"Additionally, the Nation of the Whirlpools should already be under attack by our Shinobi! The time left for you to make a choice is running out!" Qin Yi spoke slowly once again.
At that moment, the sounds of battle cries echoed around Uzushiogakure (Hidden Village of the Whirlpools) and throughout the Nation of the Whirlpools, causing the Uzukage's expression to shift uncertainly.
"Kill! Teams on the east, west, north, and south, destroy their sealing barriers!"
"The frontal assault team, follow me into battle!"
"The people of the Nation of Qin are attacking, brothers, charge!"
The continuous roars, filled with madness and killing intent, could be heard clearly.
From the position of Qin Yi and the Uzukage, they could clearly see large clouds of dust rising, mixed with bursts of flame and explosions. This meant that the Shinobi of both nations had already engaged in battle.
"In this war, the Nation of the Whirlpools has no chance of winning. If you do not choose to merge into my Nation of Qin, there is only one outcome for you!"
Suddenly, Qin Yi's eyes widened, and the Seven-Tails behind him let out a roar to the sky, gathering another black Bijūdama (Tailed Beast Ball).
"That outcome is annihilation!"
"Roar!"
The Seven-Tails' roar shook the heavens as it tilted its head, sending the Bijūdama (Tailed Beast Ball) soaring over the two of them.
With a sharp whistling sound, it crashed into the midst of the Uzumaki Clan Shinobi, causing a massive explosion and shockwave that sent everything in its vicinity flying.
At the same time, Qin Yi quickly formed hand seals and opened his mouth to exhale.
"Scorch Release, Grand Fire Spiral!"
A spiral of flames surged toward the Uzukage.
The Uzukage leaped high into the air, his expression shifting uncertainly as he also formed hand seals.
"Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques), Five Ghost Sacrificial Seal Technique!"
Five pairs of blood-red eyes appeared in the air, resembling the eyes of malevolent ghosts, surrounded by purple energy fluctuations. They quickly traced out curves in the air, converging into a circular sealing array. When the Scorch Release collided with it, ripples appeared on its surface, and then it vanished.
"Boom Boom Boom!"
A moment later, Qin Yi's expression changed as he leaped backward. The spot where he had been standing erupted in a series of explosions.
"Interesting, you transferred my attack? A combination of Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques) and Space-Time Ninjutsu? But it's still too crude; the traces are too obvious!"
Narrowing his eyes, Qin Yi instantly understood the details of the opponent's technique.
But soon after, a smile appeared in his eyes. Indeed, such Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques) were worth obtaining and using.
As far as he knew, the Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques) of the Uzumaki Clan were actually a very powerful art, not only effective against Bijū (Tailed Beasts) but also highly effective in offense and support.
Taking a step forward with his right foot, Qin Yi's figure instantly disappeared.
The Susanoo surrounding him also vanished with a buzz, the air trembling as it disappeared.
"He's gone!"
"No, he's here!"
The Uzukage's expression changed drastically as he turned his head sharply.
A fist formed of light blue Chakra was already swinging toward him. In an instant, the two collided.
"Boom!"
The Uzukage was sent flying, propelled like a cannonball by the immense force of the Susanoo. He crashed into the buildings behind him, shattering thirteen houses before finally coming to a stop.
"Cough Cough Cough!"
Struggling to stand up from the rubble, the Uzukage coughed up blood, his face pale, and his heart sinking to the depths.
After personally experiencing Qin Yi's power, the Uzukage was filled with despair.
He was no match for his opponent. Continuing to fight would only lead to a miserable end. In the battlefield ahead, the dense and unfamiliar Chakra signatures were closing in, surrounding the entire Nation of the Whirlpools.
The tide had turned! The fate of the Nation of the Whirlpools was already predictable.
No matter what, the Uzukage had never imagined that the Nation of Qin, a nation he had respected but not taken seriously, would push them to such a point.
"Boom!"
With another explosion, the Susanoo appeared before him once again.
Not far away, the Seven-Tails raised its head once more, a black Bijūdama (Tailed Beast Ball) forming above it.
"QinKage Sama, please stop. I agree!"
The Uzukage took a deep breath, glanced once more at the battlefield ahead, and sighed heavily.
With his arms crossed, Qin Yi, standing beneath the Susanoo, was momentarily stunned, then a smile curved his lips.
"That's a wise choice!" With a rumble, the Susanoo was dismissed by Qin Yi, and he extended his hand.
The Uzukage was taken aback, but after a long sigh, he grasped Qin Yi's hand.
"On behalf of the Nation of Qin, I welcome your joining. I believe you will soon come to understand the wonders of this nation!"
Faced with Qin Yi's smiling words, the Uzukage was momentarily confused.
"The Nation of the Whirlpools has made its choice. QinKage Sama, could you command your subordinates to cease their combat actions against us?"
"Of course!" Qin Yi nodded.
He then issued the command.
In just a short span of fifteen minutes, the army of the Nation of Qin quickly withdrew from the Nation of the Whirlpools, leaving the Uzukage astonished at their efficiency.
The war subsided, and under the powerful deterrence of Qin Yi and the Seven-Tails, along with the intense assault of the Nation of Qin's forces, the Nation of the Whirlpools suffered heavy casualties. This made them acutely aware of the strength of their neighbor.
During the subsequent national merger meeting, no one voiced opposition.
Even the most hot-tempered individuals understood that this was a matter of life and death. Everyone knew how to choose between pride and survival.
Moreover, many of the high-ranking Shinobi who made decisions had already been severely injured by Qin Yi and were lying unconscious in their hospital beds.
After signing the merger agreement with the Nation of the Whirlpools, Qin Yi returned to the Nation of Qin.
As he slowly sat in the seat of the QinKage's office, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and his heart was filled with joy.
"The Nation of the Whirlpools has been annexed, the Nation of Qin has expanded, and the Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques) are now in my possession!"
Looking at the scroll placed on the desk, Qin Yi was very satisfied.
He was well aware that this scroll contained techniques he urgently needed and that were crucial for his future development! With these techniques, he could complete the development of powerful techniques that would greatly assist him.
"The development of the Slash Instant Second Stage and the hand seal techniques can now commence!"
The pseudo-Gudoudama was indeed convenient, but it also had its drawbacks; if it exploded due to a mistake, his status would reset instantly.
"The biggest flaw of this thing is that it's highly flammable and explosive!"
"However, it's fortunate that the Shinobi of the Nation of the Whirlpools were unaware of this, which is why it caused them such significant damage earlier!"
With a smile on his face, Qin Yi felt very pleased.
Because just moments ago, the King's Strength at his forehead had begun to swell and grow. The expansion of the nation made his power increasingly formidable.
Closing his eyes, Qin Yi could sense the figures of the Uzumaki Clan flashing before him.
This signified that the people of the Nation of the Whirlpools had joined his nation, becoming a part of the Kingdom.
