Yamato vs Kakashi

[NarutoSamaman]

Couldn't find this done before apologies if it has been.

Who do you think would take this fight considering we all know how godly the shodai was and if Yamato can even conjure up even a certain percentage of the shodai's abilities he'd be hella strong when he gets serious.

We know he's weaker than Oro but then again so is Kakashi- do you think Yamato would be able to fight evenly considering he was part of the Hokage's personal anbu and the only other ninja to be able to use the wood element?

Personally I think Kakashi would take this but it'd be interesting to hear what other people think.

Edited: Reasons- more battle experience, and access to greater ninjutsu as well as the sharingan(MS+ordinary)

[Azn]

your supposed to state why you choose kakashi.

anyway, kakashi wins this. Sharingan and MS is just overpowered. Plus, yamamoto calls kakashi senpai, or sensei, so its obvious whos stronger

[Blackghost164]

I agree, yamato isnt even close to how strong the 1st was, he's strong but he's definetly not at kakashi's level, which is made apparent by him calling him sensai

also kakashi has the power to become the next hokage, yamato wasnt even mentioned in that discussion

[NarutoSamaman]

I don't think the senpai is a good indication of strength, Naruto will always call Kakashi- kakashi sensei even though we know he's going to surpass him and be a more complete ninja by the end of the manga.

I suppose it comes down to how much of the mokuton ability Yamato is capable of and has mastered, we know Madara godly as he was still couldn't defeat the 1st and he also had MS and more range of MS attacks than Kakashi could ever dream of having.

But I think Kakashi's battle experience and from what has been gathered in the manga thus far that Yamoto can only access only a certain proportion of the first's power I agree Kakashi would win.

[Bonkai Renji]

I would go for kakashi because he has something that the leaf feared and yamato has something that was scared by what kakashi has. Decides kakashi would just send yamato to another dimension.

I think yamato just try and trap kakashi like he did to sasuke but kakashi would just bust out of it like sasuke did so easily.

[Anbukakashi14]

Yamato doesn't stand a chance against Kakashi. He would need regular sharingan, of course, but he might not even need MS. I am not sure if wood conducts eletricity, but wood chakra is a mix of water and earth. And Lightning jutsu beats down Earth jutsu. That means Kakashi just blows apart Yamato's wood defenses with Raikiri and stabs him in the heart. Game over. Besides Kakashi can also do fire style, and fire burns through wood. Oh yeah, and don't forget he has 9 (is it nine?) ninja hounds to back him up.

[NarutoSamaman]

^ you are seriously underestimating the mokuton the first hokage was an absolute beast(Yamato isn't in the same league but the argument above regarding lightning etc isn't what would allow Kakashi to win), combined 2 elements have no elemental weakness I don't think.

[Rollin 20's]

i agree you people are kind of underestimating yamato besides we havent even seen his true power yet so we cant really say hes not on kakashi level but what we have seen so far kakashi would win this

im not exactly sure how the 2 elementals effect the strength and weaknesses of other elements but i agree i think that means they have no weaknesses against other elements but i also think it means that they dont have any specific strenths

[Kataklyzm]

It's funny. Even after all this time, we have little info on Yamato's abilities. Still, I'll had this one over to Kakashi. His Sharingan gives him an instant combat advantage, and I'm not even getting into the MS. Kakashi is also considered to be the next unarguable canidate for the position of Hokage. Yamato is no pushover, especially with the Wood element of his, but I seriously doubt that he could overcome the Copy Ninja.

[Rukia Bankai]

Kakashi being mention as a canidate for hokage while Yamato wasn't even mentioned. Also Yamato calling him senpai means more than enough.

[lazania]

Kakashi, hands down. No matter how godly the mokuton is, I don't think it can match a Sharingan user, let alone the Mangekyou Sharingan. In addition, Yamato calls Kakashi senpai, which means Kakashi is more experienced than Yamato.

1.) Shodaime defeated Kyuubi + EMS + Sharingan with just mokuton jutsu.
2.) It doesnt mean "Senpai" you cant beat him at all.

Senpai means someone who's older who works with you, let say yamato was still a young in anbu and kakashi was a senior its obvious that someone will call him a senpai.

3.) We dont know anything. Infact with Mokuton have a lot of advantage over kakashi since it can change landscape and kakashi would have hard time dealing on a opponent someone who can change landscape since he cant fly in the air while changing the landscape.

1.) Shodaime defeated Kyuubi + EMS + Sharingan with just mokuton jutsu.

One, that was the 1st and 2 we have no idea how he beat madara.

2.) It doesnt mean "Senpai" you cant beat him at all.

No, but it does mean that kakashi is "higher up" than yamato. You should go and read up on why they call people sensei, senpai etc.

Senpai means someone who's older who works with you, let say yamato was still a young in anbu and kakashi was a senior its obvious that someone will call him a senpai.

I woul dbet my left testical that kakashi and yamato are roughly the same age.

Also, you call someone senpai when you have the utmost respect for them. Not just because they are older than you.

3.) We dont know anything. Infact with Mokuton have a lot of advantage over kakashi since it can change landscape and kakashi would have hard time dealing on a opponent someone who can change landscape since he cant fly in the air while changing the landscape.

Yamato can't fly. Infact, no one in naruto can fly, other than konan, in a sense.

Plus, as we've seen, lightning seems to beat mokuton and what is kakashi's affinity? That's right, lightning.

Not only that, but earth is beat by lightning and water is beat by earth, two elements of which kakashi has.

Then, kakashi is at kage level judging by tsunades and jiraiyas talk.

He also has the sharingan which can follow all of yamato's movements, he's incredibly fast and incredibly skilled.

And MS is almost instant win for kakashi.

Kakashi takes this one and relatively easy as well.

[S.O.C]

kakashi would win easily....he would copy the techniques with his sharingan and when he gets a chance he would use chidor and knock yamato out ;D

[The stig]

You can't copy mokuton, but kakashi would still win.

[S.O.C]

why cant you copy mokuton?

[The stig]

Its a kekkei genkai.

Only people with the firsts DNA can use it, but only the 1st and yamato has ever been able to use it. The only reason yamato can is because oro transplanted(thats the right word right?) some of the 1sts dna into him when he was just a wee kid.

[NarutoSamaman]

@scarface ^ when did lightning beat mokuton. I'm almost 100% sure that wood has no elemental weaknesses. It's pretty much the most powerful kekkai genkai for a reason.

I agree Kakashi probably could beat Yamato but if Yamato is able to even use a reasonable portion of the 1st's powers he'll take this, I guess it comes down to how much Yamato is able to use his kekkai genkai. We have yet to see Yamato in action- he's not as powerful as Oro but neither is Kakashi.

Regarding the whole senpai/sensei argument- Minato used to call Jiraiya sensei after he became hokage but he'd be able to take Jiraiya. Senpai/Sensei is a sign of respect but doesn't mean the person is more powerful.

[endomilik]

@scarface101

Kakashi would have problem dealing with Mokuton user, specially if it just able to grab you from any position your in. Except AIR. - The fact that kakashi cant fly with Mokuton he can stretch it out and grab kakashi hands and disable him using jutsu? In fact kakashi cant use MS while his hands are both lock by mokuton.

We dont know how fast Yamato because we havent seen him in real action. But in fact that lightning wont deal damage to yamato cuz he's element isnt weak to lightning.

i mean just take a good look, kakashi never combine any 2 elements. he mainly uses the main element. while Yamato could combine water and earth to produce wood and he can do it with out a problem.
