Gaiden interview translated by mezzomarinaio
This interview with Kishi, Sakura is said to have “become a mother through and through”, and where Kishi also mentions how deep the connection is between Sasuke and Sakura? Not Sasuke and Karin. Kishi also stated how he cut out the scenes which depicted Karin’s change of mental state while she was delivering Sarada? Further indicating that Karin is not the mother, because Kishi himself confirms here that Karin delivered her. I guess the extremists think Kishi was lying here too huh?
There you go kids, It has indeed been confirmed, PLENTY of times, that Sakura is the biological mother of Sarada, both within, and outside of the manga, so I really don’t get where all these extremists are getting the idea that it apparently hasn’t been confirmed, because that’s nonsense.
Quite frankly, Karin’s words at the end of Gaiden are confirmation enough, but I’ve just given a plethora of other examples which all prove Sakura as Sarada’s biological mother.
No one was lying when they confirmed Sarada’s biological parentage. Kishi wasn’t lying in the interviews, and Karin, Sasuke and Sakura weren’t lying in the manga, despite the lengths the extremists will go to have you believe so.

The fact that the main character of the spin-off turned out to be Sasuke and Sakura’s young daughter, Sarada, was also surprising.
Masashi: “That made the story quite different from ‘Naruto’ and gave it a fresh flavor, don’t you think? Sarada isn’t really the kind of character that gives off the air of ‘girl’, but I still thought that I had to somehow study the mentality of young girls and things like that - so I bought several HOW TO books like ‘Girl Power UP’ and did some research.”
*laughs* To put such a great effort in order to grasp a character’s mentality…
Masashi: “I had intended to create her character based on what I’d studied in the books, but… for some reason or another, I ended up applying the fruits of my labors to ChouChou instead of Sarada.”
Seishi: “ChouChou is a very good character, isn’t she. Since this spin-off was full of developments with a dark atmosphere, I think a bright character like her was extremely valuable!”
Masashi: “Things such as the secret of a character’s birth give the story a slightly muddled feeling, yeah… but by using a bright supporting character, I was able to keep the story balanced, so the end result was good. Among the people around me, ChouChou was also very popular.”
Speaking of female characters… Sakura, who in the spin-off has become a mother through and through, was also quite impressive. Seeing her trying to protect her beloved daughter with all her heart in place of her husband (Sasuke), who is unable to come home because of his mission, truly conveyed a sense of motherhood.
Masashi: “Even though they’re a couple who can rarely see one another, ‘their feelings are connected’ - just as Sakura said. If you read the spin-off to the end, I think that you’ll understand the true meaning of those words - so I hope that you’ll read it from cover to cover and experience by yourself the connection between Sakura and Sasuke.”
Among the characters playing a role in the spin-off, we can see not only some new faces, but also familiar ones from the original manga… it really became an irresistible story for 'Naruto’ fans, eh?
Masashi: “Even though it was to be a short story, I still felt a lot of pressure when writing the spin-off… I didn’t want to be told something like 'The original manga was so popular, yet the spin-off wasn’t fun at all’. So I thought 'I have to make it interesting at any cost’. Because if it turned out boring, then writing it would have become meaningless.”

Before the movie opening, you wrote a story about Sarada, Sakura and Sasuke in the spin-off published in Weekly Shonen Jump. Personally, I was surprised to see Karin - who in the past liked Sasuke so much - watching warmly over Sarada and Sakura from afar… what kind of change happened in her mental state, for such a thing to happen?
Kishimoto: “To be honest, that part was longer in the original storyboard… there were quite a lot of pages in which Karin narrated in flashbacks. But after thinking about it, in the end I decided to cut those parts out.”
What was the reason you cut out the flashbacks?
Kishimoto: “I had a feeling that if I explained what happened by showing the scenes with a flashback, somehow it would look expository and contrived. On one occasion Karin was almost killed by Sasuke just like Sakura - and at that time, Sakura went as far as to heal her. The truth is that those two, despite being mutual enemies, were still able to understand each other’s feelings… that’s the nuance that I felt inside me. So, I decided to leave Karin’s change of mental state to the readers’ imagination - without showing it in detail. Instead, I decided to put more weight into Sarada, Sakura and Sasuke’s last scene - since that was the really important part that I had to draw out by using those pages.”
