I never argued that Zabuza>Kakashi overall, Kakashi is very versatile and clever. However, the speed gap is not as large as you like to think it is.
And there's no reason to think so. Zabuza has never shown to be Kakashi's equal in taijutsu when Kakashi uses his Sharingan, even when Zabuza was perfectly fine the only hits he got it were the ones Kakashi LET him get in.
2. Well let us see. He has seen himself form handseals. He has seen Kakashi form handseals before, but that was just playing. He has seen pretty much ever ninja in his academy form handseals. He has probably seen Iruka, a Chunin and his instructor, form handseals. And he noted that for the amount of seals they performed, it was incredibly fast. So nothing at all points to them being slow despite what you think, in fact all evidence points to them being fast, and "a few" is very rarely used to refer to 30 seconds or more.
Everyone's he has seen do handsealss consist of rookie genin who at that point weren't skilled at all, Iruka for christs sakes, and Kakashi who wasn't going all out. And you mention Iruka being a Chuunin like that means something. Shikamaru is a Chuunin... jounin by post-TS, yet he doesn't form handseals at an even above average speed.
It's not like he has much to compare to in the first place.
3. And panels are also used to convey time, if something takes a long period of time usually it will take more panels, or at least state a given time.
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. You'd have to prove it.
Which this did btw, it was very fast, and a few seconds.
No they didn't, prove it.
4. Prove WHAT? That in the anime, it took like 45 seconds for the mirrors to appear, when in the manga, in one panel they literally BURSTED from the water, which is an indication of speed? There was NO indication of the time it takes to summon the mirrors being 45 seconds in the manga, and they did it for dramatic effect in the anime. And the fact that they bursted from the water should say sumthin.
"Burst" from the water? It looked to me like they were just forming.
You'd have to prove it was dramtic affect.
