Wait, is booby trap setting included in prep time? If so, then Team one's chances definitely increase.

His stamina is an issue, so yeah, I agree with that part. Resilience is not Kakashi's forte.

"If only he had Kamui to solve all his problems"- Kishimoto

Yeah I guess they've got him there but he more than makes up for it with his diverse arsenal. Although we haven't seen anything revolutionary from Kakashi's 1000 jutsu, there's at least variety and unpredictability that comes with it. He should try explore that if going up against people who can read his moves.

The 1000 techniques argument doesn't go in his favour, as he hasn't shown anything. I wouldn't consider them relevant for the debate.

Really? I always thought that Dog Wall, Fireball and Water Dragon counted...It's safe to assume the 1000 jutsu are just basic jutsu of each element.

Used roughly 30 techniques in the manga.
Hasn't shown anything.

Not a lot for normal people but Shikamaru alone can think up 100 strategies in a few minutes. Also considering the familiar battleground i'm sure him and his father already have general strategies from prior knowledge. This if anything gives Kakashi a succinct disadvantage against the two.

Any leaf shinobi worth their stuff should know the leaf village.
And given that all the duo knows in this scenario is his general abilities no plan going to flat out defeat kakashi.
At best they will get a better understanding of his arsenal but to do that they too will show their abilities.

General knowledge of Kakashi is: the copy ninja, famous 1000 jutsu and user of lightning style

No, you misunderstand me. I am saying that he hasn't shown 1000 techniques. For all we know, they could be very basic techniques that he himself doesn't consider valuable in a fight, which is why this argument isn't valid for me. We can only count the ones he has shown, as I mentioned by stating about his skill set, which would be the known skill set.

Obviously he would know jutsus of the basic 5 elements.

Yes, showing all of them would be impossible. But his skill set compared to the techniques he supposedly knows is negligible.

So that leaves out:
His constant clone/sub tricks.
All his water techs
All his earth techs.

Yeah. General knowledge isn't doing so much.

Chances are just too get him in a bad situation they're gonna use a shadow technique. That's their entire move set.
