Madara isn't so simple a character to say he simply wants to destroy Konoha. If he wanted to destroy Konoha, he could have sicced Pein on them. (Or is that what he did?) Madara fought the First Hokage for control of Konoha. Don't you find it a bit suspicious that Roots was founded soon after, and used the same training methods as the Uchiha (murdering your friend)? Or that Madara is known to have become Mizukage, and that the Land of Mist used the same training methods as the Uchiha? I would not find it implausible to learn that Madara has been fighting the Senju for control of the village for the last hundred years, through Roots.Originally Posted by UChessmaster
Madara is a known liar, and is known to have been manipulating Nagato. I'm not saying he is Danzou, but just believing him or his motives is absurd.
And after all the crap that Danzou has pulled (including the friend-murdering Roots), believing Danzou or his motives is absurd.
If Madara wanted Konoha destroyed, getting Pein to do it for him would be straightforward, merely by sending him to Konoha and ensuring that Naruto was not there at the time. Sound familiar?
