Boruto Two Blue Vortex chapter 14 is set to be released on September 21, 2024, but a preview for the chapter has already been released. The preview focused on the condition of Inojin after he was pierced in the torso by Jura. However, it has brought to attention the father role of Sai, who wasn't present with his son.
Moreover, the series didn't specify anything regarding his whereabouts, which could indicate why he wasn't with Inojin, which made his character even more controversial. Ino, Inojin's mother, was also present near Sakura praying for the recovery of her son, and so were his teammates, leaving only Sai, who wasn't present when his son was fighting death.

What is Boruto Two Blue Vortex chapter 14's preview about?
The preview for Boruto Two Blue Vortex chapter 14 showcased the return of Sakura Haruno to the sequel series, making her first appearance. She was treating Inojin, who was in a critical condition after Jura pierced his chest in the previous chapters.
Moreover, Ino, Shikadai, Chocho, and Himawari were also present near Inojin for emotional support. However, the only person missing, who should be the first one to appear, was Sai, Inojin's father. Even though Ino wasn't doing anything to heal her son, she was by his side for emotional support, the same for which Sai should have also been with Inojin.
Reaction from the fandom
The fandom was affected by Sai's absence during Inojin's critical condition, as many felt that, as a father, he should have been by his son's side. As expected, the fandom blamed Sai's Anbu work because he is the chief of the Black Ops. Another fan commented on how he could still be watching Amado because the outsider was his responsibility after Amado infiltrated the village.
On the other hand, a part of the fandom had other thoughts and stated that he could be interrogating the protagonist because the latter was caught in the previous chapter. Being the chief of the Anbu Black Ops, it is indeed Sai's duty to look into the matter, which could be the reason why he wasn't with his son when he was fighting death.
"Doing more important Anbu work?" a fan said.
"Babysitting Amado," another fan said.
"Sai must be busy interrogating boruto," another one said.
"To be fair it is just one page and I'm sure he may be busy after the village was just invaded by the Shinjus," another fan claimed.
Final thoughts
To put a character on the spot when he is the chief of the Anbu Black Ops and has to take care of numerous matters, Sai's responsibility could be the most probable reason why he wasn't seen with Inojin in the chapter's preview. It is also possible that he met his son before and had to leave to interrogate the protagonist because he was caught by the shinobi in the previous chapter.
