So I was wondering....how are all these Uchiha dead if the Sharingan users can use izanagi, I mean it cost an eye but they would still be alive, and you can get new eyes...
The Mangekyo Sharingan is a rarety and so much so it was thought to be a myth much like the Rinnegan.
Not ALL Uchiha, very little to none in fact, had the Mangekyo and therefore no access to the Izanagi Technique.
Danzo may not have had Mangekyo directly but all the matured Sharingan eye's he had possesed gave him enough of strength to nearly equal a Mangekyo.
....-_- Izanagi comes with Sharingan not MS Each of Danzo's Sharingan could use it...And Tobi, we don't know if he had MS but he used it.
You do not need MS.... What you need is a 3tomoe sharingan and Senju DNA wich no had in the village as Senju are pretty much gone.

Actually, that's not true. You need nothing more than a Sharingan to use Izanagi, although you were probably right about the 3tomoe part.
The Senju DNA is only needed to use Izanagi to it's full potential. Since the jutsu is based off the Sage of the Six Path's creation jutsu, you need to possess the Sage's genes. Members of the Uchiha clan of course possess some of his genes, but so do the Senju. So if you mix a Sharingan with Senju DNA.. basically, you've got a ton of Sage genes right there. So boom. You can make full use of Izanagi.
Izanagi does not need a Mangekyo Sharingan to be used, only a regular Sharingan. However, Izanagi was a forbidden technique and most likely difficult to use, so I guess few Uchiha knew about it.
Tobi clearly stated that both were needed to use it. I think what he meant by Danzo's incomplete form was that Danzo wasn't either naturally Uchiha nor Senju
so he couldn't access it for real.
that and they need the Senju DNA
Where?
