Shinichi left the handling of the Konoha F4 entirely to Tsunade.
Don't ask. If you did, the answer was that he couldn't be bothered.
Surprisingly, Tsunade neither killed them nor even imprisoned them. If anything counted as punishment, it was her confiscation of all the assets their four clans had acquired over the years by abusing their power.
Of course, a large portion of those assets was returned to Konoha's various clans.
Although Shinichi was somewhat surprised by Tsunade's lenient punishment, he said little about it. After all, his targets were the Konoha F4 themselves; he held no particular hatred toward their clansmen.
Besides, apart from Shimura Danzō, who had already defected, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura might not have received any tangible punishment, but their reputations in Konoha were already in tatters. They probably wouldn't even dare leave their homes from now on.

Kakashi couldn't help rolling his eyes.
When it came to ruthless methods, his older brother was the true master.
He had put the Konoha F4 on trial in front of
