Except that unlike the Susanoo, which is a massive construct, Naruto is not getting hit easily in SM. Actually, it would be pretty difficult for Sasuke to hit Naruto. Naruto could dodge the 3rd Raikage at max speed in SM, and Sakura is not even comparable in speed. Naruto also has frog Kata that can also kill a regular shinobi with one hit. I'm not implying that Sakura will get killed or anything from it, but it will still do damage to her. She must deal with these invisible hits and has no way to know when they are coming. Also Naruto has ridiculous brute force as well. He stopped and casually threw in the air those massive Rhinos of the the Animal Path and with one kick he was able to sent the Deva Path flying even as a teen.

And even if Sakura is able to survive a rasengan point blank, i really don't think she can deal with getting hit by a rasenshuriken. Even if she survives, she gets her chakra network cut, and that's it for her. Tsunade herself stated that even she can't do anything about it. So i don't think Sakura would be able to deal with it. she can't restore her network. And Sakura does have a lot more chances of getting hit than Naruto who mind you, also has at least couple hundred shadow clones who may or may not be able to use big ball rasengan.
