Quick recap

Sasuke finally finds Itachi at the Uchiha hideout, and the brothers fight the battle he has waited his whole life for: Sharingan against Sharingan, Chidori against fire, all the way up to Itachi's Susanoo. At the peak, Orochimaru bursts out of Sasuke and is sealed by Itachi's sword. Out of strength, Itachi reaches his brother, taps his forehead with two fingers, and collapses dead. Sasuke wakes up in Tobi's hands, and Tobi tells another version of the clan massacre: Itachi acted on Konoha's orders and protected Sasuke to the end. Sasuke awakens the Mangekyō, renames his team Taka, and sets his sights on Konoha. Finally, Taka takes on Killer Bee, host of the Eight-Tails, and Sasuke brings him down with Amaterasu.
