[To know those thoughts would be to make an enemy of Itachi. He is not powerless, but he is diminished. Being sealed, having something he went so far to get stripped away so easily--no, it will never sit well with him. Especially when there are others here who have such abilities that are not as bound as his own.
Itachi will sacrifice his eyes--and more--many times over if it will keep him in a position to do what needs to be done.]
We are not the strong ones here. You are chained and thus have no access to any of your skills. Even your physical strength is halved.
My brother is also here. [If this Kisame knew of his manner of death, then he would know the importance of that. Itachi is skeptical about Sasuke's lack of response so far. There is no way he would hear Itachi's and not interject.]
