Naruto: Getting Stronger by Drinking

How could Hiruzen Sarutobi not be furious?

He had originally thought that Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, like him, loved Konoha. ...

For Konoha's future, what did those grievances they had suffered amount to?

Moreover, because of the grievances they had suffered, Hiruzen Sarutobi had let bygones be bygones regarding what they had done during the Tailed Beast incident.
