Kankuro's Visit

Seeing that Sunagakure had no intention of cooperating and their demands were as high as Charlotte's, Coulson immediately changed the subject.

"I wish to visit your leader in Sunagakure. What is the proper way to obtain this qualification?"

Seeing that there was no hope for deeper cooperation, Coulson set his sights on the location of the Sunagakure. Only by visiting them could he obtain their location.

Upon hearing Coulson's words, Temari narrowed her eyes and smiled, "It's not impossible for me to visit Sunagakure."

"If you're willing to give me the Tesseract, I can try to persuade my father to accept your visit."

Coulson paused slightly upon hearing Temari's words. Father?

She mentioned visiting the leader of Sunagakure), could her father be...?

Who is your father?

However, Temari did not answer Coulson's question, but pointed to the stopwatch on the table and said, "Time's up."

Coulson looked in the direction Temari was pointing and realized that another minute had passed.

"One more Puppet."

In just four minutes, Coulson had already thrown out 200 Energy Block, but it was all worth it to confirm the information.

Temari casually shot out a Chakra Threads, pulling a Puppet from the counter and placing it on the table.

Although Temari is more skilled in Wind Style, she still has no problem using Chakra Threads to pick up the Puppet.

Seeing Temari's move, Coulson secretly memorized it, intending to analyze it later.

After placing the Puppet on the table, Temari began to speak.

"My father is Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure."

"Kazekage?"

"Yes, the leader of Sunagakure is the Kazekage."

"Is the leader of Konoha called Konoha?"

Coulson had initially wondered if the leader was called the village chief, but it turned out to be called the Kazekage.

Temari burst into laughter upon hearing Coulson's words.

"Hahaha·"

Temari laughed so hard she almost fell over. Coulson, somewhat confused, still managed to ask, "Did I say something wrong?"

"The leader of Konoha isn't called the Kage, but the Hokage."

Coulson realized he had guessed wrong, and then asked uncertainly, "Are all the leaders of ninja villages called Kage?"

"Not all village leaders are entitled to the title of Kage. Even if their strength reaches the Kage Level or surpasses that of ordinary Kage Level shinobi, they still cannot be called Kage."

Only the leaders of the Five Great Shinobi Villages can be called Kage.

What are the Five Great Shinobi Villages?

"Sunagakure, Konoha, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure."

A minute passed in the blink of an eye. After only a few questions, the time was up, and Coulson had used up all the Energy Block he brought today.

However, Coulson didn't lose out. He asked more questions in four minutes than he would have asked in four. In Charlotte Agency, he would have had to pay a much higher price to get this kind of information.

He even suspected that Charlotte would accept 50 Energy Block from the name of a ninja village.

"Thank you so much for the explanation, Temari. The Energy Block I brought today are only enough to buy four Puppet. I hope I can buy puppets here again next time."

Coulson then tapped the Bluetooth on his ear, and within minutes two Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. walked in, approached Coulson, and placed four suitcases on the ground.

Coulson pointed to the four puppets on the table and said to the two men, "Put these four Puppet away."

The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., having received their orders, each hugged one of the plush toys on the table.

Coulson clearing the table, Coulson placed the Suitcase on the table and opened it one by one, revealing Suitcase Energy Block inside.

"All 200 Energy Block are here. Take a look."

Temari glanced at the Energy Block in front of her and knew that there was no error in the number of 200 blocks, then nodded.

"The quantity is not a problem."

"Then I'll take my leave."

Coulson, accompanied by two S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents, left the Sunagakure Puppet Shop Puppet Shop. But as he stepped outside, Coulson glanced at the shop's sign, then slapped his forehead, realizing he'd forgotten to ask the shopkeeper the true meaning of the Puppet.

He believed that the Puppet Shop run by the daughter of the Kazekage was more than just dolls. He glanced at the four Puppet in the agent's hands and thought he might be able to glean something from them.

Otherwise, you'll have to wait until your next visit to ask them.

"Get in the car!"

After saying a few words, Coulson and two Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. got into the Chevrolet SUV parked at the entrance and drove towards Triskelion.

Puppet Shop Temari looked at the Energy Block in front of her, closed the suitcase, and used Summoning Jutsu to have her Ninja Dog, Bashi, take them all back to the Summoning Realm, where they would be delivered to Lord Charlotte.

As for notifying them by phone, Temari couldn't do that. Considering S.H.I.E.L.D..'s wiretapping, if they used a phone or internet to notify them, it would definitely be intercepted. If S.H.I.E.L.D.. knew that the Sand Ninja had delivered the Energy Block to Charlotte, they would doubt their identities and the authenticity of the ninja force.

All of this was something Charlotte had specifically instructed her to do before leaving the base.

On the other side.

Gaara wandered aimlessly through the streets of Brooklyn, taking in the sights of this bustling metropolis, his large gourd slung over his back. His strange attire attracted the attention of many.

Seeing the pedestrians on the street looking at him with curiosity but no fear, and even more so with indifference, Gaara felt much better. Back in Sunagakure, the ninjas in the village always looked at him with fear, and even the villagers looked at him with fear.

After arriving in this world, neither the ninjas on Lord Charlotte's side nor the people of this world showed him the slightest Abomination or fear. He enjoyed this kind of life.

At this moment, a street performer dressed as Joker, holding a bunch of cute nitrogen balloons, walked up to Gaara and then handed him a Gaara Mouse-shaped one.

Gaara paused for a moment, looking at the strangely dressed man before him, then slowly said, "Is this for me?"

The man dressed Joker didn't speak, but instead smiled and nodded happily.

Seeing the other person's actions, Gaara understood and reached out to take the white rope that the other person handed him, glancing at the Mickey Mouse balloon floating in the air.

"Thanks!"

After slightly crouching to return the greeting, the Joker skipped past Gaara and hopped away, giving each child he encountered along the way a nitrogen balloon as a gift.

Gaara glanced back at the departing Joker, a slight smile appearing on his face. Just as he was about to turn away, several Little Black suddenly rushed out from a nearby alley, grabbed the Joker -dressed man, pulled him into the alley, and then pushed him to the ground.

The moment the Joker fell to the ground, he lost his grip on the balloons, and they all flew into the sky.

The three Little Black laughed when they saw the Joker fall.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Just then, the Joker man got up from the ground, and one of the relatively thin Little Black picked up a wooden-framed advertising sign from a nearby trash can and smashed it directly at the Joker's head.

The cardboard in the middle of the frame shattered the moment it touched the Joker's head, and the frame ended up around the Joker's neck.

The three Little Black laughed even more wildly, their eyes filled with even more mockery and cruelty as they looked at the Joker.

Upon seeing this, Gaara stopped in his tracks, his smile vanishing instantly, and a Killing Intent slowly emanated from his body. The peace doves that had been leisurely being fed in the plaza were startled and immediately took flight, fleeing the land as if their lives depended on it.

The people in the square were all stunned by this scene, wondering why all the pigeons had suddenly taken flight.

Gaara turned completely around and walked towards the alley where the Joker had been pushed, quickly appearing at the alley entrance.

Upon seeing Gaara's appearance and his attire, the three Little Black assumed he was a street performer like the Joker. At that moment, the most burly of the three, Murasaki, crossed his arms and cracked his knuckles.

"Kid, get over here right now and let us gentlemen give you a proper welcome."

At this moment, a Joker who hadn't spoken yet quickly shouted, "This has nothing to do with him, I don't know him, he's just a child."

Then he shouted at Gaara, "Run!"

Seeing that the man in front of them dared to resist and even wanted to ruin their fun, the three men's faces turned ferocious.

Gaara looked at the anxious Joker and the three Little Black figures with ferocious expressions, and said coldly, "Scum."

Then, with a wave of his hand, countless grains of sand flew out in the next second.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The sand pierced through the bodies of the three Little Black, and the kinetic energy from the sand sent them flying. The Joker man, who was surrounded by the Little Black, was unharmed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After being knocked away, the three Little Black tumbled upon landing, finally coming to a stop against the wall without making a sound.

At this moment, the man dressed Joker stared at Gaara. Finally, his gaze fell on the Headband at Gaara's waist, which seemed somewhat familiar. It appeared that the God of Ninjas, Lord Charlotte, also wore a similar Headband, though it was slightly different.

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Are you a ninja master?"

Gaara walked up to the Joker, returned the Mickey Mouse balloon to him, and then said:

"Let's leave quickly, it's not safe here."

Taking the balloon Gaara had given him, the Joker removed the wooden frame from his neck and said gratefully, "Ninja-sama, thank you for your help."

"Could you tell me your name?"

At this moment, the Joker's eyes were full of gratitude, and his voice trembled slightly, but there was no fear in his eyes.

"Sabaku - Gaara!"

After speaking, Gaara left without lingering.

Gaara looked up at the sky. The world wasn't as wonderful as he had imagined; there were still scumbags there.

······

On the other side.

At this moment, Kankuro, accompanied by his Puppet, arrived at Tony Stark's Seaside Villa in a taxi. Before the visit, Kankuro had obtained Tony's phone number from Lord Charlotte and arranged a time for the visit.

After getting out of the taxi, Kankuro arrived at Tony's Villa and rang the doorbell.

At this moment, Tony was in the underground Villa, testing his new armor. This time, Tony not only upgraded the armor's dynamism, but also prepared to create a behemoth.

Tony also realized that his Mark Series Armor was at a disadvantage when facing some huge enemies.

Just as Tony was about to test out his latest armor, Jarvis's voice rang out.

"Sir, Kankuro has come to visit and is already outside the door."

At that moment, the video from the security camera outside the door was projected in front of Tony. After glancing at Kankuro on the monitor, Tony said to Jarvis, "Jarvis, open the door and let our little ninja wait for me in the living room."

Tony addressed Pakkun, who was lying on the ground, saying, "Pakkun, why is Kankuro's ninja Headband different from yours?"

"On the contrary, his Headband is the same as that of that girl named Temari."

Pakkun stood up, stretched, shook his fur, and then said, "He's a ninja from Sunagakure, while I'm from Konoha Ninja, so we're not the same."

Are ninjas also divided into different organizations?

"Ninjas belong to different ninja villages, and the Headband by ninjas from each village are different. You will meet ninjas from many more villages in the future."

Tony put down his stylus and said, "Let's go, Pakkun, let's go meet our ninja friends."

Pakkun followed Tony up from the underground Laboratory and into the hall where they met Kankuro sitting on the sofa.

Looking at Kankuro's attire and the face paint, he asked curiously, "What's the meaning behind all this on your face?"

When Tony asked about the markings on his face, Kankuro pointed to the paint and said, "In our local custom, this paint represents Crow."

"And one of my Puppet is named Crow."

As he spoke, Kankuro patted the Puppet bound with bandages behind him, indicating that the Crow was this guy.

After hearing Kankuro's explanation, Tony understood that this was the other party's custom, so he didn't say anything more about it.

Tony sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, looked at Kankuro, and then said, "Charlotte said your Puppet skills are quite good, with many unique features."
