As the joke was just fihree people appeared o Sarutobi Hiruzen.

  "Hiruzen."

  The newer called out.

  "Kochū, Mon'en, Danzo."

  Sarutobi Hiruzeed them cheerfully.

  After the three arrived, they curiously g Qin Yi and the others, their eyes showing questioning expressions.

  "Oh, this is the Daimyo of the Nation of Qin, Lord Qin. Today, he is here to form an alliah us."

  Sarutobi Hiruzen was quickly introduced.

  "Daimyo?!" The three looked at Qin Yi in surprise.

  They were surprised by Qin Yi's age. They had heard about the battle from the previous day, where this young Daimyo, only seventeen years old, fought Uchiha Madara and dispyed many unheard-of unique Ninjutsu.

  There was no doubt about it, the young man standing before them was a genius!

  "Hello, Lord Qin!"

  Danzo reacted quickly and bowed to Qin Yi, with the other two following suit.

  "You're too kind."

  Qin Yi smiled lightly.

  These three individuals, though young with the rashness and passion typical of youth, would bee the most powerful figures in Konoha ohe Hokage storyline began. The four standing before him now were some of the most iial figures in Konoha!

  Just as he was about to chat with the three and deepen their impression, Senju Hashirama walked over with rge strides.

  "Haha, Qin, you're here! The ceremony is about to begin, e with me."

  Senju Hashirama said, smiling broadly.

  When the four saw Senju Hashirama ing over, they immediately became serious, their gaze fixed ahead. They deeply respected Konoha's Hokage.

  Qin Yi was quickly pulled away, and soon they were oform.

  By this time, the square below had gathered people in twos and threes, with many looking up at Qin Yi oage, filled with curiosity and lively discussions.

  It was obvious that many were surprised by Qin Yi's youth. As a King, his presend demeanor were extraordinary, and many female Shinobi blushed with admiration in their eyes.

  Qin Lin, standing aside, could clearly see this. A sly smile fshed across his face as he suddenly shouted loudly.

  "My Daimyo is not yet married, so feel free to pursue him if you're ied!"

  At this, the young female Shinobi's eyes sparkled with excitement.

  Qin Yi, however, was horrified and looked visibly green in the face.

  He shot a sharp gre at Qin Lin, who just ughed heartily, ued by the King's gre.

  "Hehe, Qin, I think it's fine. Since we've formed an alliance, I don't mind a marriage either."

  Senju Hashirama ughed.

  "Hashirama, stop joking around."

  Qin Yi gritted his teeth.

  At this point, Senju Tobirama, standing at the back, also spoke up, "Brother, stop messing around, let's get started. The others have arrived."

  Looking from the wooden ptform, the various s of Konoha were now gathering in small groups, making their way toward the ceremony.

  Senju Hashirama smiled and, after waiting for five minutes, cleared his throat and was ready to speak.

  "Hashirama, Madara hasn't e." Qin Yi suddenly said.

  He had searched the crowd below and could not find Uchiha Madara.

  Upon hearing this, Senju Hashirama stiffehen replied, "It's fine, Qin. Don't worry about him."

  Qin Yi's eyes fshed, and he uood. The flict betweewo had reached a point where reciliation seemed almost impossible.

  The ceremony proceeded as usual, with Qin Yi having no experien such matters, relyiirely on Tobirama's guidan what to do .

  In his uanding, the alliah Konoha resembled a grand opening ceremony for a pany in his previous life.

  It was lively, joyful, and very much a matter of pride.

  "So, from today onward, I annouhat the Nation of Qin and Konoha have officially formed an alliance!"

  Senju Hashirama stood oform, announg loudly.

  The men in the crowd were not as enthusiastic, but the women, oher haed into cheers.

  "Hehe, Qin, you're quite popur with our female Shinobi." Hashirama joked.

  "I haven't pnned on marriage yet, Hashirama, stop messing around." Qin Yi said, his head ag.

  Afterward, Senju Hashirama, busy with his duties, turned a.

  Senju Tobirama walked over to join Qin Yi and the others, followed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, and the others.

  "Qin, what are your p?"

  As they walked down a quiet street, Senju Tobirama suddenly spoke up.

  "I pn to head to an isnd that borders the Forest of Konoha, ale there for a while."

  Qin Yi paused for a moment, then spoke without hiding anything.

  "Is that so?"

  Senju Tobirama seemed somewhat surprised, then fell into silence.

  After a while, he slowly spoke again, "That pce is quite good. From what I know, many refugees are gathered there."

  "At the moment, the isnd is trolled by a group ue Shinobi, but it shouldn't be a for you."

  Qin Yi nodded.

  "The supplies Konoha provided aren't much, but it should be enough to get you to the isnd. In that case, I rest easy." Senju Tobirama smiled.

  He was muature than his older brother and was very pragmatic, always sidering the is involved.

  "We are very grateful for Konoha's generosity." Qin Yi nodded slightly.

  "Hahaha, it's nothing. Since we are allies, this is the least Konoha do for your try." Senju Tobirama said.

  A short while ter, the two fell silent again, and no one else spoke.

  After walking about a hundred meters, Senju Tobirama suddenly became serious and spoke slowly.

  "The real reason I came here is to tell you something, Qin."

  Qin Yi was taken abad looked up at him. "What news?"

  "Personally, I admire you very much, and I even sidered taking you as my disciple. But unfortunately, you don't belong to Konoha."

  With that, he shook his head, his expression showing some disappoi.

  Qin Yi was somewhat surprised but nodded in uanding.

  "Your talent is extraordinary. With proper training and guidance, you could bee an expert in a very short time."

  "In fact, this is the main reason Konoha chose to form an alliah you. Qin, you should uand."

  Senju Tobirama spoke in a deep, serious tone.

  Qin Yi nodded. He naturally uood. Konoha wouldn't care about six thousand ordinary people; what they needed was someoh the potential of Qin Yi. Once he grew, he would bee the most reliable ally for Konoha.

  "Alright, enough of that."

  "What I o tell you now is that my brother will soon vene a five-nation fereo discuss a matter reted to the distribution of national is!"

  As Senju Tobirama spoke, his voice became quieter.

  "The time will be three months from now, in July of this year!"

  Upon hearing this, Qin Yi felt a sudden chill in his heart and instantly uood what this was about.

  "So, this is about the distribution of Bijū (Tailed Beast) power!"

  As expected, Senju Tobirama spoke in a low, solemn voice.

  "So, what does Tobirama Sama mean?"

  Qin Yi asked in a deep voice.

  "I hope that in the hree months, you groidly and build your try."

  "The rest, you don't need me to eborate, Qin!"

  After saying these words, Senju Tobirama turned and walked past the stunned Qin Yi.
