Gandalf's eyes narrowed, and his body tensed with vigilance. He felt an immense sense of threat from this man!

"Konoha does not form alliances with trash!"

"Therefore, you need to demonstrate your worth!"

Uchiha Madara's voice was cold, his expression even colder. His words resonated through the small courtyard, ringing with the sharpness of steel on iron.

Hashirama's expression changed slightly, his face looking a bit unpleasant.

"Madara, Qin is a person of talent, but right now—"

Uchiha Madara sneered, his gaze locking onto Qin Yi.

"If these 6,000 soldiers, plus you, have no experts, what help can you bring to us? And instead of an alliance, I'd prefer to incorporate you into the Nation of the Fire's territory!"

"If you disagree, it's just a little more trouble."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two generals immediately changed their expressions, their swords drawn in a flash.

However, Uchiha Madara didn't even spare them a glance, his eyes still fixed on Qin Yi.

His pitch-black pupils suddenly transformed into three Tomoe Sharingan.

Qin Yi's heart jolted, and after a breath, the scene before him had completely changed.

The flash of a blade, followed by the sound of a scream.

He spun around and saw Qin Lin and Yang Yi lying in pools of blood.

"Genjutsu (Illusionary Technique)!"

In an instant, Qin Yi realized what had happened. The scene in front of him seemed incredibly real— everything from the scents to the lighting was so vivid that it felt like one could immerse in it without effort.

"Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, Gandalf called out, and a blinding white light erupted. After a brief daze, the scene before Qin Yi returned to normal.

Uchiha Madara's eyes turned cold as he gazed at Gandalf behind Qin Yi. In the blink of an eye, he flashed forward and was suddenly in front of Qin Yi, causing his face to change drastically.

"If you're too weak, you are of no value to Konoha."

His indifferent voice rang out like thunder in Qin Yi's ears.

Qin Yi's gaze tightened as he clearly saw the kunai in Madara's hand, gleaming with a dark cold light, heading straight for his neck.

"Too fast!"

"And there's not even the slightest opening!"

With just a casual move, Madara had already placed Qin Yi in a life-or-death situation. This was Uchiha Madara's power!

"Hah!"

Facing this life-or-death crisis, Qin Yi drew upon his inner strength.

"Gandalf!"

He muttered to himself, realizing that the only force he could rely on now was Gandalf's power.

Moreover, he had to face this powerful enemy! The alliance with Konoha was already an unequal one, and if he couldn't demonstrate the strength that Madara could respect, even if the alliance succeeded, he would never be able to hold his head up in the future.

"Under heaven, all Royal Subjects belong to the king, what I possess belongs to the ruler!"

"Inner Strength, activated!"

At that moment, a blinding white light erupted from Qin Yi's body. This light was pure and sacred, yet carried an intense heat, as if it could cleanse all the dirt of time.

"Bang!"

Smoke exploded, and Uchiha Madara in front of Qin Yi vanished into a cloud of white mist.

The light faded, revealing Qin Yi's figure, but when he looked around, Uchiha Madara was nowhere to be seen.

The people in the courtyard were shocked by the sudden burst of powerful energy emanating from Qin Yi.

"Whoosh!"

Qin Yi's figure vanished in the next second.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out loudly from the roof nearby, causing everyone to look up in alarm.

Two figures were rapidly colliding, and with every impact, the tiles beneath them shattered, and sparks flew as their weapons clashed.

"Your strength suddenly increased significantly. Is this your hidden power?" Uchiha Madara asked indifferently.

"You wanted to see my strength, didn't you? Then let me show you!" Qin Yi threw his kunai, and after a clash with Madara, he quickly jumped back, creating some distance.

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

"Fūton: Daitoppa (Wind Release: Great Breakthrough)"

With both hands forming seals at incredible speed, they became mere phantoms.

Uchiha Madara's pupils narrowed as he swiftly made hand seals with one hand.

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

Everyone in the courtyard stared in shock at the battle between these two on the roof, especially at Qin Yi's rapid hand seals, which left them in awe.

"Boom!"

Two fireballs, along with wind blades, exploded on the roof. In an instant, a wooden house collapsed.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Just then, the sound of what seemed like a thousand birds chirping at once rang out, and a figure suddenly charged forward, running at an incredible speed. As it moved, the roof exploded once again.

"Chidori!"

In the blink of an eye, Qin Yi was already in front of Uchiha Madara. A dazzling blue light emerged from his right hand, forming a hand blade, and with terrifying speed, he thrust it forward.

"Thud!"

In front of everyone's eyes, Qin Yi, with his right hand glowing with intense blue light, plunged it deep into Uchiha Madara's heart.

"This?!"

Below, Hashirama and the others stood there, dumbfounded. They never expected the young man to be able to fight Uchiha Madara to this extent. Even more surprising were the techniques Qin Yi displayed and the methods he used to execute them.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a burst of smoke exploded, and the figure in front of Qin Yi disintegrated.

"Shadow Clone?"

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes and quickly turned around. In his left hand, multiple spirals appeared, and a faint blue energy rapidly formed a spinning ball.

Without hesitation or delay, he thrust his left hand back forcefully.

As he turned, he saw Uchiha Madara coming from behind, swinging a kunai at him.

"Boom!"

"Rasengan!"

The faint blue ball slammed into Uchiha Madara's abdomen, and at that moment, it felt as though time had frozen.

Uchiha Madara's eyes showed a flash of surprise before he was sent flying, spinning away. After flying three meters, his figure exploded into white mist.

"Another Shadow Clone?"

Qin Yi's eyes narrowed, his mind racing. This was becoming increasingly difficult.

It was no surprise that Uchiha Madara was called one of the gods of Shinobi. His reaction speed was extraordinary.

"Two new techniques, both No hand seals Ninjutsu. Did you develop them?" At this moment, Uchiha Madara's voice came from behind.

His tone was no longer dismissive or aloof but filled with some surprise.

"Indeed." Qin Yi responded indifferently as he turned around.

He slowly raised his right hand, and the dazzling faint blue light flickered once again.

"Want to try again? It's useless, kid."

Uchiha Madara said coldly.

"Thunder!"

Qin Yi remained expressionless, his right hand suddenly slicing forward.

"Boom!"

A thunderclap split the clear sky, and immediately after, a golden lightning chain shot down, aiming directly at Qin Yi's hand.

Qin Yi reached out with his right hand and caught the lightning chain.

In that instant, the flashing lightning illuminated him, casting light and shadow in rapid succession.

Everyone below, watching Qin Yi grip the lightning chain, was left speechless.

"What technique is this?!"
