danzo into danzo, new reinforcement ruling, n1225

[yodaz]

I understand that with the new ruling, a ninja cannot reinforce into the same named card. I wanted to double check if this applied in the case below for danzo, since his requirement, "sacrifice one ninja with sharingan eye", does not require a ninja with the same name as him to be sacrificed. If the case below does not work, would it work if danzo acquired the "name: sasuke uchiha" via his effect?

It is my turn 4. I sacrifice a sasuke with sharingan eye to put danzo into play. I then sacrifice the danzo to put a new danzo into play.

The new rule does not count Name: X, it only counts the actual name printed on the card. As such, the new rule does prevent Danzo from being sacrificed for his own effect.
