Hot Topic: Kakashi's Mentoring Ability

Many consider him a genius; he can handle nearly any situation and almost became Hokage. Kakashi has the good guy routine under lock and key. But, early on in Naruto it was clear that he had a certain affinity for Sasuke. You could even say he gave the moody young ninja more attention than he gave to Naruto or Sakura. So is Kakashi really a good mentor for everybody in Team 7? The question is more complex than you might think. Diverting his attention away from Sakura and Naruto may have stunted their growth as ninja early in their training. On the other hand Sasuke, being a powerhouse in his own right, arguably needed Kakashi's influence to keep him on the right path. Let your voice be heard in the forum!
