tend to do a great deal of damage even against the most durable of enemies. However, Kisame tanked it with ease and the only thing that happened to him was that he was pushed back so Kisame being more durable than Sasuke wouldn't really matter. As for getting pushed back by vacuum palm, you do realize

with snakes coming out of his arms right?
@Bold, the vacuum palm isn't fast because of their hand speed but because the chakra within the palms of the user is compressed and then suddenly released. Not to mention that once vacuum palm is released, the attack is no longer useful whereas if Sasuke uses chidori sharp spear, he can still move it around and control. Hence Sasuke has the edge in close to mid range combat because his mid ranged move is continuous unlike Neji's. Also vacuum palm is a direct precise attack with no area of effect, due to Sasuke being a very fast fighter, it is going to be hard for Neji to accurately aim it directly at Sasuke, especially his vitals. Kisame was up against four opponents, he is slower than Sasuke and has worse reactions so Neji being able to hit Kisame doesn't mean he can do the same to Sasuke.
Alrighty then, Sasuke doesn't need to predict chakra but he can still read Neji's hand movements to some extent, better than most shinobi anyway. Furthermore, you keep on talking about vacuum palm hitting Sasuke but if Neji decides to go on the offensive with vacuum palm, can't Sasuke simply chidori sharp spear him? Pretty sure chidori sharp spear is more dangerous as it is more lethal, can be swung around and maintained for an extended period of time unlike vacuum palm.
a) Hebi Sasuke is leagues above Taka Sasuke in speed, intelligence and endurance. Furthermore, a serious Bee destroys Neji too so what is your point? Sasuke saying they have to fight to kill doesn't mean he'd start using attacks that could instantly kill Bee unless he was placed in a dire position.
b) Going by your logic, pretty sure Kabuto also fled from Tsunade but I keep on seeing Tsunade being underrated because she couldn't land a hit on part one Kabuto. Itachi was forced to flee because he couldn't parry Bee nor could he overpower him but he did avoid his hits. Anyway since Sasuke is faster than Neji, he could also "flee", look for an opening and go in for the kill.
c) Sure Neji can evade chidori sharp spear. My point was that Neji has to come within arm's length to finish Sasuke off with 8 trigrams 64 palms but that Sasuke can simply use chidori sharp spear to finish him off before Neji can finish Sasuke off. If Neji decides to retreat from Sasuke's range to dodge chidori sharp spear, Sasuke shunshins and uses it on him.
You should reread what happened since Naruto's punch managed to do a

against Neji due to not being able to rotate in time. On the other hand, by spinning around, Neji and Hiashi managed to repel the Juubi's hand due to actually using rotation. This goes to show and should be obvious, that a mere chakra cloak has vastly inferior defensive capabilities than a fully functioning rotation. Especially since this cloak of chakra is

", doesn't have the spinning momentum which means there is no repulsive force hence why it is no where near a good of a defence as a full body rotation.
I know Neji can easily defend from chidori nagashi. Did you ignore what I posted? My point was that if for whatever reason, Sasuke couldn't move out of the way in time, chidori nagashi is an option to keep Neji from getting close, he'd no doubt sense the attack and stop charging at Sasuke, possibly even retreating, or possibly use rotation. I know that Hyuugas spin extremely fast while using rotation, but it takes time to start using rotation and speeding up their spinning capability. It is an ultimate defence even surpassing Gaara's only because of the spin and range. It ain't defending against chidori sharp spear in its infant stages before the spin and when the chakra layer is thin.
Looks like you didn't understand my previous post. In your previous post, you talked about how strong of an offence full body blow is but it is only an offence if Sasuke is right next to Neji but he can fight from a few metres away so he isn't getting hit by it unlike the Zetsu clone that was already on Neji to begin with. BTW didn't that Zetsu clone later on survive and gain Neji's DNA to transform into Neji himself? So that Zetsu clone wasn't even killed, SMH. Nevermind that, the same Zetsu clone that managed to pull a fast one on Neji couldn't even

Sakura yet you overrate the hell out of Neji and underrate the hell out of current Yin Seal Sakura who is much stronger than the Sakura that fodderized that Zetsu clone no difficulty. So much for Neji's 360 vision which didn't allow him to counter an assault from a mere fodder Zetsu clone.
Sharingan sees chakra, so it will see chakra build up. If I can see ants with my own eyes, than I can see a buildup of ants in an ant hill. Simple logic using deductive reasoning which you seem to lack. You're now using Shelke's logic who claimed SM Naruto can't sense amaterasu's prep because no sage mode user had feats of detecting amaterasu's prep. I agree it can't see the chakra network but right before Neji releases the chakra from his body, Sasuke will see it linger in the many pores exposed to the air in Neji's body.
That isn't the point. I know Neji won't get blindsided by Sasuke but we all know full well that Sasuke is the faster shinobi. Them having the same speed score in the databook means they are around the same level but Sasuke is no doubt the faster one. Databook has a very inaccurate scale because it doesn't have many number options, so a lot of shinobi with differing speeds are put on the same level.
Anyway my point in using snake summoning was to show that while Neji attacks the snake summon, he can't defend himself from Sasuke's blitz. If he does do that, he ends up not attacking the snake summon since Neji can't simultaneously attack the snake summon while dodging or blocking Sasuke. In other words, Neji can't deal with Sasuke's summons without dealing with Sasuke himself. If Neji decides to focus on taking Sasuke, he'll also have to worry about the snake summon being on the loose.
Face it bro! Neji gets overwhelmed mid difficulty at most!
I'll post this again, now reread what I said and try to comprehend it fully:
Rotation's Weakness
Rotation is a powerful defence and I'm not going to argue whether or not Sasuke can breach it but it does have two key weaknesses. The first weakness is the fact that when the user is stationary, it takes time to start rotating.

: Naruto managed to land a punch on Neji before he started spinning but the chakra emitting from Neji's skin managed to block Naruto's weak punch. Sasuke is incredibly fast and thus he'll manage to reach Neji before he can start spinning. Without the momentum from Neji's spin, Sasuke's chidori sharp spear will slice through the chakra surrounding Neji's body because majority of rotation's defence comes from the torque from the rotation which pushes out and repels attacks continuously as attacks try but inevitably fail to get through this powerful deflective force. This is because the speed at which the user rotates is immense and can change the trajectory of focussed precision based attacks. However since Sasuke is faster than base Naruto, he can attack Neji before he starts spinning. Basically

that rotation is a two part process and my premise is that the first part of the rotation won't be a strong enough defence against Sasuke's raiton. Another weakness of rotation is that the user is stationary and can't go on the offensive while using it. Thus the user has to end the rotation

which gives Sasuke the opportunity to finish Neji off with his superior range before Neji can get in range.
Basically Neji was

Completing a full rotation becomes even more difficult when the user is on the move since they first have to stop before initiating the process. For example, when Neji sacrificed himself to save Hinata, he didn't bother rotating or even using vacuum palm because it
