Damn people, there shouldn't be so much rejection for this pairing here.

Anyhow, I'd like to point out that Karin is not a parallel towards Sakura, she is a parallel towards Naruto:

I believe that Karin is gonna end up with Sasuke as the union of the bloodlines of the Sage give a symbolic meaning to the end of their conflict.

Yeah, I don't understand why SK gets compared to SS so much, if anything, it's a redux of part 1 SN, only difference is, this time the Uzumaki has romantic feelings for Sasuke instead of just platonic ones. 

SK in the Kage arc is almost a direct parallel to part 1's Valley of the End fight. Right down to Sasuke sacrificing the Uzumaki for his revenge. He even failed to deliver the killing blow on both occasions. XD

Seriously, he even looks up at the sky in exactly the same way, with exactly the same expression on his face while contemplating dealing the final blow to the Uzumaki. In Naruto's case, Sasuke's thoughts were interrupted when he fell to his knees and started coughing up blood, in Karin's case, Sakura showed up and interrupted Sasuke.

The Rinnegan is only obtained through mixing together Indra and Ashura's chakra. Sasuke's son would have to be an Indra reincarnation and he'd have to obtain either Hashirama cells or Naruto cells in order to obtain some of Ashura's chakra. Given Indra and Ashura's chakra only transmigrates every hundred years or so, that is beyond highly unlikely. 

Wonder if Sasuke's son / Shinachiku's rival will have red hair or glasses.

In my headfic, Sasuke's son has black hair and red eyes. 

Too lazy to check but she was also blushing before she saw Sasuke's appearance which could mean she is the only female on the show to fall for him to for his looks (which is ironic considering that her character is one of the most perverted)

Though I think him should have being overly rushed in that situation is overthinking it slightly (I just count it as an inconsistency, same with him using lion's barrage on the bear despite not learning it until his fight with Yoroi)

Perhaps it is over thinking it. I just really like that Kishi gave Karin a very tangible reason to fall for Sasuke: he saved her life.

During his fight with Yoroi, he never implied he'd never done this technique before, just that it was something he came up with himself. It's possible he uses an unfinished version of Shishi Rendan on the bear when he saves Karin. 

Not only that, he said 'sumanakatta'. It wasn't a simple sorry, Japanese readers understand that he was begging for forgiveness.

 

And Suigetsu said 'we shouldn't get between Sasuke and Karin'. And she was his favourite. And that smile! He hasn't smiled like that to anyone except her after tha massacre.

Very true, the Japanese short hand for that would have been "suman" that's how I'd imagine someone like Sasuke apologizing in a casual fashion. However, Sasuke doesn't give casual apologies. 

Suigetsu's wording is very interesting. He implies that SK is this inevitable thing and only he can stop it.

That smile is very intriguing as well. It's so out of place and out of character for part 1 Sasuke. We'd always just assumed part 1 Sasuke never smiled, so to get canon confirmation that Chuunin exams Sasuke was not only capable of smiling but HAD in fact smiled like that in the past is frickin huge. Then to top it off, the person who draws this reaction from him, without even trying to, is Karin of all people. 

How did Sasuke manage such a gentle expression when canonically, at this point, he should have been in full on panic mode because the test was ending soon and he was no where closer to getting his hands on a heaven scroll. It'd make perfect sense if he'd just gotten pissed she had an earth scroll and left, so why the smile? And why did Kishi draw so much attention to it? I really hope he intends to go somewhere with this. That's a rather shocking moment to just leave hanging like that.
