When reanimated Itachi fought against Naruto, he asked him what happened to
Sasuke. Naruto proceeded to tell him about what Obito (at the time, Madara)
said, and tells him the convince Sasuke to join the Akatsuki while taking
revenge on Konoha for betraying his brother.

Itachi then looks surprised and says "Damn Madara, he knew about my secret
mission after all".

However, given the fact that Itachi asked for his help in massacring the
Uchiha, why is he so surprised? After all, he told him enough about it.

Given the fact that Itachi asked Obito to help him eliminate the Uchiha, why was he surprised when he knew about the secret mission?


Maybe in the anime they made Itachi act surprised to not give away the plot.
Or maybe he could be referring to another secret mission, in which it was
Itachi's plan to help lead Sasuke to the right path, and yet Obito figured
this out and used the darkness in Sasuke's heart to control him.

Itachi may have asked Madara's help but it was never explicitly said that he
revealed the true reason behind his actions.

> Itachi may have lied to Madara like he did to Sasuke that he massacred all
> uchiha to test his powers.

Itachi may be thinking that Madara was convinced with his reasoning, while
Madara knew the true reason that he was doing all this by leaf village's
orders.
