* ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin'': At the end of the story, after [[BigBad Madara Uchiha]] is finally defeated by the Konoha 15 (with Naruto delivering the final blow [[OffWithHisHead by beheading him]]), Sasuke decides to burn his corpse with [[{{Hellfire}} Amaterasu]]. Justified because the guy had previously come back from the dead using Izanagi when his corpse was left intact and buried, so he's making sure he'll stay dead for good this time.
