Chapter 311
In fact, in the anime, Danzo and the two elder consultants did nothing wrong with their decision.
In the face of the aggressive Akatsuki organization, Konoha is almost over, and it is the safest way to save strength and avoid the Kyuubi Jinchuriki from being caught.
However,
No one thought that Pain could be so powerful. He almost wiped out the entire Konoha alone. It was estimated that if Naruto did not appear, only Danzo's group would survive with the other remaining ninjas that were alive.
Perhaps Danzo's dream would come true at that time?
This is something Akabane doesn't quite understand.
After all, it's people-oriented in the Naruto World, and it is easy to run a Village if your strength is high, but those people will definitely become cannon fodders.
Just like now.
In the unlikely event that Madara and Black Zetsu attacked, Akabane, Uzumaki Mito, and Danzo's Anbu would all save their strength, and the remaining Konoha ninja would definitely be slaughtered.
