But of course acting like the woman who raised you and ending up adopting words like "Shannaro" can exclusively be the result of a biological relationship, right? Yeah, that's what he said. Naruto said she looks like Sasuke, especially around the eyes and probably even more-so with the sharingan. Then he said that she acts like Sakura and that Sarada's probably scary when she's angry just like her. It can be exclusively biological but then it can be argued that it doesn't have to be. Children mimic the people who raise them. Not ALL the time yes, but it doesn't have to be just biological. I have a friend who has raised a child from birth as his own and they're not biologically related. But his kid acts EXACTLY like him. In series we have Naruto inheriting his excited "DATTEBAYO" from his mom who used to say "DATTEBANE" when she got excited. YES I'M AWARE THIS POINT DOESN'T HELP MY CASE, but I've given two examples of both possibilities. When children learn to speak, they adapt to the way they've been taught, and also mimic.
