Qin Yi fully grasped the weight of Tobirama's words and recognized the deep appreciation the Second Hokage had for him.

In the original story, Senju Tobirama didn't make many appearances, but each time he did, it highlighted his rational and composed nature.

Having the opportunity to engage in a private conversation with him about the distribution of the Bijū (Tailed Beasts) and receiving subtle guidance was a clear indication of Tobirama's admiration for Qin Yi's abilities.

The message was unmistakable: if Qin Yi met the basic criteria for Bijū distribution, he stood a strong chance of attending the upcoming Five Nations Conference and potentially acquiring a Bijū!

While many in this era might not fully appreciate the significance of the Bijū, Qin Yi was different. He had witnessed the grand culmination of the Naruto World and understood the true importance of the Bijū better than anyone else.

He recalled that one of the Five Nations, the Wind Country, had made the reckless choice to sell a Bijū to other villages.

The cost of obtaining a Bijū was no longer a concern for him. As long as he secured the right to distribution, his ally Konoha could negotiate favorable terms on his behalf.

A smile crept onto Qin Yi's face as he chuckled softly.

He suddenly realized that since arriving in this world, everything was moving in a positive direction.

King's Plundering had laid the groundwork for him to attain Kekkei Mōra (Bloodline Encompassing). With his exceptional talent, the ability to develop Ninjutsu, and an alliance with Konoha, the opportunities before him were abundant.

For the first time, he felt a surge of confidence about building a nation within the Hokage framework.

"Gandalf, Qin Lin, Yang Yi!" He called out suddenly.

"Your Majesty!" The three responded, taken aback but serious.

"Inventory the supplies Konoha has sent to assist us and prepare to join the main army!" Qin Yi commanded.

"Yes!" They replied enthusiastically, their eyes shining with determination.

Before long, the three led a hundred soldiers to conduct the inventory.

Qin Yi watched them go, a wave of exhilaration washing over him.

"The future looks promising, but it will require time."

Indeed, he needed time to grow stronger, and the soldiers needed time to transform into Shinobi. With only three months at his disposal, he had to make every moment count!

Once he succeeded, the vast Chakra would enable him to achieve nearly anything!

"It's a shame that I can't activate King's Way yet. If I could, time wouldn't be an issue for the soldiers."

Qin Yi sighed and shook his head.

King's Way, in essence, wasn't a King Skill. It was the process through which a King, after establishing the Otherworld Kingdom, envelops their own King's World.

During this evolution, the King's Kingdom rapidly developed, and the civilization, training processes, and even the King's own power grew at an accelerated rate.

In King's World, the King merges the Otherworld Kingdom, evolving their domain, a process known as King's Way.

Through this, the King gains godlike, unique abilities. For instance, they can bestow great power upon their subjects without requiring training, and civilization can advance in leaps and bounds. Simultaneously, the King's Strength also increases exponentially.

A King can even harness the power of a nation to forge their own royal treasures.

These are unique Skills that Qin Yi could hardly fathom at this moment.

For a King, the most formidable strength doesn't stem from what they learn in Otherworld, but from the King's Strength surging during the kingdom's evolution.

King's Strength embodies the essence of all power in the world. It can transform everything, and even the might of gods pales in comparison.

At this moment, Qin Yi was merely a novice King, still navigating his first world. As he grows, he will come to understand the immense and boundless power his father spoke of— a power that is truly omnipotent.

After half an hour, the three returned, completing the inventory. A hundred soldiers stood guard over the supplies, ready to join Qin Yi.

"The inventory is complete, Your Majesty."

Yang Yi presented the list to Qin Yi, his face glowing with excitement.

With these supplies, the soldiers would be able to sustain themselves for a while longer, allowing them to stabilize quickly.

Qin Yi scanned the list and confirmed that it was indeed sufficient for their journey to the Country of Waves, just as Senju Tobirama had indicated.

"Truly a shrewd and calculating individual," He thought, admiration flickering in his eyes for Senju Tobirama.

Such political acumen and tactical prowess made him the ideal candidate for Hokage.

After taking one last look at the Konoha village under construction, Qin Yi turned and waved his hand.

"Move out!"

The hundred soldiers, guarding the supplies, set off with the sounds of creaking from the Konoha streets as they departed the village.

Konoha was a place of strength, beauty, and prosperity. Yet, they too had their own journey to undertake, and one day, they would reach a destination filled with promise and splendor.

Meanwhile, as Qin Yi and his group left the village, a different scene unfolded within the Uchiha clan's territory.

In the secret chamber of the Naka Shrine, a shadow cloaked in darkness sat cross-legged, fixated on the Uchiha stone tablet before him.

To the untrained eye, the stone tablet appeared to be an ordinary monument, inscribed with some enigmatic Secret Technique that was both terrifying and captivating.

However, when the figure's eyes transformed into a blood-red hue, three Tomoe spinning within, connected by a black line that extended into an eternal pattern, the information inscribed on the stone tablet became something that could shake the very foundations of the world!

Calmly observing with his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, the figure displayed no surprise, unlike the first time he had encountered it.

After a prolonged silence, he spoke, his voice laced with iron resolve.

"You are all mistaken, Hashirama, Konoha, you are all mistaken!"

"Only I am right. I, Uchiha Madara, am the one who perceives the true reality of this world!"

"Since you have chosen the wrong path, it will be I, alone, who seeks the right one!"

The figure revealed himself to be Uchiha Madara.

At that moment, he felt an overwhelming sense of isolation. He could almost sense the vibrant life of Konoha, where people laughed and celebrated their strength and prosperity.

Yet, he stood apart, distanced from the crowd, enveloped in his solitude.

At this juncture, his conflict with Konoha had reached an irreversible point. There was no longer any possibility for reconciliation.

His former friends, his clan, were drifting further away.

No one could comprehend the turmoil within him— the darkness, hatred, and cruelty that ravaged his soul.

But he suppressed all of it with great effort.

"Does no one acknowledge my existence? Then I shall walk this path alone."

"True experts do not travel in groups; only cattle and sheep move in herds."

Rising slowly, his figure twisted and vanished from sight.

…

On that day, as Qin Yi and his group departed, Uchiha Madara also slipped away from everyone's view.

In the Hokage office, Senju Hashirama, engrossed in his work, soon received the news.

"Hokage-sama, Madara has vanished."

Senju Hashirama was taken aback, a sense of loss washing over him.

"Is that so?"

He too felt it— the long-standing bond between them, their friendship, seemed to have been severed, never to be mended.

The unspoken understanding they once shared, akin to stones cast into the water, had abruptly come to an end.
