Summary
It technically wasn't a violation of orders for Itachi to help foster Naruto's fuuinjutsu talent.
Hiruzen had only ordered away those who had a close relationship with Minato and Kushina. It just happened to be that practically anyone who could do anything about Naruto's treatment was on that list. It came with the territory of one being their leader and another being one of the friendliest people to ever exist in Konoha.
Technically, Itachi wasn't close to them while they were alive. He wasn't even in the academy yet when they died.
Genma just wished it didn't make it harder to keep Naruto out of Danzo's grubby little hands.

In another world, Itachi only has Sasuke left to lose.
In this world, he found a somewhat-healthy coping mechanism and another precious person, even if it might be treason.
