I'm so happy for Sai. This man has gone through a lot.
We don't know much about his past, but we know that he grew up without parents, alone. When he was kid he only saw Danzo and his beloved adoptive brother Shin. He drew a book about the two of them he hadn't finished, which made me cry.
Soon he was forced to fight him to death and finally had to watch him die. After all, washed out of emotion, he becomes a kind of weapon for Danzo, a killing machine.
Then he joins to Team 7, where at first he isn't accepted by the rest. He even claims to be the type of person that people hate.
Over the time Sai is slowly learning emotions and relationships between people. Seeing how Sasuke was important to Naruto and Sakura, he wants to replace him. At times, he even risks his life to defend them. After a while, he becomes important to others, and Kakashi supports him, saying that he is part of team 7.
Sai begins to feel certain emotions. He has friends he has never had.
Later, during the war, he had to face his brother again, but after seeing Sai's finished book, he can finally rest, which makes Sai cry. (both sai and me)
After the war, he becomes definitely happier and his relations with others are better.
However, in the Shikamaru novel he still does not believe that he is someone important to the rest. He was upset, so it was easy for Gengo to take control over him. Then Ino and others come to rescue him. She comforts him and helps him. Already during Shippuuden we could notice that she feel something for him.
We can see how their love blossoms.
Then in Sakura's novel, he watches over her when she lies in the hospital. No doubt he fell in love with her.
Later, we see him as Konoha's best father!
His relationship with Inojin is just wonderful. He cares about him, protects him, trains him, but sometimes teases him which is both cute and funny.
Most importantly, he loves him so much and Inojin loves him back.
I am glad that despite his terrible past he now has a loving family and friends.
