Hiruzen didn't just randomly send her on a mission to make himself feel better, Shads, he wasn't actively looking for an Uchiha to save. It was Iruka who came knocking on his door and begging him to place her on a C-Rank mission, since Kimi thought D-Rank missions weren't challenging enough for her, which can also be seen as some arrogance typical of the Uchiha. I really don't see Hiruzen declining such a favor.

She wasn't completely forgotten by Danzou either. After the massacre, the body count didn't add up, so he found out Kimi was the missing Uchiha and marked her as a rogue. He warned Itachi about it, who later on actually confronted her in Kumogakure and would have killed her if it weren't for reinforcements.

When Kakuzu and Hidan captured Yugito, she confronted them alongside Len, with who she had developed a rival, albeit friendly relationship for 4 or 5 years. Not only did she squarely lost again, failed to rescue her sensei, who she viewed almost like a second mother, killed her only true friend by "fatally" wounding Hidan in his Cursed Blood state, but would have probably been killed once more if Killer B hadn't interfered. She became so distraught with her weakness and failures, it awoke her Mangekyou Sharingan and fueled her Curse of Hatred, which I would like to elaborate in her MS app, if it happens.

To top it off, after telling Killer B to announce to the governmental bodies she was leaving the country without intentions of leaking anything, Kumo obviously still sent an ANBU hit-squad after her. This is the second village that "betrays" her, after Konoha with the ROOT shinobi.

On a side note, I never said Kimi didn't need the shinobi core skills, I meant they don't need to be heavily focused or utilized in her career as a kunoichi. She's just as good as an assassin or spy as she is as a front-line soldier, who don't need to be as "ninja" and rather dish out all they have on the enemy head-on.
