The databook number 4 told us there is no way 香燐 (Karin) would
stop being by Sasuke’s side, did she really get over him so soon?
(laughs) Honestly I haven’t given it much thought.
It is hard to find a way to explain how she got over Sasuke.
I don’t think she ever would and it was not in my original intention to have her give up.
If I was ever going to end the story with romance I had been planning to let Sasuke end up with 香燐 (Karin).
In the process I decided to make her a member of the うずまき一族 (Uzumaki-clan).
It would symbolize the end of the curse of hatred between Uchiha and Senju and the end of a repeating circle.
Sadly she did not gain as much popularity as Hinata and Sakura so we discussed to ditch the idea.
