281 Similarities Discussion

[kagami-x.livejournal.com]

So, I had some thoughts about chapter 281 that I'm pretty sure some people are going to agree with.



Okay, so. I know it's just not me:





Thanks to athelice for the awesome comparison.

Sai and Sasuke have similar garb, EXACT same eyes, leaf headband, same color hair.

Plus, the guy in bandages says, "From now on your name will be 'Sai'"; indicating his name was different before.
Maybe it's a crack theory - but Sai is either another Uchiha or our time-skip Sasuke.

I may be COMPLETELY and totally wrong.

Discuss.

ETA: I understand that Sai's mission is to go back and infiltrate Konoha. I think maybe it's going to be a whole "OMG BETRAYAL" scandal thing between the Leaf and Sound (like we didn't already know this was going to happen). So theoretically, if Sai is Sasuke, then he'll go back to the Leaf and either A) secretly infiltrate HQ or B) Go back to Team Seven, have a big emotional "Welcome back Sasuke" chapter, and then end up betraying them and have a fight to the death arc. Remember: Sasuke was supposedly under Orochimaru's control for 2 and a half years. He could be seriously brain-washed, which could explain drastic personality changes.
