As if. I'd like to think Itachi isn't an idiot and knew what he was doing. Firstly, I doubt the Anbu would comply. Secondly, I doubt they would be sufficient enough to wipe out over about 14 thousand Shinobi in a single night. You mean Shisui?....if the anbu would comply? nah anbu;s are like soldiers, they take any order given to them, Itachi is a great example, he cleared his clan and he was just following a mission and was kinda being rational as well. Now as hokage he can easily make up some excuse and pass it to the anbu maybe saying something like the Nara clan are planning to overthrow the village and they are partnered with so and so clans. 14,000? that seems too much, those clans seemed rather small in numbers..take the Hyuga as a great example, even during Konoha crush alot of members weren't shown for the clans.The villagers would most likely claim those numbers.
