well i'll be damned if

...Sai's brother turns out to be Kabuto.

i dunno, reading through 300 and lingering on the panel where Sakura says "the center pages are Sai and his brother..." and just looking at the features of his brother, i couldn't help it when the thought that it might turn out to be Kabuto popped into my head. anti-climactic, awkward, premature or whatever, i don't know but it might make a little sense although the revenge-on-dear-older-brother thing is starting to get a bit old. who knows though? it might resolve some things on Kabuto's part of the story, one that is more or less filled with mystery. no one really knows his initiative yet, or what would "knock him back to his senses" (from being eebil, etc.) but i'm really going out on a limb here and this theory could turn out to be nothing, lol.

*pardon me if this has been touched before

I do totally want to know what the heck is up with Kabuto...but honestly it didn't cross my mind that Sai's older brother would be him. However, that's not to say I would discredit the theory completely. You've just given me something to think about, instead of doing homework ^^;;

Better Kabuto than Sasuke. As interesting as it would be, oh, god, gag me if Sai is a Uchiha Clan Survivor Omg. D:

XD Funny...a friend of mine suggested this a few days ago...

Hmm...I suppose it could be plausible...and rather twisty...XD But I'm not sure if I want Kabuto to be his brother. I'd almost rather his brother really be dead, like Sai says he is. *shrug* I guess we'll find out eventually, eh?

Or if there even really is a brother.

Hmm... i'm just really eager to find out whether Sai really is as emotionless as he is portrayed to be.
As in... whether he has a wild, passionate, hot and steamy side.
Or just a really cute and bubbly side.
That would be very amusing...

haha, I misread that. I thought you wanted sai hot and steamy, like rice-cake. XD. I'm sorry, I'm on ten shades of crack.

Eh, why not? Nothing surprises me these days. XD

But I don't want him to be Sai's brother either. I don't know... it would be bizarre. ×_×

The thought occured to me too... but the one that just came to me sounds even better in my head; perhaps Sai's brother was one of Orochimaru's experiments? O_o;

....ooooor, Sai could just be defecting to the Sound. >_>;; damn you, Kishimoto!

I'll bet that Sai is actually the white haired one and he killed the black haired boy and is now posing as him. Or something equally odd and unexpected.

I agree with you that the answer to the brother mystery would be something very unexpected. :D

Yeah. I can definately see that happening, and everyone would be all 'OMGWTF!' but it would make sense.

Seeing as the black haired one took the armor and weapons of his defeated enemies.... and we weren't shown the white haired boy's story, it could hold water.

However, I now feel the need to go back and look at the chapter to see if there is any picture of the white-haired boy dressed in clothes like Sai wears now. Just in case, you know?

But I thought it might be Kakashi? OK not really but HAHAHA omg urs makes so much more sense I don't know why Kakashi came to mind and not Kabuto.

OMFG his brother is Obito! Get it right! =)
JK, why is every one in this series is speculated to be Obito? Poor kid.
Maybe Kabuto is Obito... AH-HA! That's why his past is so shady. When he was smashed, all his hair fell out, and it grew back silver. Or maybe, he copied Kakashi's hair growing techniques with his sharingan, and he got new eyes... because he became really good at medical jutsus (from copying Rin) And that's how he know's he's as good as Kakashi during the Chuunin exams. And he came to Konoha as a little kid because... when he was smushed, it made him shorter. ??? OK, that's kinda gross.

Or maybe I am Obito, what, with my awesome ninja prowess... *snerk* *snerk*

Ooh, that's a new one. Interesting thought. I don't really pay much attention to Sai so it hadn't occured to me. But wouldn't Sai recognize him? "ZOMG! niisan!" when he met Kabuto?

Sai is not his real name; it's the psuedonym given to him by Danzou for this mission.

(If you're interested in hearing another discussion this Kabuto-as-Sai's-brother theory, there is one going on at [livejournal.com profile] chinpo_daily right here (http://community.livejournal.com/chinpo_daily/13420.html) ^_^. And anything I could say here I think I've already rambled out over there.)

hmm I had that thought too, only because Kabuto has white hair...

But then I remembered that Kabuto isn't even from Konoha, as mentioned in the Chuunin exams, he was a surviving child from another village that was destroyed?

So that kinda made me throw the theory out.. but you never know I suppose!

Yeah, he was on the battlefield of Bellflower Pass, IIRC.

Which brings me to the question of:
Why was a little kid on a battlefield?
Why was he the only one alive?

Hm, does it say how old he was? O: -Forgot- >>;

*goes to look it up*

Let's see....three attempts to graduate, four years at trying the chuunin exams....I'd say he'd have been fairly young, at least. But it doesn't seem to say exactly. I really doubt much older than 6 or 7 by the sounds of things.

Heh, who knows?

Someone on Narutofan forums put forth the theory that Kabuto might be a jinchuuriki, however, the only thing I can think of that would negate that would be: Why, then, would Sasori have given him to Orochimaru? Would Akatsuki have not extracted his demon already?

Though, it would be really cool if Kabuto were a jinchuuriki...^_^;

Perhaps he was a spy for Orochimaru even back then.. and that was their way to plant him in Konoha

hmmmm, interesting! i'd never thought of that before- but they said that sai's brother was dead (or so he thinks, right?). that would certainly be an interesting twist! and we'd get to see more of kabuto, which i'm all in favor of :D

I personally think the point that the two separate stories met in the middle meant that Sai and his brother already fought, and thus Sai won as he is the only one alive.

I do hope we get more on Sai's story, unlike with Sasori. I would have loved to have found out more about Sasori and his parents.
