I'm not sure Kisame would care much either way XD sasuke's always been Itachi's target/prey/concern/toy, so the particulars of his situation might not be especially fascinating. Then again seeing as it might influence the kyuubi thing which is very mich kisame and akatsuki's business, itachi might end up sharing the info anyway. I haven't decided yet.
Orochimaru is dead in teamwork actually. He died a lot earlier than his canon counterpart, too, and I even gave him a much better last fight than canon bothered to XD;;
Leaving Akatsuki and teaming up with his brother for the kid would be pretty IC if this was canon!Itachi (and also very full of "yay! uncle itachi!!" potential XD X3), but you've got to keep in mind that Teamwork was started several years ago and when I planned the fics Itachi's motive was still assumed to be "to test out my own power", "because i felt like it" and/or "because the uchihas were disgusting me with taking their sharingan for granted and not doing jack shit with it, so sasuke, you better work your ass off because I have Expectations". A "he secretly loevs his brother!!" motive was pretty much seen as mary-sue fantasy, unless it was twisted into creepy obsession. I have no idea how much my Itachi will differ from this, seeing as most of his scenes in the plot weren't more than vague ideas when the reveal came out and even now there's still lots of leeway, but I'm not going to graft recent canon into the fic where it doesn't fit, either. I'll see what happens.
As for the icon... It was made by a friend for me especially, but so many people have borrowed it that I've given up trying to tell them no. At this point telling one person not to use it would be like locking the barn after the horses were long gone. It dates from a few years ago anyway... eh.
