Chapter 156 - 51: The Desert Campaign
"Throw down an empty water canteen, and make sure to tie a rope to it!"
Hidan shouted loudly toward the mouth of the well.
After a moment, an empty water container descended from above, landing with a soft "thud" on the dry well bottom.
Hidan removed the stopper and placed the canteen's opening at a small depression on the edge of the well. Drop by drop, clear water trickled into the container until it was finally full. Hidan replaced the stopper.
"Pull it up, pull it up, and throw another one down."
Following this pattern, Hidan filled about ten canteens before noticing the water source had dried up. He shook his head helplessly.
"Sigh, this well is useless now. These ancestors, I swear."
With these words, he grabbed the last half-filled canteen, leaped powerfully to the middle section of the well wall, and quickly climbed out using both hands and feet.
A group of samurai waited expectantly at the well's mouth. Hidan handed over the half-filled canteen.
"This is all that's left. The underground stream connected to this well has dried up."
The samurai exchanged worried glances. For so many people, this amount of water wouldn't even be enough to moisten their lips!
