In the upcoming episodes, Team 7 will be on a roof top where Kakashi "attempts" teaching Naruto Chidori while Sakura and Sasuke watch from a distance. Sakura will thank Sasuke for saving her from Gaara, to which Sasuke denies any credit and admits that Naruto was the one who did it. She told Sasuke to stop being so humble, that even though Naruto was strong, Gaara was [a monster, implying that only a genius like Sasuke could've won]. With both reluctance and admiration, Sasuke tells her that Naruto displayed power they've never seen before in order to save her. Sakura then senses that Sasuke is serious and looks on Naruto (who at the time has a silly expression while saying "Chidoir, come out"~) with a slight blush.

Much much later on...
Sakura attempts to stop Sasuke from leaving the village. Sasuke initially shrugged her off, but after emotional pleas from Sakura, in his kindest and most compassionate fashion, Sasuke thanks her for caring and puts her to sleep via a quick chop to the back of her neck.
Once the retreival team assembled and prepared to depart, Sakura comes crying to Naruto at the last moment, begging for him to bring Sasuke back. Naruto brightly smiles and does the "nice-guy sign" (ya know, the one Gai and Lee always do to make a promise), promising her that he'll return Sasuke. Sakura weeps even more while flashing back to the scene in the beginning of the story where she told the "fake" Sasuke that she thought Naruto didn't know her at all and was troublesome...and corrects that by commenting to herself that Naruto indeed understood her and always tried to cheer her up.

SO YAH, Sakura-chan still has a chance before the evil-eyed Hinata nabs Naruto away! See the light, Sakura...see the light before it's too late!!!
