Theorizing time!
Mar. 23rd, 2006 08:24 pmOh my, the internet hasn't died yet. Amazed, I am.
Anyway, I have theoriezzz that are spoilerific under the cut:
No lie. It really isn't about Sasuke. XP
Anyway, in the last chapter (or was it 298?) I think Yamato was spot on about Danzou wanting to crush Konoha with Orochimaru's help. However, surely there's a little bit more to Danzou's plan than just getting Oro-sama's assistance. I'm sure it's all a political game. Somehow, he's going to make himself (or some subordinate) a desirable leader for the village.
Perhaps this is the rest of Danzou's plan:
Scenario 1 - Count on Orochimaru killing Tsunade, and then (either he or a subordinate) kills Orochimaru. Thus, he's avenged the hokage, blah blah...
Scenario 2 - In the confusion of the Sound village attack, have one of the Root ANBU assassinate Tsunade (and possibly Jiraiya as well) and then he (or a subordinate) kills Orochimaru in order to come out looking like the "hero" and the "good leader." Boom. Instant Hokage.
I'm more for my second scenario because surely Danzou knows that both Tsunade and Jiraiya are on par with Orochimaru and would fight him, and that they even have a good chance at beating him. That's not good for Danzou because Tsunade would come out of it as the village hero and he'd be back in the shadows with his bandages.
...And then Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke can go all cliche-kung-fu-movie and be like "YOU KEEL'D MY MASTER/SENSEI/ETC!!!!!!"
So yay. I'm not fangirling over Sasuke. SEE? I do think about other things. >.>
