The appearance of Uchiha Madara and the sudden change in Qin Yi gave Senju Tobirama a sense of foreboding. After a period of calm, the ninja world seemed to be on the verge of another storm of bloodshed.
In the Nation of Qin.
Madara, holding Senju Hashirama with one hand and Qin Yi in front, quickly arrived within the country.
"Collect his cells and hand them over to the research institute. Also, treat his injuries." As they walked through the village streets, Qin Yi quickly issued orders.
Madara nodded silently, offering no resistance.
"By the way, take him to that world. Let him stay there until he joins us." After a pause, Qin Yi added another instruction.
Hearing this, Madara's eyes gleamed with curiosity, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
As he stretched his body, Qin Yi's gaze radiated dominance.
"Next, it's time to bring the Nation of the Water under our control!"
Madara's eyes lit up at this: "Conquering the Nation of the Water— does that mean we can enter the next world?"
Qin Yi was momentarily stunned, then smiled and nodded: "Exactly. As long as the King's Way succeeds in one nation, I will gain access to the New World."
"Hmph! Then let's hurry up!"
With a cold snort, Madara strode forward, dragging Senju Hashirama's body along with him.
A dozen seconds later, Madara and Senju Hashirama disappeared from Qin Yi's sight, having already entered the King's World.
"Madara really doesn't hold back with his best friend, huh?"
Shaking his head, Qin Yi chuckled.
However, he was confident that when Senju Hashirama saw the otherworldly stars, he would be utterly shocked. The image of his dumbfounded expression seemed to already appear before Qin Yi's eyes.
One month later, in the Nation of Qin, a large number of shinobi had gathered.
Qin Lin, Fang Lan, and Yang Yi, now known as the Three Shinobi of the Nation of Qin, had seen their strength skyrocket, each reaching Kage-level power.
"How is the army's assembly progressing?"
Standing in front of the densely packed shinobi army, Qin Yi, clad in armor, exuded authority.
"The Uzumaki Clan, the Crescent Moon Clan, the Waterfall Hidden Village faction, and our soldiers have all assembled! The total number of our Shinobi has reached 9,323!" Qin Lin stepped forward, pounding his right fist against his left chest and reporting in a deep voice.
"Good!"
Nodding, Qin Yi stepped forward. His gaze swept across the crowd, and though his voice wasn't loud, it clearly reached everyone's ears.
"I won't waste words. Those of you who have joined the Nation of Qin surely understand the extraordinary nature of our nation! As long as the nation grows stronger, each of you will become unparalleled experts! And the nation and I will spare no effort in nurturing you, all for the sake of further strength!"
"Next, it is a crucial moment for the Nation of Qin to make a leap forward."
"By conquering the Nation of the Water and winning this war, our nation will undergo a transformative change, and you will have a brighter future."
"In the new world, you will witness endless power!"
These brief words made every shinobi present stand tall and proud.
Among those present were Chunin, Jōnin, and Genin. Shinobi of all levels were there, and though their strengths varied, their thoughts were aligned in this moment. When Qin Yi personally told them that even if their talent limited their growth in this world, there was still hope in the new world!
Compared to any other nation, the Nation of Qin's greatest difference was its overwhelming positivity and an eternally upward-striving mindset.
Then, Qin Yi turned his gaze toward the direction of the Nation of the Water, his expression stern.
"Now, soldiers, it's time to set out!" As his calm words rang out, the captains of each shinobi squad shouted in unison.
"Set out!"
"Conquer the Nation of the Water!"
"Charge!"
Squads of shinobi leaped into action, rushing out from the dense forests and boarding ships to set sail.
Though the Nation of Qin wasn't far from the Nation of the Water, it wasn't close either. Naturally, they wouldn't be foolish enough to run across the water. Doing so would likely exhaust them to the point of drowning before they even arrived.
Soon, Qin Yi and the others also boarded a wooden ship, heading toward the Nation of the Water .
On the ship, Qin Yi stood at the forefront, flanked by the Three Generals, Uzumaki Nagase, the village chief of the Waterfall Hidden Village, Kakuzu, Gandalf, and others.
"Has Madara not come?" Qin Yi quietly asked.
"Madara San said he trusts our strength and that he won't come for such a small operation."
"Oh, he should be with Hashirama right now."
Gandalf replied with a smile.
Qin Yi shook his head. "Then it's up to us."
The expressions of those present were filled with respect. After surveying the crowd, Qin Yi felt satisfied. He knew this group would be his current foundation.
Three hours later, the wooden ships docked one by one. The massive army, dense and imposing, caused immediate panic at the harbor of the Nation of the Water.
"Begin your plans. The primary target is the Hidden Mist Village!"
Qin Yi's gaze was sharp as he spoke indifferently.
The orders were quickly relayed, and soon, figures leaped into action, swiftly disappearing at the coastline.
Standing at the bow of the ship, Qin Yi gazed at the enormous island before him, marveling at its vastness. This expansive land was more than ten times the size of the Nation of Qin, stretching as far as the eye could see.
To annex such a country was truly a monumental task.
However, he couldn't help but feel a sense of impatience!
In the next moment, he leaped from the wooden ship, with everyone closely following behind.
An hour later, Qin Yi and his group spotted the Mist Hidden Village in the distance.
A thick layer of mist enveloped the vast area ahead, visibility reduced to just a few dozen meters, making it difficult to see. Amidst the fog, the sounds of battle echoed loudly.
The soldiers of the Nation of Qin had already charged into the Mist Hidden Village, and the war between the two nations had begun.
"Let's make a big impact!"
With a twisted smile, a layer of purple energy surged around Qin Yi.
The power of the Seven-Tails Chomei, even if this Bijū (Tailed Beast) did not obey his commands, he could still forcibly siphon Chakra from it.
"Boom!"
A tremendous pressure of Chakra gradually rose, and seven long tails began to sway behind Qin Yi. The purple energy formed a Hagoromo (coat) around him, quickly transforming into a fearsome beast.
"Mizukage Sama, allow me to greet you!" A sinister grin appeared as Qin Yi looked up, dark orbs of energy gathering above his head.
Three breaths later, a Bijūdama (Tailed Beast Ball) the size of a face emerged.
"Whoosh!"
With a powerful breath, the Bijūdama shot out from the sky, tracing an arc before crashing heavily into the dense fog.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion resonated, followed by a fierce wind sweeping in all directions. Whether it was naturally formed or man-made, the mist was quickly blown away. The full view of the Mist Hidden Village became clear to Qin Yi and the others.
"This will be our new territory!"
Pointing forward, Qin Yi grinned wickedly, then leaped high into the air, charging into the fray.
