Crossover: The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, starting with cultivation with the Six Flowers Im

Yi Nangong Yehua felt a pang of anxiety, but he quickly regained his composure.

He knew he couldn't reveal any flaws, or his identity would be exposed. So, he deliberately pretended to be relaxed and continued his painting.

The nine patrolling ninjas approached Nangong Yehua. The leader of the ninjas looked him up and down, his voice filled with wariness:

"Who are you? Where are you from? What are you doing in the Four Leaf Village? Are you a rogue ninja?!"

Nangong Yehua was prepared, and he replied with a smile:

“My name is Daqian, and I come from the Land of Water. I am a street artist. I was traveling and painting when I passed by here. I thought the scenery of Konoha Village was very beautiful, so I stopped and painted a few pictures.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the painting he had just finished.

The patrolling ninjas looked at Nangong Yehua's painting, and then carefully examined his clothing and demeanor.

They found that Daqian's words and actions were indeed like those of an artist, rather than a dangerous traitor.

The leading ninja nodded, but his face remained wary.

"Alright, Mr. Daqian. But I must remind you, Konoha Village is a peaceful place, but there are also some lawless individuals lurking in the shadows."

"Please remain vigilant while you are here and do not talk to strangers."

Nangong Yehua quickly nodded in agreement, indicating that he would be careful. Seeing that he showed no signs of distress, the patrolling ninjas turned and left.

After the patrolling ninjas had gone far away, Nangong Yehua breathed a long sigh of relief.

He knew he had just successfully fooled the patrolling Konoha ninja, but it was only temporary. He had to be more careful to avoid being discovered by the rest of Konoha.

So, Nangong Yehua continued to sit there and draw.

He appeared to be earnestly describing the scenery of Konoha Village, but in reality, he was secretly observing everyone around him.

He noticed that most of the residents of Konoha Village were dressed in simple clothes and had friendly smiles on their faces.

They were busy with their own affairs; some were working in the fields, some were hawking their wares in shops, and some children were playing in the streets.

The entire village presented a harmonious and peaceful scene.

While observing the situation in Konoha Village, Nangong Yehua pondered his next move.

He knew that to learn more about Mount Myōboku, he had to delve into the heart of Konoha Village.

However, that is also the place where the Konoha ninjas patrol the most closely, and they can be discovered if they are not careful.

Therefore, he must find a suitable time and method to successfully enter the core area of ​​Konoha Village.

As time went by, Nangong Yehua gradually gained a better understanding of the situation in Konoha Village.

By observing the villagers' words, actions, and ways of interacting, he gained a deeper understanding of the culture and customs of Konoha Village.

At the same time, he also discovered several people who might be Konoha ninjas and secretly memorized their characteristics and whereabouts.

Finally, at dusk, Nangong Yehua found a suitable opportunity.

He skillfully avoided the patrol routes of the Konoha ninja and successfully entered the core area of ​​Konoha.

There, he found a secluded corner and began to quietly wait for his opportunity to arrive...

Chapter 400 The Eavesdropping Storm: The Hokage's Office

As night fell, a figure silently appeared in the shadows behind the Hokage Building in Konoha Village.

Like a nimble cheetah, Nangong Yehua clung to the wall and slowly climbed up to the second-floor window.

Tsunade frowned, her hands clasped on the table, her tone tinged with worry.

"According to intelligence, Jiraiya-sama and Minato-sensei have already fought with Nangong Yehua."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's eyes sharpened, and he hurriedly asked:

"How is the result?"

"Teacher Minato was better, but fortunately Nangong Yehua left in the end."

Tsunade continued, a hint of relief in her voice.

"Otherwise, if Minato-sensei can't maintain his fighting strength, it will be dangerous."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Kakashi's eyes.

He knew the strength of Minato and Jiraiya well; even the two of them together couldn't defeat Nangong Yehua, which showed how powerful this enemy was.

He pondered for a moment, then looked up at Tsunade and said firmly:

"We must activate high-level security and not allow any suspects to enter Konoha."

Tsunade nodded in agreement:

"Any other information, Kakashi?"

"have,"

Kakashi replied,

"According to Jiraiya-sama's deduction, Nangong Yehua's goal should be to take all the tailed beasts for himself."

"The known tails that have one tail, two tails, three tails, eight tails, and six tails have all been obtained by Nangong Yehua."

"There is still news that the Four-Tails, Five-Tails, Seven-Tails, and Nine-Tails have not been attacked."

When the Nine-Tails was mentioned, Kakashi's gaze couldn't help but fall on Tsunade's face.

He knew all too well the importance of the Nine-Tails to Konoha, and that Tsunade, as Hokage, bore a heavy burden. He asked softly:

"The Nine-Tails is with Naruto and Minato. Shouldn't we tell them to be more careful lately?"

Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Tsunade's eyes. She nodded and said in a deep voice, "

Yes, I will have Naruto and Minato on high alert. Nangong Yehua is not to be underestimated; we must be fully prepared.

After hearing this, Kakashi was also filled with determination.

He knew full well that as an elite ninja of Konoha, he bore the heavy responsibility of protecting the village. He stood up, bowed to Tsunade, and said:

"I understand, Lady Tsunade. I will increase patrols and vigilance to ensure the safety of the village."

As Tsunade watched Kakashi's departing figure, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She knew that in this time of crisis, every ninja in Konoha would unite as one to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

At that moment, Nangong Yehua, who was outside the window, also heard the conversation inside the office.

He was secretly shocked, not expecting that his actions had been discovered by Konoha Village.

He took a deep breath, slowly climbed down from the window, and disappeared into the night.

As night deepened, Konoha Village appeared exceptionally peaceful under the moonlight.

However, the appearance of Nangong Yehua brought a sense of unease to this tranquility.

He knew that his actions had alerted Konoha Village, and that the road ahead would be even more difficult.

But he also knew that his purpose and determination would not change because of any difficulties.

Nangong Yehua will continue on her journey until she achieves her goal.

Konoha Village is also prepared to meet any challenge.

Chapter 401 Oh no! Nangong Yehua attacks Tsunade!

The night was as dark as ink, enveloping Konoha Village. Nangong Yehua quietly followed Tsunade's figure, passing through the bustling streets, and finally arrived at a brightly lit casino.

He hid in the shadows, his gaze fixed on Tsunade's back, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

The casino was bustling with noise and filled with smoke. Tsunade, dressed in a black kimono, walked steadily into the casino.

She looked around, a hint of excitement on her face, as if she were looking forward to the game that was about to begin.

Nangong Yehua observed from a distance, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected that Tsunade, the Hokage, would linger in such a place.

Time passed slowly, and the lights inside the casino gradually dimmed.

Tsunade seemed to have tired of playing. She stood up with a satisfied smile on her face.

She walked out of the casino and turned to enter a sake bar. Nangong Yehua followed closely behind, but doubts began to creep into her heart.

He couldn't help but wonder if such a person was really capable of serving as Hokage.

Inside the sake shop, Tsunade sat alone in a corner, with several empty sake bottles in front of her.

She picked up her wine glass, swirling it gently, her eyes gleaming with a dreamy light. Nangong Yehua stood outside the door, observing Tsunade's every move through the crack in the window.

He saw Tsunade sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning in thought, as if she were savoring the sweet, sour, bitter and spicy flavors of the wine.

As time passed, Tsunade finally stood up and staggered out of the sake shop.

She walked unsteadily down the street, her face slightly flushed with intoxication.

Nangong Yehua followed closely behind, his doubts growing stronger. He began to question the feasibility of his plan and whether he should continue to kidnap Tsunade.

However, just as Nangong Yehua was hesitating, Tsunade had already returned to her residence—a magnificent building located in the center of Konoha Village.

This building is one of the iconic buildings of Konoha Village and was Tsunade's residence when she was Hokage.

Nangong Yehua quietly followed her to the second-floor window of the building. Through the crack in the window, she saw Tsunade sleeping soundly.

Tsunade lay on a large bed, her face serene, as if she had forgotten her earlier drunkenness.

Her hair lay loosely on the pillow, appearing exceptionally soft. Looking at this scene, Nangong Yehua felt a strange sensation welling up inside her.

He suddenly realized that he actually felt a sense of respect for this woman he considered an enemy.

He recalled everything he had seen in the casino and sake bar, and couldn't help but sigh.

Although Tsunade enjoys gambling and drinking, she never forgets her responsibilities and mission.

She has always protected the safety and prosperity of Konoha Village as the Hokage. Nangong Yehua deeply admires her for her perseverance and tenacity.

However, Nangong Yehua knew she could not forget her purpose.

He took a deep breath, a sharp glint in his eyes. He decided to risk taking Tsunade hostage.

Nangong Yehua gently pushed open the window and jumped in, then cautiously approached Tsunade's bedside.

Nangong Yehua reached out to tie Tsunade up, but he suddenly stopped.

Looking at Tsunade's peaceful sleeping face, Nangong Yehua felt a strange emotion welling up inside him.

Nangong Yehua realized that even for her own purposes, she could not harm this innocent woman.

Nangong Yehua sighed softly, then silently left the room and disappeared into the night.

Standing in the night, Nangong Yehua gazed at the building where Tsunade was, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Chapter 402: A Part of the Kidnapping Tsunade Plan

As night deepened, after a period of inner struggle, Nangong Yehua finally made up her mind.

He quietly slipped into Tsunade's room again, taking each step with extreme care, afraid of waking the sleeping Tsunade.

Inside the room, moonlight streamed through the cracks in the window, illuminating Tsunade's serene face.

A complex emotion welled up in Nangong Yehua's heart, but he quickly suppressed it and focused his mind to begin casting his secret technique.

He formed hand seals and silently chanted a spell. An invisible force surged from his palms and quietly enveloped Tsunade's body.

Tsunade seemed to be in a dream, her brows furrowed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and fell into a deep coma.

Nangong Yehua took a deep breath and moved quickly and decisively.

He gently helped Tsunade up from the bed, then took out a rope and tightly bound her hands and feet.

He tried to be as gentle as possible, without making any noise.

After finishing, Nangong Yehua carried Tsunade on his back and quietly left the room.

He headed north, passing through the streets of Konoha Village, avoiding the patrolling ninjas.

His heart pounded in the night, but he tried to stay calm and not let any emotions cloud his judgment.

Soon, Nangong Yehua arrived at a secluded cave. After looking around and confirming that there was no danger, he led Tsunade into the cave.

The cave was dark and damp, but Nangong Yehua was used to such an environment. He found a relatively dry spot and gently laid Tsunade down.

Nangong Yehua sat on the ground, gazing at Tsunade's face. Her expression remained serene, as if she were completely unaware of what was about to happen.

A strange emotion welled up in Nangong Yehua's heart, but he quickly suppressed it. He knew that he could not waver or hesitate in the slightest.
