Danzo felt helpless, this clip was clearly from the moment he rose to power, so how did it end up like this?
Fourth Raikage Darui asked, "Then why aren't you talking? Shall we go on answering questions?"
Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi added, "Yeah, they haven't even finished the quiz and Danzo just bailed?"
Tobirama Senju ground his teeth, "This is infuriating!"
Hashirama Senju tried to soothe him, "Come on brother, don't be mad"
Uchiha Madara sneered, "Gross."
Uchiha Izuna teased, "Brother, jealous?"
Hashirama Senju cooed, "Oh Madara is jealous? Madara be good, don't be jealous, let me give you a hug."
Madara fell silent.
Tobirama Senju sighed.
Uchiha Izuna looked embarrassed, "I shouldn't have said that."
Tobirama admitted, "She's right, but it's okay. At least I got grossed out, I'm less angry now."
Nearby, Hiruzen Sarutobi trembled even as a spirit he wanted to stay far away. Who would catch this hot potato? If no one catches it, you die.
Darui laughed, "You two are something else like two pairs of brothers pretending to be one!"
Mei Terumi chided, "Raikage, even now you still can't resist a jab?"
Ōnoki chuckled, "For once, I'm the only one making sense here."
Rasa sighed, "Why did Danzo run off so fast? Didn't he want to prove his strength?"
Tsunade typed, "Everyone calm down, I told my ninja to guard Danzo. Once I return I'll deal with him."
Tobirama Senju nodded, "Good job Tsunade, teach him a lesson when I come back!"
Senju Tsunade shook her head, "Your stubbornness is something else."
Rasa smirked, "He had this coming."
Danzo was bewildered, he never intended to flee he just couldn't find the right words!
And besides, his glorious moment on screen was about to appear. How could he miss it? He, Danzo Shimura, would show the ninja world how powerful he truly was!
But even if he controlled himself, the answer remained a mystery.
Ōnoki cleared his throat, "Ready to answer, everyone? Here we go."
Mei Terumi offered, "After you, Raikage."
Darui grunted, "I'm wondering if Danzo really ran. If he meant to fight, he wouldn't have bailed, right?"
Rasa exclaimed, "What? Raikage using his brain? Wow!"
Tobirama Senju scolded, "Don't mock Rasa. He's dead, he can say what he likes."
Darui typed, "@Rasa, answer the quiz."
Rasa replied, "I'm dead, but not afraid this time I speak!"
Killer Bee bobbed across the screen, "My brother says to wipe out your son. Can't rap, can't dance, can't even type!"
Karura blinked, "What?"
Kankuro cursed, "What the ?"
Temari shouted, "This is…"
Gaara fumed, "My peace ruined I just decided to protect the village, and you haul my son into this? I'll bury you in sand if anything happens to him!"
Danzo gaped, "I didn't know he'd target your son!"
Karura gasped, "Really? You didn't know?"
Gaara's grin chilled, "Didn't know? Then I'll bury you in the sand mountains!"
Rasa burst in, "@Darui, we're kage together. Let's sit down, have tea, plan for the future. Sound good?"
Darui snarled, "You only bow now? Too late!"
Tsunade whispered, "@Darui, he's apologized can't we just move on? We're allies, after all."
Ōnoki cheered, "Eating popcorn!"
Mei grinned, "Popcorn time!"
With Darui's laughter fading, he realized he wasn't truly foolish. A lone Sand ninja wouldn't last long, but add Konoha's might even a broken Leaf could overwhelm them.
Darui warned, "Be grateful to Tsunade, or I'll exterminate your nine clans."
Gaara, Kankuro, Temari and Killer Bee froze. Nine clans?
Darui clicked, "Then let's have Danzo answer: Did he flee? My guess was he ran."
Rasa paled, "..."
System: "Congratulations, Rasa, you抢答 successfully! Please answer."
Under the pressure, Rasa steeled himself.
Rasa declared, "Danzo Shimura must have run away."
Danzo roared, "Bullshit! How could I run? Even if a sow had eighty piglets next door, I would not run!"
System: "Judging Rasa's answer… Danzo's next action: run away!"
System: "Rasa's answer is correct! Reward: Non–Space–Time Teleportation Technique (Proficient) ×1, redeemable for 500,000 gold!"
Danzo stared, "What?"
Tobirama Senju shook his head, "He's amazed you fled instead of fighting."
Hashirama Senju laughed, "Pathetic couldn't even survive two frames in front of me."
Darui roared, "Hilarious, he really ran!"
Ōnoki praised, "Kage of Sand, exiling your own clan head mid-summit that's talent!"
Mei sighed, "I could never do that."
Tsunade slammed her hand, "Konoha is embarrassed by this high-level fiasco."
Danzo's mouth fell open how could running from a summit be his next move? he'd looked up at the ceiling, then vanished?!
The screen cut to black, as the ninja world reeled at Danzo's choice: escape, not fight.
