[Sai hasn't entirely worked out how to use this whole magic jewelry network thing yet, but the thought-typing is relatively straightforward enough. So:]

is it truly wise to be rescuing the qorral ?
should a significant number of them perish, it will be far easier to complete our secondary mission of stopping the mining efforts

[Jin's individuality, his freedom to choose, is everything to him. Sai's way of thinking is so at odds with that, that it's difficult for Jin to truly empathize as much as he's attempting to-- at least not yet.]

And what, go back to this root stuff? Just to take and fill your orders like a machine?

That's insane. That's no way for a person to live.

[Technically, he wouldn't be going back to Root right away, considering he got permission to stay with Team Kakashi a bit longer, but that's not entirely the point right now. Especially since he needs to be very clear about one thing:]

i might be a person, but more importantly, i am a shinobi of konohagakure
i will not forsake my village, no matter what
i do not care what i have to do to return
or what anyone else thinks about it
we might be a team, but none of you is of konoha
regardless of anything else, it will always be my highest priority

[he thinks for a moment before replying.]

do you want to go home? or is that just your orders?

what do you have waiting for you?

my village

[Why is this...unclear....]

fighting for my village is everything that i am
i do not wish to change that
