lol nobody knows... i think it's either horribly scarred from the mission where he lost his team or it's normal and he keeps the mask on cause of his days in Anbu...

you're surprised at this after the "TV" show at the end of Naruto and the fact that have wireless radios which are much more advanced???????????

yah... he's saving Sasuke from himself i think is how he views it. sasuke didn't go completly willingly remeber how the Curse marks mess with your head?? i think that's what's going on. even if he did go willingly Naruto's just trying to help his friend see that there are other paths to become stronger. Sai's kind of a a jerk so far, not sure i like him... *sigh* just seems like another "bad" guy for Naruto to become frends with and "convert" not to mention the apparently hot body that now has fangirls drooling... i forgot what that was like when Sasuke was on the show... *sigh* and since my comment is longer than your review i'll shut up (sorry i couldn't help "the full passion of YOUTH!!!!!!" lol)

yah... the background when he talked about controlling them through fear... LOL and Naruto when Yamato told him the story about Jiraiya

yes it is Shizune talked about it a couple eps ago...
