Emphases
Itachi leans up against an old crumbling wall in the old Uchiha compound gasping for breath, he shakily reaches his hand up to wipe away the blood that drips down from his eyes. 'Sasuke is stronger than I anticipated, I've already had to use my Mangekyō far more than I would have liked', Itachi thought as he squints his eyes and tries to make out the objects in front of him, 'It won't be much longer until I completely lose my sight if it wasn't for my sensing abilities this battle would have been over much sooner.' He rubs his eyes with the heel of his hand hoping to grind the irritation and pain out of them.
A chill runs down his spine making the hairs on his arm stand on end, raising a kunai he blocks a blow from a chokuto that was aiming to take his head off forcing him back against the wall, the kunai barely keeping the blade from cutting into his throat. "I've listened to what you said Itachi, I've lived my life mastering my hatred for you," his attacker states "I betrayed my friends and home to gain power, and now I can finally avenge our clan."
'Sasuke,' Itachi thinks sadly 'you were supposed to stay loyal to our home, to give our clan back the honor it deserves, how could you have fallen so low?'
"Today is the day that you die Itachi!" Sasuke raves. The sound of crackling fills the air as he starts to gather lightening around his hand. Sasuke thrusts his hand forward shouting "Chidori!" His hand pierces through the center of Itachis chest. Blood slowly starts to pour out of Itachis mouth "Finally our family can rest, now that I've killed you Itachi, to think I used to believe you were unbeatable." Sasuke sneers as he watches his older brother choke on his own blood.
Itachi leans forward and rests his chin on top of Sasukes shoulder. "Sorry my foolish little brother, maybe next time." Itachi whispers, "What?!" Sasuke shakily breathes out, his eyes then widens as Itachis body bursts into a murder of crows and disappears into the sky...Itachi had escaped.
Itachi watches as Sasuke chases after the crows in an attempt to finish him off once and for all. 'It's a good thing I decided to keep a Karasu Bunshin in hiding; luckily, I was able to Kawarimi with it before my wound became fatal,' Itachi thinks glancing down at the charred skin on his chest, 'If Sasuke was thinking clearly he would have been easily see through my illusion, he has become far to arrogant in his skill.'
Just then a presence makes itself known at the edge of his vision. Itachi tenses and turns slightly to face the stranger, standing in the shadows is a figure wearing a hooded black robe covered in red clouds. Covering the strangers face was an orange spiral mask that only contained one eye hole. "I wasn't aware there was any other Akatsuki members in the area besides myself, let alone you Tobi." Itachi spits out harshly.
"My My, no need for such hostility Itachi, you'd almost think we were enemies by the way you're acting." the now named Tobi says.
"I thought I had said I wanted to deal with my brother alone!" Itachi clenches his teeth angrily, speaking grimly.
"Well you see there has been a...slight change of plans," Tobi says happily "It turns out that your brother is very valuable to my plan."
Itachi scowled darkly "If you go near him nobody will ever find you body."
Tobi just tsked at Itachi and placed his hands on his hips "I figured as much, but...that's why you're not going to leave this place alive."
Itachi quickly launches three kunai and shuriken at him hoping to land a lucky blow, but the weapons just pass right through Tobi as if he wasn't even there. "So sad Itachi," Tobi says as he shakes his head "If you were at full strength you might have stood a chance, but as you are now you're not even a warmup." Tobi then whispers "Kamui"
Excruciating pain suddenly filled his senses, laying down on the ground looking up at the sky. Itachi tries to stand up but can't seem to find the strength. His head lulls to the side and he sees the lower half of his body laying a few feet away from him. He starts to feel a bone chilling cold surrounding him and his vision starts to fade to black. A pair of feet enter his view and a hand grabs his chin and turns him to look up at Tobi. "Don't worry Itachi, I'll take good care of your little brother." Tobi says, Itachi weakly glares at Tobi only to notice that Tobis eye was a Mangekyō. 'An Uchiha?' Itachi thinks 'please be careful, my foolish little brother.' Itachis breath soon stills and then...he is no more.
Techniques
Chidori - One Thousand Birds - A-rank : This technique channels a large amount of lightning chakra to the user's hand. The amount of chakra is so great that it becomes visible. The high concentration of electricity produces a sound reminiscent of many birds chirping, hence the name. Once the technique is completed, the user charges forward and thrusts the Chidori into the target. This produces heavy amounts of damage that is usually fatal. This technique is classified as an assassination technique because of the speed at which it is performed, despite the loud noise it produces.
Kamui - Authority of the Gods : Kamui allows the user to transfer anything to another dimension. Once a target is sent to this dimension, it is unable to escape. Each eye is able to transport targets by creating a swirling distortion that opens a void into another dimension. A user of the right eye requires physical contact to absorb a target, while a user of the left can do so from a distance. Kamui also allows the user to teleport to virtually any location they desire by absorbing their own body into the swirling distortion. When using Kamui to teleport, whatever the user is touching will be warped along with them and their chakra becomes untraceable.
Kawarimi – Body Replacement - E-rank : With this technique, users replace their own body with some other object, generally with a block of wood, the moment an attack lands. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. From this, the user can use the lapse in the enemy's attention to attack or flee from the battlefield.
Karasu Bunshin – Crow Clone - C-rank : A technique that produces a clone by projecting one's own chakra towards dozens of "crows". The dozens of crows come together to form the body of a clone. When the chakra projected by the user is severed, the crows disperse, though the user is still able to continue to speak through it.
