Kurogane was sent flying, tearing a long trench through the ground as he spun through the air. The sight was nothing short of dramatic.

He finally came to a stop after crashing into a large tree more than twenty meters away. The power of the Rasengan was evident, even to Madara!

Especially when wielded by someone skilled in the Shunshin No Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique), it unleashed devastating force. This combination was no longer a simple matter of one plus one equaling two.

Qin Yi developed the Rasengan and the Shunshin No Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique) with this exact scenario in mind. His ultra-high-speed Shunshin No Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique) allowed him to close the distance instantly and unleash the devastating, hand-seal-less Rasengan, delivering a swift and potentially fatal blow.

In the original story, the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, had employed a similar approach. His Flying Thunder God Technique, combined with the Rasengan, made him nearly invincible.

Of course, Qin Yi's "Slash Instant" technique, derived from the Shunshin No Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique), was still far from the level of the Flying Thunder God. 

However, by integrating Scorch Release and mitigating some of the drawbacks of conventional instant movement, he had created a new technique capable of ultra-high-speed movement with explosive power over short distances, rivaling the Flying Thunder God.

The only limitation was its inability to perform long-distance teleportation or target specific coordinates or enemies for teleportation.

But that was not a concern. With Qin Yi's talent, he would eventually achieve these feats through further research and access to relevant information.

"Sand Shinobi have infiltrated deep into the Forest of Konoha undetected."

"What secrets are you hiding?"

Qin Yi approached slowly, looking down at Kurogane, who was half-leaning against a tree trunk, completely paralyzed. His voice was low and dangerous.

"Cough, cough."

Kurogane coughed violently, spitting out blood. A strange smile appeared on his usually expressionless face.

"At first, I couldn't understand how we managed to evade the patrols of so many Konoha Shinobi."

"But now, I understand."

"All I can say is, you've offended someone powerful. Even if you survive this assassination attempt, death will be your inevitable fate!"

Qin Yi's gaze turned icy. Without further hesitation, he activated the Plunder Skill.

Kurogane's soul, on the verge of dissipating, was extracted. Qin Yi quickly scanned it.

Chakra surged into his body, rapidly replenishing and increasing his reserves. Next came Kurogane's puppet techniques and the Earth Release ninjutsu he had mastered.

After a dozen breaths, Qin Yi's head began to ache, and he halted the plunder. He turned and walked away.

Kurogane, half-leaning in the tree hollow, stared straight ahead as the light in his eyes slowly faded. Even in death, he did not close his eyes.

His gaze seemed to linger on the Land of Wind as if lost in a distant memory.

The transition from two-dimensional to three-dimensional combat lacked passionate displays of emotion, but it was more calculated, bloodthirsty, and cruel.

Life and death were intertwined, a razor-thin line separating the two.

The sound of footsteps echoed as a figure appeared before Kurogane. After a brief glance, the figure vanished in a flash.

"This kid's mastery of ninjutsu is impressive, and his talent for developing new techniques is extraordinary. To have created so many techniques in such a short time is truly remarkable!"

"He's a true monster!"

The red-eyed man following Qin Yi was deeply shocked. In fact, he believed that if this kid continued to grow, he could eventually rival himself and Senju Hashirama.

Yes, the red-eyed man was Uchiha Madara. After encountering the Sand Shinobi squad, he had followed them.

As he observed, his amazement at Qin Yi grew, along with his curiosity.

What would become of a monster of unknown origin, possibly from another world, with such exceptional talent? And what exactly were this kid's intentions?

Suddenly, Uchiha Madara found himself grappling with these perplexing questions.

After rejoining the Three Generals, Qin Yi was in high spirits. The battle had been brief— less than half an hour— but his gains were significant.

Firstly, he had confirmed the combat prowess of his generals and soldiers. With focused chakra training and ninjutsu mastery, they could become a force to be reckoned with, rivaling a small hidden village.

This laid the foundation for nation-building. All he needed was to gather a group of refugees, and establish a hidden village, and the framework of the country would be in place.

Secondly, his own strength had increased significantly. Though his chakra reserves were still at the Chunin level and his ninjutsu often drained his chakra quickly, his explosive combat power could eliminate even Jōnin.

"Especially the development of the Slash Instant Technique, which maximizes the Rasengan's potential." Qin Yi mused.

Combined with Scorch Release and his other developed techniques, he now possessed a formidable set of combat abilities.

"However, without enhanced perception, I cannot see through enemy clones or track their movements effectively. This is a clear weakness."

"My chakra reserves are also a significant limitation."

After the battle, he analyzed his strengths and weaknesses, outlining his future goals.

After meeting with Qin Lin and the others, they quickly returned to the main force.

Upon their return, they found the army quietly resting in place, a sight that brought relief to Qin Yi.

"It seems the Sand Shinobi only dispatched a small squad this time. However, even a larger force would have difficulty infiltrating Konoha."

After scanning the area and observing the soldiers diligently training their chakra, Qin Yi nodded slightly.

He had just experienced a major battle, and his chakra was completely depleted. He needed to recover.

The Three Generals were also in no hurry to depart. After exchanging glances, they sat down cross-legged and began to rest.

Less than three minutes after closing his eyes, Gandalf approached.

"Your Majesty."

Gandalf called softly, his tone grave.

"Gandalf, what is it?"

Qin Yi opened his eyes and inquired.

"Observe this."

Gandalf held out his staff, and Qin Yi's eyes narrowed as soon as he saw it.

"An enemy!"

Qin Yi declared in a low voice.

"Yes, and the energy signature is immense, comparable to what we sensed from Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara in Konoha." Gandalf said quietly.

Qin Yi slowly stood up but did not look around. Instead, he asked, "Can you identify the enemy?"

Gandalf shook his head.

"The enemy is powerful but remains concealed. Their intentions are unclear."

"We must not act rashly."

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Yi understood.

"Then I will leave it to you, Gandalf. Maintain vigilant watch. We must be prepared to defend at the first sign of movement."

Gandalf nodded, his expression troubled and turned to leave.
