Sai? Really? I think that ship sailed when Kishi skipped on the chance for us to see Sai go one on one with Sasuke of all people. I don't think I would mind seeing a bit more of Sai but really we know what his fighting style is so what more is there to show. He draws stuff and it comes to life, sure there are seemingly limitless possibilities using a fighting style like that but really I'm just not interested.
I want to see more of your fundamental traditional ninja battles and there are so few of these already. This time around we have an immortal, before that we had yet another immortal in Oro fighting 4 tailed Naruto and before that we had a living puppet. I'm not knocking any of those battles, I'm just saying that that isn't what got me into Naruto. Fights like Kakashi vs Zabuza, Lee vs Gaara and Neji vs Naruto are what made this series and I just think its getting a bit too gimmicky. I mean Kakashi warping things in another dimension just by looking at them. Once he perfects a technique like that then those stare downs we're used to seeing will take on an entirely different role.
Anyway as for Sai, it doesn't seem like Kishi plans on doing anything with him, it seems as if he really just put him there to fill in for Sasuke. I'm sure we'll see more of Sai, if and when Kishi decides to elaborate more on Danzo. He randomly threw Danzo into the mix and created all this suspicion about his character and then left it at that.
