Danzo wanted to protect Konoha, but he effectively created the Akatsuki, and the Pain that destroyed Konoha. He wanted to create a rallying point for hatred for Konoha, so he outed Naruto as the Jinchuriki, but Naruto, because of the hatred, eventually became the most celebrated hero of Konoha. And the most damning bit of irony is, he caused the Uchiha massacre, basically creating the Sasuke who ended up killing him.

Bruh. Hiruzen is a tired old man who lost the fire he had in his in his youth and became soft. That is literally part of his character. Right from his inability to finish off orochimaru, letting danzo run rampant, the constant references to his declining power are all part of who hiruzen is. Him finally finding that fire and resolve to finally finish off his prized student is part of his character arc aswell. Just because a character seems incompetent doesn't mean kishimoto didn't think it through. Both hiruzen and danzo are well thought out characters by the author. . The entire hiruzen - danzo dynamics works because one became too soft while the other became too ruthless to compensate for that.

His research with Orochimaru created Hashi Cells, which benefitted the entire world and made Yamato, who was essential to the Leaf's survival. Don't act like the Uchiha massacre wasn't their own fault. Sasuke's Curse of Hatred proved that Danzō was right.

I think that's the thing. Danzo did everything for the village *and* himself, his only real downfall was his complete lack of trust likely born from his profession. He likely could've convinced the other Kage to unite with him peacefully, but because had immediately used a powerful tool to compel obeisance he was immediately ostracised from his peers and was forced to flee from them. He was a fantastic ninja and used his talents and that of others (whether ethically or literally ripping their eyes out), averting several crisis's that would've rocked the leaf to it's foundation. Several of his tools would eventually be of benefit to the leaf, including his use of the 1sts DNA. His main issue was he wasn't a diplomatic man; and thus could expressively never be trusted to compromise. He was never fit to be Kage for that reason, being a diplomatic leader requires the ability to compromise and smooth over relations, but Danzo was so focused on the means that he lost sight of the smaller picture. Another example of this was when fighting Sasuke, he was constantly thinking about Obito. Basically, he is the Extremist of the Leaf and loves his country as much as his fellows, and undoubtedly was a great man who ensured it's stability without any sign of weaknesses on it's surface by dealing with issues quietly before they destabilised the leaf. Just a man who deals unethically in death, dismemberment and exploitation will inevitably have a terrible but well deserved reputation.

I kind of liked Danzo during the Sai arc during which he was militarist and realist but also cared about the village. Sasuke is objectively a danger to Konoha so killing him is a logical choice. However my kind of appreciation of Danzo went down quickly when he killed the messanger toad during the Pain invasion arc. But even when I dislike him now, I really liked how he used the Wind Release during his battle with Sasuke. I mean he empowered kunai and shuriken with it to make them actually very dangerous.
@wulaeofthetengu83367 ай бұрын
He wasn't wrong to kill the toad. Pain was at Konoha to take Naruto, which would allow him to bring the world to it's knees. Last time anyone saw him, he could barely control Kurama, let alone master senjutsu, plus the delay Danzō gave Naruto gave him the time he needed to master Sage Mode, AND HE STILL LOST. Naruto only survived due to plot. Danzō wasn't wrong for trying to prevent Pain from getting what he wanted. You seem to forget that Danzō doesn't know that Naruto is the protagonist.

Nah, He's the 6th Hokage in my eyes. The order to me is Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, Tsunade Senju, Danzō Shimura, Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki, and Shikamaru Nara. I consider Madara because he and Hashirama made Konoha together and Hashirama wanted him to be Hokage, so I consider him the 0th Hokage, the one that should've been.

So? Many have done worse in Naruto. Also, Shisui's plan was garbage and would've exposed that the Hokage knew of the coup, forcing them to act before the Hokage was prepared. He took his eye because Shisui refused to halt his flawed plan, and Danzō didn't want him using Kotoamatsukami on him or Hiruzen in some misguided revenge.

This is a good take of one of my favorite characters ever. The only thing I would want is that you put into perspective Danzo's situation. Danzo saw two gods die attempting to protect Konoha. Despite Hashirama and Tobirama's combined efforts Konoha was on life support with only generation and its future rested solely on him and his best friends shoulders. When the village finds stability and prosperity Danzo feels it was him that made the difference. Hiruzen is strong but he's not Hashirama strong and even then it wasnt enough. Hiruzen is smart but he's not Tobirama by his own admission. The difference was me Danzo the one able to make the hard choices for Konoha.

How do you know Hanzo was desperate for peace? Everyone says that even Madara himself after wiping out thousands of people doesnt make it true. Hanzo is a killer specifically of Konoha shinobi like no other and wanted to rule the village hidden in the rain not "co-rule with the Akatsuki"...I doubt what Hanzo had in mind for the Akatsuki would be to go around handing out sunflowers to each of the village and most likely use their power for "peace" which usually means people dying in this universe. Everyone "desperate for peace" ends up killing more people than ever thought imaginable in this universe.

Danzō being the one to set up the original Akatsuki's fall is filler. In the manga, Hanzo planned on betraying them the whole time.
