I think it is kind of funny the look Sasuke gives Sakura as soon as she says that she has abandoned the leaf village. Naruto gave her a similar look when she said she loved him. The reason was that he hates people who lie to themselves, I think Sasuke is very similar in that.
I don’t understand why people have issues with other people trying to defend Sakura. Let people say their piece. Your opinion isn’t the only one that matters. What she did was totally understandable.
For one the confession. People keep saying that she could have just told Naruto the truth but people are forgetting that when she confessed, she had two things in mind; Naruto’s safety and the village’s integrity. Sakura only had one chance to convince Naruto to forget about Sasuke and if she fails, all sort of bad shit could happen. She needed to give Naruto an incentive to go back to the village. Naruto also cared about Sasuke. Sakura knows this but she’s not sure up to what extent. So even if she straight up told him the truth, there’s no guarantee that he will go back to the village. Sai convinced her that his feelings for her played a big part in Naruto’s drive to get Sasuke back, so she used this as the incentive. Yes, the lies suck. Yes, it is manipulative. But her thought process makes sense. Itachi also lied to Sasuke and massacred his entire clan with the village in mind which led Sasuke to hate the village with the desire to kill all of its inhabitants, but because Itachi’s a badass, people didn’t just give him a pass, they loved him for it.
Sakura’s plan to kill Sasuke is ALSO understandable. She knocked Kiba and the others out because she doesn’t want to put them in any danger. Her plan isn’t fool proof after all and there are a lot of variables she didn’t consider such as Sasuke’s intense hatred at the moment just right after killing Danzo but Sakura isn’t aware of any of that. She still knows that what she’s doing is very risky but she was acting selfless at the time, if anything that’s a likeable trait in my dictionary. Of course she can’t win on a straight up brawl but that’s not the only way to win a fight. Shikamaru vs Hidan should’ve taught everyone that.

For real. People just seem to view her actions as it is without thinking about the reasons behind them. The shinobi world is a harsh and brutal place. Naruto wanting to bring back an infamous criminal to the village is monumentally stupid, yet people’s main priority were Naruto’s feelings and making sure he get with the right person. As if any of it would matter if he dies chasing after Sasuke.
sasuke: I hate people who lie to themselves
