Konoha's camp was in the forest, and once Uchiha Yin activated the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, he sensed a pool of clear spring water nearby.
His Mind's Eye of the Kagura seemed different from Kushina's. He could sense not only Chakra, but also the objects around him.
They passed through thorns and weeds. Before long—about ten minutes at a ninja's pace—Uchiha Yin led Kushina and Mikoto to a dense thicket halfway up a hillside.
"I think I hear running water," Kushina exclaimed.
Uchiha Yin nodded, pushed aside the weeds and saplings, and beckoned Kushina and Mikoto to follow him through.
Their eyes lit up at once.
Inside was a natural swimming pool.
"It's beautiful!" Mikoto couldn't help exclaiming.
Though it was night, the gentle light of the bright moon made the place feel especially inviting.
Uchiha Yin stepped forward and tested the water with his hand.
Luckily, the spring water wasn't too cold. After a full day in the sun, it wasn't warm, but it was close to room temperature.
In this weather, it was just right for a bath.
Kushina and Mikoto came forward to feel the water too, eager to strip off their clothes and jump in.
"Wow, how did you find this place, Yin?" Mikoto asked him in delight.
The Sharingan couldn't see through everything. Unlike the Byakugan, it couldn't locate a spring from this far away.
And an ordinary Mind's Eye of the Kagura couldn't sense the surroundings either; it could only sense Chakra.
"I just sensed around a little."
Uchiha Yin launched into a long, solemn explanation that was complete nonsense.
The truth was, he had done nothing of the sort. He had simply used the Mind's Eye of the Kagura and sensed the spring.
But he couldn't say that. Even if he did,
