No it isn't easier as Kakashi canonically was being pressure by these 2 mask anyway, with Sharingan.
@Bold: Good thing Kakuzu is mid range fighter
@Bold is there any evidence to state this?
Kakuzu also uses close combat moves

and works with his stretched arms or his threats, which are connected to his body

A raiton clone would still paralyze him when the target is a bit away from the clone

Kakashi managed to place himself and clones underground even itachi and pain, two dojutsu users wasn't able to recognized it

There will be several openings to hide clones especially when kakuzu shots his ninjutsus which create a dust cloud every time.
Kakashi has improved in speed, the sharingan never gave him food speed,

Kakashi and 6 gate guy running at the same time and attacking at the same time leads me to think his food speed has improved.
Still doesn't say anything when part 1 Sakura was able to do something similar[

]. This movement is very ninja basic.
The difference between those senarios is that kakashi was in the air falling straight down into lava with his student and his best friend.
1 second before that he had ground under his feats and in an instant he was teleported, still keeping his mind calm and saved himself and the other 2.
Every ninja learn how to aim with kunais, but using it fast in an unormal situation like the lava teleportation is a skill of reaction.
Have you forgotten he has 5 hearts? He can use the featless heart to perform that.
including his own

the heart kakashi destroyed was the doton heart which kakuzu placed underground, kakuzu can place threats under the earth but not every heart of him only the doton heart i think, but it doesn't matter because kakashi can hide clones without kakuzu recognizing like i stated above.
They would all be useless against Kakuzu's ninjutsu barrages.
team 10 had no problems dodging the fire jutsu

in this fight he neednt protect any body he can just dodge the attacks of kakuzu and he will be able to do this even without sharingan.
he managed to get in front of an ash bone of kaguya, which supposed to be very fast, without the sharingan

This proves he is still fast without the sharingan and would be able to dodge the ninjutsus of kakuzu
Kakashi using Bushin isn't going to stop Kakuzu from weaving hand signs. They all can blown away from Kakuzu ninjutsu.
i think it will, when the ration heart is with hidan and the doton heart inside kakuzu to use domu than there are only 2 hearts against kakashi, the fire and the wind heart, with shadow clones kakashi can keep the hearts at bay, while he and another shadow clone fighting with kakuzu holding him from using hand signs or attacking him when he forms hand signs.
Kakuzu's mask were fighting the whole SA so of course the focus wasn't consistent. He is fighting only two characters here so Kakuzu will have them react much better.
Your premise isn't even effective to state he can use ranton and black lightening at the same time.
he will use first black panter against hidan, the panter will distract him and keep him busy, while the ration heart attacks darui.
Darui is to fast for the ration heart and he can dodge every attack of it and will easily form hand signs for ranton missiles.

here you can see that darui is able to use hunderts of ranton missiles + blitzing on of the demon brothers.
Hidan fell for sth similar

first getting distracted by shadows and than got blitzed by shikamaru.
darui will distract him with the panter and than destroying the heart with the fast and agile missiles

after that he would blitz hidan who is still busy with the black panter.
Again no evidence he can simultaneously do that and you cant distract a Close quarters characters so no distractions. All they do is try to get closer. Hidan, to which I post a scan clashing with futon weapon, can easily sacrifice a basic ninja tool to clash with infuse chakra weapons and then uses his scythe for the opening, just like he did to Asuma in canon.
Darui can also use basic tools to get rid of hidans basic tools to counter the "opening" with the scythe with his ration infused sword.
The rope broke against a explosion tag, so i see no problem in cutting the rope to restrict hidans movements.
Except Kakuzu WIll form hand seals as Kakashi isn't stopping him when he has to worry about Katon and Futton barrages. Too bad Shikamaru never dodged it so therefore your argument holds no water. Are you suggesting that Suigetsu is superior to Asuma in CQC too? Since he was keeping up with Darui in close quarters only to get distracted.
My mistake i thought about the anime where shikamaru dodged it, in manga he didn't so you are right.
Katon and futton barrages are dodged with speed or avoided by going underground, kakuzu won't see anything and kakashi can attack the fused wind and fire heart from behind while an other clone is keeping kakuzu busy coming also from behind or beneath.
Except you ignored my premise that Kakuzu prepares Katon barrage to which these two are force to retreat or they get caught, while its covering hidan, to give him time. Kakuzu will never be busy with them when they go out by one shot. Beast runner isn't a factor. It is very similar to Black panther to which he easily dodges or neglects wit with Futon.
He won't easily dodge the beast runner, which pain had to cancel with shinra tensei because it was to fast.
The dog moves at highspeed and can avoid things by himself because he is connected with kakashis hand who can control it
