When it comes to Danzo, he’s someone most naruto fans would agree is the number 1 sussy baka, but what if I told you Danzo has even more dirt on his ledger than you’d expect, going as far back as when Itachi was at the ninja academy? Well, we learn in the itachi shinden story of daylight in a scene never animated, that Danzo got wind of how talented Itachi was in the academy before he even graduated and would watch Itachi quietly from the shadows. When Itachi graduated, he went right up to Itachi when his father wasn’t around to begin running through various what if scenarios that were really failed anbu black ops missions, to see how Itachi would handle the mission. Itachi each time gave Danzo the answer he was looking for and it was in that moment as he saw Fugaku coming towards him that Danzo knew he wanted to use Itachi against the uchiha clan, to begin grooming him to turn against the clan, the only thing Danzo didn’t know at the time was how he’d get his hooks into Itachi. As we all know, years later, Itachi would carry out the uchiha massacre.
