Naruto Chapter 459

[Archangel]

Edit: I hope Ao's Byakugan fits in to the story on some deeper level than "Kishimoto needed a way for someone to out Danzo for manipulating everyone"

Surely he could have sent Neji along if that was the case.

Edit 2: I'm so happy it was revealed Danzo has mind-control powers. That explains the stupidity of him being elected Hokage/Ninja Emperor.

It's still very Deus-Ex but at least we know the characters themselves aren't completely brain-dead.

Neji wouldn't be able to identify the chakra as being Shisui's (sp?)

And i hadn't thought about that, i'm very happy about it too now

[XanBcoo]

Neji wouldn't be able to identify the chakra as being Shisui's (sp?)

There's an entire sub-village of people living in Konoha that already has the Byakugan. Surely one of the Hyuuga would have seen Shisui's chakra inside Danzo.

Either there's another reason Kishimoto decided to give a random character the Byakugan, or he wrote himself into a wall and needed an out.

Yes, but why would Danzou willingly bring someone who could blow his cover?

You're probably right about the wall, it wouldn't be the first time

[XanBcoo]

Well, I meant it more as a "Why has this never been brought up before?"

How long has Danzo had the right half of Shisui? And no one's ever noticed that before?

[RyougaZell]

I'll ignore such blatant troll... those answers seemed to show someone who never has seen this show before...

If we follow this logic... then none of Akatsuki are evil. Just misunderstood little bunnies

My guess is that Danzo lost an eye during the war. Probably during the battle alongside Hanzo against Nagato. Thus, no one found it strange that he wore a bandage on his head all his life.

What intrigues me, as you mentioned it, is how the hell did he manage to not let people notice he had a new arm?

All this time I though he was missing one btw.

He probably stole that half the very same night Itachi killed Shisui... or... Itachi never did kill Shisui, but Danzou did. No nevermind... this wouldn't make sense.

Danzou probably had his body attached to Shisui's after Itachi fleed. And probably killed the medics (Rin maybe? we never knew her fate)

But yes... wtf have the Hyuuga been doing the past decade? Or did he use his new eye to distract them?

Danzou didn't fight alongside Hanzo against Nagato.

[UChessmaster]

Danzou didn't fight alongside Hanzo against Nagato.

Didn`t he now?

[RyougaZell]

Danzou didn't fight alongside Hanzo against Nagato.

Do tell then what happens in this page? I see both Hanzo and Danzou together against Nagato's faction.

However... do note he already didn't had an eye here, so discard the theory of him losing the eye here. But the battle DID take place.

It's probably because you can only see the chakra while using the mind contol technique. So Danzo would probably just not use it around people with Byakugan.

Exactly, probably because if it was in constant use it would be impossible for him to maintain that eye, the same as kakashi

PS: Kakashi is loosing cool point fast, with all these special eyes popping out of nowhere

[XanBcoo]

Except Kakashi's Sharingan is always in constant use. That's why he covers it up. This would seem to be the case with Danzo.

That's assuming quite a lot. Also Ao sees the chakra in Danzo's right arm as well as his eye, so it's got nothing to do with the sharingan at all. The image shown is the same one we see that every Byakugan user sees. To my knowledge the Byakugan can't tell what kind of jutsu is being performed, and Ao simply recognizes Shisui's chakra. He never actually says "Danzo is controlling everyone."
