Itachi didn’t get this far without learning how to tell when he was being followed. This one was just a smidge less obvious, but he caught on in time, nonetheless.
He doesn’t dispel the genjutsu quite yet, wanting to collect information, first.
This was one of Sasuke’s new recruits, was it not…?
“Y’can’t even kill that guy by just tryna stab him, y’know? But I sure tried. ‘m not some half-baked lil kid as’d just roll over and let him win without a fight. Didn’t make much difference in the long run, though.”
He understand where the defense is coming from. Itachi understands. Prisoners weren’t called that because they went willingly. He doesn’t fault Suigetsu for wanting to clear the air.
“I’m well aware of his strengths. And his weaknesses.”
“…Uh. Yeah. You got it right. Turns out a Sannin with a buncha lackeys, more’n one chakra nature, jutsu people’ve never even heard of, an’ ‘nough info t’predict where you’ll be’s… a bad enemy to face.”
“I’m sorry those are the circumstances under which you were captured.” Him and many others, as well. Orochimaru’s greed knew no bounds.
