I Never Really Got Over Hearing Danzo Say This.  

i never really got over hearing danzo say this.  

the fact that he specifically targets kakashi because kakashi has no one to protect him.  because kakashi doesn’t have the power of the uchiha clan to back him up, because he doesn’t have any parents to take care of him, because he doesn’t have any teachers to protect him, because he doesn’t have anyone who will ask inconvenient questions or kick up a fuss when he “accidentally” turns up dead.  danzo is so wicked and dishonorable that he won’t even confront the uchiha directly to steal their hereditary jutsu - the uchiha are too risky for him to attack; they’re a powerful community and there’s strength in their numbers, but kakashi - kakashi is the only person possessing a sharingan who isn’t afforded the protection of that community.  he’s a vulnerable teenager - not because he’s weak (even danzo isn’t foolish enough to look at kakashi and call him “weak”), but because he’s alone.  he has no adults to take care of him, no family community to rally around him.  he’s easy prey, in danzo’s eyes.

what cowardice, to go after a child like that.
