Even if Sakura is still her biologic mother (which I think she is) it's her journey that the story is about. Yeah, but if Sakura turns out to be the biological mother, Sarada won't learn this lesson. It seems like Kishimoto is trying to let Sarada go through a spritual change and learn that a mother isn't defined by who gave birth to her, but by who loved and rasied her, much like Shin, who also needs to learn this. She's not going to learn that if Sakura turns out to be the biological mother after all. You could still have the same lesson of her learning it doesn't matter who gives birth to you it's the person who raises that is your parent and Sakura could still be the mother. If Sarada isn't Sakura's kid it undermines her character and Sasuke's which is the problem I have believing that Kirin is the mother.
