Academy
Sasuke and Sakura have known each other since they were six-year-olds and attended the Ninja Academy together. Sakura quickly developed a crush on Sasuke after seeing him eating alone — she was entranced by his good looks and calm, collected attitude. Sakura decided that she had to be rival with Ino Yamanaka, who also had a crush on him for fair competition. After hearing rumors that Sasuke likes girls with long hair, she allowed her hair to grow longer.

For his part, Sasuke was not interested in Sakura due to his goal to pursue and kill his older brother Itachi in revenge for murdering their clan. However, when six-year-olds Sakura tried to confess her love to Sasuke (she failed though), Sasuke asked her "Who are you?", she was so embarassed and run away. But when Ino tried to confess her love by a flower, Sasuke ignored her and walked away.

Prologue — Land of Waves

They are placed on a team with Naruto; Sakura is happy to be with Sasuke but he is indifferent. Afterwards, Sakura talks with Sasuke, who is actually Naruto disguised as him. She thinks Sasuke is the one who praise her large forehead, which is the reason she is bulied at academy. That line touched her, make her blush and very happy. Then she admits she wants to have Sasuke's acknowledge and attempts to kiss him, but Naruto runs away because of a stomachache.

The real Sasuke meets Sakura after he escapes by untie ropes, asks her where is Naruto. Sakura pissed because Sasuke change the subject that they almost kiss and said who care about Naruto right now. She thinks all Naruto does is fight with Sasuke, do whatever he wants and he is lucky for being alone, cause Sakura's parent would get so mad at her if she acted like him. Sasuke, who is also an orphan, is offended and coldly calls her annoying for not understanding what Naruto goes through because she has a family. This make Sakura froze and she attempts to be nicer to Naruto.

Their teacher, Kakashi, administers the bell test to prove their worthiness but Sakura tries to stay closer to Sasuke, who tries to act on his own. Kakashi tricks Sasuke and buries him chest down underground and Sakura, who sees only his head, faints in shock. When she wakes up, he is beside her and she hugs him, even though he tells her not to. She then suggests they give up but Sasuke refuses and she decides to keep going as well. Kakashi berates them for their flaws, starting with Sakura’s obsession with Sasuke and Sasuke’s refusal to work with others. All three later pass the test when Sakura and Sasuke disobey orders to feed Naruto.

During their first mission at the Land of Waves, they are ambushed by shinobi and Sasuke stands in front of Sakura, which surprises her but she praises him. During their tree-climbing test, Sasuke is surprised that Sakura easily reached the top of the tree, but acts indifferent. He later sees her give Naruto advice on what to do, which makes him curious. During the battle against Haku and Zabuza, Sasuke hears Sakura scream and is alarmed she is in danger. She also notices Sasuke is not with Naruto and finds his lifeless body, which devastates her and makes her break into tears, even though she recites the #34 rule that a shinobi must not show emotion. When he wakes up, she is so relieved that he is alive that she tightly hugs him and he comments how heavy she is.

Chūnin Exam Arc
When the team is offered the chance to participate in the Chunin Exams, Sakura is hesitant but agrees. Sasuke notices something is different about her.

Orochimaru then inflicts Sasuke with the cursed seal and Sasuke undergoes intense pain while Sakura tries to comfort him. He collapses in her arms. With Naruto and Sasuke unconscious, Sakura is forced to protect them by herself when more ninja show up to attack them. Sasuke eventually awakens with his cursed mark and, upon seeing Sakura beaten, demands to know who hurt her. One of the ninja mockingly confesses and Sasuke begins brutally beating him. Sakura is terrified to see him behaving like this and begs him to stop while hugging him from behind. Sasuke then comes to his senses and deactivates his cursed mark. He looks at her as she tries to explain away why she cut her hair. While recuperating, Sasuke and Naruto catch fish to eat but Sasuke demands more than the three they have. Sakura asks Sasuke to start a fire and he says three will be enough before leaving, much to Naruto’s dismay. Upon reaching the tower, Sakura helps carry Sasuke, who tells her that he is okay.

Kakashi arrives to stop the fight instead. Kakashi gives Sasuke a lecture that sacrificing the bonds he has now to avenge those he lost will bring nothing but loneliness and dissatisfaction. Sasuke thinks about his bond with Sakura and Naruto, and almost considers giving up his revenge until he is defeated by the Sound Ninja and offered to get power from Orochimaru.

Sasuke agrees and begins leaving Konoha. Sakura, who suspected he might abandon the village, finds him walking to the village’s gates. He asks her why she is out late and tells her to go home. Sakura asks him why he keeps to himself and he replies his business is not her concern. She talks about how she knows he hates her but, since they became a team, they have had fun together and seeking revenge won’t bring him closure. Sasuke agrees and adds he could have chosen peace but decides to continue pursuing revenge. Sakura confesses she loves him and pleads for him to stay, and asks that she go with him as long as she can be there for him. After a silent moment, Sasuke turns around and calls her annoying. She then threatens to alert the village of his betrayal but he sneaks behind her and knocks her out before thanking her. He then sets her on a bench before leaving.

She thanks Sasuke, which irritates Naruto. When told by Sai that Sasuke can't be trusted, Sakura replies she is happy he is back and smiles. Sai says her words are genuine but her smile is fake.

During the battle against Madara, Kakashi reflects how much his students have changed. He notes Sakura‘s feelings for Sasuke have changed, she still loves him but on a different level and continues to try to save him despite his attempt to kill her, and Sasuke’s goal was to kill Itachi, but with him gone now, there is no telling what his goal is now.

When Kaguya is resurrected and teleports everyone to a lava dimension, Naruto tells Sasuke to save Sakura and Kakashi but, after quickly glancing at them, he saves Naruto, who sees Kakashi saved himself and Sakura already. Sakura is sad when Sasuke says only he and Naruto must survive to seal Kaguya away but Naruto remembers that Sasuke once said his body tends to move on its own.

Sasuke is teleported to a sand dimension and Sakura, with Obito’s help, tries to rescue him despite putting a strain herself. When she thinks she failed, she begins to collapse but Sasuke catches her and the two stare into each other’s eyes. Sasuke explains he used his Rinnegan to switch places with her discarded jacket and thanks her and Obito. Sakura watched the fight with Kaguya from afar and is almost attacked. Sasuke is about to save her when Kakashi does it instead. Sakura then hits Kaguya to hold her down so Naruto and Sasuke can seal her away. As Kaguya is being sealed, Sakura calls out to Sasuke, who says they need to get far away. After returning to their world and being thanked by Hagoromo for saving the world, Sasuke and Sakura look at each other. However, Sasuke announces his plan to kill the five Kage and the tailed beasts so he can initiate revolution for the greater good. Sakura and the others are horrified. As Sasuke leaves for a final clash with Naruto, Sakura, devastated and angry, tells Sasuke that she can’t do anything for him but she still loves him and asks if there is still a small space in his heart for her if he ever cared for her. Sasuke stops and looks at her with a smirk, calls her annoying and knocks her out with genjutsu. Naruto condemns Sasuke who says she would have gotten in the way of their fight. Kakashi says Sakura only wanted to save him and Sasuke retorts he and Sakura have no reason to love each other. Kakashi replies only hate needs a reason and loving Sasuke is breaking her heart. Sasuke goes silent briefly and replies it’s part of their failed past, and leaves with Naruto.

When Sakura wakes up and learns Sasuke and Naruto are fighting, she rushes to the battlefield. She finds them rurally beaten and both lost an arm. She begins healing them and Sasuke tells her not to mind him but she tells him to shut up so she can concentrate.

In Naruto Gaiden, fans were temporarily tricked into believing that Karin was actually the mother of Sarada which enraged many fans. However, this turned out to be a red herring. SasuSaku most commonly rivals the NaruSaku, SasuKarin, and SasuNaru pairings.
