[He knew no reply was needed for the official missive, so he set it aside, relieved in some ways that his family was behind him, officially. Still, Itachi's letter drew a faint smile.]
Itachi,
Are you honestly surprised? They've been trying to pin you to home long enough to get you trained to lead for a while now. And unfortunately for you Sasuke is leaving on an extended mission concerning trade in a couple days so you'll have to wait until he's back otherwise I'll have clan elders at my door. As for misinformation... I don't actually believe that you know. People don't always trust people, war just meant people were killed off before anyone realized that they were holding out.
Morbid, I know. And... thank you Itachi, I know you have the village first in your heart. If there's anything you can do I'll let you know.
