Summary
With Orochimaru at last removed from the equation, Sasuke finds himself with nothing left to throw at his brother. Itachi comes toward him, apparently intent on taking his eyes, and Sasuke's attempts to hold him off amount to nothing.
Key Events
The closer Itachi draws, the more his Susanoo fades, and he begins to cough up blood. Even so, he manages to back Sasuke into a corner. Reaching toward his brother's eyes, he murmurs a few words, yet all he does is tap Sasuke's forehead before his body gives out and he collapses.
