I know officially his name is Sai Yamanaka (which could be a lie), but what
I'm asking is: could he have Uchiha DNA?

  1. Sai was kept underground for the majority of his upbringing and hidden, furthermore within the foundation he mastered the suppression of all emotion, and Tobirama Senju explained the the Sharingan is awakened with extreme emotion.

  2. Itachi only had so much time to slaughter the entire bloodline; any Uchiha out on missions may have survived, hidden within the Anbu. And when you are born a Uchiha, you can deactivate the eye. Maybe it's possible there were still Uchiha within the village as part of a 'witness protection' service to keep them hidden. (It's possible that it was being planned for some time and the Anbu Uchiha were pulled out of service, but it's still possible they didn't.)

If both those statements are true, doesn't that mean Sai could be an Uchiha? I
haven't started _Boruto_ , if this was explored there I don't know, but Sai
feels like a side character and I doubt it.

Could Sai be an Uchiha?


... _no_.

Sai was an orphan. He had no other attachments to anything or any _one_ other
than Root and Danzo. If he _were_ an Uchiha, surely by now his dojutsu would
have been made a prevalent part of the series (along with an attempt by Danzo
to steal the eyes).

His full name is the result of him taking the surname of his wife.

Sai was an orphan. He only had the person he believed to be Shin's brother.
Besides, Sai was sincere, direct and cool in personality. He would not
broadcast soybeans on the Uchiha, because he did not hate anyone. And in
Uchiha, hatred was born easily as Tobirama Senju explained it;)
