SakuKarin

SakuKarin is the femslash ship between Karin and Sakura Haruno from the Naruto fandom.

Canon
Sakura and Karin first met each other during the mission to pursue Itachi but the two did not acknowledge each other. They did not formally meet until Five Kage Summit. Sakura was ordered by Sasuke to kill her if she wanted to join him to which she hesitated. However, it turned out that this was a ruse for Sasuke to sneak up on her so Kakashi saved her and ordered her to heal Karin instead of killing her.

While Sakura was healing Karin in a safe area, she felt pity and sympathy for her because Sasuke was willing to have both of them killed. Karin did not want pity and begged Sakura to stop crying because she was an enemy and thus should not be sympathizing with her. Sakura later introduced her to Naruto as a member of Sasuke's team but she denied this.

Years later, Sasuke was away from Konoha on a mission with Karin and Sakura followed him during the process. Sakura eventually married Sasuke and was pregnant with his daughter. When she went into labor, Karin was the one to deliver her baby. She also provided her with glasses as she had poor eyesight. Karin had also loved Sasuke but wanted him to be happy and was willing to help him and Sakura because of this.
