Naruto: Hayate Blade

;

They were close friends carved from the same mold, and both joined Konoha ANBU. When Uchiha first planned a coup, Shisui reported the news to the Third Hokage and said that he had a way to prevent the coup, which was to use his Sharingan genjutsu to change the clan leader's will. But Danzo on the side believed that doing so could not eliminate the evil intentions of the entire Uchiha. Hiruzen said that as long as Shisui can buy some time, "from now on we treat the Uchiha clan well and one day we can quell their dissatisfaction."

Hiruzen and Shisui seem to have found a way to solve the problem, but once the rift occurs, it is difficult to repair. As long as Uchiha dares to rebel once, people like Danzo will no longer be able to trust them. In order to avoid future troubles, they must eradicate them. Moreover, the other gods mentioned by Shisui are also unacceptable to Danzo. If you can control your clan leader, then you can also control Hokage and me. So Danzo summoned Shisui secretly, intending to seize his Eye.

After all, Danzo was not strong enough. He made a sneak attack and was glared at by Shisui, and fell under the illusion. But Shisui was careless. He didn't expect that Danzo's right eye hidden under the bandage was actually a Sharingan. Danzo consumed this eye and activated the forbidden technique Ienagi, instantly rewriting the reality of the illusion in his body, and captured one of Shisui's eyes in a sneak attack again. The surrounding root tissue lurked in a swarm, and Shisui could only retreat.

There is no record of the origin of Danzo's previous Sharingan, but it can be seen from it that Danzo has been coveting the power of the Sharingan for a long time. He is eager to destroy the Uchiha clan and also has the selfish intention of plundering the Sharingan. Shisui, who lost one eye, could no longer use other gods to stop the rebellion, so he gave the other eye to Itachi and committed suicide. The Uchiha clan was demoralized and postponed the coup, while Itachi took over Shisui's mission and wanted to prevent the conflict between the family and the village.

Itachi became the captain of the ANBU at the age of 13 and was transferred to Danzo's command. Many viewers will wonder why Itachi is willing to help Danzo. In fact, Itachi and Danzo have similar philosophies. They both believe that "ninjas are nameless people who support peace in the dark." The most essential difference is that Itachi has what Danzo lacks. Courage, and great strength. Danzo was too weak and could only use all kinds of despicable methods, but always failed in the end.

In the following years, the Uchiha clan continued to expand its military strength, until Itachi's father finally informed him to participate in the coup, but between the family and the village, Itachi chose the village. Regarding why Itachi made such a choice, you can read my "Naruto Chronicles Issue 29", which is a work that I am proud of.

After Danzo heard about it, he immediately wanted to take a preemptive strike and kill the Uchiha clan. Sarutobi Hiruzen neither agreed nor stopped him. But Danzo's root organization alone could not defeat Uchiha, so he found Itachi and proposed a deal: If you can stand on Konoha's side and help kill the Uchiha clan, then your brother Sasuke will Get shelter. Itachi had no choice and accepted the condition.

Some viewers think Itachi was threatened by Danzo and forced to exterminate the clan, so they think of Itachi too narrowly. If the family and the village go to war, Itachi will definitely choose the village; he is also fully capable of protecting Sasuke, but Danzo just happened to propose this deal.

Later, when Danzo and Hiruzen led a large number of Anbu to the Uchiha station, Itachi had already done a clean job. Hiruzen ordered all the bodies to be recovered, and Danzo took advantage of the chaos to steal a few. At this time, Itachi quietly appeared in front of him and said to him: "I have seen everything, and I will continue to watch from now on. If you dare to touch Sasuke, I will leak the secrets of the village to the enemy." He was warning Danzo, I don't care if you steal someone's eyes, but don't take advantage of Sasuke.

After the Uchiha incident, Hiruzen removed Danzo Hokage from his position as assistant, ordered him to disband the Root Organization, and punished him with solitary confinement. This punishment is too light for Danzo. Although the cause of Uchiha's rebellion was the crisis of trust caused by the Nine-Tails Rebellion, there was a shadow of Danzo's obstruction from the beginning to the end. Why was Hiruzen so tolerant to him?
