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

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said softly:

"I understand. I believe you, Nangong. Perhaps I was too impatient. After all, time will tell."

Just then, Mei Terumi seemed to sense the subtle change in the atmosphere and immediately broke the silence with her characteristically lively tone:

Asking for flowers

"That's right, that's right, Tsunade-neechan, don't worry too much! Lord Hashirama is so powerful, he'll definitely be alright. Come on, see what goodies I brought you!"

As she spoke, Mei Terumi took out carefully selected items from the bag she carried with her, her face beaming with pride and joy.

She first took out a well-made doll, whose adorable appearance made people smile.

"Look, this is the latest Konoha Village doll. I think it's especially suitable for Tsunade because it looks both strong and gentle."

Next, she displayed several exquisite ninja tools, each revealing the craftsman's dedication and ingenuity:

“These are things I saw at the market that I thought might be helpful for your mission. Nangong, your dart throwing skills are so good, you'll definitely like this specially made dart.”

Finally, Mei Terumi didn't forget to share her treasure trove of snacks:

"Of course, there are also these snacks, which I specially picked out for you. Eating sweets can improve your mood, Tsunade-neechan, try this, maybe it will help you forget your troubles!" (Tsunade)

Chapter 608 I want a fish and egg dish

With Mei Terumi's lively words and the appearance of the adorable Konoha Village doll in her hand.

Tsunade's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared at the corners of her lips. That smile was like a flower blooming for the first time in spring.

The warm and bright atmosphere instantly dispelled the dullness and anxiety that had filled the office.

Seeing this, Mei Terumi's eyes sparkled with pride and joy, as if her small efforts had truly brought happiness to her friend.

"Three, four, three." "Haha, Tsunade-neechan, see? I told you this doll suits you perfectly! It's practically a microcosm of you, possessing both unyielding strength and feminine gentleness and delicacy."

As Mei Terumi spoke, she gently placed the doll in Tsunade's palm, and at that moment, the doll seemed to be given life.

With its endearing appearance, it silently conveys warmth and comfort.

Tsunade looked down at the doll in her hand, her smile widening. She gently stroked the doll's head, a tenderness in her eyes.

"Yes, it really does look like me."

Her voice softened considerably, carrying a rare sense of ease and joy.

Seeing this, Nangong Yehua couldn't help but laugh. He stood up, walked to the table, and took out some exquisite snacks from the bag that Terumi Mei had brought.

They were handed to Tsunade and Mei Terumi respectively.

"Come on, try these. They're all carefully selected by me. I guarantee you'll want more."

His voice was gentle and magnetic, as if it could soothe all the troubles in people's hearts.

The three of them sat around the round conference table in the Hokage's office, with all sorts of snacks scattered on the table, and an enticing aroma filling the air.

Tsunade picked up a delicate pastry, took a small bite, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.

Mei Terumi, on the other hand, seemed to have discovered a new continent, and she couldn't put down the specially made darts that Nangong Yehua brought.

While studying the structure of the dart, he also took the time to snack from time to time, making mumbled exclamations of praise.

Seeing his two friends so happy, Nangong Yehua felt a warmth in his heart. He decided to add fuel to the fire and let this joy continue.

"Hey you guys, you know what? I recently heard a super funny joke, want to hear it?"

His words carried a hint of playfulness and anticipation.

"Of course I want to! Nangong, tell me quickly!"

Mei Terumi was the first to respond. She put down the dart in her hand, her eyes wide with anticipation as she looked at Nangong Yehua.

Although Tsunade didn't speak, her eyes revealed a hint of curiosity and anticipation.

Nangong Yehua cleared his throat and began to tell his joke: "One day, a dolphin walked into a restaurant. It went to the counter and said to the waiter:"

"I'd like a fish and egg stir-fry!" The waiter looked at it in surprise.

Q: Are you sure? This is a human restaurant. The dolphin nodded and said seriously, "Yes, I just want a fish and egg stir-fry!"

At this point, Nangong Yehua couldn't help but laugh, a hearty and infectious laugh.

Mei Terumi laughed so hard she was doubled over, almost unable to breathe. She slapped the table between laughs, repeatedly shouting:

Tsunade was also amused by this unexpected joke, although she didn't laugh as exaggeratedly as Mei Terumi.

But the smile in her eyes was much more pronounced, and her whole demeanor became gentler and more approachable.

Chapter 609 Madara Uchiha's Visit

Just as the three of them—Tsunade, Nangong Yehua, and Terumi Mei—were laughing heartily and enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.

A sudden knock on the door extinguished the cheerful atmosphere inside like cold water.

Tsunade's smile froze instantly, and her eyes, which had witnessed countless battles and hardships, quickly regained their usual seriousness and vigilance.

She uttered a single word softly:

"Enter."

The door slowly opened, and a guard dressed in a Konoha ninja uniform entered the room. His steps were steady, and his eyes revealed a well-trained calmness and vigilance.

He first quickly scanned the three people in the room, especially when his gaze fell on the two outsiders, Nangong Yehua and Zhao Meiming.

A fleeting, almost imperceptible scrutiny crossed her eyes. Tsunade keenly caught this detail.

She smiled gently and said in a tone that was both authoritative and kind:

"It's alright, go ahead and talk, we're all on the same side."

The guard nodded slightly in respect and understanding. He cleared his throat and began his report:

“A person came downstairs. He claimed to be… and looked like Uchiha Madara. He also said he wanted to see Lord Nangong Yehua.”

"Uchiha Madara!" Tsunade's voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, and even Nangong Yehua and Terumi Mei, who were standing next to her, showed expressions of surprise.

This name is renowned throughout Konoha and even the entire ninja world.

Madara Uchiha, who co-founded Konoha with Hashirama Senju.

The legendary ninja, who split due to ideological differences and ultimately embarked on a path of betrayal, undoubtedly caused a huge shock with his appearance.

Tsunade quickly considered all the possibilities in her mind. Madara Uchiha's appearance was no accident; he must have some purpose.

Moreover, he specifically asked to see Nangong Yehua. What deeper meaning lies behind this?

Tsunade knew that every decision at this moment was crucial, and the slightest mistake could plunge the entire Hidden Leaf Village into an unpredictable crisis.

"Did he come alone? Was he carrying any weapons? Was anyone else around?"

Tsunade's series of questions demonstrated her composure and decisiveness as Hokage.

The guard quickly replied:

"From what we can see, he came alone and did not carry any obvious weapons, but we cannot be sure whether he is hiding his strength."

"We have already set up hidden sentries around the area, and they will report any unusual situations immediately."

Tsunade nodded, having already formed a preliminary judgment in her mind. She looked at Nangong Yehua, her eyes flashing with complex emotions:

"Nangong, it seems your arrival has caused quite a stir. Uchiha Madara... what is his purpose in coming here?"

Nangong Yehua smiled slightly. Despite facing a formidable enemy like Uchiha Madara, there was no fear in his eyes.

"Perhaps he came looking for answers, or perhaps... he came to cause trouble."

Mei Terumi stood to the side, though her understanding of Madara Uchiha wasn't as deep as Tsunade's and Nangong Yehua's.

But she could also sense the tense atmosphere in the air. She said softly:

"Whatever his purpose may be, we must be prepared. The peace of Konoha cannot be lost."

Tsunade took a deep breath, stood up, and her gaze was firm:

“That’s right, peace in Konoha is our shared responsibility. Guard, go and inform the Anbu to increase vigilance.”

"Also, prepare a meeting room; I want to meet this Uchiha Madara personally."

Chapter 610 Mei Terumi, just wait patiently!

Upon hearing Tsunade's instructions, the guard responded quickly and respectfully:

"Understood, I'll go prepare right away."

His voice was firm and powerful, revealing his absolute obedience to Tsunade's orders and his serious attitude toward the impending events.

He turned and walked steadily away from the Hokage's office, each step so firm, as if each step carried his responsibility for the safety of Konoha.

As the guards left, the atmosphere in the office became even more subtle.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Mei Terumi's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. She looked at Nangong Yehua and Tsunade, a complex smile playing on her lips.

That smile contained both a calm acceptance of the unknown challenges and concern for the safety of his friends.

"Then you guys go ahead, I won't go. I can say that I'm a little afraid of Uchiha Madara."

Mei Terumi's words carried a hint of self-deprecation, but more so a frankness about reality.

She knew that it was normal to feel even a little bit of fear when facing a legendary figure like Uchiha Madara.

But more importantly, she believed that Tsunade and Nangong Yehua were capable enough to face all of this.

Upon hearing Terumi Mei's words, Nangong Yehua's lips curled up slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"Coward, you stay here. Tsunade and I are going to meet Madara Uchiha and see what he can do."

His tone was somewhat relaxed, but the determination in his eyes was undeniable.

Nangong Yehua knew that retreating was not an option when faced with such a challenge.

He believed that whatever Madara Uchiha's purpose was, he and Tsunade were capable of dealing with it.

Tsunade looked at Nangong Yehua and Terumi Mei, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She understood Mei Terumi's concerns and admired Nangong Yehua's courage. As Hokage, she had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting Konoha, no matter what challenges she faced.

"Okay, let's go. Mei Terumi, you stay here."

Tsunade's words carried a touch of gentleness, but also an undeniable firmness.

She knew that her decision concerned not only her own honor, but also the peace and security of Konoha.

After Tsunade finished speaking, Nangong Yehua and Tsunade stood up together.

Their figures appeared exceptionally tall in the afterglow of the setting sun, like two unyielding mountain peaks guarding Konoha Village behind them.

They glanced at each other, their eyes shining with unwavering determination—a testament to their trust in one another and their courage in facing the challenges to come.

Nangong Yehua and Tsunade walked out of the Hokage's office side by side, their steps steady and powerful, each step seemingly declaring their determination and courage to the world.

As they left, Mei Terumi's gaze followed them, her eyes filled with both worry and admiration.

She knew that although she chose to stay in the office, her heart was always with Tsunade and Nangong Yehua.

As Nangong Yehua and Tsunade's figures gradually disappeared into the distance, the Hokage's office returned to its usual tranquility.

But this peace was only temporary, because everyone knew that the appearance of Madara Uchiha had disrupted the original balance.

Mei Terumi sat in her office, her mind racing. She imagined the scene of Tsunade and Nangong Yehua meeting with Uchiha Madara.

She imagined the conversations and conflicts that might occur between them. She knew that this meeting was not only about the safety of Tsunade and Nangong Yehua, but also about the future of Konoha.

Chapter 611 Uchiha Madara: Shall we fight?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Hokage Building, the Anbu ninjas had received Tsunade's orders and were making preparations in full swing.

They knew that they could not afford to be complacent in the slightest when facing an enemy like Madara Uchiha.

Their eyes shone with unwavering determination—a testament to their loyalty to Konoha and their thirst for victory.

On the top floor of the Hokage Building, Tsunade and Nangong Yehua had already arrived at the conference room.

They stood by the window, overlooking the entire Hidden Leaf Village. The setting sun cast its golden rays upon them, adding a touch of sanctity and solemnity to their figures.

Nangong Yehua and Tsunade stood side by side in front of the window of the Hokage Building's conference room, their shadows stretched long in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Projected onto the smooth ground, they resemble two statues guarding Konoha.

The atmosphere in meeting room 60 was heavy and tense, with a sense of impending doom permeating the air.
