...You've told me he attacked you, that he might do it again, that he had to be taken to the hospital after your 'altercation', and that he's living in an abandoned building or outdoors, to the best of your knowledge.
I understand that you want others to stay out of this -- that you believe your brother [ there is the smallest stress there; he's family, isn't he? doesn't that usually mean something? ] won't hurt anyone else as long as he isn't interfered with. But you also don't want to supervise him yourself, and you don't want to put him on the watch list.

Do you -- think he's justified, in attacking you?
[ not asking for the story. not prying. he just wants to know if Itachi is really okay with Sasuke trying to kill him again, and what Itachi wants to do about this if he isn't. ]
