Was it raining?
A sudden pattering erupted without warning. Hyuga Yukyō, who had cautiously made his way into the primeval forest, raised his head slightly. His Byakugan vision pierced through layer upon layer of abnormally thick branches and dense green leaves, stretching all the way into the sky above.
When he saw the raindrops pouring down in a torrential downpour, a thought could not help but surface in his mind.

After all, for infiltrators, the dimmer light beneath the forest canopy on a rainy day, along with the sound of rain striking the leaves, would provide excellent cover. Ninjas already made very little noise when infiltrating, and with all these additional sounds, unless they encountered sensory ninjas with exceptionally sharp senses and came quite close to them, an infiltrator would basically remain undiscovered as long as they were not clearly seen.
