Is this a joke? Am I actually reading that part I Lee, a Genin, beats a mid Kage Tier opponent like Hebi Sasuke, whose reflexes are unmatched for a sizable portion of Part II - not until after Pein fight? Should I remind people, that Minato's best alive speed feat is literally shameful before Sasuke's?
What about his Kenjutsu that is only matched by Bee? What about his shurikenjutsu that is unmatched in the manga? What about Genjutsu? What about flight? He flies up and Lee is crippled after a few seconds of high tier gate usage. So much for gated speed. Not to mention his CS2 was completely undamaged under such a huge CS2 blast at the cost of a single wing, but Genin Lee obliterates it?
Sasuke has several options to win this laughable difference: genjutsu, Nagashi, flight, and just plain old CS2. NB at its worst again. Why am I not surprised.
