I was going to say something like this, but with different reasoning:

A vigilante gets to just go out, kick some <posterior>, and leave.

If Sasuke had stayed in Konoha, he would have gotten the opportunity to train -- in between escorting customers, low-level assasinations, guest lectures at the Academy, guard post, etc. etc.

Instead, he went off with a teacher (who is more knowledgeable than just about anyone in the Leaf) and got to devote all his time and strength to training.
