Madara or Tobi had controlled the Nine Tails to attack Konoha during Naruto's
birth. But there were other Uchihas in the village such as Itachi's father.
So, the village could have made use of them to defend the Nine Tails by
controlling it using their sharingan. Why didn't they do that?

Another question: Why were the three sannin not seen during the Nine Tails
attack?

Why wasn't a Uchiha asked to control the Nine Tails during its attack?


As for the Uchiha, the nine tails was already being controlled by Tobi at the
time, so I doubt anyone would be able to control him on top of that.

Not to mention, the Uchiha weren't exactly trusted at the time, following the
Second Hokage's rule.

As for the three sannin, it wasn't explained anywhere, but it isn't hard to
imagine them being at a remote mission and out of the village.

Why no other Uchiha in Konoha was asked to take control of the Nine Tailed
beast? - To control the nine tailed beast you need to be a shinobi of very
high caliber. Being an Uchiha is just not enough to be able to control the
nine tailed beast. Tobi had Hashirama's cells (in the form of Zetsu) infused
in him that allowed him larger chakra and better control of the Nine Tails.

Where were the three sanins? - it has not been mentioned anywhere in the plot
where they were, so all we can do is guess about their whereabouts. If they
were in the village they would have surely come for help, and since they were
absent from the battle, we can only guess that they were out of the village on
some mission.

An Uchiha needs to have awakened the Mangekyu Sharingan in order to control
the Kyuubi and Madara and Tobi were the only two Uchihas who were able to
achieve this followed by Itachi, Kakashi and Sasuke.

About the three Sanin, Jiraya was most probably training with Nagato and
Konan, Orochimaru had defected from the village and Tsunade had left the
village because she was unable to bear the trauma that came with death of her
brother and lover.

TLDR: The Uchiha Clan were distrusted by the village leadership and were
ordered to not engage the Nine-Tails.

* * *

As per [Itachi Shinden](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Itachi_Shinden), the
Uchiha Clan (which was the Konoha police force during the Nine-Tails' attack)
were ordered by the village leadership ([Konoha
Council](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Konoha_Council)) to protect the
civilians in the village and not engage the Nine-Tails.

Uchiha Clan members believe that this was because they are distrusted by the
village leadership. They also feel that they are being suspected to be what
actually caused the Nine-Tails incident.

Indeed, after the Nine-Tails' attack, the Konoha Police headquarters (which
sustained heavy damage) and the Uchiha Clan houses were ordered moved to the
outskirts of the village, too far from the village center, despite Fugaku
Uchiha's protest. (Fugaku is the head of the Uchiha Clan, and Itachi and
Sasuke's father.) The location also can be easily spied upon from several
vantage points as noticed by Fugaku, adding to feelings of distrust between
the Uchiha Clan and the Konoha Council, culminating at the Uchiha Clan
massacre.

Another reason might be that: Not all Uchiha's are as powerful as you think.
And not all of them are lucky enough to Awaken the mangekyou. They were a
proud clan but not all their members were as strong as Madara or Itachi. Those
2 were like prodigies in their own ways.

Also, I doubt anyone at that time knew an Uchiha could control the Kyuubi. It
was probably only Minato and Kushina that knew about the masked man and his
Sharingan. No one else saw him and lived so it makes sense that their minds
didn't think about it. In madara's case, It was probably a classified
information that he fought by controlling the 9 tails. It makes sense that the
higher ups would classify that type of information as secret cause they
wouldn't want other Uchihas to go researching into how to control the Kyuubi.

As for the 3 Sanin, It makes sense to believe that they were on a mission,
probably that timeline could fit into when Jiraiya was training nagato and his
crew (Yahiko and Konan, This is just a vague guess btw).

Only an Uchiha with the mangekyou sharingancan control the nine tails. Obito
had obtained it after Rins death plus he had Hashirama cells to fall back on.
The leaf village was not aware of fugaku having the mangekyou sharingan or
else they would have feared him even more plus his people would have pressured
him to attack the village.

To answer your question the leaf village feared that the Uchiha would done how
gain control of the nine tails so that’s why three weren’t called to assist
during the attack. It was stated by the Uchiha that they suspected this. The
Sannin were always away on missions doing their own thing. They weren’t such a
great asset to the village only Tsunade after becoming hokage.

In conclusion the Uchiha clan were always being discriminated against and
treated like trash but then the leaf is surprised when they retaliate. The
third hokage was the worse leader Kohona ever had. Yes naruto always forgave
sasuke for his treachery but at the end sasuke changed. Danzō never did and he
let Danzō get away with everything. He even ordered a 13 year old kid (Itachi)
to kill his entire clan including his parents. He just used Danzō as the
darkness he could never represent as him self.

Fugaku uchiha had the mangekyõ sharingan at the time of the attack therefore
he could've easily controlled the tailed beast. But he was ordered to stand
down.

And as for the three sannin. Orochimaru was a rogue ninja at the time. Jiraiya
was out doing research and hadn't heard about the attack. TSunade had quit
being a shinobi.
