"Everyone"
She will protect Naruto more then Sasuke now. She may love the man, but Naruto is her dearest friend.
i think Ino is her dearest friend. girls have a connection that we guys can never understand. i mean they share their own underwear so that means something.
-
but anyway. Sakura hasn't really had many scenes protecting Naruto. just the time when she joined up with lee, team Asuma, also when she tried to stop naruto transforming into the 4-tails, and when she and lady chiyo snapped Naruto out of Fake Itachi's genjutsu.
-
But remember in the databook? it said Sakura was the only one that Sasuke had during his solitude. Sakura was his light in sasuke's dark. it is like a guardian.
-
Sakura protected Sasuke against the sound ninja, against orichimaru, the curse mark in the preliminaries, from herself twice. from KH11, tried to save him from orichimaru, against haku(gave him a kunai)
-
Sakura is there for Sasuke. to protect and help him. much like hinata is there for Naruto.
-
Sakura is there for Naruto, but to a lesser extent. Sakura does care about NAruto. i will never deny that, i just feel that Sakura is more suited for sasuke
