Standard Jungle Start, but I've been starting multi pot.
Assassin's Blessing
Mace
Multi Potion
Hand of the Gods
Blink Rune
Priority is Building power,and CDR with some attack speed. Danz abilities hit hard, so the more often you can cast them the better. Hydra's and fail not both provide MP5 which will be useful mid game since resource managment can be an issue. They also provide a combined 30% cdr.
Ninja Tabi
The Crusher
Hydra's Lament
Fail-Not
Heartseeker
Bloodforge
Blink Rune
Purification Beads
This build provides Full CDR at 40%, provides some ability based lifesteal earlier in the build with souleater, and increased attack speed with Odysseus' Bow. I prefer the first build, but this build was also effective.
Ninja Tabi
Jotunn's Wrath
Soul Eater
Hydra's Lament
Heartseeker
Atalanta's Bow
Some of these item's I've tried, but not all of them. There's quite a few different ways you can round out his builds and you should find what works best for you. Not all games will be the same, and you will sometimes need to build accordingly. I'm sure I missed plenty of other items that fit, but hopefully this is useful.
Malice
The Sledge
Blackthorn Hammer
Berserker's Shield
Toxic Blade
Witchblade
Transcendence
Aegis Amulet
Prioritize Fools Gold for the clear, but level ult when available. Next priority should be alluring spirits for the CD Reduction, and increased damage/heal. Tanuki Trickery is last priority.

Danzaburou Is an ability based hunter, and IMO really shines in the jungle as of the current release. Danzaburou a few different ways the past couple of days, and I've had the most success building towards power, cdr, and some attack speed. If you have any tips or advice to make the guide better please feel free to comment.

Passive - Dubious Savings
Dubious Savings Is pretty self explanatory. You have 4 money bags that fill with gold, and once filled you receive a power boost. Each Bag equates to 10 power, and provides some bonus gold.
1 - Fool's Gold Fool's Gold is your main jungle/wave clear. But don't sleep on the damage potential against enemy gods. You will need to get use to the bounces of the Money bag's while in the jungle, and keeping the camps in the explosion. The better you are with the explosions the faster your clear will be. When engaging an enemy ideally you will start with either Alluring Spirits or Uproarious Rocket to close the distance. Then follow up with Fool's Gold to hit all 3 money bags. The money bags will stop when they hit an enemy god and require melee range to hit all 3.
2 - Alluring Spirits Alluring Spirits is an essential part of Danzaburou's kit. When in range of an enemy this is the ability I typically use to engage. Keep in mind there is roughly a 1 second delay from hitting the ability to when Alluring Spirits is thrown. If you can hit the enemy in the center they will take damage, get slowed, and then taunted. Generally this ability is best used in tandem with Fool's Gold. If you hit an enemy with Alluring Spirits you can move in to melee range, then follow up with Fool's Gold to secure the kill. This ability is also great for zoning out enemies, securing an escape, and sometimes just to get some extra health.
3 - Tanuki Trickery Tanuki Trickery Is one of the main reasons why Danzaburou really shines in the jungle. I've seen a lot of people use this ability just as an escape, but it provides so much more. The first part of Tanuki Tickery has a 5 second duration which should be used if not for the full duration at least a portion in most scenarios. If enemies want to chase you into the Field they will be slowed by 20% and their basic attacks are reduced by 20%. As a hunter you can sit in the field and basic attack the enemy with no movement penalties while your other abilities are on cool down or during team fights. It's also great for when taking objectives. When you do exit the field and turn into a leaf you gain increased movement speed and partial stealth to chase down an enemy or get to safety. Keep in mind that while a leaf if the enemy hits you your stealth will be broken. If you are using this ability to escape try not to just run in a straight line, or you will most likely get killed. I will often leave the field then walk back in a different direction to confuse the enemy and safely escape.
4 - Uproarious Rocket Uproarious Rocket or what I like to call the Gank Rocket. This might be the most enjoyable ability in Smite. You have two different options with this ultimate. If you hit the ability once your in the lock on mode which you can turn and aim at a particular god then let it fly. This version of the ultimate is great for enemies that are low health hiding under their tower, have stealth like 
Jormungandr, or are in an area you would prefer not to dive. The rocket will lock onto an enemy and even follow them while they are in stealth. When casting Uproarious Rocket if you press it a second time you will see an arrow in front of the rocket. After the roughly 1.5 second wind up you hop in and get to steer the rocket. This is fantastic for engaging enemies from the jungle, diving the back line, and getting around tanky targets. The person you hit with the ult will be stunned, while nearby enemies will take 50% damage. As soon as the rocket hits Danzaburou will appear, and you should fire a basic attack, and then Fool's Gold while they are stunned. If they are some how still alive hit another basic attack followed by Alluring Spirits and another basic attack to finish the job.

Danzaburou so new I haven't had a chance to test all of the different combinations. Hopefully, this guide will help others find what works for them and what doesn't.
Blink Rune Typical Jungler relic to provide another engage option, and get the jump on enemies. Ideally we will blink into the enemy and hit with Alluring Spirits follwed by Fool's Gold
Purification Beads
ALTERNATIVE Aegis Amulet Is an alternative if enemy comp has very little or no CC. Aegis is great for the enemy Danzaburou Uproarious Rocket or the enemy 
Tsukuyomi Ult.
Assassin's Blessing is a must for the jungle. 30% bonus damage to camps, some power, some health, and HP/mana restored for each Jungle monster killed. Once evolved you also gain 5% movement speed, and +5 penetration.
Ninja Tabi is my preferred choice for boots with this build. They provide needed movement speed, some attack speed, some much needed mana, and some power.
ALTERNATIVE
Warrior Tabi Is an option since we are getting attack speed from crusher, but I haven't personally tried using them on Danzaburou yet. I could see the extra 20 power early game being useful, but I think midgame the attack speed will provide more value.
The Crusher Provides great value early with 30 power, +20% attack speed, and +15 physical penetration.
ALTERNATIVE Jotunn's Wrath Is an alternative providing early CDR and additional mana, but no attack speed. If you plan on building Fail-Not I would stick with The Crusher.
Hydra's Lament Power, 10% Cool down reduction, and +10 MP5. Most importantly is the passive which provides an additional 40% damage to your basic attacks for up to 8 seconds after using an ability. This item is perfect for Danzaburou, but you need to be sure to use it. Make sure your firing a basic attack after each ability.
Fail-Not Is an item that can only be purchased by Hunters and I highly recommend taking advantage of it. It provides you with 45 Physical power, 20% Cool down Reduction, 10% physical penetration, and 20% critical strike chance. It also has a useful passive since we will often be engaging with Uproarious Rocket your next basic attack/ability after your ultimate that hits an enemy will mark them increasing the chance you and your allies can land a crit by 15% for 10 seconds.
Heartseeker brings some additional %penetration for shredding tanks, lots of power, some mana, and some MP5. The passive is great for high HP targets.
Bloodforge is the final piece of your build that will replace your Blessing. It provides you with 75 physcial power and 15% physical lifesteal. The passive will provide you with a nice shield and some movement speed after killing an enemy god.
ALTERNATIVE Malice Is an item i haven't tested yet, but I think fits the build. Provides 40 power, 25% crit chance, and most importantly 10% cdr to get you to the Cool down reduction cap. It's not something I typically build, but I think it fits.

Hydra's is kinda unnecessary imo. Cuz most of your initiations will be long-range and pricing hydra every time will be hard. Actually, for similar passive, I think Runeforged Hammer is better cuz it's passive not limited with only basics it includes all damage that comes from you.
Also, I think he needs lifesteal a little bit earlier. Not as the 6th item imo.
But still a good one. Good days.
Danzaburou is just a super interesting god with how he plays. I push his ability usage to its limits by building transcendence, power boots, soul eater, jotunns wrath, hydras lament, and Heartseeker.
His passive gold gain really makes the expense of the build not noticeable and I often am able to start building stacks for soul eater and transcendence at the same time. Its a pretty gross build.
@Branmuffin17 is a really good Danza player. Bran, what do you think?
