LOL, of course there is much Sasuke hate right now (as there SHOULD BE), but admit it: for one tiny, split-second there, right before he was going to shove that chidori into Sakura's back, he was totally everybody's favorite character. Amirite?
Sure, Sakura turned out to be no traitor (thank god!!!!), but I was pretty disappointed by how, once again, the series made her look weak and foolish instead of capitalizing on an opportunity for her to look strong. Not only didn't she get the satisfaction of landing a single blow on Sasuke, but what semi-competent ninja would ever turn her back on a person she intends to kill?! Honestly, should she have needed Kakashi to come in and save her behind?
As for Kakashi, unfortunately, I don't think he's a match for even a chakra-depleted Sasuke. During the chuunin exams, Kabuto said he and Kakashi were about the same strength, which compared to every bad guy we've seen since then, is pretty weak. Whatever. If the characters still behaved as though they had an ounce of psychological realism, I would say Kakashi bears a heavy burden for Sasuke (Sasuke is like the kid who tortured small animals and grew up to be a serial killer while everybody turned a blind eye), and this fight could be all dramatic and meaningful. But psychological realism left us long ago and this fight is just a cheap appetizer until Naruto arrives. Believe it!
Agree... it's just plain stupidity for a shinobi or a warrior to turn its back on an enemy.. not unless if you have a byakugan, which unfortunately, she hasn't.... it's just shows that she's much weaker than naruto.... to think that she always laugh and ridicule naruto for being weak and useless in the early part of the story..
