Its not his normal nature so he wouldn't have those two anymore. Too bad he doesn't have the sharingan anymore. Now there could be the battle against Guy and Kakashi. Kakashi beat him as a kid and teen but as adults we'll see. He doesn't have upper hand anymore with the sharingan. Hmmmm...

No, he'd still have them. He was only able to copy the techniques because his body could actually accomplish the feats. Any jutsu he copied is in his arsenal, minus things like raikiri which require a sharingan.

Remember, Kakashi became a jonin at 13. He was an elite at 13. That was before he copied over a thousand jutsu. His senses at 13 impressed even Minato. Now that he doesn't have the drain of a sharingan on him, he can use any of his 1000+ jutsu to full effect. He's still an epic ninja. I highly thought he even copied 1000 techniques. It was said. It was a rumor. And yes he'd need to use the sharingan to memorize and make it easier. Now since he lost he wouldn't be able to do water and fire. As if he used it. Plus if so. Kakashi with his so called 1000 jutsu copied ninja didnt think none woouldnt help him any many of the situations he's gotten in? It seems highly unlikely. I don't know where you get this from but if your sharingan isn't being used then you wouldn't be able to copy the things he did depending. Things such as chakra techniques he wouldn't.

It's just like when Sasuke was reading Lee's moves in part 1. He could read it, but he could only copy or dodge if his body was up to it.

Just because Kakashi doesn't have his sharingan doesn't mean he can't use the chakra natures. He wouldn't have been able to copy in the first place if he couldn't use the natures. He always had the inherent ability to use the four natures, so that's why he could learn them. Those techniques are still in his arsenal, minus Raikiri, whish literally needed the sharingan to complete it.

It's not a rumour that he copied over a thousand techniques. It says it in chapter 12, and I sure as heck know it says it more than a few times throughout the series. Just because his fighting style revolved around his major techniques doesn't mean he doesn't have the techniques.

The fact that he learned any technique from the sharingan doesn't mean the knowledge leaves with it. He still has all his techniques that he learned. We don't even know what techniques he's copied though. They could have been simple D-rank techniques. We can't assume all of them are strong.

That's quite true. I'm sure on his travels he accumulated strong techniques, but you're right, many could be extremely simple.
