[Itachi has barely learned to control the ability he was given, meaning there's not much he can do with it. Because of this, the backfire isn't as strong, but he's still sticking to the shadows to avoid casting one of his own. Like Sasuke, he's also been sticking to the Welcome House, meaning that it's not hard to run across the other ninja in the hall.
He's sure to announce his presence, so that he doesn't startle the other. Startling Sasuke shouldn't be an easy task, but if he's distracted by current complications things might be different.]
