Sasori and Yugao hid in Fugaku's house, watching Itachi's final descent into madness.
Before Itachi reached each house, Candy and Fish Ball would arrive ahead of him and set the scene with Spore Clones.
So all those Itachi killed were clones. The Uchiha people had all been placed under an Illusion Technique's control.
