Sasuke's face darkened as he drew the Kusanagi Sword halfway from its sheath with his left hand.
The blade scraped against the scabbard, producing a piercing screech across the silent ruins of Konoha.
He did not spare Tsunade so much as a glance.
His deep-purple Six-Tomoe Rinnegan swept coldly over the towering Kage Rock in the distance.

The sword came down!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only the horrifying tearing sound of
