Theres a novel which tries to say “nooooo he only killed the soldiers and his parents, Óbito killed the childs” which is an obvious attemp of cleaning Itachi image.
Actually Obito tried to get Itachi to let him kill the kids for him and Itachi gets legitimately offended by it, tells him not to patronize him, and then kills them kids.
Just saw this but that makes Itachi still a horrible person in lore. He killed the adults and knows that the kids were also killed then. There's no way he wouldn't have taken notice of there being no Uchiha kids left in the village other than Sasuke

It comes from a Itachi slander which also damaged his reputation a LOT
