I have to agree with Void, Serk. I mean, we literally SEE Itachi bowing before Hiruzen, sometime before or after the massacre, begging that he keep Sasuke safe. Hiruzen lamented being indecisive on the matter and allowing Danzo to carry out his plan, because he believed he could've somehow prevented the massacre. But regardless, he was aware of it every step of the way.
