We know for a while that Konoha's government is/was far from being an ideal or just example of human society, yet last chapter ( 583 ) further proved that Konoha, despite being known as the greatest, most powerful, the one housing the strongest Kage etc. was rotten to the core, and that shadowy figures like Danzou did whatever they wanted brushing off the authority of the Hokage.
Danzou threatened the orphanage under the protection of the Hokage, and basically laughed in the faces of the heads when they said that Sandaime was the one to streak a deal with them, providing money to the facility.
From here is basically Danzou saying that he is the one in charge, not Sarutobi.
From what we saw, Danzou pratically did whatever he wanted in Konoha and other countries, all under Sarutobi's and Tsunade's nose ( we don't know if ROOT was all that active under the Yondaime, probably mostly because he was Hokage for a short time ) withouth them being aware of it:
-The incident in Ame, where Danzou betrayed Yahiko's group and aiding Hanzo, a world known terrorist of sort
-The Uchiha incident, when the Elders pratically did whatever they wanted while Sandaime, the one in charge, was the only one countrary to the massacre. Massacre that granted Danzou a good lot of eyes, again under the Hokage's nose
-ROOT not-aiding during the Suna invasion and the Pein invasion ( for the latter Tsunade has no blames since she was comatose )
-ROOT not being disbanded and continuing to act inside the village ( proving that Jiraiya and his "spy network" were likely incompetent and/or lacking )
-Danzou planting Sai despite Tsunade's idea on the matter
-The confirmation of the existence of ROOT thanks to Sai, without Tsunade doing anything about it
This adds to the long list of shortcomings displayed in the matter of the village:
the container of the Kyuubi, the mightest Bijuu in existance, treated like trash and left alone, potentially leading him into a path of darkness ( very much like Gaara did ) risking to have a Jinchuuriki destroy the village and/or unleashing the Kyuubi.
Despite the wish of the Yondaime, you know the one that sacrificed his life and the one of his family to save the village.
Same for the last Uchiha, a boy 8 year old tortured by his brother after seeing his family murdered, left alone in his compound., instead of trying to strenghten the bonds with the Leaf Village.
Total carelessness regarding the upbringing of the shinobis ( Kakashi as a teacher sucked badly, same with Asuma and Kurenai, since apart from their clan jutsus or prior jutsu knowed, the kids were nothing special.
Example? Sakura, Ino, Chouji, Hinata, Kiba to an extent, same with Naruto and Shikamaru ) and their general placement .
Three weak nobodies from the Sound dispatched of Sakura and the whole team 10, while against Lee they needed to gang up and be lucky as hell is a good example.
Leaving Orochimaru alone to flee, leaving Jiraiya to do nothing but peep on women, leaving Tsunade to be a drunk gambler instead of at least forcing 2 of the Sannins to be in the Village, expecially after the death of Yondaime, one of the most feared Shinobi in existance and the near annihilation of one of the founding clans of Konoha.
The Hyuuga incident, that was total and utter bullshit:
basically Sandaime bend over and proved to be Raikage's bitch despite being in the right, instead of saying "bring it on, you invade us we destroy you".
Same with the Caged Bird Seal, a good Hokage would slap the hyuuga and tell them the Byakugan is useless anyway.
Expecially after the Raikage tried to kidnap Kushina, good job on that too by the way, saved by a brat Yondaime.
We know from experience that no village is pretty or full of justice ( hell Kumo kidnapped young ninjas from all over the world, Kiri made a test by slaughtering companions plus the bloodline purge, Iwa let's not even go there, Suna the same ) yet at least kages are seen as powerful figures, and Kages are the one ruling the village.
From what we saw, Danzou pratically called the shots in Konoha, and controlled everything from the shadows.
The only thing Konoha has to be thankful is that he had Konoha's best intention at heart.
