Danzo wasn't holding back because if he was holding back he wouldn't have used Izanagi and besides holding back against Sasuke would've only drawn out the fight which wasn't advantageous for Danzo and if he wanted to fight Tobi afterward he would need to have as much chakra and eyeballs left so he would need to finish Sasuke off rather quickly or his chances of fighting Tobi would've gone down the drain, holding back would only prolong the fight meaning that if he was holding back he would've wasted time and Izanagi when he could've and should've finished the fight quickly. he wasn't holding back at all. the reason he didn't win was because Sasuke and his Susanoo were just too strong for Danzo to fight against with any chance of victory.

Wasn't Danzo's plan to use Izanagi to stall the fight with Sasuke until Kotoamatsukami recharged to use it on Tobi? He certainly didn't waste time, he was killing time.

P.S. Since he was stalling, finishing off the fight with Sasuke quickly makes no sense. Another thing is that Danzo thought he was going to have to fight Madara. He knew he couldn't beat Madara so he was waiting to use Kotoamatsukami on him.
