Danzo Shimura

Tobi:
I suppose this is the extent of Sasuke’s power…

Danzo:
You were too hasty. My last eye still opens. Go to Itachi. You need a lecture for all the good to, do you? I win… Sasuke.

Karin:
What’s going on? I feel… wait, that’s… !

Danzo:
You may think that you see through my Izanagi, but… Huh?! What?! What is this… ?!

[Danzo coffins blood]

Danzo:
Why won’t Izanagi activate?!

Tobi:
Danzo… you were right. Sasuke’s Genjutsu is no way near as refined as Itachi’s.

Danzo:
Why you… Insolent boy…

Sasuke:
You’re the one who is going to see Itachi.

Karin:
Uh-Huh! Just as I thought! This one is the real Danzo!

Danzo:
AAAGGGHHH!!!

Tobi:
It’s a far cry from Itachi’s Tsukuyomi in which he could freely manipulate time within a Genjutsu. But even a weak little Genjutsu with no stain power can be mighty, depending on how it’s used…

Danzo:
Uuugh…

Tobi:
With Izanagi, a Sharingan is cast away once the Jutsu is been exhausted. But eye will keep the Jutsu acting for sixty seconds. However… Sasuke’s relentless attacks might have appeared to be suicidal, but they were intended to completely shut down all of Danzo’s Sharingan, one by one… Sasuke knew exactly what he was doing. Before Danzo and Sasuke exchange blow with, just then, every Sharingan on Danzo’s right arm are already shut. Sasuke is Uchiha… and he possess the Mangekyo Sharingan. His powers of observations are still greater than yours, Danzo. Faster than you could realize, Sasuke emplaced Genjutsu on you. Making it look like the last eye on your right arm is still open. You were concerned about inexact nature of how long the Izanagi would last. So you kept checking with the Sharingan on your right arm. Sasuke noticed that. He wanted to make you think the Izanagi would last longer and it only took a settle change. He’d already confirmed that he can place you under Genjutsu even if just for an instant. Sasuke seized his opportunity. Because you possess the Sharingan, you underestimated how to use it in battle. Your arrogance has lead you to defeat.

Sasuke:
Now that’s the battling with your eyes. Never mock the Uchiha!

Tobi:
Danzo couldn’t use Shisui’s eye… but still… Good job pressing as far as you did, Sasuke. Looks like I’ll be able to take Shisui’s eye soon. The “Foundation” should have hidden under ground.

[Sasuke collapsed]

Karin:
I’m coming, Sasuke! You Okay? Hurry! Go on, byte down!

[Sasuke bytes Karin’s arm]

Karin:
Aaah!

Tobi:
Bringing that woman along was a wise decision. She seems very useful. I see now why Sasuke choose her to be the part of his team.

Danzo:
I can’t believe it... How can I lose to such a brat… I cannot go down here or dye yet…

[Danzo’s right arm goes out of control]

Danzo:
AAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!! No! At this rate, I’ll be taken over by the First Hokage’s cells.

[Danzo separates his right arm]

Tobi:
He is near death and he is loosing ability to control Chakra. Hashirama’s power is certainly not easy to manage.

Karin:
Unbelievable! He is so persistent!

Danzo:
No, not yet. This is where we battle with our eyes…

Tobi:
The visual prowess on his right eye has returned. I see. So that was his plan. He was covering with Izanagi until Shisui’s eye recuperated.

[Danzo takes Karin as hostage]

Tobi:
Shisui’s visual prowess… I see… Danzo is debating whether to use it for Genjutsu or sacrifice it for the Izanagi.

Danzo:
You used your visual prowess too much…

Karin:
Help me… Sasuke…

Danzo:
Sasuke is no longer useful. Madara is the one I need to place under Genjutsu. And manipulate. I can’t waste time. My wound is deep.

Tobi:
Now, Sasuke… what will you do?

Sasuke:
How ironic… that you who extolled self-sacrifice would take a hostage.

Danzo:
It’s not that I consider my life too precious. But for the Leaf… and the whole Shinobi World… I simply cannot afford to die here today. No matter what the means, I must survive. For I will be the one, the reformer, who will change the Shinobi World. And this woman is just a sacrifice to that cause.

Karin:
Sasuke, help… do something…

Sasuke:
Don’t move Karin… hold still…

[Sasuke stabs Danzo along with Karin]

Danzo:
Agh… He had a vital point… right through the hostage…

Tobi:
Huhuhuhu… Now, that’s my boy.

Sasuke:
One down. Soon the rest, big brother…

Tobi:
You didn’t have enough time for the Izanagi, did you Danzo?

Karin:
Sasuke… was I nothing to you? Was I just…

Sasuke:
Karin… If you’re slow enough to be taken hostage, than you’re just the burden.

[Karin collapsed]

Karin:
Sasuke…

[Tobi appears]

Tobi:
Danzo, I’m taking Shisui’s eye…

[Past]

Yashiro:
Is Itachi in there?! Come here! We need to talk!

Itachi:
What’s going on? What are you all doing here?

Yashiro:
There were two people who didn’t show up in yesterday’s assembly.

Inabi:
You wanna tell me why YOU weren’t there? You’re in the Anbu-Black Ops now, I know full well you can be call the way drop off the hat and that’s the case your father was trying to make when we ask why you weren’t there.

Yashiro:
But we’re not him. So you won’t get any special treatment from us.

Itachi:
I understand. Guessed I should’ve been more careful. Well, that’ll be all, gentlemen?

Yashiro:
Yeah, sure thing… but, you know what? Before we go, there’s just one other thing. Know anything about Shisui Uchiha? He killed himself in Nakano River.

Sasuke:
He was the one who took Shisui’s eye…

[Past]

Hiruzen:
That was close! Danzo, you all right?

Danzo:
I’m fine! Why did you interfere, Hiruzen?!

Hiruzen:
Come on, don’t be that way. I just want to lose no comrade in the situation like this, you know?

Danzo:
You were alive! Kagami, Torihu!

Torihu:
Yeah, by some miracle.

Kagami:
They are way too many of them! What now, Hiruzen?

Hiruzen:
All right then. Let’s go meet up with the Second Hokage!

Second Hokage:
We’ve being surrounded. There are… twenty of enemy Shinobi. From the tracking ability, I’d say they are Cloud Ninja… A highly skilled Kinkaku Unit.

Homura:
We’re only seven including you, Load Second. We’re outnumbered…

Koharu:
Homura, stop being such a coward! All right, the enemy is not yet pinpointed our exact location. So we wait and ambush them. Then break through to escape.

Kagami:
No, that’s not gonna work. The only way would is one of us draws their attention and direct them.

Torihu:
The rat for the lure… means certain death… So who?

Danzo:
I am a Shinbi. I resolved die like one on the battlefield. Saru tell me… What are you thinking, I wonder… Are you prepare to make sacrifice?

[Danzo’s feet trembles]

Danzo:
Go ahead! Say it! Then I’ll… Oh, what’s wrong? Why can’t I say that I’ll do it?!

Hiruzen:
I’ll go do it.

Danzo:
Huh?!

Torihu:
Sarutobi?!

Homura:
Hiruzen… are you sure?

Hiruzen:
Ha, don’t worry about me. I don’t make a break but I know I have the best chance out of all of you to pull this off. I’m not gonna die.

Danzo:
My trembling… It stopped… Damn it! I’m such a coward! Somewhere demon inside my heart right now… I’m relieved…

Hiruzen:
You look after the others, Danzo, Okay? I trust you…

Danzo:
Shut up! I was going to volunteer, you know! Don’t try to steal the line of my light! I’ll be the lure! Not you!

Hiruzen:
Danzo, I…

Danzo:
My father and grandfather died in battle as Shinobi! Self-sacrifice is a Shinobi’s duty!

Second Hokage:
I will go out and play the lure, of course. You’re the one who’s going to carry on the will of fire who will defend our village in the future.

Danzo:
But you can’t! I mean, you’re the Hokage! There’s no greater Shinobi in our village!

Second Hokage:
Danzo, you were always fighting over Saru for a one thing or another. But what’s necessary here is for you to work together as comrade. Don’t make this a personal fight. The fact is, you took too long to reach your decision. First, you must take a hard look at yourself, and come to understand who you are, objectively. Or else, at this rate, you’ll place all your comrades in danger. In any case, Danzo and Saru. You need not to be so eager at your young age. Your day will come eventually. And until it does, you should endeavor to stay alive. Saru...

Hiruzen:
Uh?

Second Hokage:
Love and treasure the village and protect all those who believe in you, and virtue those Ninja. To whom you can entrust the next generation. Starting tomorrow, you’re a Hokage. Saru, take care of the Leaf.

Hiruzen:
Yes sir!

Danzo:
Sarutobi… you’re always walking ahead of me…


Danzo:
For the Shinobi world and the Leaf! I cannot let you two continue to live!

Tobi:
Ugh! It’s a Reverse Tetra gram Sealing Jutsu! Sasuke, get away from Danzo!

Danzo:
Hiruzen, It’s my turn next…

Third Hokage:
When the tree leaves damps, one shall find flames. The fire… shadow, illuminate the village. And once again, the tree leaf shall find the new…

Danzo:
Just as you gave your life… to protect the Leaf Village. This time, I will too. I will stop them… But in the end, I never got to be a Hokage. No matter how far I run… I’ve been never… catch up to you…

Danzo:
You… were a tree leaf upon the light show. I… was nothing but a foundation… hidden… in darkness… So, what do you think of me? Eh, Hiruzen? What was I… to you?
