Kakashi: The reserves of his chakra are quite average due to his Sharingan. However, his chakra reserves are increased after the Fourth Shinobi World War when he loses his Sharingan and when Naruto gives him the six-path chakra. Hence, he is now able to combat long battles and develop complex skills.
Orochimaru: Orochimaru on the other hand has large chakra reserves which are enough to summon Manda. Moreover, he can absorb an opponent’s chakra, skills, and knowledge through physical contact.

Nature Transformation
Kakashi: He can use all five basic nature transformations along with the yin and yang release. In addition, he is recognized for his lightning nature. He once used his Chidori to slice a bolt of lightning.
