He had started getting impatient in several missions since he wasn't learning anything worthwhile for combating Itachi. He had just obtained the Chidori and tried to stab Naruto with it. Kakashi and Jiraiya explicitly told their students that they didn't intend them to use it like that, and openly wondered whether they even should've taught that jutsu. Sasuke was also developing fine, it was Orochimaru's influence that poisoned his mind once more.
