When Senju Hashirama extended his invitation, Qin Yi wasn't surprised as Gandalf had already mentio. After a moment of sideration, Qin Yi replied,

  "Thank your Hokage for the invitation and tell him that I will arrive shortly."

  Despite the initial fri betweewo sides when he first arrived in this world, both Konoha and Qin Yi's fa had tacitly agreed to let bygones be bygones, whether for the sake of the current situation or future development.

  For powerful fas, mutual is always outweighed grudges.

  "I will wait ahead to guide you, my lord."

  The cat-masked Shinobi smiled before he turned a.

  Qin Yi's eyes flickered. He was well aware that the 6,000 soldiers under his and were undoubtedly under Konoha's surveilnce during these days. An army of that size wouldn't go unnoticed by any force.

  Turning away, Qin Yi called fandalf and the Three Generals.

  "Konoha's invitation for Your Majesty is somethiicipated."

  "From our analysis, there are three main reasons behind this meeting."

  "First, to smooth over past fri. Konoha doesn't seem i on starting a war. It's said that their Hokage is a peace-loving individual."

  "Sed, they see potential in our fa and may want to invite us to join them. Acc to the intelligence we've gathered, Konoha itself is still in the early stages of establishing its influend is trying to ally with other fas."

  "Third, it's about Your Majesty. Your performan the previous battle was remarkable a a deep impression on them."

  The Three Generals spoke with crity, and their analysis was based o intelligend ly exposed the essence of the situation. Qin Yi couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise when he heard them.

  He realized that the pilrs of his kingdom were not the ministers of indulgend inpetence, but these three generals standing before him.

  They were fearless, bold, loyal, and selfless – individuals who truly beed the kingdom.

  Gandalf stood to the side, smiling silently as he watched the discussion unfold.

  "Of course, this is just h estimation. The specifics will depend on what their Hokage has to say." Yang Yi added with a smile.

  Qin Yi nodded, furrowing his brow in thought before issuing his orders.

  "Gather a hundred soldiers who have shown the greatest profi Chakra training during this period. They will apany us to Konoha."

  "General Fang Lan, I'll need you to remain here and oversee the camp until we return."

  It was impossible for the entire army of nearly 6,000 soldiers to enter Konoha Vilge; such a move would cause tremendous upheaval. This trip's purpose was simply a diplomatic visit aiation.

  Soon, a hundred outstanding soldiers were selected.

  As Qin Yi sed the and imposing formation before him, he nodded silently in approval.

  Without a doubt, the soldiers of the Kingdom were loyal and formidable. These men were likely trained by his father – wherever he had found or shaped them.

  Though they were ordinary people, they were battle-hardened, capable of adapting swiftly to new enviros and enduring harsh survival ditions.

  In Qin Yi's estimation, their talents were exceptional. In a short amount of time, their Chakra reserves had nearly reached the level of Genin.

  "It's just a pity that there aren't enough Ninjutsu scrolls."

  He sighed internally, feeling troubled by this shortfall.

  "Time has been too short. I do have some scrolls on hand, but I haven't had the ce to teach them yet."

  After a brief moment of ption, Qin Yi decided not to dey further. He gestured for the group to move forward with the two generals and Gandalf.

  Along the way, Qin Yi didn't remain idle.

  "Order the soldiers to use their Chakra to adhere to the tree trunks and move forward by running along the branches."

  "Additionally, ehey quickly learhree Ninjutsu teiques."

  Calling over Qin Lin, Qin Yi handed him instrus for the Three Basic Teiques (Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Jutsu), Bunshinjutsu (e Jutsu), and Kawarimi no Jutsu (Substitution Jutsu)), quietly expining the process.

  Qin Lin immediately set to work, his heart rag slightly as he realized the significe of what Qin Yi had entrusted to him.

  This strange "World's Strength" was truly marvelous. When applied to swordsmanship, bde teiques, or even body teiques (Taijutsu), it could signifitly amplify destructive power. Over the past two days, Qin Lin and the soldiers had begun learning to harhis power during their training, leaving them ecstatic.

  They finally uood why there had been such a massive gap in strength between them and their oppos.

  "As long as we have this new power, we be just as strong as they are!"

  With this thought in mind, Qin Lin quickly turo tieag the soldiers.

  Before long, under Qin Yi's instrus, all the soldiers began practig running up tree trunks.

  Faced with this newfound power, the soldiers were visibly excited and deeply ied. Their talent was evident – after just a bit of practice, some were already able to run several steps up the tree trunks, parallel to the ground.

  The sight of defying the ws of gravity had the soldiers shouting iement.

  Qin Yi smiled as he watched them. He could sense his "King's Strength" fluctuating slightly. It was as though the soldiers' progress was subtly enhang his own power.

  Though the effect was almost negligible, it underscored the profound e between himself as king and his nation.

  "Haha, let me give it a try too!"

  Gandalf chuckled as he moved toward a tree trunk.

  To Qin Yi, the two generals, and the soldiers' amazement, the t old man – over three meters tall – effortlessly walked up the tree trunk. Reag the branches, he leaped lightly and nded gracefully atop one.

  "Haha, it's quite simple!" Gandalf ughed heartily.

  Qin Yi shook his head with an amused smile. For a demi-god like Gandalf, tasks requiring precise trol over energy were hardly challenging.

  Gandalf's success ighe soldiers' enthusiasm even further, and they tinued practig as they advanced.

  An hour ter, Qin Lin burst into ughter as he climbed up a tree trunk, parallel to the ground, sg the massive tree vertically all the way to its top.

  "It seems the generals and soldiers, thanks to their diligent daily training, have mao traheir experien mastering strength to their Chakra trol, allowing them to grasp it quickly."

  Qin Yi reflected, realizing the reason for their swift progress.

  Gandalf's mastery was no surprise, and Qin Lin's ability was also expected – they were seasoned veterans, after all.

  The soldiers tio practice diligently, showing noticeable improvement with every attempt.

  Two hours ter, the grrouped in the dense forest with the cat-masked Shinobi.

  "Leader, are you teag your subordio use Chakra?"

  The Shinobi, eyes curious, asked while looking at the soldiers.

  "That's correct."

  Qin Yi nodded briefly, no further expnation.

  The cat-masked Shinobi merely asked the one question and fell silent. Leading the way in front, he remained watchful of the group behind him – these soldiers who were leaping on and off the trees.

  Though their Chakra trol was still weak, the Shinobi could no longer see them as mere ordinary soldiers. To him, they were already beginning to qualify as Shinobi.

  Yet, based on the information he had received from his rades, this group was supposed to be nothing more than ordinary soldiers!

  "Does that mean these people have already begun learning Chakra in such a short time?"

  "And it's all thanks to their leader?"
