It is worth firing into this Area of Dead Silence, and the crushing power is enough to kill Uchiha Yue.
However, to be sure, it is better to get closer to the target before attacking. This will allow you to unleash the maximum destructive power of the electromagnetic cannon of the Lightning Element. In addition, this way they will demonstrate the greatness of the Hidden Cloud superweapon and make it clear to other villages who will rule the world from now on.
After all, the current times are different from the past. Previously, the strongest Shinobi village had only received a large share of missions, but now, Hey was sure, the others understood: the strongest was gaining power. If it wasn't for Hidden Stone Village, they would have joined forces a long time ago.
"So this is the Hidden Cloud Village superweapon?" Heck!..
Rasa frowned at the report, and then, his face contorted with anger, he violently threw it to the ground. *"Damn it, it's been so long, and they've already completed the creation of their ultimate weapon! Such a huge thing! Do you think this is a mountain of garbage that can just be dumped in a pile? How could it have been built so quickly?!"*
*"In comparison, our Hidden Sand Village will need at least another half a month to bring the Super Puppet to mind. But I sacrificed my own son for her! The sacrifice may have been in vain, but I tried so hard! Still, those bastards from the Cloud beat us to it. Damn, it was so close, just a little bit left. Give us a little more time, and by completing the Super Puppet, we would definitely be able to kill Uchiha Yue, take his eyes, and rise above all the villages. But now..."* — Rasa sighed heavily.
Now he could only pray that the Cloud's superweapon turned out to be a mere show-off, unable to kill Uchiha Yue. But even thinking like that, he felt bitterness. Their village had been preparing for the capture of Uchiha's eyes for so long, had spent so many resources that it had practically devastated the entire Wind Country. And all this for the sake of an invincible Super Puppet, and now... * "Unacceptable!"*
This thought gave birth to the idea of plunder in the heart of the Race. Gathering the ninja of his village, he left the Village of Hidden Sand like a hyena following a lion in the hope of snatching a piece of carrion. He intended to bide his time and take away Uchiha Yue's power by force.

Meanwhile, Hidden Stone Village also found out about Hidden Cloud's actions.
"Damn it!" A bunch of nobodies!
Onoki slammed his fist down on the table. His angry gaze was fixed on the assembled incompetents. * "They devoured a mountain of resources! In order to experiment on humans, they even had to capture a party of savages in the Land of Fire — and all in order to support these studies. And what is the result? Damn, it was us, the Hidden Stone Village, who first proposed the plan to kill Uchiha Yue and capture his eyes! And now our competitors are already showing results and are going to finish him off in order to take away his power."*
And they?
* "They are still in the clouds, exploring something there, without even having a single plan in stock. Damn it, damn it! A bunch of nobodies!"*
"That's impossible, Mr. Tsuchikage! It's not about us. To create such a huge weapon in such a short time... Hidden Cloud Village just couldn't do it!
—Yes, that's impossible,— said another. — It seems to me that these people from the Cloud have just gone crazy. They took a bunch of iron, somehow made weapons out of it and decided that they could kill Uchiha Yue?
— Exactly! It looks like something high-tech, but if you look closely, it becomes clear that it's just a jumble of details!
— Give us time, and we can create something like this too. But what's the use? It's probably just a mountain of scrap metal!
The researchers passed photos to each other, vying to discuss them and trying to find an excuse for their own incompetence. Of course, they saw the chakra flowing through the weapon. This thing was clearly not that simple. The fact that it didn't fall apart at all was most likely due solely to this force.
Theoretically, the weapon should be operational.
But time passed, and they still hadn't created anything. Faced with Oonoka's anger, they could only, as if by unspoken agreement, shift his attention to another, justifying their own incompetence. Yes, it's not about them, but about the fact that other villages are doing nonsense. Their weapons are not weapons at all, but scrap metal.
Unfortunately for them, Oonoka was no longer in the mood to mess with these nobodies. *"Damn, if I had known earlier that these guys were so useless, I would have sent people to steal technical data from other villages from the very beginning. We sent spies, of course, but at that time the Hidden Stone was at the peak of its power, and it never occurred to us that we might not create something. In addition, other villages were vigilantly guarding their developments. I couldn't steal it, but that's fine. After all, a person has to rely on themselves!"*
* "At myself, of course! To become strong, you need to steal, cheat and rob!"*
The realization of this came to Honoki too late. * "Although, come to think of it... it's not too late!"*
Oonoki made the same decision as Rasa: to loot! Such a huge weapon probably has problems with maneuverability. If Hidden Cloud Village really defeats Uchiha Yue, he might have a chance to snatch the fruits of victory.
At that thought, Onoki touched his eyes. He had already undergone surgery: his eye sockets were now adapted for rapid transplantation. He could easily remove his own eyes and put someone else's in their place. All this time, when he had nothing to do, he was constantly training. Now, all he needed was a light movement to complete the replacement process. All this was preparation for taking Uchiha Yue's eyes and immediately transplanting them.
He had waited too long for this day.
There's no way he's going to let someone else get them. If he couldn't get them, he wouldn't hesitate to destroy them. Onoki didn't want other villages to be parasitic on his village. Just the thought of his ninja having to give nine-tenths of the reward to others after completing the mission made his brain boil, his heart pound, and his chest ache.…
