Chapter 34.1- One Thousand Hands
Added 2024-12-25 22:35:29 +0000 UTCWhen you remove the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, is the truth. I can’t remember which smarts said that, so I would be taking credit for its from this point onwards. The only issue was that that statement did little to help or even explain the present situation. They’d agreed that it was best if they entered the cave to find what was producing the water. They’d even played devil’s advocate and tried to make arguments for not venturing into the cave but not a single argument managed to survive scrutiny from all three of them. So here they were, walking into the cave only to be immediately confronted by what was most definitely impossible.
It was a water skin. All the water that fed into close to a hundred different rivers and streams was flowing out from a single water skin. Using my byakugan on it only showed me that it had chakera, but not what the chakra did. For the second time, my eyes were being overcome, and even more annoyingly, both had been in the last five minutes and both related to this waterskin that had almost certainly been left here by the sage himself.
“That’s impossible” Uraume said, gazing upon the waterskin in awe and saying the words that were on all our lips.
“There’s no sealing matrix large enough to contain that much water” Shiba commented, looking at the water skin as well, even if his shades made it slightly harder to tell.
“Whatever is going on here, it goes far beyond the scope of regular ninjutsu” I replied. “Even fuinjutsu can’t explain this. This thing has to be somehow creating water from nothing. If it was taking from some ocean, then sea levels would have to be constantly falling because of how much water we’re talking about here.” I said, blending my knowledge of the myth with my own observations.
A/N: Wait for more?
