It's either teleportion or it's a genjutsu. On top of that, we really don't know how fast Sasuke is as the Anime isn't canon. It's just an interpretation.
So you're just going to ignore the dust on the ground near Sasuke's feet, the SFX figure, and the trail of blood from the sword? Nice.
You are also giving him an ability he has never demonstrated before. We do not see him make any hand-seals prior to dispatching the CS2 user. Sasuke's Sharingan was obviously not active.
Every time he uses genjutsu, he either has his Sharingan activated, or uses hand-seals, or both.
He has NEVER used a genjutsu without either his Sharingan or hand-seals. Saying that he can perform genjutsu without using his Sharingan or hand-seals when he has never demonstrated the ability to do so before, is giving him abilities.
I have also never seen anyone else trap someone in genjutsu using eye-contact alone (and without the Sharingan activated).
It was speed. He was already shown to be stupidly fast.
Also, 2 words + expletive...
OCCAM'S RAZOR B*TCH, OCCAM'S RAZOOOOOR 😛

Also, you have no way to disprove or prove that Sasuke was using Genjutsu. You also have no way to prove or disprove that Sasuke can't do genjutsu in a similar fashion as Itachi. In fact, we DO know that Sasuke can do Genjutsu without any noticable signs. See his fight with Itachi. The first half of their fight was completely had in Genjutsu and we don't see either of them do hand seals.
Irrelevant. Yes, they don't use hand-seals, but they do have their Sharingan activated during that.
In case you haven't realized, the Sharingan does allow the user to trap someone in a genjutsu with eye-contact alone. No such ability is demonstrated by anyone when the Sharingan is not activated or is not there.
We know Kakashi used some form of hypnosis with the Sharingan against Zabuza when he was fighting him (after Naruto and Sasuke force Zabuza to release him). It isn't illogical to think that more skilled Sharingan users would be able to fully trap people in a genjutsu using eye-contact alone when their Sharingan is active. That's how Tsukiyomi is shown being used.
So basically,
Sharingan active + eye contact = Genjutsu can be used and is shown in the manga.
Sharigan not present/active + eye contact only = Not yet demonstrated, so as of now, not possible to trap someone in genjutsu this way.
Hand-seals = duh.
Hand-seals + Sharingan + eye-contact = OVERKILL!!!
