Madara Danzou Debate

[RasenDori]

Wait a minute... isn't Danzou from the same generation as the 3rd and the two advisors. Wouldn't it be safe to assume that they've known him since they were children? Just throwing that out there.

A couple of things about this in chapter 456.

On the first page here, when Danzou is performing a jutsu, there is a four-frame focus on his hand seals in the middle of the page. That to me is significant. First, he appears to have some kind of metal contraption bolted to his arm, possibly a prosthetic. Maybe he is a cyborg?

Secondly, if I'm correct about this, the fact that he used hand seals at all is significant, because wasn't it noted earlier that Tobi/Madara used no hand seals when performing jutsus?

Just something to think about.

Good catch. That's a very interesting bolt.

It almost looks like there is one on his right wrist in the second page, when he holds Deidara's arm. (Admittedly, that bold is not so clear)

Tobi is wearing scaled plate armor in those pics, thats what the bolts showing there are from.

you can see it a little more clearly from the front angle shots on that page. In the middle frame you can see the shoulder armor hanging down over his arms, and in the bottom left frame you can see the hip armor flailed out to the sides when he is on the ground.

Oh, and the one you said looks like a bolt in his wrist is actually Deidara's fingernail :P

Yeah, I think you're right.
