You guys are saying similar things so, I don't expect you to debate this with me again KG however countering the ways of killing Sasuke (again Kirin was your only definite way of killing Kakuzu) would be lit
Sasuke's katons are ridiculously smaller than his fuutons so its questionable if it can be countered in such a manor, even so the mask doesn't need to remain in one place after firing the fuuton, he can move away and avoid such a counterattack which is questionable as all of Sasuke's Katons require hand seals while Kakuzu's fuuton is hard to predict when the jutsu is being used (as stated by the DB)
Why are you saying he's a good deal faster than Kakashi by feats? I've said it before but KN0 Naruto also was able to blitz Deidara, yes without an arm however it was still a blitz. Sasuke may had been right in front of him however he still aimed to accomplish this while Deidara's guard was down making it more of an ambush than a blitz.
Both he and Kakashi were unable to close the gap between Deidara and themselves on the ground without some sort of strategy, and Kakashi later on in the manga was fighting on-par with MS Sasuke (big gap in the manga that could account for training wasn't until after 5 kage summit arc) so its still the same Kakashi.
Why can't he go from all angles?
The only smaller scaled attack is Raiton, both Katon and fuuton cover a massive area and if he tries to tank either or by simply going curse mark and continuing the charge he gets roasted by the combination that Kakuzu can add immediately after the other jutsu (or simply fire off another katon/fuuton) as when tanking in the middle of a massive jutsu Sasuke can't very much see whats going on with the masks.
Also if he jumps up over the raiton, he gets caught by threads, and if he attempts to slice them gets blasted by fuuton.
Spear shits but if he gets caught it's over, you mention the Yamato scan however (and I know I've showed you this before) Nagashi did nothing to Deidara's clay

and if I were to say which category Kakuzu's threads fall closer to I'd say the clay as its not a hard easily breakable solid such as wood.
As I said debatable, however I feel dragon flame would come to be bigger than I remember so as I said the wind mask isn't just going to sit there afterwards, lets not forget it immediately returned to Kakuzu's side after being used in the manga

I'd say from that distance it could get away easily while Kakuzu tanks the damage from domu.
I guess this wins it for him...if he really can use a smaller version of Kirin, don't forget one use of atsugai and the forest is basically no more. With intel though, Atsugai's blasting every cloud that forms away.
Leaves him vulnerable to immediately taking another hit as unlike Oro he was shown to utilize it much slower, not to mention the chakra it takes is immense.
:/
A conclusion that you literally have no proof of besides the DB :lol as I said Kakashi clashed with Sasuke (a stronger version) with no problems in speed
I suppose he does here
Read above, also when looking at it

its pretty easy to tell that most of the change in shape is Yamato using a binding wood technique, it may have stopped the jutsu but it didn't break it apart

the wood is still in perfect shape here, so idk actually if it had broken it, than it wouldn't be so uniform.
He can't overpower the raiton? :lol if at any time even in CM he gets hit with it he's dead.
