[That gets the first unsevere look out of him in this conversation.]
We could've used that information months ago, when he was here before. [He takes a spot to lean against a tree.] If he came here once, he can come back again. Anything you have to say is appreciated.
[He doesn't say that Itachi has already told him some things. Not a lot, but with Naruto gone, Shikamaru is the only person who knows he was a double agent in a sense. It's troublesome, but he's promised not to let on more about how things really are until Itachi reveals himself on his own terms. Explaining why he knows those things would therefore be a pain.]
