If the order was from the Hokage to kill off the Uchiha clan wouldn't the 3rd have known about Madara or that he assisted him? He must've known that as talented as Itachi was, he couldn't have killed off the entire clan himself. That's why it doesn't add up for me. Something happened we all know that, but I don't think it's the way it seems. I might be way off here, but I think there's a lot more to the story than this. There has to be. The only ones that know are the 3rd, Danzo, Madara, and Itachi? Come on...I don't buy that.
Dude, Madara specifically stated that the third was the only one who opposed the plan. The others did it without his permission.
