But of course acting like the woman who raised you and ending up adopting words like "Shannaro" can exclusively be the result of a biological relationship, right? Yeah, that's what he said. Naruto said she looks like Sasuke, especially around the eyes and probably even more-so with the sharingan. Then he said that she acts like Sakura and that Sarada's probably scary when she's angry just like her. It can be exclusively biological but then it can be argued that it doesn't have to be. Children mimic the people who raise them. Not ALL the time yes, but it doesn't have to be just biological. I have a friend who has raised a child from birth as his own and they're not biologically related. But his kid acts EXACTLY like him. In series we have Naruto inheriting his excited "DATTEBAYO" from his mom who used to say "DATTEBANE" when she got excited. YES I'M AWARE THIS POINT DOESN'T HELP MY CASE, but I've given two examples of both possibilities. When children learn to speak, they adapt to the way they've been taught, and also mimic.

Actually I was being ironic. Of course this has absolutely nothing to do with a biological relationship. That would absolutely defy the principles of naturalism. If you're being raised by someone with the same gender, you'll eventually share personality traits with them. That has nothing to do with genetics. It's never related to biology. This goes for both biological and adopted children. It proves absolutely nothing. Same goes with the Shannaro. While in the Naruto world, how you've nicely explained already, it is somehow possible to inherit such things, it's just as likely that Sarada uses this word because she was raised but someone who uses it constantly. My entire point is that there is absolutely nothing that proves a genetic relationship between either Sarada and Sakura or Sarada and Karin. Some fans are just... and I'm sorry I have to use such an extreme word, but obsessed with pairings. Therefore I'm merely criticizing the highly unprofessional prejudice that comes with their judgement.
