Path Not taken 27

Azula

My, my, Danzo. I make you a perfectly reasonable offer to serve under Jiraiya, and this is how you respond?

Azula

Such a waste of... mediocre talent.

Azula

Your men fought bravely. Foolishly, but bravely.

Azula

Did you really think your little mind tricks would work on me? A princess knows when she's being manipulated.

Azula

There was only one person in this world capable of killing me, and Tsunade is no longer here to save you.

Azula

Oh, don't look so shocked. I do my research before eliminating... obstacles.

Azula

A deal? Now you want to make a deal? After I've burned your precious Root to ashes?

Azula

Ah, unwrapping your little secret? How desperate you've become.

Azula

Is that supposed to frighten me?

Azula

You sold out your village for power. At least I'm honest about my ambitions.

Azula

What you never understood is that true power isn't stolen or bargained for—it's earned through fear.

Azula

Your last resort is just another failure, Danzo. Konoha will have a new leader by sunset.

Azula

And I'll make sure they remember exactly what happened to those who opposed the change.
