The Uchiha were a clan of geniuses, with eyes to predict any movements three or more steps ahead of their opponent, which also allowed them to naturally be masters of all three basics of Jutsu, as well as being masters of Shinobi weopens like Kunai and Shuriken, having even jutsus for it, and they aren't that bad in chakra reserves and their chakra and something called spirit power are more powerful than any other. That and adding their genjutsu, makes them a clan to be worried about. So, the Leaf will most likely fight them while looking at their feet. Which won'5 make things any easier. In the end, only the Senju, who were probably powerhouses and also talented shinobis, were the ones strong enough to face them. Any other, will get wiped out.

Plus, there's also resolve on their side, the Uchiha basically don't have anything left other than pride and family, and the former had already been hurt and the latter will eventually be in danger, as how the Uchiha been looked at by everyone among them. So, they basically had nothing to lose, it was either to do or die and the Uchiha can die three times, if they're willing for it.

Now, let's talk about the possible plan and stuff, From the point of the Uchiha, they were a clan with alot of hidden bases even around the village.

Since they do the police work from generations and have Itachi as anbu, they know every inch of the leaf, every weak spot, every escape route and everyone too.

Information is everything in Shinobi battle, as members of the villahe, they know everything about the other clans and their stats. They know who they are facing. So, Fugaku still not using Naruto as the Nine tails, means they have a good amount of confidence in them and their plan.

From the point of the leaf, I see them knowing all about the Uchiha, but talking about how to counter them would be another thing, as we saw Asuma had to be advised by kakashi to know how to fight against Itachi, even though Asuma was the son of the Hokage, a secret ninja or something and a member of the Sarutobi clan, a clan close to the Uchiha, if I'm right. So, most of the leaf basically are not educated enough to counter an Uchiha.

But if they were commanded smart enough, they could probably use smoke bombs and other vision blocking jutsu and things against them, though other than the Hyuga, most of them would not be able to see through teh smoke too. But the thing about this is, that the enemies are already inside their village, around their houses and people, even in a smoke bomb, they could probably use jutsus to further tension things out.
