of watching Sasuke and Naruto.
While Naruto and Sasuke were trying to climb trees, Kakashi should have taught Sakura how to walk on water. That would have ensured that her control would have kept pace with their capacity. He could also have taught her the fundamentals of focusing her chakra to gain super strength.
@@karsten69 That would also boost Sasuke's and Naruto's determination (They were already determined, but maybe it would helped them a bit) to keep doing that, because there was Sakura, who was already 2 steps in front of them both. They'd be like - "wow, she can now walk on water, how cool, I wanna do that too.".
Wasn't he narratively guarding tazuna along with sakura and/or healing/resting?
Kakashi reminds me of high level athletes that go on to be coaches and suck at it. When you’re a prodigy, it’s probably frustrating to teach non-prodigies. The inverse is probably why Jiraiya was an incredible teacher.
I mean, he had 1 arch to train team 7 as a team. and in that 1 arch his method of pitching sasuke and naruto against each other for chakra control tree climbing actually did work.
idk, if saying he “sucks” is all that accurate, since the times we do see him taking a teaching roll, he DOES get results.
-team 7 initiation for teamwork
-chakra control for tree climbing
-chidori for sasuke and sharingan training
-development of Naruto’s Rasenshuriken.
@@midshipman8654 I agree. I just think he’s not very good in comparison to the other teachers. He taught Sakura next to nothing tbh. The reason why Sasuke got so much stronger, I believe, is because he’s a genius like Kakashi (although, far from the same level of genius). I think if he had been Neji’s teacher, he would’ve had similar results, but he struggled to advance his non-prodigious students very much. He was at a bit of a handicap, though, considering Naruto had that extra seal disrupting his chakra and Sakura seemed to be more interested in hanging out with Sasuke than getting stronger.
@@iamdavidreardon No kakashi truly was a shitty ass teacher naruto didn't have any extra seals disrupting his chakra the only time he did have such a seal was during the chunnin exam and this shows actually how shitty a teacher kakashi is he focused entirely on sasuke so much that he didnt even check sakura or naruto if they were hurt in any way he had to get jiraya who found the seal by ACCIDENT to get rid of it thank god he got jiraya to train him otherwise his seal would be there the whole of naruto and likely no one would realize it.
All the other teams either learn from their clan hyuuga inuzuka aburame or they actually get training and help from their sensei like lee and tenten which you can see how they improve and keep learning new stuff all the time seriously everyone learns new jutsu's constantly or they learn new things because their senseis are atleast competent at it. Kakashi meanwhile... Walk up a tree while I watch and do absolutely NOTHING TO HELP! He only motivated them he didn't explain the technique that well HELL SAKURA HAD TO HELP THEM! SAKURA HARUNO AS A GENIN WAS A BETTER TEACHER THEN FUCKING KAKASHI HATAKE! This isn't about being a prodigy teaching none prodigy this is a complete lack of active teaching which jiraya also has naruto never had a proper teacher EVER everything he did learn he got vague instructions on and then learned by himself.
Think about it rasengan jiraya said do this done with that oh you got help from a cat? cool anyway do this thing done? neat alright now do this step etc and so on because of this people consider naruto being a crappy ninja because he doesn't grow as others should... No it's not that naruto is a great ninja learning the rasengan in a few weeks where it toke jiraya months it's not that he is a crappy ninja it is because he is sorrounded by crappy teachers.
We hear kakashi taught tree walking jiraya taught water walking kakashi actually was good he taught him wind release THEY DIDNT TEACH SHIT! It was all trial and error because they were such crappy teachers I love them as characters and such but as teachers they fucking suck and can get thrown in the trash.
Hell during his training of wind release he went to asuma because kakashi was such a crappy teacher which was the smartest thing he has ever done in relations teaching ascepts in that one moment naruto had an actual teacher who taught him something who explained things properly and wouldn't you fucking know it he understood after a while and mastered it even if it was supposed too be incredibly hard why? BECAUSE ASUMA WAS A PROPER TEACHER UNLIKE THE OTHER 2 IDIOTS!!!
Too summarize kakashi and jiraya cool characters love them in general but as teachers... Fuck em id rather be taught by iruka how to be a ninja then I rather be taught by iruka then those 2 idiots.
@@darklight998 I’m not gonna lie, that’s a bit too much to read, but I’m sure I agree with you haha
@@iamdavidreardon Yeah that's why I summarized it a little in the end don't worry about reading it all was just ranting mostly at the mere thought of those 2 being considered good teachers.
Kakashi ditching Naruto and Sakura to teach Sasuke individually never sat right with me upon viewing. Even though he understood how far behind the other two were, he focused on Sasuke because he clearly favored him. This made me see Kakashi as too conceited/aloof to be a fully functional sensei for the remainder of the series tbh but he's still badass
The thing that gets me about the chunin exam is that, while I understand Sasuke needed it more immediately with the match against Gaara just to survive, if Sasuke lost and Naruto went on to face Gaara, Naruto would have been completely unprepared to face him without Jiraya. If everything went to plan without the sand & sound invasion and Ebisu was all Naruto had, Naruto would have gotten got in a match against Gaara. Cause let’s be honest, without plot armor and the very plot itself, Sasuke and Naruto would have gotten got.
He didn't focus on Naruto because He knew Jirraya would train him (it wasn't coincidence that Kakashi started focusing on Sasuke when Jirraya arived). The only person he forgot was Sakura but I'd say that has more to do with Kishimoto than Kakashi. Kishimoto literally forgot Sakura's development so many times she became a meme.
In the case of the chuunin exam I don't think it was Kakashi playing favorites. Two things to remember:
1) Kakashi knew Sasuke had the cursed seal placed on him by Oro so he wanted to keep a close eye on him both to ensure the cursed seal did not emerge again and to protect Sasuke.
2) Sasuke has the same lightning affinity as Kakashi, so he knew that he'd be especially suited to learn Chidori. He even mentions he's personally training Sasuke because they're "the same type".
@@asandax6 then why he even ask Ebisu to train Naruto if he knew Jiraiya will come..
@@peekopyro1840 because Jiraiya wasn't there at the time.
I'd like to take this time to remind everyone that Kakashi chewed Iruka out when signing Team 7 up for the chunin exams when Iruka thought it was too early for them. Kakashi made it clear that Iruka had no room to criticize his teaching methods, saying quote "They aren't your students anymore, they're mine,"
Fast-forward to the chunin exams and when Lee is tapping into the 8 gates, Kakashi has the nerve to start criticizing Guy's teaching methods for teaching Lee such a dangerous technique, while also having his woefully underprepared students participating in the same environment and the only reason they managed to make it that far is mostly by sheer luck, lol.
Omg I suddenly remembered this part that I thought at the time was unimportant! And you're so right ! Iruka was right ! Joining in the Chunin exams made Sasuke's inferiority complex grow to the point that he thought going with a child-stalker would be a great idea , Sakura almost died , Naruto would have ended up defeating Gaara even without joining Chunin exam because he spammed shadow clones and used summoning Jutsu that Jiraiya taught him . Guy was the one who did the best : Perfected Neji's moves , taught Lee something that would change his life , made Tenten use her weak powers to the farthest extent so that she doesn't end up dead... And Kakashi had the NERVE to criticize Guy ...
@@subratanandy2142Guy was always the one with the higher emotional intelligence of the two rivals 😂😂
In all honesty....Kakashi's 3 only began to realize true potential AFTER they went to the Sannin. Sakura was suppose to be a Genjutsu specialist before Tsunade 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah? Remind me what Jiraiya taught Naruto again during the time skip? Then remind me who was left to pick up his slack. Sasuke was mostly self-taught, he didn’t really learn much from Orochimaru. The only one who truly benefited from a Sanin was Sakura.
Say it again. Kakashi gets far too much credit for what little he did for the team.
Instead of genjutsu specialist,it would be better to build from her weakness.
She was useless against Kakashi genjutsu so she trained to resist that.
Her close quarters combat skills sucked so she learned them.
She couldn't help when they were wounded so she learned medical skills.
The fact that she didn't learn seal after the forest of death is the one thing was missing really.
I would have written that she was practicing genjutsu along with Tsunade's teachings.
@Eternal Brightness well Kishimoto needed us to see Naruto learn the Rasenshuriken and Sage Mode. I'd have had Naruto arrive back at Konoha already a perfect Sage, with the Rasenshuriken already throwable. And he would have fully mastered control of the V1 Nine Tails Cloak, but have hit a wall. Sakura would fill her Byakuya Seal during the mission to Tenshi Bridge, and already have achieved Hashirama Sage Mode via the Hashirama Cell, Tsunade knows about it, knows about Yamato, and Sakura would likely be able to handle and support the first Hokage's living flesh, and Tsunade would know this and would take advantage of like a serious wound Sakura takes during training or on a mission, by healing Hashirama flesh into it. Sasuke would also have trained in Ryuchi Cave and mastered Snake Sage Mode. All during the Timeskip.
He also taught Sasuke the one jitsu that works with just plowing ahead and not worryingly about what's behind you. He legitimately gave him tunnel vision the jitsu
Yea but minato said that before he got the sharingan and the sharingan fixes that one and only flaw with its amazing vision
This comments and all its likes is a perfect example of how this series is extremely misunderstood
@@tsukune2910 if you mean the original commenter i can see why people might think the whole tunnel vision jutsu is funny but im pretty sure the series states the sharingan fixes it or is heavily implied to
@@B3an01 yea im talking about the original comment not yours. And then people are liking this misinformation. He tought sasuke Chidori knowing he had sharingan.
@ren @leo that's not the point. My point is he taught him to be zoned on a target. Yes the sharingan fixes the vision part. But he taught him to be a tunnel visioned killer how kakashi was taught to be a tunnel visioned killer. Hell when he failed a job ( protecting Naruto's mom ) Donzo but him into the ombo to be just that a not self thinking killer. That's why his a terrible teacher the whole point of the video.
In original Naruto...our first or second interaction we saw between Kakashi and Guy shows that Guy was better at being a sensei. Guy saw his genin were not ready and held them back a year before entering the chunin exam. Team 7 was very immature mentally and physically. I wonder how the story would be if Kakashi let his team mature a year before entering Chunin exam
No way Sasuke and Naruto would have accepted that lol.
@@fenmio13370 And? What would they do, go on a hunger strike?
Yes. That's one of the reasons that TenTen should have been one of the best genins back then, because she had more experience and more training time.
@@kayqueelson1761 Ten Ten is simply Ten Ten you can have the greatest sensei in the whole world to be her mentor and she will simply still be Ten Ten.
@@dexsama8890 Gee I wonder what a young shonen protagonist would do if they were forbidden to enter a tournament to show off their skills...
It would've been SO cool to see Sakura become a Genjutsu/healer.
I'm actually disappointed it didn't happen.
She's kinda more of a one-punch/healer. But if you add Genjutsu to that, it would make so much sense.
Befuddle her enemies so she could punch the hell outta them in one hit.
Exactly!! A basic Genjutsu would work so well ! But nope, Kishimoto lacked a lot when it came to making a girl have a moment.
@@subratanandy2142
Some times I feel that kishimoto has never met a girl
I will forever say that kishimoto should have focused a lot on sakuras battle iq and had chiyo teach her puppet strings. And maybe once she got the 100 healings seal it would transfer through the strings essentially turning her into the ultimate support ninja who can constantly heal her allies from long distances and literally pull them out of any bad situations
@@nishathaveri4498I mean he admitted he never really had an emotional relationship with another woman besides his mother soooo.... lmao. Japanese men continuing to be Japanese men
@@subratanandy2142 Eh also the poor planning to make genjutsu the potential specialty of somebody on a team with somebody whose family legacy is their good at gentsu thanks to their Kekke Genkai. Basically dooming her to either get ignored, rendered second best, or be the redundant member of the team, if he'd developed that plot point.
Though it still could have worked if he made Kakashi teach them the following
Sasuke becomes the front line fighter with ninjutsu and genjutsu.
Make Sakura the team assassin teaching her kenjutsu and genjutsu.
Have Naruto start off specializing in summoning jutsu so he could use his Uzumaki chakra pool indirectly to bypass the tailed beast getting in the way of learning ninjutsu and genjutsu. Also since he's an Uzumaki teach him some sealing jutsu, which should be easier for him to use and thus a foundation for improving chakra control. Its honestly rather shocking Kakishi never thought to take advantage of Naruto's desire to have friends as being an asset he could use to talk no jutsu summoning animals into agreeing to work with him.
Even setting aside how Kakashi didn't teach Team 7 new jutsu, he could've at least expanded on sakura's chakra control and taught her about recognising and breaking free of genjutsu. He could've taught Naruto how to effectively use his shadow clones instead of just using them for the numbers advantage.
But he did teach Sakura that she was just good at chakra control that he didn't need to constantly monitor her like he did with Naruto and Sasuke.
They never worked on core strength, strategy, throwing a proper punch, and all of that
@@njalsand133 no he just taught Naruto and Sasuke the most powerful Jutsus in there arsenal
Actually he DID teach Sakura to break genjutsu. Which is why she didn't fall under one when the Sand/Sound attacked the Leaf. He also taught Naruto how to use his clones effectively when training for Rasenshuriken.
@@ReverofEnola Should've clarified that I was referring to part 1. There was no reason Kakashi couldn't teach Naruto about clones sharing experiences.
Kakashi is a good example of how being good at something doesn't mean you will be good at teaching that thing
Chidori and helping create a new jutsu for Naruto but ok
@@lamar9616 oh wow 2 things he thought through out the WHOLE story other than wall walking and neither of them was for sakura, so kakashi was still lacking so you just prove the dude's point.
@@WiiSage obviously she's not that not much important and plus chakra control training is much more suited to her plus. And again it's Sakura not much important don't be nchammer23/Sakura fan they both suck
@@WiiSagethat's kishimoto's bad writing lmao
You nchammer fans are so wrong you all don’t know anything about naruto
Something to consider is why Kakashi was such a bad teacher, and I think the answer to that is Minato. Jiraiya said that Minato was such a prodigy he didn't really need any training, that meant Minato didn't know how to be a good teacher. Then, Minato's squad was on war time missions and frequently split up. Throw in that Minato died young and couldn't really guide Kakashi, and that even in Anbu, you had Itachi and Yamato as the closet people Kakashi might teach, and Kakashi really just had no good feedback to learn how to be a teacher from either his days as a student or a teacher. Even when he saw the rift between Sasuke and Naruto and went to Jiraiya for help, Jiraiya just said that it was no big deal and left Kakashi without any guidance.
When he tied Sasuke to the tree and basically just said "stahp it" in part 1, it was clear he didnt have a full grasp on the situation like you said. And him failing as a teacher is actually part of his arc in Shippuden by him feeling it is his responsibility to stop sasuke himself due to his failure as a sensei to effectively guide him
@@TheToby121 agreed
Exactly, Minato has a lot of explaining to do in my book. Never available at his students most dire moments.
@@boxingelfis1499 I think Minato's advice to Kakashi about chidori summed up his teaching skills. He had never seen the technique before, showing how much he wasn't close to his student. Then he gave Kakashi some quick advice that amounted to "get good", and basically told him to abandon the technique opposed to figuring out how to make it work for him.
Look at how Jiraiya praised Naruto for solving the Rasengan in a way that worked for him. Minato never would have done that.
Team 7 was his first and only team he taught. Not all that bad considering but god damn he sucked as a mentor.
Really makes you appreciate Might Guy training his team both 1-on-1 and as a team. He also specifically focused on making his students overcome their weaknesses
even having them wait a year prior to taking the exams :)
@@kuukylvrr "I don't have any right to tell you how to raise your team Kakashi but maybe you should let them enjoy their youth like I did woty mine"
@@dudejoe24 Wise words from a more experienced teacher. Kakashi probably should have listened. The Forest of Death really f'd his team up, although... to be fair... he couldn't have known how bad it would get.
funny you say that, 1 of his pupils died and the other 1 was crippled, and the surviving 1 was barely seen.
@@__-fi6xg None of which has anything to do with Gai failing as a teacher except possibly for Lee getting crippled by Gaara's sand coffin. Gai was a much better sensei than Kakashi ever was.
The moment that really sticks out to me for him being a bad sensei is not dealing with Sasuke's feeling of being weak, as of course this resulted in Sasuke leaving due to needing more power (of course this goal changes) but you get the idea. Had Kakashi monitored Sasuke better and taught him about Obito's story, another Uchiha he knew, this could've had an impact on Sasuke's early motives imo.
Not necessary. Kakashi’s personal talk with Sasuke in the forest hit home. It had Sasuke pondering his life choices for several hours. Had the sound four not intervened, Kakashi may have changed him. Point is, he did his part.
Also if he monitored him better people would just complain more about him neglecting Naruto & Sakura.
The reason Kakashi spent so much time with Sasuke was because he was monitoring him.
The only person he failed outright was Sakura. Naruto he knew had plenty of power, and was trying to drill into him discipline, which was basically impossible for anyone besides Jyriah and we saw what that entailed.
@@rrteppo They fail to realize that if Kakashi wasn’t safeguarding Sasuke, he’d have been abducted in seconds and Naruto & Sakura wouldn’t have forgiven him for it. Orochimaru & Kabuto tried to abduct him on individual occasions and both failed due to Kakashi’s protection. It took the sound four waiting for Kakashi to disappear for them to finally win Sasuke over.
I wouldn’t say he failed Sakura. It’s because of his dark Genjutsu during the bell test that she even bothered to learn how to repel Genjutsu (Chapter 116, page 17). He definitely could have taught her more but as you understand circumstances were obviously not in his favor. Knowing Orochimaru’s ambitions, he had to look out for Sasuke.
Kakashi's biggest mistake with Sasuke is that he never shared his history with him. Kakashi saw himself in Sasuke, but Sasuke didn't have the knowledge to see that parallel. He didn't know how or why Kakashi had a Sharingan, only that it pissed him off that he did. He didn't know Kakashi lost his team or how that happened. He didn't know that Kakashi was forced to kill his best friends. He didn't know Kakashi lost his family (and the prominence of his family name) or that it was instigated by the village. He didn't know that Kakashi spent nearly decade living in the darkest aspects of the ninja world. All he saw was a guy who kept his distance, was preachy, and that seemed like he stole an eye from one of Sasuke's family members.
Mentioning that Kakashi overlooking Sasuke's feeling of being weak is rich considering he completely ignored the entire team's insecurities. Naruto insecurity regarding his ignorance on how to control and or communicate with Kurama. Sakura's insecurity regarding her utility to her team. Lastly, Sasuke's insecurity regarding his lack of growth towards his goal to surpass and defeat Itachi. Kakashi was so careless as a teacher, he should have remained an anbu captain.
imo sakura would've faired better if she was under might guy. take her exceptional chakra control from an early age along with advanced taijutsu training from guy and maybe even learning the gates from him, then compound that with tsunade's training on healing and chakra enhanced strength and she could've turned out deadly. learning some basic to intermediate genjutsu's wouldn't hurt too.
100 Healings + 8th Gate would have Sakura making Pain, Madara, Kabuto, and all of the Otsotsuki looking like Rin
Guy was by far worst sensei then kakashi
He put all of his effort into one student ignored the other 2
Leading one of them to be the most useless character in the verse
And the other one is the only student that f****** died lol
That's a hard failure as a teacher
@@seanhutt4621 did you watch the video ?
@@seanhutt4621 Guy was by far one of the best senseis, regardless of his preference towards Rock Lee (who 100% needed it).
@@seanhutt4621 for most of the series team guy was the strongest groups of all the konoha chunin. Lee and neji were both monsters and ten ten was the perfect balance to support from a distance while neji and Lee kick ass. Neji was a genius and if not forgotten he'd probably had turned out stronger then Sasuke
Kurenai, Asuma and Guy were always there for their students not just training wise but also there for them in a supportive way. Hell they would even shadow them on some missions just in case they were needed.
Kakashi never wanted to become a sensei. Plus he was very awkward socially and a loner. He was supposed to be the worst in the first place. But they grew on him and you can tell. To the point of not just being their sensei but a comrade in arms equal to them!
@@TRYCLOPS1 I know he's started to care for them in the future but I meant before the time skip when he became their sensei. my point is he should've payed more attention back then to more than just Sasuke (dual loner personalities lol) but it was his job as a sensei to learn to be better. He pushed Naruto on someone else and literally disregarded Sakura while he personally trained Sasuke, thankfully those two met Jaraiya and Tsunade who turned them into the amazing ninja they are hell even Sasuke went seek out Orochimaru after a while
What's even worse was after the Sasuke vs. Naruto's rooftop fight. He questions why would Jiraiya teach Naruto such a dangerous jutsu, the Rasengan. Just the audacity, when he taught Sasuke chidori, the guy who wanted power for revenged. Meanwhile, Naruto might be a knucklehead, but his morals was in the right. He want to be stronger to be respected by everyone in the village, and to keep up with strength level. So, he has no right to question Jiraiya that time. He taught someone with a radical intention, a powerful jutsu.
Hell, that jutsu was also Naruto’s birthright since it was created by his father.
What's worse is that Chidori is literally a knockoff Rasengan, meaning that Kakashi was criticizing Jiraiya for teaching Naruto the non-failed version of the very same Jutsu that Kakashi himself taught Sasuke.
One slight disagreement Nick I truly believe when Kakashi said”everyone important is dead”he actually did get breakthrough to Sasuke the issue was that right after that speech the sound four showed up and beat the piss out of him to sway him back
Bad timing honest. But yeah maybe Kakashi could've said a little more to make sure it stuck. Hell take em on a walk. Talk feelings out. Ya know?
Yeah, that was Kakashi's big moment, but he just wasn't ready for it. Maybe he planned to talk to Sasuke about it later, but he had Sasuke's undivided attention after he said that. It seemed like he just really didn't know what to say after that. Or how to get the words out. Heck, if he had just said, "How do you think I got this eye?" After that, Sasuke would've been attached to Kakashi like a clingy girlfriend who just discovered super glue, lol. Would've also been a great chance to do the Team Minato flashback, Sasuke could've been properly kidnapped, and then intoxicated by the power released from curse mark after he got out of the box that he only left because he was literally drunk on power/hypnotized by it. So it would be less of Kakashi's failure and more of Orochimaru's cunning. Then, even after coming out of the trance, Sasuke would be too tempted by the power-ups and techniques that Orochimaru already started teaching him and he'd have already been a rogue ninja because he attacked Naruto while power-drunk/hypnotized, and like how Kakashi brought Naruto away after the battle, Sasuke could walked just a few feet away doubting himself and what he did and faint before Orochimaru himself picked up Sasuke before Kakashi arrived, or at the same time, they stared each other down before Orochimaru disappears with Sasuke and Kakashi can't pursue because he has to save Naruto.
Just some slight differences that I think would've gone a long way for Kakashi's character, and maybe even Sasuke's a bit
@@Chronoflation W take
I actually agree.
To add to this, Sasuke hesitated when Sakura said she'd help him get revenge if it helped him stay in the village. He didn't think what he was doing was the right path, it was just the only path he could envision for himself. He didn't want Sakura or any of his friends to follow him into that darkness.
@Tyr Something we could have had is Kakashi going to show Sasuke the tomb of Obito, Rin and his Father and while off-screen, having explained.
Like this, for example, cut back to Kakashi and Sasuke in front of the monument with the name of the shinobi that died for the leaf, to make it even clearer that yeah, Kakashi's loved one(s) died FOR the leaf. It may even bring the whole, Sasuke wondering what a village truly is, from much longer roots, upon seeing the personnal cost it takes, all the lives that died. Plus, I doubt Obito was the only Uchiha whose name was wrote there, so bonus point, have Sasuke either search how those had died, since they are distant relatives, poking a small curiosity for the lives of distant cousins, or just... have a scene where Sasuke sees Obito's name and learns from Kakashi they were teammates.
Because, the moent you hear "Kakashi was on the same team as a now dead member of the Uchiha" you can click. That the sharigan, is the eye of his dead friend. A friend he may feel he failed to save. Not even showing us flasbacks, just a subtext implication. Because, Sasuke is no idiot, he would likely piece this together.
The best thing about Kakashi's peers when it comes to their mentor-ships in part 1 is that all of their students all got clear development in some way, yet the audience sees very little of it besides a select few instances, mostly during the chunin exam fights. Yet, it's still rather believable and safe to assume that most of their development came from their teachers. Meanwhile team 7 is the team the audience spends the most time with and yet they feel like they receive the least amount of development from their teacher. They do develop, of course, but most of that development often feels like stuff they came up with on their own or shit they made up on the fly as oppose to any really, considerable input from their teacher. The prelim fight arc in particular is always interesting to me for this reason. Every other teacher during those fights usually displays very intimate knowledge about their student's strengths and weaknesses during their respective fights, at least everyone except for Kakashi, who, during those fights often acts as in info dump, knowing more about ANOTHER student's techniques than his own students.
Kakashi L moment
The only thing he knows about his students
1 . Sasuke is a genius with all seeing eyes
2. Naruto has great chakra reserve and nine tails but stupid
3. Sakura has some good chakra control but who cares😂😂
Let's not forget that Gai tried to teach his whole team the Eight Gate Release but only Lee was able to do it.
I blame the 3rd Hokage for assigning Kakashi this team knowing damn well he couldn't just fail them since it's his dead best friend's cousin and his dead teacher's son. He needed therapy ages ago but he got assigned to train his deceased loved ones' family members into child soldiers
lmao
U making it sound worse than it acc is. Naruto has no resemblance to Minato apart from his hair and eyes, and Sasuke's also nothing like Obito apart from sharing a clan. And who'd care about child soldiers in this show when everyone is one.
Bro Kakashi was the perfect match for them! Are you kidding me? Only sharingan user. Highest skilled junnin as well in the entire village. Also, only one who would focus on the most important thing they needed to learn: work as a team! Also he was the only surviving student of the 4th, so knew the deal. More than a sensei, it was really a mission to watch over the jinchuriki and the last uchiha. Sakura was probably put in there because of her good grades on paper and nothing else… or maybe it showed the 3rd that she was medical ninja material. Fact is he knew more than anyone and made the best decision as the 4 of them working together helped save the world in the end. It would’ve never been possible without the 4 working together as a team, ironically. So you gotta give more credit to the 4th. Just because he lost his life to Orochimaru… due to the fact he summon Hashirama and The second hokages??? Most unfair fight ever tho. But yea guy did the best he could with options available. But you gotta see it from a different point of view outside the box.
I’ve been saying this for ages. I adore Kakashi but I agree he was an absolute disaster of a sensei . When ever I’m asked I chose Gai to be my sensei at least he’d train me even if he focused on Lee. He also treats his team like actual children.
lol he does. and i think it’s adorable. lol
Gai is a 10/10. He even has Neji's respect, and that dude has 0 patience.
Kakashi has an entire backlog of jutsu to teach his students but does absolutely nothing lol. I blame Sakura being useless entirely on him. Kakashi should be a cheat code. Instead Guy sensei is the cheat code
I think Kureinai was the best. She was given the most diverse team and none of them were good at Genjutsu. Yet she basically raised Hinata like a child and saw all of them basically as her kids. We see multiple flashback of her simply spending quality time with them, taking them out for drinks and loving them. Something we never saw Kakashi do, yet she did it constantly.
Shino never lost a battle until he fought Super Sage Mode Mitsuki and even then he said he didn't go all out not to kill Mitsuki. Shino became an Academy Teacher.
Kiba is basically a super star in the Village. Still going on Jonin missions, has the biggest Dog Center and own brand of food and toys.
She turned Hinata from somebody who was scared to talk to someone who jumped in front of Pain, and later even went against Momoshiki and Kinshiki to save Naruto.
@@beresarmand6058 I honestly think that kiba and Sakura should have been exchanged lol
"Sometimes the best way to help yourself is to help someone else" fits really well here... or at least would have if Kakashi actually did something with those kids xD
How about keeping them alive during the zabusa mission? If it wasn’t for him they’d be dead.
I'm currently watching Naruto(at ep 16) and I've kind of noticed this already with the fact that he just left Sakura to do completely nothing while Sasuke and Naruto train. He himself states that Sasuke and Naruto have some amazing potential and completely ignores Sakura, and when she had an opportunity to learn more he just lays back and keeps paying attention to the students that intrests him. I'm still keeping in mind that I've only watched a tiny portion of the series but yeah.(also is Sakura gonna do anything? She's stood still for the past 16 episodes)
Hiruzen forced Kakashi into teaching to regain his humanity. Protecting Naruto could help him overcome failing to protect Kushina and Minato. I imagine Hiruzen thought that Kakashi having a Sharingan would benefit both Sasuke and Kakashi for having lost their families. In Kakashi's defense, aside from her parents, Naruto is pretty much the only one who hasn't abandoned Sakura at some point. Ino briefly abandoned her when they were children, and even Naruto called her out on her lie.
Wouldn't have been the first time the old man, ironically, didn't see the forest for the trees.
Hiruzen hoped that it would work and it did, just not right away
Sakura's parents bullied her in the genjutsu world movie.
@alex52043 at least Sakura had parents
Now I'd like to know - how would it have gone if Kakashi actually trained them seriously and truly made them into the Team 7 we all imagined
Team 7 would be OP or at least kinda close to it. Even if we take away Shadow Clone Training because that came way later, Naruto IS a fast learner with the right motivation. Sakura also just needs the right motivation and Sasuke is a nutjob when it comes to training anyway.
That scene of Kakashi talking to Sasuke while the was tied up in the tree never sat right with me. All other sensei were like parental figures and highly respected by the kids, but Kakashi was never able to connect with any of the kids in his team. He lost everyone, I know but so did Sasuke and Naruto and still Kakashi wasn't capable to relate to their pain. And Sakura wasn't even in his radar.
He is the best character but has flaws himself, He is emotionally unavailable. He never married nor had any kids... He was this prodigy in such a young age and sasuke was the only one he was interested in to train... but after all that trauma he just couldn't emotionally connect with anyone on a deeper level. I mean I am on the 95th episode so what do I know 😅
I would also like to add that Sakura had an affinity for earth style jutsu, and Kakashi had a least two know earth style Justu’s (Head hunter and earth wall) during part 1 he could’ve taught her
This is very similar to how in dragon ball, Goku knows spirit bomb, and kaioken and never bothers to teach anyone else these techniques. All those abilities he did know could help the z fighters so much, but ended up leaving them in the dust. Hell, even just the kaioken for Gohan with potential unleashed or his beast mode would of been amazing. Spirit bomb would of been amazing to have, Vegeta's new techniques would help the other z fights so much more. It's a shame.
If I'm not wrong all of those who died before Goku arrived to fight Nappa learnt kaioken when they met north kaio
@@IdaraFeka King Kai didn’t teach any of them the Kaioken, mainly the others outside of Piccolo were probably too weak and it would have been broken on Piccolo
@@PumaPants248 oh yeah? well it's been a while since I watched that saga. Probably should do it
@@IdaraFeka Imagine Kaioken with Namekian regeneration though, the show would have been called Piccolo after that
@@PumaPants248 omg yes. piccolo would be skipping right to buu no need to worry about the others💀
Man you are spitting nothing but facts. I’ve said many times that if Kakashi actually told Sasuke his life story and the lessons he has learned from his experiences, I really feel like he would have been able to get through to Sasuke. This includes how he got his sharingan and what it symbolises for him, the fact that he actually worked alongside Itachi in the anbu just to show that he has a personal investment in Sasuke’s wellbeing etc. There is so much Sasuke wouldn’t know about his clan so even hearing stories about other members would solidify their relationship as sensei and student.
Even if he can’t stop Sasuke from pursuing Itachi, he should have at least been able to keep him in the village (yes I know that the curse mark made Sasuke more subservient to the will of Orochimaru, but it’s unclear how much of an impact that really had given that Kakashi had partially sealed it away. I think it’s pretty clear that meeting Itachi again was the main reason he sought Orochimaru out after seeing the power disparity.
Likewise with Naruto, I really think Naruto would have benefitted from knowing Kakashi’s life story, including the fact that his sensei, the 4th Hokage, is Naruto’s father. Re-assure Naruto that he is capable of achieving his dream if he remembers what’s important, and then teaches him a variety of useful jutsu including changes in chakra nature; him not knowing that until shippuden is criminal. It’s also kinda wild that Kakashi knew the rasengan the whole time and never used it, nor thought it would be a good jutsu to teach, yes it’s pretty advanced, but there’s no harm in demonstrating it to give Naruto something to focus towards.
And finally Sakura. Teach her ANYTHING. Any kind of offensive jutsu would be nice. Maybe tell her details about Naruto and Sasuke to help her understanfing the burdens they hold. She came from a non-shinobi, 2 parent household, and it clearly made her incapable of understanding the cutthroat nature of the world she was stepping into. Just do way more to guide her growth as a kunoichi.
In terms of combat, he is probably the most consistently impressive jonin across naruto. But as a sensei, bottom tier.
Kakashi was incredibly close to Minato so close that not only could he have been a mentor to Naruto but a older brother figure, instead he had little to no interaction until he became his pupil only by force of Hiruzen and Guy by proxy, would’ve given them both a family and someone to learn and bounce of emotionally
17:52 That ramen guy was absolutely in the running to walk Naruto down the aisle at his wedding.
Fairly late, but I think the issue was that kakashi was always a loner and just expected them to improve on their own. He lacked the social skills, team work. Understanding of development that the other team leaders gained through their normal every day lives by understand their teams weaknesses and strengths. I feel like kishimoto was just unaware of how to show the education so it got off screened.
I agree he's a bad teacher, but there's an in-universe reason. Team 7 was literally his first team of Genin, he had no experience actually teaching prior.
Though he's also the person who failed every prior team, so he had plenty of chances to get experience prior but turned them down at every chance...
That is kinda true but i don't think you need any extra experience, if you have a 3 men squad then i think it's pretty clear you should teach each of them at least something.
@@richmaxmchalliwchester1984 Exactly.
Kakashit didn't need no experience to teach a ninja prodigy in chakra control a at least a few jutsus .
Idk if it's right to blame Kakashi for Sasuke leaving the village. I think Kakashi was trying to help Sasuke with his own experiences in mind, and never in Kakashi's mind did he ever think to leave the Leaf Village. I think Kakashi may have felt that was an extreme that Sasuke wouldn't take. The other thing that isn't considered in this video is that after Orochimaru's invasion and the death of Hiruzen, the village was short on elite ninja staff, so Kakashi was going on other missions on behalf of the village at this time on top of his duties as a sensei, and as the strongest non-Anbu Jonin in the village with a specialty in tracking, Kakashi was probably sent on several A-class or S-class missions by himself. Now, Sakura's state going into the Chunin exams was 100% Kakashi's fault.
Yes, I also don't think Kakashi should be blamed for Sasuke leaving the village. Itachi would do anything like literally anything to grow Sasuke's Sharingan. And, that much hatred would eventually let Sasuke find Orochimaru for power. There was nothing Kakashi could've done here unless he could directly make Sasuke stronger than Itachi which was impossible.
Am pretty sure his the strongest jonin period
@@Redirectingtosomeonewhocares That depends on if we consider the Sannin as Jonin or not. The Sannin are not kages (well until Tsunade becomes hokage), but if the Sannin count as elite Jonin of the leaf, Jiraya could definitely defeat Kakashi. Otherwise, yes Kakashi is probably the strongest Jonin in the world at that point.
@@Mixman86Page see, this is something that has always bothered me. Kakashi was jonin at age 12. Then he joined anbu. Kakashi IS just as powerful off screen as the sannin. His father was the same. Yet onscreen kishimoto nerfs him to make others look good.
Kakashi should not have lost to Itachi. He was never weaker than him. Zabuza fought a full jinjuriki and lived plus he escaped all the loyal ninja going after him. Zabuza was extremely powerful. Zabuza didn't have a partner when he attacked Yagura.
Kakashi was able to stand up against him.
The Akatsuki (including Itachi) all have pairs to go after the jinjuriki. And I'm supposed to believe that Itachi is more powerful than Kakashi? Give me a break.
Naruto wanting the Ramen guy to be his dad at the wedding is hilarious😂😂😂
But I can see Naruto choosing him over Kakashi.
Kakashi really let his untrained genin take the chuunin exams. Left to the wolves. Probably the most irresponsible thing he did.
Oh and encouraging the rivalary between the two Tyke bombs was fricking brilliant too
Great analysis over all, I just have a few objections. First, the tree climbing exercise allowed Sakura to hold her own against Ino, by making her use chakra to boost her speed in combination with her clones. It is also a great exercise to teach Naruto as he struggles with the basics.
When it comes to Naruto, he correctly identified that his biggest source of motivation was his rivalry with Sasuke and used it several times to fuel Naruto's growth to great effect.
Kakashi did not simply teach Sasuke the chidori because of favoritism. He correctly identified that Sasuke would be drawn to the power of the curse mark and that he needed to teach him something big to convince him to rely only on his own strength.
Also, his speech to Sasuke seemed fairly effective and letting him on his own to reflect on it was the correct strategy, he was just unfortunate that the sound 4 screwed everything up.
The comparison to Guy's team is unfair. Neji was not convinced by Guy, but mostly by a combination of Naruto and his father's letter. Sure, Guy taught more to his team than Kakashi did, but he had a full year of relative quiet with normal missions to teach them in ideal circumstances. Kakashi had almost no time before the chunin exam, and he spent a lot of that time recovering in bed. After the exam and the attack on the village, he was on important missions all the time. Then, his pupils just left, so it's not like he had a lot of time to teach them.
Basically, he sure could have done a much better job, but there are a few attenuating factors
Im not here to respond to the other info u put down but specifically the speech, kakashi was 100% wrong in what he did only good thing was his original intention, lets dissect
He scolded Sasuke for using a jutsu of killing intent yet naruto did the same and kakashi said nothing, He said forget about revenge which is actually a really brain dead and ignorant statement, in general but especially someone damaged and justified like sasuke, makes everything all that worse, then didn't really relate to sasuke all he said is he lost people, doesn't make things better, sasuke didn't just lose people its how he lost them, to his brother, his brother thats still alive and tortured sasuke a second time, sasuke saw itachi not just as someone he needs to get revenge on but also as a threat, clearly the leaf are usleess, Sasuke probably expected itachi to come back for round 3, then the curse mark thats just hindering sasukes abilities, kakashis only idea was seal and restrain it which is pointless, ankos a trash ninja with a restrained curse mark that hinders her why would sasuke wanna be that, only option was orochimaru, jiraya is stronger than orochimaru, they easily coulda set up SOME typa meetup for a solution on this curse mark, orochimaru even made a deal with tsunade for healing his arms, kakashi doesn't even teach sasuke other copied jutsus, rock lees kick is something he did before the training and then all he did was i guess copy rock lees speed during the training which isn't even Kakashis idea, anyways so not only is kakashis talk brain dead, the sound 4 jump and beat sasuke and even they are more convincing than kakashi, that should tell you enough, if kakashis conversation was actually not stupid, then sasuke woulda just saw the sound 4, as these punks who are slaves to orochimaru, he woulda yelled so kakashi can save him, but he was quite and related to them, and saw them as people who took advantage of orochimaru, kakashi failed as a sensei, even someone like might guy who has no jutsu, if sasuke was under him in part 1 with mastery of hidden gates and the high speed, sasuke would be insane plus the sharingan, even jiraya would be a better teacher
@@IIIISaieh naruto was going for the kill Sasuke was
Exactly! Kakashi wasn’t just in charge of them. He was also probably the #1 junnin of the entire village and had to do a lot of overtime. Being in charge of those 3 was more like a special mission than just becoming their sensei. The villages jinchuriki plus the last uchiha promising to be as good as Itachi, plus the most skilled at chakra control student on paper… seems to me that it was a special mission more than a random daily assignment. Too many things at stake. Plus no time for rest.
Also remember that Naruto had that seal and couldn’t really control his chakra until Jiraiya removed it! So trying to teach him a lot of jutsu was probably not easy.
I think the curse mark had a lot to do with sasukes eagerness to leave for more power. You could say that was Kakashi’s fault for letting Sasuke into the chunin exams but that wouldn’t be right because Sasuke was in fact ready for it and it’s not his fault Orochimaru showed up. Nobody knew if I’m remembering correctly that he was there yet .
anko didn't go rogue cuz the curse mark same applies to sasuke, kakashi was just bad at being a good teacher and understanding what sasuke was feeling
@@IIIISai Wrong. Anko didnt go rogue because she isn’t the same type of person as Sasuke. Sasuke was very eager for more power so he could kill itachi and ambitious the curse mark brought that out of Sasuke. The curse mark doesn’t have the exact same effect on everybody.
@@IIIISai He understood exactly what Sasuke was feeling and he couldn’t have told Sasuke anything better than what he did that day in the forest. Only thing he could’ve done was take him down by force and that can’t happen because the story has to progress.
@@jason15212 oh brother, I agree Savin sasuke makes the story not progress but they coulda handled it differently , they coulda had Kakashi with better dialogue, be more understanding, something along the lines of this " Listen Sasuke, Im sorry I neglected you and naruto and even sakura, But i never knew your rivalry stemmed this far, you guys would have blown eachother to bits but atleast naruto has kuruma to heal himself but you wouldn't be hear right now, I haven't taught u much outside of chidori and I understand why you would feel inferior to Naruto right now, but those blasts u see in the water tower, don't prove Naruto is stronger than u, his jutsu focuses on size while yours focuses on precision, and the only reason I'm tying u up right now is because I need to tell u something I should've done before ", Kakashi proceeeds to conversate and have a heart to heart with sasuke, after this he takes him to the ramen shop, he makes up for the neglect she shows sasuke and says he'll do the same for Naruto, but for now he spends time with jiraya, he also brings sakura along, kakashi says he'll talk to naruto and be gone for a minute and this gives sasuke and sakura time to bond outside of missions, where they can be intimate and nothing romantic i mean as comrades and friends, sasuke tells her why he's feeling this way and his history, and sakura tells her and why she behaves the way she does, as for the kakashi talking to naruto it'll be similar to him talking to sasuke, so i wont explain everything, eventually he'll ask jiraya if he can borrow naruto and he'll say sure, so now team 7 is at the ramen shop together, they bond, now u might ask oh wait so this happy ending why would sasuke wanna leave now, it's because it gets late and they all part ways, and sasukes house is the farthest ofc, kakashi even asks sasuke should i walk u home and he says no, so as sasukes walking home after 2mins or whatever far enough distance, an arm covers his mouth and he gets kidnapped and revealed in a location maybe 3mins away, basically similar to how sound 4 jumped him, then they'll explain why he should go with orochimaru like the original story, but this time sasukes even more hostile and at the end they can't convince him, but they tell him they'll comeback in a week to see if he changes his mind, reason why they dont steal him Is cuz orochimaru said make sure sasuke is willingly coming do he can control him, during the week Sasuke keeps getting visions of his brother and his curse mark is acting up, he tries using jutsus and they strain him and he has to go to the hospital again, so for a week sasuke can't even use jutsu while he sees kakashi training team 7 without him, this causes Sasuke deep pain but he won't say anything because he doesn't want to ruin the vibe, anyways eventually the sound 4 come and jump him again but hes at the same location, they jump him to test him a second time but hes weak and can't use any jutsu, so now that sasukes vulnerable they take advantage and try manipluating him but this time sasukes more hesitant but he eventually gives in and they tell him they can fix his curse mark problem with a pill theh have, see there u go I made a fix to Kakashis dialogue and Sasuke still goes rouge but now it's even harder hitting and I didn't mean to write so long though and I do agree with u that anko had different circumstances
kakashi got the saddest life happenings in naruto but still he was never corrupted.
He did get corrupted, he killed a lot of people even if they forfeited
Not even close . Kimimaro, Itachi, Gaara, Tsunade, Sasuke, Karin and Nagato had it worse than him.
naruto had it worse
@@alex47775 L
He had the worst life followed by Gaara,Naruto,Itachi and then Konan....
@@KrishSingh-wd2yn As expected from a Kakashi fanboy simp .
Considering he knows the Shadow clone Jutsu, he really has no excuse. He could have spared a clone or two to give the training Sakura and Naruto needed. Even at low chakra in the waves mission, he was able to produce around 10 no problem. The Show even points out the Jutsu in question is great for doing different things at the same time with a good example is in SHippuden. When Naruto commented about Looking left and right at the same time, he simply used a shadow clone to point out how it's possible. This gave him the opportunity to give all three personal instruction if he really didn't feel like giving group training.
This reminds me of a saying along the lines of a great player isn't always a great coach.
I really enjoy the spotlight this video put on Asuma though, that he not only instilled lessons to make his students better shinobi, but lessons to make them better people.
0:04 - Consistently in the top three.... shown in 5th position!!!! >XD
I got to disagree that the other teachers did any better than Kakashi in preparing their students the chunin exams. Most of the other Konoha 12 sololy used their clan jutsus and tactics. The closest to preparing the students was Guy and even that is lacking. That is mostly because of the work he did with Lee teaching him iron fist style and 8 gates and giving his team an extra year to grow. He did next to nothing for Tenten besides teaching her the sealing stuff for her weapon. Throwing accuracy was something taught at the academy.
Bro he gave trained every one ,that's why it took one year ,it's true rest of them used Thier clan justu ,but kakashi can teach sasuake how to use his eyes or they shown us kakashi trains his team ,he didn't trained them based on what they are good like other did ,he did a great job in helping Naruto to create wind style rasgegan only if he did it earlier
@@yathishb7954 I was talking about the Chuunin exam prep so the wind style rasengan has no value. Kakashi only trained Sasuke for this event. My point the only konoha jounin that trained his students for the exam was Guy. And he only barely did anything that would be noticeable from stuff they could learn from the academy. That would be sealing weapons (Assuming this couldn't me learn from the academy.) for Tenten and the taijutsu style for Lee.
@@ExodaCrown yea it's seems kakashi never thought anything to his squad
Kakashi would honestly be right at home as a proctor with the likes of Ibiki or Anko. None of them really have what it takes to connect with young students especially on an emotional level, but they wouldn’t need to do that as examiners. I honestly didn’t think we’d see Kakashi much again after the bell test when I first watched the series, and I was just as surprised as team 7 to see him made their sensei.
Hot take: By Kakashi teaching team 7 very little gave them the drive to seek other sensei, something that LITERALLY NO OTHER NINJA of their generation did due to feeling adequately prepared.
The philosophy being that a struggle to clear basic hurdles (example with Lee), gives those who manage to clear them a greater deal of growth than those who have always been prepared for said obstacle.
Not excusing what he did, of course it's a plot device, but I'm thinking in terms of the chain of events. I mean, imaging what would happen if Kakashi had done his job perfectly.
Kakashi is my favorite character but I totally agree with everything in this video
Yes, Tsunade and Jiraya waren't even official sensei, but they still teached more to Sakura and Naruto, than Kakashi ever did to the entire team 7 .
No you're right pre chunin exam Kakashi didn't really teach them. He only really taught the squad the basics of teamwork and basic chakra control how to climb trees with their feet. He spent time with Sasuke during the chunin exam cause of the curse mark and to teach him chidori.
Kakashi lost all 3 of his students to the Legendary Sanin due to neglecting them.
in my head, nick listens to the music that he puts into his video while speaking haha
To be honest, having to be the sensei of the Uchiha survivor, full of hatred and the Kyuubi jinchuuriki is a lot for one person to deal with.
Blah blah let’s not make excuses or kakshi’s failure as a teacher
@@cashcow4450 fax
@@cashcow4450 Fax
I just realized that Kakashi did one thing really well that the sanin themselves couldn’t do: he created a cohesive unit. He taught them how to be a team. Granted, Sasuke left, but he left while still loving team 7. And when he did come back during the war arc, he knew how to work in tandem with them like he had never left. The sanin were all scattered, they didn’t know where the other one were, and they hardly seemed to get along. They couldn’t have instilled that principle even if they tried.
I disagree, cohesion is the bare minimum for a teacher, and naruto and sasuke had a natural ability to work together, vs zabuza for example, all kakashi taught was some lame bell test, also the sannin had different morals and lifestyles but if they wanted they can work together easy, in the war arc the team 7 are working together with SANNIN summons and skillsets
People fail to realize is that was Kakashi’s main goal as a teacher
Thank you! You get it! I’m not alone lol. Also Kakashi became part of the team, a comrade in arms, more than just their sensei. Notice how the 4 of them defeat Madara and Kaguya in the end working as a team! Teams were supposed to be in groups of 3, with the junnin only helping them to gain experience on missions. But Kakashi became an equal to them and a team of 4 with them. Naruto is such a great story lol
He taught them how to be a team? He told them once not to abandon friends, and then ? Sasuke thought he was better than the other two, Sakura ridiculing Naruto... That looks like a cohesive team ?? Ino-Shika-Cho was THE most cohesive team; Ino , who was too full of herself, Shikamaru who was too lazy , Choji with bad inferiority issues went on to become the most effective ambush unit and love and care for each other above everything else ! That's what a cohesive unit looks like . Jiraiya always taught Naruto compassion and not to give up on people, Tsunade taught Sakura to care about others in a more hands-on approach; getting her ass down and care for sick people. And three years later Naruto and Sakura reunited and their communication was so damn good that they didn't even have to put on any more work in being a unit .
@@subratanandy2142 valid argument. But my argument against that is that Kakashi wasn’t really a sensei. He was assigned as their sensei but more as a mission in a sense, to keep them alive and sort of watch over them. And later he was more as an equal to them than really a sensei. He also could’ve not let Naruto go try to find Sasuke ever. But he even went with him. He supported Naruto even when he thought Naruto was wrong and naive. Like when he went with Naruto to plead to the 5 kage summit for Sasuke. He was personally and rationally against it but he still went with him. Because he believed in Naruto… even more than his own reason to a point. He was more than a sensei. He became like their family and true ride or die friend. And the 4 of them finished the fight to save the world. The 4 of them are legends.
Nick I love you man😂😂😂 Kakashi did the opposite of teachers that go to hood schools to help the underprivileged..he literally said “ok…come on” 😂😂😂
Another thing one should look at is when he taught treewalking, he taught it during the first mission outside of the village, but that seems like a very basic skill (basic enough that I'm surprised it's not taught in the academy) and something that didn't need much time to teach. It should have been something he should have shown on the first day and tell them to preactice it on their own after they did their missions for the day.
By the time they left for Wave, they probably could have already started with water walking and he could have done everything else the exact same way he did in canon.
Quite frankly during the mission was probably a horrible time to teach tree walking, even if they expected Zabuza to be out for a few days, they still should have expected others to be sent after the bridge builder, that's not exactly the time where Sasuke and Naruto should have done exercises that left them rather exhausted each day.
I'm trying to think of more things Kakashi could do... but it seems like he only really had time to take them on missions. Sakura could sit along and learn how to report the missions and learn the administrative processes of a Jounin or get her on a training program. Meanwhile, Sasuke and Naruto already had their training programs but could try to learn new jutsus between missions. They could even start sparring against each other like Neji and Lee did.
Just because we did not see them train together does not mean they did not. You think they were sitting around the grass?
@@gokuson2778 We know Naruto and Sasuke always bickered before their A-rank mission. When they got back, it only got worse. It's very safe to say they never practiced together. Considering Genin missions aren't fight-based, we can assume they didn't do any significant sparring.
look at kurenai she was an expert in genjutsu but in her team she has a hijuga , a man who fight with bugs and a man who fight with taijustu and dogs and still trained them all and none of them ever used genjutsus
Kakashi should have been more instrumental in naruto life he was his sensei's kid, by training him and making him stronger he could have fulfilled his promise to protect kushina
It's weird that hinata doesn't know genjutus. The bygaun works great with genjutus
@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl genjutsu Is more a sharingan field, sadly in the anime and manga the biakugan Is kinda an offbrand version of the sharingan
I mean, he had 1 arch to train team 7 as a team. and in that 1 arch his method of pitching sasuke and naruto against each other for chakra control tree climbing actually did work. And he did teach them the value of teamwork as well in their initiation. Think the real problem is that the chunin exams is the point of no return naritively with sasukes curse mark and his need for more power. This nessicarily has to lead directly i to his confrontation with Itachi, at wich point hes in a comma until he leaves the leaf villiage. And there is nothing between the labd of waves and chunin exams as a buffer period where team 7 can just be team 7.
idk, if saying Kakashi is a bad coach is all that accurate, since the times we do see him taking a teaching roll, he DOES get results.
-team 7 initiation for teamwork
-chakra control for tree climbing
-chidori for sasuke and sharingan training
-development of Naruto’s
While Naruto and Sasuke are trying to climb the tree for like weeks, Sakura is left alone to do NOTHING. Like Kakashi could have perfectly teach her some genjutsu (since he thought she was a genjutsu type) and then she could have used it against Zabuza/Haku or in the chunin exams, where instead she does nothing
I think Kakashi was a good "starter" sensei lol. But I agree with your assessment that he didn't really develop his students' as fully formed ninja, in different regards. The most obvious instance is with Sasuke; as you mentioned, he turned Sasuke into a more dangerous person by teaching him chidori; rather than potentially heading off Sasuke's grab for power by going rogue. As for Sakura, I always thought it was weird that she was never instructed in genjutsu, but then again, Kakashi was never really interested in her anyway. He also definitely could've worked on giving her actual combat abilities (abilities that wouldn't have relied so much on evasion, which while helpful for her role as a medical ninja, which was to stay alive. In situations where Sakura chose to take the offensive, she wasn't prepared and was quickly countered. During the fight with the Hidden Cloud Nin in Shippuden and the Fourth Great War Arc when she tried to attack Madara, after Kakashi talked about his infallible skill of team work). Which also would've addressed Sakura's emotional desire to not be a burden to either of her teammates, and wouldn't have made her as helpless during the Sasuke Retrieval Arc. And lastly, Naruto. I feel like there's a lot of development that just didn't happen between Naruto and Kakashi, especially emotionally. Naruto was a kid that for all of younger years, pre shinobi academy was an outcast with no rhyme or reason and then he finally gets a sensei in Iruka who had a connection to him (I believe Iruka's parents were killed during Nine Tail's attack on the village). Not only that, but then he gets Kakashi, this weird dude, who knows a whole lot about Naruto and where he came from, his past etc. (like everybody in the village who were shinobi during Minato's Hokage days). Moreover, while Naruto may not have had the visual prowess of the sharingan or as great of Chakra control as Sakura, he had so much more Chakra (from being an Uzumaki and the Nine Tails' Jinjuriki). So many jutsu that Naruto could've been taught. But with Naruto, Kakashi spilling the beans on his past, wouldn't have made for an entertaining and worthwhile story; so I digress.
I think Kakashi as you said is an example of a good person, put in a tough situation, and not equipped particularly with the soft skills necessary to do the job effectively.
In summation, great video, and this is all the more reason why Jonin need training in child & adolescent development to understand the kids they are teaching. Also more mental health resources for struggling Ninja, a theme I think you linked rather well between your ad and Kakashi's real struggles with his guilt over everyone he failed to protect. Amazing video! 👏
I always felt like Team 7 would have been better with other teachers, even wondering what would have happened if they failed the initial bell test. I doubt all the students Kakashi failed before simply had their whole shinobi careers be over just like that, and even if so the higher-ups wouldn't want to waste the village's last Uchiha.
Imagine if after getting flunked by Kakashi and learning the lesson on teamwork and unity after the fact, Naruto convinces the other two to stick with him as their own team anyway and try to teach themselves unofficially. They try to do their own research, get pointers from the other genin teams and start experimenting with new and creative uses of jutsus that no one else thought of. They may even attract new and better mentors to guide them to unlock further potential.
Aight the part where you said “he probably would’ve brought the ramen guy” got me lol
We could say that during times of war or a lack of peace forced these Genin to continue taking on missions that were above their class also meant they were working overtime on these missions leaving little time for anything more than gaining experience. They also didn’t have much time between graduating the academy and the chunin exams. When would he have taught them?
I agree that he was a weak Sensei but I do kinda think he never intended for Team 7 to actually pass the Chunin Exams the first time. I think he wanted them to experience it to get a taste of war and then was going to up their training after. Then Orichimaru happened and everything basically changed.
Id argue that knowing he couldn't give his student's everything they needed to become the best they can be, he entrusted their later development to other teachers more suited after he imparted core values in them of team work, putting your friends and loved one's above the mission if possible and the ability to learn for oneself and from others
I get that, but it’s more of Kishimoto being more focused on the plot than actually developing Kakashi to be a good Sensai for all 3.
@@Mono_303 yh that also but core values can't be understated. Tbf non of the sensei really did well for the whole team, just means its hard for kishimoto to write a good teacher for 3 separate, totally different minded characters.
You can't argue that because it wasn't Kakashi decision for any of them to leave jaraiya decided he had to teach naruto to learn how to control his nine tails Chakra Sakura decided she wanted to train with sunade so she wouldn't be useless anymore and Sasuke left because orochimaru put a curse mark on him
He didn't entrust anyone to their respective senseis(sannin). Sakura went to Tsunade on her own, Jiraiya took Naruto on his own and Sasuke went to Orochimaru
@@user-ov1lq8sp6i yh but kakashi, encouraged it and still gave them his blessing to go (accept sasuke lol) he also had the hardest kid to deal with in sasuke he was NEVER gonna stay in the village or be a good student to anyone. Team 7 needed those specific teachers to reach their levels but without the foundation that kakashi instilled, they might not of achieved the things they did or have the bonds they had (maybe not sasuke lol)
I like to think that the main reason Kakashi was a bad sensei is because he expected his students to be ambitious and motivated enough to progress on their own. Being the son of someone like the White Fang, it makes sense that he would hold others to higher standards and aspirations than they hold themselves to (like we saw in the episodes when him and Obito were young).
Kakashi needed a therapist. He didn't know how to emote or connect to anyone. He just did his job minimally. His smartest move was sending Naruto to another teacher. He knew he wasn't the best at it.
He also didn't really care about anyone on his team cuz he was emotionally dead. That much is consistent in the story.
Also he doesn't use genjutsu. Sharingan shreds his chakra or something. In that regard, danzo was like a nut. He probably couldn't teach it to Sakura. Her fundamentals were fine. She was going to be a fine shinobi anyway. She just didn't have a thing yet.
Finally someone spoke about kakashi being a bad teacher, i do recognize him as a cool character and a strong one. But i never liked him.. Not that i hated him but i just didnt like him. And the reason is because i was invested in naruto growth in the anime and i was furious that kakashi wasnt in his life.. Naruto was always alone.. When jirayia died everyone started caring about naruto mental health but still kakashi didnt really step up in helping naruto grow and prepare him (emotionally and physically for the potential fights with pain) he just kept disappearing instead of staying with naruto(he can protect and train naruto at the same time) he was the only one who can keep him safe. Naruto as the ten tails vessel and konoha bigest weapon didnt get the proper training from the village LEADERS. Its like they kept him as stray dog
Idk about this one boss. Naruto went with his “Godfather” basically, I feel that was always going to be the case especially with him needing to learn to control the nine tails. Sasuke left on his own fruition to become stronger, faster because he was impatient. Sakura had no choice but to seek another Sensei in the time they were gone. And she chose a hell of a sensei
I dont mind team 7 looking for other senseis, but not teaching Sakura anything while she was his genin and then sending her to the chunin exams is wild
No, but a story about kakashi actually conecting with sasuke and at the same time healing himself would've been extremely intresting to watch
14:35. Sasuke and Rock Lee did fight pre-shippuden… right before the chuunin exams, Rock Lee challenges Sasuke to a fight and beats him easily
Team 7's first real mission where they had to protect the bridge builder and fought Zabuza should've been a true wake up call for him. Over both fights we saw that Sasuke was carrying the team, Naruto was having issues controlling the nine tails and Sakura was genuinely dead weight to the point where Sasuke and Naruto had to protect her as well as the bridge builder. They got extremely lucky in the chunin exams with Orochimaru wanting Sasuke alive and sparing them, Sasuke's curse mark activating when Sakura 'fought' the sound ninja and that they never encountered Gaara throughout the exam. If all of team decided to stay with Kakashi, Sakura would've died on a mission, Naruto may have been captured by the Akatsuki and Orochimaru would've taken Sasuke's body (no homo).
'Kakashi lost everyone important to him' WHY DOES EVERYONE FORGET GAI??!! Seriously this man is the only reason Kakashi didn't go out the way Sakumo did.
Small correctio; Lee didn't come from a clan either.
Lee is from a different class. They're older.
I also just want to bring up that not only did they decide to put the trauma-matured killing machine into a teaching role, but they also decided that he should be the one teaching the last reamining Ushiha, a boy filled with maybe more hatred than Kakashi, and the LIVING NUKE which has almost only ever experienced hatred.
Putting Naruto and Sasuke in one team is a stupid enough decision, but assigning Kakshi out of all people makes me believe that the idea here was that Hiruzen WANTED Sasuke and Naruto to fail as Kakashi usually fails his students. He thew in Sakura because she's from a nameless family and no one would complain about iti f she fails.
Seriously, the only way the roster of Team 7 makes sense is when you assume that Hiruzen hoped to stop the last Ushiha and the Living Nuke from becoming ninjas and Sakura was clanless colleteral damage in this plan.
At first I was like "No wth are you talking about, especially the part about the 3 students being taught by other, more suitable teachers - that's actually a very good and thoughtfull thing a good sensei would do, pass his students off to more suitable teachers that match their skills better" then I realised ... Kakashi had nothing to do with this. Would've been a great show of teaching if it was Kakashi who nudged especially Sakura and Naruto towards their Sannin counterpart, but Naruto meeting and being taking care of by Jiraiya was more or less a stroke of luck, and Sakura seeked out Tsunade on her own; and well Kakashi rightfully tried to prevent Sasuke from joinging with Orochimaru.
As I said: Would've been cool to have at least the seed planted pre- timeskip for Kakashi intending to send Naruto and Sakura towards better suited teachers as in the Sanin, showing him understand that with their great potential and his mediocre to subpar teaching skills and motivation, they would be better off.
After all it is quite fitting though, as we know that Kakashi mainly became a teacher on the Hokage's order, since he was just getting more edgy and depressed as an ANBU. He then ONLY focussed on the "teamwork" aspect and as soon as he found one team in YEARS and dozens of academy students, he called it a day and stopped teaching. Weird
PT 1 Kakashi: those who abandon their friends are worse than trash!
Also PT 1 Kakashi: hey, Guy, don't train my student who would be good at Taijutsu. Anyway, see ya, Naruto and Sakura, Imma go train Sasuke!
That is also a good question why the team leaders didn't do group training when in the village together so they could spread their specialties to the members on other teams who had potential in something that wasn't their leader's specialty.
Yea i fully agree, i’ve said this plenty of times especially after watching part 1. Kakashi did absolutely nothing for them aside from Sasuke. Both Naruto and Sasuke made it to the final rounds and he only took time to personally train Sasuke, not even try and check up on Naruto. And Sakura just got the shortest end of the stick cause he did nothing to try and boost her confidence and fighting spirit whatsoever. Each of his three students only started to bloom after they each left him.
I do think for the Chunin exams there were mitigating circumstances - Gaara was a stone cold sociopath and would’ve likely killed Sasuke if he could’ve. Naruto was fighting Neji, who as another leaf Shinobi was unlikely to kill a comrade, and Sakura was fighting no one. Sasuke’s life was on the line, and he was the priority.
Kakashi saw that Lee’s blinding speed was enough to shake Gaara but even with a 5th Gate Amp wasn’t able to generate enough force to damage him.
But Gaara’s sand shield is at least partly derived from Earth release, which is weak to Lightning release. And Chidori is an assassination technique that is itself perfect for piercing through an armored target. Sasuke may only get one or two shots with it, but those shots could kill or wound Gaara, which was the only way he could survive.
Buffing Sasuke’s taijutsu was enough to avoid him being sand coffin’d, and the Chidori might’ve been necessary to pierce Gaara’s defenses - a less powerful lightning Jutsu might’ve been more versatile but less effective, since even Chidori only barely broke through Gaara’s sand dome so they may have been totally useless.
It seems like Kakashi made the best possible use of that month to give Sasuke the tools he needed to live.
He did recruit Ebisu, who is allegedly one of the best teachers in the village, to tutor Naruto. We don’t see him making any arrangements for Sakura but I think it’s unfair to say he didn’t - the series is from Naruto’s POV and we don’t always see what everyone else is doing. I think it’s more likely that she was trained by someone but didn’t make any plot relevant progress in a month’s time.
In some fairness, Team 7 was apparently his first time actually teaching a team. It was mentioned he'd failed every other group he was given for this sort of thing.
He was the worst teacher because he was the worst emotionally. He been through more than anybody in the series. Kakashi story represents in a lot of ways the the path from trauma to life above it. He goes through all the stages. It’s not until he comes, literally face to face with the sources of his trauma, that he heals. When he kinda died and met his father. Yo is mask splitting, revealing obito. Minato coming back to life. Sasuke reuniting with team 7. That’s the real answer to how a person heals. You have to come face to face with the source of your traumas. You can do that journey yourself, or you can get a therapist who’s trained in uprooting some of that. Then, you know what you’ll need after that, a whole lot of love to fill the uprooted soil. That love comes from God. Who loves us with an everlasting love, and draws us with his own loving kindness.
Given that Kakashi had a really messed up childhood; abandoned by his father due to suicide, feeling responsible for Obito’s death, being directly responsible for Rin’s death and feeling guilty that he was powerless to help save his sensei, I don’t think he did all that terrible. I mean Hiruzen’s favorite student, Orochimaru, not only abandoned the village but began experimenting on people from his own village before he left all while Hiruzen was the 3rd hokage. Not to mention that compared to all the other teams from that era, team 7 had the most behavioral problems to overcome. Neji was a close second but still wasn’t as bad as Naruto and Sasuke’s issues. So I mean what exactly was he supposed to do about their issues when he himself had barely come to terms with his own problems. Personally I don’t think that the other squad leaders from the Konoha 13 had as many personal issues as well as squad issues to overcome as Kakashi did. And let’s not forget that Neji began to overcome his issues because of Naruto not Guy.
Kakashi? The man who read pornography in front of his students a bad teacher? Naaaah
Thanks a lot for the video! It's something that has been bugging me forever. I kept hearing how great of a sensei Kakashi was, while I always saw the exact opposite. Realistically, if not for the other teachers stepping in, his own genin were well on the paths of a possible tragedy. It's a teacher's duty to help their students grow,but it becomes even more of a pressing matter - a literal life or death - when it comes to shinobi.
I like Kakashi as a character,but he is a massive failure as a teacher - even a literal hazard to their lives in his avoidance to guide them.
One thing though. I would argue that Sakura isn't the only person of Konoha 12 without clan's teachings. For all purposes, Naruto is in the same boat, since he had no one to teach him in his childhood either. He does have his clan name,but that's literally all he has clan-related. Actually, I don't think he ever learns anything related to his clan,ever. Which I think is a big shame and a wasted potential, since the legacy of Uzushio is well and truely gone this way,without ever being even properly adressed.
He is a decent teacher because he recognized that it was a work not suited for him and give away those poor childres before he screw up more the situation.
There are several issues
1 he did teach them to walk on water .
2 Sakura was flat out written poorly , she was a genjutsu specialist. Never used it once
3 Naruto had 2 seals, which disrupt his Chakra network . It's mentioned that susake would need to put the fox under genjutsu. Kakashi knew this due to Rn not being able to contain the 3 tails . So what jutsu could naruto learn without the rasangan and sage mode ? It's noted that wind style is rare. Now add no mom or dad , maybe a wind style user . Then break down the other 4 elements. If the other 4 elements you get Gara. Haku. A fire user and no Chakra as lighting and wind cancel each other out
It was never a secret that Kakashi was a lousy teacher. He was notorious for rejecting every team of genin that was assigned to him. His talents would've gone to waste anyway, teaching a bunch of genin how to fight. His value was best served protecting the village.
My all-time favorite part of this is what I call the Shadow Clone Plot Hole. Everyone knows that Naruto can use the Kage Bushin from day one. Its his one actual technique until he hooks up with Jiraya. And yet Kakashi waits all the way until Shippuden to teach Naruto that his signature fucking technique has a huge extra bonus in recon and cutting down on training time.
Temari was also like 17 years old during the Chuunin exams while Tenten was 14. That may not sound like a lot, but go look at the difference between kids that age playing sports and you'll see exactly what happens when age in involved in tests of physical prowess.
Kankuro was the oldest person at the Chuunin exams, at like 18, fighting a bunch of literal children.
Just to leave a possible theory.
Maybe Kakashi saw Rin in Sakura and didn't teach her anything frightened for her putting herself at risk.
Or maybe Kakashi is how Kishimoto sees himself and since he doesn't care to much about girls (obviously), he didn't care about Sakura as Kakashi didn't as well
That last bit of knowledge was funny as shit but so true
its interesting how each sensei played favorites. their favorites were basically those they saw themselves through or had similar personalities.
In kakashi’s defence the plot has a lot to do with it. Sasuke needed to leave the village for the sake of plot, and the students needed to find the sanin because 1: so Naruto could learn sage and Sakura could become a medical ninja and 2: to introduce the sanin(mainly Jiraya but he finds tsunade so I count it). The plot even made it that kakashi was sent on a mission when sasuke escapes so he couldn’t intervene with plot, and its evident that he would intervene coz when he finds out he goes straight to the final valley.
In my final defence, kakashi mentions that the Chunin exams were quite sudden when informed by the 3rd hokage. In fact when he tells the squad about it, he said it happens in 5 days. U could still make the argument that he should’ve trained them in those five days however no other Sensei did that either prior to the Chunin exams. I’d like to add that kakashi left Naruto with that other sensei(forgot the name) after acknowledging he’s gotten stronger before he went to go train sasuke, and I assume he didn’t train Sakura coz she didn’t have the final round to prepare for coz she didn’t pass.
In my final final defence, kakashi got a bad hand. coz despite their teamwork, a lot of the time all three of them would bicker. No other squad had members that quite literally wanted to kill each other like Naruto and sasuke, and no one had anyone as useless as Sakura(no offence), not to mention she was obsessed with sasuke for quite a bit.
I will admit he hadn’t EVER attempted to train sakura one on one at anytime in the show(that I can think of).
I was seriously glued to this video for the entire run time, when I usually listen stuff like this in the background. You make excellent points and convey them super well
20:26 How does that even work? How does a former Kage and a guy who should not have any real authority keep an Anbu from protecting the current Kage and his wife? What even is government in this world?
17:10 People that abandoned Konoha:
Madara, Itachi(secret mission but still), Obito, Sasuke....
But You have to remember that Kakashi had multiple secret missions about his gennin team, that probably got in the way.
He had to watch over Sasuke as the last survivor, he had to manage info about Naruto with Jiraya...
But yeah he didn't seem to try very much before the chuunin exam.. Naruto had to find an actual teaching by himself, with first Ebisu, and then Jiraiya.
I think it speaks more about Sakura that she just chilled and lazied around, after both the tree climbing(she didn't ask for any other training, or do any training by herself), nor did she try to find any temp teacher while Kakashi was busy keeping an eye on Sasuke.
It took Sasuke leaving(and punching her).. as well as Shippuden time skip to make her realize she should get herself a more direct teacher, or be left behind in the dust.
The worst part is he saw his old team in them that says a lot by itself
6:01 "Kakashi lost everyone in his life that was important to him."
Maito Gai : 😩😭
Kakashi literally was like okay naruto you go with ebisu (then Jiraiya) Sakura you have a knack for genjutsu…but I’m not gonna teach you or send you to kurenai so good luck, Sasuke!!! Let’s learn this super dangerous jutsu even tho you’re not mentally stable 👉🏽👈🏽
I will never get over Kakashi sending Sakura away during tree climbing. He recognized her aptitude for chakra control, and her small reserves, but does nothing to improve either. But he has no problem using her success to taunt the boys. Like you're in the Land of Waves, surrounded by water, teach her water walking, Kakashi!!!!
(BTW the student he has explain things to Naruto because he's to lazy to explain himself)
in regards to kakashi failing as a sensei, he also picked a favorite(sasuke) and only trained said favorite, AND that favorite abandoned the village
It always seemed to me that Kakashi was not interested in taking on students and was essentially pressured into taking on a team of Genin. He has a long track record of firing his students on day 1. Fucks off for long periods of time to do his own thing, and devotes the bare minimum amount of time into leading training and missions (evidenced by showing up extremely late constantly). He doesn't hate them or want them to fail, he just doesn't care about leading others or teaching. He likes independence. Probably a huge reason he wouldn't accept the Hokage title until pressured into it.
