Prove that Sasuke's speed was inhibited by a Genjutsu after effect. If Sasuke was oh so good as you seemed to blindly think, why did he leave Konohagakure after seeing Naruto was even with him? If he's inhibited, he shouldn't give a crud that Naruto was equal to him while he was inhibited. Your whole diagnostics contradicts the plot.

1) Sasuke was mad at Naruto being even and that his Rasengan was doing more damage than his Chidori.

2) He faced off against each of the Sound 4 and came to the realization that joining Orochimaru would make him stronger from their showing alone. The thought hadn't even crossed his mind until Sakon told him to think about it. This conflicts with your point of view. Sasuke wouldn't give a crud about 4 people jumping him and thus winning because of it. Obviously, he knew they were stronger or he wouldn't have even considered it since it came from weaker beings.

3) Since this about part 1, we are going by part 1. In part 1 it is stated in chapter 113 that the only reason that Kakashi even trained Sasuke to learn Lee's speed and abilities was so that he could use Chidori. That is a fact. So since he used it on the proof, his speed was at least as fast as Lee or he wouldn't have been able to use it. That is a fact in part 1. You have no proof from part 1 that says otherwise. Sakon => Sasuke.
