I'd like to think it could only get more interesting from here. But I think there's at least 1 or 2 more boring chapters before any action gets going.

I'm really starting to see Sai as a villain that I dont like for more than one reason. The Konoha betrayal thing of course. But I think as a person, he fronts to hide his own insecurities. I dunno if I'm not willing to let go of my earlier theory that he was to kill his own brother for Roots and not believing him when he just says "No!" when Yamato accuses him of this. I still dont believe him. And when he says "Whatever I was going to draw there...I no longer remember." If the book meant anything to him, whatever he was going to draw there is probably all he thinks about. I like disliking him for what I think is his half-truth telling nature.

But I guess, if he does have that much to hide. He's just as subject to Naruto's emotional intervention as any of the past.
