If you can't learn to feel for it in your body you're not going to be able to use it.
[ Sasuke may not have the intellectual know how that Sakura has always had, but he learns in his own way— like Naruto, Sasuke uses his body to understand. He turns his gaze back on his young friend, contemplative. He might have enjoyed watching Naruto struggle with the newness when he was younger, teased him until he became so frustrated that he pulled off something miraculous and inevitably surged past Sasuke in skill.
He knows, now, that wasn't how it went. Naruto had the kyuubi in him, he had a boost of uncontrollable strength. Sasuke didn't know until much later that it was his pain that both gave him strength and sought to destroy him in the same breath. Maybe he would have died in that first fight, years ago, if he hadn't had that curse— but then again, maybe he would have ended up killing his friend and remained lost to the dark and to hatred forever.
Lifting his right hand out of the hot spring, Sasuke offers his palm to Naruto. ]
