Headcanon, Kiba used smoke bombs against sakon and ukon and set a trap for them using a fake akamaaru. this kiba is more experienced than the one that fought naruto, he clearly learned a thing or two about decoys after that fight.Also, Naruto used a transformation jutsu along with a shadow clone feint to do it, two things that naruto has used reguarly throughout the canon, so that was in character, and two jutsu that  I don't appear to recall sasuke ever using in a creativity capacity. Naruto was getting tagged and bloodied but his uzumaki vitalty kept him in the fight. kiba was outspeeding him. Kiba has a way of actually tracking his opponent when he is blinded by his smokescreens due to dynamic marking. Sasuke kept up with haku's regular speed, his mirror speed literally was blitzing sasuke, and sasuke learned how to track and react to the speed but he more or less was in the same boat as naruto in that fight. They don't need to match sasuke's speed, they should be able to track and react to the speed, and they will use subterfuge to lessen the advantage gained by sasuke's speed. Rigged shuriken aren't doing anything to kiba with the speed he can rotate at. Orochimaru got caught because he stopped to catch the shuriken, kiba doesn't fight like that. he is highly mobile and rotates at high speeds until he gets into close range. he is a close range fighter. Also, sasuke stepping out of the smoke has nothing to do with the fact he can't see through the smoke. As I said, the smoke is for kiba to deal with sasuke'sspeed and to set his traps, prepare dynamic marking, and take advantage of the weakness this version of sasuke has. He isn't allowed curse mark. Sasuke doesn't use subterfuge the way kiba did with smoke bombs and decoys. Substitution is something most of the genin can do, sakura was doing that and genin like zaku were seeing through it for the most part. Sasuke legit uses rock lee speed to blitz his opponent, or plays mid range with shurikenjutsu/fireballs, or blitzes with chidori. his best form of subterfuge is shadow shurken jutsu and surprising people with rigged shuriken.
