The Sixth Hokage Danzo

The Sixth Hokage Danzo seizes power in Tsunade's coma-stricken absence. With the Fifth fallen into a coma after saving the village from Pain, the war hawk Danzo Shimura — leader of the shadow organization Root — is named acting Hokage by the village elders, and his first acts reveal the ruthless pragmatism that will define the crisis. The episode pivots from the Pain arc's catharsis to political darkness, Danzo's ascent setting the stage for the Five Kage Summit and the reckoning over Sasuke that the world's leaders are about to convene.
