Danzo's trump card was actually Shisui's eye, which he had once seized!
That Sharingan contained the most powerful genjutsu-Kotoamatsukami.
It could invade another person's brain directly without being detected, permanently and completely altering their will.
It was the eye that governed wills, turning anyone the caster saw into his puppet!
But its cooldown after use was far too long, lasting more than a decade.
That was why Danzo had never been willing to use it.
Otherwise, he could have controlled Hiruzen Sarutobi long ago and legitimately taken the position of Hokage.
And this was his last remaining resolve.
As Danzo fought fiercely with Sasuke, his gaze kept flickering between Shinji and Sasuke.
He had only one chance.
Whether to control Sasuke or Akagi Shinji was a question worth considering.
Although he had seen Akagi Shinji fight, he had only witnessed a portion of Shinji's strength. If he had personally experienced Shinji's full strength, he would not have been hesitating now.
So at this moment, in Danzo's eyes, Akagi Shinji did not necessarily have greater potential than Sasuke.
Moreover, Danzo knew the Sharingan's potential well and had Hashirama's cells transplanted into his body, so he subconsciously leaned somewhat toward Sasuke.

Danzo could not help letting out a muffled groan, then activated Izanagi
