All right he saved Karin in Part I all right but he saved Karin in Part I because he thought she might have had the scroll he needed, he didn't do it because he cared for her. He also didn't show any signs of affection. Yes he saved her from opening Jugo's cell but I think it's because he felt he needed her as a tool to find Itachi, she's no use to him dead (or at least at that point in time). And I'm sorry but I don't think he showed Karin NEARLY as much affection towards Karin as he did Sakura. In fact has he so much as smiled affectionately at her? I know he smiled when he first saved her in Part I but it didn't look affectionate. Also after the events of Sakura Hiden It seems he cared deeply for Sakura. Also if he loves Karin and had a kid with her than why didn't he marry her? To me it doesn't add up. Also it looks like Orochimaru didn't know that Sasuke had a kid, you would think that, as Karin works for him, that he would know she was A) pregnant at one point and B) it was Sasuke's kid. I'm sorry but those are excuses. He did the exact same things for Karin and he showed no romantic affection for either of them. This is ridiculous. He also smiled at Karin back then. And going with the unprofessional decision to risk the entire mission and his life to save Karin, although she was most likely already dead, knocked out and no longer of use to him is more than just affectionate. I can't think of anything more selfless he did for Sakura. He treated them equally, and it seems weird that he ended up having a romantic relationship with either of the two. Karin could have a been a small affair or a short relationship that eventually lead to the birth of a child. The possibilities are endless. You can not objectively deny the fact that Karin is without a doubt the mother. Only when Kishimoto hints that it could be otherwise, we can doubt it. Karin being the mother is currently an undeniable fact. It happened and there is nothing that disproves this. Karin was not known to be infertile or deceased and was in love with Sasuke. Him having a child with her is not more surprising than him marrying Sakura. And it would make sense if Orochimaru didn't find out about her pregnancy. She could have either escaped for a short time at that point or it could be due to the simple fact that she works in an entirely different hideout. Even before she joined Sasuke she didn't get to meet Orochimaru often and had to hear about his death through rumors. Karin is loyal, so she wasn't monitored. In any case, it makes absolute sense. Trying to deny it is honestly entirely pointless and doesn't really help your cause.
