The proof is that Obito explicitly stated that had Itachi known his secrets he would've been dead. Should be enough proof. And if movies aren't canon, then wouldn't Naruto: The Last not be canon either? But it is. There is at least some proof of Obito being scared of Itachi. There is none vice-versa. The only thing I can think of is Itachi and Kisame running away from Jiraiya when he showed up. And Jiraiya considered Tobi very powerful as he was the only person capable of summoning Kurama. But I'm not sure whether we can count Itachi and Kisame running away..
