Uchiha Ying Yue decided to take Hyuga Ayane and Yamanaka Chinatsu to the Land of Lightning for the next leg of their journey.
They left the Land of Hot Water, rich in hot springs, and headed toward the Land of Lightning northeast of Konoha.
The Land of Lightning was renowned for its unique terrain and powerful Lightning Release ninja, with Kumogakure standing as its foremost representative.
The Land of Lightning lay on a high plateau, at an extremely high elevation. Its climate was cold, and it remained shrouded in clouds and mist year-round.
As Uchiha Ying Yue and the other two traveled onward, the damp chill in the air grew increasingly pronounced the closer they came to the Land of Lightning.
Due to prolonged exposure to intense ultraviolet radiation, the residents of the Land of Lightning generally had darker skin, another of the distinctive traits of its ninja.
Kumogakure, the ninja village of the Land of Lightning, was situated atop towering mountains perpetually veiled in clouds and mist.
Because this highland was constantly struck by lightning, the village's ninja gradually mastered the ability to control it, and Lightning Release ninjutsu flourished here.
Kumogakure's ninja often used lightning to temper their bodies and chakra control, resulting in extraordinarily robust physiques. This was also one reason why the Third Raikage A had been able to withstand tailed beasts with his bare body.
After entering the Land of Lightning, the three of them sensed the nation's distinctive atmosphere.
The Land of Lightning possessed a comparatively advanced level of technology, particularly in the application of electricity, where it surpassed the other nations.
Uchiha Ying Yue observed that the people here held lightning in tremendous reverence and awe. They regarded it not merely as a force of nature, but incorporated it into both daily life
