And you just treat it like Itachi was telling the truth.
It was obvious he just wanted Sasuke to make the connection that Madara had been there. Especially in the brief panel where Itachi smiles after Sasuke says he couldn't have done it alone. Itachi wanted him to figure it out, at least partially.

If Itachi wanted to explain, he could've did it then and there... Sasuke would've believed him. But instead, he responds with a shuriken grazing Sasuke's shoulder... yup, he sure is a good guy.

Sasuke was an 8-year-old.
How about the Hokage, ANBU, and the rest of the Konoha authorities?
