Chapter 132: Number One Beautiful Back In The Ninja World
“That water cannot be drunk!”
The group just glanced at Yoru once before continuing toward the Crescent Small Lake.
Yoru quickened his pace a few steps and blocked their path.
The leading girl had very strange hair color, blue-green on the top half and yellow at the tips.
In the hot desert, she dressed very lightly, exposing her shoulders and arms, waist, but not tanned at all, extremely white.
This girl’s physique was very special.
“This water cannot be drunk; it’s clearly highly toxic at a glance. If you want to drink water and leave here, go find another oasis.”
The girl looked at Yoru’s chapped lips and said, “Thanks for the reminder, but no need to worry. I have a way; I can get water to drink.”
Yoru was stunned. He turned to look at the purple Crescent Small Lake, then back at the girl.
If you can get water to drink, wouldn’t my poison be wasted?
Yoru became interested and followed along, wanting to see what the girl would do.
The girl knelt lakeside, holding her hands suspended above the lake surface.
Soon, the purple lake surface began emitting hot steam, then started boiling.
Yoru was very puzzled. Why could this girl heat the water, and this heating method didn’t seem like Fire Release; it was more like some kind of evaporation ability.
A child placed a water basin over the girl’s hands, also covering the water vapor.
Soon, a thin layer of condensed water droplets from the vapor formed in the basin.
The child removed the basin and collected the condensed water droplets from the vapor in it, pouring them into another basin.
The girl, with the three children, laboriously evaporated the water mist.
Yoru went up and inquired, “What’s your name?”
“Ye Cang.”
Ye Cang? Scorching Release Ye Cang?
Looking at Ye Cang’s hair color, Yoru confirmed that this girl would later become the Hidden Sand Village’s elite jonin, Scorching Release Ye Cang.
Just didn’t know why, Ye Cang hadn’t entered the Hidden Sand Village yet at this time and was a commoner of the Land of Wind.
The Hidden Sand Village seemed to have no legacy of the Scorching Release bloodline limit; perhaps the Hidden Sand Village had only accidentally obtained this bloodline limit.
After half an hour, they managed to produce a small basin of water.
Ye Cang wasn’t sure if the water was drinkable, so she performed a second evaporation on the small half basin of water.
After the second evaporation, the water was even less, only a shallow layer at the basin bottom.
Ye Cang said, “I’ll try it. If the water is drinkable, we won’t die of thirst!”
Yoru reached out and stopped Ye Cang, saying, “Let me try it instead. My body is strong.”
He had the Senju clan physique; even if poisoned a little, he could self-heal.
Ye Cang and the few children looked shaky; a bit more toxin and they’d drop dead on the spot.
Yoru was 17 years old, already adult height.
Ye Cang was about to stop him, but Yoru had already snatched the water basin and taken a sip.
Ye Cang widened her peach-like eyes, staring at Yoru.
Yoru licked his lips, his expression changing drastically.
Ye Cang was startled.
“Are you okay! Is there still poison in the water? Sorry, I… I I I…”
“No!” Yoru raised his hand and said, “No poison in the water, but!”
Hearing there was no poison in the water, Ye Cang breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing Yoru’s conflicted expression, she didn’t know what was wrong.
“This water basin, it wasn’t found under a bed, was it?”
A child nodded repeatedly, pointing at a tent and saying, “It was found under the bed in that tent.”
Yoru was speechless and said, “A basin for drinking water must not be from under a bed. Change the basin; you must change the basin!”
Terrible guys… this taste…
Fortunately not from the toilet; otherwise it’d be worse.
Ye Cang jumped up excitedly and said:
“I really can purify poisoned water! Thank goodness, we won’t die of thirst! Find a few clean basins; we’ll continue getting water!”
Seeing them work so hard, Yoru couldn’t stand by.
Too slow; two rounds of evaporation distillation and they couldn’t even get one basin of water in a morning.
He found a piece of waterproof cloth similar to plastic material and used a long pole to set up an inverted cone over the water surface, signaling Ye Cang to use her ability directly under the inverted conical cloth.
Water vapor evaporated, droplets condensing on the underside of the inverted conical waterproof cloth; as droplets grew, they flowed along the slope to the cone’s tip.
Placing a water basin under the tip, the water in the basin soon filled up.
Yoru had the children bring large jars and set up conical waterproof cloth on the large jars too.
Once the large jars filled, Ye Cang would do secondary distillation on the water inside them.
With Yoru’s participation, their water-gathering speed increased a lot.
The smallest child eyed the water eagerly, occasionally glancing at Ye Cang.
Ye Cang smiled and said, “Drink up; we’ll have water from now on.”
After the children finished drinking, Yoru also took two water bottles.
He was parched too.
One bottle he drank himself; the other Yoru prepared to bring to Yagura, who was hidden on the perimeter for reconnaissance that night.
Yagura was responsible for guarding in secret as a backup.
After nightfall, Yoru found an empty tent to rest in.
In the latter half of the night, he used Earth Release stealth to leave the tent and arrived outside the oasis.
Yagura was lying in the sand, using a telescope to watch the distance.
“Yagura, drink water.”
Yagura was already unbearably thirsty; hearing there was water, he gulped down half a bottle.
Water Style created water cannot be drunk.
The nature transformation of Water Release chakra produces water; once the chakra dissipates, the water disappears too.
This is also why large amounts of Water Style created water recede quickly.
Even if drunk into the stomach, it’s just fooling oneself; it won’t become body moisture, only unabsorbable chakra, and harmful if too much.
Yoru handed him another water bottle and said, “Tomorrow night, I’ll bring you two more bottles.”
Hearing there was still one more, Yagura tilted his head and drained the first bottle completely.
“Captain, where did you get the water?”
“Those few in the oasis actually have a method to evaporate and collect water; I got it from them.”
“What? Then hasn’t our mission failed? Do we kill them?”
Yoru said, “No problem; that evaporation ability is extremely rare. It can supply water to a few people, but far from enough for the Sand Ninja main force.”
Yoru returned to the oasis and rested in the tent.
In the latter half of the night, he suddenly opened his eyes, hearing gusts of howling winds.
A super massive sandstorm in the desert had arrived!
Yoru rushed out of the tent and looked up at the sandstorm.
Sand flew wildly, like a moving high wall, blocking the moonlight.
Sensing carefully, there was no chakra in this sandstorm; it was naturally formed.
At that moment, a scream came from the Crescent Small Lake side.
Yoru looked over and saw that a tent lakeside had been blown away, revealing Ye Cang who was bathing inside.
Ye Cang had actually come to bathe in the middle of the night; now the tent was gone, and she sat naked on the ground.
Her pristine slender back brightened the night.
The Ninja World’s number one beautiful back, radiant.
Yoru body flickered over, grabbing a piece of cloth mid-air and wrapping the dripping wet Ye Cang.
Ye Cang looked up and saw it was Miqu, the Land of Wind rogue ninja who had helped gather water during the day.
“Don’t look! Don’t look up!”
Yoru picked up the huddled Ye Cang and left the small lake, preparing to return to his own tent.
At that moment, The three children’s tent was on the verge of collapse., about to be lifted by the sandstorm.
Ye Cang struggled in Yoru’s arms, shouting, “Oh no, put me down; I need to save them!”
She didn’t even care about being shy anymore; her upper body poked out from Yoru’s arms.
“Don’t mess around; let me handle it.” Yoru clamped Ye Cang’s waist with one arm, and with the other hand formed hand seals:
“Earth Release: Earth Spear!”
Several earth spears appeared, securing the three children’s tent.
Yoru then carried Ye Cang into his own tent and used earth spears to reinforce it too.
After reinforcing the tent, Yoru turned and saw Ye Cang sitting on the ground with her back to him.
Her beautiful back fully exposed.
