Lmao, since you didn't read the thread, I'll make it even easier for you.

"Self sacrifice, that's what epitomises a shinobi. Never seeing the light of day, toiling in the shadows. That's the way of a true shinobi and not just Itachi. Countless shinobi have died the same way. This world could not function on ideals and pleasantries alone."
-Danzō

"Self sacrifice. A nameless Shinobi who protects peace from within the shadows. That is a true Shinobi. Shisui taught me that."
-Itachi

"Your brother was an even better Shinobi than me."
-Hashirama, "God of Shinobi", "Ultimate Ninja"

Danzō himself could be hypocritical, but his ideology is the greatest and most accurate regarding what a ninja should be. Your own opinion doesn't really factor in on this.


The only act of self sacrifice that he showed was trying to take down obito and sasuke with him. If his ideal of self-sacrifice was to keep peace from the shadows, then why would he want to become hokage in the first place. ( Last I checked a hokage doesn't keep peace from within the shadows)

I guess you're right on the opinion part. Mine nor yours matter. What Kishi says goes. He decides which ideals bring true peace to the NV.

I think Danzo is one of the truest forms of the shinobi ideal that's my... "head canon", I suppose.

Naruto is not a shinobi (to me). He's a hero, a saviour.
Sakura? She's not either. She's a healer.

I think out of the three, Sasuke is the closest but... he's more ronin, to me. He has pride, his sense of honour (refusing to following Orochimaru's ideals on killing indiscriminately), but he lacks the true essence of what it is to be a shinobi; a tool for the village. He is without a master and is devoted to avenging his Clan.

Is Danzo a good guy? No.
Is he likeable? Not to me.
Do I agree with his methods? Not really, but I can understand why he did what he did - I can empathise to an extent. What it must have been like, after having someone like Tobirama leading to then have Hiruzen and his... compassion. Lol sickening. Orochimaru is a prime example of Hiruzen's failure as a Kage. His inability to see and stop it before it got as far as it did, to end him when he had the chance... how many suffered as a result of that?

It would have been interesting, if Minato had lived, to see how Danzo would have developed then... all the Elders I suppose. Their position (as far as I know) was reliant on Hiruzen's friendship with them...

Way to miss the point entirely :|
Idc about that irrelevant stuff you posted, I've gone over that several times with different people. Maybe I'll care later.

Just like how you miss the point of quotes from hashirama

Danzo may have ordered the uchiha clan to be killed but it was Itachi the 3rd hokage and everyone else who sat by and in allowed it to happen.

I dont think Danzos goal was to have absolute power or anything and become hokage, I think he just wanted to show that he could take responsibility for things and he could be the one to make a sacrifice. Though he wasnt the one directly fighting, i dont think his life was really that good, living behind the scenes of everyone else. He still had to work hard to control everyone
Someone had the scan of Danzo wanting to be the one to be the diversion but he was unable to have the courage to say it before someone else jumped in. He wants to be helpful and be of service to people but he is just a bit afraid to make that first step.
Danzo was like tobirama but more intense and more unsure of his abilities. I think he just wanted to prove to everyone including himself that he was willing to be the first to volunteer to help.

I dont really like his character but i dont hate it. His character is chaotic good.

Tch. Eveyone goes on about it like the Uchiha were the victims, like they weren't a danger to Konoha...
That they didn't almost start a civil war that would have likely led to another Shinobi War...
And that they hadn't attempted a coup previously...
Nor had they been inclined to murder their bestfriends for their eyes...
Or that they were gentically predisposed to go utterly bat-sh*t-crazy insane.

... sure. Tobirama and Danzo were completely unfounded in their actions (sarcasm).

The difference between the Uchiha Clan and Naruto is that the latter wanted to prove the Village wrong, that they were wrong to fear him - to hate him for something outside his control and couldn't help.

The Uchiha had the same oppertunity. They could have risen above it, they could have proven the Village wrong. Instead, the thought a Coup was the way to go and so were massacred by one of their own.
... fitting really, considering their history.

Right... but Itachi solo no jutsu> KA plus he had the second on standby lol so if anything Lord Solo's KA hits first and keeps danzo in his place.. low diff fodder under Lord of Crows.

Cant KA 3 ppl at once since he's fodder lol at best he hits Guy sensei just to be leaf hurricaned by a g3-4 Lee, fire squaded by 10-10 and/or pushed towards Lee's foot by an air palm.

He cant solo the team nor NV's lord and saviour who had danzo in check since a preteen lmfao not to mention all of konoha elders, sannin, kage, and jounin on pause til hjs own personally orchestrated death.

Danzō's KA > Itachi's pre-programmed one stored in a crow which he has to summon. Sorry.
Edit: Oh, and let's not forget the difference in cool downs. Itachi's: Once a decade. Danzō's: Once every few hours. Not comparable.

he talked about protecting the village, yet he killed the messenger toad so Naruto wouldn't be able to stop Pain before he destroyed the place.

He talked about how a true shinobi operated from the shadows, yet he overtly went on power grabs to eventually become someone who was more than just a Hokage.

He portrayed an entire group of ppl as being traitors to the village, yet he committed more treasonous acts against it than anybody else in the history of the place.

Danzo was contradictory as hell, and a common playground bully on top of that.

True.

He held back in protecting Konoha from Pain, that was bad. Nothing else, that I remember, was treason. Refresh my memory?
And besides, even if he did do countless treasonous things, does that somehow make the Uchiha traitors not traitors?

"A common playground bully" lol.

Anyway, people keep talking about Danzō himself when the OP is obviously about his ideals.
