Kakuzu has no knowledge on Sasuke as the OP said its only 'Manga knowledge' Sasuke and Kakuzu have never encountered each other.Kakuzu won't know that he's a Raiton user until Sasuke uses it and he doesn't know about the distance the true spear can reach.And Kakuzu simply surprised attacked Kakashi since Kakashi thought he was down.
He doesn't have too have knowledge on Sasuke to not want him to come near? And Sasuke is going to show his lightning style pretty early on,and once he does Kakuzu would be extra determined not too let him near him..Kakashi was not ten meters near Kakuzu that whole fight until Kakuzu wanted him too be, his hearts keep his opponents a fair distance away U_U, although again doesn't matter if Kakashi knew it was coming or not, as we all know Kakashi must use his Raikiri while going at a ext. fast speed, which is why its most useful with the Sharingan as it allows him to not be caught off guard while going at such speeds, the fact that Kakuzu was able too get up and kick him before he even reached Hidan is a feat in itself
I don't see what's stopping Sasuke from approaching Kakuzu when Sasuke has his snake summon escorting him in and out of the attacks his masks will throw at him.Hidan is a non factor to a 3T user who can run Raition throw his katana so i want bring him up.Sasuke can slice all the threads that try to restrain him and he can also increase his speed by using the CS1.Kakashi is not as fast as Sasuke especially CS1 Sasuke who in part 1 was always shown to be faster every time he used it.Chidori > Domo yeah it felt good typing that.
Early part 2 Sasuke had a 3.5 in speed, whereas Kakashi had a 4.5 ... U_U I think its safe too say that Kakashi is indeed faster, What the hell is a snake summon going to do? They get one shotted via any of Kakuzu's jutsu or he could simply rip their eyes out via threads, not to mention those jutsu would hit Sasuke as well as i'm assuming he would be on top of the snake, and just too let you know using Katon to counteract this wind jutsu is not a good idea, one look at the jutsu

and you can tell if he did try to use a katon it would cause a massive explosion burning Sasuke and whoever else near him as well U_U Meanwhile Kakuzu tanks the flames via doton,
Don't know why your suggesting Sasuke can take this with a simple chidori, Kakuzu was only taken down a hear via raikiri because he was ambushed, he knows Sasuke is here he is not going to just simply let him be, his threads have already shown that they can trap a sharingan user, a FASTER sharingan user as well ... If he tries to go close to Kakuzu, he simply restrains his hands so he can slice any of them, and then either rips his heart out or slams him with a jutsu

If Sasuke takes damage then Katsuyu can heal him on the go(their will be clones all over the battle field or simply 3 for each Team 7 members).And since they're pretty much Katsuyu they can each use acid slim which can aid Sasuke in his assault on Kakuzu.
That pathetic excuse for a summon is roasted like a marshmallow via wind+fire combo, or perhaps just the normal katon would do U_U, lol acid slime? Is blow away via fuuton
Its not about the fire you told me yourself in a Kakuzu vs Jiraiya thread its about the oil Bunta uses to amplify the flame.
Yes but it also depends on how long the fire lasts, U_U Sasuke's dragon flame jutsu is not continuous like Jiraiyas flame bomb is
Naruto and Bunta can take care of the flying hearts thanks to Bunta's incredible speed and jumping ability.
Lol That same bunta who had trouble hitting a similar sized person with a lesser flying ability

Summons ...are...overrated, the toad gets blasted by Kakuzu's wind style which then either crushes the toad or blows it away
Sasuke can easily dodge that unlike Choji and Shikamaru by using his shunshin or by riding his snake summons.He could use Manda if he wants to, the same Manda that lived through Deidara's strongest and biggest explosion for few seconds.
What? The jutsu is incredibly fast Kakashi was only able to intervene due to his sharingan and the fact that he was able to anticipate it ... which btw he has a much better mastery over the Sharingan then sasuke did at the time U_U Also Manda did not live through shit he was skimmed by the blast and got ****ed up by such a little amount

Overrated...summons are overrated
Naruto can be used as a meat shield for Sasuke for all i care.His only purpose is to take out the flying hearts and summon Bunta.
Hope you know when he dies Bunta goes away...and their not touching the hearts,
Sasuke puts him under gen and Sakura kills him.Hidans cocky and usually doesn't ask for assistance if Kakuzu underestimates his opponents he loses his team member.
If he dares take his eyes of Kakuzu he dies, although frankly i think he gets Ko'd with this combo

Although he doesn't even have a suiton ..so he could even simply die via the flames
