I’ve noticed a trend whenever I see people talking about the Land of Waves arc. When mentioning the good things about it, they stress how Zabuza being a foil to Kakashi really helps the arc out. Usually including how Kakashi really lacks anyone like this to push him for the rest of the series.
You do have Obito, but that doesn’t get personal until the very end of the series. It’s far too late for Obito to be considered some rival.
I personally think it would’ve been a good idea to have someone play that role for Kakashi. While he’s never boring, he is a bit on the sidelines in Shippuden and doesn’t have an impetus to push himself until the final arc.
