Wordlessly, Itachi moved to untie the bound man. He left him in the chair, but removed the bindings completely and tucked them away so that there would be no evidence that the officer had ever been tied up in the first place. The more they thought had happened to him, the more they would press him to reveal.
Not that there should be anything left in the man's memory about his capture, but in the very small off-chance that they had someone among them who could pull those memories out again, he wanted them to have as little reason to try as possible.
Sasuke might have almost started to argue with him, but he hadn't. Itachi knew what it was like to work alone and to be used to giving out the orders. It pleased him that, despite that, his brother had decided to listen to him anyway. He understood his reasoning enough to allow them to proceed as he suggested, and that was all he could ask for.
He just needed to make sure he didn't boss the other around too often.
Once finished, he was quick to follow Sasuke toward their exit. He would use another genjutsu if necessary, but they would likely be able to sneak away undetected without it.
