At the very least, I do believe Karin will bring up the team, rather than individual. If anyone going to get one, it's most definitely be Naruto because all hope was lost for Sasuke becoming "normal" again until Naruto shows up the scene. Funny enough, it happened after Karin gave up on Sasuke. I feel like Naruto changed all that for all of them. That one panel of Karin tells me something that she either felt something from Sasuke (chakra sense) or perhaps thought over Naruto's words. That panel, much like Sakura's panel in 615, must have a reason. If anything, I can see her rooting for Naruto to help Sasuke. I don't know.
Funny that you mention about consequences, because honestly if SK happens, there's nothing but good out of it. Maybe the bad part will be on the fans as in "Ah man, what the hell Sasuke got someone!?" but I digress.
SS brings a bad moral and leave Naruto in a horrible defeat. Say what you want, but no matter what, this is the fans' defeat. NH will destroy all the reasons to keep supporting Naruto if he can jump anywhere. That's basically saying, "About Sasuke, I decided to leave him be, because I believe he can do whatever he wants. I don't need to save him." NS, well do I need to say it?

Look at tricksie, Nate River, Codus N, Manga reader, T XD, and many others who are NS fans and believe in the pairing, but at the same time they are open minded about the Manga small possibility to head another direction just like myself.
1st Bolded, Karin have zero reason to talk about the team since Sasuke already have a team, if she likes Sasuke and she wants to give him a change (even when I believe she shouldn't) she need to know what Sasuke felt for Sakura and why he choosing her over Sakura.
She needs to know if there was an history between them, that way she doesn't feel 2nd to her.
2nd and 3rd Bolded you just proved to be just like those typical NH fan who wish for SS or for Sakura to keep loving Sasuke to keep her out of the way of NH, I liked SK in the past and I still have some of those feelings, but like you said SS is bad for Naruto, and possible a terrible pairing ass well, well I believe SK is bad for the story, for female integrity and for Karin ass well,
Sorry to all SK and SK/NS fans since I also believe that SK is a terrible pairing, this is coming from someone who wished to no end that Sasuke would open up to Karin in the past.
Also you know what I like about the NS fandom the most? Is that they don't need Sasuke to fall for another girl that way Sakura is available for Naruto, if anything I personally will like for Sasuke to have some kind of feelings for her and for Sakura to tell him thanks but no thank, thanks to him stepping away from her life the way he did she was able to notice a great man for who she has fallen for and believes that he is the only man who really deserves her love and devotion.
Something like this would completely restore Sakura's dignity since I care about Naruto but I also care about her, not only Naruto.
