The Land of Rain suffered relentless rain year-round, its entire expanse shrouded in dampness.
Ye Chuan raced through the curtain of rain like an arrow loosed from a bow.
He had already pushed his [Observation Haki] to its limit, his perception covering dozens of kilometers in every direction as he searched hard for any possible trace of Obito.
