Intelligence That Cannot Be Known

S.H.I.E.L.D. Triskelion.

No sooner had Coulson left with the Energy Block than Hawkeye arrived on Bus.

Back at S.H.I.E.L.D.., Barton, armed with the mission report he'd written on the plane, rushed to Nick Fury's office immediately.

Nick Fury was somewhat surprised to see Barton knock on the door and enter.

"The investigation results are in?"

Barton's face darkened, and his voice was low as he said, "Director, the investigation is in, and the situation is not optimistic."

"This matter involves ninjas; this is the mission report."

Looking at the mission report Barton had placed on the table, Nick Fury frowned slightly. It was related to ninjas again. Why were all the recent events involving ninjas? Charlotte and the others were indeed not a stable factor.

Nick Fury opened the file folder and asked, "Are these Charlotte Doyle's ninjas again?"

However, Barton shook his head. "It shouldn't be. The insignia on his Headband is different from those of Hidden Leaf Village and Sunagakure."

"A newly emerged ninja village?"

Nick Fury was indeed quite interested, and he opened Barton's mission report and began to carefully examine it line by line.

The more Nick Fury looked, the uglier his expression became, until finally he slammed his fist on the table.

"Bang!"

Nick Fury was quite strong; his fist slammed onto the table with a loud thud, and he then began to curse angrily:

"These ninjas are absolutely outrageous!"

However, the mission report focused on the personnel losses of Barton's mission. Another 22 S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents were killed, and the reason was that there were 3 black people in the team, and the bodies of these 3 black agents were not brought back.

The cause of all this was a strange ninja, Hidan.

The mission report included photos of Hidan and Headband on the enemy's neck, all taken by cameras on the convoy.

The mission report also emphasized that the person responsible for the evil sacrifices and Carnage of black people in Africa was this unfamiliar ninja, Hidan.

Barton nodded in agreement with the Director's anger, saying, "They have no regard for conventional law and are a destabilizing force."

"Whether it's the newly emerged ninja Hidan or Charlotte Doyle, they both harbor immense malice towards people of African descent, not just those with black skin."

"Back in the assassin world, Charlotte Doyle was known as the N-word Killer."

"This unfamiliar ninja who came out didn't discriminate based on bloodline; anyone with dark skin was his target."

"I have said before that those three team members were not Africa, yet they were still ruthlessly murdered."

But Barton was now trying to sow discord between Nick Fury and his Director, who was also a Black man.

Because of Charlotte, this guy known as the N-word Killer, Nick Fury never even met Charlotte, fearing that she would kill him on the first meeting. Even though Charlotte's targets were mostly Black people, as long as Black people didn't provoke him, he wouldn't take action without reason.

But now an even more despicable being has emerged, practically committing Carnage. Anyone with dark skin like those from Africa, if Hidan touches them, will be slaughtered as an evil sacrifice.

Nick Fury looked at Barton, his anger completely hidden, replaced by utter calm, and pointed to the close-up photo of the Headband, asking:

Do you know what this horizontal scratch on your Headband means?

"Are they scars left from battle?"

Barton recalled Hidan's words to him as he left, "If you encounter a ninja with a scratch on their Headband, run as far away as you can."

"Sir, I don't know what this means, but based on what they said when they left..."

"This scratch is unlikely to be a mark left after a battle; rather, it's probably some kind of special marking."

"After all, if a Headband is damaged, you can just replace it, unless the scratch has special significance."

Upon hearing Barton's words, Nick Fury nodded; this analysis made a lot of sense.

"Give me an electronic copy of the document. Coulson is currently consulting with the Charlotte Agency."

"Send this information to him and ask him to inquire about this ninja's situation and Hidan's identity."

"Yes, Director!"

······

Meanwhile, in the Reception Room of Charlotte Agency.

Hearing the Director's voice in the earpiece, Coulson looked at Catherine apologetically and said, "Sorry, I have an emergency here and need to be delayed."

Catherine smiled professionally and said, "Please go ahead!"

Coulson took his tablet out of his briefcase, logged into his S.H.I.E.L.D.. account, and opened the email.

The email contained only a few pictures: the Africa village that had been sacrificed, the symbols used in the sacrifice, and several close-up photos of Hidan, including a full-body shot and a specially enlarged image of the Headband around his neck.

The report briefly recounts what happened in Africa and the experiences of Barton and others.

Seeing that another 22 S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents had been killed, Coulson's face showed a look of sadness. In just a few days, 50 S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents had been killed, which was an enormous number.

S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents are the elite of the elite, especially those capable of field missions, who are among the best in every special forces unit. It is no wonder that such elite personnel have suffered so many casualties in such a short period of time. How could Coulson not be saddened?

As for the task Nick Fury assigned to him, that can also be found at the end of the document.

Coulson pulled up the images related to Hidan from the file and saved them separately.

Coulson opened the saved images in the photo album and handed the tablet to the user.

"Ms. Catherine, I have a few more pieces of information to consult."

Catherine took the tablet from Coulson and looked at the pictures on it. Although she didn't recognize the man in the pictures, she saw the Headband around his neck and knew he was a ninja.

However, Catherine didn't give Coulson a chance to speak, and went straight to the point:

"I don't know anything about ninjas."

"Currently, there are no ninjas permanently stationed at the Agency."

"If you want to inquire about information related to ninjas, you can sign a mission Commission Form first. I will report it to Lord Charlotte and then give you an answer."

Upon hearing Catherine's words, Coulson's mind raced. He knew about Werewolf, but not about ninjas. Could this Ms. Catherine be a Werewolf?
