Congratulations on successfully recruiting the new ninja, C-rank: Temari.

Opening the ninja details, Charles first focused on the ninja skills.

Temari: C-rank ninja, one star

Basic Attack: Wields a three-star fan as a weapon to attack enemies.

Skills: Dance of the Gale, Whirlwind Wall, Summoning Technique - Dance of Slashing Strikes.

Dance of the Gale: Rapidly spins the fan to create a whirlwind attacking enemies around the body.

Whirlwind Wall: Continuously uses the fan to create vacuum blades and storms to attack enemies.

Summoning Technique - Dance of Kamatari: Uses summoning technique to summon Kamatari, then Kamatari throws out rapidly spinning sickles to form a huge tornado, continuously attacking enemies and dealing a fatal blow to those sucked into the tornado.

After glancing at Temari's three skills, Charles knew that the strength of Temari would be further enhanced after she merged with this new Temari.

Clicking to receive the ninja, Charles's chakra increased by 1 point again, reaching a chakra level of 135 points. At the same time, he obtained Temari's ninjutsu skills, deepening his understanding of Wind Release and how to create tornadoes.

As Temari was recruited, Charles shifted his gaze to another C-rank ninja, Nara Shikamaru, and directly proceeded with the ninja recruitment.

In the next moment, a new screen popped up.

Nara Shikamaru, with his pineapple-shaped hair, tied his ninja headband around his arm. He held several shurikens pierced together with steel wires in his hands, ready to attack the enemy.

Congratulations on successfully recruiting the new ninja, C-rank: Nara Shikamaru.

Opening the ninja details, Charles first focused on the ninja skills.

Nara Shikamaru: C-rank ninja, one star

Basic Attack: Uses Taijutsu to attack enemies.

Skills: Explosive Soaring Blades, Shadow Manipulation Jutsu, Shadow Stitching Jutsu.

Explosive Soaring Blades: Jumps back into the air and throws three shurikens with explosive tags attached to the ground. The shurikens explode upon landing, causing damage to enemies.

Shadow Manipulation Jutsu: Controls his own shadow to charge forward, then quickly pulls it back, pulling the enemies touched back towards himself.

Shadow Stitching Jutsu: Using a large amount of chakra, splits one's own shadow and materializes it, launching continuous piercing attacks on a wide range of enemies in front.

After looking at Nara Shikamaru's three skills, Charles silently thought to himself that these Yin Release family secret techniques might come in handy one day.

Then, clicking to recruit the ninja, Charles's chakra increased by 1 point again, and at the same time, the knowledge of the Nara clan's secret techniques was also instilled in his mind.

Having consecutively recruited two C-rank ninjas, Charles's gaze now fell on the last remaining ninja, Kurenai Yuhi.

For Kurenai Yuhi, it wasn't just about completing Team 8 or obtaining new ninja fragments; it was also about enhancing his genjutsu abilities.

Currently, besides the abilities inherent to the Sharingan, Charles didn't possess any other genjutsu skills. Kurenai Yuhi's appearance would supplement his genjutsu skills.

Recruit!

In the next moment, a new screen popped up.

Kurenai Yuhi formed hand seals with one hand and held shurikens in other hand as she struck an attacking pose.

Congratulations on successfully recruiting the new ninja, B-rank: Kurenai Yuhi.

Opening the ninja details, Charles first focused on the ninja skills.

Kurenai Yuhi: B-rank ninja, two stars

Basic Attack: Uses taijutsu to attack enemies while wielding shurikens.

Skills: Illusion: Binding, Genjutsu: Haze, Genjutsu: Three Absolute Lotus.

Illusion: Binding: Creates a giant illusionary tree in front, attempting to bind enemies to the tree. If successful, Kurenai Yuhi will leap out from the tree, delivering a powerful shuriken attack.

Genjutsu: Haze: Creates a moving illusion, which explodes upon contact with enemies, causing severe damage.

Genjutsu: Three Absolute Lotus: Generates three huge illusionary lotus flowers around oneself, which explode shortly after appearing, destroying nearby enemies.

Seeing that all three ninjutsu skills of Kurenai Yuhi were illusions, Charles was quite satisfied. With Kurenai Yuhi's presence, her Team 8 was finally complete.

Clicking to receive the ninja, Charles's chakra directly increased by 5 points in the next second, and at the same time, all three genjutsu skills of Kurenai Yuhi appeared in his mind.

Ding! Congratulations to Charles Doyle for obtaining the new title "Team 8: Assemble!"

Reward: One ninja deployment slot!

Hearing the reward of a ninja deployment slot, Charles nodded satisfactorily, as everything unfolded just as he had expected.

At this moment, there were still four ninjas left in the ninja bar: Obito Uchiha, Kurenai Yuhi, Nara Shikamaru, and Temari.

Four ninjas required three deployment slots, but Charles only had one deployment slot at hand. However, considering that he was currently in Jotunheim, Charles didn't have the idea of either fusing the ninja cards or summoning them to the present world.

After all, bringing a genjutsu user or a low-level ninja to Jotunheim wouldn't be of any help; it might even require him to protect them.

As for fusing the ninja cards, it would require removing Temari's ninja card first, and Charles didn't know the situation with Temari right now, so it wasn't suitable to proceed with this operation.

Moreover, the random manifestation made Charles even more hesitant.

Now, she was in Jotunheim, and it was possible that the random manifestation might drop her randomly in some corner of this planet.

If she was unlucky, she might even end up in the Nine Realms, which would be very troublesome.

At this moment, Thor in the underground cave opened his eyes and looked at Charles. In just a short time, Charles's chakra had surged by 7 points.

This amount of chakra was not low, and the sudden fluctuation caught Thor's attention. Watching Charles's enhanced aura, he silently thought, "Charles's strength has actually increased again."

Thinking of this, Thor felt somewhat depressed. After this battle, he didn't feel any enhancement in his own strength. On the contrary, he had suffered some minor injuries due to being frozen by the opponent.

Thinking about it, Thor thought to himself, "It seems that the intensity of the battle wasn't enough. The enemy didn't even force me to reveal my full potential."

Just as Thor was contemplating, Charles's consciousness emerged from the system space and looked at Thor beside him, saying, "How's your recovery going?"

Thor shook his head, "It still needs a bit more time, but it doesn't hinder me from fighting."

"Congratulations, your strength has been improved."

Charles smiled: "It's improved a little, but not a lot."

Thor was speechless hearing that. He hadn't experienced even the slightest increase in his own strength, which was quite absurd.

Charles pondered for a moment before speaking, "We're now deep in enemy territory. Let's adjust our state to the best and be prepared for any crisis at all times."
