Like seriously WTF were the writers thinking? It just makes Shin more of a pussy. It seems Shin expected to be Ameno'd himself, since that would put him in between Sasuke and Sakura and so in maximum danger. Sasuke put Sakura in front row though, which goes entirely against his idea that these people would foolisly protect each other to the end. Since, you know, putting your wife in front of the madman is pretty much the antithesis of his beliefs. Plus, the way Sakura was running to Sarada, a Shin-Sarada switch would also have been very probable. And certainly a favorable switch in Shin's world.
