To be fair, Tobirama did sound low-key like Uchiha clan deserved to be killed in that moment. And he was the one who put their clan to the outskirts of Konoha.
Tobirama is one of the most grounded and realist characters in Naruto, and given their history - Tobirama was wary of the Uchiha, because of the intense emotions they were likely to feel; but also the knowledge that he hated the Uchiha or thought that they deserved to be killed has no ground in the canon narrative, as not only he personally trains Uchiha Kagami but he is also the one to give a relevant role to the Uchiha in the village (because, their power as police does not apply only to the ANBU and the Hokage himself). The Uchiha clan however has been repositioned in Konoha not by Tobirama, but by Hiruzen after the attack of the Kyuubi and because of the suspicion they might have been behind it? There were suspects of the Uchiha planning a coup because they felt marginalised by the village, as notwithstanding being a noble and powerful clan, none of them were not given prestige positions (Uchiha Fugaku not being considered as the possible Fourth Hokage), but how is that any of Tobirama’s fault? The man had his own quirks, and as a realist he just saw the Uchiha as powerful in their own stead, but if he did hate them and wanted them dead stay sure that he would have made it that the clan was extinct (I think I do have to remind that Tobirama was a genius, and creators of Jutsus that shinobi currently use). But then again: imagine you’re summoned from the dead by your own forbidden jutsu and an Uchiha wants to attack the village you helped nurture and grow.
