konoha:I'm the God of ninja world

As soon as Morkel looked at him just now, he knew that Morkel had left the Flying Thunder God mark on Zabuza.

In a hurry, Kakashi could only trust Morkel and believe that he could restrain Zabuza. So, he used his Sharingan to engage in a ninjutsu confrontation with Zabuza, creating an opportunity for Morkel.

The result was obvious—Morkel had lived up to expectations!

At the same time, everything Morkel had just shown made Kakashi even more surprised!

In a brief battle with Zabuza, Morkel used the Eight Inner Gates, the Flying Thunder God Technique, and Water Style ninjutsu.

This kid could use every technique with ease, as if it were second nature! Even his speed at performing Water Style seals was faster than Kakashi's in the final exchange!

Genius.

Kakashi couldn't think of a better word to describe Morkel.

"What just happened? Did you see that clearly?"

Naruto poked Sasuke beside him, his expression blank.

He only remembered that Zabuza came up to him and swung his sword a few times. Then, after a brief ninjutsu battle with Kakashi, he was inexplicably trapped by Morkel!

"I… I didn't see clearly how he did it," Sasuke admitted, his voice filled with frustration.

He had realized the gap between himself and Morkel.

This wasn't something that could be made up for with simple hard work!

What on earth did this guy eat to grow up knowing so many powerful jutsu?

Could it be that his prenatal education consisted of learning hand seals?!

On the other side, Zabuza, trapped in the water prison, felt utterly humiliated.

But he didn't even know how to express it, and his face turned red with shame.

How embarrassing!

He, a Mist Shinobi feared for his silent assassinations, had been trapped by a mere Konoha Genin in just a few moves!

Now, he was stuck inside a water prison like a captured animal!

Zabuza had never felt such humiliation before.

"Morkel, how do we deal with this guy?"

Morkel asked, still maintaining the Water Prison Technique.

"Let Kirigakure handle it. This man is a rogue ninja from the Mist Village. They have special tracking units dedicated to retrieving or eliminating missing-nin."

Kakashi replied after a moment of thought.

"Why not just take care of him ourselves to avoid future trouble?"

Morkel asked, his voice calm but firm.

Kakashi explained, "Eliminating him outright might create unnecessary conflicts."

"The bodies of ninjas contain their village's secrets—ninjutsu techniques, chakra attributes, and even the composition of special medicines they've used."

Kakashi continued, "If my body fell into enemy hands, the secrets of my Sharingan and our jutsu would soon be exposed."

"I see… but if we dispose of him quietly and leave no trace, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Naruto interjected at this point.

Just then, a voice came from a nearby treetop.

"Young man, I heard everything you just said."

Morkel and the others turned to see a masked ninja standing on a tree branch.

"That's a Mist Village tracker ninja," Kakashi stated, glancing at the ninja's mask.

"A hunter-nin, responsible for dealing with missing-nin who betray the village."

"They ensure rogue ninjas are eliminated properly, so their secrets don't fall into the wrong hands."

Kakashi elaborated further.

"I see," Morkel nodded in understanding.

The Mist tracker ninja leaped down, landing gracefully on the water near Morkel.

He glanced at Morkel with slight surprise—this young boy had trapped Zabuza using a Water Prison Technique?

The hunter-nin then pulled a few senbon needles from his pouch and spoke, "Please release the Water Prison Technique."

"Won't this guy just escape?" Morkel asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it," the masked ninja assured confidently.

Morkel glanced at Kakashi, who gave him a slight nod of approval.

Trusting his sensei's judgment, Morkel retracted his hand, remaining wary of the Mist ninja.

"Splash!"

The water prison instantly dissolved, releasing Zabuza's motionless form!

As soon as he was free, the Mist tracker ninja swiftly pierced Zabuza's neck with his needles!

Zabuza's body collapsed limply onto the ground, completely lifeless.

"Thank you for your assistance. I will handle Zabuza's remains and his weapon accordingly."

The hunter-nin stated before vanishing with Zabuza's body.

Naruto, still on the shore, clenched his fists in frustration.

"Really? We fought so hard for so long, and in the end, someone else just comes in and finishes the job!"

Sasuke, his arms crossed, looked unimpressed. "Why are you getting so worked up? Morkel did most of the work just now."

Naruto was speechless for a moment before huffing, "I still feel bad for Morkel!"

At that moment, Uncle Dazna stepped forward.

"Alright, thank you all. We're close to my house now. Let's get moving."

"We've been walking forever! I just want a bowl of ramen," Naruto groaned, rubbing his empty stomach.

"I want braised pork," Morkel simply stated.

"Huh? Never heard of that dish!" Uncle Dazna looked surprised.

"I haven't either," Kakashi admitted, scratching his head.

"You guys don't know?" Morkel raised an eyebrow before explaining, "Braised pork is made from fatty and lean pork belly, cooked with special seasonings. The end result is sweet, soft, rich in flavor, and melts in your mouth!"

"That sounds amazing!" Sasuke admitted, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

The ever-hungry Naruto was already drooling. "Morkel, you can cook, right? When can you make it for us? I wanna eat it so bad!"

Morkel smirked. "Why don't you learn to cook for yourself?"

Meanwhile, in a secluded forest…

The Mist tracker ninja carried Zabuza's seemingly lifeless body through the dense trees.

Finally stopping in a quiet clearing, he removed the senbon needles from Zabuza's neck.

"Cough…!"

Zabuza suddenly coughed, gasping for air.

"As expected of the Copy Ninja Kakashi… he actually pushed you to this point," the hunter-nin remarked.

Though he had seen Morkel trap Zabuza in the water prison, he still assumed it was part of Kakashi's grand strategy.

"Actually, Kakashi barely did anything," Zabuza grumbled, shame evident in his voice.

"It was that kid. He not only knows the Flying Thunder God Technique but has also mastered Water Style ninjutsu at a ridiculous level…"

The masked hunter-nin's eyes widened in shock.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique? That time-space jutsu… wasn't it only used by the Fourth Hokage?"

Zabuza raised a hand to interrupt him.

"Don't remind me—I know."

"Also… take off that disguise."
