Kakashi Hatake is one of the most powerful characters in the Naruto world. Known to have been a prodigy from a very young age, Kakashi grew up to become one of the very strongest ninjas to have ever existed in Konohagakure.

Thanks to his Sharingan, he learned countless Jutsu and it is believed that, with time, the number has far surpassed 1000 as well. While Kakashi mostly relies on his signature techniques, such as Raikiri, in combat, there are several other Jutsu in his arsenal that fans didn't know he could use.

6 Eight Inner Gates

The Eight Inner Gates is a powerful forbidden Jutsu passed down from Might Duy to Guy and from him to Rock Lee. Currently, it is one of the main Jutsu of the Lee clan of Konoha. This technique allows the user to open all their limiters and access power that is far beyond that of an average human. While Kakashi isn't specifically skilled in taijutsu like Guy, he can still access the Eight Inner Gates.

This was seen during the Chunin Exams arc where Kakashi used the ability while doing a rock climbing exercise. It is unknown exactly how many gates he can open, however, he seems to possess the skill to open at least the First Gate. It is possible that, over the years, he's advanced this skill even further.

5 Strong Fist

Strong Fist is a type of taijutsu that is rather common in the world of Naruto. As opposed to the Gentle Fist which is practiced by the Hyuga, this style of taijutsu focuses on heavy blows that pack quite a punch. Strong Fist is Kakashi's forte when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. Over the years, he has engaged in several fights against the likes of Might Guy, among other strong taijutsu users, and fared quite well against them.

This goes to show that Kakashi's skill in this art is far beyond ordinary. In the Boruto era, Kakashi could even fight evenly against some of the Inners of Kara, which just goes to show that his taijutsu skills have only improved over the years.

4 Rasengan

The Rasengan is a powerful ninjutsu developed by the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, after observing a Tailed Beast Ball. This jutsu was eventually passed down to the likes of Jiraiya, who later taught it to Naruto Uzumaki. Surprisingly, Kakashi is also one of the many users of the Rasengan.

In fact, he mastered this technique at quite a young age. Just like Minato, Kakashi tried to add his nature transformation to this jutsu to perfect it, however, he failed. Interestingly, this is how he came up with the Chidori instead. While training Naruto for the Rasenshuriken, Kakashi displayed the ability to use the Rasengan quite well. While he can make perfect use of this technique, he chooses not to rely on it since he is more skilled with the Raikiri.

3 Shadow Clone Jutsu

The Shadow Clone Jutsu is one of Naruto's most impressive techniques that he's centered his entire arsenal around. While Naruto relies on this technique a lot, he certainly isn't the only user of this technique. Kakashi Hatake is also a great user of the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

In fact, he can even utilize the forbidden version of this technique called the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu. In the Land of Waves arc, fans saw Kakashi clone himself several times over. Interestingly, Kakashi's usage of this technique isn't nearly as good as Naruto's. Since he doesn't have comparable chakra, Kakashi can only clone himself a few times and even that is rare, to begin with, given his low chakra reserves.

2 Front Lotus

Front Lotus is a mighty Taijutsu technique that was used by Rock Lee during his fight against Gaara. The Jutsu sees the utilization of the Eight Inner Gates and, once used, it grants the user a tremendous physical boost that allows them to utterly destroy their opponents with a menacing barrage of blows.

This Jutsu allows the user to knock their opponent in the air with a strong kick and then make use of bandages to tie them up and smash them into the ground. Since Kakashi can use at least the very first Gate of the eight, he can quite easily make use of this jutsu with little to no fatigue.

1 Purple Electricity

Purple Electricity is the newest Jutsu that Kakashi has developed over the years. After losing his Sharingan, Kakashi lost the ability to use the Raikiri as it heavily relies on the eye to keep track of the most intricate movements and, more importantly, avoid getting countered and hurt in the process.

At some point after the war, Kakashi developed a new Lightning Release Jutsu called Purple Electricity and it allows him to strike down his targets from a distance. Its power is incredibly immense and it even hurt the Nue, which is nothing short of impressive. MORE:Naruto: Things Itachi Uchiha Did Wrong
