So let's clear this up about Sasusaku.

[Kirby1]

No problem. And yeah, I will feel like I wasted half the manga on nothing, especially since that has been the bulk of the series. I know the series is short, so there isn't time for BS red herrings.

Indeed! We better get a true confirmation on who Sarada's true mother is very soon, otherwise my interest in half the gaiden is going to wane even further than it already has. Hopefully it's Karin, because Kishi has overused the Red Herring cliche throughout his manga and now it seems he is using it in this gaiden.

On regards to something like this whole thing with Sarada, it's time he actually does something that is not a red herring for once. Truth be told.

Agreed. I just think it would make a more interesting plot if she was Karin's. It's obvious they are hiding something. I just hope it's not something useless or dumb.

Wait. Am I crazy or there are people who actually still believe that Sarada is not Sakura's daughter?

Yes, I am a stubborn idiot but I will believe it until I see absolute proof otherwise. By absolute, I mean a flashback of Sakura at least being pregnant. It would be a better plot in my opinion. As for others, well, it's more like wishing really, that and something being very wrong about that situation. They are lying about something, but no one knows what. We just don't want to have wasted half of Gaiden only to be told, there is nothing abnormal there. It doesn't have to have anything to do with Karin, but there has to be a reason for all the lying. If not, then that is just crap writing.

lol so you just want her to be Karin's for no reason? "Half the manga" will not be wasted if she was Sakura's, it will be just another red herring that not everyone fell for, the real mystery that was held half the manga is why Sasuke was absent all this time, and that was already addressed.

She could still be Karin's because we didn't get a conclusive answer to that specific question and we still have the missing birth records issue. But this chapter heavily implies she is Sakura's and Sasuke just left when she was like 3 or 4 because of this top secret mission that they could not tell her about. Sasuke mentioned this in the meeting, and notice Sakura is wearing the Uchiha crest next to him, that should tell you something right?

So now we can clearly say that Sakura was telling the truth when she said "Your father is on a really important mission right now" in chapter 1.

 

[King Of Pop]

That still doesn't make it right or make sense for him to not even speak/visit/write/message/etc his family.

while this is true however there is nothing suggesting, he and sakura havent been maintaining some form of contact. this chapter heavily implies so, sarada is the only one in the dark

 

[Torche]

in order to have a chance at fighting something more powerfully sinister then Kaguya.
​

Wait, what..? Really? Gtfo, that's horseshit! Something > Kaguya is going to be the mightiest of asspulls that won't even be believable.

 

[Natsu Shazneel]

Naruto should have shadow cloned himself and tranformed into Sasuke to save this ship.

 

[Supersocks]

Another thing that is obvious is that that he had all the time in the world to contact Naruto, see him, talk to the other kages etc in 12 years yet he doesn't just call Salad or Sakura for 12 years? Lmao the denial is real

You a fool homie, he talked to the other kages and Naruto while Sakura was pregnant.

 

[Natsu Shazneel]

You a fool homie, he talked to the other kages and Naruto while Sakura was pregnant.

Don't confuse fat with pregnancy.

 

[FemmeFatale]

12 years of never saying hi to his daughter but meeting/talking with Naruto does.

OT; The relationship is still shit, the way Sasuke treats his daughter is bad, but overall the chapter gives a good light to Sasuke by himself. Which was needed.

"Let's keep this mission top secret, being in contact with his family on such a high risk mission, would buy them all in danger. It was a weakness sasuke wasn't willing to let others exploit.

Did you even read your post?

"Keep the mission top secret"

Not, can't say hi, visit his daughter, or send a letter every once in a while, top secret mission. Dat NaruSasu tho

I doubt Sasuke was in mortal danger that he couldn't send a hawk message in the village run by Godruto.

 

[Natsu Shazneel]

On another note of course Sasuke wanted to keep this mission "top secret". He did not want to spoil the fun he would have with Karin. Sakura getting fat in the end is icing on the cake.

 

[Supersocks]

No fat woman would be holding her belly like that. She was clearly pregnant homie, stop tryin' to find dumbass excuses to complain about Sasuke.

It was never stated that he had no contact, she just never met or seen him.
Maybe the problem was that they are using primitive means of communication , which explains why Sarada questions it

So no fat women holds her belly like that when she is full? I guess you don't go out much.

He is only in contact with the people in that meeting, which are the Kages, Naruto, and Sakura. He probably doesn't contact Sarada to avoid potentially getting her involved in danger.

Yeah that's great and all but Sasuke can:

Teleport with his S/T
Fly with his PS
Use summonings to deliver messages

&

Newest technologies have given access to communicate with people worldwide possibly. So despite Sasuke not having the newest technologies, or not being able to 'charge' it. He still has what is stated above. Nothing excuses years without dropping by once. Once.

He is only in contact with the people in that meeting, which are the Kages, Naruto, and Sakura. He probably doesn't contact Sarada to avoid potentially getting her involved in danger.

Danger from what, how much you wanna bet they haven't found this enemy yet? It's understandable that when doing the actual mission, Sasuke isn't going to contact anyone while he is trying to find clues/track such said enemy. But that doesn't excuse anything in between.

lol, Sarada was already born and probably 3-4 years old, she is Boruto's age, and he was born before Naruto became hokage, Naruto is already Hokage in this meeting.

You a fool, The Last was inconsistent. Sasuke barely knew Sarada, she would have memories of Sasuke if she had met him around 4years old. This chapter retconned some of the Last showing that Naruto became Hokage around the time Sakura was pregnant with Sarada.
