At first, I doubted that Sakura is Sarada's mother. But after contemplating too much, I realized that Sarada is really Sakura's daughter. Why? Well, lemme compile some good points I have read in this discussion and also in some discussions in other sites.

1st: I think the only similarity Karin and Sarada share is ONLY THE GLASSES. It's NOT even the same in my observation because while re-watching some N.S. episodes, I realized that Karin has black/dark brown glasses while Sarada has a red one. Also you can't tell that they (Sarada and Karin) have the same appearances since her almond-eyes can be like that of Sakura's or Karin's (for me, the eyes of girls drawn by Kishi's are all the same except for the eye color and the length of eyelashes).

2nd: Maybe some of you think "Being with Sakura, maybe she’s probably heard “Shannaro” a lot of times, so she developed the same habit of saying the same catch phrase". Well this is a possibility of course, but there is also that other instance when Naruto inherited her mother's catchphrase ("Dattebayo") WITHOUT growing up with her.

3rd: For some who doubt if Sakura and Sasuke are married, I'm actually 99% sure that Sasuke and Sakura are married because she wears the Uchiha Symbol in her back (how thick-skinned she is to wear the "Uchiha" Clan symbol if she is not legally related to Sasuke, and I don't think Sakura would be that desperate). Aside from that, Kishi has more emphasis on SasuSaku's relationship than SasuKarin's.

Lastly: You say, why would Kishi put that mother issue on this chapter if it has no significance at all? Well, it has significance of course (I don't think Kishi would put that JUST to troll us). NO. I think he wrote that since he wants to re-introduce Taka again (as Taka's under Orochimaru, and Orochimaru is the villain of Boruto: Naruto The Movie) and this mini-series is a prequel to that movie

This is off-topic but I just couldn't resist to say this.

About Uzumaki Bolt, I know a lot of people don’t like him. I think Kishi has to establish a low or not-good or not-your-usual-favorite character. Of course he has to do that because by having that way, Bolt has so much room for improvement, just like how it was before. Naruto before is weak, many think that Sasuke is WAY BETTER and STRONGER than him, which is what’s happening now. Uchiha Sarada is the one likeable, having complex mind, being smart, and the INTERESTING one, while Uzumaki Bolt is a spoiled brat who seeks his father’s attention even though he gets a bit of his attention (through Naruto’s clone). But you couldn’t really blame him. His father is PRESENT but he couldn't even spare some time for him. Do you understand how that feels. When his parent is there but cannot be there for him, where all he wants is some time with his real-not-the-clone-one father. We can never compare the pain felt by different persons because pain cannot be weighed.

Ok that's all. Sorry if it's too long.
