Full Plot Summary

spoilers

As her group draw near to Sasuke's location, Sakura was about to pelt her companions with sleeping gas when Sai stopped her as he figured out her plan while revealing his own intent to stop them. Sakura uses the ensuing battle as a distraction to knock them out before moving forward with her plan to kill Sasuke alone, reminiscing about her history with Sasuke and failure to recognize his transition into who he is now. Back on the bridge, once Danzo's sealing jutsu ended, Tobi takes the old man's corpse so he can extract Shisui's Sharingan while advising Sasuke to finish off Karin as she would mostly likely become detrimental to them both. An injured Karin, recalling first meeting Sasuke in the Forest of Death during the Chunin Exams, finds herself about to be killed by him when Sakura arrives. Sasuke stays his hand as Sakura claims to have abandoned the Leaf Village to be by his side.
