Morio debuted in the Fourth Great Shinobi War. He was first seen in the Logistical Support and Medical Division's compound, where Sakura Haruno diligently attended to his injuries. Later, Neji Hyuga's observant eyes caught glimpses of Morio skulking around the barracks on multiple occasions, raising suspicions about his intentions.
Later, Morio mustered the courage to return to Sakura's tent. With a mix of nervousness and genuine affection, he presented her with a carefully crafted love letter, confessing that he couldn't banish thoughts of her from his mind, especially after she took care of his wounds.
Gracious in her response, Sakura expressed her gratitude but candidly revealed that her heart already belonged to another. Morio, upon receiving this unexpected revelation, mustered a sincere apology for the inconvenience caused. Then he left the tent in disappointment.
At first, Morio seemed suspicious, lurking in the shadows near the medical compound, which made people unsure about his intentions. However, later it was revealed that Morio is a kind person, although he was shy and quiet.
When Sakura took care of his injuries with compassion, Morio started to admire her deeply, and this admiration turned into a strong crush that he couldn't hide anymore. With nervous hands, Morio gathered courage and wrote a heartfelt love letter to Sakura, expressing his feelings.
But Sakura, being the kind person she is, gently turned down his advances, explaining that her heart was already committed to someone else. Even though Morio felt disappointed, he accepted Sakura's response gracefully, understanding that someone else was fortunate enough to have her love.
Morio is a lean, young man with short black hair and small black eyes. He wears the typical flak jacket and uniform of the Hidden Stone Village, which is half-torn. He also wears the usual headband of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Due to a limited appearance, the information regarding Morio’s abilities is unavailable.
