As for what exactly Uchiha Madara's resurrection was all about, nearly all the true upper echelon of the Konoha Hokage lineage knew perfectly well. Shimura Danzō naturally knew as well.
But knowing it perfectly well did not stop Shimura Danzō from using it to persecute the Uchiha. The moment he said those words, Uchiha Kin's expression changed.
This was the most serious malicious attack since Konoha Village's founding. If the Uchiha were made to take the blame for it, they would have to be skinned alive three times over.
"Regarding Uchiha Madara, we Uchiha absolutely knew nothing, nor did we participate in any way."
"Besides, the Uchiha Clan and Uchiha Madara had already parted ways long ago. Given Uchiha Madara's personality, he might hate the Uchiha Clan even more than Konoha Village.
