Come on, all this "1000+ jutsu" stuff of Kakashi was seriously nerfed in the Part 2. He's an active ninjutsu user, but mostly used the same techniques all over again (especially Lightning Blade), so it seems like the "1000+ jutsu" hype was either a bluff or just got retconned. Almost the same thing as with Hiruzen, who was known for mastering all the techniques in Konoha, including Hiden techniques, yet is shown using an asset of the jutsu usual for him, even as a reanimation (i.e. Fire Release, Earth Release, Shuriken Shadow Clone, just Shadow Clones etc).
