Two who could wipe out major sources of resistance and simply beat the rest into submission. LoneNinja wrote: Anbu are not just some mindless drones. Just because the Hokage is killed doesn't mean the entire village falls in line. Or if the Hokage is deemed corrupted, they're written off (example: Danzo). 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. Every person who would stop fighting would be one less they'd have to defeat. There's also little reason to believe that people would resist the Uchiha to the last breath, because there's little reason to believe everyone would be willing to let everyone they know be killed. If the Uchiha struck first, they could take out the primary targets (hokage and his aides). In the confusion, they take over major institutions. As the Police, they have authority, and could easily grab key locations (e.g. the outside wall).

This would result in an occupation scenario, likely with people fighting back in the underground. The Village would be hard to hold on to, but the Uchiha could reasonably succeed at that too.

'''And then, this news reaches Orochimaru, he invades with the Sand-Sound alliance and Konoha is destroyed. '''
