Ruri still remembered a few things about Shimura Danzō, who stood before him.
He was the leader of Root in Konoha, in the Land of Fire. In his youth, he had served in the Second Hokage's elite guard unit, alongside his teammates Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kagami Uchiha, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Torifu Akimichi.
Shimura Danzō was also one of the members of Konoha High Command who had ordered the extermination of the Uchiha Clan.
He was also a crafty schemer who deeply distrusted every member of the Uchiha Clan and would become Hokage at any cost.
Thus, he resorted to any means necessary to achieve his goals, which were to protect Konoha through forceful measures and unify the Shinobi World as Hashirama Senju had.
But in the end, Sasuke defeated him in his battle against Sasuke Uchiha. To keep Shisui's Eye out of anyone else's hands, he killed himself with the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique. He was an antihero who had devoted his entire life to Konoha.

"That battle just now was spectacular. Your actual strength is far greater than the rumors in the village suggest! If I hadn't seen you fight, I really would have underestimated you!" Shimura Danzō said to Ruri, standing before him with that enigmatic smile.

Facing Shimura Danzō, Ruri did not panic too much. At the very least, with his current true strength, it was entirely possible for him to escape
