Chapter 33: KOW Chapter 33 Go After Them
(Translator- The Bloodline Release the main character developed was named Bursting Release but I changed it to Scorch Release as it combines Fire and Wind and the only bloodline or technique in Naruto that combines them is Scorch Release. If it becomes different in the future then I will mention it)
The development of Rasengan and Scorch Release had propelled Qin Yi's strength to new heights. Now, he was working to improve the Shunshin No Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique). If he succeeded, his overall combat prowess would leap forward significantly.
During the march, Qin Yi, the three generals, and even the soldiers were all diligently training. With each passing day, their strength grew rapidly.
That night, Qin Yi sat cross-legged on the ground to rest as the army halted its advance. After days of continuous travel, everyone had reached their physical limits.
Taking advantage of this time, Qin Yi focused on refining the Shunshin No Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique) in his mind.
For him, developing a series of Ninjutsu based on Scorch Release that suited his fighting style was an essential task.
Of course, improving a technique like Body Flicker was no easy feat. Even for Qin Yi, it would take considerable time.
However, he never expected it to be perfected in one go. Techniques like Rasengan, Flying Thunder God, and Chidori were all developed over long periods and refined by their creators and successors before reaching their ultimate forms.
Even with his exceptional talent, Qin Yi didn't anticipate completing it in a short time.
"As long as it's usable for now, the rest can be refined during future use," he thought as he continued his research.
The night passed uneventfully, and by early morning, the army resumed its march.
At that moment, the three generals approached him.
"Your Majesty, our Chakra levels have all reached the Genin stage, and we've already mastered the Three Basic Techniques," they reported.
"So quickly?!" Qin Yi looked at them in astonishment.
He found it hard to believe. His rapid advancement to Chunin level was due to his unique ability to plunder skills. But these three generals? And he had already noticed the soldiers were progressing unusually fast in their Chakra cultivation.
"It's not just us— three other soldiers have also reached the Genin level," Yang Yi added with a smile.
Qin Yi was stunned but simultaneously overjoyed.
"That's fantastic!"
In the Shinobi world, Chunin were qualified to serve as team captains, leading three Genin in missions. Now, with the three generals and soldiers reaching Genin, the Qin Nation could form two Shinobi squads.
One squad could be led by him, and the other by Gandalf. This would work perfectly!
Even though it was just two squads, considering how little time had passed since they arrived in the Otherworld and began learning Chakra, this progress was astounding.
At that moment, Qin Yi deeply recognized the unique nature of the people from the King's World.
Understanding the importance of this matter, he quickly made arrangements.
The three generals would stay with him. As the backbone of the Qin army, they would form a squad with him to learn Shinobi knowledge and combat fundamentals as quickly as possible. They would later teach these skills to others. Gandalf, on the other hand, would oversee the three newly promoted Genin and ensure their safety.
"These three— Zuo Mu, Qiu Jiaxiang, and Andrew— are now in your charge, Gandalf," Qin Yi said solemnly.
Gandalf nodded, then turned to lead the three ecstatic soldiers away.
"As for you three," Qin Yi said, turning back to the generals, "we will now officially form a squad. During this time, I will teach you everything you need to know about being Shinobi."
The three generals nodded solemnly, understanding their responsibilities and the weight of their duties.
For the time being, Qin Yi set aside his Ninjutsu development efforts to focus on training the three generals.
They began sparring atop the towering trees in the dense forest, accumulating experience and growing rapidly.
…
At the same time, in the desert bordering Konoha's forest, several figures flickered briefly before darting into the woods.
"Captain Ishi, we've hurried all the way here, but how should we track down that group's location?"
After entering the forest, the group quickly concealed themselves. One of them asked the masked leader this question.
"Leave the task of finding the enemy to Sazuri. Remember our mission— do not linger here unnecessarily," Ishi said in a low voice.
"I heard they killed nearly a hundred of our Sand Shinobi. Is that true, Captain?"
The man who first spoke asked curiously.
Hearing this, Ishi turned around and gave him a cold glare without replying.
"Gorin-kun, that information is classified as an S-Rank secret of the village. Don't ask recklessly," Sazuri gently reminded.
Realizing his mistake, Gorin broke into a cold sweat, recalling the consequences of probing into S-Rank secrets.
"Our mission is to eliminate their leader. Ignore everything else. Once the task is completed, retreat to the Land of Wind immediately," Ishi said calmly.
"According to the intel, their forces are weak—a mere group of ordinary warriors. If we seize the right opportunity, we can easily accomplish our goal."
"That's why the village assigned this mission as A-Rank."
"But its nature is top secret and must not be disclosed."
Gorin and Sazuri exchanged glances, their hearts trembling slightly.
Ishi was a Jōnin of the village, known for his formidable strength and high success rate in missions. His leadership on this task was evidence of its significance. Moreover, the team consisted of uniquely skilled Chunin: Sazuri, a sensory-type Shinobi; Gorin, an expert in Genjutsu; and a mysterious individual who remained silent, carrying a heavy black iron box.
This lineup was undoubtedly an elite squad for the Land of Wind at the time, boasting destructive power even greater than their last probing attack on Konoha.
"Sazuri, check the area ahead for any enemies," Ishi commanded.
Sazuri quickly closed his eyes. A faint breeze seemed to stir through the forest, sweeping over a kilometer in ten seconds. He reopened his eyes.
"No enemies detected ahead, Captain."
Ishi nodded. "Let's move!"
The other three exchanged glances and prepared to proceed. But in the next moment, Ishi's expression changed drastically.
As they looked up, a cold, imposing figure descended rapidly.
"Scatter!"
With a shout, the four quickly separated.
The newcomer landed heavily on the spot where they had been, his eyes cold and indifferent as he spoke softly.
"Fools from the Land of Wind— what mission brings you here?"
At the sight of the man, the faces of Ishi and his team turned pale with fear.
"U... Uchiha Madara!!"
They shouted his name in terror, their entire bodies trembling.
"Tell me, what is your purpose here?"
Standing alone, Uchiha Madara exuded a terrifying aura that struck fear into the elite squad from the Land of Wind.
"This has nothing to do with Konoha. We're here for that army from the other day!" Ishi shouted hastily.
"Oh? You're after that kid, are you?"
Madara's eyes glinted as a faint smile played on his lips.
"They've headed toward the eastern islands near the border of the Land of Fire."
"If you're after him..."
"Then go after him."
