it would be good because we could feel her pain and feel bad that something like that is happening to her. It would be in the same manner as when we felt bad for Naruto in the hospital scene, sure it was painful to watch but we cared for his character a little more after that.
She already has suffered the most of any of the Konoha 11 for love. What, you want to kick her some more to get a thrill out of it? Narunarunaru is right, way too many so called ns fanfics seem to take a sick thrill out of breaking Sakura, and distort her character exactly like the overt Sakura bashing fics do.
And Naruto's suffering, certainly in part 2, was totally unnecessary, he made the choice to blind himself to Sakura's changing affections with his own take on the Promise of a Lifetime- totally unknown to Sakura, and horrifying her when she found out from Sai. Thus her resolve to immediately end it by getting it through Naruto's head that she's been in love with him for some time.
Sakura had her first unrequited crush leave the village to willingly become one with the darkest path, he's attempted to kill her several times, and even in the later part of part 1 got scary and mean to her, not just verbal belittling but threats. Now she carries around feelings of shame about her past and disgust at herself for not being able to do what she thought she had- eliminate all feelings whatsoever about Sasuke.
Then with Naruto she made her love confession and he acted like an ass, plus told her he was still pursing Sasuke. She walked away from that scene thinking Naruto cared more about Sasuke than he ever had her, and thinking he really would hate her for going to attempt to kill Sasuke. (That was somewhat resolved when Naruto rescued her and was very tender toward her- she knows he still cares in some fashion. Naruto may not realize the emotional fallout of his acting like an ass to her, that she's internalized those words and is in some way punishing herself for what she perceives as failing Naruto. Naruto, on the other hand, is now confident of Sakura's feelings for him- see chapter 505, page 2, for his current mental image of Sakura in relation to himself.)
Compare that to Naruto- even in part 1, while he was upset Sakura was crushing on Sasuke- who didn't have any interest in her at all, he still had constant assurance Sakura cared about and supported him. In part 2, even though he stupidity was needlessly blocking himself from noticing Sakura was showing not just friendship and support but love, he knew she had a very deep bond with him.
Rather obvious Sakura has suffered more and continues to do so. This makes those emotionally shatter Sakura fanfics just that much uglier.
