Nice hear your wrist is recovered lot more better :). Yeah, your reasons for Shiori avoiding actual love relationship may be good explanation and more so she would try shove Yoshi away to someone else (like Cookie's char who's entire clan surrounds on continue/preserve lost bloodline heritages). Where as Shiori views herself as damaged goods which would bring only mistfortune for someone whom she cares about.<br/><br/>So lots of drama and quite interesting threeway situation in the team. More so if Cookie's char figures she is meant marry Yoshi (and she resents forced marriages and ending her career as shinobi). But the thing with Yoshi is genuity of the emotion, so far the potential partners (Kasumi, Naomi, Setsuko etc) are superficial and more 'bragging rights' for those women for sleeping with Uchicha or as you mentioned; gladly get pregnant to get bloodline gifted child as sharingan is freakishly OP bloodline in shinobi world. Where as Shiori genuinely cares for other people and genuinely loves them if she loves them. As deep down Yoshi is romantic individual and thus one reason why he just does not go get rid of his virginity casually.<br/><br/>I thought there could excist chemistry between Shiori and Yoshi on even first meeting but neither one acts on it. Until we reach the point where Shiori really needs feed on chakra and by a lot or else she dies (so it comes neccesity for Yoshi and more so if Shiori is aware how she can most effectively recharge). Of course during first sex the chemistry/love triggers the transformation for Yoshi awaken his sharingan (love fullfilled as condittion to open it than love lost). As Shiori would feed on chakra during that moment, she can taste and feel Yoshi's uncondittional burning hot love for her (thanks the unique chakra released)....which can probably shock her but also make happy someone loves (as what she truly is) her deeply. But also send her to distress as she (as you said) believes does not deserve such love.<br/><br/>Anycase on Sarada; I agree she would be perhaps be closest to Yoshi in the family and most shown affection to him (his parents being very distant). But as she is busy with her ambittions so she had got no time for Yoshi when he really needed it. To Yoshi, taught by Naruto/Hokage, most valued thing is<em>family</em>. As he has felt neglect from his own family and his own yearning from affection from his family left him unsatisfied and thus turns that love also bitter dislike/hatred over time, even to Sarada whom he had started see care more about her selfish dream/goal than her own little brother.<br/><br/>So thus one reason why he has no goals to become hokage, as that goal/title had consumed his sister entirely and he does not want pursue something which had made him suffer. He has no grudge for Naruto himself but overall he sees 'ambittion' in negative manner. Especially ambittion which makes someone neglect their family or close friends. Naruto aimed become Hokage all the time, but he did not leave nor abandon his friends behind because of it. So Yoshi is quite complex as a characther goes as he has the cool surface exterior but has deep passionate burning romantic heart and who values more idea of family than any traditional shinobi goals. While ironically his own family is cold to him and he in turn is cold to his own family (while warm for Uzumaki family which he grew up with). If he would not had raised by Uzumaki's at all, he would had turned out to be further cold and bitter and perhaps ruthless as Naomi.
