Chapter 122: Girl Black Earth! Morkel! Immortal Technique! Wood Style Binding!

"You must be Morkel from Konoha. You are indeed young and promising. It would be better if you don't cause trouble in our Land of Earth."

"Hehehe."

Morkel said politely, "You are young and ignorant, so I am here to apologize."

"No matter what the outcome of the meeting is, I accept it."

Ōnoki didn't expect that Morkel, who was so powerful, would be so respectful and humble. It was truly rare!

There must be a reason why this kid has come to this point today!

He immediately exclaimed, "Konoha Village is really full of talented people!!"

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from the Land of Earth side, so Ōnoki explained, "This matter concerns the territory and border security of the Land of Earth, so we have to wait for a while to invite the Daimyo."

Tsunade nodded in understanding.

When Morkel heard this, his eyes rolled around.

He wondered if he could let the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, demonstrate Dust Release.

Morkel had a strong understanding of ninjutsu, but the bloodline limit was complicated and generally depended on family inheritance. Not to mention, the elimination of bloodlines that surpassed the bloodline limit wasn't easy to comprehend.

But Morkel, as a top student from Earth, had a strong desire to understand things he didn't fully grasp.

Simply put, he loved to learn!

So, Morkel began to praise the old Tsuchikage, "Grandpa Tsuchikage, I heard that you have mastered the bloodline elimination that exceeds the bloodline limit, and your strength is immense…"

Who is Morkel?

The rising star of the ninja world! The genius who single-handedly brought down the Rain Shinobi!

It's no exaggeration to say that he was the candidate for the next Ninja God!

Therefore, Ōnoki was very pleased with the young man's praise.

He immediately said with some pride, "I learned my Dust Release from the Second Tsuchikage. Morkel, your Wood Style is indeed powerful, but the Bloodline Limit is still a little inferior to the Bloodline Elimination."

Morkel didn't refute it. To make the old man happy, he followed Ōnoki's words and said, "Grandpa Tsuchikage has a point."

Tsunade, who was standing beside them, stared at Morkel. Why was this guy so polite? He must be up to something!

Sure enough, Morkel's next words confirmed Tsunade's suspicions.

Morkel said, "Grandpa Tsuchikage, it's still some time before the Daimyo of the Land of Earth arrives."

"I've loved studying various ninjutsu since I was a child."

"Can you show me the Dust Release Technique?"

After hearing this, Ōnoki hesitated for a moment.

The entire ninja world knew that Morkel's ability to comprehend was unmatched.

One person mastered multiple bloodline limits. How terrifying!

Now he was asking to learn Dust Release? Was Morkel trying to secretly learn it?

However, Ōnoki quickly dismissed his doubts.

Are you kidding? Dust Release is a new ninjutsu that combines wind, earth, and fire attributes. It is much more difficult than a bloodline limit!

When he first learned Dust Release from the Second Hokage, it took him several years to get started!

Learning it in one glance? Impossible!

So, in order to show off his Tsuchikage demeanor, Ōnoki agreed to Morkel's request: "Okay, if you want to see it, I'll show off my skills a little bit."

Morkel smiled and nodded. "Okay."

Then, Ōnoki's body floated up, and he reverently formed a simple seal in the air.

"Dust Release: Original World Separation Technique!"

Ōnoki's old palm opened, and a little light appeared in the palm. The light expanded and turned into a square array seal!

Then, the square formed by Dust Release chakra flew out and surrounded a teacup on the conference table!

Then!

"READ!"

The teacup was gone!

Tsunade, watching from the side, exclaimed in amazement: "Directly decomposing things into an atomic state! What a terrifying ninjutsu!"

After saying that, Tsunade looked at Morkel beside her.

Not sure if it was because of her sharp eyesight, Tsunade felt that Morkel's pupils seemed to flash red…

"How strange…"

Tsunade muttered.

After Ōnoki finished his demonstration, Morkel applauded and said, "Great! I don't know how you did it, but it feels awesome!"

Ōnoki smiled and said, "No, no, it's all thanks to ninjutsu. As long as you practice hard, you can reach my level."

As soon as Ōnoki finished speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"This kid's current level seems to have surpassed mine!"

After hearing this, Morkel's mouth curled into a slight smile.

Just now, in order to carefully study the process of Ōnoki demonstrating Dust Release, Morkel had opened his Sharingan and copied the technique.

After observation, he found that although Dust Release was difficult, it could still be used with some effort.

The three of them chatted for a while longer, and then Huang Tu arrived with the Daimyo of the Land of Earth and the top brass of Iwagakure.

The Daimyo of the Land of Earth was a dignified old man. As soon as he entered the room, he sat down and took the main seat at the conference table.

Then, he looked at everyone from a leadership perspective and said in an unquestionable tone, "No matter what, the accident at the Jinlun Mountain Range really happened, and the compensation of 500 billion is very reasonable."

Tsunade was a little embarrassed. "Konoha Village really doesn't have that much money right now. Is there any other solution?"

The chief of the Land of Earth glanced at Tsunade, his attention falling on the Hokage hat in front of her. His expression softened a little. "You can also use other valuables to pay off the debt, such as gold, gems, etc…"

Tsunade hesitated. "Uh, this…"

When Morkel heard the chief of the Land Kingdom mention "gems," his eyes suddenly lit up.

Oh yes, how could I have forgotten about Crystal Style!

That technique can turn anything into crystals. The gems it creates are crystal clear. Maybe they're worth something…

"If I use gems to pay off my debts, how big a gem would I need?" Morkel asked.

The chief of the Land of Earth glanced at Morkel, seemingly not expecting the young man to ask such a question, and replied, "It must be at least as big as Mount Xumi!"

This request was simply unreasonable.

Looking across the entire continent, it was hard to find gems the size of a fist, let alone one as big as Mount Xumi!

However, Morkel asked in return, "Is this all right?"

The leader of the Land Kingdom was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "That's right! As long as you can find a gem that big, the Land Kingdom will no longer ask you for any compensation!"

In fact, when Ōnoki heard Morkel's question, he felt something was wrong!

He wanted to stop his leader from speaking, but by the time he made a move, it was too late.

"Captain, are we being too hasty in doing this?"

Ōnoki said.

The chief of the Land Kingdom waved his hand, "It's okay. Even if they search for a hundred years, they won't be able to find a gem that big."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the chief of the Land Kingdom finished speaking, Morkel stood up straight and said with a smile, "Come on, follow me. I will bring you the gem you want now."

When Tsunade heard this, she thought Morkel might have had a brain short-circuit. She wanted to stop him.

However, when she looked up and saw Morkel's determined eyes, she finally chose to trust him!

"Let's go."

Tsunade's voice was a bit uncertain as she spoke.

The chief of the Land of Earth was also stunned, "Didn't you hear me clearly? I meant a gem as big as Mount Sumeru!"

Morkel nodded. "I understand. I'll bring the gems to you right away. Just follow me."

A group of Iwagakure's senior officials and the chief of the Land of Earth followed Morkel out of Iwagakure.

When they got outside the village, a senior Rock Shinobi said with a bit of dissatisfaction, "What's the point of bringing us outside the village? Are there any gems here? Why can't I see any?"

Another high-ranking official whispered, "He took us out of the village. Could it be that he wanted to attack us?"

Someone nearby echoed, "I think what you said makes sense. He can even destroy the Rain Shinobi, so it's not impossible for him to destroy Rock Shinobi…"

Seeing that the discussion was going off-track, Ōnoki raised his hand to calm everyone down.

Then, he turned to Morkel, "Morkel, where is the gem mountain you mentioned?"

"Playing tricks on the great leader will affect diplomatic relations between the two countries."

"Don't worry."

Morkel turned around, and the face of an immortal appeared in his eyes and between his eyebrows!

Then, Morkel formed a seal with a solemn expression!

"Immortal Art: Crystal Mountain Appears!!!"

After Morkel finished speaking, everything remained normal for about ten seconds with no movement.

A senior official of the Land Kingdom couldn't help but ask, "The momentum is so strong, how come there is no movement after waiting for so long?"

Morkel didn't intend to argue with him, and said with a curled lip, "Don't worry, let Chakra fly for a while."

The next moment, a rumbling sound came from under everyone's feet!

Next up!

"…!"

A crystal point popped up from the ground, as big as a wardrobe!

Seeing this, the chief of the Land Kingdom shook his head and said with a smile, "Although crystals of this size are very rare, they are still far from the Mount Xumi I mentioned."

Morkel did not respond to the leader's words but formed another seal.

"Wood Style·Vine Binding!"

"Swish, swish, swish!!"

Vines sprouted out from the ground and wrapped around everyone!

Not only did the chief of the Land of Earth show a look of shock, but even the guards following him panicked.

They quickly got into a fighting stance: "Morkel, what do you want to do? Do you want to attack my leader?"

Of course, they were just talking tough.

Because when faced with the tough vines created by Morkel using Wood Style, they had no power to resist and were quickly tied up tightly!

Ōnoki was also entangled by the vines. He asked in disbelief, "Morkel, don't be impulsive…"

However, before Ōnoki could finish his words, the sharp corner of the crystal that emerged from the ground pushed up again!

Next up!

"Hualalala…"

The lower part of Crystal Mountain was exposed above the ground, like a sharp sword piercing the sky!

Ten seconds later, the entire Crystal Mountain suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes!

At this moment, Ōnoki finally understood Morkel's intention in releasing the vines.

He was afraid that the crystal mountain emerging from the ground might hurt everyone, so he used vines to control their movements...

Beside Ōnoki, the chief of the Land of Earth widened his eyes.

The accompanying guards were all stunned, looking up and exclaiming in amazement.

"A miracle! It's definitely a miracle!"

"It's breathtaking, just unbelievable!!"

"Even if a god descended to earth, he couldn't do this!!"

After a while, the chief of the Land of Earth turned stiffly to look at Morkel, his voice full of disbelief, "How did you do that?"

"Could it be that this crystal mountain was originally buried under this land?"

Morkel shook his head.

How could this be possible?

This crystal was condensed by him using natural energy, and it cost almost nothing.

But if he said this directly, the leader of the Land of Earth would feel unbalanced.

So, Morkel made up a story: "I used Chakra to communicate with the underground mineral veins and gathered the scattered crystals together to create this."

At this point, Morkel pretended to be weak.

"Ah, using this move has exhausted the Chakra in my body."

"Even if it recovers, its strength will be greatly reduced—less than one-tenth of its original strength…"

Ōnoki, standing at the side, asked in confusion, "Will using immortal arts also deplete Chakra?"

Morkel thought: This old man is quite knowledgeable...

So he continued lying, "You've never used magic, so you don't understand that even magic requires the consumption of one's physical and mental strength."

"I consumed too much this time…"

After hearing Morkel's words, the chief of the Land of Earth raised his head and looked at the Crystal Mountain with sparkling eyes.

To be honest, he wasn't very satisfied with the way Morkel created the crystal mountain.

But Morkel's weak appearance made him very satisfied.

The output of this crystal mountain would not only make money for himself, but it also made the Fire Nation lose Morkel, a powerful asset…

What a great value!!

Morkel, who was standing by, keenly noticed the change in the expression of the Land Kingdom leader.

Therefore, in order to make the old man feel completely at ease with him and avoid any further doubts from Ōnoki, Morkel simply closed his eyes and fell backward.

Before that...
