personally I'm very tired of people saying Danzo only lost to Sasuke because he was holding back that's bloody stupid and makes no sense. and to say that Danzo was kicking Sasuke's ass is a flat out lie, Sasuke only took 2 or 3 attacks from Danzo most of the damage he did was entirely self inflicted. first off think about how Danzo's abilities work and what holding back would accomplish. Danzo in order to have a chance to fight Tobi would need to overwhelm Sasuke quickly so he could fight Tobi while still having as much power as possible, holding back would only prolong the fight and would cause Danzo to waste precious Sharingan not to mention the fact that he would have wasted so much of his chakra due to the fact that using Izanagi continuously drains his chakra. the only way for Danzo to have a chance at fighting Tobi after Sasuke is to rush Sasuke with everything he's got, going all out from the start in order to overwhelm Sasuke quickly so that afterwards he could fight Tobi while still having most of his strength left. Danzo's no idiot he would know that holding back isn't an option. Danzo simply lost because he was completely outclassed. Sasuke has stronger ninjutsu, faster and more advanced Taijutsu and while he may not be as strong as Danzo genjutsu wise he is far more creative with it's use.
