Until Sasuke and Sakura themselves say that Karin is the mother, I wont believe it. Do people honestly believe that the DNA match of some random item that Suigetsu found in Karin's desk is proof that she is Sarada's mother? The girl who stalks Sasuke? The girl who Sasuke doesn't even love? It's like people completely forgot that Kishi has been known to troll on multiple occasions and started retconning previously established things every few chapters during the war arc lol. Honestly, Karin being the mother makes no sense. Sasuke loves and married Sakura and has literally shown no interest in Karin, why would he have a child with her? Also, even if the random item is an umbilical cord and it's true that Karin and Sarada's DNA matches. That doesn't mean she is her mother, if anything, I'm more inclined to believe all of the whole surrogate mother theories. Sasuke and Sakura did indeed conceive Sarada, but Sakura was unable to carry her for some reason, so Karin did instead. Regardless, Gaiden is gonna end in a few chapters anyway so we'll find out the truth soon once Sasuke and Sakura are confronted by Sarada about this.
