Chakra Metal

When Grant Ward opened the box, Temari saw that it contained two square metal blocks, one large and one small. The larger one was no more than ten centimeters tall, and the smaller one was only one Cosmic Cube in size.

Both metal blocks had labels on their undersides: Secondary Adamantium, Vibranium.

Looking at the two items, Temari was somewhat confused and looked at the man in front of her with a puzzled expression.

Seeing the look in Temari's eyes, Grant Ward began his introduction. "Secondary Adamantium, although not the Proto-Adamantium, is easier to manipulate and shape into the desired form. It can only be liquefied and deformed at 1500 degrees Fahrenheit."

"Once shaped, it possesses indestructible properties, being even harder than Gold-Titanium Alloy. Items made from it would be difficult for even a nuclear bomb to destroy them."

"This metal is completely unavailable on the market; you can't even find out its name."

Listening to Grant Ward's introduction, Temari became quite interested and casually searched on the computer in front of her, but found nothing. Just as Ward had said, she couldn't even find out the name.

However, Temari still had doubts about the hardness of the metal, so she asked, "May I test its hardness?"

"Please go ahead."

Temari took the Secondary Adamantium Cosmic Cube out of the box, held it in her hands, and squeezed it inward with both hands. If it were ordinary metal, it would deform or even break under Temari's full force, but the surface of this Secondary Adamantium remained completely unchanged, without even a dent.

Seeing that this was ineffective, Temari mobilized her Chakra and increased her power output, but it still had no effect whatsoever.

Seeing Temari's actions, Grant Ward's face remained unchanged, but he thought to himself, "Once this thing is in its fixed form, even missiles can't destroy it. How could you possibly crush it with your bare hands? If you had that kind of power, you'd probably transform into a humanoid nuclear bomb."

Seeing that no mark had been left, Temari stopped kneading the object and came out from behind the counter, placing it on the ground.

Temari placed the cube-shaped Secondary Adamantium on the ground and took out a Kunai from her Ninja Tool Pouch. Temari held the Kunai in her hand, a layer of wind-style Chakra covered it, enhancing Kunai destructive power.

Temari squatted on the ground, her Kunai raised high, and then she thrust it down fiercely.

"Clang!"

"Snap!"

First came a loud metallic clang as Temari shoved the piece of Secondary Adamantium into the ground. Then came a snapping sound as the Kunai in Temari's hand broke in two.

Temari wasn't discouraged that she hadn't been able to test the metal's hardness. After all, her strength was only at the level of a Chunin, and she hadn't even mastered Chakra Nature Transformation yet. But the fact that she could block her attack already demonstrated the power of this type of metal.

Seeing that she couldn't do anything to the metal, Temari took it out from under the floor and placed it back on the table.

However, when he picked it up, he secretly used his Chakra to penetrate and conduct it, and to his surprise, he found that this metal did not have a strong aversion to Chakra like other metals on this planet.

While it may not be as smooth as Chakra Metal in terms of performance and does not cause any loss of Chakra during use, it is still comparable to the metal commonly used in Ninja Tools in the Ninja World.

Temari showed no surprise whatsoever, and spoke calmly:

"It's a very hard metal, probably similar to what you described. Although I can't test its exact hardness, it shouldn't be too different from what you said."

Grant Ward nodded and said, "I am an honest person and I would not use fake things to impersonate others."

That's not a cooperative attitude, that's deception.

Grant Ward then went on to introduce the second piece of metal he had brought, Vibranium, also known as Vibranium.

"Vibranium is one of the hardest materials, second only to Adamantium in hardness, stronger than Adamantium, and possesses the ability to absorb heat, energy, and kinetic energy in terms of defense."

"Moreover, this type of metal is extremely rare. The official price is $10,000 per gram, but in reality, it's priceless and impossible to buy outside."

"Once it appears, it will be sent to various national Laboratory, and the number is extremely small, much rarer than Secondary Adamantium."

"Even Captain America, who was once very active, had his shield made primarily of this material."

After listening to the other party's introduction, Temari took it in her hand, then squeezed it hard, completely absorbing the kinetic energy in her hand and releasing it.

It seems the effect was as described. Afterwards, a secret test was conducted using Chakra. This test revealed to Temari that Vibranium's adaptability to Chakra was in no way inferior to that of Chakra Metal.

As the daughter of the Kazekage, Temari had come into contact with Chakra Metal, and a small amount of Chakra Metal was added to the Three-Star Fan, so she would not be mistaken in her perception of it.

After setting the Vibranium down, Temari said, "I've learned about the properties of these two metals. Although I haven't conducted detailed tests, they should be accurate as you described."

"Since you brought it here, you must want to make a deal with me. What do you want in return?"

Hearing Temari's straightforward words, Grant Ward felt much more relieved; it seemed that what he brought this time was the right thing to do.

Indeed, before setting off, Sitwell did not have Grant Ward bring the Energy Block to Charlotte Agency as Crossbones had done when he visited her before. This was because the S.H.I.E.L.D.. If they were to use it as a bargaining chip, it would be blatantly telling the other party that they were from S.H.I.E.L.D..

If Coulson were to learn of this situation, his identity would likely be exposed in an instant. Fortunately, the battle between Tony and Kankuro was captured in some blurry images by Hydra's satellites.

After guessing and comparing, they concluded that the metals they possessed could pique the other party's interest. Success would mean having another resource to exchange with, while failure would result in no loss.

And clearly, they have succeeded.

Grant Ward smiled and said, "I can sell you these two metals in small quantities, with a higher proportion of the Secondary Adamantium."

What can you offer in exchange?

However, Grant Ward was very cunning and didn't make a direct offer. Instead, he asked Temari to make an exchange.
