After reading the comments, I’m utterly disappointed. You guys clearly misinterpreted his vile actions as for the ‘sake of Konoha’s future’. His actions are evidently contrary to his principles/convictions. If by protecting the village entails exterminating the uchiha clan and attempting to assassinate his own comrade which is none other than the 3rd hokage, then it apparently insinuates that he has no regard for the village whatsoever. He had never demonstrated any kind of shinobi ethics apart from his own selfish pursuits in trying to obtain more considerable power such as taming the nine tails and procuring sharingans. Not to mention, he allied with orochimaru and recommended him in the selection of fourth hokage which could potentially lead the village into dire circumstances, considering orochimaru had heinous intentions. Additionally, isolating the uchihas and forbidding them from assisting the kyubi attack due to his paranoid ass, leaving the uchiha clan no choice but to form a revolution. Thereafter, he dissuaded and opposed hiruzen’s method for a compromise with the uchiha, taking the predicament into his own hands by compelling a 13 year old to annihilate the entire uchiha clan. If you still think his actions are justified as ‘protecting the village’ then it does beg the question, where the fuck was he during the assault of orochimaru, obito and even pain ? In summary, he is a hypocritical bastard which doesn’t deserve any recognition
I am pretty sure danzo was on house arrest from the time of the Uchiha massacre all the way to Lady Tsunades appointment as hokage that's why he wasn't there for the orochimaru invasion and pain invasion he was hiding so he could become Hokage
That is not the point mate, Danzo is not respectable for wanting to "protect the village", Danzo wants to create a totally different ninja system and for that he does not hesitate to act without ethical limitations such as killing Hiruzen or erradicate all the Uchihas for being hostile for his plans . As Danzo says: The result justifies the facts. And that's why Danzo admires Itachi and rejects Shisui. Because Itachi was not an idealist and he acted with logic without emotions intervening. Danzo always wanted to be like Hiruzen, sacrifice and valor, but he took it to the extreme and that is why he wanted to make his own empire with his rules of being a ninja. He is admirable for trying to do it, he followed his will and died with his ideals standing. Life is sometimes gray and not pink, my friend.
This song represents Danzo perfectly. It's not as openly ominous like the Akatsuki's themes but it's quiet, mysterious, and creepy nonetheless. A silent and calm foreboding....
It’s the faint rattle tht does it for me me bc he’s like a rattle snake you know wht he’s abt without asking his presence in any situation just put u on guard
Are you referring to the other comment that says "beautiful. So mysterious?", because if so, you can clearly see that I wrote mine a few months before, so I am neither an "imitation" or "very idiot".
Danzo. He could be a scorpio. Thats mean from the outside. But is nice from the inside. I believe he was the person who was following orders without questioning about it. Even if the commander changed his mind. He's life was a choose wisely situation.
@Maple Lord Anbu are special forces which serve the leaf answer to the Hokage.. Danzo commands the foundation with in the Anbu spec ops who answer to him
He is interesting, because he is a portrayal of a real position in politics and in intelligence operations. He will do whatever it takes to protect the village. This absolute position makes him impossible to deal with for others especially more moderate persons. He is a classic nationalist 'strike first' fanatic. Brilliant character. Really well written.
lol yet all he did was chase sarutobi and named it as his job to protect konoha in reality he did all that to acquire the hokage place he is the most selfish shitty guy the reason for all crap if you say....he got what he deserved he shouldn't have got a good farewell....
@@darkking2264 Then you can also use that argument for what itachi did, all he did for years was to run around doing all the horrible jobs the akatsuki was made to do by their clients.
On the one hand the fight vs sasuke made me extremely angry cuz of excessive and unnecessary usage of isanagi. On the other hand danzo deserves to die more than anyone and i don't really care
@@alian6965 he spammed it because he had to weaken sasuke as much as he could while buying time and chakra for kotoamatsukami that he would have to use on obito and saying Danzo deserved to die for his actions sounds like something Danzo would have said
What a character Danzo was. I love the character development of Danzo for sure. He hides behind the leaves by protecting the Konaha and then he betrays the people by doing things like you know what that I can't say here. Loved every moment of how things turn out in Shippuden. I always knew something was messed up entirely way too much from what we already knew. But when Toby and others mentioned everything what he did and the thing with Shisui, JUST WOW! That's all I have to say.
@@HackersPediaOfficial Lol what the fuck. Danzo was great from a literary perspective, but as a person, he was a total fucker. He fucked with so many people's lives, and he arguably did more harm than good.
I actually fucking hate him for his decisions even though he had good reasons however I will never deny that he was truly a great villain and an excellent character in Naruto
Actually he was the only vilain in naruto. Without him = no itachi betrayal, no sasuke betrayal, no wars, no Pain, no akatsuki and probably tobi would never be evil and without him orochimaru is nothing, so no madara. He was the greatest vilain in naruto, unlucky he died to the dumbest and shittiest character in naruto (im not talking about sakura.)
@@justanotherguy8154 i mean the old lady could've beaten Sasori if she really put an effort into it, and sure she healed naruto but that was literally the only useful thing she did
This song embodies what it means to be a root that grows in the darkness. There are so many great things people do that go unnoticed, things we are used to that are maintained by people in the darkness. Yet their roots hold us up, the leaves basking in the sunlight from the fruit of their labor. Truck drivers, delivery people, food distributors, clothes makers, bread bakers etc. The real root of society that holds us up never to recieve praise or merit yet they continue to maintain the traditions that keep us going. If you are doing an insung job just know I salute you.
Danzo was the product of two great Shinobi Wars he didn’t sugar coat anything or pretend to be blind to the reality of his world. In my opinion he’s the purest ninja whether u liked him or not. People of his mindset were necessary for Survival. RIP The Foundation
Danzo killed his own people, wiped out entire clans under his care, tried to kill his leader and friends and tried to destroy his home multiple times all to obtain the title of Hokage. His actions created the Akatsuki and drove the Uchiha to extinction. He cared for nothing and no-one other than himself. Danzo did nothing right and made the world a worse place with every action he took.
LOL you clearly forgot when Pain attacked the village he was not fighting and commanded the Anbu Ne to also not fight. That among other things make him a piece of human waste.
The story of the man called Danzo is in fact a tragic one. In his youth, Hashirama's Will of Fire burned brightly within his heart, and he would sacrifice anything to protect his village and his friends. ...However, as time passed and his jealousy of Hiruzen, a man he once considered a brother, festered, something else took root. Something dark. Over a life time of conflict he grew jaded and disillusioned; and so he began to obsessively pursue power. His Will of Fire becoming twisted and dark. The story of Danzo is a grisly, cold, and bleak cautionary tale. Cherish your comrades and home...but take heed. The man called Danzo once did the same...but he allowed his heart to grow cold. Because of this, the shadows cast by the Root, by his Foundation still reach far and wide, and not even the bravest and most driven of souls dare try to uncover what lies within the deepest of it's shadows. For some things should remain there, buried under the deepest Roots. Far away from the sunlit world of the leaves, deep below the harsh, frigid earth...in darkness so deep, that light will never gaze upon those secrets... (Edit: some grammar and wording.)
I never understood all the hate parade against danzo.. he's a goddamn ninja how tf do you expect him to act like he's in a light hearted romantic comedy movie? His devotion to his village is underappreciated
@@Mel-ng3ob his lack of trust in his comrades got him where he is.. and everybody including him paid a heavy price for it i agree.. but n the end, he was a true shinobi
Mel he helped the village in many ways, he is the one who patrols the village more, he makes the meetings with kage privately, and he is the one who makes all the dirty decisions while the hokage do light paper work.
@@lightyagami8645 Its just what u consider good. He handles all the dirty work. He is like police. They never do good work, they just arrest and torture people in the name of justice. He doesnt do good he just stops from something happening to village at the cost of individuals themselves.
M Gebrezgiy no matter how much I disagree with the uchiha downfall, they were a shinobi clan above all. They paid the price for Breaking the rule of compramising the organisation. Its the risk of the job. However danzo did manipulate events which makes the uchiha downfall completely unnecassary and all the more tragic. Good thing the foundation was expelled and the agents presecuted.
I have zero idea why Danzo didn't like Shisui's alternative of Kotoamatsukami. It was like he found the perfect opportunity to annihilate them once and for all without considering the OPness of Kotoamatsukami which could've completely manipulated the clan members into removing all the ill feelings they had for the village
Pat Rick because the issues won‘t dissapear. Danzo said the result would be the same. The uchiha would develope their hate again because the konoha people would still hate them because they fear the uchiha‘s power
@@yurichtube4915 a lot of that was Tobirama's fault. I love the 2nd hokage, but alienating the Uchiha didn't exactly help ease the tension between the leaf and the Uchiha. Danzo did what he did for the leaf. It was brutal, and fucked up, but he won the war before the battle even started manipulation or not. Dude was dangerous. I think Sasuke's victory over him was one of the most underrated W's of the entire series.
Danzo was one of the best characters because he was one of the few real ninjas in the series. Murder, espionage, deceit, betrayal, subterfuge, nationalism, seizing power, destabilizing other countries; all the things people hate him for are exactly what ninjas are supposed to do. Kishimoto brainwashed his fans into thinking that ninjas are supposed to wear flashy outfits and make friendship speeches,
Danzo is the realest person and probably the closest to a real human when making decision. just like any inteligent agency. It's a dirty job, but it's needed to choose the less evil one.
Danzo was the darkness konoha needed. No humanity, no comprise, just plain decisions no matter what the cost for konoha sake. You may dislike him but damn he was AT LEAST in the top 5 of Naruto's caracters the most interesting. I would love to see more story on how he protect the village from the shadows
As much as we all hated him, he played bad cop all his life while he let others play good cop. He is the shadow of the leaf after all. He's what Sasuke is to Naruto.
Danzo is a kind of man who's willing to do everthing even if its evil in order to protect the village.His the reason of the Death of all uchiha clan and the mastermind of Yahiko's Death
Danzo had good character devolopment, i liked him as a Villian for the Leaf, in a way he was one of the best villians in the series, but he repented for his sins and the final act he did was trying to stop Sasuke and Obito from destroying the leaf, it naruto, there are no true villians.
@Spare Slipstreamz Really? last time i checked joining a terrorist group was a bad thing, Sasuke in Taka form was an idiot, that was reckless and almost went blind. Both Danzo and Sasuke were wrong, Danz thought of the village living on, thats why he killed the whole uchiha clan, because of them were evil, but i'm not pardoning his actions.
@Spare Slipstreamz Danzo was the most bad ass character in the naruto series, because he showed no emotion for what he did, you might hate him for that, but thats what makes him a good character.
@Spare Slipstreamz No, Sasuke was not doing the right thing, because after that ass killed danzo he wanted to destroy the leaf, and take over the whole world. Is that right? Simply No.
@Spare Slipstreamz It wasn't right, there is a big difference, because Itachi wanted Sasuke to stay away from the Akatsuki, he was doing the right thing, not sasuke, sorry to say my friend, but your sense of morality, well it ain't good.
@@khanosama2605false, one sasuke was weakened from his previous battles, and sasuke killed Danzo more than once in their fight. Izanagi is what kept saving him, sasuke at that time beats Danzo’s ass.
Danzo Shimura was one of Kishimoto's most wasted villains. He was a member of one of the founding clans of the Leaf, one of the village's first generation shinobi, partner of Sarutobi, veteran of three wars, the head of the CIA equivalent ninja, the personification of the director of intelligence, who He starts out as an extremist dedicated to the security of the nation and ends up as a self-serving corrupt politician. All this was enough to introduce and develop the character for several dozen chapters of the manga, to influence the plot for a time and leave an important legacy. And what is it that incompetent Kishimoto does? He introduces him at the beginning of Shippuden as Sai's boss, who opposes Tsunade out of jealousy over his position and one of the few sane men who wants to kill Sasuke early on. (I also have to add how bad Kishi developed Sai, who looked more like a ninja than almost the entire cast of Konoha, even so he ends up becoming a secondary and comic relief, because somehow he ended up liking Naruto and his speeches nonsense about never giving up on the pursuit of a toxic friendship. Whatever, another victim of the talk no jutsu). He then reveals us as the orchestrator of the Uchiha massacre, a blatant attempt by the mangaka to whitewash the Uchiha, YES, SAINT ITACHI THE DUTIFUL by transforming Shimura into the most hated character in the series. Later somehow he becomes Hokage after the Pain arc and Kishi proceeds to demote him to a stupid Bond villain, who ends up getting caught using his sharingan at an international summit, not to mention his anticlimactic death, be used as a punching bag for Kishidrugs to give the emo even more power ups. And then everyone forgets about him, no one uncovers his dirty secrets, Sasuke is pardoned from his magnicide as if the whole damn village revolves around Naruto and his teenage whims. Damn Kishimoto, use your few neurons to think about making some sense of your damn work, this is nauseating.
Despite Danzo's hungriness for power, he would be a good character. He is the type of person to protect the village even if it means slaughtering an entire clan. If there was more back story to him, we would be able to know more about him. He is basically the Guardian of Konoha. By far one of my favorite characters besides Orochimaru. They both really have 1 thing in common. They are both very ominous characters. One despises Konoha and the other one is there to protect Konoha. I find Danzo a good character.
@Itachi Is superior to you sasuke is one the worst most stupidly written character, obito is alright, orochimaru is the best written character along with danzo
Danzo and Orochimaru being comrades sounds quite interesting because, Orochimaru wanted Konoha to be destroyed, while Danzo made the most cruel decisions to protect the village, so technically their views are opposing. They only agreed on Hiruzen needs to leave office cuz he sucks badly as hokage
Danzo is a perfect example of what a real shinobi is. Always in the shadows, for the good of the village. One would think he was bad or his methods were cruel but give one thought too his up-bringing and you'd notice he wasn't born in an era of peace. His sensei, the Second Hokage, died for his village. So too did danzo, for protecting the Leaf was the only purpose. R.I.P LORD DANZO
Tell me one good thing he did for the village.This man wanted to make orochimaru hokage,he was the one who wanted to kill sarutobi and when the village was attacked by the nine-tails this rat didn't even come to the surface,he just standed underground.and that happened when orochimaru attacked the village too,he did nothing so stfu and think twice before kissing a bitch ass
@M Jig lol seriously you believed that he was a obsessed crappy old man who couldn't live with the fact that his buddy became hokage everything he did was to overthrow hiruzen he only named it as his duty to fool everyone yet the writer gave him good ending as if he were a hero yet he was only a bitch who ambushed 3 orphan kid butchered an entire clan all that for his own selfish vendetta and he named it as his duty to konoha such a bitch only his theme is good...😌🤣🤣🤣
People will say they hate Danzo, "he do bad stuff, he bad man". People will also say they think a character like Deidara (literally a terrorist) is cool. Obito (moron being angry at the world over one girl) is cool. Kakuzu (only cares about money) is cool. Hidan (sacrifices people involuntarily for his religion) is cool. At least Danzo has a belief system that he truly thinks is right, and makes harsh decisions for the sake of his home. He's not perfect, he has his flaws and selfish impulses. But that's true for anyone, even our historical heroes. Danzo, a realistic character existing in a show where adolescent fantasies and beliefs prevail, rather than something believable and more accurate that reflects the world we live in. You don't have to like Danzo, but you don't have to hate him. Only normies and children hate Danzo. For these people have no grasp on how the world actually works.
I second this. Danzo is similar to a character from shakespeares hamlet. its difficult to explain. a power hungry character whos faithful to his nation is portrayed as an antagonist and goes againt another antagonist which is the main character of the story.
Useless well you could say so. But when Orochimaru attacked I think Kishi had no idea Danzō existed. When pain attacked he deliberately did not interfere to get rid of tsunade. Not caring would be just sitting around drinking tea. He did care.
Top Anime Clips It would have. Despite how hated he is in the Naruto community, he was a pretty significant driving force for a lot of conflicts that went on in the story
Please man... please... show me best fight you ever seen in dragon ball... I will show you sasuke vs kinshiki and the conversation will be over... Dragon ball maybe have good story but it isn't enough... Dragon ball look like shit... It's sad true.
Danzo: I hope your proud of me lord tobirama, I’ve got the uchiha clan annihilated. Down to one uchiha. Tobirama: Danzo , you didn’t :o Danzo: & get this , it was an uchiha that did it. Tobirama: *Smiles* Welcome Home. :)
@Calisto Horn we understood actually, he was a real motherfucker, all he did was for his own purposes, he wanted to make orochimaru the new hokage, he stole the eye from shisui, the eye that could have saved the uchiha from getting killed, and a lot more of stupid bullshit, it was so delicious whem sasuke killed him
@@rinzler1767 exactly. Not to mrntion he even used the eyes of the deceased uchiha for his izanagi setup. And killing the frog messenger which would've avoided the destruction of Konoha since Naruto would've returned
I don’t care what anyone says, Danzo is one hella of a character, at the end of the day, he did everything for the leaf village, hate him or not, he did what he had to do in order to save the village. I wish there was a moment where we were able to see what would have happened if the itachi didnt kill the uchiha clan. I feel like the situation would have be even more difficult then what we’re given
Danzo is simply misunderstood, which is why he is so hated by many. Danzo was willing to sacrifice anyone to protect his village, no matter the cost. This mentality also stemmed within Tobirama, the second Hokage of the hidden leaf village. Danzo's character is dark and mysterious, but with a hint of love, pain, anger and regret from his younger years. If Danzo had become Hokage and stayed Hokage, I believe the hidden leaf village would be much better, as Danzo only wanted to protect his village. But, let us keep in mind that many leaders give many promises and some fall short of those promises.
Bro, he literally tried to use wartime and genjutsu to make himself commander of the alliance, he helped a dictator kill the leader of a peace keeping organization to secure his position, he had a hand in creating the greatest enemy to the nations, he conspired with a rogue ninja to gain more power, he stopped the sos from getting to naruto which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians so he could have a reason to oust tsunade, he put Itachi through hell, stole shisui's eye which resulted in shisui commiting suicide, desecrated the dead uchiha by stealing their eyes, tried to steal kakashi's eye, leaked the information about naruto being the jinchuriki, sold out multiple anbu to orochimaru in order to get to sasuke, and even had a hand to play in the destruction of the uzumaki clan. He may have had good intentions, but he became corrupt and power hungry.
if i was a history teacher i think i would make so many references to naruto, vinland saga, bleach, and so many more because they genuinely helped me understand why countries go to war (ik it should be obvious but i never understood how deep it goes and the process of how big a snowball can get) plus it really engages kids anyways
最高K POP finally. In a world like naruto where the strongest people are usually the most unstable, danzo has the be the one to do all the dirty work that kage’s have to be doing. Taking all the blame for the greater good and making rational decisions is the person any village needs.
people are spewing hatred against Danzo. he did all these actions for the future and integrity of Konoha he is one of the most intelligent and cunning statesmen in the series. Although people hate him for emotional reasons, there was no political mistake in what he did, he did his duty as expected from a statesman, so even though people hate him, I like him because I think he is realistic and dutiful.
Guys the music instrument used in this theme is called Duduk. Its an armenian musical instrument and i ordered it online because of this theme. Its not easy to play but with practice it gets easier. I recommend Duduk in Key A, it seems to be easiest to play. I dont know what key is used in Danzo theme but if i had to guess by ear i think its G key.
@@Xtemess "BuT JaPaNeSe Is BeTtEr DuB iS sHiT". Jk. William Frederick Knight absolutely killed it as Danzo. Japanese is pretty great also but I haven't watched enough of the sub to make a proper judgment
@@WalterOfMikado i watched both and I think that voice actors completely change the character, dub one sounded weak and not taken seriously, where in sub he sounded powerful and as a real villain, in my opinion
Very nice man this give me Chills its perfect for studying and I like danzo the way he acted and his way of justice got me like dang this dudes should've been the third Hokage tho
lol seriously you believed that he was a obsessed crappy old man who couldn't live with the fact that his buddy became hokage everything he did was to overthrow hiruzen he only named it as his duty to fool everyone yet the writer gave him good ending as if he were a hero yet he was only a bitch who ambushed 3 orphan kid butchered an entire clan all that for his own selfish vendetta and he named it as his duty to konoha such a bitch only his theme is good...😌
@@Shelling_Ford my guy, danzo desecrated fucking corpses to gain power. HE HELPED A DICTATOR KILL A PEACE KEEPING ORGANIZATION'S LEADER FOR POWER. HE CREATED THE AKATSUKI IN HIS SEARCH FOR POWER. HE LEAKED THE JINCHURIKI INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC. HE SOLD OUT COUNTLESS ANBU TO OBTAIN POWER. HE LET THE LEAF GET TURNED INTO A PILE OF DIRT TO COSOLODATE POWER. We dont hate him because he has the sharingan, we hate him because he had a hand to play in multiple tragedies.
Everyone has their views on what is and isn't evil, Danzo himself is a prime example of that, he has done his actions because he believed that it was good. I think that's why he's maybe the best written character in Naruto. His views on what's good and bad are different from anyone else. I don't defend him nor do I hate him, for me, he's one of the best villains ever.
This been sumtime since I finished naruto and hearing I just started crying like crazy all the memories just hit me like a gunshot and I realized I had more close a cherished memories with naruto rather than the actual world....
I personally loved Danzo, he’s one of my favorite characters. I note his constant concern for the sake of the Leaf village, and his harsh decisions in order to protect it. I think Danzo is just misunderstood, and many of these fanboys don’t see things from his perspective. I truly enjoyed Danzo up to the point where he died, wishing to do what was best for the Leaf village. Also, I believe he would’ve been a greater Hokage than Sarutobi.
Danzo protected the village ?, the only thing he did is fuck her more, he caused the birth of pain (nagato), and that for the future he was going to fuck the village, caused the Uchiha clan to go to hell and Sasuke had a great resentment of his brother and ended up becoming the emo avenger and Itachi joined Akatsuki, caused the death of Itachi's parents and the death of his girlfriend, etc.
@@CrimsonMaskedSaiyan616 this dude is moron.Danzo LET Orochimaru attack village in part 1 ,then he let Pain kill WHOLE village instead of trying to use Shisui's MS
Jiren Del Universo 11 danzo was just concerned and didn’t want an overthrough of the hidden mist. The uchiha has it coming for trying to start a coup and even itachi hates most of them. And sasuke would be an emo avenger no matter what happened
Useless danzo didn’t try and attack orochimaru cause he wanted to save his eyes for godly threats and he knew hiruzen could have dispatched of him. Pain is too strong for danzo and he knew his limits like anyone else. This might be head canon but I’m not sure if the kotoamatsukami works on people stronger than you as it has only been used on weaker opponents
yeah, good things he did, stealing shisui's eye, implanting hasirama's cells in his body, using sharingan of the dead uchiha, teamjng up with orochimaru? dude give me a break, uve gotta be kidding me
I think a side-story with Danzo as the lead would be a masterpiece. Just from reading all these comments, there's clearly a lot of depth to this guy, and it would be interesting to see how his spirit was gradually corrupted from his youth until he became the sole ninja in a world of shinobi.
