It was game over for him, so what path he chose then didn't even matter. He knew he was going to die, so that barely counts. What matters isn't how you die, but how you live. How you lived defines who you are. Choosing a new path once you die like Danzo is just saving face when you realize nothing matters at that point.

everything danzo did was for the leaf village

There is a major difference in between what Danzo was willing to sacrifice for his village and what Madara and Obito sacrificed to reach reach their goals. Both were well intentioned extremists, but Danzo had a line he knew not to cross.

Danzo didn't care about crossing lines, in what world did Danzo give you that impression? He used the Hidden Rain like a chessboard and carelessly had a genocide done for the 'good' of Konoha. On the other hand, Obito killed plenty of people so he could bring the world into a peaceful genjutsu.

Saving a village that will just cause more war by causing a bunch of destruction and taking lives is pointless in the face of trying to save the entire world.

Everything Sasuke did was for revenge.

Everything Itachi did was for Sasuke.

Everything Obito did was for the world.

Everything Madara did was for the world.

Everything Fugaku did was for the Uchiha clan that he had to protect as it's leader.

Everyone has something to protect, your preferences don't decide what's right and wrong.

He killed the Akatsuki because they were a threat, and while its not excusable, its also not that heinous compared to what Obito did. The Uchiha coup on the other hand was a lose-lose situation, and there was absolutely no other option. You think Itachi would have a greed to that if there was?

So, Danzo orchestrated the killing of the Akatsuki, a small group he saw as a threat, and he organized the Uchiha Massacre, which had it gone any other way would have resulted in even more death. Obito, on the other hand, killed dozens of thousands in his pursuit of a fake peace. Danzo is by no means excusable, but the things Obito did were far, far, far worse. He orchestrated a civil war, the Kyuubi attack, the Akatsuki itself and had arguably just as much of a hand in the Uchiha massacre as Danzo. Not to mention the world war he started.

Danzo was a prime example of what a Shinobi should be in his old era.

Obito is just a vicious madman with an end goal.

The hero the village needed, but not the one it deserved.

Strong enough to curse Sasuke.

TNJ strong enough to compell Itachi to kill his own clan.

Clever enough to have Hiruzen pretty much give him free reign to do whatever he wanted.

A real shinobi. Secretive, ruthless and murderous.

I did, actually.

Indra is a Deva, a celestial/harmonious one. The Uchiha Clan, Indra and his transmigrants.
Asura are demons or demigods. The village, Ashura and his transmigrants. Especially Naruto, who is the host for a demon.

he's a villain. Him coming from konoha doesn't change that. Hes still and antagonist to the main characters.

Danzo's influence can be seen/felt through out the shinobi world. Just look at the subordinates he's had and incidents he's been involved with.

Orochimaru and Tatsuma Aburame

In the shinobi world, strength is what matters. And Danzo was certainly one of the most militant people of the shinobi world.

That doesn't make him a villain. That makes him a douche. He is willing to risk lives to become Hokage.

Also, his character was not introduced in Part 1.

Danzo is responsible for betraying Nagato, Yahiko and Konnan.
Danzo is responsible for Kabuto turning evil
Danzo is responsible for Kabuto mother dying
Danzo makes his subordinate kill each other in exam or Danzo kills them

Heck for all we know Danzo might even be responsible for Orochimaru turnig evil, although that is just speculation.

He's a bad guy that thinks he's an anti-hero.

WTH. That bastard was a complete bad guy with a capital B. Doesn't anyone remember, that he masterminded the uchiha massacre for his own selfish reasons. Had the nerve to implant their eyes on his arm. Stole shishu's eye when he was trying to get the uchihas to calm down and not use violence against the village for antagonizing them. Used orochimaru to make experiments to on the uchiha eyes and if none of this doesn't convince, try this he tried to get his best friend hiruzen killed so that he can be an hokage out of jealousy ( young boy Kakashi arc) . With a friend like him you are better of not having a friend or better still you can be sleeping over at your enemy's house. Hell during the pain arc, he killed the messenger frog from warning Naruto of the pain invasion. Please we spit on his grave and say good riddance to bad rubbish like him.

Young Boy Kakashi arc is filler. Just like the filler in the Itachi arc of Hiruzen restricting Danzo's movements. We know from Edo Hiruzen in the manga, that Hiruzen did nothing to punish Danzo.

Look at the other tactics used by leader shinobi/kage and powerful missing-nin in the ninja world, and you'll see that a person like Danzo is necessary.

Raising children without emotions except for only worshiped yourself is Evil. Hitler, Stalin and Mao tried it too and no normal Human called them Anti-Hero. No they call them Evil.

It is not necessarily a filler. It is the canon continuation of kakashi's life when obito and rin died. The guy has god complex. Snake in the grass attitude. No one should defend this guy not even his parents. Ask yourself this question. Why on earth did he steal shishou's eye when he was going to stop the uchihas himself. That bastard didn't have any power, so he wanted to connive, steal, stab his friends in the back and get power for himself for the dumbest reasons. We still spit on his grave.

Really? I thought he was more a cloak and dagger kind of guy. This is a series about ninjas, and we know how they make their living.

BELIEVE IT!

:lmao:

Danzo gives his reason in the filler before taking the eye. Genjutsuing Fugaku isn't a permanent solution, and what if the rest of the clan turn against Fugaku and try to carry out the coup anyway? Or, what if Shisui is discovered. Sharingan/Byakugan/Rinnegan can all see chakra flow and detect when a person is under genjutsu. It's the victim of KA them self, who will never be aware. Lastly, how long until Shisui or someone else decides to use Shisui's eye power against Danzo, Hiruzen or the Leaf?

A nasty business. But one that Danzo, Homura, Koharu and Hiruzen felt they could live with. Remember, clans in the NV (Yuki, Kaguya, Uzumaki, Senju) disappear or are wiped out all the time. And no one bats an eyelash.

Why am i not surprised. You support a scumbag like him. If that guy was hokage, konoha will surely seize to exist. Believe it. Don't add hiruzen into it. Although he was a weak leader in this situation and let the bastard handle it, violence and stabbing people in the back are not on his resumé and are not his stuff. Whatever the case, i am glad sasuke injured him without any mercy. However, if this chance were given to others, his head will be place on a pike and his body used to feed the sharks.
