Yes, kakashi reacted because NARUTO is the one who alerted him. And people underestimate the sharingan. Kakashi reacts more effectively because the sharingan tracks movements and gives you insight. Kakashi was on the backfoot because he knows wbout hidan's ability and he wasn't gonna risk being scratched by the blade. And that wasn't purely a speed feat, that was kenjutsu. And I'm not sure how this is relevant because this all assumes hidan sees zabuza's sneak attack coming in the first place. And zabuza doesn't need to go for the head, he can just slice hidan in half and the same effect is achieved. Zabuza's sword even is called a beaheader blade, and he did go for decapitation against kakashi in their first fight. When exactly did kakashi pressure zabuza in close combat? It was zabuza that was doing the pressuring and got him in a water prison, for which naruto and sasuke rescued him from. Then in the rematch, kakashi used tracking dogs, which was a good move, but that wasn't close combat, so I dont see how that A <B <C logic works here.
