===Sai and Sasuke arc===
 
Danzo assigns [[Sai]] to [[Team 7]] as a replacement for Sasuke Uchiha. Because of this, Tsunade assigns [[Yamato]] to the team as well in order to keep an eye on Sai in case Danzo has other plans for him. During a mission Sai makes contact with [[Orochimaru]] on Danzo's behalf, proposing that the two join sides in order to destroy Konoha. Although believing this to be the evidence needed to prove Danzo works against the village, Yamato later discovers that Sai's actions are a ruse to get close to and kill Sasuke. When Sai proves unsuccessful and displays attachment to Team 7, Danzo merely states that "emotion brings hatred, and hatred brings war."
 
   
===Fire Temple arc===
 
Danzo is later seen followed by [[ANBU]] agents, on Tsunade's orders, when he is to be briefed by [[Tatsuji]], a spy of his, from [[Amegakure]]. He and Tatsuji are apprehended and questioned by Tsunade, though the interrogation is interrupted by [[Sora]], who was found eavesdropping.
 
 
===Pain's Invasion arc===
 
When [[Pain]] begins his invasion of Konoha and Tsunade asks the [[toad]] [[Kosuke]] to retrieve [[Naruto Uzumaki]], Danzo kills Kosuke to keep the [[Nine-Tailed Demon Fox]] "out of the way". Danzo is later seen with the members of The Foundation, instructing them not to help with the defense of Konoha in the hopes that Pain's actions will give him the opportunity to overthrow Tsunade.
 
 
Following the invasion, leaders of the [[Land of Fire]] and Konoha gathered for an emergency meeting. Danzo convinces the [[Fire Daimyo|daimyo]] of the Land of Fire that each of the previous Hokages had passed on a peaceful ideology to their students. This in turn made them too soft on military issues, resulting in Konoha's current crisis. The village now needed a strong and firm leader who would enforce the laws of shinobi and bring order to the world. He states that he alone is fit to be Hokage. After a short time to consider, the Daimyo agree to appoint him as the Sixth Hokage. Upon reading the letter from the [[Current Raikage|Raikage]] delivered by [[Samui]], Danzo's first action as Hokage is labeling Sasuke as a missing-nin to be killed by the village.
 
 
===The Summit of the Five Kage arc===
 
Even though Danzo has been appointed as Hokage by the daimyo, he still requires the votes of the [[Jonin]]s to officially acquire the position. So, as acting Hokage, Danzo ordered his subordinate, Sai, of the Foundation to keep an eye on Naruto. Sai asked him what his plans would be. Danzo replied that Naruto is now a hero to Konoha and he is more trusted by the citizens than himself. Naruto could sway the vote for Hokage out of Danzo's favor, so Danzo does not plan on making any moves against him. However, Naruto is still the container for the [[Nine-Tailed Demon Fox]], and eyes must be kept on him at all times. Danzo added that he would not be as weak as Tsunade. Before heading off to the meeting of the Kages at the summit, Danzo sends some ANBU to search for [[Kabuto Yakushi]] before [[Anko Mitarashi]] reaches him first so Kabuto can heal his right eye and arm knowing Kabuto would know his relationship with Orochimaru.

Danzo (ダンゾウ, Danzō) is a Konoha elder, one of the oldest villagers in Konoha. He is also in charge of the ANBU faction named the Foundation. Later he is appointed as the acting Sixth Hokage (六代目火影, Rokudaime Hokage) after Pain's invasion.





Trivia

  • Some fans speculate that Danzo is currently unable to do jutsu due to having one arm. It may be possible that he can still form hand seals with only one hand, similar to Haku.
  • Judging from a picture Tsunade and Shizune saw, Danzo was quite handsome in his youth, before the great war.
