Of course it can't be proven he lied lol. But the point is, there's no proof he's telling the truth either. And he's already been shown to just casually lie while his mask was on.

I'm just wondering why, in a series filled with flashbacks, and filler, not one episode or chapter decided to depict this feat. And there was an entire filler arc dedicated to Itachi's story. Wasn't exactly referring to that, the author only mentioned this once, and the only mention would be a lie? how would the readers know what really happened. The scan from shounen jump includes the novels as part of the timeline for Itachi's story and not the anime, seeing as how the novel has that Itachi did kill her then that means Obito didn't lie. Of course you guys are against the novel so that explains your belief, but the evidence are more against you guys...so...
