The whole back and forth thing took over half of the spin-off already. Oh she lives with Sakura; Oh she has the same glasses as Karin; Oh Naruto says she is like Sakura; Oh her parents act weird when she asks if Sakura is her mother, it was already a huge thing and I'm more than just certain that the DNA test put an end to this and this doesn't even seem something like Kishimoto would end up changing. It's like I explained in an earlier comment, this is all about learning about the definition of a mother. Now Sarada refuses to help her mother because she's not her biological mother. I don't think Kishimoto is going to change that, because Sarada needs to learn that a mother isn't defined by who gave birth to her, because that's also the point he made through Sakura's speech. Sarada learning to love her mother for what she has done and not for whether she has given birth to her or not sounds like Kishimoto. Her finding out that Sakura is the mother and being like "Oh, so she is my mother. Alright, we can go save her now. Now I can love her" doesn't. Even if it gets revealed after Sarada reawakens her feelings for her mother. It would ruin it all. It would ruin Kishimoto's very own message that motherhood doesn't necessarily have to do with biology. Given Sakura's speech about how a family is connected through feelings, not through genes, it's beyond unlikely Sakura will end up being the biological mother.
