So in the War Arc (and maybe earlier) we've seen Sasuke get hurt real bad and Karin has always been there to his rescue. She goes like, "Hey, bite me!" and Sasuke is magically healed within a short span of time. That has happened more than once in the manga and made me think what if getting healed like that is not such a simple process (which only involves chakra). Maybe some of Karin's DNA slipped into Sasuke and got stored somewhere in him (or the chakra fused with some of his cells and the body accepted the change rather than oppose it (since "biting Karin" had been a frequent process somewhere in the middle of the war arc).

We have also seen Sasuke always getting annoyed around Karin when she gets all touchy and stuff. I don't think by the end of the war arc that might have changed, though he underwent a change of heart. I think Sasuke, however "evil" and "honor-less" he has been in the eyes of non-Sasuke fans, cannot do such a thing, laying down with Karin.

The claim in the first paragraph would prove Sarada's features. I recall a line from the latest manga which says something about evolution "only the better DNA is carried on to the projeny". I have always found Sasuke to be a handsome young man and Karin way much hotter and prettier than Sakura, so that would explain the looks.

About the spectacles, it could have been a parting gift from Karin to Sasuke (along with the photograph of the Takas) as I don't think Sasuke is a man who would carry a photograph all the way to Konoha (since he never was shown to be much attached to them). Maybe, Karin visited Sakura after the baby was born and learnt that she had a weak eyesight and so gave her spectacles for Sarada as a gesture of her love for Sasuke.

Damn you, op. I was gonna open up a brand new thread about this. Beat me to it. Anyways kudos :)
This theory seems really plausible(Sasuke-Sakura hopeful maybe). And I think that mass transfer was also a part of Karin's healing ability. Let Jūgo have a kid now, we'll see if it turns out to be like Karin(Damn, that's some way to stamp your DNA all over people).
On a side note, I hope Sarada doesn't turn out to be 'scarred for live uchiha' like sasuke. That'd be irritating.

I'd love to hear about anything you want to add to this. :)

Does not make any sense. By that logic everyone Sakura healed has traces of her DNA. Sarada looks like Karin because Karin is her mother ffs.

Besides by biting all he would get is some chakra and bacteria. The chakra was used to heal and the other shit would be destroyed by the immune.
Are you trying to say Sakura and Karin basically do the same thing? Sakura learnt medical ninjutsu over a year or more whereas Karin had this ability 'in her DNA' and was born with it. And about the chakra and bacteria thingie, how much logical does resurrection sound?

That could be a possibility.

I could really agree with you. It would be more reasonable. But as Kishi loves to troll us so much, I still definitely don't believe that Karin is Sarada's mother. So to say, all this "real parent search" was for Sarada to activate Sharingan. After all, this is isn't some mexican drama...:sweat:

I'm sorry but that "theory" was more or less built on wishful thinking.

Giving someone chakra doesn't mean your DNA is altered. I'm pretty certain Karin is the mother now, Kishimoto wouldn't rock the boat as much as he has and then go back on himself, it would be bad story telling. The next chapters should be about Sarada coming to terms with this and realizing that Sakura is still her mum regardless of her biological roots.
