Description Name: Sai
(Meaning: Paint)
Age: 16
Height: 5'4" (If you don't realize, I made Sai the same height as Sakaye. Lol.)
Rank: ANBU (Is this right? I'd thought the manga said that Root was a branch of ANBU. Something about being the roots that hold up the tree or something? )

. . . Yeah. I just kinda drew this one day, figuring it was about time you guys got to see what FemSai looks like. Lol. And yes, Sai's name is still Sai. Curious as to why? Read below!

Why FemSai is Still Named Sai
(Yes, there is a logical reason for it! >.>; . . .)

In my GBNaru Series, I have made a rule for myself that anyone older than the Sanin's generation will not be GenderBendered. (Basically, anyone older than 50.) This was mostly created so that I could have at least some boundaries to who I could gender bender. Otherwise, I'd end up GB'ing even MORE than the (more than) 100 people I already have. (The rule also includes summons, so characters such as Gamabunta, Pakkun, and Manda are still male (or female as the case might be.))

That being said as I was creating FemSai, it hit me that Danzo is older than 50 (or so I assume. >.>; He looks really old for his age if he isn't...), so I started pondering over FemSai's name. I remembered that Sai was a code name given to Sai by Danzo. Sai had never been his real name.

So I got to thinking, 'Wait a minute. Danzo is still Danzo and thus, Danzo would still be giving the code name, so what does this mean?' I also recalled that on babynamesworld.com, they have it written that Sai is a girl's name that means "Paint". That makes sense to me and if that is true, that most likely means Danzo gave him the name Sai for its meaning of "Paint" because it's what Sai does. He's an artist; it made sense. (I did get a giggle out of it being a girl's name, though, and I've heard Sai means "Rhino" somewhere, but it's possible Sai has more than one meaning.)

That being said, I starting wondering, 'Would Danzo really give her another code name. Him still being him, wouldn't it only seem natural that he still give her the code name of Sai?' I thought it over and it only seemed to make even more sense considering that the name was a girl's name. (According to babynamesworld.com, at least.)

Thus, it only seemed logical, that given the circumstances and the fact that Danzo is still Danzo, that my FemSai would still be granted with the name: Sai, just as her counterpart, Sai, is named.

Conclusion? FemSai is named Sai and that is that.

(Lol. Thank you for those who bothered to read that. =.= Now please don't ask me why she's named Sai...)

"Sai" also means a particular type of weapon, sort of a very thin knife with a curved prong at each side. There are several pictures on Google Images. Also "bellybutton." So, it makes sense three ways!

As soon as I read 'Sai' for this pic, I knew exactly why you you chose the name.
Because I went to the same site to look up his name and had to chuckle at the fact that it was a girl's name!

I'm even going to have my characters in several of my fanfics point that fact out to him when he SO blantingly says something insensitive to her/them.

Just kidding XD I could not resist. I read the really long explanation and it does make sense. Also her design is really cool. I think you did a really good job with her character

Lol. Once I typed that, I knew that if it were me reading that, I'd be sorely tempted to do it as well. Therefore, I KNEW someone was bound to do it. (In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if more than one person does it. X3 *giggle*)

Aw... I'm so happy to hear that! Ima-chan also says that even though she doesn't really love Naruto anymore, she still loves my GBNaru! I'm so happy that people can still love my GB Stuff even if their love for Naruto diminishes. X3 It makes me feel good that I can manage that.

And thank you!
