Thread:174056 I think you mean plagiarized since 'plagiated' isn't a word. I feel people are just making educated guesses which isn't plagiarizing your post in any way unless performed intentionally and by restating your reasoning.

Anywho, DNA is tricky, along with this umbilical cord theory in general. That's why I previously stated this theory as being interesting. Let's begin, shall we? If Suigetsu knew that sample (possibly umbilical cord) was in fact a piece of Karin's genetic make up, wouldn't Suigetsuthen know where that sample came from, or does he magically say, "Yep, that there Petri dish is definitely an umbilical cord and is totally Karin's." Since he must know where the sample came from then, according to the umbilical cord theory he must know this is Karin and Sarada's shared umbilical cord. So why would he need to run a DNA test then, he should know that is Karin's child because he knew the sample (maybe umbilical cord) was Karin's which means he was at the supposed birth of Sarada by the womb of Karin.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that Suigetsu instinctively knows that that DNA sample in some Petri dish in a desk drawer belongs to Karin, and Karin alone. Now, here is where I begin my analysis. An umbilical cord is made up of the DNA of the fetus alone (50% mother/50% father), it protrudes from the fetus around the fifth week of pregnancy and attaches itself to the mother's placenta. So if that DNA sample is an umbilical cord, then that sample is Sarada's DNA, not Karin's. With this in mind then, (that the umbilical cord is Sarada's), that does not Kmean Karin is her mother in any way. In fact, it only means that sample (whatever it may end up being) is entirely Sarada's makeup. The premises of this umbilical cord theory then hit a dead end.

Thus, there are two distinct possibilities that we can side with.

1. Sarada is the daughter of Sasuke and Sakura 2. Sarada is the daughter of Sasuke and Karin

There is no sound DNA evidence that can truly support either side, except for the characters tics and abilities we have seen from Sarada thus far. Here's why:

- We don't know the make up of the DNA sample - We don't even know what the DNA sample is - We don't know Sarada's DNA make up either

Realistically, the only possible things we could know for sure are:

- Sasuke is the father of Sarada - Sakura has been Sarada's loving, real, and physical mother for her entire life - Sarada has displayed characteristics and abilities resembling both Sakura and Sasuke in our eyes, and in the eyes of characters in the actual manga - Sarada has not shown characteristics of Karin let alone the Uzumaki bloodline. - The apparent scar on Sarada's stomach on the new movie art may hold a key point in understanding this "Who are my parents?" situation

My own theories:

- Sasuke and Sakura are the parents - Karin either aided in the birthing of Sarada or later in life when Sarada was sick possibly - The apparent scar Sarada has, as previously stated, is possibly because of medical ninjutsu used by Karin to heal Sarada, OR because of a transplant

A bit lengthy, but I hope this aids the discussion.
