Hayato's mother, Pansy, came from a mid-sized family in Amegakure and was skilled in the Summoning Technique. Of course, a family like that would only count as a small clan in Konoha. You could tell from the fact that an apartment building with seven or eight units could house their entire family.
It was difficult for a family like this to survive in a brutal village like Amegakure. Since they had endured, they naturally had their own means of survival.
Marriage alliances were one of that family's methods of survival.
The story was simple. Young, innocent Pansy met Takaya Hyuga. Unwilling to become a tool for her family's marriage alliance, she traveled the Shinobi World with Takaya Hyuga, then returned to Konoha, where they married and had children.
From Pansy's perspective, she had been pursuing freedom and resisting oppression. But to the family, it was outright betrayal. Sacrificing everything for the family, including one's life and soul, was the universal rule and value of the era. Even Konoha could not break such rules.
Why had Konoha's White Fang died?
Because the universal rule was that missions took precedence over everything. Especially the missions Hatake Sakumo carried out—they were all S-rank, tied to the survival of villages and nations. Perhaps he had saved one teammate, but the village might have lost a hundred shinobi because of it.

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen's choice, Hayato no longer wished to comment on it.
It was just that...
If it had been Hayato, even if
