The mystery behind the pregnancy.
The mystery behind the pregnancy.
Now this is a theory sparked by a crosstagger and here it is so that you can see the post in its entirety,
Some of the pictures used in this post is by this anti post: neverbelieveinthat.tumblr.com
I will not be talking about everything in the post but just a part of the post. This part of the post I have the most evidence on. So, without further a due let’s get into it.
Okay here is the picture in question.
As you can see the poster has put a red circle indicating that Sakura is not wearing the Uchiha crest however upon further inspection of several post from Raw to the most recent translations. I have found that she is wearing the crest. In this particular manga cap it is just not visible. Here is my finding.
Recent translation; The crest is there but I’m guessing the pixels compressed or something when it was being translated that it’s almost invisible.
Conclusion she is married to Sasuke.
This is just speculation from here on out. I got to these conclusions because I have been researching about Sakura being pregnant since the beginning of the Gaiden. I’ll add more to this when we get further in the manga.
Now onto the other theory that Sakura is expecting. Well, if you look at their comparison they are comparing Sakura’s child bearing to the later stages of Kurenai and Kushina’s pregnancies. Now I understand why they would want to do that but Sakura’s belly is noticeably smaller than Kurenai and Kushina’s in the picture that they used.
Well what if Sakura is in the earlier stages of the pregnancy. Women typically show a smaller bump at about 12 to 22 weeks. Now that makes way more sense for Sakura to be in the earlier stages of her pregnancy. So, comparing her to Kurenai and Kushina 8-9 month pictures would make no sense. Also Sakura is most likely in the earlier weeks of pregnancy. Meaning she is most likely having morning sickness and mood swings, so she is probably earlier than the 12 to 22 period. She might be in the 10 to 12 week period of her pregnancy. Actually I believe that this flashback is not of before Sarada’s birth. The timing would make no sense. I believe that this is a couple weeks before the current events in the manga. So, this would be their second child, however, this is just a hypothesis. This could be completely off.
Now looking at the way Sasuke being in the room with Sakura and her wearing the crest on her back would mean that he is fine with her being called Sakura Uchiha. Now let’s look at the official definition of marriage and why they would conceal their marriage. The legal union of a couple as spouses. The basic elements of a marriage are: the parties’ legal ability to marry each other, mutual consent of the parties, and a marriage contract as required by law. This is according to https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/marriage In the Naruto universe Sakura and Sasuke are able to be married, have mutual consent (Sasuke allowing Sakura to wear the Uchiha crest is a symbol of that) and marriage contact as required by law. Nowhere does it state that marriage needs to be signified by a ring. It would make sense that Naruto purposely hid the paper evidence leading to Sakura and Sasuke’s union and child. This is to protect their family from any internal spies. “Ignorance is bliss…right.” Is Sasuke’s exact words.
I do believe that they are married I just don’t believe that they have pictures and rings because that is not mandatory for them at this moment. What is mandatory is the protection of their child and maybe unborn child. The children of this era don’t know much about the Uchiha linage and that is including Sarada. I believe that at some point Sarada did lose her memory because that has been a constant theme in this manga.

Sakura says she is acting weird meaning she doesn’t act this way normally. Now look at the facts and really read the manga. Naruto is a series that has been going on for fifteen years and I don’t think Kishimoto is making mistakes. I think Kishimoto knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s not one to make mistakes especially when it comes to continuity. I believe that he will explain everything when the Gaiden wraps up. It’s definitely not complete, so don’t make any huge assumptions yet.
