Naruto does do genius things every now and then (because he's the main character of course) but he also falls for stupid things as well, like being caught in itachi's gejutsu over and over, but definately not "90%" of characters do those things, only the smart ones + naruto. Sasuke is a genius, even Kishi claims he is =\Kakashi copies sharingan perfectly just as well as Sasuke, but Sasuke's ability to become faster, stronger, etc and basically become an overall better fighter is better then Kakashi.
I'd think he would take more wins then losses, I don't see Kakashi being able to take on Deidara, or go toe to toe with Itachi genjutsu like Sasuke was able to.
Sasuke doesn't have the sharingan draining his chakra all the time. Kakashi does. The sharingan is a double edge sword in Kakashi while Sasuke's body can handle it fine and he can turn it off.
And Kakashi would beat Deidara...Deidara's attacks would be defused just like Sasuke did. And Kakashi would just Kamui him if he blew up. And Sasuke beat an Itachi who didn't want to win, and was dying. How nice of him to battle genjutsu with an opponent not really trying.
