But I say ruined because he is married to Sakura now and we have to live with that and I saw genuine affection between the two of them in the latest chapter. Sasuke having a child with another woman perhaps doesn't ruin his character but it does do it any favors it in my book. Also having a child with a woman who stole his bloody and sweaty clothing and wanted to lick him in the in the middle of a battle doesn't make sense to me. Also the thing about surrogate mother stuff... that seems a little... mature for a Shonan manga aimed at male teens. I could be totally wrong though and you could be 100% but we will have to wait for next week to find out. Well he is married now, and as it seems happily married. That fact doesn't change. And a character is not supposed to be perfect. A perfect character is a badly written character. A character needs flaws, things the reader can't relate to or things the reader doesn't like, because that is authentic. Though as I said, I personally still believe the whole scenario was nothing that would put either Sasuke or Sakura in a bad light. And actually, Sasuke never knew about Karin's little obsessions, and nothing really indicated he was disgusted by that either. He seemed a bit bothered if anything. For all he knows Karin used his shirt as a diversion for Konoha, and he wasn't with her when she made all the "licking" comments either. Around him she was a bit touchy-feely, but that was pretty much it.Though of course he never showed any romantic affection for her at all. And you know, cloning is one of the most mature biological topic in existence. Espeically the way Kishimoto handled it. The choice of letting a clone die for your own favor, the scenario of putting one life above the other. That is a huge ethnic topic. Believe me, egg donations are nothing compared to that. If he covered cloning the way he did, covering the topics surrogate mothers and egg donations is absolutely nothing that would be a tabu to him.

Couldn't Sakura simply have said "yes you're adopted" and be over with it? It's something any adoption parent has to deal with, and given that this world had child soldiers and probably plenty of orphans during the Warring States period, it seems that there would be plenty of experience and understanding regarding these situations. Including how to tell kinds, in a normal way, that their mommy/daddy isn't their genetic daddy/mommy but still the one who raised them.

I don't really care about how it makes sasuke look, it's more about how it makes Sakura and even Naruto look. I'm still vouching for Sakura-Sasuke as long as that's the better option for the characters involved. I really do hope for a good, sensible conclusion to this mess that doesn't just explain this weird parenting, but also this weird secrecy. Including secrecy from the Hokage despite the fact that a high medical ninja like Shizune was apparently aware of this. Well we can't really tell whether it was poorly handled because don't know about the circumstances yet. Haha. And the topic of adoption is very... sensitive. As someone who has an adopted brother herself, I can relate to that. It would be absolutely understandable if Sakura was afraid of Sarada suddenly not acknowledging Sakura as her mother anymore, and as we've seen, that's what Sarada did at first. Sarada didn't have any understanding at all the moment she found out. She even said that Sakura was nothing to her. She was clearly upset and was completely out of consideration for the situation.
