[insert text: Sasuke's eye... gouged out!!]
Sasuke: GUAAAAAAAHHH!! // Ngh...!!

Itachi: As I told you... / You who have not the Mangekyou can never hope to match me.
Zetsu: !
Sasuke: Ngh... aaaghhh... // *pant* // *pant* // *pant*

Sasuke: *pant* // *pant*

[no text just genjutsu]

11
Sasuke: *pant*

12
Sasuke: *pant* // *pant* // Ugh... // *pant* // *pant*

13
Zetsu: Well, that was surprisingly quick... Itachi's won. // --WHY'S THAT?-- // He got him with a "Tsukuyomi". // He won't be moving any more... Itachi can do what he likes with him. // ! // Huh?

14
Itachi: You... My Tsukuyomi... you...
Sasuke: *pant* // *pant*
Zetsu: What's this? // Why's Sasuke not collapsing even though he took a Tsukuyomi? // --NO... HE DID NOT TAKE IT-- // --HE BROKE IT. THE TSUKUYOMI--

15
Zetsu: Whaaaaat?! // But there's no way a guy with nothing but an ordinary Sharingan could overpower the Mangekyou, right?! // --SHARINGAN ARE MERELY ANOTHER SHINOBI WEAPON-- / --THE STRENGTH OF A WEAPON DEPENDS UPON THE STRENGTH OF THE ONE USING IT-- // --EVEN IF ONE POSSESSES A SHURIKEN, IT MAY BE DEFEATED BY A PEBBLE THROWN BY A TRUE GENIUS-- // --A DIFFERENCE IN POWER IS ALL THAT IS NECESSARY... THIS SIMPLY MEANS THAT SASUKE'S TALENTS HAVE EXCEEDED ITACHI'S EXPECTATIONS--
Sasuke: I thought I told you... you can use those eyes all you like... // ...but my hatred will make my "phantom goal" a reality.
Itachi: Hah... // Illusion becoming reality...

16
Itachi: I'll take that assertion of yours... and send it right back at you.
Sasuke: .........
Itachi: In my Tsukuyomi just now... / ...you saw the illusion of your eye being taken, did you not...? // Now, I shall make that a reality.

17
Zetsu: ! / The atmosphere around Itachi has changed... // --LOOKS LIKE HE'S GETTING SERIOUS... AT THIS RATE-- // --WE MAY GET TO SEE HIS "AMATERASU"-- // What?! "Amaterasu"?! // Ahh, now that really would be something! We made the right choice coming to see this fight!!
[side text: "Tsukuyomi" defeated... but those eyes possess another doujutsu: "Amaterasu"! What is this ultimate technique that interests even his fellow Akatsuki?!]
