@LoneNinj Where was that even implied? 14,000 shinobi? Isn't that a little far fetched? I'm sure the allied forces supplied up alot of other small hidden villages from them. Maybe three hundred or four shinobi, the other rest can't be possible(Or maybe it can, like can you refer me to any chapter or something of it, please)

And no, it was a sudden attack while other Uchihas were sleeping and Eating their dinner that Itachi came with a sword and a out of nowhere slice them with a sword.

Itachi never doubted of their victory…. It was just the aftermath of the coup, that is a civil war, and other villages finally taking advantage of it that worried him.

And what worried him the most was the countless bloodshed. If the Uchiha resorted to war, then it will lead to blood of the Uchiha + Blood of other clan members and Villagers. If he stops the war, that is, kill all the Uchiha, then it will lead to just the spilling of the Uchiha blood. As a pacifist, he picked the one to clean the less of.

Plus, just like I said, the Uchiha can control anyone with just a glance, basically, adding two people from the opponents side to their force. Plus, their Izanagi, allows them to have three lives at best. And let me not count the Nine tails.

The scene you're talking about was a scene of various enemies and leaf shinobi fighting against each other, there weren't much Uchiha shown there and we can see that the ground is left with bodies without Fugaku being damaged much, so I say that's an accomplishment on their side, if anything.

Obito controlled the Mist by controlling/acting as the Mizukage. He did some crazy things without anyone suspecting a thing, and Orochimaru literally disvyised as the Kage and controlled them to attack Konoha. so the clan that controls the police work can easily control the village till he needs them. After a while, Shisui can easily make Hiruzen make Fugaku the Hokage, and no one can say anything about it.

And as I've said, The Uchiha never planned for a violent coup. That shows that they are going to take out the heads and take them as hostage and probably control them as puppets like what Obito did to the Mizukage and Mist and what Orochimaru did with the Sand? What more can happen? Danzo tried to gain the whole shinobi allience under his control.

And the Sand attacked while all the shinobi were busy on the Chunnin exams, obviously. They obviously can't attack straight on, especially with plus the Uchiha clan in the village(The clan that were feared for a cery specific reason). But the fact that it will lead to bloodhsed is ineviteble, but then again, will the Sand even attack? The Sand were tricked by Orochimaru. It was only Orochimaru's interest that made them attack the clan. And for someone like Orochimaru, making good relations to the clan he's obsessed with, would be his top priority.
