He didn't. he could've thwarted Obito's entire plan by sealing a Biju with his Totsuka blade and then offing himself. I'm sure that considering his Hokage Mentality, he would've put the safety of the world over his little brother obsession?

Not to be rude, but Itachi himself said that Sasuke was more important to him than anything else in the world, even lying to him and himself to not involve Sasuke in his felonies.
