After provoking Danzo, Meihui left using Flying Thunder God. He had guessed Danzo would overthink things, but he hadn't expected him to brood all night.
After messing with Danzo's head, Meihui went home and fell straight asleep. Meanwhile, Danzo went through everyone he had ever met since childhood, yet couldn't come up with anyone besides Hiruzen.

The thought displeased Danzo. No, I need to hold it in. But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. *Even
