Gaara of the Sand Waterfall

Charlotte continued, "Of course, in the worldview of ordinary people, it's perfectly normal for such beings to be called gods."

Coulson nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Charlotte's assessment.

As Nick Fury's confidant, he was also in charge of these special projects and possessed intelligence unknown to others.

For example, the corpse in Tahiti made Coulson realize that there are not only Earthlings in the universe, but also other planets with life. However, with Earth's current technology, interstellar travel is not yet possible, nor is it possible to travel to other Living Planet.

Charlotte continued, "As for the organization and strength of the other party..."

"Asgard is ruled by All-Father Odin of the Asgard, Odin also unified the Nine Realms long ago."

"Everything, including Earth, is under their control."

"What?"

"The Earth has been ruled? How is this possible? We will not accept it, nor will we compromise!"

Seeing Coulson's continued excitement, Charlotte didn't immediately explain, but instead continued, "The Asgard possesses terrifying power, with Energy Weapon capable of destroying planets, and also the Bifrost for interstellar teleportation."

"In terms of individual strength, even the weakest soldier in the Asgard is stronger than the most elite soldier on Earth."

"And the most powerful of them all, Odin, possesses the ability to destroy the world; when he unleashes his full power, he can easily destroy a planet."

Charlotte briefly described the lower and upper limits of the power of the Asgard.

As Charlotte recounted her story, Coulson's jaw dropped.

The enemy possesses planet-destroying weapons and God King -level beings capable of destroying planets. What can S.H.I.E.L.D.. do to resist?

Even so, Earthlings will not accept the rule of any other power, even if that power is a god.

Charlotte asked playfully, "So what are you planning to do?"

"Should we go to war with the Asgard?"

Seeing Charlotte's amused smile, Coulson said, "Mr. Charlotte, I suppose you have other news to tell me?"

"The Asgard has ruled the Nine Realms for countless years. To them, Earth is merely a title of rule. After all, back then, no one on Earth dared to voice their opposition to Odin's rule in the universe."

"Furthermore, for over a thousand years, the Aesir gods have not appeared on Earth to exercise actual rule."

Actually, there's something Charlotte didn't say: Odin simply didn't send troops to garrison Earth, but he didn't neglect the other realms like he did Earth. He dispatched many Asgard warriors who were permanently stationed there.

Hearing Charlotte's words, Coulson seemed to understand. It was just like his own yard. Although he was in charge of his own house, the ants living underground in the yard lived in the area he ruled, but the owner did not manage the lives and development of these ants.

However, the owner's child might bring a kettle of hot water to pour on the ant nest, just like the Destroyer descended upon Mexico. Loki only prevented Thor's return, but neither Loki nor Thor had the slightest thought of taking responsibility for the destroyed town.

Although the final outcome wasn't as brutal as Coulson had initially anticipated, it was still extremely dangerous, so he said, "I understand."

Seeing that Coulson understood her meaning, Charlotte continued to answer the following questions.

"As for the reason why Thor descended to Earth this time, it was merely a trial for Thor by All-Father Odin, and it just so happened that Earth was chosen as the location for the trial."

Coulson was stunned by Charlotte's nonchalant words. He had considered many possibilities, and the S.H.I.E.L.D.. think tank had also made many guesses, but he never expected it to be a test and trial for the prince by the God King.

Charlotte tapped the table a few times with her index finger, then said calmly, "Your intelligence request is now complete."

"Mr. Charlotte, thank you for your help."

"This intelligence is of great value to us."

Coulson then tapped the Bluetooth Headset in his ear twice, and the agents stationed outside the Agency opened the door of the armored vehicle and stepped out carrying twelve Suitcase.

Soon, led by a staff member from the Agency, they arrived at the conference room.

S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents placed all twelve Suitcase in front of Charlotte.

"Mr. Charlotte, each box contains 50 Energy Block, totaling 600. This is the commission for this intelligence gathering."

Charlotte looked at the stack of Suitcase in front of her and nodded in satisfaction.

"Now that the goods have been delivered, I'll take my leave."

After Coulson finished speaking, he left the Agency with the S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents, and once in the car, he immediately said:

"Back to Triskelion!"

Coulson and his team returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters at an even faster pace than they had come.

Upon returning to headquarters, Coulson immediately reported the intelligence he had gathered to Nick Fury.

Nick Fury listened to Coulson's report without showing any surprise, and calmly said, "Okay, I understand!"

With Coulson gone, Nick Fury's inner turmoil was not as calm as he appeared.

Charlotte and the others knew Thor and his group's identities and were aware of Asgard's strength. Nick Fury wasn't surprised; he was already aware of these things.

However, knowing Thor's purpose for appearing on Earth is very suspicious.

After all, Thor had only been on Earth for a few days, and not much time had passed since then.

A God King sealing away his son's power and then sending him to Earth for training must have been a highly confidential matter. The fact that Charlotte found out so quickly suggests that the ninja's forces must be connected to Asgard.

Moreover, the relationship between the two must be very close, otherwise they wouldn't have known so clearly so quickly. After all, even if Thor returned, such a thing could not be made public.

It seems the affairs of ninjas are more complicated than I thought...

Charlotte Agency.

In the Reception Room, after Charlotte saw Coulson leave, she threw the six signed Mission Scroll one by one into the Task Gathering Hall to exchange for rewards.

Ding! Congratulations on completing the A-level mission! You have received 5000 Reputation Points, 500,000 copper coins, and a Exquisite Treasure Chest!

Charlotte was taken aback when she heard it was an A-level mission. A-level missions had been extremely rare over the years; was this intelligence-gathering mission really that high-ranking?

With a skeptical attitude, Charlotte submitted all the remaining Mission Scroll to the Task Gathering Hall.

Ding! Congratulations on completing the A-level mission! You have received 5000 Reputation Points, 500,000 copper coins, and a Exquisite Treasure Chest!

Charlotte was completely surprised to receive A-level ratings for five consecutive missions, which shows that information about extraordinary strength is highly valued in the Task Gathering Hall.

Thinking back to Jiraiya risked his life to obtain information in the original story, it seems I asked for too little.

Looking at the twelve Suitcase in front of her, Charlotte poured out all the Energy Block inside, piling up 600 Energy Block on the ground like a small mountain.

The concentrated blue energy quickly filled the Reception Room with a blue glow.

Ding! Items available for recharge have been found. Do you wish to recharge?

Top up!

With a confirmation message, all the Energy Block in the Reception Room were absorbed by Charlotte's palm, leaving only twelve empty Suitcase.

Ding! Top-up successful! You have received 108,000 Gold Coin!

Charlotte smiled immediately upon receiving six figures in Gold Coin for the first time, indicating that she wouldn't be short of Gold Coin for the time being.

With so many Gold Coin, it seems he can directly obtain Akatsuki's Vermilion Bird Itachi Uchiha through in-game purchases!

Ding! Congratulations Charlotte Doyle, your VIP level has been upgraded to level 9!

Get the VIP9 privilege gift pack!

When purchasing ninjas from the item shop, you can buy up to 9 ninjas per display window per day!

Get the Privilege Pack: 26,000 Copper Coins, 350 Prestige, 4 Ninja Recruitment Scroll, and 50 Bowls of Delicious Ramen!

Ding! Congratulations Charlotte Doyle, your VIP level has been upgraded to level 10!

Free recruitment of VIP Level 10 privileged ninja, Sandstorm Gaara!

Get the Privilege Pack: 28,000 Copper Coins, 400 Prestige, 5 Ninja Recruitment Scroll, and 50 Bowls of Delicious Ramen!

Charlotte was stunned to see her VIP level upgraded twice in a row. She hadn't expected the gains to be so substantial, especially with Sandstorm Gaara. Moreover, Gaara's ninja rank had been upgraded to B-rank.

Without hesitation, Charlotte immediately entered the System Space!

As soon as I entered the System Space, I saw two huge fireworks rise in the sky, which then turned into subtitles.

Congratulations to Charlotte Doyle for reaching VIP level 9!

Congratulations to Charlotte Doyle for reaching VIP level 10!

Ignoring the fireworks rising above the Hokage Rock, Charlotte directly opened the ninja menu.

Immediately, Sandstorm Gaara) portrait was lit up, and below it was marked "Fragment 40/40 - Recruitment!"

Seeing that the free recruitment had turned into 40 fragments and was placed in her ninja slot, Charlotte didn't hesitate at all and clicked "Recruit".

With a flash of light, a new scene appeared before Charlotte.

However, it was his outfit for the Chunin Ninja Exams. He wore Sand Ninja Headband across his waist, carried a huge sand gourd on his back, and had the character for "love" engraved on his head!

Congratulations on recruiting the B-rank Star Ninja - Gaara!

With the ninja recruitment successful, Charlotte's first action was to check the ninja's skills. Charlotte knew that Gaara's skills had been divided into multiple ninjas by the Tesseract.

Before his arrival, there were Sandstorm Gaara, Gaara in Possessed Form, Gaara in Naruto Shippuden, and Gaara in the Shinobi World War. Gaara wonder if this Gaara can Tailed Beast Transformation and how many skills he will possess.

Click to view the ninja's details.

B-rank Shinobu: Gaara

Basic Attack: Control the sand to perform mid-to-long-range attacks.

Skills: Sand Waterfall Funeral, Sand Shower, Sand Waterfall Imperial Hell

Sand Waterfall Funeral: Creates a sand cloud that moves forward on the ground. When the sand cloud hits an enemy, it forms quicksand that envelops the enemy, lifts them into the air, and crushes them. Finally, the sand explodes at the last moment, delivering a fatal blow.

Sand Shower: Summons sand from the ground. The sand briefly hovers in the air before transforming into a sand drop that flies forward, instantly killing any enemies it hits. (When the sand is summoned, the exploding sand will damage nearby enemies and launch them into the air.)

Sand Waterfall Imperial Hell: Summons a large amount of sand from beneath the ground and uses Chakra to form a powerful tornado. Enemies within the sandstorm will suffer devastating damage and will ultimately be killed in mid-air.

(I will strive to become the Kazekage as a Sand Ninja!)

With the successful recruitment of ninjas, Charlotte's strength increased once again, her Chakra reserves increased by 5 cards, and she gained control over Gaara's sand control abilities and skills.

Looking at Gaara's ninja introduction, Charlotte frowned slightly. Just as she had guessed, Gaara, whom she had recruited, could not Tailed Beast Transformation.

Overall, their strength is not much different from what they showed during the Chunin Ninja Exams, except that they no longer have the ability to Tailed Beast Transformation. However, their strength will increase as they Star Upgrade.

Only by recruiting Gaara, can one gain the ability to Tailed Beast Transformation, and the combined strength of the two will greatly increase.

Just like Naruto at this moment, having merged with his past self as Ninja Academy student, he is now much stronger than he was during the Chunin Ninja Exams.

Although it's not perfect, Charlotte can still accept it. After all, recruiting Gaara didn't cost any money; he was practically a free ninja from the system. Moreover, there was a title reward for his deployment slot, so this was a great deal.

Considering that he now had three Sunagakure ninjas under his command, he realized that his idea of establishing a branch base could be put into practice.

The team of three ninjas— Kamatari - Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara— was sufficient to carry out missions at the branch base. Although there was no Jonin the team to oversee the overall situation, Gaara's current strength was enough to handle any external probing.

The expansion of the branch base will likely attract the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D.. and Hydra, but it remains to be seen how many resources they can swindle. In that case, it will be necessary to explain some things to the three of them beforehand.

Having made her decision, Charlotte placed Gaara's Ninja Card directly into the Deployment Slot.

Ding! Please select the location of the manifested B-rank Ninja Gaara.

A. Within three meters of Charlotte Doyle.

B. Randomized display.

After a moment's thought, Charlotte chose to randomly manifest, but she also projected a segment of her memory onto Gaara!

As Charlotte made her choice, the scene before her eyes changed in the next second. The Nine Realms the Yggdrasil suddenly appeared in front of Charlotte, and nine planets appeared in Charlotte's eyes.

This sudden change startled Charlotte. Then, images of nine planets flashed by before finally settling on Earth. The image of Earth shrank and changed until it finally locked onto a desert region in Afghanistan, where Gaara materialized.

Gaara, who has appeared in the Afghanistan desert, is currently processing the memories in his mind and learns that he has come to a strange world, where his older sister and brother have also come. As per Lord Charlotte's request, he needs to find Temari and Kankuro and return to Lord Charlotte with them.

Having just experienced the failure of his invasion of Konoha, Gaara had a completely new definition of his ninja way. Gone was his initial tyranny. Thinking of the mission in his mind, a smile appeared on his lips.

"A mission to find relatives?"

"Interesting!"
