Or when Itachi came looking for Naruto and didn't seem to care about Sasuke? What about on the roof of the hospital, when Sasuke saw the damage Naruto's rasengan did compared to his chidori? Sasuke was fairly peeved. I know all of these examples are part one, but I still think they're valid.

I figured you'd use a bunch of part one examples anyway. And i agree it seem's Sasuke was indeed jealous of Naruto back then or you could say more taken a back by his strength seeing as he wrote Naruto of as a weakling prior to those incidents.Although i believe he was more concerned with his brother then Naruto per se .He took every defeat personally ,like when he got beat up by rock lee .He just wanted to be strong back then to defeat his brother so any inkling of him being weak drove him crazy.

I think people project Vegeta qualities on to Sasuke more then Sasuke actually having them .After all Goku and vegeta were the original rivalry ,so everyone sort of fells the need to Goku and vegeta all anime rivalries but i think Naruto's and Sasuke's rivalry is unique and more complex then that.

This sasuke we have before us and the one we've seen through out part 1 does not have a raging jealousy complex towards Naruto.He seem's aloof to him and now see's him as a thing ,as a obstacle or a road block to his way of peace.
