I'm rereading chapter 286, and here, Sai says of Sasuke... "He's a traitor to Konoha who, because he was weak, ran off to Orochimaru, seeking nothing but power..........and I don't want to be put in the same bag with him." Kind of ironic, no?

Gotta love Kishimoto sometimes! You know, it would be so awesome if Sai actually had a tiny penis. :D

I am still desperately hoping that Sai will be revealed to be setting up what's left of Team 7 royally; it will be awful if he's collapsed (and become incompetant - dropping that book and forgetting it) so quickly. What happened to all that loyalty to Danzou sama? Are you really this pointlessly shallow Sai? O_O

[rinnychan.livejournal.com]

Naruto is hot. Danzou is not.

So, yes.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Exactly so. *nod* Danzou sama seemed to have such certainty that Sai was the right one for this job; I can't believe a person like him could have chosen this badly.

[rinnychan.livejournal.com]

He should have done his homework! Though I am convinced that because Sai is a placeholder for Sasuke, he is also placed on the same track that the went on. Annoying Naruto, going to Orochimaru, betraying Leaf...though if he really is on Naruto's side now, and befriending him AFTER going to Orochimaru, it may indicate that things with Sasuke are going to change their course as well.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

He hasn't 'gone to' Orochimaru though, in the same way Sasuke chose to ally himself with the great man; Sai is Danzou's emissary. Or he's supposed to be. And if Sai agrees with Danzou's philosophy about the state of Leaf and the way it's future should be, then he wouldn't be betraying 'Leaf' at all - just it's present administration, which is a different thing.

I sort of agree- although i absolutely adore sai and am happy that he's sort of the good-guy at the moment, it's still weird that he changed 'sides' so easily. I'm beginning to think that it's a whole nother scheme of his and he really will go back to Oro...Gah. Evil Kishimoto-sensei *hits him* XD

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

It's not that he will go back to Orochimaru; it's that he will carry out Danzou sama's mission, the details of which are still unknown (we know what Sai has said about it, but we don't really know exactly what Danzou wants Orochimaru to do with/for him).

I really hope he's just playing off all sides against each other.

Also Orochimaru was not at all impressed by Danzou's name and hasn't actually accepted anything yet, as far as we know.

[ovendoor.livejournal.com]

Yeah sorry that's what i meant- about carrying out Danzou's mission, not teaming up with Orochimaru or anything -__- *fails*

It'd be really kool if he does play off all the sides against each other. I don't want Sai to be a boring character who only stays around for a small arc before he's killed off.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

My ideal future of the plot is that Orochimaru's body swap has already taken place and 'Sasuke' gets 'saved' and goes back to Konoha. Except it isn't Sasuke anymore. >:) That would rock. :DDD *ahem*

I am hoping that Sai and Yamato have a long future too; Sai can perhaps have a Kabuto like role supporting Danzou sama - they're both smart. ;)

[ovendoor.livejournal.com]

Omg! That would be a brilliant plot *__* And in the end you see a huge 'YOU'VE BEEN PUNK'D' banner XD Okay, well, maybe not.
But i'd pity Naruto and Sakura so much when they'd find out .__.

It'd be sutpid to get rid of Yamato now *nods* I hope his character gets even more complicated besides the fact that he's like a clone-thing of the first hokage *_*
OOOO if Sai had a kabuto-like-role it'd be perfect. When Kabuto spilled all the information so quickly though, that completely threw me off. Him and Sai are really similar o__o Sai told team 7 about his plans so easily too.
Maybe Kabuto is Sai's 'dead' brother?

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Well, as for Kabuto and Root, who knows; it's not utterly impossible. Kabuto's past (ie; how exactly he came to be - presumably - placed for a Konoha medic to find by Sasori danna, and when and how he became Orochimaru's man instead) has never really been made clear.

I can see Orochimaru having SO much fun with the Team 7 social dynamic...I love the thought of Naruto's face as 'Sasuke's' skin sloughed off revealing the face of Orochimaru beneath. Kukuku...

[ovendoor.livejournal.com]

I want more information on Kabuto already T__T; It's ben so long and still nothing on him. It better be something huge like him really being the eight tailed biju *_*

Ahahaha XD It would be the best plot twist in naruto ever.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

I am sure there is a lot more to Kabuto yet; they were able to beat him far too easily. He took on Tsunade and he can't get out of an armlock by Sai?!

[ovendoor.livejournal.com]

That's probably the main thing that's annoyed me bout Kabuto XD I mean, back in the Chuunin arc he knocked out about 3/4 ANBU-people in a short amount of time, but it took him a whole...what...2/3 episodes to fight against just Naruto when all the Sannin were fighting?
He's such a confusing character o_o

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Fighting Naruto is different though; he is protected by Plot and is basically unbeatable, which is a cheat as there are a million shinobi more talented than Naruto; they just don't have that kyuubi chakra. *shrug*

Anbu are like Red Shirts, though...;)

But to Sai, he was NOT betraying Konoha. He was following his mission for the better of Konoha (and Danzou), as he was told like a good little boy.
