Surely he could have sent Neji along if that was the case.

Edit 2: I'm so happy it was revealed Danzo has mind-control powers. That explains the stupidity of him being elected Hokage/Ninja Emperor.

It's still very Deus-Ex but at least we know the characters themselves aren't completely brain-dead.
Neji wouldn't be able to identify the chakra as being Shisui's (sp?)

And i hadn't thought about that, i'm very happy about it too now
