Hiruzen is just dumb that he didn’t know Danzo’s true colours. If Shisui would’ve told Danzo that he stole his other eye,it would be leaked to the Uchiha and the Uchiha would resent the leaf village more and therefore,he committed suicided. He also entrusts everything to Itachi and he did it perfectly however Sasuke became a rogue ninja at the news of Itachi’s death. Itachi’s attempts at saving Konoha were very good methods as it was the only way. Danzo didn’t do much to help Konoha at all. Danzo hated Hiruzen at the moment when Tobirama says that Hiruzen will be the next Hokage therefore Danzo envies him. If you don’t remember,it’s just the moment where Tobirama sacrifices himself and becomes the decoy to the 20 Amegakure people. Itachi’s plan to save Konoha were better than Danzo’s strategies.
