Now take a look at this old man's ideology for a safe country and Shinobi, he wished only what is best for his country.
I hope it help you understand that, this guy is not as bad as people make him out to be, his method's are extreme but he gets the job done, and some time you need just that to solve a problem.
I see, do you extend your sympathies to political terrorists who share that ideology too?
That policeman did that for petty gains like money, while Danzo's reason's were far more big.
Oh, so committing heinous crimes is bad unless you have an agenda. I overuse this argument but then what makes Danzo different from someone like Hitler who had "good" intentions for his country but is a very evil man. Give as many long winded ends justify the means replies as you want. That mentality always results in bloodshed and tyranny. It's because of Danzo's methods that Pain, Kabuto and Sasuke are enemies of the konoha in the first place. You can't toy with people's lives and then be called a hero, you can call Danzo a hero all you want but when you wind up on the short end of of someone else's utilitarian stick you'll think different.

Just because someone loves their village does not mean they are good. Hitler loved his country does that mean he is a hero or anti-hero. Although Danzo is infinitely times better than Hitler but Danzo is more or less an anti-hero not a true hero.

What he did to Nagato when Nagato was a good guy was bad. He betrayed Kabuto and his mother. He stole Shisui's eyes.

The good thing he was doing is protecting Konoha but didn't do anything when Pein invaded. He is a hypocrite because when Pein invaded he wanted to instigate a coup against Tsunade yet he was against the Uchiha coup.

-Lost to Hiruzen for title of kage True
-Stole Shisui's eye I'd call that a win
-Gave birth to Pain (Nagato)'s hate No that was Hanzo
-Forced Itachi to kill the clan He didn't "force" anything, and if he did he's even more of a hero for saving Konoha
-Kidnapped kabuto True
-Made Sai and his brother fight And? That's to make good shinobi
I'd call Danzo more of a hero than a villain.

A ninja is basically a trained assassin, and a ninja village leader (Hokage) is a leader of those trained assassins, he should share that ideology, and Danzo do not kill people out of his heart's desire,he only kills when he sees a necessary threat to his village, he crushes that threat immediately, and that's what he has shown in those 2 column's, this should be the ideology of a ninja leader, if you do not know who ninja were go read a little about them.

And you are comparing Danzo to Hitler, that guy was a resist and a fool who only killed for fun and hate and, have you seen Danzo hating on someone he killed, no, he is far above That scumbag Hitler.

Where Danzo has committed a heinous crime? Killing uchiha was necessary, helping Hanzo was the right call (Akatsuki were rebels in ame but Hanzo was the official leader of the village), trying to confine Naruto was the right choice (Look what A did to Bee), trying to eliminate Sasuke was the right Call (he is a defector),killing that messenger frog was right at the moment (Naruto was not powerful enough to defeat pain),thinking of Anko's elimination was the right choice(because of her Kabuto has become this powerful), eliminate both Kabuto and Nono (this is a basic rule of secret service, when an agent becomes more of a liability,it is good to dispatch him before he become's a threat).

He is one of the true mysteries in the Narutoverse but I still think he is more a villain than a hero. He seems to push the village as a reason and excuse for reaching own goals. Like he wanted to get everything destroyed just so he can become Hokage and have some new hardcore shinobi generation. I also don't see him as the ultimate shinobi who has no feelings and puts the mission first. For that he seems to be too powerhungry.

Having all these Uchiha eyes made me see him as a villain. He is ruthless and cruel and what does it help to protect an empty village where everyone is dead? ;)

He most likely had getting the Uchiha eyes in mind from the beginning on when he formed his plan to destroy the clan.

I see danzo the way the see the justice lords he basically will do anything(AND I MEAN ANYTHING) to make sure the village was safe and unlike hiruzen,danzo wasn't about to negotiate with anything type criminal or threat period(unless it benefited him,hanzo/orochimaru) he was gonna kill them off immediately to make sure they never became a threat, even if it was a possibility that you could become a threat danzo wanted to get rid of you(naruto/kurama)

He's a bit of both.

His methods are tough and harsh but thats what it takes to make a good shinobi, the sooner naruto realises this and stop acting like a child the better.

Being a shinobi isn't all Sunshine and rainbows, shinobi have to make tough choices they have to kill people Innocent or not.
A Shinobi that can't kill is like a gun without Bullets.

When shit hits the fan, Danzo was a true shinobi.

Villain he was out for himself why his whole cause was due to envy for hiruzen and he wanted to be like him and he went down the wrong path.He did not think one second about killing the uchihas and taking their eyes.He made deals with hanzo and oro behind the village back yes these were to protect the leaf but he used these deals for his own selfish reason. Getting hish cell to make him stronger and watching Pain destroy the village and tsunade going into a coma so he could become hokage.
