Would Minato politically assassinate and then ACTUALLY assassinate Danzou? Eventually, yeah probably, because Danzou would take it 'a step too far' for Minato to be comfortable with, probably with some plot involving his wife and/or child and/or Kakashi. Would Minato have any moral qualms about working with Orochimaru? Absolutely not. Not a single damn one.

Like the thing about Minato is. He is not A Normal Good Guy. He is the most successfully groomed child genius in the show. He is the ideal Hiruzen chased when he let ROOT be a thing in the first place. He's the most effective agent of the state in the show and that makes him, to many people, a god. He successfully indocrinates Kakashi and Kushina, two of the biggest security risks of the generation, into undying loyalty to konoha, and doesn't even realize he's doing that, he just loves them. he's just so naturally charasmatic. He's just never had a second thought about his country ever. Everyone trusts him and likes him and believes him when he says he's doing what's best. he thinks he's a good person. if you told him he wasn't allowed to do something he would actually LAUGH at you. He made himself into a living nightmare for entire countries in one night. He singlhandedly ended the war in doing so. He legitimantly thinks himself an advocate of peace and ignores the blood staining the bottom of his heavenly white coat. He blinks at you with his big ol baby blues in confusion as you demand justice for anything, and calmly explains it away. he's a genius. He DOES get mad at injustice, because he's a good person, obviously. He talks softly and carries a big stick. He loves his wife and his son so so so much and he wants nothing but the best for them, but he's selfish. He doesn't love them more then the village. He doesn't love them more then himself. He'd kill you for suggesting such a horrible thing about him, and so would Kushina. The absolute double think. I think Minato should read 1984.

if minato read 1984 he would go "wow that's messed up. thankfully that would never happen in konoha"

#minato reading 1984 and taking notes. 'wow! this empire sucks but they've got the right idea about the control of information.#why didn't I think of that!'
