"To all visitors from Transylvania looking for the head of Voivode Dracula: Yes, we have it. Yes, he's dead. No, you cannot see it. No, he will not return and invade you again. It has been over thirty years, please stop pestering us."
awesome! so he SHOULD know more, but we dont KNOW if he can...thats lame. If he can open all, or even 5 (isn't that what lee did in the exams?) he would win easily.
well, the way I saw it is that Kakashi learned to release the gates from Lee, so along with that, the 5th gate. and its been a while since that point in time, so thats why I think even further.
Why do you say that he "clearly" has seen it before? Just cuz he recognized it doesn't mean he has seen it, he could have known about it and then connected the dots when he saw lee.
Neji? really? you are comparing Gennin Neji, with byakugan which isn't an eye technique to copy techs, to Jonin++ Kakashi who is famous for copying techniques with his Sharengan? Neji isn't as experienced as Kakashi, so of course he would have to use his eyes to keep up, Gai didn't have to use an eye tech to keep up, nor did the Jounin reff or the Hokage.
you keep saying this, but can naruto automatcially activate it at will with no time in between? iirc, i dont think he can, and during this time it wont be much trouble for kakashi to use lightning blade.

Why is that ludicrous? They weren't on a team together, they never seriously fought, I'm not saying that there is no way he could have seen it, I'm just saying it's not far off to say he hadn't until then. ALSO! We don't know if the writer thought of that either, and really, thats all that matters in this argument.
7 Gates Gai blows Sage Mode Naruto out of the water.
But I'd take Sage Mode over having the ability to open 7 Gates, any day. Now opening 7 Gates while in Sage Mode...
