Uchiha Kaede cautiously moved between the buildings of Takigakure, using his Sharingan to observe his surroundings and avoid detection.
He knew that the water of heroism held immense significance for Ninja, which was why he had risked infiltrating the village.
Finally, he located a cave that he suspected contained the water of heroism. Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly sensed a powerful Chakra fluctuation.
He quickly hid in the shadows, watching as a Takigakure Ninja master appeared at the cave entrance to patrol. Uchiha Kaede held his breath, calculating how to evade this master.
After the master turned and left for a moment, he used the Body Flicker Technique to quickly rush into the cave.
A mysterious aura permeated the cave. By the faint light, he saw a container emitting a strange glow, which he presumed held the water of heroism.
Just as his hand was about to touch the target, suddenly, as if by magic, countless traps and mechanisms surged forth like a tide!
These traps were extremely cleverly hidden; if he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been injured instantly.
Facing such a sudden crisis, he dared not be careless in the slightest. He immediately focused his mind, activating the powerful Sharingan within him.
With the unique insight and predictive abilities of the Sharingan, he could clearly see the trajectories of the various hidden weapons, arrows, and other deadly armaments launched by the traps.
However, even with the help of the Sharingan, completely avoiding such dense attacks was by no means easy.
He moved nimbly, dodging left and right, sometimes leaping high, sometimes rolling low, each movement perfectly evading the incoming dangers.
But even so, some hidden weapons grazed him, bringing sharp pangs of pain.
At the same time, his mind raced, desperately trying to figure out how to break through this seemingly impenetrable defense and successfully obtain the legendary water of heroism.
Just as Uchiha Kaede hesitated, he suddenly noticed that the attacks from these mechanisms seemed to follow a certain pattern.
After each wave of attacks, there would be a brief pause. He gritted his teeth, deciding to use this interval to rush forward.
As another wave of attacks ended, he dashed towards the water of heroism at his fastest speed.
But after only a few steps, he suddenly triggered a new mechanism underfoot, and a burst of flames erupted from the ground. He quickly jumped back, the flames singeing the corner of his clothes.
At this moment, an idea struck him. He took out several Kunai from his Ninja tool pouch, infused them with Chakra, and shot them at several key parts of the mechanisms.
With several metallic clangs, some of the mechanisms stopped functioning. Seizing this opportunity, he rushed towards the water of heroism again. This time, he successfully reached the container and unhesitatingly picked up the vessel containing the water of heroism.
In an instant, all the mechanisms ceased their attacks, and the cave returned to tranquility. Uchiha Kaede looked at the water of heroism in his hand and revealed a smile.
No sooner had Uchiha Kaede breathed a sigh of relief than he heard a cacophony of footsteps from outside the cave.
He cursed inwardly, realizing that the Takigakure Ninja must have discovered the theft of the water of heroism. He tightened his grip on the container, activating his Sharingan and becoming vigilant.
Soon, a group of Takigakure Ninja surrounded him in the cave. The leading Ninja roared, "Outsider! Put down the water of heroism, or today will be your last day!"
Uchiha Kaede quickly formed hand signs and unleashed Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique at his enemies. The Takigakure Ninja scattered to dodge, while also launching various Ninjutsu in return.
During the battle, Uchiha Kaede realized that his opponents were numerous and well-coordinated, and he was gradually losing the upper hand.
Suddenly, he thought that the power of the water of heroism might temporarily boost his strength. However, he remembered that the water of heroism seemed to carry risks.
Uchiha Kaede suppressed the pain and let out a loud shout, as several phantoms appeared simultaneously, making it difficult for the Takigakure Ninja to cope for a moment.
The pain caused his movements to slow slightly, and the Takigakure Ninja seized the opportunity to jointly unleash a powerful Water Release Ninjutsu.
A massive torrent of water surged towards him. Uchiha Kaede couldn't dodge in time and was struck in the abdomen, sending him flying backward to crash against the cave wall.
Blood spilled from his mouth, yet his gaze remained firm. Enduring the intense pain, he stood up again, rapidly forming hand signs.
At this moment, his Sharingan spun wildly, but just as the Ninjutsu was about to be unleashed, Uchiha Kaede felt his vision go black, and his legs gave out, causing him to fall forward.
It turned out that the previous injuries, combined with this latest one, had completely exhausted his stamina.
Just then, Kaede saw a rock formation on the cave ceiling that appeared relatively fragile. He mustered all his strength to unleash a powerful Lightning Release Ninjutsu, striking the weak rock on the ceiling.
Huge boulders fell, and dust billowed, causing many Takigakure Ninja who couldn't dodge in time to be crushed and injured.
Uchiha Kaede seized the chance to break through the encirclement and vanished from the sight of the Takigakure Ninja.
He gritted his teeth, exerting every ounce of his strength, his legs like springs as he sprinted wildly along the rugged mountain path.
His figure was like a black lightning bolt, tearing through the silent night sky, accompanied by a whistling wind.
The stones under his feet scattered, making crackling sounds that were particularly harsh in the quiet night.
After running for an unknown duration and crossing several mountain peaks, Uchiha Kaede finally found a hidden spot deep within a dense jungle.
It was a naturally formed cave, its entrance obscured by thick vines, making it difficult to discover the hidden haven from the outside.
He plunged in without hesitation, then quickly turned around, carefully rearranging the vines at the entrance to ensure no obvious traces were left behind.
Clutching the container of the water of heroism tightly, he leaned against the damp, uneven rock wall of the cave, his chest heaving violently as he gasped for breath.
Kaede squinted slightly, his unique Sharingan faintly glowing with an eerie red light in the dark cave. By this dim light, he carefully examined the water of heroism in his hand.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his hands, which were trembling slightly from tension and anticipation.
His already deep and sharp Sharingan eyes now blazed with an intense light, as if expressing his extreme craving for power.
After a brief pause, Uchiha Kaede slowly raised the container in his hand and poured the water onto his hand.
Indeed, he intended to directly absorb the energy from the water of heroism.
When the cool liquid touched his hand, he immediately activated his absorption ability, and a strange sensation instantly spread throughout his body, as if a mysterious force was gently tapping every inch of his skin, awakening the latent energy within his body.
In an instant, a surging, overwhelming power raged within him like a breached flood.
The power was hot and wild, roaring through his meridians, and wherever it went, it seemed to ignite blazing flames, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.
His muscles began to swell and contract rapidly; each muscle seemed to be infused with endless vitality, becoming tighter and more powerful, as if forged from steel.
His originally somewhat slender physique, now reshaped by this power, gradually exuded a robust and formidable aura.
His bones also creaked, as if undergoing a complete metamorphosis.
His original bone structure, under the influence of this mysterious power, became more resilient, capable of withstanding even stronger impacts, as if it had been reforged into divine weaponry.
And his Sharingan underwent astonishing changes. His already unique red eyes now glowed intensely, like two burning flames swirling in his eye sockets.
Uchiha Kaede clearly felt that the power of his eyes had been greatly enhanced.
The mysterious energy left behind after Shisui's death finally erupted now!
