Explosives vs Storage Seals is like the Linear Warriors vs Quadratic Wizards of this quest.
In a game of inches like ninja combat, if the other guy goes from punching shards of granite at you really fast to hurling car-sized boulders that travel at highway speeds,well, thats the game right there.
Basically, we're telling the tower to release their notes to the village?

We sold the original version that made Mist. We didn't sell them the improved version that could chew and fire granite

That's interesting to note, because it implies that there is a similar spread of asteroids sized to make it through the atmosphere. Not only that, but because the EN is tiny and the world is tiny too, that means that there'd have to be way more of them...

IIRC Madara had a literal meteor-summoning jutsu in canon, and MfD makes reference to Madara's Minute Meteors or something like that.That's interesting to note, because it implies that there is a similar spread of asteroids sized to make it through the atmosphere.

There's no way big rocks from space will be seen as anything but an esoteric ninja attack. Put ourselves in theirselves' shoes. It's always enemy action.

That's why I asked if they happen first. More likely it would be taken as a sign the spirits are... unhappy with the current course of events.

For all we actually know this world is a flattened toroid. The GMs have certainly made sure we don't have a telescope.
"Happens" isn't the same as plausible. If rocks just happen to fall out of the sky and hit a strategic target during the exact 48 hour window when Leaf needs them to nobody is going to assume that it was a natural event instead of "can make rocks fall out of the sky" chakra bullshit anymore than anybody is assuming that most of the strategic locations in Konoha just happened to be built over sinkholes which just happened to collapse simultaneously.

stares sadly at the great number of kaiju preventing us from putting to use what we built our character around*is sad we aren't researching cool and clever ways to punch the daylights out of people*

Those that had the capacity but not the (perceived) ability to perform at the requisite levels were flunked before training on how to access their chakra.
Its illegal to train them(and ninja in general) without express permission, etc etc.

So, did I got it right that the straw that broke Haru's back and made this happen
is the canonizaed Omake by @Paperclipped (and interactions within)? Because holy shit that's awesome!

For clarity: The EN gets hit with meteors at about the frequency of an equivalent section of the Earth.That's interesting to note, because it implies that there is a similar spread of asteroids sized to make it through the atmosphere. Not only that, but because the EN is tiny and the world is tiny too, that means that there'd have to be way more of them...

Hey, we haven't done anything! We are pure as the driven snow. We offered to let you buy one hundreds of chapters ago, back in Sarubetsu, and then we literally had a telescope salesman bang on your front gate. The fact that it was cost prohibitive and that you weren't around, respectively, is just how things happened to go. Totally and completely not our fault. Yup.

Yeah, people, we should take matter in our hands and make a telescope by ourselves!
Just get some crippled/retired ninja with Fire affinity to melt a lot of sand into a lot of lens prototypes. He's bound to get us a working pair eventually!
And since lenses are not hollow we don't even need to pair him with a Wind used to blow the glass into shapes!
Edit: and it just so happens that our neighbour has literally tons of sand that we can buy relatively cheap

What, surely you don't think we could do something with the existence of a mass of meteors nearby that dwarfs the quantity in the asteroid belt IRL, do you? That sounds entirely out of character for us to do things with. Totally.

No, we would probably accidentally level a city or something after attempting to asteroid mine by ripping some of them from the sky.

Does this mean we can call forth an armageddon in MfD by bombarding Earth with showers of meteors IRL? How is "the frequency of an equivalent section of the Earth" calculated, is it the average across all of Earth's surface? Just spitballing: will this value rise dramatically if we bombard a 10x10 meters area of Earth with 1010 meteors?
I'm thinking we build a gigantic 5SB mesh above Leaf, do that ^, then rule over the world's ashes.

We can bombard land that has no explicit owner. I'm sure we can find something in Antarctica or among small islands in Pacific

Sorry, I meant Earth-terrorism, not Elemental-Nations-terrorism
I think demonstrating the ability and willingness to perform on demand targeted orbital bombardments would be a terroristic threat against all inhabitants of the planet.
