Danzo was a very fun character to explore. My only complaints are that fillers kinda butchered his personality and ideology a little bit (like the bit with him wanting to assassinate Hiruzen), and that he was sacked too quickly.

Would've loved to see him become the 6th Hokage officially. Feel like he was around throughout most of Shippūden, but didn't do much, if anything, but when he was give some plot to work with, he was sacked too quickly and didn't really contribute to the plot much (Five Kage Summit was still a very good arc, though, imo). :(

Which is a shame, as Danzo was a really fresh breath of air in a village that's all about "nakama" & "kizuna".

EDIT: It's a bit off-topic, but I was sorta thinking why Danzo wasn't put in charge over Naruto? Danzo was collecting orphans for Root, and he most likely knew of Naruto being Minato's son, and, being Hiruzen's best friend and right-hand man, it wouldn't have been out-of-character for the Third Hokage to entrust Naruto's protection to Danzo.
