Akainu's Great Eruption came biting down like two destructive molten giants, carrying the force to burn everything to ash!
The air warped under the extreme heat and let out a piercing shriek.
"Shisui!" Itachi shouted.

The spiraling sword in its hand suddenly accelerated, emitting a harsh hum.
Emerald Chakra gathered around the blade, forming a visibly sharp vortex!

The spiraling sword collided head-on with the magma pillar!
