Having only just deceived Sarutobi the night before and smuggled all of Root aboard a noble's ship in disguise, Danzo received a letter Takahashi Yū had sent through a One-Time Summoning Array.
Under the dim candlelight, Danzo struggled to finish reading this letter brimming with brotherly affection.
Both the handwriting and the contents left Danzo speechless in his cabin for a long while.
Madara, Black Zetsu, the Ten-Tails, the Six Paths, Aliens...
Pressure!
Pressure that nearly left Danzo unable to breathe!
He had to admit that he now deeply envied his counterpart in the other world...
That brother Takahashi really gave them a sense of security!
"Brother..."
Holding the letter, with handwriting that looked like a three-year-old's, Danzo carefully folded it and tucked it close to his body.
He had originally planned to preserve most of Kirigakure's fighting strength and take over the village himself, but now his greatest trump card had begun to grow unstable.
Danzo's mindset shifted slightly.
Resting a hand against his chest, Danzo could feel the shape of the letter.
Since he no longer had his brother to fall back on, he had to leave this Shinobi World a way out. As Takahashi Yū put it, he had to follow the plot!
Keep Minato's son and Fugaku's second son alive!
"This is a list of people I can't kill."
Danzo had already decided that whenever he killed someone in the future, he would first make certain they were not on his brother Takahashi's list.
He could clearly get through the crisis of Kaguya Otsutsuki simply by clinging to the reincarnations of the Six Paths' sons, but he had no intention of sitting around waiting for his fate.
