Why is Haku even being brought up, seeing as that Sasuke was much weaker compared to the Chunin Exams Sasuke.

@Combat

The Sasuke that fought Yoroi was very drained from his fights in the Forest of Death and had to focus on restraining the curse mark as well. The fact that he could pull off defeating a chakra absorbing opponent, only proves how skilled he was. Of course this wasn't even Sasuke at his best in the Chunin Exams.

The Sasuke at the final phase of the Chunin Exams improved quite a bit. His speed was nearly on par with weightless Lee. As far as Part I is concerned, he was practically the fastest shinobi in Konoha in base nonetheless. Kakashi has never displayed Lee's level of high speed. Guy using gates against Kakashi is nothing more than speculation with no solid proof. So Kakashi is slower than Lee unless proven. Rank does not legitimize that he is better in every regard than someone holding the rank of jonin. Now this is kid Kakashi who while achieving the rank of jonin, has never displayed feats on par with VOTE Sasuke. Kakashi may be smart, but Sasuke is no slacker in the area. Sasuke just has the overall power, speed and stamina over Kakashi's intelligence, which can only get him by so far.

I'm sorry but Kakashi gets trumped. Kid Kakashi is a lot of hype and no bark when it comes to feats. Sasuke wins with mid difficulty at the most and that's him not using his curse mark.
