I think one of two things are going to happen to gai and kakashi.
1. Gai will die protecting the others in some way and say something or make it seem like gai won the final competition and kakashi will start visiting the memorial stone for gai as well. Plus, he will hold guy in regard as a great shinobi.
2. Kakashi will die trying to fight and it will seem that he has won the final competition and gai will live forever admiring kakashi and admit that his rival has surpassed them
Obviously i don't know this for sure but I think it would be a really good way for their rivalry to be settled and would probably give naruto alot of inspiration for his rivalry with sasuke (and be sad of course)
let me know what you think and this is just a general idea.
