Well, SS-shippers state that Sasuke first of all made sure that Kakashi could handle the situation and only then went to save Naruto. In other words, Sasuke cares, and Sakura thanked Naruto not for saving her and Kakashi (and considering them his dear nakama) but for letting her know that Sasuke still cares. ХD
I wouldn't say so but I think he checked. Because he was able to tell to Naruto how Kakashi saved Sakura, Obito and himself.
As I said in 680's topic, I think Kishi wants to make it subtle that Sasuke might still care, or at least that he will care later on, because the way Naruto is picking on him is pointing that way. IMO.
However, this is NOT a SasuSaku moment at all, this is just going the way it will all end. Team7 together again.
Sakura thanked Naruto for considering her and Kakashi enough important to save her no matter the situation. That's how I've interpreted it.
Sasuke looks like a fool to me. If Kakashi and Sakura died then Naruto would be affected in the most possible negative way. A disheartened Naruto means a huge battle disadvantage. Yes, Sakura and Kakashi are distractors, but lettig them perish would only worsen everything, including the narusasu-work.
True but I think Kishimoto is doing it like that on purpose.
I think he's setting up Sakura for something.
