That is an inherent misconception and down right false. Giving them the Police was an honor and a position of great power. Itachi, Kagami, and Shisui each gained great power outside of the police thus proving that to be false.

The thing that caused the segregation was Danzo that is all. It was Danzo who had them put in a area separate from the rest of the village not the 2nd Hokage. It was Danzo who orchestrated the Uchiha Clan Massacre not the 2nd Hokage.

What is the 2nd Hokage guilty of? Giving them the police. Nothing more. Fact is only 3 people were in "Power" during Lord 1st's reign. Hashirama, Tobirama, and Madara. No clan was in power, so much so in fact that the fate of the Senju Clan remains unknown. For all we know they disappeared Before the Uchiha Clan Massacre.

Your entire argument against Lord 2nd hinges on the fact he segregated the Uchiha keeping them out of power. This is not the case. He kept an eye on a well known unstable group of people, giving them a productive job while simultaneously keeping an eye on them should any of them become like Madara.

Obito in his story about Lord 2nd(which he probably got from Madara himself) was inherently flawed. The Curse of Hatred was strong with Madara and this shows in his telling. Madara hated Lord 2nd because of his killing Izuna nothing more. Fact is Madara was an inherently unstable person who cracked and had to be killed by his best friend Hashirama.

In order for Obito's story to be correct it would require the Leaf's governing body to be made of Senju which was never the case. The Uchiha were never kicked out of power cause there was never any power to be kicked out of. The Uchiha were an arrogant, proud, unstable clan, and them getting wiped out was the only true permament resolution as noted by Danzo in the anime this issue would only arise again later on. At best this was postponing the issue and to be honest postponing it when you already have a resolution which you might not have later is profoundly stupid.

Look I hate Danzo, he's my most despised character who I wish was dead long before he actually died for all the damage he did to Sasuke, Nagato, Kabuto, and the like but I will never say he didn't have the Will of Fire and did an unnecsssary thing in having the Uchiha wiped out. Fact is he saved Thousands of lives by killing off an unstable faction of the Leaf and prevented a world war.
