Making Plans

"It seems S.H.I.E.L.D.. can't issue this mission request. I'll have to try my luck at the Sunagakure Puppet Shop."

Upon hearing Coulson mention Sunagakure, Charlotte smiled and said, "S-rank missing-nin are quite powerful; Sunagakure might not accept this mission."

Coulson said helplessly, "We have to try. After all, we can't let such a threat exist."

Then Coulson changed the subject, saying, "Shouldn't you be the ones to deal with the missing-nin who came from your own ninja faction?"

Charlotte didn't answer the question directly, but instead retorted sarcastically, "Should United States police also go and arrest Russia criminals?"

"Mr. Charlotte, I understand."

"Although we couldn't cooperate this time, I hope there will be another opportunity next time."

Hearing Charlotte's answer, Coulson understood. Whichever ninja village had missing-nin should deal with it; other ninja villages wouldn't intervene without reason.

Considering even the history of S.H.I.E.L.D.., where war criminals from other countries were sometimes taken in and sheltered by them, Coulson, having figured all this out, saw that he couldn't complete the commission here, so he turned and left. He still had to try his luck at the Sunagakure Puppet Shop.

Watching Coulson leave, Charlotte entered the Summoning Realm and met the Sound Five.

"Lord Charlotte!"

Charlotte nodded, then said, "I have a task for you."

"I'll give you an address later, called the Sunagakure Puppet Shop. When you get there, wait for a man named Coulson."

"Once he's out, you tell him you can help them with a capture mission, but you have to pay him regardless of whether it's successful or not."

"As for the reward for the mission, you can name your price..."

Upon hearing Charlotte's instructions, Kimimaro asked, "Is that rogue missing-nin named Hidan also one of our own?"

"Yes, you can have a friendly match and test your skills."

"Tayuya, Jirobo, Sakon and Ukon, Kidomaru, are the four of you still able to use the Four Violet Flames Formation?"

"No problem, Lord Charlotte, the four of us can use it."

However, when Charlotte obtained the Sound Four, she discovered in the title reward section that in addition to the reward for having a battle slot, there was an additional Ninjutsu reward: the Four Violet Flames Formation.

"Alright, then you should set off as soon as possible. Here's a picture of Coulson."

Charlotte gave Tayuya a picture of Coulson to make sure they didn't mistake him for someone else.

Just then, the Sound Five were about to leave the Summoning Realm when Kimimaro asked with a resolute expression, "Lord Charlotte, Lord Orochimaru also come to this world?"

Upon hearing Kimimaro's words, the Sound Four also stopped in their tracks and looked at Charlotte.

Although their primary allegiance is now to Charlotte Doyle, their deep-seated admiration for Orochimaru has not diminished in the slightest.

"Orochimaru has come along too. You will meet him when the time is right."

"Thank you, Lord Charlotte!"

After expressing his gratitude, Kimimaro led the Sound Four away from the Summoning Realm.

After Charlotte made arrangements for Kimimaro and the others, she summoned the Ninja Dog Bull and had it use the Reverse Summoning Technique to summon Hidan.

At this time, Hidan had already left the Red Sea and was wandering around when he suddenly felt white mist rising around him. Knowing it was the Reverse Summoning Jutsu, he didn't refuse and disappeared directly, eventually arriving in the Summoning Realm.

Hidan, carrying the Triple-Bladed Scythe, greeted her, "Lord Charlotte!"

Seeing that Hidan's aura had stabilized at the Kage Level, Charlotte nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems you've had a good time lately!"

"Thank you, Lord Charlotte, for bringing me into this world, allowing me to spread the glory of the Jashin Jashin and fulfill his guidance."

Seeing that Hidan was still unaware that he was now a growing and transforming Jashin, he casually said:

"You were attacked by the enemy some time ago."

"It's only polite to reciprocate; you need to come and teach them a lesson too."

Upon hearing Lord Charlotte's order, Hidan's lips curled into a sinister smile, "Lord Charlotte, do you know where their base is?"

"The organization that attacked you is S.H.I.E.L.D.. in New York, and their headquarters are located in the Triskelion!"

"Your mission is to come here and cause a ruckus, to retaliate for the attack you suffered."

"However, ninjas from the Otogakure will come to stop you. You just need to do this, and that will do it..."

"Understood, Lord Charlotte. I'll be heading to New York now."

After explaining things to Hidan, Charlotte returned from the Summoning Realm to the base's Reception Room.

But as soon as he returned, he saw Ginny standing to the side.

"No wonder I haven't seen you since Coulson left. Boss, did you go to the Magic World?"

Seeing Charlotte Doyle suddenly appear, Ginny asked.

"No, I just arranged some other things."

"Ginny, how much liquid capital do we have?"

Ginny thought for a moment, then said, "After deducting all expenses, we still have 3 billion in liquid funds. Boss, what are your plans?"

"Ginny, prepare to transfer $1.5 billion to Tony. He knows what's going on."

"Also, the revenue from the High Table and the recovery room at the Continental Hotel should be collected on time."

"Understood, Boss!"

Charlotte, however, planned to pay for the Arc Reactor for Tony first, and then prepare more rechargeable items for use when suppressing the rebellion.

On the other side.

After leaving Charlotte's base, Coulson drove to the Sunagakure Puppet Shop in Brooklyn.

Upon entering the Puppet Shop, Coulson went directly to Temari and solemnly said, "Ms. Temari, I have a mission request that I need your help and that of the Sunagakure behind you."

Looking at Coulson in front of her, Temari smiled, for she had already received Lord Charlotte's message.

"Come on, let's go over there to talk."

"Kankuro, stop fiddling with your Puppet. I'm leaving this counter to you."

Kankuro's voice came from the stairs next to the service desk. "Okay, sister. I'm studying this Vibranium material for a bit, I'll be right down."

Upon hearing the word "Vibranium," Coulson felt a sudden sense of certainty. His mind raced, wondering if this material might have some special use for the ninja forces.

Following Temari to the Sofa Area, Coulson repeated what he had said to Charlotte.

"Regarding Hidan, after your previous contact, I checked with my family."

"This is an S-rank missing-nin. If we want to capture him, we'll need at least one or even two Kage Level ninjas."

"You might not be able to afford this price."

Upon hearing that Temari had changed her previous disdain for the small ninja village and that Hidan had been confirmed as an S-rank missing-nin, Coulson's eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling.
