The figure of Danzo is known as someone who is quite authoritarian and even wants the Hokage's power in any way he will take. One of his biggest rivals is Hiruzen who successfully leads the village and becomes the third Hokage. There are some surprising facts that may not be known or only found in Naruto comics, one of them is Danzo's favorite food and drink.

The Dunia Games team will discuss some facts about Danzo who was present in the Naruto series. Let's take a closer look at it in detail.

1. One Generation with the Third Hokage

Danzo when in the Naruto era to Shippuden, he is a figure who looks very old, even seems to be the same as Hiruzen Sarutobi or the third Hokage. In fact they are the same age and even the same generation. Danzo and Hiruzen are two ninja or Konoha village officials, both of them were also members of the Ninja Academy in the first generation and the second Hokage or Tobirama Senju was their respective teacher.

2. His Rival Is The Third Hokage

The third Hokage or Hiruzen Sarutobi is a childhood friend and also a class along with Danzo Shimura, where the two of them certainly know each other and even that until they are both old. However, even though Hiruzen views Danzo as his friend and partner, Danzo sees Hiruzen as his rival or rival that he must overcome. Hiruzen and Danzo's rivalry is quite similar to Naruto and Sasuke.

3. Danzo’s Name Has a Deep Meaning

The details of Shimura Danzo's childhood are not well known, such as who his parents were and so on about him in the past or his childhood. But the name of Shimura Danzo himself, or rather the name of Danzo itself has a deep meaning, which some Naruto fans don't even know. The meaning of the word "Danzo", which is a clan that defines itself as "I do it for the village".

4. Very Ambitious to be a Hokage

Since Hiruzen became Hokage, Danzo wanted to also serve as Hokage, because he considered that he was the one who deserved to be Hokage. He considered himself to have views and visions that could advance Konoha's benefits. With this ambition, Danzo often tries to destroy the reputation of the Hokage like Hiruzen and Tsunade, where there is also a plan to kill the Hokage at that time.

5. The Mastermind Behind the Uchiha Clan Massacre

This is one of the great sins and the reason Danzo is hated by Naruto fans. It all started with the Uchiha coup plan that was known by Konoha's top brass, thus making Danzo decide unilaterally that the Uchiha clan massacre was the way out. Even though the Hokage did not agree, the plan had to be carried out for the sake of the Konoha village. As a result Danzo ordered Itachi to slaughter all the Uchiha clan and bear all the burden.

6. Bound Life and Death Pact with Itachi

Itachi and Konoha's top brass like the third Hokage really had no other choice, which was to just follow Danzo's decision, who had been brainwashing and inciting to massacre the Uchiha clan from the start, so that the clan wouldn't stage a coup d'etat. Itachi could not help but have to follow orders from Danzo, but on the condition that he had to let go of his own brother, Uchiha Sasuke. If Danzo violates the agreement or touches Sasuke, Itachi will act harshly on Danzo.

7. Founder and Leader of Konoha's Special Anbu "Root"

Danzo already has a cunning nature and seems quite evil as the elder ninja in Konoha, which seems maybe he is the most evil in Konoha. Danzo argued that what he did was for the benefit of Konoha, so it is not surprising that he was the leader of Konoha's special Anbu named "Root". Unlike the ordinary Anbu, Anbu Root's job is to work in the shadows according to Danzo's orders.

8. Danzo and His Men are Willing to Die for Konoha's Sake

Danzo has applied very strict teachings to his organization, which is that he would rather die than fall into the hands of the enemy. Danzo did apply that to his men, but he also applied it to himself, so that Danzo and his organization would rather die than fall into the hands of the enemy. This was done so that the enemy did not know more about him, which could be dangerous for the village of Konoha.

9. His Hobby Is Writing Books

Despite having a scary face, Danzo's hobbies are inversely proportional to his appearance. Danzo is known to be very fond of writing books, including his own diary, which is in the Databook that Danzo has a hobby of writing plans and activities in a diary. Not only writing, but the writing will be carefully guarded and stored which will even be very difficult to find, unless only he can find it.

10. Known as the Best Manipulator in the Story

Perhaps the most famous of his crimes is the manipulation and brainwashing he did to the Uchiha clan, but it turns out you need to know that his big sin is not only that. Danzo is a very dangerous ninja manipulator in the story, where apart from the mastermind behind the Uchiha clan massacre in Konoha, Danzo is also the mastermind behind the misunderstanding scenario between Hanzo and the first generation Akatsuki led by Yahiko.

11. Konoha's Dark Shinobi Infamous by Ninjas from Other Villages

Konoha is indeed famous as a village that has many famous ninja, the first Hokage knows as the God of Shinobi, Namikaze Minato as Yellow Lightning, and Konoha's white fangs, Kakashi's father. Danzo also has the same popularity as well known, but in a negative view, where he and his cunning are widely known by other village ninja. For example, Raikage Ay is very understanding of the motives of Danzo when he is at the meeting of the five Kage.

12. Good at Using Shisui's Sharingan Eyes

When fighting Sasuke, Hanzo was shown to have great power in the form of Izanagi from his hand which contained the eyes of the Uchiha. But his power is not only that, but the most special is the ability in his right eye. Danzo has Uchiha Shisui's right eye, so he also has the ability to cast Genjutsu on anyone who makes eye contact with him.

13. His Favorite Food and Drink is Hijiki and Genmaicha

Although it's less important because this character is so hated, it certainly doesn't hurt you to know his favorite food and drink. Like all characters in Naruto, Danzo also certainly has his own favorite food and drink. It is known that Danzo's favorite food is Hijiki (a kind of boiled seaweed), then for his drink is Genmaicha (a type of Japanese green tea).

14. His Favorite Word is "Fukutsu"

As a high ranking or elder in the village of Konoha, Danzo who served as a dark shinobi and leader of the Anbu Roots has a motivational word for himself. Danzo turns out to have a favorite word in the form of the word "fortitude", which if translated into Japanese it will read "Fukutsu". It's not surprising that he has such a favorite word, that's because that word is in line with his life path until the end of his life.

15. Danzo was Popular by Many Women

Once in a Naruto OVA or short story, Tsunade and Shizune were curious about Danzo's face when he was young. When a book containing Danzo's young face was found, Tsunade and Shizune were indirectly surprised by the red face. Actually it can be a reference, that in fact young Danzo was a handsome ninja and was much loved by women during his era.
