I won't lie, I'll always hold out hope that the anime will actually go with the red herring that the gaiden set up, that Karin is her mother. If Boruto gets to be overpowered with Uzumaki (Distantly Senju) and pure Hyuga genes, why can't Sarada get pure Uchiha and Senju genes?

Also, well... Despite the half-assed attempts to justify Sasuke's turnaround on his feelings on Sakura ("He's just a shittily-written tsundere!") it totally would make sense for a baby to pop up between Sasuke and Karin and for Sasuke to drop the kid off with Sakura, someone who he knows will raise her.
