During the time skip, Sakura and Naruto share a close relationship that bonds to a brother-sister relationship. I am just glad that Naruto and Sakura surpassed the Sannin Sasuke was the first to surpass his master, since he defeated Orochimaru. And before people start with the "he was weakened" excusess, Orochimaru turned Sasuke in a vulnerable position too. He was the first to show that he'd learned from his master.

Naruto is definitely second, since he achieves a perfect Sage Mode which Jiraiya could not do.

Sakura is... she's the only one who never explicitly got told she surpassed her master. But assuming she did, that's not until the 4th war, making her the last to do so.
