On Shimura Danzo

Naruto is mocked as a "comic about migrant workers" by people who don't know the goods, which is really a big discrimination against the magnificent treasures of the Yamato nation: to understand the philosophy of Naruto and see through the political metaphor inside, it will definitely be used for life.



For example, is the controversial leader of Naruto Shimura Danzo, good or evil? In the end, there was no standard answer for the discussion: when the terrorist Payne invaded, Shimura Danzo did not move, and was reviled by many readers. However, Danzo's move was not impulsive, but the motives were very complicated. I think there are three reasons: first, to judge that Konoha could not resist Payne's attack and not fight a battle without a chance of winning; Instead of making senseless resistance, it is better to wait for Payne to communicate with him after he has gone insane, and then secretly kill him. Under a female class, I feel unwilling.



Danzo has all of the above three motives. This thoughtful thinking shows that his personality and psychology are complex, and it is not difficult to understand the heroism that follows. If Danzo was a despicable villain, he would not have asked the second Hokage to be a dead man when he was young. His parents had died in battle for generations, and he longed to be a martyr when he was young. When it comes to the villain, the image must first be of a person who is greedy for life and fear of death, but throughout his life, Tuanzang has a resolute and calm style, resolute and decisive, and bears the suspicion of the outside world alone, but never compromises with any force. It is definitely not the image of a villain.



Danzo never smoked or drank alcohol in his entire life, he did not have alcoholism and gambling addiction like Tsunade, he did not covet women like Jiraiya, and even more did not have corruption and mistresses. The sentiments of the elite are even nobler. Although he has gone too far, he will do whatever he can to eradicate the hostile forces, but he seeks the result and not the process. There is no difference between evil and evil, and it has nothing to do with personal solar terms. Guo Moruo once praised Jiang Qing, "You are a good example for us to learn from", "You charged forward regardless of your body, and filled the Chinese stage with the image of workers, peasants and soldiers." After a few years, the situation changed. Hua Guofeng captured Jiang Qing, and Teacher Guo followed the trend. He scolded Jiang Qing for "the essence of life grows into the bones, and since he was compared to Zetian and Wu, the iron broom has swept away all", when did Guo Moruo have a solar term?



Regardless of whether Danzo has a solar term or not, when he took advantage of Tsunade's dizziness, he ascended the throne of Hokage and convened a five-shadow meeting to be exposed to using illusions in forbidden areas. He openly admitted that he was imitating the will of the first Hokage, but only To unify the ninja world of all ethnic groups, he disdains to conceal his views and reveals his true feelings. However, there was a Uchiha Sasuke and a masked man in the back, and everything was beyond Danzo's expectations. If he had known for a long time that Sasuke would make trouble in the heavenly palace, he would have made careful arrangements. When the masked man created a chance to meet alone later, Danzo realized that he couldn't help himself, and it was too late to regret it.



The tragedy of Danzo is that he is wrong and loses everything, but in the end, he made a statement a few minutes before the end of his life, and he still knows how to cry. If he is a cold-blooded politician, he should keep a clean sheet from beginning to end. The iron face of the expression, but in the end he turned back as a prodigal son, such a character is doomed to a tragic end. He knew that even if he "killed" Sasuke, he would "kill" the masked man alone. On the contrary, Payne entered the village, and Tsunade quickly hid behind to cheer for the charge of the comrades. Is Danzo more competent than a shrewd Hokage?



Danzang is indeed ruthless, but he is not a tyrant; he is born brilliant, but he is not an intellectual, but he is like a poet, "You are a leaf living in the sun, I am a root living in the darkness", Qifen Li Houzhu The decadence of Xu Zhimo, the sentimentality of Xu Zhimo, the admiration of his rival Sarutobi, and the last words of life with a death poem, how noble is the state of mind that he would rather be cannon fodder than dust? Homecoming, dust returns to dust, such a flesh-and-blood character, how can "Naruto" be a "migrant manga"?
