Mr. Grave wrote: Kakashi was nearing 30 when he became Hokage so he should be in his early 40s in your scenario. He could win against Danzo if the latter employed that inbred dumbass strategy he used against Sasuke, where he tested Sasuke's Susanoo durability with a kunai and opted to waste a Sharingan by using Izanagi against some shuriken instead of dodging them or deflecting them.

As for the additional matchups, Kakashi loses all of them, but may actually stand a chance against Tsunade and old Hiruzen. I think people are just underestimating Danzo's efforts in the fight. Him using the Kunai on Sasuke's backside of Susanoo was to test out it's defence in it's back, since it's reasonable to test out for a weak spot, and thus he used his Summon to pull open it's back, haven't you noticed that? He tested out it's defence and made a strategy to tear open the Susanoo, people just ignore those facts and call out plot.

And about the Shuriken thing, no, you can't dodge Shurikens thrown at high speed by a skilled user in mid air, that's not even possible without any real agility. You're talking as if Danzo could fly in mid air.

And the third thing is, Danzo's underestimation of Sasuke comparing him over to Itachi, and his arrogance with his Izanagi factored into the battle, then again, he was also worried over the Madara Uchiha watching over them.

And may I add that the way you present the battle to be stupid is because Danzo wasn't acting smart, even though he never showed us to being smart in battles in the first place. And experience isn't merely by age, from one of the only backstories of Danzo, we know that he avoids dangerous situations and uses his Anbu Root to do his work, and thus leaves him from gaining any real life experience with it.

Say, if Kakashi, who is a genius, was in Danzo's place, and acted like he did with the Izanagi and all, then I would certainly call it plot. Cause we know how he does things, and that he's not an idiot. For what we know about Danzo, the battle against Sasuke was his best in terms of brains.

Anyways, about this battle, I doubt about Kakashi's survival in this one. Without the Sharingan, he can barely go one on one against Danzo with the chance of winning. And Danzo would probably switch off the Izanagi to draw the battle longer. So, the battle goes for Danzo.
