Except of course that it's not what happened. Sarutobi wasn't given counsel he didn't like but still listened to. He was told what's what, disagreed and it happened anyway because his "counselors" took the decision, outvoted him and acted upon it.
And I can't help but notice you carefully never adressed the fact that Danzou brainwashed and butchered war orphans to build his private army (which is something known by the characters and not just the readers) so I will ask again : how do you reconcile this with Sarutobi's character? Do you think he also "let that be carried out because he knew what was at stake"?
