Drawing blank,

Incorrect. Wood clones and shadow clones are practically the same thing with some subtle differences. Tobirama invented shadow clones based on his brother's wood clones. Madara explicitly stated he fought against wood clones, this is canon, not up for debate. His experience fighting wood clones therefore transitions to shadow clones. He canonically was able to tell the difference between hashirama's wood clones and the original, and he could also tell the difference between naruto's shadow clones and the origninal. This is canon. As long as he has his sharingan or rinnegan activated, he can tell the difference. Kakazu had no such ability. I have already repeated this like 3 times, and you keep saying the same things. Kakazu was never explicitly stated to have fought a skilled shadow clone/wood clone user. Madara was, that is the difference. So no, kakazu had no verifable experience against shadow clones/wood clones, and that's why his defeat, despite his experience, was inevitable and believable. Naruto simply used all that experience against kakazu as kakazu thought that the kage bunshin were strictly diversionary, and had never faced someone smart enough to actually place themselves amongst a diversion. Kakazu's experience and analysis told him that the real naruto would always be holding the rasenshuriken, he didn't think clones were actually capable of weilding such a high level jutsu, nor did he realize that when you face shadow clones you have no way of telling a clone from an orgininal, so he made the mistake of assuming that the naruto in back was the real one. Experience doesn't gaurantee a win depending on context, which you are ignoring. IF you have the right amount, type, and quality of experience you will always have an edge over your opponent sufficent you have a good arsenal and the stat difference isn't too big. Obviously, no amount of experience can save you if your opponent is fast enough to speed blitz you before you can mentally react, hence why Might guy's night moth could solo 99 percent of the verse.
