"Roar!"

The pain forced a low growl from him, followed by a blur as he activated the Body Flicker Technique, his speed reaching its peak.

The remaining Genin were swiftly struck down, each a fatal blow.

"Plunder!"

He activated his ability again. There was no Ninjutsu, no special techniques, just a surge of Chakra.

In an instant, his Chakra soared to Chunin level.

This frantic plundering fueled his rapid progress during the brief battle.

Shaking off the dizziness, he fixed his gaze on the last opponent and saw panic rising in the man's eyes. He vanished again, reappearing directly in front of him.

"Whoosh!"

Ignoring the dizziness, he relied on instinct to form hand seals.

"Fūka-Ton: Dai Fūka Ryū no Jutsu (Wind-Fire Release, Grand Wind-Fire Dragon Technique)!"

With his Chakra at its peak, flames erupted like a raging wind, combining with the sharpness of wind blades and the searing heat of fire, instantly engulfing the last Sand Ninja.

"No!!"

A terrified scream echoed as the Sand Ninja was consumed by the powerful Ninjutsu.

Qin Yi's movements were a whirlwind, a blur of motion that left the Kingdom's soldiers stunned. Only now did they truly see him.

"Your Majesty!"

Witnessing him single-handedly defeat these formidable foes with almost no resistance, the soldiers were initially shocked, then erupted in excited cheers.

With the enemies vanquished, Qin Yi finally relaxed.

But the pain in his head intensified, and an overwhelming fatigue washed over him. His vision blurred, and he collapsed.

"Your Majesty!!"

The soldiers panicked, rushing toward his location to support him.

Gandalf arrived, checking Qin Yi and sighing in relief.

"His Majesty is fine."

…

At the edge of the forest:

"Let's check on him. The battle with the Sand Ninjas is over."

Senju Tobirama spoke before he vanished in a flurry of motion.

The soldiers, seeing Senju Tobirama in his Shinobi attire, tensed. Gandalf waved a calming hand.

"There is no need to worry. They are not enemies."

"How is he?"

Senju Tobirama inquired in a low voice, glancing at Qin Yi.

"He suffered no serious injuries."

Gandalf, sensing the immense energy radiating from Senju Tobirama, focused his attention.

He pointed his staff at Qin Yi's chest, a pale white energy emanating from it and flowing into Qin Yi's body. Soon, Qin Yi's complexion improved significantly.

"Regarding your HokageSama's invitation, our leader may not be able to come immediately."

Gandalf addressed Senju Tobirama.

"No rush. When your leader recovers, it will be the same."

Senju Tobirama smiled warmly, though those who knew him understood this brother of the Hokage was not one to be underestimated.

Gandalf nodded, acknowledging the approaching girl. He then addressed Senju Tobirama.

"We have urgent matters to attend to. Apologies, and thank you for your assistance."

Senju Tobirama shook his head with a smile, showing respect.

The Kingdom soldiers, guided by Gandalf, moved deeper into the forest to reunite with Fang Lan.

Watching them disappear, Senju Tobirama withdrew his gaze.

His expression turned serious, disturbed by the eerie power emanating from the old man.

"That old man, his power is akin to Hashirama Sama's, like life energy, yet different." Uchiha Kagami observed.

"These people are enigmatic. They possess an aura unlike anyone in this world. It's unsettling!"

"And that old man's strength is extraordinary!"

Senju Tobirama agreed.

The surrounding Shinobi exchanged curious glances but remained silent.

"Let's return. Keep a close watch on their location, but remain undetected."

"Once their leader awakens, we'll establish formal contact. Perhaps we'll learn more."

Senju Tobirama spoke softly, his curiosity growing.

Qin Yi's group, with their foreign language, attire, and Gandalf's immense power, was a captivating enigma, drawing Senju Tobirama deeper into the mystery.

…

Two hours later, in the Hokage's office in Konoha Village.

Senju Hashirama, usually carefree, now appeared serious as he studied the documents on his desk.

"The mysterious army that appeared in the Konoha Forest."

"The young Shinobi with exceptional talent, capable of developing Kekkai Genkei (Bloodline Limit), Ninjutsu, and new hand seals."

"And lastly, that powerful old man?"

After a moment of contemplation, Senju Hashirama set down his Hokage hat.

"It seems a meeting is necessary."

"I hope it will be fruitful."

He looked out the window at the burgeoning Konoha Village with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Konoha sought the alliance of powerful forces but also needed to prevent those with ill intentions from disrupting its growth. Qin Yi's group, with their six to seven thousand soldiers, was a significant force, and it could not be ignored.

Senju Hashirama understood the need for a cautious approach.

It must align with his principles, yet not jeopardize the fledgling Konoha Village.

Meanwhile, Gandalf and the five thousand soldiers had reunited with Fang Lan and the others.

With all the Kingdom soldiers gathered, a sense of relief washed over them.

"How is my brother?"

Qin Xiyao had been asking this repeatedly throughout their journey.

"Princess, His Majesty is fine." Gandalf said.

General Qin Lin, ever vigilant by the Princess's side, also offered gentle reassurance.

As they gazed upon Qin Yi, carried on a stretcher, Qin Lin's expression was a mixture of surprise and intrigue. In his mind, the King had always been lazy, foolish, and good-for-nothing.

But how could such a wastrel have displayed such remarkable strength? It was utterly unexpected!

He had inquired with the elderly man, but the only response was:

"His Majesty is extraordinarily gifted. He has begun to understand the World's Strength."

Qin Lin was stunned. He understood the gravity of this statement. The Kingdom had traversed to other worlds, and if the King could access the World's Strength of this new world, it would signify their own growth!

"This is astonishing!"

His heart was filled with both shock and excitement.

"Don't worry, Princess. His Majesty simply overexerted himself and has temporarily lost consciousness. He will awaken soon."

Gandalf reassured Qin Xiyao once more.

Yet, the Princess remained by Qin Yi's side, her face etched with worry, unwilling to leave him.
