Same Danzo to me is also the embodiment of by any means necessary

He defintley was a master manipulator that’s for sure

Yep, a true testament to the fact that you can think things are going well until the rug gets pulled out

Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. Looking at you Danzo

@@diallo1347 Yeah I'm sure Danzo never experienced that before growing up in a village literally in a world war.

That tracks.

That's not why smh. He thought it was stupid in the first place to keep it secret. Nine Tails just rampaged a few years back and killed Minato. He leaked the knowledge so some stupid bully wouldn't push him too far and start Nine Tails attack part 2. Chalk it up to another dumb decision on Hiruzen's part.

@@wulaeofthetengu8336 he wanted to weaponize Kurama as a threat to the other nations not cause he thought Hiruzen's idea was dumb and because Hiruzen wouldn't agree to it to make Naruto a perfect jinchuriki like kushina an mito were he got angry with Hiruzen an leaked the info about him hosting nine-tails out of sheer pettiness that he didn't get his way and in doing so he hoped Naruto would become so endrenched in hate that he could use that hate to his advantage an groom Naruto to be his weapon and ofc to test wether the sharingan could control Kurama or not.

@@DeusGamez Kushina and Mito were not perfect Jinchuriki

@@reactiverbossnetwork7619 i understand what you mean, but when i said "perfect" it was in the context of them being the perfect cages for the nine-tails because of their uzumaki lineage an abilities to suppress chakra. i didnt mean perfect in the sense that they gained control over kurama, that honor belongs solely to Naruto alone.

Exactly, and Konohao couldn't of prospered anywhere as well as it did without him in the role he was.

I agree. Danzo is a character that's written to be hated. Kishi nailed it on writing his character. I remember when Danzo arc was on its peak on the manga, everybody hated his a$$. He's that impactful

He's the scapegoat of Konoha, but he was never evil.

I still prefer Nagato as a villain. One of the most terrifying things in the world is a broken idealist. When someone who sees all of the hope and good in the world is beaten down watch out.

🎉9

Lmao ain't that some shii smh!! He was a top tier LOSER, killed by his own creation ahaha!!

In his stupidity he created a problem and then in his failure to create a solution he created the solution. Nice one danzo.

The personification of the consequences of his own actions

Karma is a bitch

Don't forget Kabuto..he tricking nono and Kabuto to killing each other... letting to his further identity Crisis..making him more suspctible being nfluenced by Orochimaru leading to his obsession to obtaining power and become Obito ally during with perfected Edo tensei army

Damn that got deep. Good work buddy 👏

Danzo reminds me of the mentality of becoming the monster you swore to fight.

This why I use him in Storm 4!

not exactly “realistic fear” cuz not everyone in the real world is paranoid and pessimistic like Danzo, like in the real world people become evil and greedy because of fear but danzo’s actions isn’t an example of a basic human man’s really got a hitler mindset and I wouldn’t say u can’t blame him but u can see where he is coming from.

@@ruuwrl you’re right It’s the radical left who is pessimistic and paranoid.

For real he felt like an actual person above all. Someone who started out with potential but became corrupted by jealousy and a desire for power ending up doing far more damage then he ever probably intended

Even the Izanagi arm was played well tbh. He kept it hidden until it needed to be used, as a ninja weapon would be.

Absolutely agreed

The arm was pretty cool though.

That is the point. The way of the Ninja is flawed. Danzo representing it so perfectly, turns him into this failure of man.

Oh you mean when sasuke went super saiyan 2 and just burst out of it for………………..reasons(plot armor)

@@t-god2439 Like Obito said his hatred grew in power and thus he got stronger which was represented in the evolution of his Susanoo. That's the explanation they gave for why he was able to break free of it.

@@OchoCinco420the dubs

More like got taken out the game while the team still won the championship since Konoha survived and became safe and even more prosperous.

Who also cheated their way to final

Thats actually funny 🤣

Wow!! Tobirama said that?? 😂 (The Afterlife)

danzo and Hiruzen are 2 sides of tobirama to the extreme

I mean Tobirama never hated the Uchiha. He judt mistrusted them and I mean that's pretty understandable coming from a guy who had been at war with said Uchiha clan through his entire younger life. Not exactly fair to expect him to just completely kiss and make up. Especially after also seeing what Madara did. But he did still also respect Uchiha and gave them prominent positions in the village and also one of his best friends and advisors was an Uchiha member also.

Everyone's quick to sh*t on tobirama but ignore that he was absolutely right for disliking the uchiha given how madara eventually tried to kill his bestfriend the person that spared his life multiple times, basically created the 1st shinobi war and even after freaking death still came back to create another war, hashirama could have prevented so much death snd suffering if he had just let tobirama make the smart decision of ending madara, hashirama is actually the worst hokage to ever live not only did he give nukes to nations that were power hungry but he also let madara live

Bruh. Hiruzen is a tired old man who lost the fire he had in his in his youth and became soft. That is literally part of his character. Right from his inability to finish off orochimaru, letting danzo run rampant, the constant references to his declining power are all part of who hiruzen is. Him finally finding that fire and resolve to finally finish off his prized student is part of his character arc aswell. Just because a character seems incompetent doesn't mean kishimoto didn't think it through. Both hiruzen and danzo are well thought out characters by the author. . The entire hiruzen - danzo dynamics works because one became too soft while the other became too ruthless to compensate for that.

I agree. I remember crying on the scene of his funeral. He was just that nurturing grandpa to everyone. Now that he's revealed to be scheming behind major turmoils in konoha, I am quiet disappointed. He is that character that's getting worse because of the story progress

He already is to me lol. He deserves the growth he gets easily 📈🙏🏼

There couldn't be a more truer statement my friend

💯he goes really in depth

Hammer does great but i feel like Naruto contentwise Swag and Seth are Itachi Obito lvl and Hammer is Sasori lvl.

Bruh these vids are better than Swag and Seth in my opinion.

Plot armor won sasuke that fight

Nah, not that one. Plot armor did safe his life and prevented him from dying after he won the fight though.

@@___________0Z0X sasuke attacks Danzo the same day he uses kotoamatsukami and pulls up with obito

@@turkeysgotmorecloutthanyou That is true, lucky break I guess. Or maybe Obito waited for Donzo to use it before sicking Sasuke on him. Zetsu was watching the summit. Food for thought.

I mean he didn't keep up with Sasuke though. A Sasuke who had just got done with fighting 4 Kage and wasn't even completely in control of his new eyes yet killed Danzo 10 times in a row.

If I remember correctly, Tobirama managed to kill most of them in that final battle. That's equivalent to a character soloing the Akatsuki and winning.

Well yes. However the lore also describes them as a team of 20 S Rank Rouge Shinobi from the Hidden Cloud Village. And all 10 members of the Akatsuki were S Rank Rouge Shinobi. I’m not saying that all 20 members of the Gold & Silver Squad were Akatsuki level since all 7 members of the 7 Swordsman of the Mist were S Rank Shinobi and most of them weren’t Akatsuki level. But gathering more S Rank Shinobi than the Akatsuki under the rule of just 2 people is impressive no matter how you lowball it.

There's actually a solid chance that they are members of the Hagoromo Clan. They stated that they're descendants of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki which means they aren't from the Hyūga or Hamura (Moon) clan. That leaves the Kaguya, Hagoromo, Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, and Fūma clans. They're obviously not from the Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, and Kaguya clans, so that leaves the Hagoromo and Fūma. The Fūma clan live in Konoha, and we don't know what happened to the Hagoromo clan since the Warring Period, making them the only viable choice.

I've been asking for years of the gold and silver brother video

What if kinkaku and ginkakuare unsealed can naurot kill them and revive kurama?

He’s actually my favorite villain in Naruto! Love his storyline/motivation.

Totally agree!

You love Danzo but I bet you hate Sakura smh

Read the 1st 3 words was about to lose it

@@keithr.4645 me too.

Just like how Kanye hates that Hitler gets no credit for highways💀💀

Do you like Hitler?

@@hoseasylvester2596 Hitler killed himself like a rat in a bunker while his people died in the surface. At least, Danzo died on the battlefield trying to take the enemy with him and not letting them take Shishui's eye.

@@hoseasylvester2596 comparing an anime character to a real life dictator who killed far more for less reasons, not s good comparison.

@@turkeysgotmorecloutthanyouit doesn't matter they both still killed and did bad things for what they believed was right. That is not admirable. It's tyrannical and cruel. And evil. Some of the things Danso did didn't end up protecting the leaf. It just made things worst. Like killing the messanger frog. So that leaves you wondering, all the evil shit Danso did, what did it accomplish?

@@hoseasylvester2596 “both killed and did bad things for what they believed was correct “, what you described is 90 percent of all world leaders except Danzo has a far lower kill count. Danzo and hitler are objectively different because one is a complex human being and another one is an anime character who’s thoughts can be directly interpreted. Hitler also had far less evidence and simply went off assumption whereas Danzo had a decent chunk of proof and had a point. Only thing in common is that they are both militaristic and patriotic, that’s literally it. You are being very disingenuous for saying that despite forgetting that Danzo doesn’t know everything in the verse and can’t see the naruto world the same way you do and is a leader in a world full of killers and walking nukes. Hiruzen is literally too nice to lead the village and he did what he had to do to maintain peace. Danzo has never done anything to make things worse in purpose, most of them were more so the faults of obito or zetsu. If Danzo never killed that frog than naruto wouldn’t have mastered sage mode and would have died sooner, heck naruto still loosing just proved danzo’s point. He brought back hashirama cells to the village which helped both naruto and sasuke, improved medicine, and helped rebuild the village effortlessly. He is also the only reason why the shinobi alliance even became a thing.

Hiruzen and the elders weren't involved.

​@@wulaeofthetengu8336no they were

Problem with this think is ignoring the fact that obito was out there who was willing to take shisui’s eyes as well and if Danzo didn’t take it then obito definitely would have as a result. This is also ignoring the fact that the uchiha rebellion would inevitably happen again because of how the uchiha higher ups felt.

He meant as in he could use them in ways shisui would never think of doing like against the 5 kage etc shisui in danzos mind thought small

@@turkeysgotmorecloutthanyou itachi would never have allowed shisui to be part of the massacre and would have told obito the same his eyes wouldn't have been open to collection

@@turkeysgotmorecloutthanyou complete head canon

So wrong. He saved many many many people by doing the work and things the average person didn’t have the stomach to do. Even when he was plotting and scheming to get into the hokage office, he was protecting the villages best interests. And he never even murdered his own family and clan.

@@moobutt That doesn't disprove what they said as you can save people but still only care about yourself.

It was never about himself. He always focused on Konoha above all else, even it's people, even when he was doing Hiruzen's job.

im glad you're willing to aknowledge he truly believe he was a hero. hes still a villain lol but in his heart he felt like it was right

I think that's the thing. Danzo did everything for the village *and* himself, his only real downfall was his complete lack of trust likely born from his profession. He likely could've convinced the other Kage to unite with him peacefully, but because had immediately used a powerful tool to compel obeisance he was immediately ostracised from his peers and was forced to flee from them. He was a fantastic ninja and used his talents and that of others (whether ethically or literally ripping their eyes out), averting several crisis's that would've rocked the leaf to it's foundation. Several of his tools would eventually be of benefit to the leaf, including his use of the 1sts DNA. His main issue was he wasn't a diplomatic man; and thus could expressively never be trusted to compromise. He was never fit to be Kage for that reason, being a diplomatic leader requires the ability to compromise and smooth over relations, but Danzo was so focused on the means that he lost sight of the smaller picture. Another example of this was when fighting Sasuke, he was constantly thinking about Obito. Basically, he is the Extremist of the Leaf and loves his country as much as his fellows, and undoubtedly was a great man who ensured it's stability without any sign of weaknesses on it's surface by dealing with issues quietly before they destabilised the leaf. Just a man who deals unethically in death, dismemberment and exploitation will inevitably have a terrible but well deserved reputation.

Not Obito and Madara though

Kabuto,Nagato, Enable Orochimaru, Sasuke...

​He's only lightly linked to Nagato. He was only in the Rain at the time to form an alliance between their villages since most wars end up there. The anime had filler that makes him look like he was against the Akatsuki, but in the manga, Hanzo was the one betraying them the whole time. Danzō was just there at a bad time. His research with Orochimaru created Hashi Cells, which benefitted the entire world and made Yamato, who was essential to the Leaf's survival. Don't act like the Uchiha massacre wasn't their own fault. Sasuke's Curse of Hatred proved that Danzō was right.

Wasn't faguku uchiha wanted to be the hokage❗❓✌ I not saying that he sould . I'm just saying he wanted to❗ 👍🌟

He used a but, and -statement. This is like saying “All the children drank water, except Johnny.” It is allowed in the English language as it makes since and is comprehendible

Orochimaru was the one who was skipped over for Minato... Danzo didn't want to be Hokage at that point... He wanted his partner in crime to be in charge..

The CIA act more like real life historical ninja than most Shinobi in Naruto. Danzō is the closest thing.

Oh of course, he is the guy who falls asleep wrapped in the flag

Youre referring to nationalism Patriotism is defined by being explicitly not nationalist Patriotism rides the ideals Nationalism rides on the symbols

I don't think he was ever truly patriotic. That was just an excuse. For me, Danzo was an incredibly selfish man misguided by his own insecurities. He never was able to move on from the fact that Hiruzen was more willing than him to sacrifice for their master. And that said master aknowledged Hiruzen more. So all his schemes were an attempt to take Tobirama's ideals to the extreme and make it seems like Hashirama's ideals and therefore Hiruzen, were a failure He told others(and probably even told himself) that everything he was doing was to protect and advance the leaf like his mentor did, but in the end, all he was trying to accomplish was to gain power and self assurance

Yeah, I think he would be classified as a radical nationalist, it makes even more sense when you consider that most nationalist are of an older generation

The word all of you are looking for is jingoist.

Then the mf whipped out Baku, wood style, Uzumaki fūinjutsu, and the best wind style I've seen in Naruto to date. He was gangster.

danzo is actually like the best written villain.he's not converting and he makes sense as is .

He's actually justified in most of his crimes smh.

That's exactly who he is. His goal was the safety and prosperity of Konoha, but didn't care how he got it.

Nah, He's the 6th Hokage in my eyes. The order to me is Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, Tsunade Senju, Danzō Shimura, Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki, and Shikamaru Nara. I consider Madara because he and Hashirama made Konoha together and Hashirama wanted him to be Hokage, so I consider him the 0th Hokage, the one that should've been.

On point.

my thoughts exactly

I love to hate Donzo, so where does that put me?😂

I love Danzo and like some versions of sasuke

I felt that Danzo was only Ninja like character in the show stealthy, filthy, greedy etc.

He wasn't wrong to kill the toad. Pain was at Konoha to take Naruto, which would allow him to bring the world to it's knees. Last time anyone saw him, he could barely control Kurama, let alone master senjutsu, plus the delay Danzō gave Naruto gave him the time he needed to master Sage Mode, AND HE STILL LOST. Naruto only survived due to plot. Danzō wasn't wrong for trying to prevent Pain from getting what he wanted. You seem to forget that Danzō doesn't know that Naruto is the protagonist.

@@wulaeofthetengu8336 Pain would have captured Naruto too if it weren't for Minato who was dead, lol

There were no kage during the warring states period

Danzo is the KING of getting the WRONG shit done. He got just about everything he wanted my guy. And at the end of it all, he was STILL a failure.

​@@henryriasco5857Was he? He created the Shinobi Alliance, secured Konoha's future, prevented 'Madara' from gaining Kotoamatsukami, and finally sacrificed himself for the village. He won in his book.

his personality in politics and behavior is very very realistic but disgusting. he is one of the few real characters and a show full of anime characters like Naruto and the rest of his generation. danzo believe in power only

At the expense of a lot of things

Not really, shisuis eye helped save the world. Kotoamatsukami broke kabutos control over itachi, and itachi saved narutos life from nagato Edo nd then went and made kabuto undo the Edo tensei

Without Danzo konaha wouldn't have been on top. He kept Konaha very strong

Many say that Hiruzen actually was the strongest hokage ever in history (before Naruto obviously aha) so being Hashirama strong isn't actually true.

That's because the kage power lvs were retconned. Hiruzen in prime originally was the strongest. But during war arc. When maddara was shown. ... It went out the window. In interviews kishi stated he didn't mean to keep madara around. Also due to that had to make hashi stronger than intended.

@@r.a.panimefan2109imo probably the worst Naruto decision besides aliens.

My boy was the epitome of a ninja, and lived through three world wars and created the Shinobi Alliance for the fourth. Bro was built for war. I wish he lived to fight in the war. He would've been a monster.

Same. He's honestly the most overhated character in anime I think. He's a complex character that was written beautifully.

And yet you forgive characters who've done worse shit...

there is the reason he is so hated😂

@@theunknownuser9609 because danzo know what he had do.Not in darkness or something pull him to do that.

@@locy7931 What darkness lol. Almost all Naruto villains are like that because of a trauma in their lifes. Doesn't make them better people than Danzo.

So? Many have done worse in Naruto. Also, Shisui's plan was garbage and would've exposed that the Hokage knew of the coup, forcing them to act before the Hokage was prepared. He took his eye because Shisui refused to halt his flawed plan, and Danzō didn't want him using Kotoamatsukami on him or Hiruzen in some misguided revenge.

Lete

"He wanted to save the Village" lmao. You don't know what you're talking about. Watch again ep 160, Pain is attacking Konoha and Danzo didn't lend any help to save the village. This video is actually bias NCHammer didn't mention it.

@@leonel7597 he did that so he could become hokage and rebuild the village, and he wanted naruto far from the Akatsuki which is also fair

@@turkeysgotmorecloutthanyou But he let the people die and let the village destroyed, it's a simple logic he didn't save Konoha.

He was a gangster.

But in a way that was Danzo's motivation same as Sasuke in the end of the series. If you can focus all your hate on Danzo and totally not look at Konoha and Hiruzen at all then he would be happy. Some fans have figured it out though and started hating Hiruzen which if Danzo was around irl those fans would get the Uchiha treatment.

Skipped the episode smh

Danzō being the one to set up the original Akatsuki's fall is filler. In the manga, Hanzo planned on betraying them the whole time. Danzō was just there to secure an alliance between their villages since most wars end up in the Rain. The anime really vilified tf out of Danzō. Him trying to kill Hiruzen is also filler.

Not redemption just a perspective of Danzo rather than just have him be purely cartoon evil.

@@Trollamollex How is his end different from Vegeta's atonement? And people love Vegeta for his suicide.

@@Viroh I can see the parallels between them but Danzo is different. Kishi dumped lots of the stories problems onto his blame. Danzo didn't have much of a personality that people could admire and relate to as far as those kind of fans go. Vegeta switched sides and became a hesitant hero and put in some miles as far as fighting for "the good guys" goes. Danzo kinda kept doing the same thing he was doing while being the attitude that messed over so many of the characters.

Wasn't that simply because he cut his hand, and she still had a fear of blood at that point? She got over that, and would've killed him without it. Why do you think he did it? Also, don't sleep on Kabuto. At that point, bro was an Iryo (Medical) Shinobi and was considered near Kakashi's level.

⁠@@wulaeofthetengu8336The fact that she had a psychological problem with blood made her incompetent to be a Hokage. The granddaughter of the 1st Hokage being intimidated by a child? Being saved by Naruto? 😅😅

Hitler did everything for Germany. He was evil. Wanting to do good doesn't automatically name you so.

Thought Shisui's plan would fail and he would side with the clan against Konoha. Itachi says the same in his novel. Knows the Uchiha are emotional and would take revenge out on Konoha after the failure of the coup. Knew Akatsuki's goal in capturing Naruto and that they were successful taking every Jinchuriki from every village so far (Bee is still considered missing) and Naruto's capture would spell the end for not only Konoha but the world. Has logic fanbase has none idc.
