personality continued...

In introspection, his biggest weakness goes hand-in-hand with his greatest strength. He might have had excessive training, might have been very goal oriented and sharply capable of dissecting facts out of bigger concepts, his artistic skills might be very good, but he lacks the passion to reach over his own limitations. He doesn't push himself hard to learn new techniques, much like other characters do. If he had been doing that, he'd probably be on a completely different power level.

Like any child who has got to manage on their own, he is very persistent, and doesn't give up before it's plainly clear that he can't succeed in something he has set out to do. He's independent, having used to work on his own before Team 7. He isn't shy or easily embarrassed to a point where that would become an obstacle. In fact, he is more prone to calmly state something outrageously bold and then watch with a slight smile as others sputter and groan and laugh at him. He might have been clueless in the beginning, but as time goes by and he proves to be more and more thoughtful and surprisingly insightful, it makes you wonder if it's just his way of putting people at ease around him.

He might lack that 'gut feeling' about people, might learn interaction from a book, not know how to name a feeling even when he is experiencing it, but he isn't afraid to speak his mind when he thinks something needs to be said. He can be considerate but also bluntly honest when the situation calls for it. Adaptable and rational, he knows what people are capable of and doesn't have any illusions about justice or altruism, but he also knows that he has friends and colleagues he can trust in.

Abilities: Like any shinobi, Sai is well versed in battle skills. His training with Root has made sure that he knows how to use most existing weapons and battle tactics. His profile doesn't include a ninja rank, quite possibly Root has none. But Danzo remarks him as the most talented Root of his generation, and Danzo is prone to speak of battle skills rather than needle work. What his profile does state is the age he completed the ninja academy, which was 9, and at the age of 10 he entered chuunin exams. I think it says nothing about his fighting skills, but it speaks volumes of his tactical intelligence and mental stamina.

His trademark jutsu, Choujuu Giga, is a technique, which allows him to extract his ink drawings out of a scroll he uses, give them life and make them obey his will. He uses the jutsu in various ways, for transportation, intelligence purposes and attacking. He doesn't use his artistic skills only for battle, however, but seems to enjoy drawing and calligraphy as a hobby as well.

His greatest, single asset probably would be his tireless focus and sharp observational skills. He is very good at prioritizing and doesn't waver when he makes up his mind, striving almost single mindedly for whatever goal he has set as his first priority. Being trained first and foremost as a soldier, he is very effective when he sets his mind to take on a mission.
