Itachi and Tobi both said to Sasuke that they worked together in the Uchiha Massacre. Itachi agreed to help Tobi get his revenge on the clan just as long as Tobi didnt attack Konoha or Sasuke. I know that Itachi put Amaterasu in Sasuke's eye to prevent a meeting between Tobi and Sasuke, but could Itachi have done more. Furthermore, Itachi knew Tobi was in Akatsuki so he had ample opportunity to kill him for the good of Sasuke and Konoha. Like wise, Tobi must have known Itachi was a spy because of the way he cared for the leaf so why didn't Tobi try to kill Itachi?

Itachi could not kill him and tobi prolly knew about hes disease and just waited, and he wanted to sasuke to do the dirty work for him.

itachi thought he was Madara. Maybe due to the hype, he thought it would be impossible to take him on...?

he needed him to slaughter the uchiha which wouldn't of made any sense as obtio liked the uchiha which all still confusing but we should get a flash back today or next week as in why tobi did what he did

Itachi was scared. And just for the record, this is the official VIZ translation of what Tobi actually said about Itachi & Konoha:

You must be registered for see images


Tobi didn't refrain from attacking Konoha out of fear...it was merely to uphold his side of their 'pact'.

everyone on here is saying the same thing, so disappointing.
itachi was a smart Shinobi and he was waiting for the right opportunity and he was still gathering information on Tobi. Tobi himself stated Itachi did not know all about Tobi. So it is possible that he died before he had a plan to deal with Tobi

Because he was weak compared to Tobi. If he tried to fight, he would be dead and would not have been able to face Sasuke to give him MS or EMS

I hate ppl like u if u read the manga propley u would have understood that him and tobi were at a stalemate nobody wanted to make the first move and they had an agreement with each other it was stay away from the leaf and I'll do ur dirty work

Itachi can't win mainly because he can't hit Tobi. Tobi>Itachi.
