Of course, there was a vast difference between one person's captivity and another's. Some were thrown into prison, fed poorly, kept short on sleep, and forced into hard labor.
Others were held captive with good food and drink. Apart from losing their freedom, they lived quite comfortably.
Mitokado Homura had fought on the front lines during the First Shinobi World War. He and the others had firmly backed Hiruzen Sarutobi's bid to become Hokage, and Homura had later joined Konoha's council of elders. He had made a grave mistake this time, but it was not enough to warrant his death.
As for the Mitokado Family, its fate depended on Uchiha Yi's attitude. It was easy to guess that the family's prospects would be bleak.
Hiruzen Sarutobi would not object. Homura's family had followed him and reaped considerable benefits, even gaining positions beyond their merits.
Hiruzen could usually turn a blind eye, but with a new Hokage taking office, they would have to give up some of what they had gained. Besides, Homura had done wrong. To put it bluntly, he could even be called Uchiha Yi's political enemy.
Moving against Shimura Danzō would not be so easy. Countless hardliners in Konoha stood behind him, and he was their representative.
But to Uchiha Yi, that was hardly a problem. Who was more hardline than the Uchiha Clan? Hiruzen could imagine that once Yi became Hokage, he would not take the conciliatory approach that Hiruzen and Hashirama Senju had taken. Instead, he would use force to subdue the entire Shinobi World.
Whether he went to war with the entire Shinobi World would depend on Yi himself.
Hiruzen would not stand in his way. Every Hokage had his own way of thinking, and as a former Hokage, Hiruzen should not obstruct his successor.
