Helena, hardly she will fight back... Sakura is the most human character of the series, I doubt she'll be able to do something big as Naruto and Sasuke does. Even Kakashi is a total failure. The sensei of team 7 only appears to downplay himself, the only time Kakashi shined was against Zabuza, wich he had a bad time to defeat...
If Sakura falls in the genjutsu world, probably we'll see her interacting with a atentious Sasuke like in RTN movie. It's already rooted in her character, she is fated to have feelings for Sasuke. It's on her deepest emotions, the Mugen Tsukuyomi world just represents one's truest and dearest wishes.
I don't know if you guys remember this, but this was the reason Naruto realized for why he loves her so much. As Naruto does, Sakura just want to be accepted and recognized by someone she appreciates. Sasuke will recognize Sakura, it's fated, Kishimoto will write it, probably by the end of this arc. But I also don't believe there will be more than it. He'll just recognize her as he did when he abandoned the village. This emotion for Sasuke is a HUGE HOLE in Sakura's character and it HAS to be fulfilled. The same goes for Hinata, Kishimoto owns her an closure. I believe that only one couple will be officialized in the end, but I don't think that the rest of them will be just left forgotten without any story to tell. This situation that Sakura is in can be interpreted in two ways: Or Kishimoto is preparing the scene that will give her love for Sasuke a "case closed" status, or he is really making her get over her feelings for him painfully and butthurted, what just KILLS her purpose as character. Sakura can mature, she's a sensive and rational girl. She'll not change for real by getting hurt, after all, the story shows us every time that no hurt can undone someone's feelings. Also, if she doesn't think about her feelings for Sasuke with her heart clean, there's no way for her to love Naruto forsooth. She have to put them on a balance and think who's really make her feel more happy and confortable. She have to consider this rationally. Or else, she failed her point as a character (or Kishimoto failed her).
But well, this is me reading the story expecting Kishimoto to fulfill his job as a writer. I believe that he knows what he's doing. And I have a little perspective of it.
It comes from Kishimoto's writing style this thing of unilateral undying pure passion. Did you notice that almost all of his characters doesn't have a healthy love life? The only ones who truly had (Minato & Kushina and Yahiko & Konan) died tragically. It comes alot from his personal life. This karma relationship between Naruto and Sakura (and several characters), taking reference from a radio interview on Japan with Kishimoto and his wife, came from his own love life. When Kishimoto was a teenager, he entered in a baseball group in his school (what inspired him to write BENCH, wich was a failure and refused by all editors he presented the first oneshot for being "too heavy for young boys", the shonen genre). He was in love with a girl who was in love with the team's capitain who didn't cared for anyone. Apparently nothing have gone right for any of them (or she have started to date the capitain), he got transfered and never saw the girl anymore... Then, 3 years later he and this girl reunited at college and started to know each other very well. She was single at that time, but nowadays this girl is his wife. Only a few people know about this interview, I just have this information because a friend of mine who lived in Japan and heared the whole interview. As there's no way of how to prove it, being an extra-official interview non relationated with JUMP's productions, it's not well spoken. But, well, if it's true, you can start to understand why Kishimoto puts his characters in such heavy love karma. Well, almost all writers do reflect things of their personal lifes on their stories, so it's understandable. If he have empathy for all of them, it's certain that they'll have an nice conclusion.
I really wrote this too fast, I don't have time to revise it... Do you want me to reply you in brbr huehue? Se quiser, eu posso. Escrevo bem melhor em minha língua materna do que em inglês...
It's good to see people that have the same views as me. It's good that nobody labelled you as a troll.
I had no idea that his wife had anything to do with Sakura. Do we have physical proof of the roots of this relationship? I find it strange that we never heard of it before.
I'm just hoping Sakura will still get to contribute in future chapters and that one shot attack won't be it for her.
