At the beggining of the Shippuuden Sasuke defeated easily Team Yamato. Orochimaru have to save them against Kirin.

Sasuke defeated alone thousands of sound shinobis a point enough to impress Orochimaru.

After that Sasuke become a serious concern to akatsuki a point to Pein warn others members about him. Fought alone against akatsukis.

Team Asuma needed all Konoha reinforcements to defeat Hidan They only defeated Hidan in the second fight because Kakashi, Naruto and Yamato helped them. In the first mission Asuma was killed.

Kirin alone desintegrates Team asuma. Sasuke didn't even need to use Kirin

A simply Genjutsu knock out Asuma and Shikamaru. Hebi Sasuke Genjutsu is strong enough to control the Kyuubi inside Naruto's body and control Orochimaru's dimension. Juugo who is more strong than Ino, Choji and Shikamaru is easily controled by a simply look in sasuke's eye.

With a Shunshin Sasuke can handle easily Ino, Chouji and Shikamaru. Yamato, Naruto, Sai and even akatsukis like Deidara and Tobi could not handle sasuke's speed at that time.

Asuma is the weakest Jounin. Hidan the most pathetic Akatsuki killed him easily. Sasuke at that time fought alone againsts Rank S Shinobis. Asuma is a joke compared to Orochimaru, Deidara and Itachi.

Ino and Chouji are useless. They did nothing against Hidan and Kakuzu. Kakashi saved them all the time.

Shikamaru is only smart but didn't have any powerfull jutsu and exceptional speed. Asuma, Ino and Chouji aren't strong enough to protect Shikamaru while he is thinking against Sasuke.

Hebi Sasuke isn't a dork like Hidan He is the most inteligent version of Sasuke in Shippuuden series with his excepcional estrategy sense like he showed against Deidara and Itachi and even Madara recognized his battle sense. Sasuke with his superior speed, jutsus, genjutsu mastery, Cursed seal + Kirin team Asuma stands no chance.

Not to mention powerfulls kuchiyoses like Manda who can easily kill team asuma or at least serve as distraction to Sasuke kill them.
