Kakashi : Bad Teacher?

[IFHTT]

Well given the circumstances, he did the best he could. I mean his student's weren't exactly star students. One had an inferiority complex with his brother mixed with the desire for revenge, and on top of that, stubborn as hell. The next is a useless girl who has yet to prove her worth to the group, and the last a WAY too spastic kid, with a huge amount of potential but lacks the brainpower to function properly as a ninja mixed with desire to be the best ninja, not in the best interest of the people but for his own gratification... Tough group of first students if you ask me. He could have undoubtedly do better though.

Whoever neg repped for this post saying "Kakashi is the best and he only teaches the best.", you need to reread it dumbass. I backed kakashi up for the most part, dickhole.

Yeah, with that group of winners as the first group he AGREED to train it really makes you wonder what kind of of turds he actually rejected.

The kind who didn't understand the meaning of CHI-MU-WA-KU.

The one thing people keep pointing out is that Kakashi is not a good teacher simply because he gave Naruto to Ebisu. When he did that he even mentioned (to himself) that Ebisu would be able to teach Naruto more things than himself, and to me it sounded like he really did understand that Naruto had potential and hoped that Ebisu could bring it out in him. Granted, aside from the chakra control training, we never get to find out what Ebisu might have been capable of since Jiraiya took control.

Still, I do think he needs to do something with Sakura. I think she's made a few leaps and bounds on her own, but still believe that she needs some individual hardcore training because she's still pretty weak. Sometimes I wonder why she wanted to become a ninja... But yeah, I really hope that Sasuke going off to Oro will be a good motivator for her.

That's my two cents. =P

In my opinion he is an exceptional teacher, he may not be the best, but he sure is one of the better ones.

Why do i think so?

1: He only accepted to train them because they place their teammates ahead of themselves. Remember! No other group did that, and i recall the third used the same method to train the Sanins.

2. The reason why he gave Sasuke "special attention" is because he is the one he most relates to. The same out to prove yourself attitude the same thirst for revenge. Remember Sasuke is the only surviving member of his clan besides Itachi, and if he is an embarassment the whole clan is reflected by that since his shoulders carry the reputation of the clan. The reason why he didn't teach naruto the chidori is not because he didn't want to, it is becuase he can't learn it that easily if at all. It requires speed, exceptional sealing ability and in some part the sharingan. Also the reason why he taught Sasuke the Chidori is so that he would not rely on the CURSE SEAL.

3. The reason why he was angry that Jariya taught naruto the rasengan was not because he favors Sasuke, but because this would further fuel Sasuke quest for power, remember that is his original goal. But being in group number 7 his heart began to change from revenge to protecting the one he care about. Remember no matter what Naruto and Sasuke are RIVALS. The reason why Jariya taught him rasengan is because he understand Naruto better than anyone, and alos it was created but the fourth and we all know naurto and the fourth share similiar qualities.

4. There was no objection to Jariya taking over Naruto as a student. Why? Like i said Jariya understands Naruto better than anyone, and he is the one that would best prepare him for the upcoming battle with the group Itachi belongs to.

5. Why is he ignoring Sakura and Naruto? Remember he is an elite Journin, and since Konaha power has been cut in half by the attack on the village, alot rest heavily on his shoulders to keep up Konaha's power; so far he has only been on "S" class missions.
Also remember when he found out that Sasuke left the village and Naruto and the others went after him, he dropped everything to go in after them. And he abandon his search for Sasuke when Naruto was hurt.

6. Why is Jariya and Tsunade training Naruto and Sakura? If you haven't noticed Group seven is similar to the Sanin group so who better is there to train them, than the ones they most relate too. Sakura with her perfect control of chakra has realized that she can never be as good a warrior as Naruto and Sasuke and has placed her efforts on supporting them instead with medical assistance. Who better to teach her than the person who is legendary in the field, and the Hokage. Naruto with one of the greatest chakra and a quest to save a friend than the person that was called the Hero of Konaha and also wanted to save his friend Orichimaru.

Anyways Kakashi is an exceptional teacher because he tried to teach his group something more tan just completing missions. Although the fact of the matter the group didn't stay together was beyond his control, alot of influencial people were against that one a leader of a hidden group and the other a member of "S" class ninjas'. He did the best he could and he realized when he was wrong and admitted it. Also he knew when it was time to let go. That is my opinion of man.

Kudos to dragonrage.

Well like Kraco said b4 sasuke is more like kakaski and naruto is just a handfull in general and since ebisu had "tired" to teach konohamaru he has experiance dealing with students who can be a handfull. At anyrate kakashi took sasuke in my opinion because he knew he could teach sasuke what he need since he understands sasuke.

[bxgreatone87]

he really isnt a bad teacher he is just a better teacher for sasuke because of the shrigan and that they are similar.Also if he trained naruto like he trained sasuke would naruto ever recieve the training tfrom jiraya since he met im while training with the closet pervert lol and on sakura part since she isnt really the fighting type it would be better for her to learn how to be a medical ninja from the 5th.What kakashi taught them was team work and control of chacra if he taught them everything he knows there is no room for them to learn about there special techniques and every ninja would be the same which would such lol.i read something about naruto's rasengan being diffrent from jiraya's but he dose it difrently cause he cant control chakra as well and when he is using the kyubi's chakra where he gets a tail and all you uses rasengan like jiraya so there really is no diffrence just in his skill lvl at the moment

The fact Kakashi no doubt tried his best doesn't make him an excellent teacher. It made him a respectable teacher, but even a totally average and adequate teacher can be respectable as long as he gives all he has got to the teaching.

Kakashi pushed Naruto to somebody like Ebisu, who is a total loser and a fool. This is the man who failed miserably to teach and handle Konohamaru. An idiot like Naruto gave Konohamaru more valuable lessons than Ebisu. This reveals one thing: When things got serious, Kakashi abandoned Naruto and concentrated on saving and helping Sasuke. This is pretty natural considering how similar they are, like has been said many times in the previous posts.

However, this fits Kakashi's character perfectly as well as the nature of the series (well, before the fillers started, anyway). It doesn't make him an excellent teacher but it does make him a stern and succesful ninja. Happenings like this are what make Naruto the series it is.

Actually, i think that kakashi did the right thing by sending naruto to ebisu, cause he though naruto could use some basic chakra control, wich he truly did, and don`t forget ebisu IS a jounin and used to teaching
