Minor plothole

In this panel Sasuke says that he learned the truth about Itachi from Tobi and Danzo. IF you remember Danzo's flashbacks him and Hiruzen we're best friends/rivals. Earlier in the flashback you see Danzo, Hiruzen, and Tobirama all together. So Tobirama definitely knew Danzo. Now when Sasuke mentioned him, shouldn't Hiruzen or Tobirama said something? Like: "Why would Danzo reveal top secret info to you?". I know this is a very minor complaint but you'd think that Hiruzen would want to know what Danzo is up to.

How they could have fixed it (2 panels)
*after Sasuke mentions him*

Hiruzen- "Danzo? why would Danzo tell you such a secret?!"

Sasuke- "I made him tell me right before i killed him"

Hiruzen-

That's not a plothole.

 

[Hipster Madara]

He said tobi first... idk

 

[Horus]

Not a plothole

 

[MuerteMiAmigo]

I'm sure they knew danzo was a jerk and they probably weren't surprised at all

 

[Sir Blades]

That sir is not a plothole, that is just tobirama not giving a **** about danzo, or it is not relevant.

 

[razinzell]

That's not a plothole.

Not a plothole

I couldn't really think of a better word for it but the fact that it didn't happen doesn't really make sense. Like what if Kakashi was there and they mentioned gai? Or Naruto was there and they mentioned Sasuke?

 

[ajflash]

Maybe they didn't give a f**k of what happened to danzo

 

[Murasame]

Its not a plot hole. Tobi had already told Sasuke the truth and danzo confirmed it. Even if Danzo didnt say anything he still would of heard it from Itachi when he was brought back to life. Besides wasn't Tobirama dead before any of that happened? Yeah I'm pretty sure he was.

I don't think you understood the thread

 

[Itachi Rane]

i think the fact that danzo was a douchebag was not suprising to them at all......

 

[Murasame]

I don't think you understood the thread

Well tell me why would hiruzen say that? If Tobi had already told him. Danzo just confirmed it. I read the thread so I dont see how I misunderstood it? Unless you can explain it to me in a better way.

 

[godzillard]

He said tobi first... idk

actually the plot hole is he said he heard the truth about itachi
from TOBI and danzo....they could have asked about danzo........but
they should have asked
WHO the HECK was TOBI!??!

 

[senjumahe]

Lol, d above post is more accurate "who the heck is TOBI",
hiruzen: umm... who is tobi? and how did he.... is he a spy? sasuke tell me!

OT: that's not a plothole

 

[Sarutobi Sasuke]

Obviously, nobody cares about Danzou. You shouldn't either.

 

[Regulus]

Let me tell you about Tobirama. He gives 0 ****s about anything.

 

[Floydical]

As two people have mentioned, Hiruzen has no knowledge of Tobi, at all. Everyone who encountered Tobi during the fox attack was killed and they were never able to relay any of that information to Hiruzen. Like Jiraiya, the entirety of the village still believed it was a random attack, Jiraiya only started suspecting something different near the end of his life.

So yes its a bit of a plot inconsistency considering Hiruzen shouldn't know who Tobi is and the fact that Danzo would not have normally released the information. Therefore, I agree with the OP that the conversation called for more clarifying panels, but considering it was all information that we readers already knew, than no space was dedicated to it.

 

[Melanee]

I wouldn't say it's a plot hole and their conversation is not done yet, so there might be more to come. We only heard the most from the 1st and 2nd Hokage so far. The 3rd and 4th haven't really said a lot.

 

[JIRAIYA perv]

well ..... i don't understand how is this a plot hole. tobirama did know danzo coz he was danzo's sensei, and dazo like every villain has to talk and reveal everything (ya i know ..... these villains even explain their abilities sometimes lol) thinking it doesn't matter coz he will win anyway. now i like the scenario you just created, and we might actually see it in the next chapter (there is still room for that)

 

[jaykuhz]

Lol look at how Tobirama chose Hiruzen as Hokage and now look at Danzou.
