In “A Widening Gyre”, how are they going to react to how many are in Root? I single person can’t run something like that alone, so won’t the Clans be paranoid about whoever Danzo was working with showing up? And do any of the Shinobi from the WCE ever see Danzo’s arm with all the Sharingans and freak out? (I can picture Tobirama being a bit confused as to how that worked since the optic nerves are different to the nerves in the arm,maybe the arm-Sharingans were effectively blind?)

sanjuno:

With a lot of paranoia and wagon circling, tbh. I mean, yeah there’s gonna be a shitton of them questioning the kids but some of them (like little baby Sai) are still preverbal, and the others were all trained by people who wore masks 24/7. The fact that our favourite ANBU team plus special jounin guest stars all have masks is just going to reinforce the idea that a positive ID on the perps is impossible at this point.

Good news is that all the kids agree that The Captain destroyed ROOT’s base and all the adult agents are probably dead. And Danzo-sama (AKA the asshole who was in charge of this bullshit brainwashing cult of child killers) was killed extra dead.

I’ve got the mental image of Danzo turning into a tree (b/c isn’t that what happens when the Hashirama cells start suffering breakdown?) and there are petrified sharingan eyes in the bark. Rin was very careful to ensure that the tree was properly warded b/c bad juju might be a thing but none of them could resist the urge to be very proud of their trophy. Creepy demon tree that is actually the corpse of an S-Class shinobi isn’t something you get to claim responsibility for every day, after all.

So nah, Tobirama doesn’t get to breathe heavily over Danzo’s corpse while he dissects it. Because there isn’t a recognizable corpse and the future shinobi are following Kakashi’s lead on the demarcation of information, and Kakashi Is A Giant Troll.

The end. XP
