Orochimaru's Shock! Flying Thunder God! Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique! Too Evil!
"Earth Style... Earthen Walls!"
After completing the hand seals, Morkel swiftly ducked, narrowly avoiding several kunai aimed at his chest. At the same time, he slammed his hands onto the ground, channeling his chakra through the earth, raising an indestructible wall.
Boom!!
The moment his fingers touched the ground, a massive, one-meter-thick, ten-meter-high, and twenty-meter-wide mud brick wall erupted from the earth. The three Oto-nin had never expected Morkel's hand-seal speed to be so fast!
A mid-level Earth Style jutsu executed in under a second—simply terrifying!
Though surprised, the three quickly reacted, leaping back to avoid being crushed by the rising wall. However, Morkel anticipated their movements, keeping his hands pressed to the ground. At the same time, he glanced at Naruto and gave a subtle wink.
Next up!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Three more earth walls burst from the ground in quick succession, rising so rapidly that they left no room for reaction. The three Sound Ninjas were caught off guard, one of them being struck and thrown off balance by the sudden impact.
Naruto, having received Morkel's signal, swiftly pulled out a kunai from his equipment pouch and hurled it toward the sonic weapon in Tos's hand.
Swish!
Tos, wrapped in bandages and hunched over, reacted quickly, raising his hand to deflect the incoming kunai. Just as he was about to touch it, Morkel suddenly vanished.
Flying Thunder God Technique, activated!
Tos's eyes gleamed with confidence—he had anticipated Morkel's teleportation. Knowing Morkel possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, they had prepared countermeasures. The moment Morkel reappeared, his teammate, Sack, raised his arms, releasing razor-sharp air blades from the valves in his palms.
"Sky-Cutting Wave!"
Morkel, however, merely smirked. By the time Tos realized it, Morkel had already completed a Fire Style jutsu.
"Fire Style: Impatiens Technique!"
Crash!
A barrage of fireballs, resembling falling meteors, shot out from Morkel's mouth, engulfing the airborne Oto-nin. The flames struck them directly, causing severe burns and—more importantly—destroying Tos's sonic transmitter.
Before the Sky-Cutting Wave could hit him, Morkel used the Flying Thunder God Technique again, teleporting back to Naruto's side. Without hesitation, he formed another set of seals and slammed his palms onto the ground.
"Earth Style: Yellow Spring Swamp!"
The ground beneath the Sound Ninjas instantly softened, transforming into a deep, viscous swamp. Still reeling from the fire attack, they had no chance to react as they plummeted into the mire, struggling helplessly.
The spectators were left in stunned silence. Morkel had executed three jutsu in quick succession, completely overwhelming the Oto-nin with sheer battlefield control and overwhelming strength.
"Too strong!" Naruto gasped.
They lived, trained, and ate together every day, yet Morkel's ability to weave ninjutsu so seamlessly was beyond comprehension. Meanwhile, he was still struggling to master Rasengan!
Sasuke, standing by, was equally shocked. Not only had Morkel mastered Water and Fire Styles alongside the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he also demonstrated an exceptional command over Earth Style.
The three Grass ninjas who had intended to support Morkel were left feeling inadequate.
"This red-haired kid is a monster," one of them muttered.
"Yeah, his Earth Style is advanced. The way he chained multiple walls together—most Chunin can't even do that!"
"And did you see the way he used the Yellow Spring Swamp? He predicted exactly where they'd land and narrowed its range accordingly. His chakra control is insane!"
Realizing how valuable an alliance with Morkel would be, one of them regretted not bribing for answers during the first exam.
Morkel, meanwhile, studied the struggling Sound Ninjas thoughtfully. He could have finished them with a single fire attack, but he decided against it. After all, he was just a student and hadn't truly taken a life before.
The trapped Sound Ninjas were in disarray.
"We underestimated him..."
"I thought he only knew Flying Thunder God! But he's got Fire and Earth Style too?!"
"We were careless. Any genius who learns Flying Thunder God is bound to be skilled in other techniques."
Tos sighed. "Not just skilled—his seal speed is terrifying. Three to four times faster than the average ninja!"
"And it feels like he's still holding back..."
Jin, submerged up to his neck, shouted, "Can we stop talking and focus on getting out of here?!"
Tos turned to Morkel. "Hey! Can you help us?"
Naruto and Sasuke were outraged.
"You attacked us, and now you want help?!"
But Morkel simply smiled. "Okay."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"But they just attacked us!" Naruto protested.
Morkel replied calmly, "How can I watch three lives disappear? Konoha is our home ground. We need to think strategically."
Naruto pondered over this. Morkel had a point—Kakashi had emphasized that they were representing their village. Showing mercy here demonstrated the power and dignity of the Land of Fire.
However, Karin, observing from the side, smirked. "I bet Morkel wants them to pay for their lives."
"You guessed right," Morkel responded casually.
Tos sighed. "How much?"
Morkel held up a single finger.
"Ten thousand?" Tos asked hopefully.
"One hundred thousand. Each."
Tos groaned. "Why not just hold up ten fingers?"
"That would look silly."
"We don't have that kind of money!" Tos protested.
"Then there's nothing to discuss," Morkel shrugged, turning away.
Naruto leaned in. "Didn't you say we should be generous? If they stay in the swamp too long, they might die."
Morkel smirked. "Sometimes, great nations must also show their iron will."
In the shadows, Orochimaru watched, eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Morkel… you truly exceeded my expectations. Fire, Earth, Flying Thunder God… such versatility."
However, he frowned. "A pity he has no Kekkei Genkai. Otherwise, he'd surpass Sasuke as my ideal vessel."
Just then, a giant snake burst from the forest, charging straight at Morkel and Sasuke.
Morkel dodged swiftly, forming seals mid-air. "Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
Boom!
Blazing flames roared from Morkel's mouth, consuming the snake entirely. The sheer intensity of the technique turned the massive summon into a charred husk within seconds.
Orochimaru was stunned.
The power of that jutsu exceeded his own by at least four times!
"Impossible…"
Even Anko, watching from the central tower, was speechless.
"What kind of monster is this kid?!"
