Danzo was always power hungry, he believed only one man could bring peace on Earth and that was him...by killing everyone who disagreed with him.

We see that all he ever did in the series was collect power, whether it was stealing Sharingan, killing people and spys that did what he ordered, manipulating events, all was done in hopes he could take power that is all.

Danzo can say he was a "well-intentioned" extremist all he wanted, the second he withheld all his soldiers during Pain's Assault proved all he cared about was himself. He even cursed Naruto for SAVING Konoha, the village he claimed he'd do anything for. His ultimate goal was to control Kurama and dominate the other villages.

In the end, he was really a product of his age of constant warring and betraying like the other elders. How these people were even allowed to keep their jobs is beyond me. Hopefully Kakashi fired them. Begs the question, what the hell was Danzo going to do after he was disgraced at the summit? Did he really think he was going to keep everything quiet while a huge alliance was formed? He knew it was over for him to the point where he knew the jonin were never going to vote for him regardless.

He was dead LONG before the series started, Sasuke just finished the job.
