There are some major misconceptions going around about the sharingan that I would really like to clear up!
1. People mistakenly believe that the awakening of the sharingan or the sharingan in general depends on the actual vision of an Uchiha's normal eyes. This belief is why some people believe that Sarada can't get sharingan (because she wears glasses). This belief is so incorrect that it is annoying! For starters, when did the manga ever state that you need good vision to get sharingan? You need emotional stress, not good vision! Second of all, most of the sharingan's power's don't even depend on vision. They may depend on line of sight, but they do not depend on vision (keep in mind that line of sight is not the same thing as vision)! For example, Itachi was almost as blind as a bat, yet he was still able to one-shot Kakashi with tsukuyomi by looking into his eyes. About 3 years later when his vision was undoubtedly even worse, he was still able to use tsukuyomi and amaterasu against Sasuke. This is what I mean when I say line of sight. Itachi couldn't really see that well, but his targets were still in front of them where he could still look into their eyes or launch amaterasu at them (whether he saw them clearly or not).
Furthermore, let us not even forget that Madara used susanoo with no eyes at all!! Sharingan is basically a more power oriented thing rather than an actual vision oriented thing despite being an eye.
2. People really took Tobirama's analysis of the amount of stress one needs to awaken sharingan way out of context! People say crap like "Sarada hasn't lost anyone or experienced any trauma, so she can't awaken it". For starters, since when does not currently having any traumatic experiences mean that you can never have any trauma at some point in the future? Second of all, despite what Tobirama said, an Uchiha does not really have to actually lose anyone or have that traumatic of a situation to awaken the sharingan!
Obito awakened the sharingan after just seeing Kakashi's eye get cut. Kakashi wasn't even mortally wounded! I don't exactly call that losing love. Yes it is stressful, but people treat Tobirama's explanation as meaning that the Uchiha needs to experience something as bad as what Sasuke experienced on the night of the Uchiha massacre. Here is another example: Madara awakened it after Butsuma Senju simply threw a kunai at Izuna. The knife didn't even hit Izuna. Izuna was totally fine, and yet Madara awakened sharingan. Keep in mind that we saw this scene of Madara awakening it a few chapters after Tobirama's explanation (which lets you know that Tobirama's explanation was not a retcon of what happened with Obito).
In short, here we have two great examples: Obito awakened it after just seeing Kakashi's eye get cut and Madara awakened it after Butsuma threw a kunai at Izuna which didn't even hit Izuna! Seeing as how neither Kakashi nor Izuna were killed or even incapacitated, it is safe to say that neither of them actually lost love or experienced something too too traumatic in these cases. At best they were only scares! Essentially, a good enough scare is all it really takes for an Uchiha to awaken sharingan!
Therefore it is fallacy to claim that Sarada probably won't awaken it because she probably won't lose anyone. She doesn't need to lose anyone. She just needs a stressful enough situation. You may argue that it is a time of peace, but that doesn't mean that all conflict has ceased. There are still common criminals and rouge shinobi. Furthermore, Sarada is in the academy to become a ninja, so putting herself in stressful situations will be apart of her job description. Plus, there is still the issue of Orochimaru who will probably be after her. Between Orochimaru and her general career as a shinobi, there is at least a good chance that at some point she will have a good enough stressful situation to awaken it.
Remember, losing someone applies to the mangekyou sharingan, not the standard sharingan.
3. There is no such thing as fodder genetics! Butsuma wasn't particularly famous, but Hashirama became world renowned. Might Dai wasn't implied to be that strong, but Guy became a pretty strong jounin. Fugaku and Mikoto weren't particularly famous like some other Uchihas, but Sasuke became rikudou level! The list goes on and on!
4. To anyone who spouts that crap "not all Uchihas awaken sharingan" as their logic: I can just as easily say that not all Uchihas fail to awaken sharingan! Who are you to say which category Sarada will fall into?
5. For those who argue that Sarada is a female and Kishi is bad with females, you are wrong in the latter half of this statement when it comes to power. Kishi only meant he was bad in terms of developing female personalities! In terms of power, Kaguya is the strongest character in the manga! Konan, Temari, Tsunade, Mei and Kurotsuchi aren't half bad either. In terms of all the females being "pairing fodder", you are wrong about that too. Only 2 females were really emphasized in terms of pairings (Sakura and Hinata). Others may have ended up married, but they actually did other stuff when shown and their romantic lives weren't really emphasized. Take Ino for instance (especially during the war). Ino played a crucial part in taking down Kinkaku, edo Asuma and she even managed to possess Obito twice and save Naruto, Bee, Kakashi and Guy from the juubi's bijuudama! She also acted as telepathic connection for the alliance after Inoichi died! As you can see she did lots of things. The only mentions of the Ino Sai pairing that we got in the series were in the arc when Sai was first introduced and in chapter 700. Tsunade is another example. She became hokage and fulfilled many important roles as a kage. She seldomly mentioned or thought about Dan Kato. Lots of other females (Tenten, Kurotsuchi, Mei, etc...) went on to do their own things such as becoming kages or owning shops.
Therefore, if you say that all the females are just pairing fodder then you don't know what the heck you are talking about!
