It took 8 minutes for Sasuke to brainwash Sakura into thinking Sarada was her daughter using the Sharingan. He reinforced the idea into her mind in order to prevent the effects from wearing off or being broken, which had some side effects on Sakura's memories and personality.
Boom.
Actually that makes perfect sense if he did that to her.
In terms of Sarada, it would've been better if Masashi just say that she is adopted by Sakura with "reasons". Obviously design-wise, Sarada IS Sasuke and Karin's, ever since her first appearance. They're no denial about it because of facial structure and her eyes. Anyone can put two and two together. However because they have to follow the so-called fandom and higher-ups, it had to be Sasuke and Sakura's despite the stupidity and common sense of the idea.
I still stand by sakura is raising her to give her a better life but problem she has sasuke last name so ya that doesn't work either if she really wanted to do that give Sarada sakura's last name then no one can make the Uchiha connection yet.
Canonically, we don't know who Salad's mother is. They left it too ambiguous and no explanations. Even Naruto supports the idea that Salad is not biologically Sakura's child, but is her adopted mother.
Sorry, but all the "obvious kitten" does not convince me otherwise.
How did they concieve a child when Sasuke and Sakura have spent no time together? Literally, spent no time with each other. Even Sakura says they only spent two and a half minutes with each other at most. The Hiden novels don't reveal anything either.
How did Sakura know where Karin was and one of Orochimaru's hideouts? There is no way she would know.
Sakura knows nothing about Sasuke. I mean, nothing at all, and they still have Salad question her mother's biological parentage and even wedding.
I'm sorry, but Sakura will never be Salad's biological mother because there is no possible way she can be.
And hey, we have to take filler as fact because apparently all of the Naruto fillers are fact now seeing how that is the only way NH got development.
It is bull they keep picking and choosing what is canon and what isn't every time a question needs answered. One minute, something is canon and then the next it is non-canon until a question comes up and then it is canon again.
This series raises more questions than it answers and the answers make no sense and bring up more questions. So that 12 year old naked hinata dance in part 1 filler is canon?
That's kittening sad two and half minutes I really don't think you can make a kid that quick. The kitten hiden novels don't say anything what a shock are any of those even good?
