Naruto Kakashi

As the candles burned out, the room returned to darkness.

A blood-red eye suddenly appeared in the darkness, but was immediately submerged by the darkness.

it's time.

Kakashi, who unlocked the Sharingan seal, stood up and prepared to go to the giant tree to find out.

However, Kakashi did not act rashly. His fingers changed, a burst of energy smoke rose around him, and a figure exactly like Kakashi appeared in the room.

Shadow Clone Technique.

In order to make the shadow clone last longer, Kakashi injected nearly [-]% of the chakra into the clone.

A clone containing [-]% of the chakra content, in Kakashi's opinion, is enough to cope with the average chuunin.

After experiencing the possession of the Great Tengu and the natural growth of the body caused by the sealing of the Sharingan.

Kakashi's current amount of chakra has been greatly improved compared to before leaving the village, with an increase of almost 30.00%.

And this growth is still continuing, but the pace is starting to slow down.

Thirty percent is already the limit estimated by Kakashi, and any more will affect his infiltration plan.

Takigakure Village is a ninja village after all, and it's not that easy to break into.

The reason for leaving a shadow clone was not only to protect Granny Die and Fu, but also to cover up the fact that he secretly sneaked into the Ninja Village.

After all, Kakashi is an outsider. Although he was entrusted by Ito, he will definitely not let Kakashi walk around Takinigakure at will.

There is definitely necessary surveillance.

At least the two Takigakure ninjas at the entrance of the shrine must be responsible for this task.

After the shadow clone was separated, Kakashi used the Ninja Transformation Technique again to transform his body into a Takigakure Village ninja with a public appearance.

With this kind of transformation technique, the secret will basically be revealed as soon as you fight, and you can even detect that it is a disguise without even using your hands.

But at least it ensures that your official identity will not be recognized as soon as you meet.

Under Kakashi's command, the clone walked out of the room first, walked around the shrine, and finally returned to the room.

Using the clone to attract attention, Kakashi's true body took the opportunity to quickly and secretly leave the shrine.

Outside the shrine is a large lush forest.

In other words, except for the shrine and the location of Takigakure Village, the rest of the place is covered with vegetation.

The lush forest looked a bit eerie in the darkness.

But this also provided a perfect cover for Kakashi to sneak in.

Kakashi didn't take it lightly, after all, he was in someone else's ninja village.

Kakashi was wary of possible hidden whistles as he shuttled through the forest, and his movement speed was not very fast.

But Kakashi seemed to have overestimated the protective awareness of Takigakure Village.

Perhaps due to the natural barriers brought by the waterfall, and the fact that Takigakure Village has not experienced a war for a long time, Takigakure Village's awareness of protection is not very strong.

It wasn't until rows of houses appeared in his field of vision that Kakashi saw a group of patrolling ninjas.

Moreover, Kakashi also discovered that Takigakure Village did not have a fence.

Under the gaze of Kakashi's Sharingan, no giant protective barrier like Konoha was found around Takigakure.

Although the awareness of protection outside Takigakure Village is very poor, there is still some protection inside the village.

However, as an ANBU ninja who had participated in the defense of Konoha, Kakashi thought that the defense of Takigakure Village was a bit too crude.

Such lax vigilance, in Kakashi's opinion, is like a third-rate samurai, full of flaws.

However, no matter how bad the samurai is, the sword in his hand can still hurt people. Kakashi naturally understands this truth.

Therefore, he did not act rashly, but instead worked hard to find an opportunity to kill with one strike.

The houses in Takigakure Village are built around giant trees, so if you want to reach the giant tree, you must first pass through the entire Takigakure Village.

After observing carefully for a period of time, a route leading to the giant tree slowly formed in his mind.

Watching a group of patrolling ninjas pass by, Kakashi saw the right moment and rushed out of the forest under the cover of night and went straight to the back of a house.

When he came to the back of the house, he did not stop and immediately continued to rush towards the giant tree without stopping.

Soon Kakashi rushed to the center of the village in one go, and there was only an open space of more than ten meters away from the giant tree.

Kakashi hadn't done such a simple infiltration job for a long time.

Kakashi didn't even use any ninjutsu during this process, relying entirely on his own powerful sneaking skills.

Arriving at the foot of the giant tree, Kakashi felt for himself what it meant to block out the sky, even though there was no daylight here.

Looking from a distance, Kakashi was amazed by the huge size of the giant tree, but it was nowhere near as shocking as being at the foot of the giant tree.

The giant tree was much larger than Kakashi estimated, and there were probably a hundred people surrounding the tree.

The tangled tree roots are churning in the soil, and some thick roots are even exposed to the air, like giant pythons, looking a bit ferocious and terrifying.

But Kakashi wasn't here to pay homage to the giant tree.

Coming here, Kakashi has not yet seen the thing that the Otengu said can enhance the strength of ninjas.

After calling the Daitengu several times to no avail, Kakashi began to survey around the giant tree.

After making a long circle and observing carefully, Kakashi finally found a wooden door under a protruding tree root.

It is said that the root of the tree is actually about the thickness of two people.

The wooden door was well disguised, and under the cover of night, even though Kakashi had the Sharingan, it took him a long time to discover it.

Kakashi naturally cannot enter through the bronze drum wooden door.

However, the location of the secret room was roughly determined through the wooden door. Kakashi immediately used the earth escape and sneak technique and chose to sneak in from the underground.

The underground is covered with the roots of giant trees. At the same time, in order to avoid being discovered by the Takigakure ninja, the chakra fluctuations are deliberately reduced, which makes Kakashi's progress very slow.

Fortunately, Kakashi was not very far from his destination. Soon Kakashi encountered a wall made of earth and rocks.

Moving to the corner of the stone wall, Kakashi carefully removed a stone, and a secret room space of nearly 30 square meters appeared in Kakashi's field of vision.

The space of the secret room is not large, only about thirty square meters, but there are many people in the secret room, including five Takigakure ninjas.

But soon Kakashi's eyes were attracted to a platform in the center of the room, which was also the only object in the room.

There is a palm-sized transparent jade bottle placed on top of the platform.

But what really attracted Kakashi was not it, but the top of it - a thick vine extending from the giant tree, with a precarious drop of water at the tip of the vine.

It was the first time for Kakashi to see this drop of water, but as the Great Tengu said, as long as he saw it, he would know that this drop of water that was about to fall was exactly what the Great Tengu said could enhance the strength of ninjas.

"That's it. With it, I can double your chakra amount." The moment he saw the drop, the voice of the Great Tengu rang in his mind.

Double?The Daitengu's words made Kakashi's heart heat up, and he almost rushed out to drink the water droplets hanging on the vines.

Just when Kakashi was thinking about doubling his chakra, not far from Kakashi's hiding place, the conversation between two Takigakure ninjas caught his attention.

"Finally, another drop of heroic water has been condensed."

"Yes, there is no heroic water in the village, so it doesn't feel very practical."

"Indeed, the last time Nanao's energy leaked, if Elder Matsuki hadn't taken the hero's water, the village would have been destroyed by the tailed beast."

"Yes, but Elder Matsuki also died because of the Heroic Water." Ninja Takigakure's tone was very complicated, seeming to be both fond and fearful.

"But it's all the fault of the old witch in the west shrine. If it weren't for her, Elder Matsuki wouldn't have drank the hero's water, let alone died." Another ninja said angrily, "I don't know why the village chief still stays. In the village.”

"But I heard that monster is coming out again."

"Ah? No." Although he couldn't see the face of this ninja, the horror in his words was enough for Kakashi to imagine.

"I heard this from the seniors on duty at the shrine. It cannot be false."

"Then what should we do?"

"I can only hope that this drop of heroic water will take shape soon."

After a few more nonsense words, the two Takigakure ninjas fell silent.

The conversation between the two Takigakure ninjas taught Kakashi a lot of things.

First of all, this water drop is called hero water.

Moreover, Nanao Shigeaki seemed to have had a riot recently, and Takigakure Village relied on the water of heroes to suppress it at the cost of an elder's life.

From Grandma Die's words, we can know that this kind of thing happened more than once.

It's no wonder that Takigakure Village is in such dire straits that it needs to find a commission.

Slowly looking away from the jade bottle, Kakashi looked at the Takigakure ninja in the room again.

The temptation of doubled chakra was unparalleled, and Kakashi began to think about how to obtain this drop of hero water.

There were a total of five ninjas in the room. With the existing methods, one or two were eliminated in a sneak attack. Kakashi was somewhat confident that he could obtain this drop of heroic water without causing a huge disturbance.

Of course, after obtaining the Hero's Water, Kakashi needs to leave Takigakure Village immediately, and naturally the commission can no longer be completed.

Thinking about the series of chain reactions, Kakashi couldn't help but weigh the pros and cons in his heart.

"It's best not to take action now." As if aware of Kakashi's intention to take action, the voice of the Great Tengu came again, "This water droplet is not fully formed. If it is taken away in advance, it will most likely lose its effectiveness."

"And I also noticed that there is a powerful aura hidden not far from you. It seems to have the same plan as you. I can't detect the specific location, but it is obviously not a ninja from Takigakure Village."

The Daitengu's words made Kakashi frown.

"How long will it take to take shape?"

"About three or four days." The Great Tengu was also a little unsure.

The unformed water droplets were still within Kakashi's acceptance range, but the existence of competitors made Kakashi wary.
