Shouldn't the Water element be dangerous to Lightning like Wind to Fire?

It's not like Earth could make Lightning "explode" be volatile enough to make that happen.

Like throwing water at cable or dumping a hairdryer in the bathtub with water in it.

Water element does not counter lightning, what it does is grant lightning a wider reach by using the water as a conductor.

Lightning itself does not explode it is rather what is affected by lightning that does.

Oh yeah I forgot about that. I remember Darui doing something like that in the 4th War.

Wind is actually vulnerable to Fire. And Water would also be vulnerable to Lightning i.e. Water can be used to support Lightning Style through the conduction principle.

Wind is beaten by fire because it fuels the flames and the wind is consumed by said flames

Water isn't weak to lightning because it isn't consumed by lightning it just extends the reach of lightning.

Water is only weak to earth because the earth consumes water.

My bad. Though Water can be used to aid Lightning attacks, so an opponent can use your Water to harm you. But he's at the same disadvantage unless he has a good counter, so yeah, you're right.

Basically what Darui did to Sasuke at the kage summit, though it seems like Sasuke can counter it:

Wind is superior to Fire.
It gives fire direction, it can extinquish or maintain or help fire.
Water does not vulnerable to Lightning since water user can trap lightning user and lock his abilities.

But with the same principle, a water user could use the lightning to harm the lightning user

Like if the water user creates a tsunami, and the lightning user launches a lightning attack, the water simply gets coated with lightning and both drowns and electrocutes the lightning user.

According to Naruto, wind is inferior

That's if the Futon is far superior than the Katon.

If it's not, the flames simply engulfs the wind.

Read the manga again.

Like if the water user creates a tsunami, and the lightning user launches a lightning attack, the water simply gets coated with lightning and both drowns and electrocutes the lightning user.

If they're both drowned, then the Lightning jutsu will electrocute both of them. And since Lightning user has some resistance due to that being his element, he has better chance. In short, Water extends the reach of Lightning through conduction. Where ever the water is present, lightning will reach and electrocute that person.
