Because he's totally obsessed with her, like he is in love with her or something.
But really Sakura was a mother figure to Naruto , she treated him exactly as Kushina could, and she only hit him like a couple of times in the manga, most of the abuse was filler, and she only ever punched him to correct him.

She was absolutely correct, sasuke even said the same thing to Naruto during their first battle , Naruto have a twisted sense of right and wrong , Sakura did nothing but help shape him into a respectable young man, tough love needed sometimes
Also due to Naruto not ever having any family, it's understandable that he would confuse Sakura's care for him and friendship as something more, because no one was ever nice to Naruto

In part 1 Naruto vs sasuke, sasuke thought he killed Naruto , when he used Lees jutsu on him, and his eyes didn't change one bit, Sasuke knew that he would have to kill Sakura to gain power, but he couldn't ...
