konoha:I'm the God of ninja world

Morkel still had an impression of several key figures of the Hokage.

This Gaara seemed to be quite popular among the Hokage.

Of course, Morkel had no idea what the other party had done.

"Shut up!"

Gaara heard Kankuro's defense and rudely interrupted him, then narrowed his eyes and threatened, "Be careful, or I'll finish you off."

The murderous intent in his words was almost tangible, frightening Konohamaru so much that he immediately hid behind Morkel, clutching his thighs tightly.

Kankuro was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees.

Afterward, Gaara, carrying his large gourd, jumped down from the tree and left with Temari and Kankuro.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and looked at Morkel calmly. "What's your name?"

Morkel answered without hesitation, "Morkel."

Then, he didn't even bother to ask for Gaara's name.

After waiting a moment without any response from Morkel, Gaara had to introduce himself. "My name is Gaara. Be careful."

Gaara looked straight at Morkel, searching for any reaction but found nothing.

The other person's eyes were like the warm sun, neither happy nor sad, yet extremely calm and gentle.

In one word: stable.

This surprised Gaara.

Finally, he said, "Let's go."

With that, he turned and walked away, Temari and Kankuro quickly following behind.

Watching the Sand Shinobi trio leave, Konohamaru cautiously peeked out from behind Morkel, finally letting out a breath of relief.

"Brother Morkel, who are they?"

Morkel thought for a moment and explained, "They should be ninjas from the neighboring Wind Country, here to take the Chūnin exam. Don't be afraid, they're leaving."

Konohamaru looked worried. "Brother Morkel, they were really scary. If they're taking the exam too, will you have to fight them?"

"It's okay. If I run into any trouble, I'll deal with it." Morkel responded with rare confidence.

He could be humble to the villagers.

But he would never show mercy to people from other villages.

"Alright, enough of that. I need to go buy groceries and cook."

Morkel patted Konohamaru's head gently and was about to leave when—

A sudden gust of wind!

A ninja wearing a conical hat appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Konohamaru, and disappeared in a flash.

The ninja leaped onto the rooftops of Konoha, tapping a few times before vanishing at high speed.

It happened so fast.

Morkel watched the figure disappear into the distance, his expression remaining calm. He wasn't worried, just a little helpless.

Because he recognized that chakra.

A few minutes later, the mysterious ninja brought Konohamaru to a secluded forest outside the village.

Konohamaru struggled desperately.

"Hey, kid, behave yourself, or I'll kill you!" the ninja threatened.

Konohamaru immediately froze in place, now silently praying for Morkel to come and save him.

The next moment—

Morkel appeared instantly, using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The ninja in the bamboo hat started his act. "Boy, I am a spy from another village. Be smart and hand over the secret scroll of Konoha, or I'll kill this kid!"

As he spoke, he lifted Konohamaru even higher.

Morkel simply spread his hands. "Teacher Iruka, stop pretending."

"....."

Cold sweat silently slid down the ninja's face under the bamboo hat.

Still, he stubbornly insisted, "Kid, what are you talking about? Who's Iruka? I don't know him!"

Morkel sighed. "Teacher, you've been exposed. Your chakra signature is clearly that of Teacher Iruka."

The ninja with the bamboo hat went silent.

Oops.

Oops.

He had completely forgotten that Morkel was particularly sensitive to chakra.

A huge blunder!

Then— "Bang!"

A puff of smoke burst forth, and the ninja transformed back into Iruka.

Teacher Iruka smiled awkwardly. "Hehehe, you caught me, Morkel. Looks like you've grown a lot during your training."

Morkel remained unimpressed. "Teacher, it's not that I've grown. You just didn't disguise yourself well enough."

Iruka: "...."

Please don't expose your teacher's shortcomings so directly!

This is very embarrassing!

"Teacher Iruka, why did you disguise yourself and kidnap me?" Konohamaru asked in confusion. "Are you playing a game with Brother Morkel?"

Iruka shook his head. "No, Kakashi took it upon himself to register you both for the Chūnin exam. I was uneasy about it, so I wanted to test you."

Iruka's eyes showed pride as he continued, "Morkel, you've grown so much."

"Thank you for your praise, Teacher Iruka." Morkel responded humbly.

Iruka still seemed puzzled. "But what was that technique you used? You appeared behind Konohamaru in an instant. What was that?"

Morkel explained, "It's a technique I learned during my travels. Kakashi-sensei told me it's called the Flying Thunder God Technique."

"Flying Thunder God?!"

A technique that could be used to travel instantly?!

Iruka was in disbelief. "Morkel, are you serious?"

Morkel nodded. "Teacher, I never lie."

Iruka fell silent.

He knew exactly what Flying Thunder God meant.

During the Third Ninja World War, Iruka had been even younger than Morkel was now.

He had witnessed the Fourth Hokage using the Flying Thunder God Technique, moving through the battlefield like lightning and striking down enemies in an instant.

And now, Morkel had mastered the same technique?

Iruka could only stare in stunned admiration.
