Uchiha Yuu's gift was not so easy for Kumogakure to accept.
The withered yellow flowers, grass, and trees turned pale white. Anyone with eyes could tell something significant had happened. That was why he had waited until the enemy reached the mountains before setting his plan in motion.

"Everyone, stop! Something strange is happening ahead. Be careful!"
"What is that? It doesn't look like anything good. I'll go take a look."
"Be careful. If anything feels wrong, come back immediately."
They had not expected it to be deadly poison that could take effect in an instant. Under these circumstances, for the safety of the main force behind them, they could only take the risk and test it.
