Ibiki Morino, an interrogation expert, runs the written test. Kotetsu and Izumo guard the classroom with a genjutsu and later work as gate guards and as Tsunade's assistants. Hayate Gekkō referees the preliminaries and dies spying on a secret meeting between Baki and Kabuto. Genma replaces him in the finals. Raidō and Aoba are support jōnin who reappear as escorts.","lvl":0,"ch":"naruto-92","pos":92},{"h":"Civilian life and the council","t":"The village also has civilians and authorities away from combat. Teuchi and his daughter Ayame run the Ichiraku ramen stand, Naruto's usual refuge. Mizuki, an Academy teacher, tricks Naruto into stealing the Scroll of Seals; in an anime-only arc he escapes from prison and faces Iruka again. Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, Hiruzen's former teammates, advise the Hokage. Sharing a village does not make them related.","lvl":0},{"h":"Stories from the anime","t":"The Part I anime expands several villagers. In the Land of Tea arc, Naruto escorts Idate Morino in a race; the anime reveals he is Ibiki's brother, a kinship that does not appear in the manga. Other episodes develop Ayame, kidnapped by a gang of ninja cooks, or Mizuki, who escapes from prison, drinks one of Orochimaru's formulas and faces Iruka again until Naruto beats him with the Rasengan. These details are marked as anime-only so they are not mixed up with the original story.","lvl":0,"ep":"naruto-168","pos":238},{"h":"The village against the Akatsuki","t":"In Shippūden, the monk Chiriku, of the Fire Temple, dies at the hands of Hidan and Kakuzu. Izumo and Kotetsu go with Asuma on the pursuit, and Raidō and Aoba arrive to hold off Kakuzu after Asuma falls. Shiho, a codebreaker, works with Shikamaru to decipher the message Jiraiya left. When Pain destroys Konoha, the villagers rebuild everything with help from old friends such as Inari and Tazuna.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-451","pos":451},{"h":"Later families and ties","t":"Some villagers gain weight in later stages. Kizashi and Mebuki Haruno, Sakura's parents, appear mostly in anime and movie material, and their ties are detailed on their profiles. In the anime's war, Kabuto reanimates Hayate, and Yūgao, his partner, ends up freeing him. These episodes are a reminder that behind the big names there are ninja and civilians with lives of their own, and that a brief manga scene can have an anime continuation that is best read as such.","lvl":1,"ep":"shippuden-308","pos":558}],"characters":["ibiki","genma","hayate","yugao","kotetsu","izumo","raido","aoba","homura","koharu","kizashi","mebuki","mizuki","shiho","chiriku","idate","teuchi","ayame","sakura"],"related":["chakra","kirigakure","kumogakure","iwagakure","amegakure","otogakure","uzushiogakure","valle-del-fin","bosque-de-la-muerte","raiz","alianza-shinobi","policia-uchiha","rangos-ninja","kage","examenes-chunin","rangos-de-mision"],"reference":"Official series and chapter guides as reading context.
