The presence of a hidden enemy, someone on par with Senju Hashirama, weighed heavily on Qin Yi's mind.

  "Who could it be?"

  "What are their iions?"

  Questions swirled in his thoughts as he remained vigint, careful to avoid any rash as. An enemy of that caliber, lurking in the shadows, likely had specific reasons for their presence. Provocation could easily escate the situation unnecessarily.

  They resumed resting and rec their chakra. With a powerful enemy nearby, it was crucial to restore their strength as quickly as possible.

  An hour passed in the blink of an eye. Having sustained no injuries, they had fully recovered.

  "Inform the soldiers that we are about to depart."

  "We are nearing our destination. We will push forward without stopping a once we reach our target location."

  Qin Yi instructed the Three Generals.

  The three nodded and quickly reyed the orders.

  Soon, loud ands echoed through the camp, and the six-thousand-strong army rose to its feet, marg forward.

  Qin Yi and the generals led the way, while Gandalf's staff tio flicker, indig the enemy's tinued presence.

  However, over the hree days, the hidden enemy remained cealed, seemingly tent to travel in the same dire.

  By noon ohird day, Qin Yi and the others could faintly hear the sound of waves.

  "We're here!" Yang Yi excimed excitedly.

  He quickly dispatched scouts to iigate. Within ten mihe scouts returned, leaping down from the trees.

  "Rep to Your Majesty, the sea is visible about four kilometers ahead!"

  "However, the small isnd we inally po reach is still ahree li to the south!" the scout reported solemnly, saluting.

  Qin Yi heir journey had taken a somewhat winding path, resulting in a slight deviation from their inal target. Fortunately, the distance was not signifit.

  "Increase the pace. We're close to our destination."

  After addressing the generals, Qin Yi and the others tiheir march.

  Within half an hour, they reached their destination.

  Ahead of them, about a kilometer away, an isnd emerged from the horizon. They could vaguely dis mountains on the isnd, and the crashing waves created a deafening roar.

  The isnd was densely forested, teeming with life. Standing there, they could almost hear the sounds emanating from the isnd.

  The weather erfect, with clear visibility. They could evehe sery on the opposite side of the isnd.

  "We've finally arrived!" A smile graced Qin Yi's face.

  Finding a pce to settle aramount after arriving in the Naruto World. Only by establishing their owory could they y the foundation for their future and, in turn, save those in peril.

  The soldiers who had e to the Otherworld could return through the Realm Gate. However, uhey were on the verge of death or severely ihey had to petition Qin Yi for permission to return.

  Otherwise, the only way to return was to establish a Realm Gate proje iherworld.

  To establish a Realm Gate proje, the most fual requirement was a fixed territory and a national framework!

  Now, Qin Yi stood with six thousand soldiers fag the isnd. This meant they were on the verge of acquiring ownership of the isnd and, in turn, possessing the most fual right of nation-building: territorial snty.

  Establishing a nation was the erstone of nation-building, the most crucial initial step. As the nation prospered, its popution, ey, cities, aory would expand, and the King's power, authority, and skills would also grow stronger.

  Until the final day, wheion was successfully established and the King's Way was realized, Qin Yi would be able te the Otherworld nation with his own world, creating a proje nation.

  That would mark the dawn of the King and the growth of the King's World.

  "Inquire among the soldiers if anyone possesses boat-building skills."

  "We will struct boats aowards the isnd," Qin Yi instructed.

  Swimming the kilometer to the isnd was out of the question. Building boats on the spot aing for a while was the most practical approach.

  Fag the first step towards establishing a nation iherworld, Qin Yi was filled with excitement.

  "Once we occupy this isnd, the people of our nation will be saved!"

  "By establishing the Realm Gate and eg the two worlds, we quickly achieve mutual be!"

  From that point forward, the establishment and development of the nation would accelerate.

  Qin Yi would effectively govern a nation spanning two dimensions.

  Iy, within the King's World, powerful Kings ruled over their own realms, possessing vast nations that spanned multiple dimensions. Even a mid-tier Kingdom's territory, when bined, would be unimaginable, extending beyond a single p and enpassiire sor systems or even multiple sor systems.

  Betwees, vast stretches of vacuum existed, but a King's nation did not o be strained by such distahey utilized Realm Gate projes to ect, achieving true interdimensional access.

  Even with a rudimentary uanding of the King's World's worldview, Qin Yi deeply uood that this was an exaggerated, terrifying, and unimaginably vast world!

  Saints, God Immortals, deities— many of these were merely entities within a King's national civilization!

  Ultimately, a King's nation enpassed all heavens and myriad realms. Their Kingdom's territory was not measured by dista by dimensions!

  The soldiers, trained in chakra, worked effitly, strug a siderable number of boats within a few hours.

  "Order the soldiers to proceed to the isnd. The scouts will go first!" Qin Yi anded.

  A hundred scouts— agile and intelligent individuals— set off in simple boats.

  The army stood in formation, watg the hundred soldiers with solemnity and anticipation.

  After about ten mihe soldiers nded on the isnd and vanished into the forest.

  Qin Yi and the others waited patiently.

  Five mier, several figures emerged, waving to Qin Yi and the others.

  "All clear! No enemies detected!"

  Instantly, smiles appeared on the faces of Qin Yi and the others. He waved his hand.

  "Land on the isnd!" Qin Yi was the first to board a boat, and the soldiers rowed swiftly towards the isnd.

  At this moment, he was filled with excitement. Ohey set foot on this isnd, the first piece of territory for the Kingdom iherworld would be secured!

  In the shadows, Uchiha Madara observed this se with fusion.

  "What is this kid pnning to do with these people?"

  "It's just an isnd. Why do they all look so excited?"

  "Is there some deeper meaning behind this?"

  The more he observed, the more perplexing Qin Yi and his group became.
