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

"Minato, you've arrived."

Tsunade turned around, her eyes revealing an air of authority and unquestionable authority.

She walked up to the water gate and said directly:

"I'm giving you a mission: you need to go to the mountains to the north."

Upon hearing this, Minato's face showed surprise. He frowned slightly and asked, puzzled:

"Lady Tsunade, why do you want me to take Naruto with me? He's still just a child."

Chapter 415 Ambush by Minato!

Tsunade gave Minato a deep look, a resolute and unwavering glint in her eyes. She spoke slowly, her voice low and powerful:

“This is an order, and I cannot reveal more details. But you must understand that this is a sign of trust in you, and also a test for your son.”

Minato looked at Tsunade's serious expression. Although he still had doubts, he knew that as the Hokage's assistant, Tsunade's words represented the Hokage's will.

He sighed helplessly, nodded, and said:

"I understand, Lady Tsunade. I will take Naruto with me to the northern mountains."

Seeing Minato agree, Tsunade smiled with satisfaction. She patted Minato on the shoulder encouragingly:

"I believe you and Naruto can accomplish this mission. Go, and don't let me down."

Minato bowed deeply, then turned and left the Hokage's office.

His figure gradually disappeared into the night, while Tsunade returned to her desk and continued processing the mountain of documents.

Soon after, faint footsteps could be heard in the distance.

Nangong Yehua slightly opened her eyes and saw Minato and Naruto walking towards the valley.

Their faces were filled with doubt and wariness, clearly unaware of what they were about to face.

Nangong Yehua did not appear immediately; he quietly observed them.

Minato and Naruto walked one after the other along the mountain path. Their figures were exceptionally clear in the moonlight as they talked along the way.

"Naruto, do you know why we're going to the mountains in the north?"

Minato suddenly stopped and turned to look at Naruto, his eyes revealing a hint of seriousness.

Naruto (

"I don't know, Dad. But since you said it, it must be something very important."

Minato nodded, sighed, and said:

"Indeed, this is a very important task. However, I am also somewhat worried about your safety."

Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately straightened his back, a determined expression on his face:

"Dad, don't worry! I'll protect myself. And I want to become stronger, like you, a powerful ninja!"

Looking at Naruto's serious expression, Minato felt a warm feeling well up in his heart.

He smiled and patted Naruto's head, saying:

"Okay, I believe you. But you must remember to stay calm and brave no matter what difficulties you encounter."

Naruto nodded vigorously, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He seemed eager to face the upcoming challenge.

Nangong Yehua quietly observed Minato and Naruto from the shadows, his figure seemingly blending into the night.

Only when the father and son had walked away and were no longer far enough away to protect each other did Nangong Yehua move his fingers.

His body leaped out suddenly like a cheetah, his figure drawing a sharp arc in the air.

Under the moonlight, Nangong Yehua's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He moved like the wind and instantly appeared behind Shuimen.

Without any unnecessary words, his right hand transformed into a streak of cold light, and he swung it out suddenly, slashing at Minato's nape.

With this strike, Nangong Yehua unleashed all his strength, and the force of the blade's tip caused Minato's long hair to flutter backward.

Minato sensed the danger behind him and instinctively rolled forward, avoiding the fatal blow.

Chapter 416 I've been recognized, so I'm stopping pretending.

"who!"

Shuimen rolled to his feet, quickly turned around, and looked warily at Nangong Yehua.

His face was filled with shock; he clearly hadn't expected such a master to suddenly appear on this quiet mountain path.

Nangong Yehua did not answer. He stared coldly at Shuimen, raising his sword again, preparing to launch a second attack.

He knew that this mission had to be completed quickly, without giving Minato any chance to catch his breath.

At that moment, Naruto also noticed the commotion.

He turned around and saw his father fighting fiercely with a man in black, and he became very anxious.

But he also understood that he couldn't rush forward; he could only look for an opportunity to help his father from the sidelines.

Under the cover of night, a fierce battle is unfolding.

The clash between Nangong Yehua and Shuimen was as intense as a collision between Mars and Earth, with each impact unleashing powerful energy fluctuations.

The battle between Nangong Yehua and Shuimen intensified in the quiet night.

At first, the two cautiously tested each other's strength, their swords flashing and clashing under the moonlight, producing a piercing metallic clang.

However, as the battle progressed, Nangong Yehua gradually revealed his superb martial arts skills and unfathomable strength.

In a fierce battle, Nangong Yehua suddenly used the "Shadow Clone Technique," instantly transforming into several figures that attacked Minato from all directions simultaneously.

Upon seeing this, Minato's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly calmed down and skillfully dodged the attacks thanks to his rich combat experience.

However, just as Shuimen was preparing to counterattack, he suddenly realized that Nangong Yehua's attack method seemed somewhat familiar.

He recalled his past encounters with certain masters and immediately understood the other party's identity.

"So it was you, Nangong Yehua!"

Minato exclaimed in surprise.

When Nangong Yehua heard Shuimen call his name, he stopped hiding and put away his shadow clone, revealing his true form.

A cold smile appeared on his face as he said:

"Minato, you are indeed clever. However, knowing my identity now is useless, because you must die here today!"

After saying that, Nangong Yehua launched another fierce attack.

The knife in his hand seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning, drawing dazzling trails across the night sky.

Minato was equally determined, quickly summoning his summoning beast "Gamabunta" and using its powerful strength to engage in a fierce battle with Nangong Yehua.

But unexpectedly, Gamabunta did not appear, and Minato was unaware that Nangong Yehua had already destroyed the entire Mount Myoboku!

The battle between the two intensified, with each collision seemingly capable of causing a landslide.

The surrounding trees were shredded to pieces by their sword energy, and the rocks were shaken and tumbled down.

However, despite Nangong Yehua's strength, Minato also displayed amazing perseverance and fighting skills.

With his superb mastery of ninjutsu and rich combat experience, he repeatedly turned danger into safety and fought Nangong Yehua to a standstill.

Throughout the battle, Minato maintained a vigilant gaze, constantly monitoring Nangong Yehua's movements while also keeping an eye on his son Naruto's safety.

He knew he couldn't fall here, or Naruto would be in great danger.

Therefore, he fought with all his might against Nangong Yehua, hoping to end the battle as soon as possible.

However, Nangong Yehua was no ordinary person either.

Chapter 417 Hiruzen Sarutobi Arrives to Help

He saw through Minato's concerns and worries, and began to exploit this to attack Minato's weaknesses.

He kept attacking Naruto, trying to distract Minato.

Although Minato was anxious, he knew he couldn't lose his composure. While fending off Nangong Yehua's attacks, he signaled to Naruto with his eyes to stay alert.

Naruto watched in horror, but he also understood that he couldn't become a burden to his father.

He clenched his fists tightly, ready to provide support for his father at any moment. However, faced with Nangong Yehua's overwhelming strength, Naruto knew there was not much he could do.

He could only silently pray that his father would defeat the enemy.

The battle lasted a long time, and both were exhausted. However, neither of them showed any intention of giving up.

They knew that this battle concerned the safety of the entire village and their own survival. Therefore, they had to fight with all their might until the very last moment.

Just as the two were about to determine the winner, a figure suddenly flew in from a distance.

That was a ninja wearing the Hokage robes—Hiruzen Sarutobi. He rushed over to provide support after seeing the battle taking place there.

His arrival gave Minato hope. With Hiruzen Sarutobi's help, they fought together against Nangong Yehua, ultimately forcing Nangong Yehua to retreat to one side.

Nangong Yehua was forced to the side by Hiruzen Sarutobi's sudden intervention. He swayed slightly, but quickly regained his footing.

His gaze swept between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato, a cold smile playing on his lips, and he said:

"I didn't expect you to have an accomplice, Minato."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood beside Minato, his eyes fixed on Nangong Yehua, his brows furrowed, clearly feeling the gravity of the situation.

He knew that Nangong Yehua's strength was extraordinary, and the current situation was extremely unfavorable for him and Shuimen.

Nangong Yehua didn't seem to take Hiruzen Sarutobi seriously. He raised his hands, and his fingertips began to shimmer with a faint golden light.

His gaze became unusually sharp, as if it could see through all illusions.

He shouted, "Unfortunately, my formation is complete!"

As he finished speaking, the entire battlefield suddenly became strangely eerie.

The originally bright moonlight seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Asking for flowers

Minato and Hiruzen Sarutobi felt an intense sense of oppression surging from all directions, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

Immediately afterwards, countless sword shadows suddenly emerged from the void, weaving together into a dense sword net that fiercely attacked Minato and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

These sword shadows were extremely fast and incredibly powerful; each one seemed capable of tearing through space.

...

Upon seeing this, Minato and Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately launched a counterattack.

Minato quickly formed hand seals, summoning a massive water dragon that crashed into the sword net; while Hiruzen Sarutobi swung his Hokage staff, unleashing raging flames in an attempt to incinerate the sword shadows.

However, these sword shadows seemed to possess endless vitality, and no matter how they attacked, they could not completely destroy them.

Nangong Yehua stood aside, coldly watching all of this.

He continued to maintain the operation of the formation with both hands, his expression growing increasingly cold.

He knew that this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was his carefully laid trump card, and once activated, no one could stop it.

Under the onslaught of sword shadows, Minato and Hiruzen Sarutobi gradually found themselves locked in a fierce battle.

Chapter 418 Ninjas? Then I'll just have to endure the Immortal Slayer!

Although their attacks were fierce, each one was easily neutralized by the sword shadows.

The sword shadows' attacks grew increasingly fierce, as if they wanted to completely devour them.

Minato's face was covered in sweat, and his eyes were filled with determination and resolve.

He knew he couldn't just fall like this. He took a deep breath, channeled his chakra to its limit, and launched another fierce attack on the sword net.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was equally unyielding, wielding his Hokage staff and unleashing even more powerful flames.

He fought alongside Minato, together battling against this seemingly unsolvable sword formation.

However, just as they were about to run out of chakra, Nangong Yehua suddenly shouted:

"Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation—Destroy!"

As he finished speaking, the entire sword formation suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light.

Countless sword shadows converged in the air into a giant sword of light, slashing towards Minato and Hiruzen Sarutobi with earth-shattering power.
