A major reason Second Hokage Tobirama Senju could not keep the Uchiha under control was his surname, "Senju."
The Senju and Uchiha had fought and killed one another for years. Until the older generation of leaders had all died off, the Uchiha could never follow the Senju's lead.
Besides, Tobirama, that cold master of forbidden techniques, always wore a long face around the Uchiha, making it hard not to think he was hostile toward them.
Even taking a disciple with the Uchiha surname had done nothing to ease their hostility toward him.
Danzo understood that too, but what did it have to do with him, a Shimura?
On one side, I have "Konoha's White Fang, Hatake Sakumo," whose Ninja Blade Technique reigns supreme throughout the Shinobi World!
How would you counter that?
And if you could deal with Sakumo...
Danzo turned his gaze toward Takahashi Yū, who tipped his head back and drank his finest tea as though it were cheap liquor.
He ravaged the Land of Wind battlefield for two days and nights, wiping out an entire generation of Sand Shinobi!
Deep in the Land of Earth, amid Iwagakure's forces, he severely wounded "Ōnoki of the Two Scales"!
In a one-on-one showdown between men, he defeated the current "strongest spear and shield"-Third Raikage A!
Anyone with any sense would never want him as an enemy!
As for my humble self, these two merely happen to affectionately call me "big brother"!
Is that all you've got?
I have my mighty generals, White Fang and Takahashi!
How could I lose!?
The mere Uchiha? Just watch me, Danzo, handle them with ease!
"Yū, Sakumo, what do you two think?"
Danzo had already made up his mind, but he still wanted to ask his two younger brothers for their opinions.
"Me?"
Takahashi Yū
