Future Rudeus about Hitogami: "Even now, up to this moment, he hasn't told a lie. No lie that I can perceive. Each and every thing has been for the sake of this one time, so that the suspicious you would obey him without hesitating at this moment!" - WN ch154

Although this isn't a certain thing, by mentioning this the author as good as guaranteed that everything Hitogami said up 'til now is true, in the technical sense anyway. 'He always tells the truth no matter how much he bends it', is what I think the author is going for.

Also, knowing Hitogami, he didn't really think he could convince Rudues not to go to Begaritto in the first place. He knew Rudeus enough to know that he most likely wouldn't be able to ignore a family member in danger. Hitogami said it himself that he cannot change Rudeus' future too much because his Fate is too strong. So as the future Rudeus said, Hitogami only gave him that 'advice' so that later he can tell Rudeus 'I told you so', making him more trusting and vulnerable to his ultimate plan, The Rat!
