"Since you insist, from today onward, the Uzushiogakure (Hidden Village of the Whirlpools) will cease to exist!"
Qin Yi's expression immediately darkened.
The Seven-Tails beneath him let out a roar, its massive limbs pressing down fiercely toward the Uzukage.
"Boom!"
Dust flew as a large area of the ground was shattered. The Uzukage retreated rapidly, his expression slightly changing.
"Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques), Eight Sacrificial Ghost Seal!"
His hands moved like phantoms, quickly crossing as he shouted.
The moment the hand seals were completed, eight ghostly figures appeared around him. Their outlines were terrifying, resembling fierce ghosts, standing in the eight trigrams positions and glaring at Qin Yi with blood-red eyes.
"Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques)? I've been wanting to see them in action!" Qin Yi narrowed his eyes, and the Seven-Tails began to gather another Bijūdama (Tailed Beast Ball) in its mouth.
"Seal! Seal! Seal!"
The Uzukage's expression changed, and he immediately shouted three times.
Compared to the other Uzumaki Clan Shinobi, his reaction speed was significantly higher after regaining his senses. His body leaped continuously, and his Chakra surged intensely.
The Uzumaki Clan was known for their vast Chakra reserves and tenacious vitality. Their unique Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques) made them the best candidates for becoming Jinchūriki (Power of Human Sacrifice).
At this moment, the Uzukage aimed at the Seven-Tails, intending to seal the massive creature once again.
"Boom!"
The Bijūdama (Tailed Beast Ball) moved at incredible speed, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the eight fierce ghosts stood in the eight trigrams positions and let out a unified roar.
"Crack!"
Ripples seemed to appear in the air, and thin black lines extended like ropes, instantly penetrating the Bijūdama (Tailed Beast Ball). Immediately, the powerful and fast-moving Bijūdama (Tailed Beast Ball) came to a halt, and its energy began to dissipate rapidly. By the time the Bijūdama (Tailed Beast Ball) completely vanished, the eight ghosts also dissipated into smoke.
"Incredible! You can neutralize such a massive energy construct! I must commend your Uzumaki Clan's Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques)!" Qin Yi looked down from above, speaking slowly and solemnly.
In the next moment, he leaped down from the Seven-Tails and began running toward the Uzukage.
Within a few breaths, he reached the Uzukage and threw a punch.
The Uzukage, slightly out of breath from using the Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques), lowered his head and retreated, dodging Qin Yi's attack.
"Your Taijutsu is good, but you are still too inexperienced!" Qin Yi first praised, then sneered, taking a step forward and raising his right foot to kick the Uzukage's abdomen.
The Uzukage's expression changed, and he moved his hands down to block the kick.
However, Qin Yi used the force of the block to step on the Uzukage's arms, propelling himself into the air, and kicked toward the Uzukage's chin with his other foot.
"Bang!"
The Uzukage reacted quickly, moving his hands up to block his chin. But the force of the kick sent him flying backward.
"Whoosh!"
After exhaling quickly, Qin Yi chased after him again, sweeping his leg toward the Uzukage's lower body.
Just as the Uzukage prepared to dodge again, he was shocked to find a black dot appearing at the center of his forehead.
"Not this again!"
His hands, hanging at his sides, immediately formed hand seals.
"Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques), Four Ghost Sacrificial Seal Technique!"
"Rasengan!"
Almost simultaneously, a rapidly spinning blue energy sphere appeared at the center of his forehead, charging toward him.
"Buzz Buzz Buzz!"
At the last possible second, four violet streams of energy flared to life at the Uzukage's forehead. They wove together swiftly, forming a shimmering purple ring etched with arcane sealing runes— just in time to intercept the Rasengan's spiraling fury.
"Not bad," Qin Yi said, his voice carrying a note of genuine admiration. "You've got skill— surprising skill. Few have ever stopped my Rasengan."
The black dot hovering before him darted back into his mouth and vanished. His right hand trembled faintly, a low hum rising as another Rasengan whirled into existence within his palm.
Without a moment's pause, he thrust it forward, pressing the churning orb against the Uzukage's barrier with relentless force.
"Crack!"
A sharp, splintering sound cut through the air, and the Uzukage's face tightened. The first Rasengan had dissipated, but this second one bore down harder, its pressure clawing at his focus.
Three tense breaths later, the barrier shattered completely. The Rasengan broke through, hurling the Uzukage backward with brutal force.
"Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!"
He skidded across the ground for dozens of meters, dust billowing around him, until he finally came to a halt. Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth, staining his lips crimson.
The Rasengan hadn't struck him dead-on, but its glancing blow still left his insides rattled with pain radiating through his core.
Rising slowly, the Uzukage's expression hardened with a mix of resolve and wariness.
That fleeting exchange had laid bare Qin Yi's strength. In a straight fight, he was outmatched— painfully so.
"QinKage Sama," He said through gritted teeth, forcing the words out, "Your demands go too far. Let's find another way. The Uzushiogakure (Hidden Village of the Whirlpools) can meet your terms."
"Uzukage," Qin Yi replied, his tone flat and unyielding, "you're too naive."
The words hit like a slap, and the Uzukage's face twisted in shock.
Then Qin Yi spoke again, his voice cutting through the tense silence.
"This is an age ripe for ending chaos and forging unity. How do you think the five great nations rose? The strong devour the weak, weaving a fractured world into a single, unbroken whole." He paused, letting the weight settle. "You're my neighbor— don't you know the old saying? 'Never let another sleep soundly at your doorstep.'"
With a deliberate step forward, his voice reverberated through the dust-choked, war-torn streets.
It wasn't loud, but to the Uzukage, it thundered in his ears, rattling his spirit and forcing clarity upon him.
This QinKage wasn't here for justice. His goal was conquest— to swallow the Uzushiogakure (Hidden Village of the Whirlpools) whole.
"Today, you have one choice," Qin Yi declared, his tone cold as steel. "The Uzumaki Clan, Uzushiogakure (Hidden Village of the Whirlpools)— they all become part of my Nation of Qin."
Suddenly, he broke into a run, his pace accelerating with intent.
"QinKage, you're too arrogant!" the Uzukage roared, fury igniting in his chest. "The Uzushiogakure (Hidden Village of the Whirlpools) isn't some ripe fruit for you to pluck!"
In an instant, they clashed again. Fists and feet met in a flurry of strikes, kicking up clouds of dust that swirled around them.
"Did you think I'd wage war without preparation— without absolute certainty?" Qin Yi said sharply, driving the Uzukage back with a solid punch.
His eyes shifted, and the Uzukage froze, a jolt of recognition coursing through him.
"What—?!"
"Sharingan," Qin Yi intoned, his voice like ice. "Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."
Chakra flared around him, wild and potent. Blue flames licked the air, and in four swift breaths, a towering Susanoo rose before the Uzukage— a colossal warrior of energy, its presence overwhelming.
"And here's something else," Qin Yi added, his gaze piercing. "Uchiha Madara has joined my nation."
The Uzukage's expression faltered, sweat beading on his brow.
He knew of Uchiha Madara— Konoha's legendary shadow, a name that carried weight across the shinobi world. But to think he'd aligned with the Nation of Qin?
Doubt gnawed at him, yet the proof stood before him— those unmistakable eyes, burning with power.
