Why should they? It wouldn't solve the Uchiha coup problem anyway. Plus, they'd have to face Danzo's elite Anbu shinobi from Root, and even these two couldn't take all of them down. Also, Danzo still was an elder for Konoha, his murder would be a severe crime which would lead to Itachi/Shisui having no choice but to join Uchiha revolt, yet they didn't want to do neither of it. Makes no sense for them to kill Danzo, as I already said.
