"Boom!"
A thunderous roar suddenly echoed across the desert, and a white figure materialized out of nowhere.
The Sand Ninjas froze for a moment, barely registering how the figure had appeared. But they couldn't miss the cold, indifferent expression on the person's face, nor the murderous aura radiating from them.
"Enemy! Kill!"
The leader of the Sand Ninjas shouted, urgency lacing his voice.
Behind the white-robed figure, the Kingdom's soldiers fought desperately, their backs against the wall as the Sand Ninjas advanced with lethal intent.
"You've made me angry!"
The white-robed figure slowly raised a staff that resembled dried wood, his voice cold and unwavering.
The Sand Ninjas were incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were upon him, blades unsheathed and kunai glinting menacingly.
Suddenly, the white-robed figure thrust his staff into the desert sands beneath his feet.
"Boom!"
A massive thunderclap resonated through the air, causing both Qin Yi's group and the Sand Ninjas to look up in shock.
The sky, once bright, turned pitch black. Enormous thunderbolts twisted and roared, illuminating the sky with flashes of brilliance and darkness.
"Thunder!"
The white-robed figure shouted.
"Boom!"
Another thunderclap rang out, and lightning twisted down from the sky, striking his staff.
Immediately, the lightning surged through the staff, radiating outward in every direction, forming a chain of electricity.
"Flip Flap!"
In front of him, the slower Sand Ninjas were struck by lightning in an instant, exploding on the spot. The faster ones, despite using the Body Replacement Technique multiple times, were still scorched to a crisp.
The terrifying lightning lasted for what felt like an eternity, and when it finally subsided, all that remained in front of the white-robed figure were charred corpses.
The Sand Ninja leader and his companions felt their hearts tremble, their pupils constricting in disbelief.
"Such powerful Ninjutsu!"
They had never witnessed such a powerful technique. With a single strike, more than thirty Sand Ninjas had perished.
Near the edge of the forest, one Sand Ninja rushed toward the girl.
But at that moment, another figure descended even faster, landing directly in front of her with a loud crash.
The girl instinctively drew her sword, ready to fight.
"Give me the sword."
A familiar voice made her freeze in shock, disbelief filling her eyes.
Before she could react, the figure swiftly grabbed the sword from her hand, lifting their gaze toward the Sand Ninja above, whose face was twisted with madness.
"Don't be afraid. I am here."
The contradictory words— cold yet tender— reached the girl's ears, and she couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
A month of pressure, a month of painful torment, countless times witnessing soldiers who had just sworn allegiance to her turn into corpses. Her frail body and fragile heart bore an unimaginable weight of sorrow while she pretended to be strong on the surface.
But at this moment, hearing those six words, everything collapsed.
"Watch quietly as I avenge you."
The words, filled with fierce determination, made the girl sob and nod repeatedly.
A cold wind swept through, and the Sand Ninja's sinister face loomed closer, the short blade in his hand swinging down fiercely.
Qin Yi, holding the sword in one hand, had eyes as cold as ice. With a swift motion, his long sword shot forward.
"Pfft!"
The strike was so fast, carrying overwhelming killing intent, that it pierced through the Shinobi's chest.
A clean and decisive blow left the Shinobi stunned, and the General and soldiers around them were momentarily frozen in shock.
When they finally saw the figure clearly, their shock deepened.
"Your Majesty!!!"
"Fall back!"
Qin Yi commanded again.
The General, quick to react, grabbed the girl and retreated, the soldiers following closely behind.
At that moment, everyone could sense the drastic change in the young man's aura, and they all knew something profound had shifted within him.
"Bang!"
At that moment, the Shinobi who had been struck exploded into white mist and vanished from sight.
"Behind!"
A soldier shouted, warning them.
The General widened his eyes, seeing the Sand Ninja reappear ahead of them.
Qin Yi turned around, making hand seals with both hands. In an instant, his hands moved like shadows, and almost immediately, he puffed up his cheeks.
"Katon (Fire Release), Grand Fireball Technique!"
"Fūton (Wind Release), Air Cannon!"
Both Ninjutsu were completed simultaneously, and a massive fireball shot forward three meters, directly hitting the Shinobi, causing him to explode into more white mist.
At the same time, the Shinobi reappeared five meters to Qin Yi's left.
But this time, the moment he appeared, his expression changed drastically.
"Impossible!"
Qin Yi's gaze was cold as he slowly turned around.
With a blast, an air cannon struck the Sand Ninja, causing him to spit blood as he fell onto the sand. He rolled several meters before shakily standing up, disbelief etched on his face.
Another Sand Ninja, rushing from a distance, saw this and his pupils constricted in shock.
"What a joke!"
"Using different hand seals with each hand, releasing them almost simultaneously."
"And he even accurately predicted the attack direction of the Shinobi."
"Who exactly is this guy?!"
In the next moment, he saw Qin Yi's figure appear in front of the Shinobi.
"Plunder!"
Qin Yi's gaze was icy as he activated his ability.
This time, he only plundered Chakra, not checking the Shinobi's soul in detail. The Chakra rushed into his body, instantly replenishing his dwindling energy and even increasing it.
"Only a Chunin level, but the Chakra acquired is more than expected?"
His eyes flashed, and Qin Yi turned around, swinging his sword to block the kunai coming at him.
In the next moment, his figure suddenly vanished, and he charged at the Sand Ninja who had just attacked him, throwing a punch.
The Sand Ninja quickly retreated, ready to counter with his kunai, but he didn't expect Qin Yi to be faster.
"Bang!"
A dull sound echoed as the kunai in the Sand Ninja's hand was knocked away, his fingers splayed open.
Qin Yi's eyes flashed, and his right hand suddenly raised, aiming at the Ninja's fingers.
"Impossible!"
Senju Tobirama, who had just arrived, was stunned when he saw Qin Yi's actions.
Not only did he not see the lightning strike with the power of an S-Rank Ninjutsu, but he was also deeply shocked by how fast Qin Yi performed the hand seals with both hands almost simultaneously, and his terrifying precognitive ability.
But none of that compared to what he was witnessing now.
Because—
"Whoosh!"
A series of afterimages flashed, and the moment Qin Yi's five fingers aligned with the Sand Ninja's, both of their hands were performing hand seals.
However, the Sand Ninja's hand seals were actually assisting Qin Yi.
In other words, the moment their fingers met, the Sand Ninja's hands were controlled, helping Qin Yi form his hand seals!
Almost instantly.
"Fūton (Wind Release), Great Breakthrough!"
With terror in the Sand Ninja's eyes, Qin Yi opened his mouth and released a whirlwind.
