He was looking for a peaceful way to resolve things. I don't see him ensuing an order to quell the Uchiha either, because to Hiruzen it would be the same thing as attacking his own people. And I imagine he would do something if an opportunity like Kimi's showed up, that would give him the meaning he hadn't failed at his job as Hokage completely by allowing even one single life to be spared. Besides, if Iruka hadn't come knocking on his door, Kimi would have likely died in the massacre.
