Was Sakura just humoring Naruto since she the time she saw him in bandages, or perhaps they humor each other? Reconciling Team 7 was part of the vision, as was keeping his promise to Sakura and to continue her happiness. However, Naruto pointed out that the primary reason he tried so hard to save Sasuke is that he strongly valued their friendship. It's something he enjoyed and didn't want to give up.

Sakura felt guilt because she recognized she just dumped all the responsibility of the problem on Naruto and when she saw him hurt after the fight, she realized how unfair she was. That is why she made the promise to him be with him and help next time.
