Sai's words was completely contradicting because first he said she did it out of Love for Sasuke and then he said she is doing it to relieve the burden off of Naruto's shoulders, it was clear that she did it to relieve Naruto of his burden because thats all she was thinking about was Naruto and how much she hurt him she didn't think once about her "love for Sasuke" what makes no sense is why would she kill the man she loves romantically (Sasuke) for just a friend ? The answer is simple its because she loves Naruto more and even more romantically its been aparrent ever sicne Naruto came back from the two year training with Jairaya . Imo the reason why she didn't kill Sasuke also was because of the fact that Naruto wanted him to come back for team 7 as well , if it wasn't for those words she probably would have had a easier time at attempting to Kill Sasuke because from what I see , she gave up on Sasuke a while ago ever since she saw how much Naruto would go through for her.
For readers it's clear that she did that for Naruto, and it's proven on her flashbacks when the first thing that pops up is her saying to herself that she has to do this.
For Naruto it was to say that she was doing that for Sasuke.
It's the same thing when he was uncounciouss after Sakura showing how she deeply cares to him on the bridge arc, what's missing to Naruto, is he witnessing one of those moments where she shows that he's really important to her, he only saw her doing this with Sasuke and that is struck on his mind till today, hence why he got jealous after she said "Sasuke-kun" on 632 i guess.
The parts where Sakura shows "true love" he's either fainted, got poisoned and faint or got some misleading speech like the one Sai gave to him.
It's like a trauma, he refuses to believe that she can love him.
