Well where do i begin. I've always wanted to put this to rest, looks like i have a bit of time. Anyway along with a bit of research it seems what i thought has been established in the manga, I like most people just couldn't see it clear enough. However ill reveal to you some facts about Shisui's/Danzo relationship.

As we know Shisui said Danzo stole is eye majority of people have translated this into a 1 vs 1 fight where Danzo defeated him and took an eye, i however have never believed this for various reasons. Ill start by stating:
  • A summary of Anbu & summary of Roots
  • Differences between Anbu and Root
  • State that Shisui was in Anbu, but under Roots, Whilst Itachi was in Anbu black Ops
  • Finally, give a verdict on what truly happened between Shisui/Danzo

The are an organisation which is controlled by the hokage.
Within this organisation is another organisation known as whcih was founded by Danzo

Apart from the difference between anbu and roots being the leader's, there is another difference and that is the uniform they were. Apart from Anbu/Roots whom both were a mask (due to the nature of their job) there is a massive difference is the way they dress/arm themselves. Anbu where a:
  • Chest armour
  • Arm guards
  • Wield a katana

This is a typical . As you can see the chest armour is visible. The arm guards is visible and he is wielding a katana.

Roots members however dress differently;
They do NOT have a chest armour
They do NOT have arm guards
They wield a tanto (small katana)
They have straps over their shoulders

So how do i know this. Well iv'e shown you the typical outfit of an Anbu black ops. Ill now show you the outfits of the known Root members for you to see for yourself.

As you can see Roots armoury and Uniform is very different from the ANbu Black ops.

As we all know Itachi was in Anbu, he was a black OPS and the person whom he reports to was the hokage

.

Secondly note itachi's anbu clothing and weapon he wields, .

Itachi's outfit matches perfectly with that of an anbu black op's.
  • Chest armour (CHECK)
  • Arm guards (CHECK)
  • Wield a katana (CHECK)

The next image im about to show you along with what is up next will reveal Shisui's true identity.
First is that shisui was in anbu. However the manga hasn't specifically stated whether he was a black ops or roots. It has however given us strong hints that he was a root member.

The first image is this;

As you an clearly see, there is a massive difference between the uniform Itachi and Shisui were along with their weapons. Itachi wields a katana. Shisui wields a tanto.

Its clear as day that Itachi dresses uniform/armoury is an Anbu black OPS, whilst Shisui's is from Roots.

Apart from the clear facts that Shisui was in anbu due to his uniform, his idea's perfectly match Danzo's.

Danzo's idea's;

Shisui's idea's

There is a strong correlation between Danzo's ideas and Shisui's. Apart from Danzo whom preaches these idea's to member's of root who else could've preached this to Shisui whom in turn preached this to Itachi.

Anbu black OP's and Root though similar in fashion have different idea's basically reflecting the two heads of the respective Groups (Black OPS & Roots)

This where the misconception comes into play. It says Danzo stole his eye. However that is too vague.
Shisui wanted to solve the problems his own . If shisui is planning on stopping the coup d'etat it would not be a wise idea to use Kotoamatsukami on Danzo. Because he wants to use it somehow to stop the coup d'etat, therefore using it on danzo instead will not solve this problem because he now has to wait another 10 years before he can use it, but another problem arises if he used it on Danzo. If it was found out that an uchiha was controlling one of the influential elder's of konoha it backfires massively on shisui's original intent and this last act will no doubt be a catalyst for the coup.

Secondly, its very possible that because Shisui is in roots and his idea's match perfectly with Danzo's he didn't show much restrain against his superior in turn allowed Danzo to take his eye, but also he would have to restrain because if Danzo was to die if further backfires on his plan and this act will be a catalyst if anything for the coup. Danzo most likely knew this and took the opportunity because he is basically invincible. Shisui is at a loss. Kill Danzo and your plan backfires. Show restraint and Danzo takes your eye

This possibility is that Danzo either went along with a few root member's to obtain Shisui's eye or Danzo was not there at all. The reason I say this is because the image im about to upload speaks for itself;

As you can see, Fu volunteers to go and and retrieve the sharingan (Sasuke's) for Danzo. A very similar thing could've happened where Danzo sent people after him or He went with people to retrieve Shisui's eye. Danzo is NEVER alone when something big is about to happen.


All iv'e Given you is enough info to state that:
  • Shisui decided not to use it against Danzo for reasons given above
  • Danzo being his superior he could not have used enough force again, reasons given above.
  • Danzo could've either sent people after him or he went with a few root member's by his side


Shisui's hype also makes this even clearer that it was never a 1 vs 1 fight where Danzo defeated him and took an eye. Also note something important. In order for Danzo to take shisui eye he would have to physically restrain him, whilst removing his eye. Danzo doesn't have that strength in his old age to restrain somebody like shisui (whom though we do not know his age, he was older than Itachi) and take his eye at the same time. Its clear he had help, if this is what happened.

Shisui was hailed as a genius even amongst a clan of geniuses;

By this we can firmly say he was highly proficient in katon based technique's and the sharingan to even awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan. His hype is great enough that Kabuto searched for his DNA, but couldnt find it;

Thread actually isnt long, it just has sub sections. To conclude there is a high possibility that Shisui was never defeated by Danzo in a 1 vs 1 scenario

It will only remain an assumption or self interpretation no matter how much you explain it unti we really see what happened in the manga. What you say is totally baseless, but whatever you can believe what you want. Nice effort though

Thank you for bringing out the difference between the black ops and root so clearly.
And yes I agree. Shisui was never defeated by Danzo in a 1 vs 1 scenario.

You never know. Danzo probably did gain strength from senju cells, and mind you that this was also when kabuto was still just a child, which means he was a lot younger too.

Danzo's eye also awakened again during the end of Sasuke's fight, but he didn't have time to use KA. So it seems that KA isn't as instant as everyone claims, which means that Danzo could have avoided it when he fought Shishui.

Mind you that Danzo was almost on par with Hiruzen in his prime.

Hmm, my theory for this is quite different. Since I do see Danzo beating Shisui in a 1 vs 1.

Let me begin with the eye itachi was given. Itachi was able to use this eye on himself in the war. He said it had an activation time of a decade (10 years). Knowing the time of the Uchiha massacre, which was when Sasuke was 8 years old, there is no way Shisui could have used this eye in that year, since it hasn't been 10 years yet.

The other thing is that Shisui said he tried to stop the coup. So it is likely to believe he used his other eye (Danzos eye) to try and stop it.

This would make it possible for Danzo to take his eyes without flaws.

The 3rd thing is that the way both of his eyes work, are very different. So the one Danzo stole, was the one with shortest activation time since its ability is a lot weaker than the other eye. However, it is possible to use KA on someone without anybody finding, when you use Danzos eye. So this would be the only way for Shisui to use it on a fellow uchiha during their meeting.

Danzo implanted hashirama's dna to boost the time duration of izanagi. I believed he got the sharingan after the massacre where free sharingans were available to him and not before the massacre because iv'e a hard time believing the uchiha clan would be happy to bury their dead with their eyes missing. And In fact shisui made that clear when he made it look like he destroyed his eyes and erased his .

In order words Danzo would have gotten hashirama's dna for the purpose of getting the sharingans which he knew he would have after the massacre and not before. Shisui doing what he did to avoid conflict further states that the uchiha obviously wouldn't be happy if they see a member of their clan's eyes missing at death. Note also that Danzo could not control hashirama's dna at all, and its main purpose was to increase izanagi. It seems he also added this in order to gain him the ability of controlling the fox.

Danzo's eye also awakened again during the end of Sasuke's fight, but he didn't have time to use KA. So it seems that KA isn't as instant as everyone claims, which means that Danzo could have avoided it when he fought Shishui.

Hardly anything is instant especially ms technique's. The only instant is when its activated, however it has to be prepared. With ms technique's there is a build up of chakra in the eye that is necessary to activate the technique. Secondly Danzo was caught in two minds about kotoamatsumaki's usage. He wasn't sure whether to use this technique or through it away for another

Hmm, my theory for this is quite different. Since I do see Danzo beating Shisui in a 1 vs 1.

Knowing the time of the Uchiha massacre, which was when Sasuke was 8 years old, there is no way Shisui could have used this eye in that year, since it hasn't been 10 years yet.

I do not get what you mean. Shisui was planning on solving the problem between the leaf and the uchiha with KA somehow

The other thing is that Shisui said he tried to stop the coup. So it is likely to believe he used his other eye (Danzos eye) to try and stop it.

This would make it possible for Danzo to take his eyes without flaws.

He said he tried to stop it, he later said danzo stole his right eye. Meaning he was in the process of using ka or he was waiting till he could use ka and danzo took advantage of this wait and took his eye

The 3rd thing is that the way both of his eyes work, are very different. So the one Danzo stole, was the one with shortest activation time since its ability is a lot weaker than the other eye. However, it is possible to use KA on someone without anybody finding, when you use Danzos eye. So this would be the only way for Shisui to use it on a fellow uchiha during their meeting.

Explain the bold part.

First of all thank you for expaining the difference in the Anbu and Root Members so clearly it has helped my understanding now between the two and i agree that shisui was in a difficult situation where he knew he had to make in regards to the coup. Given all the circumstances he knew that he would have a major part in the coup. Once he realized Danzo was going to steal his eyes he did what he could to escape with his other one so that way Danzo wouldnt have the other one. With all the hype that alot of characters had about Shisui to lose in a 1v1 with Danzo. You must also be correct about him not using Kotoamatsukami on Danzo, from what we know it only affects one user when it is used and if Fuu and Torune were around he would not have been able to get away without the leaf taking it out on the uchiha. Excellent Thead Blaze.

Do you think that Danzo might have asked Orochimaru for help with obtaining his eye? They did collaborate with his arm and the sharingans? Maybe Shisui was poisoned somehow and impared him when he lost his eye

Who said anything about Shisui planning to use it on Danzo? I thought everyone assumed his original intent was to use it on Fugaku to convince him to stop the coup. I think Danzo didn't agree with Shisui's plan since he wanted sharingan for himself and the only way to do that was to massacre the clan. If it was found out that Danzo was being controlled, wouldn't an all out war breakout between the clan and the village as opposed to a sudden coup or massacre since both sides would know a conflict is inevitable and get ready to act accordingly?
Secondly, its very possible that because Shisui is in roots and his idea's match perfectly with Danzo's he didn't show much restrain against his superior in turn allowed Danzo to take his eye, but also he would have to restrain because if Danzo was to die if further backfires on his plan and this act will be a catalyst if anything for the coup. Danzo most likely knew this and took the opportunity because he is basically invincible. Shisui is at a loss. Kill Danzo and your plan backfires. Show restraint and Danzo takes your eye
What is your train of thought about him killing Danzo? What do you think would happen if he decides to take control of Danzo or to kill him?

Shisui's hype also makes this even clearer that it was never a 1 vs 1 fight where Danzo defeated him and took an eye. Also note something important.

Well I know Shisui was strong and I do agree he didn't fight Danzo in a 1 VS 1 but I think you underestimate Danzo and think he is fodder or something. Even without sharingan and senju DNA, Danzo wasn't too far behind Hiruzen and considered kage level on par with Kakashi and Tsunade despite the fact no one knew about his power ups. When Sasuke killed Danzo, a lot of people were surprised that Sasuke managed to kill such a high level ninja such as Danzo.
