So in one of the Naruto shippuden episodes.. Just after Sasuke beets Itachi... Tobi brings Sasuke to a cave to tell him the truth about Itachi and the Uchiha massacre.

During that time tobi partly takes off his mask revealing one of his eyes... As soon as sasuke sees that eye, his left eye turns into Itachi's MS and tobi gets burned by ameterasu..

Now, after that event tobi returns after somehow extinguishing the flame, and tells sasuke that Itachi actually implanted his ameterasu powers into sasuke so that whenever he saw that eye of tobi's it would activate the ameterasu on tobi..

But if what tobi says is true, then does that mean that Itachi knew the true identity of tobi?!?! Cuz atm, tobi seems to be Obito, but during that event in the cave tobi called himself madara...

So if it really was obito in the cave with sasuke, does that mean that Itachi actually wanted the ameterasu to activate when ever sasuke saw Obito's eye instead of madara's eye?!?! And does that mean itachi actually knew who tobi was ?!

Link to video of cave scene:

Hope the point im trying to make gets across to you all :p

Itachi was just another of Tobi's pawns. He thought he was madara the whole time.

I dont think so.. If he knew about Tobi.. He would have definitely told about it to someone.. He thought him to be madara.

Mostly yes considering he knew a lot than others..
But its also possible he knew that Tobi had sharingan but not his identity, hence aimed Tobi's sharingan with amaterasu rather than his whole body..

He didn't. He has just seen Tobi's Sharingan before.

But if he thought it was madara, and wanted the ameterasu to activate only when sasuke saw madara's eye, why would the ameterasu activate back in the cave... Since tobi is obito, shouldn't the ameterasu NOT activate as its not madara's eye but obito's eye that sasuke's looking at?!

Uuuuuh no I don't think so. Itachi called "Tobi" Madara the whole way through. Whether it was Obito's or Madara's Sharingan it didn't matter, Itachi implanted Amaterasu in Sasuke so that whenever Sasuke that particular Sharingan Amaterasu would activate.

Itachi never saw madara he saw tobi back then.

Then who was the long haired guy behind the mask that was helping Itachi out with the Uchiha massacre?

We don't know, and it's likely we won't for several chapters. Itachi probably assumed it was the same man behind the mask.

Itachi seems to be able to manipulate MS... Remember? He set Amaterasu on Tobi and KA on Sasuke but KA never got the chance to hit Sasuke....
