Yes, but my point is that Itachi probably doesnt have a very high opinion of Kisame and was really just preparing to kill him if he had too
¨Youre just a thug lost in the mist¨
So it´s a bit sad, because Kisame probably viewed him as his only friend.
I'm taking it from a meta perspective of, Kishimoto really respects Kisame and is making the audience recognize this.
I def wish we got more from Itachi than "So Kisame's dead, eh?". But at the same time, Itachi pre-death was an ego maniac. He thought he could mind control Sasuke into being good, not only that it'd work but it was the best option for Sasuke. So I kinda get it, Itachi's a little preoccupied and fucked in the head.
