Chapter 397: Hidden Intentions (Patreon)

#Regular Chapter(2/2)

Looking at the mission report sent by Temari and the quantity of each type of metal being only 100 grams, Charles couldn't help but think of Wakanda, secluded in the heart of Africa, living their lives in isolation.

In other places, Vibranium Metal is scarce, with only a tiny share per year from the G5 countries.

But in Wakanda, Vibranium is abundant, used to make cloaks and spears, and it's like wasting a treasure.

When Wakanda shows up or when Charles can personally play with meteorites like Madara, it will be the day he looks for Black Panther and the Wakanda Panther god.

By then, he will take everything, including Vibranium Metal and Heart-Shaped Herb.

If Heart-Shaped Herb can be recharged, he will recharge it all. If not, he will give it to his subordinates to strengthen their bodies.

Besides exchanging metals, there is also the matter of a werewolf corpse that the other party asked.

Other than S.H.I.E.L.D., the only organization with such power and needs in New York is Hydra, and so there's no need to delve into it.

With a plan in mind, Charles replied to Temari, asking her to collect more materials, and she didn't need to investigate the identity of the other party.

After handing over the written letter to the ninja dogs, Charles lay on the bed to rest, waiting for the system mall to update tomorrow to see if he could assemble the Sound Ninjas.

If successful, he plans to have the Sound Five establish a Sound Ninja Base and continue to exploit the resources of S.H.I.E.L.D. for their own use.

It would be best if he could recruit Kabuto or the wandering witch Nono, allowing them to infiltrate the internal affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, mastering the base where they store the special items.

Then, he can let the Akatsuki organization directly raid them.

Without thinking too much, Charles lay on the bed and entered the realm of dreams.

...

The next day-

Barton returned to S.H.I.E.L.D.

As soon as he returned to S.H.I.E.L.D., Barton didn't stay and went directly to the office of Director Nick Fury.

"Director, we failed."

Seeing the somewhat discouraged Barton, Nick Fury pondered for a moment before speaking, "How do you assess the strength of Hidan?"

"Unmatchable; perhaps only ninjas can defeat ninjas."

"Or it may require the existence of Thor or the Hulk to contend with him."

"Ordinary weapons cannot cause him any harm, and as for large-scale nuclear bombs, they cannot be deployed."

"He's very clever. He slaughtered only in third-tier countries.”

"Director, should we hire ninjas to let them fight each other?"

Regarding Barton's suggestion, Nick Fury had considered it yesterday, but after thinking for a while, he said, "We don’t know whether they will accept such tasks."

"Moreover, What about the bodies?"

"Whether it's a living Hidan or a dead Hidan, will they hand him over to us?"

"And against a ninja of this level, what kind of cost would we need to bear?"

Barton was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. After a while, he spoke again, "Maybe we can inquire and see if they will accept.”

Nick Fury tapped the table with his fingers, pondered for a moment, and finally picked up the phone on his desk.

"Call Agent Coulson to my office."

In a few minutes, Coulson pushed open Nick Fury's office door and walked in.

"Director, you wanted to see me."

Nick Fury pulled up Barton's mission report and placed it on the table, saying:

"Take a look at these things first."

Coulson picked up Barton's mission report and began reading, going through the content and watching some combat videos.

"We failed?"

Nick Fury spoke, "Just a temporary setback."

Coulson put down the tablet, looking serious, "Director, what do you need me to do?"

"Go to Charles's base and see if he's back."

"Ask if they are willing to take a mission to capture or kill Hidan and bring back the body."

"If Charles's side is not successful, ask Sunagakure Puppet Shop to see if they are willing to take on this mission."

"As for the reward, they can determine it."

Coulson raised his head, "What if they refuse?"

Nick Fury's face darkened, "Then come back for now and discuss countermeasures."

"Yes, Director!"

Following the instructions, Coulson left the director's office, and Nick Fury looked at Barton nearby, saying, "Take a break during this time and also undergo a full-body checkup and psychological counseling."

"Yes, sir."

After both of them left, the phone in Nick Fury's office rang.

"Nick Fury, I heard that the casualties in S.H.I.E.L.D. have been a bit abnormal recently, with more than two hundred deaths and injuries in a short period."

"I didn't expect things inside the S.H.I.E.L.D to even alarm you at the World Security Council."

"I was the previous director after all, and there are still many agents that I trained. So many people died abnormally in a short time. How could it not alarm me?"

"Do you need me to do something to help?"

Nick Fury remained silent for a moment, then spoke, "Not for now. If it really comes to that, I hope you can make our military appear where it needs."

"Rest assured, Fury, I will support you."

"Thank you, Pierce."

After hanging up the phone, Pierce at the other end had a smile on his face. He lit a cigar, and started smoking.

Most of the special agents lost by S.H.I.E.L.D. were not from Hydra, so even if S.H.I.E.L.D. lost more, he didn't feel any heartache.

As for the appearance of the rogue ninja Hidan, it actually attracted Pierce's attention. He had the intelligence and mission reports that Nick Fury obtained, but Pierce and Nick Fury had completely different ideas.

He didn't want Hidan to die.

Instead, he wanted to bring him into Hydra, as a rogue joining another organization would be even better.

Pierce then contacted the Hydra base and issued a task.

Find Hidan, find out his demands, and try to recruit him into Hydra.

…

On the other side-

Charles woke up in his room.

The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to do the system check-in.

"Ding · Check-in successful, get 50 servings of delicious ramen!"

After getting up from the bed, Charles quickly freshened up and then entered the system space.

Once inside, he headed straight to the system mall to confirm if there was Kisame Hoshigaki among the ninjas updated today.

Opening the ninja interface in the system mall, the avatars of four ninjas came into view.
