All previous Sharingan abilities greatlyItachi Shinden: Book of Dark Night, Chapter 5 enhancedNaruto Chapter 257, plus: Enhanced Mind Manipulation and Memory Manipulation with Kotoamatsukami (KotoamatsukamiJin no Sho, Page 252Naruto Chapter 459Naruto Chapter 550 is regarded as the most powerful Mangekyō Sharingan genjutsu of all. It allows its user to assume perfect control of their victim without them realizing they're being controlled. It achieves this by implanting false phantom experiences and thoughts into the user's mind that they mistake for their own, and makes it so they genuinely believe that the user's commands are their own independent thoughts. Additionally, this genjutsu does not require direct eye contact with its victim)

Attack Potency: Large Mountain level (Casually one-shot KarinNaruto Chapter 478 twice and couldNaruto Chapter 477 harmNaruto Chapter 479 FKS Sasuke), up to Island level with Mokuton (Diverted an arrow from Sasuke’s Susano’oNaruto Chapter 478) and Fūton: Shinkū Renpa (When enhanced by Baku's extreme suction, this Jutsu was capable of bypassing the defenses of Sasuke's Humanoid Susano'o and stripping it of its armorNaruto Chapter 479Scales to approximately 4.3 Gigatons)
Speed: At least Massively Hypersonic+ (Able to fight against MS Sasuke)
Lifting Strength: Class M (Superior to Jirobo)
Striking Strength: Large Mountain level (Comparable to FKS Sasuke)
Durability: Large Mountain level (Comparable to FKS Sasuke), Izanagi makes him hard to kill.
Stamina: Superhuman, although many of his powerful techniques drain his chakra considerably.
Range: Dozens of meters with Ninjutsu
Standard Equipment: Various ninja tools, such as shuriken and kunai.
Intelligence: Gifted. He is a master manipulator and managed to masterfully manipulate Hiruzen, Itachi, Nono, and Yamato into following his suggestions through their better nature. Highly skilled shinobi, especially in the areas of Taijutsu, Fuinjutsu, and Ninjutsu. Expert strategist enough to hold his own against Sasuke and catch him off-guard several times, had it not been for his pride and holding back he would've killed the former. Master of concealment, as he managed to hide his underhanded activities for years.
Weaknesses: Somewhat overconfident. He can only use Izanagi for ten minutes. Cannot use Wood Release to its fullest potential, and can lose control of Hashirama's cells when critically injured, forcing him to remove his right arm. Wood Release and Izanagi are severely draining on his chakra. The Sharingan's ability to copy Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu is limited by the user's physical conditionRin no Sho, pages 192-193, that is to say that the user needs to be physically capable of performing the technique they are trying to replicate. They need to meet any physical or chakra amount prerequisites the technique in question may have. This ability is also incapable of replicating Kekkei Genkai, due to either not possessing the genetic predisposition and/or having the necessary chakra natures. Naturally, the user also needs to actually see the technique they are attempting to copy, meaning they cannot copy something they did not see or is obscured from their line of sight. In fact, the same can be said for essentially all of the Sharingan's abilities; they are sight based abilities, so if the opponent can obscure the user's vision using extremely thick mist/dustNaruto Chapter 26 or blind them, the Sharingan's abilities will be rendered useless. Likewise if the opponent is too fast for the Sharingan to visually keep track of them, they will be safe from its abilities. Sharingan Genjutsu requires eye contact, so if the opponent is able to avoid eye contact or is blind, they will be able to avoid Sharingan Genjutsu entirely. Finally, the Sharingan's predictive capabilities can be somewhat circumvented by attacks that have little to no pattern, such as Naruto's chakra armsNaruto Chapter 231 that emerge from any part of his body and attack instinctively.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Sharingan (Mirror Wheel Eye): The first of the Sharingan's powers is being able to see the flow of chakra. The Sharingan itself gives color to chakra, allowing the wielder to differentiate them. The Sharingan's second-most prominent ability grants the user an incredible clarity of perception, allowing the user to pick up on subtle details. As the Sharingan evolves, this ability extends to being able to track fast-moving objects before finally giving some amount of predictive capabilities to the user, allowing them to see the image of an attacker’s next move from the slightest muscle tension in their body. The Sharingan's third and most well-known ability is that it grants the user the ability to memorize almost any technique that he or she witnesses. The Sharingan's final commonly-used ability is capable of inducing a unique brand of hypnosis that involves suggesting actions and thoughts to the opponent through genjutsu cast by simple eye contact between both parties.
*Izanagi: Izanagi is a genjutsu that is cast on the user instead of others. If the caster of the Izanagi experiences something unpleasant, like death or injury, the caster is brought back to the original state, from which he cast the Izanagi. In exchange for the brief control of the caster's fate, the Sharingan with which Izanagi is cast becomes blind. To exploit it as much as possible, Danzō has ten Sharingan implanted into his right arm, allowing him to maintain it for up to ten minutes. His Izanagi is considered incomplete, however.
*Kotoamatsukami (Distinguished Heavenly Gods): The ultimate technique of Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan, granted to Danzō through his stolen eye. Through it, he can manipulate the thoughts of others, giving them false experiences that make them believe they are acting of their own accord. Danzō can utilize this without establishing eye contact, unlike most Sharingan Genjutsu. He can't use it very often, however.
Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques): A type of jutsu that seal objects, living beings, chakra, along with a wide variety of other things within another object.
*Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique: A suicide technique, triggered upon Danzō's death. It releases four symbols from the user's body, before forming a large black sphere that seals anything caught within it inside the user's corpse.
*Self-Cursing Seal: A seal that slowly spreads through the target's body, paralyzing them. However, it can be broken through by a sufficient release of chakra.
Futon (Wind Release): One of the five fundamental elemental nature transformations. It is performed by making chakra as sharp and thin as possible. Wind Release is mainly short to mid-ranged offensive techniques that combine brute force and keen precision to deliver cutting and slashing damage. Wind techniques are usually performed by generating air circulation and can be enhanced through this method as well. Wind-natured chakra can also be channeled into blades to increase their cutting power and overall range.
*Wind Release: Vacuum Blade: The user exhales wind-infused chakra onto a weapon to increase its sharpness, range, and lethality.
*Wind Release: Vacuum Blast: The user takes a deep breath and spins while exhaling, compressing the released air into a single blade of wind that covers a substantial area around the user, due to their circular motion.
*Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves: The user takes a deep breath and exhales several blades of wind at different angles, by rapidly moving their head in various directions.
*Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere: The user takes a breath and then exhales several small blasts of wind chakra over a large area, making it difficult to avoid them. They are fired with enough force to penetrate the skin and shatter rock.
Mokuton (Wood Release): An advanced nature kekkei genkai that combines earth and water-based chakra natures to create wood or complete trees. This ability can also be used to alter other aspects of trees, such as seeds or flowers. Wood Release techniques can be produced from anywhere, including the user's body, as the user's chakra is converted into a source of life. Danzō has access to Wood Release through his right arm, although his use of it is rudimentary and takes a heavy toll on his chakra.
Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique): It is a space-time ninjutsu that allows the summoner to summon animals or people across long distances instantly.
*Baku: A massive chimeric creature summoned by Danzō. It can create a powerful suction effect that draws in everything within a large radius to its mouth while exhaling through its trunk. Danzō uses it to enhance his Wind Release techniques.
