"Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage" Chapter 1 has been released, and at the end of the first chapter, Sarada saw a "picture of Sasuke along with Karin." Chapter 2 will reveal details of Sarada's parentage as well as the return of Sasuke to Konoha.
Sarada started to doubt who her real parents are in "Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage" Chapter 1. However, a forum released a spoiler that may clarify the parentage of Sarada. It revealed an interview with the Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto, which had a line: "Sarada, daughter of Sasuke and Sakura." This debunks speculations that Sarada is Karin's daughter. As such, this gives readers a clue of the plot in future chapters.
Sasuke left Sarada when she was only infant for reasons until now unknown. Growing up, Sarada never met her father. This resulted to envy at other fellow ninja's in the Hidden Leaf village, and doubts about her parent's marriage.
Further, Sasuke was seen in the last part of the first chapter, which seems to imply that there is a possibility that scenes about him would be seen in the "Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage" Chapter 2. iDigital Times stated, "Sarada clenches the photo as Sasuke -- from wherever he is -- feels his daughter's pain." Will Sasuke go back to the village?
MCM.fr speculates that in Chapter 2, Boruto would be able to know her doubts eventually. However, the question is will she open up to her comrades. The publication speculates that she is too reserved to do it. Further, it also expects that Sakura see the picture too, and watch how she would react.
The issue of who is Sarada's mother was also brought in forums, but one spoiler hinted that Sarada is Sakura's daughter. The Naruto creator, Misashi Kishimoto, was interviewed about Sarada, and he answered:
"Rather than cuteness, I wanted to project a slightly dark but strong hearted sense to Sarada. In my head, she is like a girl version of Sasuke. However, as it would be scary to have a Sasuke-like girl, I gave Sarada elements of Sakura as well. Although spectacled people are commonly given the image of 'cute without glasses', in Sarada's case I aimed to make her cute even with her glasses on. Her clothes have a sense of Sakura, don't they?"
It was also revealed that Sarada is the daughter of Sasuke and Sakura. It said, "Sarada, daughter of Sasuke and Sakura. Coolness inherited from her father. She also seems to have inherited his bloodline limit?!"
This seems to create the foundation that Sarada will be Sakura's daughter both in "Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage" Chapter 2, Chapter 3, and more regardless how the plot turn out.
