Danzo Shimura

I suppose this is the extent of Sasuke's power.

You were too hasty. My last eye is still open.

Go to Itachi. You need a lecture, for all the good it'll do you.

I win, Sasuke.

What's going on?! I feel... Wait, that's--!

You may think that you've seen right through my Izanagi, but--

[gasp]

What?! What is this?!

[wet cough]

Why won't the Izanagi activate?

[panting]

Danzo, you were right, Sasuke's genjutsu is nowhere near as refined as Itachi's.

Why, you insolent boy!

You're the one who's going to see Itachi!

[panting]

Ah ha! Just as I thought! This one's the real Danzo!

Eeeaaggh!!

Augh... oof!

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 staying power can be mighty, depending on how it's used.

With Izanagi, a Sharingan is cast away once the jutsu's been exhausted.

One eye will keep the jutsu active for 60 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 exchanged blows just then, every Sharingan on Danzo's right arm had already shut.

Sasuke is an Uchiha. And he possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan.

His powers of observation are still greater than yours, Danzo.

Faster than you could realize, Sasuke had placed a genjutsu on you,

making it look like the last eye on your right arm was still open.

You were concerned about the inexact nature of how long the Izanagi would last.

So you kept checking 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 subtle change.

He'd already confirmed that he could place you under genjutsu, even if for just an instant.

Sasuke seized his opportunity.

Because you possess the Sharingan, you underestimated how to use it in battle.

Your arrogance has led to your defeat.

[pained moans]

[panting]

Now that's battling with your eyes.

Never mock the Uchiha!

Danzo couldn't use Shisui's eye, but still. Good job pressing him as far as you did, Sasuke.

Looks like I'll be able to take Shisui's eye soon.

The Foundation should have stayed hidden underground.

Hrk!

I'm coming, Sasuke!

You okay? Hurry! Go on, bite down!

[shriek] Aughhh!

Bringing that woman along was a wise decision. She seems very useful.

I see now why Sasuke chose her to be part of his team.

[panting]

Nnnghh... Augh...

I can't believe it! How could I lose to such a brat?!

I cannot go down here... or die yet!

Yaahhh!!

No! At this rate, I'll be taken over by the First Hokage's cells!

He's near death and is losing the ability to control chakra. Hashirama's power is certainly not easy to manage.

[panting]

Unbelievable! He's so persistent!

No. Not yet. This is where we battle with our eyes.

The visual prowess in his right eye has returned.

I see. So that was his plan.

He was covering with the Izanagi until Shisui's eye recuperated.

Shisui's visual prowess. I see.

Danzo is debating whether to use it for genjutsu, or sacrifice it for the Izanagi.

You used your visual prowess too much.

[choking] Help me, Sasuke!

Sasuke is no longer useful.

As I thought, Madara's the one I need to place under genjutsu and manipulate.

I can't waste time, my wound is deep.

Now, Sasuke. What will you do?

How ironic that you, who extolled self-sacrifice, would take a hostage.

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's just a sacrifice to that cause.

Sasuke, help! Do something!

Don't move, Karin. Hold still.

(stabbed reax)

He hit a vital point... right through the hostage!

He he he he he! Now that's my boy.

One down.

Soon the rest, big brother.

You didn't have enough time for the Izanagi, did you, Danzo.

Sasuke... Was I nothing to you?

Was I just...?

Karin, if you're slow enough to be taken hostage, then you're just a burden.

[panting]

Sasuke...

Danzo.

I'm taking Shisui's eye.

[Inabi] [flashback] Is Itachi in there?!

Come here. We need to talk!

What's going on? What're you all doing here?

There were two people who didn't show up at yesterday's assembly.

Wanna tell me why you weren't there?

You're in the Anbu Black Ops now, I know full well you can be called away at the drop of a hat.

And that's the case your father was trying to make when we asked why you weren't there.

But we're not him; so you won't get any special treatment from us!

I understand; guess I should have been more careful. Will that be all, gentlemen?

Yeah, sure thing. Oh, but you know what, before we go, there's just one other thing.

Know anything about Shisui Uchiha? He killed himself in Nakano River.

He was the one who took Shisui's eye?!

[panting]

That was close! Danzo, you all right?

I'm fine! Why'd you interfere, Hiruzen?!

C'mon, don't be that way. I just don't want to lose any comrades in a situation like this, y'know?

(ct surprised, attention is caught reax)

You're alive!

Kagami! Torifu!

Yeah, by some miracle.

There are too many of them. What now, Hiruzen?

All right, then.

Let's go meet up with the Second Hokage.

Tch.

[Second Hokage] We've been surrounded.

There are... Twenty enemy shinobi.

From their tracking abilities, I'd say they're Cloud ninja. The highly skilled Kinkaku Unit.

We're only seven, including you, Lord Second. We're outnumbered.

Homura! Stop being such a coward!

Alright, the enemy has not yet pinpointed our exact location.

So we should wait and ambush them, then break through to escape.

No, that's not gonna work.

The only way it would is if one of us draws their attention and misdirects them.

They'll act as a lure.

It means certain death.

So who?

I am a shinobi. I'm resolved to die like one on the battlefield.

Sarutobi. What are you thinking right now, I wonder.

Are you prepared to make that sacrifice?

Go ahead! Say it! That I'll...

Augh, What's wrong?! Why can't I say that I'll do it?!

I'll go do it.

Sarutobi...

Hiruzen, you sure?

Hah, don't worry about me!

I don't mean to brag, but I know I have the best chance out of all of you to pull this off.

I'm not gonna die.

My trembling, It stopped!

Damn it! I'm such a coward. Somewhere deep inside my heart right now,

I'm relieved!

You look after the others, Danzo, okay? I trust--

Shut up! I was going to volunteer, you know!

Don't try to steal the limelight! I'll be the lure! Not you!

Danzo, I...

My father and grandfather died in battle as shinobi! Self-sacrifice is a shinobi's duty!

I will go and play the lure, of course.

You're the ones who will carry on the Will of Fire, who will defend our village in the future.

But you can't! I mean, you're the Hokage!

There is no greater shinobi in our village!

Danzo, you are always vying with Saru over one thing or another.

But what's necessary here is for you to work together as comrades.

Don't make this a personal fight.

The fact is, you took too long to reach a 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 be so eager at your young age.

Your day will come eventually. And until it does, you should endeavor to stay alive.

Saru.

Love and treasure the Village, and protect all those who believe in you.

And nurture those ninja to whom you can entrust the next generation.

Starting tomorrow, you're Hokage!

Saru.

Take care of the Leaf!

Yes sir!

Sarutobi! You're always walking ahead of me!

[panting]

For the shinobi world and the Leaf, I cannot let you two continue to live!

Aah!

It's a Reverse Tetragram Sealing Jutsu!

[Madara] Sasuke! Get away from Danzo!

Hiruzen.

It's my turn next.

[Hiruzen, Third Hokage] Where the tree leaves dance, one shall find flames.

The fire's shadow will illuminate the village.

And once again tree leaves shall bud anew.

[Danzo] Just as you gave your life,

to protect the Hidden Leaf Village,

This time, I will, too.

I will stop them.

But in the end, I never got to be Hokage.

No matter how far I ran,

I could never catch up to you.

You were a tree leaf upon which light shone.

I was nothing but a foundation, hidden in darkness.

So what do you think of me?

Eh, Hiruzen...?

What was I to you?

[Sasuke] I wonder when I first started liking Sasuke.

I never gave a thought to who he really was behind that pensive face.

Naruto, I let you bear the burden all on your own. I'm so sorry, but I'm also grateful.

However, I've already decided!

[Kakashi] Next time on Naruto Shippuden: Sakura's Resolve.

I hope I get there in time!
