"DIE!!"
Hitachi yelled, his voice tearing through the fabric of the isolated biome. He appeared instantaneously in front of Sasuke, who was staring at the inextinguishable black flames on his right hand in surprise.
BOOOOM!!!
Hitachi's legendary sword struck his neck, flawlessly cutting it off. The sheer force of the decapitation sent a shockwave that carved a deep trench into the earth behind the Shinobi.
"I... I did it." Hitachi muttered, his chest heaving as he stared at the severed head resting on the ground. But his momentary triumph evaporated when the head, and the body attached to it, shattered into a cloud of white smoke.
"What?" He was stunned. His newly evolved white-ringed Celestial Eyes darted frantically, trying to track the sudden displacement of energy.
BAM!!
Cold steel bit through flesh and bone. A straight sword drove into his back from behind, the blood-soaked blade bursting out from his chest.
