Chapter 81 Typhoon Strikes
"The wind is picking up,"

After school, the three of them walked up to the cherry tree next to them, its branches and leaves fluttering in the wind.

"Yes, it's about time."

Despite the increasingly strong winds, Yu remained calm and even gave instructions to her younger sister and class monitor.

"It is said that there will be level 10 winds in the next two days, so please be careful not to stay outdoors for a long time."

Earthquakes, volcanoes, typhoons.

The island nation is prone to three major disasters, which occur several times a year, sometimes even more than ten times.

With the development of technology, volcanic disasters are easier to predict and control; earthquakes are also less dangerous in the face of reinforced concrete; but typhoons are still going strong, making it onto the international trending list every year, which is a unique daily occurrence in island nations.

Every school conducts annual drills for disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, and fires.

And recently, an extraordinary preview has been added!
For the people living here, dealing with strong winds is already second nature.

But this time:
"careful,"

"Don't forget, this is the age of the extraordinary."

“Yu-kun is right. Many ‘monsters’ are simply the embodiment of humanity’s fear of natural disasters.”

Nao picked up the conversation. Although on the surface, the three were just energetic high school students, they were actually all extraordinary beings capable of breaking rocks with their bare hands. The more superhuman their power, the more they feared those higher beings.

"This period coincides with the time when tropical depressions are raging in the South Pacific."

"If extraordinary forces are mixed in, what will be the consequences?"

Incredible.

"I know, it's Typhoon Aere."

Qiong goes online every day, truly 'knowing everything happening in the world without leaving home'.
They have a very clear understanding of the typhoon that is moving towards the island nation.

"It has already affected 50,000 people outside the area, causing 60 floods and multiple landslides."

"Its maximum sustained winds near its center are 130 kilometers per hour, with gusts up to 160 kilometers per hour, and it is moving northeast at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, toward Kagoshima."

Kagoshima, located in Kagoshima Prefecture in the southwestern part of the island nation, is the place in the island nation most frequently visited by typhoons.

Almost every year, we are hit by typhoons. Even in Tokyo, the government has issued a level 10 gale warning: every year at this time, one or two typhoons will blow through, and then everyone will stay at home to take shelter as usual.

A level 10 gale has already blown down quite a few billboards, sending unlucky souls who insist on going out to the hospital or cemetery.

"At this point, the advantages of being in Adachi Ward become apparent."

Even with typhoons and tsunamis,
If you're going to blow something up, blow it up in the port area first, then the central area.

"How could that be? Even Typhoon Aere couldn't possibly shake a modern coastal defense system."

Qiong Mei immediately objected to this.

"Moreover, Tokyo has Kanagawa and Chiba prefectures as a barrier, so it cannot affect us."

"Well, that makes sense."

Yu did not refute this, and under normal circumstances, this is indeed the case.

Tokyo's ability to develop into a world-class metropolis is naturally due to its extremely advantageous geographical location.

The vast Tokyo Bay is not just a place for gangsters to dump corpses; it is a super-giant natural harbor. Kanagawa and Chiba prefectures, which extend into the sea on the left and right, are like two arms embracing Tokyo Bay, protecting it from strong winds, tsunamis, and other severe natural disasters.

In addition, the mountain ranges of Yamanashi Prefecture block the typhoons, so by the time they reach Tokyo, they are less than one-tenth of their original strength, no matter which direction they come from.

But Yu said that this year's typhoon is different, so it must be different!

Typhoon: Ewiniar
The first typhoon of the year formed over the Filipino island of Luzon.

According to international practice, typhoon names are provided by surrounding countries, or they may be based on mythological figures, constellation names, poems, etc., and then used in a cycle year after year.

And the name 'Aiyunni'
It was provided by Micronesia and is the local traditional storm god.

After ravaging Iberia, this typhoon is now heading menacingly towards the island nation.

In response, in addition to repeatedly broadcasting information about the weather and waves in various locations, Kagoshima also opened evacuation shelters in various places, and evacuation was carried out in an orderly manner under the direction of the police.

This routine has become a regular occurrence every summer.

That's how it was supposed to be, but—

"Hey?"

The Japan Meteorological Agency, located in Chiyoda, received a message from the direction of Kagoshima.

Has Typhoon Aere changed direction?

"Yes, it didn't land on Kagoshima, but moved towards Kochi Prefecture."

The staff member drew a line on the screen with their finger, outlining the trajectory of the typhoon.

"According to supercomputer predictions, it will arrive in Kochi Prefecture tomorrow and then make landfall in Mihara City."

"That's a good thing. Oh, sorry."

The deputy section chief, holding a cup of coffee and standing behind the staff, apologized.

Mihara City is hilly and mountainous, with an astonishing 74% vegetation cover, making it an ideal typhoon landing point. Of course, this kind of statement cannot be said aloud, otherwise it would invite online backlash from the people of Mihara City.

"Yes, this makes things much easier for us too."

Typhoons happen every year anyway, so all we can do is pray that they make landfall in sparsely populated areas.

Unfortunately, their hopes were destined to be dashed.

Woohoo! Woohoo!!!!
The massive typhoon Aere roared across the sea, and everything in its path retreated.

Even the largest creation of humankind, the aircraft carrier, cannot easily pass through a typhoon zone. Medium-sized and larger aircraft carriers with a displacement of 6 tons can indeed withstand typhoons, but other surface ships escorting them do not have that capability.

Besides, does anyone really plan to take off and land planes on an aircraft carrier during a typhoon?
That's truly a case of one plane taking off and crashing, challenging the strongest 'crash resistance king'.

Therefore, the American Seventh Fleet had already returned to Yokosuka Port early to carry out ship maintenance and allow personnel to go ashore for relaxation.

But right in the heart of this colossal cyclone, formed by the immense power of nature, there is a person floating here.

"Would you consider this a butterfly effect?"

Who else but Yu could float in the eye of a typhoon?

The butterfly effect, a chaotic phenomenon, illustrates that the development of anything involves both constants and variables. While the trajectory of development follows certain patterns, unpredictable variables also exist. In essence, it means:
"Using small things to create a bigger impact, is that a good way to think about it?" Who cares!

Snapped,
With a clap of his hands, a gust of wind howled around You's body.

Whirlwinds roared from his body, merging into the giant cyclone of the surrounding nature.

"Typhoon Escape - Great Fierce Strike!"

Compared to the immense power of nature, the 'typhoons' created by Yu seem much smaller and more delicate. However, with the continuous injection of these smaller typhoons, the enormous natural typhoons are slowly and gradually shifting away, following the trajectory set by Yu.

That's right, this typhoon named 'Ewiniar' is being pushed by Yu towards the stage he prepared!

Typhoon Escape, a type of bloodline limit.

The so-called 'bloodline limit' is divided into three types:

Ninjutsu, eye techniques, and physical constitution. The latter two are commonly known as 'Sage Eyes' and 'Sage Body'.

Needless to say, there are well-known eye techniques such as the Sharingan and Byakugan; the nearly extinct Red Eye and Blood Dragon Eye; and higher-level techniques such as the Rinnegan, Tenseigan, and Jōgan, all of which belong to the bloodline limit of eye techniques.

There are relatively few types of physical constitutions, but the most famous one is the Corpse Bone Pulse!
Although Senju and Uzumaki are not considered bloodline limits, they still possess some characteristics of a 'Sage Body'.

In particular, the cells of a certain vegetative patient are practically a panacea in the ninja world; everyone who has used them raves about them.

Ninjutsu, on the other hand, is the kind of power that most ninjas can master.

Unlike eye techniques and physical techniques that rely purely on genetics.

Bloodstains of ninjutsu: A ninja can create a new ninjutsu by fusing two different elemental ninjutsu with their nature transformation.

Wind + Water = Ice, Earth + Water = Wood, Fire + Wind = Scorching, Water + Fire = Boiling, Wind + Earth = Magnetism, and so on. Compared to the simple Five Elements escape techniques, these escape techniques possess more unique characteristics. The 'Typhoon Escape' that Yu is currently using is a fusion of wind and lightning, possessing the power to create a typhoon.

Of course, this doesn't mean that bloodline limits are always strong; the power of a technique depends entirely on the individual's skill.

If you're not convinced, you can ask the dancing Madara.

Even a C-rank Fire Release technique can sweep away thousands of troops!
After releasing the true spirits of a hundred demons, Yu didn't have time to care about those 'offline' characters; he was busy preparing for this.

Relying on the power of 'typhoon retreat', the typhoon continuously alters its path while accumulating power, waiting to reach its destination:
It must be earth-shattering!

Yokosuka Base
Hundreds of meters below the base, in a laboratory that no detector can find.

"Dr. Stephen, you seem to be in good spirits?"

A synthesized voice sounded, causing the American professor, with his gray hair and mad scientist look, to turn around.

"Yes, yes,"

"I'm in a good mood today, little Kshira."

The doctor read the information on the tablet in his hand while talking to the giant octopus in the glass tank.

"Our brave soldiers annihilated the extraordinary thugs who attacked the embassy some time ago."

"The guys in charge of the 'space folding' project found traces of writing on the enemy's remaining armor, and speculated that the writing was similar to a circuit board: once injected with psionic energy, it would exhibit all sorts of properties."

“Do you understand, little Kshira? As long as we decipher these characters, we can access the technology of ‘space folding’.”

"This will be our next target to overcome!"

What scientific research fears most is...

I just can't find my direction.

Many experiments are based on the 'xxx conjecture'.

However, after decades of experimentation and research, the conclusion may well be that such a conjecture is meaningless.

Now, the 'puppet master' has demonstrated the existence of 'space folding' technology to everyone. Now that they have a goal, even if it's difficult, at least they're moving in the right direction.

"The goal?"

The octopus, imprisoned in the tank, seemed lost in thought, its tentacles nimbly dancing across the keyboard in front of it.

"So what is my goal, Doctor?"

Even the brilliant PhD paused slightly at this question.

"Strive to improve yourself and become someone who can bring happiness to others."

However, the doctor was well aware that America's core value was 'individual freedom'. While organizations like the military and firefighters also emphasize collectivism and dedication, they also stress equal opportunity and the pursuit of wealth.

"I believe I can do more,"

As the synthesized voice sounded, the octopus, captured by America and educated by the old doctor, named 'Kishira,' was able to converse normally through the computer and showed a strong competitive spirit.

It will even salute with eight tentacles when the American national anthem is played!
"Don't rush, little Kshira."

Dr. Stephen also found this quite troublesome.

In his view, 'Little Kshira' was already fully capable of being used as 'military force' in America.

However, Brigadier General Thomas and the base commander believed that this amount of time was insufficient to confirm her loyalty.

Moreover, as long as her blood is continuously extracted, artificial superhumans can be created in an endless stream.

This led the base's administrators to refuse to grant 'Little Kshira' freedom.

She's not an American citizen!

Yes, it's her, not him.

This octopus, named 'Kshira', is exceptionally female.
Other researchers at the base have planned to artificially inseminate her to see if they can produce new superhumans: in that case, America could have a continuous supply of artificial superhumans.

"Wait patiently, I will help you apply for permission to move around freely."

"At that time, you will be able to realize your own value and pursue everything you want."

Upon hearing the doctor's promise, the octopus, which was surrounded by numerous electrodes and needles and immersed in a paralyzing cryogenic solution, tapped on the keyboard.

"Okay, Doctor."

P.S.: Typhoon Release isn't something I made up; it comes from the official novel and anime, *Sasuke's Secret Story*. Its effect is to create a typhoon, essentially a bloodstained technique specializing in large-scale destruction.

And: —The editor notified me that the book will be available for purchase tomorrow, so I'm saving this draft today and posting it all together tomorrow. Please forgive me, considering I've already written 28 words for the book to be published (I'm sure of it).
