itachi joined akatsuki to protect konoha and to solidify his phony rogue evil character that he created so that sasuke had someone to direct his hate at. itachi assuredly knew that tobi ran the show. he told sasuke a lot about him when they fought. and tobi didn't like itachi around, since he was protecting konoha, but itachi was too powerful for tobi to kill at that time. plus, itachi was useful to an extent for akatsuki, but mostly he was a hindrance on them, unknown to the good guys of course. while he lived, he kept everyone (akatsuki and danzo) in check. when he died, everything went crazy and akatsuki started a full on assault and war proclamation
