Ya, and rock lee owns neji if neji cant use heaven rotation or gentle fist. The only difference is he can.
Also I am confused, when you say (taijutsu) I am assuming kakashi cannot use ninjutsu? Which is pretty unfair. That would be like me saying that Kakashi beats gai if they both cannot use taijutsu. Kakashi's training focuses on ninjutsu while gai's focuses on taijutsu. So ofcourse gai would be better at taijutsu and ofcourse kakashi would be better at ninjutsu.
It was only around his hands...
and in the slide i showed there is no aura around him...
Hidorama requires the gates to be active in order to use it, it is a taijutsu move that cannot be done without the gates active, alot like primal lotus which requires atleast 5 of the inner gates to be unlocked in order for someone to use it. If you have a scan that shows otherwise it would be kind of you to provide it.
