Damn it!
Making that much noise... Other shinobi would soon come to hunt him down!
Although most of Konoha's elite had gone to the battlefield with Sarutobi, plenty of shinobi had stayed behind, including a fair number of jonin.
Danzo knew that at the very least, Minato, Jiraiya's student, was still in Konoha!

But who was that kunoichi?
Danzo frowned, disliking the feeling of
