And that's EXACTLY what I'm saying. Danzo could have finished Sasuke way earlier, instead of trying to stab his Susanoo with a fucking Kunai!! The in-universe explanation is obviously Danzo's "arrogance". But the ACTUAL explanation is Plot no Jutsu, because someone as clever and as experienced with the Uchiha as Danzo simply wouldn't go around doing such retarded shit while "Madara" was still around.

What I'm saying is that the in-universe explanation (arrogance) doesn't tally with the in-universe facts and character traits of Danzo. Danzo's stupid decisions during the fight is out of character for a clever, cautious sleazeball such as himself, especially since he was in a life-or-death situation against the clan he hated the most.
