No. I mean Itachi. The guy who wiped his clan out when Danzo told him he knew his clan didn't have a chance of winning and gave him an ultimatum. Join his clan's side and be wiped out with them, or wipe them out himself and protect his little brother. He chose the latter.

Anbu are not just some mindless drones. Just because the Hokage is killed doesn't mean the entire village falls in line. Orochimaru killed Hiruzen, yet resistance was still there. No one just said. "Oh, our Hokage's dead, we lost. Let's just comply now." No. The village kept on fighting, it'd be no different against the Uchiha.

Actually it isn't. The allied force was made of only 5 villages and some samurai. It was stated to be 80,000 deep. Konoha has a military force of 3/5 with only Kumogakure and Iwagakure being 4. Thus, that puts their forces at around 14 thousand. Simple math. That also doesn't include young Shinobi who sat out in the war and citizens.
