In the prelims Sasuke wanted to watch everyones match but Kakashi told him they has to handle the Curse Mark. Afterwards Sasuke passed out and Kakashi went to watch the remaining matches. Aside from Gaara, and Lee, Neji was the only one he was highly impressed by. Knowing that he aswell as Gaara would be in the Finals, and knowing how interested Sasuke was in seeing the others matches, it's very likely that Kakashi told Sasuke about Neji.
We know they were preparing for his battle against Gaara, but logically they would have the other competitors in mind right? If Neji won against Naruto/Sasuke won against Gaara, they would face off against each other in the next battle.
This is all speculation, but it's very logical right? Surely they thought of this. Meaning Sasuke would full well know that close combat is Neji's specialty and would refrain from it.
Furthermore, the Sharingan can share memories. Sasuke probably saw the others battles.
Judging from the page below, the seal would only come active if the Curse Mark tries taking over Sasuke.

It was never said that he can't willingly use it. He controlled it in the Forest of Death, by recalling it back by will when be decided not to fight. During his prelim match and in the forest against Gaara he had little to no chakra so it went active against his will, harming him. Even so he stopped it through will alone in the prelims.
Sasuke defeated Base Gaara. He lost to Shikaku Gaara whilst not in full condition due to the battle earlier/chasing after them. Him being able to use Chidori 2 times a day in base was a big deal. He used it once in the Staduim then once in the Forest and had to rely on the Curse Mark to barely produce a third one, which resulted in him being paralyzed.
Look at the damage Shikaku Gaara received when he was hit.

If Sasuke was in full condition he could have immediately used Chidori again to potentially finish him off. But he couldn't due to having used it earlier in the stadium.
Naruto defeated Shikaku Gaara with the Kyuubi and Gamabunta's help. He would easily lose to Base Gaara.
Naruto didn't have the speed to out maneuver Gaara's sand, nor the power to get through his Sand Dome, and Armor.

I fully agree , so now sasuke who is a cqc fighter is forced to refrain from it , completely.
It was never shown he can willingly activate it at any time either and struggling to control>=<activating at any time not to mention that kakashis seal would've still contained its power when it becomes active , but digressing from that , even if he can , wat ur basically inducing is a notion of sasuke planning to activate his CM at the very start of the fight , something that the higher ups would not allow

, which is why it was sealed in the first place and against neji this risk is intensified to radical levels.The only way i see CM gettin involved is if neji hits a couple of his tenketsu/organs but sasuke manages to avoid some with his sharingan/speed , then when most of his normal chakra is blocked , the CM would activate due to

, Even then he'd still lose the fight.

It all depends on three factors you have to subscribe to:
Can Kaiten actually block Chidori?
I'd gather no, due to the way Raiton works, it'd electrocute him 9/10 times.
Is Neji really faster than unweighted Lee?
Again I'd say no. It likely was a different factor, such as Lee not having any other precognition to interpret or otherwise notice Neji's movements. Of course, he still would've had to have comparable speed to match him, but it's not necessarily superior or even equal.
Is the Curse Mark going to have the same effect as Kurama?
If the answer is yes, the other two don't even matter and it's an automatic victory in Sasuke's favor.

This all stupidity on the highest level
Rotation does block chakra Point Blank
Lee and guy said lee NEED 5 GATES TO BEAT NEJI you can't get around it
And the last one makes no sense because it doesn't pertain to this fight

Yeah he would only activate the CM when pressured, as he did against Shikaku Gaara. With that his Speed, Strength, and Power would increase, well enough to be able to finish Neji.

, which unlike gaara's would do critical damage to sasuke's body , then ur gonna have him activate CM on top a that?:|, without me giving sasuke the benefit of the doubt the match ends there since the moment he gets hit by a jyuken strike he'd be

Based on wat exactly? ignoring the obvious injuries sasuke would've sustained in the fight prior , activating CM would make his condition that much worse.

, he'd obviously attempt chidori which would get repelled by kaiten and that would be the match.Now lets say for all intents and purposes sasuke started the fight in CM , with all the speed and power ur hyping him with , base naruto who wasn't even taking the fight serious was still able to visually track a superior CM sasuke's shunshin blitz ,

, while naruto was held back by his disbelieve and pain towards the situation , yet still showed he could perceive and react to

, which is much faster than

, so Chunin Finals Neji who is superior to Base VOTE Naruto in reaction/awareness easily perceives and reacts to CM Sasukes shunshin.Base narutos visual awareness , reflex/reaction time , taijutsu skills/style and physical body speed/agility are all vastly inferior to even prelims neji meaning neji from the finals easily tracks and reacts to CM Sasuke with ease if base naruto could react to a much stronger version of CM Sasuke while visibly holding back.
Then we have neji easily tracking KN0 Naruto's speed

, same KN0 Naruto that would blitz his base self , which VOTE CM Sasuke failed to do without setting up diversions while naruto was held back by his emotion and i know naruto's base stats increased in VOTE but not to the point where he'd be equal to Finals Neji in reaction and/or body speed. Neji ran through a army of naruto's clones , bobing and weaving around them without bein visually tracked by any of them ,

, displaying even greater speed feats than Finals Sasuke.The very fact that the KN0 Naruto which fought neji would easily be capable of visually tracking and reacting to VOTE CM Sasuke's speed easily cements the NOTION that neji would easily track and best even VOTE 2T CM Sasuke , much less CE CM Sasuke

, as his feats against sakon/ukon demonstrated

Sasuke can activate and deactivate the Curse Mark at will. Take a look at how he handled the Sound Ninja in the Forest to see a glimps of his enhanced speed and strength. He was only harmed by the Curse Mark when he was exhausted/low on chakra, like against Gaara in the Forest.
Sasuke wasn't forced to use Fire style on Naruto, he simply choose to use that method to lead Naruto in the air, to hit him as he did. And Naruto noticed him suddenly appear next to him mid air. If he was really comfortably aware of him then he wouldn't have been so easily kicked in the face without even having time to begin to block.

Irrelevant , even base VOTE Sasuke is faster than Forest of Death CM Sasuke yet even he could not blitz Base Naruto without Activating CM and using diversions first.
Which is wat diversions are for , he couldn't simply blitz naruto and kick him in the face or better yet straight up blitz naruto with chidori like he wanted to do so he activated CM and used katon , said so himself.

Sasuke needed to create a opening with katon to make sure that chidori definately hits meaning he could not out right wtf blitz naruto without creating one.

, so Finals Neji easily reacts to CE CM Sasukes speed/shunshin as he has vastly superior reflex/reaction/Body speed , Taijutsu style/skill and Awareness/Insight than Base VOTE Naruto who was tearing up inside due to the sad situation.

Sasuke was worried he couldn't test naruto's reaction well enough in order to avoid his rasengan and land his chidori since that would end up as a total wast for him , which is why he was forced to do wat he did.
OFF Topic: Ffs Naruto could've easliy used the time he spent crying to do this instead.

You're assuming that just because Sasuke choose attack like that, that he had to inorder to hit Naruto. Naruto used BSM against Kid Shin, that doesn't mean he had too.
- You must be lonely if you know what it's like to talk to walls.
- Begging a stranger on the internet not to speak to another stranger on the internet.
- Why do you feel you have a grasp of how i am when i'm barely here?
- Do you agree with everything he's saying? Including the part of base Naruto being able to visually and physically keep up with CM Sasuke?
