Among his most outstanding friends we find individuals such as Kakashi, Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, Neji, and, of course, His teammates 7, Sakura and Sasukewho have accompanied him since childhood and have become their greatest allies, fighting side by side with him on multiple occasions.
While both are great friends of Naruto, many of the fans claim that Sasuke is the one who could be considered his best friend, while other followers differ, claiming that Shikamaru is actually. However, the character that could really be considered Naruto's best friendship is nothing more and nothing less than Sakura Harunoand this has been demonstrated throughout history with its actions.

We see this evidence in how he changed the dynamics of his relationship after the fight of Naruto and Sasuke and the decision of the last to leave the team, since, during this time, Naruto remained with Sakura and offered him comfortI understood how much Sasuke's absence affected him in the team.
Sakura has always helped and saved Naruto every time he has needed
