Kakashi improved immensely. in Part 1 he was limited to 4 Raikiri before complete chakra exhaustion. By the 4th War, he was spamming it and using Kamui far more than before.

And even though Kakashi got immensely stronger, he was still clearly Zabuza's superior in combat in Part 1, and he proved it twice when he got serious.

What exactly could Kisame do against Daytime Tiger? He can't absorb it with Samahada. He can't easily avoid such a blast radius. I've seen nothing from him that suggests he can defend against such force. What's his plan?

I see the battle going like this. Kisame and Guy start battling it out. Kakashi fights Mei, with his versatility keeping up with her Lava Release. And Asuma keeps Zabuza busy.

I've seen nothing to suggest that Mei is as skilled as Kakashi with actual ninja tactics like deception and strategy. She's more of an open combatant. I see Kakashi dispatching her after a hard but quick fight, simply because he fights smarter. Also his Sharingan gives him a good advantage in Genjutsu as well.

With Kakashi and Asuma facing Zabuza, Zabuza is quickly defeated.

As Guy and Kisame fight, Asuma would join the fray and help lock Kisame in place for a moment, and Kakashi uses Kamui on Samahada. This will severely weaken Kakashi and he won't be able to do much else.

Then Guy opens 7th Gate and blows Kisame to heck.

I give it to team Konoha.

I do acknowledge though that the fights would be extremely close. I'd say Konoha would only win 55 out of 100 fights, and even that might be generous. I think they win though.
