Yeah as I was reading along I was getting ready to be all like, "LOL you hypocritface, look who's talking," but then Kishi caught me. Oooohhhh he's so tricksy, that man. And I wouldn't worry too much about Naruto. Remember that we are running on Shounen Time and war and sappy reunions wait for no man. Prolly the next time he sees Sasuke he'll just throw Itachi's words at him verbatim and that's about it for "thinking it through".
This is going to be hard for me to articulate (AS USUAL) but something tells me that Itachi has always been leery of dealing with Madara directly. All his actions thus far have been somewhat oblique, like implanting Amaterasu in Sasuke's Sharingan and stuff, these acts seem to point to an unwillingness to enter direct confrontations. Now whether this is due to post-breakup awkwardness or him feeling that he's not the kind of person who'd do well facing Madara... maybe he thinks that Naruto would be more suited to the job. I wonder about that though, because Naruto is really naive and has been burned mindfucked by Madara before. Good thing Bee is there, I'm sure he's not going to put up with any bullshit.
I'm trying reeeaaaally hard to make a dirty joke out of your crowburger comment but I got nuttin' :( These talks of feelings, they make me wonder what kind of personality Shisui had. I might be open to the idea of a happy funtimes guyfriend again, opposed to it as I was previously.
