It's not different. It means throwing up his life. Yes, circumstances might be different, however, the outcome is the same. Naruto giving his life. No one will let Naruto do that, especially Sakura.
Overall, of course it will be left to Naruto, however, I don't think Sakura will have no implications. Yes, she said she has faith in them, not that she'll not do something about it. Remember that every since end of Part 1 and beginning of Shippuden, Sakura wanted to do it along Naruto, to do it together so he won't have to do this out alone, they're both part of Team 7, she's always been feeling guilty for letting Naruto go alone in Part 1 after Sasuke.
So, yes, she might not be fully involved in their clash, however, she'll play her part.
See, you dismissed my speculation with Team Taka and everything, yet you made your own speculation. How comes your is more right than mine? This is one thing I dislike mostly. People saying you're not right, it's speculation, totally dismissing it, when they, themselves doing the same thing.
Luffy, I always enjoyed your posts every since I came here and you know I have agreed with you in some occasions and in some, not.
This is one of them.
Fine if you don't agree with me, but don't tell me I'm only speculating when you're doing the exact same thing.
Actually, it was about after the clash they had... They knew he had met Sasuke and the fact that they will have to face him.

Hence the you're going to fight Sasuke alone.
The only one stressing what you said, was Neji.

Overall, they were talking about Naruto vs. Sasuke and the fact that they won't let him do it alone, even if he wants to.
Yes, he still continued about the only one who is fighting Sasuke is me and yes, Sakura was thinking about that thing we're both going to die, that's why she was thinking in 573 about all fighting together.
In 573 was about everyone's feelings leading towards Naruto, not the situation.
This:

Is connected to this:

Because Sakura will be together with him, because Sakura won't let Naruto fight alone if that means getting himself killed.
Yes, the clash will be between them, but did it occured to you, that, maybe, their clash will be the new Three Way of Offence and Defense? The New Neo Sannins? I have a theory about this, yeah, might be pure speculation, however it fits some patterns.
Anyway, the idea is that from what we are presented overall, yes, Sasuke has been entrusted to Naruto to save him, but nowhere it said for sure that he'll fight him alone. And from what it seems, he won't.
As I said, you dismiss my speculation, yet, you're praising yours.
And as I showed you, I have evidential claims that
might out-weight yours.
So, please, drop the dead-diva attitude. Or how was the term? Sorry, English is not my first language, as you all know and my country shows it.
What you really want is not what you really might get. We all want NS cannon. Did that happen and went as we wanted? Until now, no.
Yes, Kishi has been giving both power-ups, but that doesn't mean in the meantime Sakura won't get it in order to be helpful to Naruto. As for now, Naruto has no counter to Amaterasu and the fact that the Kyuubi can be controlled via Genjutsu. We saw in Sasuke's meet with Kurama inside Naruto that the Kyuubi said Sasuke has a more sinister chakra than him.
This is where Sakura might be helpful to Naruto.
Yes, pure speculation from my part, but not totally out of the ordinary. Let's not forget that she was foreshadowed as the second Tsunade, Katsuyu will be automatically hers, or another slug, and slugs were shown to be highly resistant to high damage. Maybe this is where comes the counter for Amaterasu, for example.
As well, Sakura might get him out of genjutsu, as it was a bit foreshadowed back in Itachi meeting.
Yes, speculations, once again, but not out of the ordinary.
So my request is, next time when you speculate something, don't dismiss other's speculation, because in the end, we're both speculating. Doesn't matter how much it weights.
Team Taka is meeting Sasuke (Karin is on her way). Sakura said he won't fight alone.
I'd call that foreshadowing more than speculating.
But once again, don't throw in my face I am speculating when you're doing the same thing as well.
And one more think to add. Madara (Sasuke) vs Hashirama (Naruto).
As we all know, Hashirama had help in the fight with the Kyuubi factor from Mito.
So there was a female involved, a third party.
What makes people believe Sakura won't be a third party in that fight?
That was a very nice post and I agree with you, Sakura will play a major role in the future we just need to be patient.
