Now my only questions are if Sakura is the first (or only) wife, and what happened to Karin. My money's on death during childbirth, I can't imagine anything else keeping her away from Sasuke. Also, for Sakura not to resent Sarada, I assume there's no chance of Karin coming back into their lives.

And I have no idea if this was intentional, but it seems like more and more effort is put into making Sakura resemble either Kushina or Tsunade in the flashbacks. Which leaves me hopeful that Sakura will eventually be revealed as an Uzumaki descendant, in which case it wouldn't matter who Sarada's mother was. And might explain why Naruto is so invested in Sarada not feeling isolated. Don't want her ending up like Nagato. Or Sasuke, for that matter.
