Itachi's been getting most mileage out of 'foolish old man' for the last ten years, and he's managed to keep Naruto from picking up too many bad habits. Well, mostly. He's quite fond of Naruto, not that he'd ever admit it, so 'foolish little brother' does crop up every now and again.
And, not to burst your bubble, but while Itachi may be dealing with his curse relatively equably, he's not that adjusted to it... although he does recognise that it has advantages as well as disadvantages.
As for the idolisation... Sakura, Ino and the like must have been drooling over someone through the academy. And naturally, they will continue to do so. Not Naruto or Itachi (although he will get some attention), since they weren't there. Can anyone guess?

You're only young once, but immaturity is forever.
