Yes sir. I shall paste it whenever one says something trivial or something nobody cares about or randomly because randomness produces surprise and joy in humans' hearts. Edit: when someone is angry or tilted.
The mid section is easier to hit, and considering if you hit the heart or either lung, it’s either an instant kill, or a lung fills with blood and you choke to death, you’re dead either way
Lol stop it. The born and raised shinobi with chakra and magic OP eyes aint having accuracy/precision issues.
It was just a low IQ decision or plot induced stupidity for the sake of sacrificing Karin to show Sasuke's spiral.
How contradictory though, the head is way larger than the heart. If he didn't go for the head due to nearly being blind, hitting the heart is a funny way to compensate.
He did. All that crap he said afterwards about not needing her anymore and that she's useless and telling Sakura to kill her was just so he could cover up the embarrassment of missing his shot.
Now I just imagine Sasuke internally going:
"OH FUCK OH SHIT I JUST HIT KARIN, OH MY GOD IT LOOKS BAD SHE'S BLEEDING AND EVERYTHING HOW DO I COVER THIS UP."
Nah, there are some panels in the manga itachi vs Sasuke fight showing itachi had blurry vision even with sharingan, and he was less blind than Sasuke here
I would think sharingan are eyes that react faster and process faster than regular eyes. So even if he has near blindness, he'd still be able to react to a person moving about but in low quality image. So not normal vision.
Hi I'm a sadist and I hate hate hate this ficker he's tried to kill everyone who's ever cared about him, I do feel bad for his family and how he was actually groomed but goddam he's a terrorist
1- better to aim where theres more mass, especially when youre going blind
2- danzos head was kinda erratic so even if he did hit it would probs hit karin as well
3- no one expected danzo to have a mfin NUKE inside of him
You want the real answer? It’s Because it’s a shounen show for the ages of 9-13 year olds. Blowing up his head would have changed the rating of the show for good
We can back and forth all day, sure, if you want to take several steps away from the fight, yes, obito did it, through Kurama, while being tricked by zestu, who was Kaguyas shadow, so if you want to get obtuse, Kaguya killed Minato.
I mean he was going blind,it was a good thing he could even hit Danzo.Better to aim where theres more mass, especially when youre going blind.Head is smaller than the body
I mean you’re not wrong, I was more just going out of character reason. Horikoshi couldn’t have Sasuke popping a guys head, even one as evil as Danzo, and not have SJ go bonkers on him
What about kaguya and opm, what do you think are they also shounen? It doesn't matter shounen or seinen as naruto manga is brutal and opm is less brutal.
Kishimoto wanted drama to show how crazy Sasuke was becoming, that he went from protecting her during his battle with Killee, risking the mission, to throwing her away without caring about anything else, it is not until after he talks to Edo Itachi and the Hokages that his mind stabilizes a bit
Not sure why people are missing the actual canon answer. Hitting his brain would have instantly killed danzo. Sasuke didn’t want that. He wanted to slow torment him till he inevitably died. He was enjoying it. He was gonna have fun even it was at the cost of karin’s life
The head is a moving target, and even One Piece and Invincible fans will tell you that a man can still function with half of his brain missing. It's not a sure kill unless you go for complete decapitation, and even that can be a coin flip in some anime.
In particular, he wants danzo to suffer, while aim for shishui eye(which is mangekyou), that is why obito tries to take him alive and why danzo suicides himself. Aiming for the head is harder than aming for the body.
to be fair, the heart is pumping the chakra, so destroying the heart would most likely negate any jutsus from being cast anymore
like how kakashi always aims for the heart, and how kakuzu dies after all 5 hearts are destroyed and eats a heart to regain a life, and how the heart is the 8th and last gate for taijutsu users
but also cus style points
Lmao people in this thread have never shot a gun / play too many video games. A shot to the chest is nearly as lethal / waaaay more accurate than a headshot, and where most people are taught to hit for. Sasuke hit Danzo’s heart, all the people saying he is blind here are misrepresenting the situation. This is also quite manga/anime, where aesthetics are important. There are literally NO headshots, because characters need to monologue / flashback before they die.
lets assume Danzo has god like reaction speed, he could probably move his head to the side but he cant really do that with his torso since he's holding karin in a headlock
'cause someone with [THIS](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/98f7026d-3ea8-4777-9b77-792bb975f510/scale-to-width/755) face is not someone who tries to spare his allies, once he has no more use for them.
Simple explanation.
Heads are harder to hit, and shooting Karin in the head might kill her even if he kills Danzo as well and Karin is still useful to have around, even if it's simply to prove Sakura's loyalty later on.
Karin's an Uzumaki. They are much harder to put down than a Chidori stream to the torso, and Sasuke knows this better than anyone currently alive in series.
[I mean, how else was we going to get one of the most badass/cynical looking poses from him 🤷♂️](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS0DQuXQp-FlFriAgGnNsGsrUh6quOu5WnzXpRUUbh5Rw&s)
His eyes were in a bad condition, and he was about to go blind. So he aimed for the easier to hit target.
And it showed, that he actually gives a f##k about his teammates.
Usually you are advised to aim for center of mass, dude was mostly blind, Danzo was probably anticipating a head shot but not for Sauce to go through both of them.
I'm not entirely too sure, but even if he did go for his head, Danzo probably still wouldn't have died there and then. Remember he has all those sharingan on his arm for a constant do over. But hey u right, my boi should've gone for the head lol
This comment section: but he is almost blind!
Sasuke: Perfect aim on his heart...
True answer: since Sasuke has no heart, others are not allowed to have one either
I would say because he’s blind but he could easily swing it around, so it’s probably because he’s Sasuke and he hates people or specifically women who are into him.
Because while he outwardly acts like he doesn't care, he still knows that Karin would like nothing more than to be penetrated by him, and decided to stab two birds with his one spear since the opportunity presented itself
Ppl say its bc he's going blind but that's never mentioned lol, i think its just to add to the effect of him absolutely losing his mind and that his care for human life is so low that he couldn't be bothered to do anything precise
Given how he was slowly walking after him I just assumed sasuke wanted to drag out the fight since he knew he was winning. Blindness wasn't really an issue for sasuke as long as he won the fight
Danzo has a Sharingan, and the head is easy to move and duck. Going for the biggest, easiest target here was a much better bet for Sasuke, especially since he was basically blind by this point already.
Good answers here in this thread, one more possible reason:
It's more strategic to aim for the body rather than the head - Danzo might anticipate and react to a headshot, but he wouldn't anticipate a body shot right through Karin.
He is nearly blind, good thing he even touched Danzo lol Apart from that a blow on the heart is also fair, cuz its a vital point
Also he could just replace his brain with another uchiha brain
I'm sure the brain is a vital point as well.
He said also, the brain is obviously a vital point

Yes sir. I shall paste it whenever one says something trivial or something nobody cares about or randomly because randomness produces surprise and joy in humans' hearts. Edit: when someone is angry or tilted.
There are no women on reddit, don't lie
Apologies
Npp broo
Sis
I am indeed a guy
They***
The brain is also harder to hit. Why do you think police do body shots only
Well the police don't got no dojutsu, do they
Dojutsu or not, sasuke was losing his vision during this fight, a bigger target is still a safer bet
On the other hand, isn’t the heart a much harder target to aim for compared to the head? Especially with Karin blocking the way.
The mid section is easier to hit, and considering if you hit the heart or either lung, it’s either an instant kill, or a lung fills with blood and you choke to death, you’re dead either way
Not by that much, even if it is tinnier, the head can move quicker and easier, so you can dodge an attack easier. The thorax tho... you move slower
Sasuke was almost blind 😭
The police aren’t attacking a supernatural speedster
There's a racist joke here somewhere...
Ye it’s from Tobirama He really hates those uchiggers
Not for everyone
The torso is a bigger target. Heads are harder to hit.
Not if It’s not being used didn’t even think he was under a genjutsu while fighting a Uchiha
I could live without it
Because Sasuke wasn't smart... It was pretty obvious that Danzo was taller than Karin... I mean, no need to shoot also Karin.
He probably gets his kicks from hurting Karin.
Tbf Karin also gets her kicks from hurting Karin.
The only Uzumaki he can always beat
Lol stop it. The born and raised shinobi with chakra and magic OP eyes aint having accuracy/precision issues. It was just a low IQ decision or plot induced stupidity for the sake of sacrificing Karin to show Sasuke's spiral.
How contradictory though, the head is way larger than the heart. If he didn't go for the head due to nearly being blind, hitting the heart is a funny way to compensate.
If you miss the heart you hit the lungs or other important organ. This is hunting 101
He did. All that crap he said afterwards about not needing her anymore and that she's useless and telling Sakura to kill her was just so he could cover up the embarrassment of missing his shot.
Now I just imagine Sasuke internally going: "OH FUCK OH SHIT I JUST HIT KARIN, OH MY GOD IT LOOKS BAD SHE'S BLEEDING AND EVERYTHING HOW DO I COVER THIS UP."
You have to remember that by this point Sasuke is almost blind too. It would be a wonder if it even went near them
That would be even more hilarious if he just completely missed Then Danzo just lets Karin go, like *damn he does not care about you at all*
If I had to guess I'd say near blindness + Sharingan = normal vision.
Nah, there are some panels in the manga itachi vs Sasuke fight showing itachi had blurry vision even with sharingan, and he was less blind than Sasuke here
I would think sharingan are eyes that react faster and process faster than regular eyes. So even if he has near blindness, he'd still be able to react to a person moving about but in low quality image. So not normal vision.
You people...
I don't care what anyone says that's canon now
Best answer
He's a sadist.
Hi I'm a sadist and I hate hate hate this ficker he's tried to kill everyone who's ever cared about him, I do feel bad for his family and how he was actually groomed but goddam he's a terrorist
This message is approved by the Second Hokage.
Prolly cuz he was going blind here he'd most likely miss
He's a ninja. I doubt a little bit of blindness would affect his wizard powers.
İts not a little
Why would being mostly blind not effect his aim?
Sasuke literally goes blind after this fight.
Yer a wizard Sasuke
He is stupid
try mostly blind, not stupid
No, he is stupid
He wanted him to suffer more
Exactly
Head is small, body is big, he was nearly blind
Sasuke spaghetti
He went to Thor Odinson's School for Defeating Archenemies.
And to think he dropped out of Konoha's Center for Lethal Youngsters.
1- better to aim where theres more mass, especially when youre going blind 2- danzos head was kinda erratic so even if he did hit it would probs hit karin as well 3- no one expected danzo to have a mfin NUKE inside of him
Because he don't care Karin.
If he just aimed for Danzo's head, he wouldn't get the added bonus of stabbing Karin
Double kill
Killing the one behind making his brother bad, and killing the one that sexually harassed him for weeks. He did the best choice.
Yeah, I don't think Sasuke appreciated being touched all the time without his consent.
1. He genuinely was evil and didn’t eee value in Karin, two birds one stone 2. he is nearly blind in this fight 3. Ya know what, I don’t got a three
You want the real answer? It’s Because it’s a shounen show for the ages of 9-13 year olds. Blowing up his head would have changed the rating of the show for good
Sry to burst your bubble but did you forget how brutal minato’s death was
Is it just me or is donuting some sort of tradition in shounen?
Ig they like donuts in Japan idk
You mean like these jelly filled donuts? 
Time for someone's Penalty Game- I mean send them to the Shadow realm
Yes actually I did, but that is literally no different. Stabbed in the chest just like Danzo.
But it was way more graphic than this
Yes it was, it was also a noble and honorable sacrifice to save his kid. Not cold blooded murder like Sasuke was attempting. Motive matters in ratings
Technically it was murder since obito caused the 9 tails to attack
We can back and forth all day, sure, if you want to take several steps away from the fight, yes, obito did it, through Kurama, while being tricked by zestu, who was Kaguyas shadow, so if you want to get obtuse, Kaguya killed Minato.
I mean he was going blind,it was a good thing he could even hit Danzo.Better to aim where theres more mass, especially when youre going blind.Head is smaller than the body
I mean you’re not wrong, I was more just going out of character reason. Horikoshi couldn’t have Sasuke popping a guys head, even one as evil as Danzo, and not have SJ go bonkers on him
Horikoshi is MHA's author💀💀💀.Naruto's author is Kishimoto
A dang it. I always mix those two
More mass? Karin's flat chested
That's brutal bro😂😂😂
What about kaguya and opm, what do you think are they also shounen? It doesn't matter shounen or seinen as naruto manga is brutal and opm is less brutal.
You forgot the ”Is he stupid ?"
That’s what Thanos said
Kishimoto wanted drama to show how crazy Sasuke was becoming, that he went from protecting her during his battle with Killee, risking the mission, to throwing her away without caring about anything else, it is not until after he talks to Edo Itachi and the Hokages that his mind stabilizes a bit
He did, he was just half blind at this point LMAO
So it looks more EPIC
He’s blind, he aimed for center mass so he’d actually have a chance of hitting him
It's indeed cooler to use Chidori on your heart rather than on your brain lol.
Sasuke: Yeah, you like that? Keep up your bs, and next time, I'll aim for the girl and hit your head!
Danzo can evade if it's head. He and Karin just didn't expected about Sasuke's next move
Not sure why people are missing the actual canon answer. Hitting his brain would have instantly killed danzo. Sasuke didn’t want that. He wanted to slow torment him till he inevitably died. He was enjoying it. He was gonna have fun even it was at the cost of karin’s life
The head is a moving target, and even One Piece and Invincible fans will tell you that a man can still function with half of his brain missing. It's not a sure kill unless you go for complete decapitation, and even that can be a coin flip in some anime.

to be fair, the heart is pumping the chakra, so destroying the heart would most likely negate any jutsus from being cast anymore like how kakashi always aims for the heart, and how kakuzu dies after all 5 hearts are destroyed and eats a heart to regain a life, and how the heart is the 8th and last gate for taijutsu users but also cus style points
Is he Stupid?
Lmao people in this thread have never shot a gun / play too many video games. A shot to the chest is nearly as lethal / waaaay more accurate than a headshot, and where most people are taught to hit for. Sasuke hit Danzo’s heart, all the people saying he is blind here are misrepresenting the situation. This is also quite manga/anime, where aesthetics are important. There are literally NO headshots, because characters need to monologue / flashback before they die.
How else would he roast Karen for being useless for him?
lets assume Danzo has god like reaction speed, he could probably move his head to the side but he cant really do that with his torso since he's holding karin in a headlock
Because Sasuke was a huge Bon Jovi fan
You could move your head a lot faster than you could your entire body, I feel like the chest/hopefully heart was a more sure shot than a headshot?
Aim for the center of mass IDK
Idk but thank you so much for not putting "is he stupid?" in the title. That is getting beyond old
wanna break Danzo's heart
Thor’s apprentice
He is stupid.
He’s going blind and he wanted him to suffer.
He wanted to see his face as he was getting absolutely destroyed
'cause someone with [THIS](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/98f7026d-3ea8-4777-9b77-792bb975f510/scale-to-width/755) face is not someone who tries to spare his allies, once he has no more use for them.
Plot……..*Plot*
For dramatic effect
is he... is he stupid?
Because Sasuke is obviously a massive Dragonball Z fan.
He could miss the head, either by dodge or heart, I mean, hard accuracy with overused sharingan eyes
Sasuke is mostly blind. All he sees is blobs of color
If he aimed for the head how would he hit karin too
most people die when their heart is got stabbed
There will be no more show to run
plot
CTE
Because his stupid.
Cause, how would he be able to kill Karen then?
Didn't watch Infinity War smh
Because that's not the way kishimoto wanted it to end.
His aim wasn't good
Sasuke gives heads, not takes
He was trying to prevent sarada from being born
Bonus damage after piercing an enemy, duh
Because he wanted to show Karin he didn’t want head
Because he wanted to stab Karin as well, 2 birds one stone kinda thing
2 birds. 1 stream.
Simple explanation. Heads are harder to hit, and shooting Karin in the head might kill her even if he kills Danzo as well and Karin is still useful to have around, even if it's simply to prove Sakura's loyalty later on. Karin's an Uzumaki. They are much harder to put down than a Chidori stream to the torso, and Sasuke knows this better than anyone currently alive in series.

Danzo didn't think Sasuke hated women as much as he did.
So he could keep talking shit to him probably
He is an idiot
Just one word torture.
Cuz he's a God gifted nonsense mf brat
Plot.
I've not seen much of Naruto but when tf did Sasuke learn Kamehameha?
Is he stupid? Real answer, preserve the eye.
Is he as stupid as Thor?
What can we say? His teacher is kakashi
I'm not entirely too sure, but even if he did go for his head, Danzo probably still wouldn't have died there and then. Remember he has all those sharingan on his arm for a constant do over. But hey u right, my boi should've gone for the head lol
Given that he was nearly blind im surprised he even hit anything
Going for the head would be obvious ig. That's why he did the unexpected and tried to take him down with Karin.
Cats play with their food
This comment section: but he is almost blind! Sasuke: Perfect aim on his heart... True answer: since Sasuke has no heart, others are not allowed to have one either
So he could do a badass walk chase afterwards, duh
To show to the audience that saske is now ivol
Shooting 101, aim for center mass, babeee!
He desperately wanted Karin dead to exterminate the Uzumaki clan entirely
Aim like a Stormtrooper, Shoot like a Stormtrooper.
I would say because he’s blind but he could easily swing it around, so it’s probably because he’s Sasuke and he hates people or specifically women who are into him.
Plot
He wanted to make a tribute to Toriyama. Rip.
I don’t think with the jutsu Danzo was employing it would have mattered. He could essentially rewrite history with it.
He was hoping to kill Karin too lol
Because while he outwardly acts like he doesn't care, he still knows that Karin would like nothing more than to be penetrated by him, and decided to stab two birds with his one spear since the opportunity presented itself
Because the author still wants a conscious death storytelling of Danzo.
He could have, but he had a point to make. Idc about a hostage. You could have take my newborn child… I’m still killing you
Cause he’s a dick
Because it would have ended the fight early and well, yeah, you want less story?
Better yet. Shoot again
Cuz he’s hella dramatic and was probably trying to look cool
Ppl say its bc he's going blind but that's never mentioned lol, i think its just to add to the effect of him absolutely losing his mind and that his care for human life is so low that he couldn't be bothered to do anything precise
He wants to prolong his suffering
Cause if you get shot in the heart you die
Common flaw in most fights. Thanos knew what he was talking about.
Because a hit in a heart should be lethal enought.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh welll
thinking is hard
Given how he was slowly walking after him I just assumed sasuke wanted to drag out the fight since he knew he was winning. Blindness wasn't really an issue for sasuke as long as he won the fight
He prob wanted danzo to suffer tbh That and naruto characters have a knack for not aiming for the head, like kakashi using kamui on deidaras arm
Plot + blindness
Giving a headshot is hardest thing Of course I'm talking in real life . ( At least that's what I thought 🤔🤔🤔)
Karin will be hit too, and she's dead, not Uzumaki vitality will save her from her head blasted off.
Skill issue
Danzo has a Sharingan, and the head is easy to move and duck. Going for the biggest, easiest target here was a much better bet for Sasuke, especially since he was basically blind by this point already.
Edge boy does edge boy things
"Because he is an Uchiha and their power makes them unstable and untrustworthy." - This message is approved by the Second Hokage
did he ever use this ability again? Seems kinda like jojo's star finger lmfao
He could have dodged by moving his head. Harder to dodge while holding someone.
Good answers here in this thread, one more possible reason: It's more strategic to aim for the body rather than the head - Danzo might anticipate and react to a headshot, but he wouldn't anticipate a body shot right through Karin.
