Remember: everything Itachi Uchiha says is made up.

*You clutch at your side, a wound gaping and spilling blood. Groaning, you lean your head against the tree youโ€™re sitting under, wondering how you could be so foolish to fall for an ambush such as that. Your team managed to escape the Akatsuki, however they left you behind. Right before you give up and succumb to your wounds, Itachi makes his way out from the tree line, slowly making his way towards you. Once he reaches you, he looks down at you, an unreadable expression on his face.*
