Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 105 The Power to Master Nature?!

At this moment, in the Cloud Village's base, Samui's brows were furrowed.

"Still haven't been able to extract any useful information?"

She looked at Yukito, who was wiping the blood from his hands, and asked in a deep voice.

Although she was not on the battlefield as the commander, she could sense that Konoha's movements were unusual, but she couldn't figure out Konoha's intentions and purpose.

"No."

Yugito and his companion shook their heads, glancing at the Konoha Jonin who was no longer human and had completely lost consciousness.

"This guy threw up after going to FUNFUN Street a few times, so he probably has no idea what Jiraiya's plans are."

After saying that, Yugito paused for a moment and comforted her, "Could it be that there really is no conspiracy, and they just don't have the patience to drag it out any longer?"

Samui shook his head, his unease not only failing to dissipate but growing stronger.

"Sister! Sister!"

Just then, Atsi ran over carrying a headless corpse, his shouts interrupting Samui and Yukito's thoughts.

"What are you doing?" Samui suppressed his anxiety and frowned as he looked at him.

"Sister, look at this corpse!" Atsi released the corpse and let it fall to the ground.

"What are you looking at?" Samui's brows furrowed.

Atsi scratched his head and whispered, "I don't know either, I just feel like something's not right."

"..." Samui's face darkened.

"Azui, you bastard, don't cause trouble here!" Yugito, who was standing to the side, twitched his lips, walked over, grabbed him by the collar, and was about to drag him outside.

"No! Sister!" Atsui struggled and shouted, "Something's really wrong with Konoha! They're throwing explosive tags like kunai this time! They... ugh!"

Before Atsui could finish speaking, Yugito covered her mouth.

But at that moment, Samui suddenly raised his head.

"Wait!" She narrowed her eyes, called out to Yugito and Atsui, and said thoughtfully, "Atsui, you're saying that Konoha's rate of consuming explosive tags is wrong?"

This was something Samui, who was stationed behind the battlefield, was unaware of; only those who were on the battlefield could discover such a subtle anomaly.

"Mmm!" Atsi nodded repeatedly as her mouth was covered.

After a moment's thought, Samui stood up and said in a deep voice, "I need to go to the battlefield myself and see for myself."

“Samui!” Yugito frowned. “If Konoha finds out, you’ll be targeted and beheaded!”

"It's alright," Samui shook her head and smiled. "You'll protect me, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yukito fell silent, then sighed and said helplessly, "You're too willful. I really can't do anything with you."

Samui let out a deep breath, gave his deputy a few instructions, and then left the tent.

Soon, the three arrived at the front line of the battlefield and stood on high ground to look into the distance.

Samui stared intently at everything happening before him, feeling everything he could sense.

The drizzling rain was icy cold, mixing with the unique smells of mud, gunpowder, and blood from the battlefield, creating a nauseating, foul odor.

The air was filled with a distorted mix of sounds: the booming of ninjutsu, screams and howls, deafening explosions, and the grating sound of metal clashing...

Sweat mingled with the cold rain, streaming down Samui's face, but what tightened her heart even more was the lingering sense of unease.

Where is it?
Where does this sense of incongruity come from?

"It's so hot," Atsi blurted out unconsciously.

hot?
Samui's pupils contracted sharply as he finally realized what was wrong. The temperature! The temperature was off!
This is no ordinary temperature for a battle!

Every time she opened her mouth to breathe, it felt as if she were swallowing hot, foul-smelling air, her throat burning with pain.

Samui's sharp gaze swept across the battlefield, and sure enough, he saw bursts of orange-red flames from explosions everywhere.

The detonation tags exploded continuously, far exceeding the intensity of previous attacks.

Each explosion unleashed an astonishing wave of heat, violently heating the surrounding air.

Moreover, and not only because of the detonator...

"Fire Release!" Samui's throat bobbed as he hoarsely exclaimed, "The number of Fire Release ninjas is wrong! There are too many!"

The heat generated by the fire-style techniques and the explosive tags far exceeds the intensity of normal combat.

The scorching flames repeatedly baked the damp, cold air, and the enormous heat generated evaporated the rainwater, forming distorted white vapor that rose upwards.

Konoha's purpose in deliberately piling up Fire Release techniques and scattering explosive tags was far more than just killing!
This is practically cooking up this battlefield!
Thinking of this, Samui suddenly raised his head and looked at the low, oppressive, and churning thick rain clouds.

The thick, dark clouds were not a still curtain, but were churning and surging violently, as if constantly being pushed up by the immense heat rising from the battlefield below.

Under the moisture of the rain and the evaporation of the heat, the clouds are accumulating and thickening at an unprecedented speed, making it so oppressive that it's hard to breathe, as if the sky might collapse at any moment!
"Explosive tags and fire-style techniques... air temperature rises... updrafts... transforming into clouds..."

Countless thoughts gradually connected at this moment, and Samui finally realized Konoha's purpose.

Is this an artificially created rainy environment?
But why, and what is the significance?
"Sis! I remember now!"

Just then, Atsui suddenly shouted, pointing at the corpses of the Konoha ninja, "Their shoes! It's the shoes that are wrong!"

Samui subconsciously looked down and his gaze settled on the feet of several corpses.

Through the mud, she could clearly see that the Konoha ninjas were no longer wearing the usual ninja boots, but shoes made of a distinctly different material!

Those are rubber soles?!

A terrible thought struck Samui's mind like lightning, and the cold rain seemed to penetrate her bones instantly, leaving her feeling icy cold!

Rubber! Insulation!
This discovery instantly connected all the previous feelings of unease, forming a chilling outline of a conspiracy in his mind.

They used fire-style techniques and explosive tags to artificially create massive upward thermal currents, regardless of the cost.

The humid environment of the rain curtain gives rise to cumulonimbus clouds, which are formed by violent collisions within the cloud layer.

They had changed into insulated rubber shoes in advance...

"They want to exploit the celestial phenomena?!"

This conjecture made Samui's hair stand on end, and an indescribable sense of horror and absurdity gripped her!

Have those guys in Konoha gone mad?
How is that even possible?!
Because of the unique geographical environment of Kumogakure, many people die every year due to the celestial phenomena caused by the village's unique environment. Therefore, most Kumogakure ninjas have a deep-seated awe for celestial phenomena.

This is the real reason why Samui never realized Konoha's plot.

She never imagined that anyone would dare to presume to control the power of nature!
Just then, Yugito seemed to sense something, subconsciously looked up at the sky, and his expression changed immediately.

The next moment, a whooshing sound came from above, and the wooden man suddenly grabbed Samui's arm, pulling the dazed Samui away from his spot.

呲!
A sharp spike several meters long plunged straight into the ground.

No, not just one, but countless others.

Several figures hurled spikes down from the sky, and Samui was all too familiar with the appearance of those spikes.

That's a lightning rod.

Or rather, it is a lightning rod used to guide lightning!
