Itachi killed his clan under orde of the akatsuki

if he didnt do the job he knew that they would send someone else to kill everyone including sasuke

so he decided to take on the task to save sasuke from being killed

but he couldnt save more than him otherwise it would show that he was trying to save people

but it was easy for him to make it seem like he was just going to torture sasuke but the real goal was to save him

he didnt tell sasuke this because it might cause them to eventually find out

so he decided to make his brother hate him so sasuke wouldnt hunt for the reasons
