Suna led his team, quickly closing the four hundred meter gap.

  After approag quietly, he waved his hand, signaling the team to stop. Through haures, the in uood his orders and hid behind the rge tree.

  From the branches above, they watched Fang Lan's hundred-man team below, f a circur defensive formation and advang step by step. The formation was tight, with equal spag between yers and soldiers, allowing for easy position ges and mutual support between the front and rear.

  "Quite a unique formation." Suna's eyes gleamed as he looked at this.

  Despite his disdain for these weaklings, he still followed orders to the letter.

  With a wave of his hand, three kunai flew out with a sharp whistle.

  "Thud, thud, thud!"

  In the blink of ahe kunai struck the front of Fang Lan's formation, immediately alerting them.

  "Alert!! Enemy!"

  Fang Lan shouted and quickly looked around at the surrounding trees. After sing the area several times, he saw no sign of an enemy, and his expression turned serious.

  These otherworldly warriors were all equipped with powerful physical abilities, making them incredibly difficult to deal with.

  "Who are you? Does anyone uand what I'm saying?"

  Suna, who was hiding behind the tree, shouted in a deep voice.

  The other three in were also hiding, clutg their ons and preparing to attack at any moment.

  There had been attempts to unicate with the enemy before, but each time, it had ended in battle.

  At that moment, Fang Lan and his team heard the scream, but they couldn't unicate due to the nguage barrier. They could only shout for everyoo prepare for battle.

  "Captain, they are preparing for battle."

  Although they couldn't uand, the in could clearly see the enemy's movements.

  "Uood. It seems that these guys are really stubborn."

  "What a shame!"

  Suna shook his head and stepped out from behind the tree. Looking down, a dark smile appeared on his lips.

  "The's kill them all!" As Shinobi, they were ons of war and would show no mercy to their enemies.

  "Fight!"

  The moment Fang Lan saw the enemy, he shouted fiercely.

  The hundred soldiers responded loudly, grabbing spears and swords and coldly looking at their oppos, ready for battle.

  "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Teique)!"

  Suna jumped down from the branches and quickly formed hand seals. He inhaled sharply, and the heat immediately surged around him.

  Aiming at the enemies below, he opened his mouth and a burning fireball shot out, stretg aire yard in front of him.

  "Shield!"

  Fag this supernatural power, Fang Lan's face ged drastically. He shouted angrily.

  The soldiers reacted quickly and raised their shields above their heads.

  At that moment, Suna's expression suddenly ged as a sharp eagle cry rang out above him.

  "Kreee!"

  At the same time, a figure jumped from the shield below.

  "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Teique)!"

  Almost instantly, the figure below opes mouth and unleashed a fireball about a meter long towards Suna.

  The two fireballs collided, the explosion sting for five or six seds before it finally ended.

  Suna's gaze turned cold, and he jumped backwards, pg his feet on a branch behind him, parallel to the ground. He stared coldly at the figure standing on the shield below.

  At that moment, the person on the shield slowly lifted his head, revealing a youthful face.

  "Ha!"

  The soldiers underh the shield suddenly flipped it up, and the figure on it jumped high into the air, nding firmly on a branch that was also firmly attached to the figure.

  "Who are you?" Suna asked coldly.

  "Please don't make a move. We mean you no harm." The young man spoke in a serious tone.

  Suna's eyes flickered as he looked down at the soldiers. "Are you one of them?"

  "Yes, they are my soldiers. Please do not attack."

  At that moment, the soldiers below finally saw the face of the person above them, their expressions frozen, then shocked.

  "Wow!"

  All one hundred soldiers, including Fang Lan, stood at attention, their right fists pounding on their chests.

  "We pay our respects to His Majesty!"

  Even in the face of a great enemy, these loyal soldiers of the kingdom showed the highest form of spirit aermination in front of their king.

  Qin Yi smiled slightly and jumped down to stand in front of the soldiers.

  "As you see, I am their leader."

  Speaking in Japanese, Suna's eyes flickered. He g the soldiers below before his body floated down and nded in front of Qin Yi.

  "You say you don't mean any harm, but from the moment you appeared, you've been attag us tinuously."

  Upon hearing this, Qin Yi's expression remained unged as he spoke calmly.

  "They don't uand the nguage. They didn't know the situation here and thought you were enemies like the Sand Ninjas."

  "It's all a misuanding."

  Suna took a step forward and smiled.

  "A misuanding?"

  In the moment, his figure suddenly disappeared, and in an instant, he was standing in front of Qin Yi, his kunai thrusting forward, aiming at his forehead.

  The soldiers behind Qin Yi were shocked, and Fang Lan's face turned pale.

  "Your Majesty!"

  The sharp kunai pierced Qin Yi's forehead, causing the hearts of Fang Lan and the others to sink.

  However, a sed ter...

  "Boom!"

  A burst of white mist spread out, scattering wood on the ground. Qin Yi's voice came from behind Suna.

  "I told you, we mean no harm. Is this how the Konoha Shinobi treat their guests?"

  Suna's eyes flickered. Wheurned his head, a smile appeared on his face.

  "A very beautiful Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Rept Teique)."

  "Is it?"

  "Let me show you something even more beautiful." Qin Yi spoke expressionlessly.

  In an instant, his hands turned into a blur and moved so fast that the look on Suna's face ged.

  "The hand seal speed, so fast!!"

  "And such a seal!"

  He had never seen anything like this before - the movements from the beginning to the end of the hand seals left him incredibly stunned.

  It's a eique! A teique that has never appeared in Konoha!

  "Using fire to borrow the wind's momentum, Fūka-ton: Dai Fūka Ryū no Jutsu (Wind-Fire Release, Grand Wind-Fire Dragon Teique)!"

  Qin Yi opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of air.

  "Whoosh!"

  A strong wind swept through, and the searing fmes, supported by the wind, instantly expanded, reag 9 Meters ih, quickly engulfing Suna.

  "Captain!"

  "Suna Sensei!"

  Shouts rang out from the trees, and three shadows fshed by, appearing in front of Qin Yi in an instant.

  Fang Lan and the others reacted just as quickly, shouting loudly as they surrouhe three figures.

  "Stop!"

  Suna's voice suddenly rang out as his figure reappeared and fixed his gaze on Qin Yi.

  Qin Yi remained expressionless, seemingly knowing that his teique had not ed the oppo.

  "Kekkei Genkai (Bloodline Limit), and..."

  At this point, a hint of surprise appeared in Suna's eyes.

  "Yes, I developed it myself."

  Qin Yi replied.

  "Huff!"

  Suna took a deep breath and suppressed the sho his heart.

  "Since you say there is no ill will, then we are not enemies."

  "I will report your iions to Hokage Sama as soon as possible."

  "I also hope that you trol your subordinates and not involve us itle with the enemy vilge."

  Qin Yi smiled. "I uand. Please give us time; I will find them as soon as possible."

  "By the way, may I ask who the current Hokage of Konoha is?"

  Suna showed a moment of fusion but answered quickly and without hesitation.

  "It is Senju Hashirama Sama."

  With that, his figure fshed and he quickly left with the three in.
