The Hidden Mist Village, Attacker of Konoha

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

After leaving behind the Konoha version of the Physical Enhancement Serum, Coulson turned and left.

He was going to visit the Sunagakure Puppet Shop to see if they sold similar items, and he even wanted to make a trip to the Otogakure base that Tayuya and the others were about to establish.

Nick Fury watched Coulson leave, noticing the Enhancement Serum Coulson had left behind. After a moment's thought, he made a phone call.

"Barton, come to my office."

A few minutes later, Barton pushed open the door to Nick Fury's office and walked in.

"Director, you wanted to see me?"

Looking at Agent Barton, who had fully recovered, Nick Fury nodded inwardly. He was indeed an agent whom he recognized.

"We've obtained a new and very promising Physical Enhancement Serum, comparable to the Super Soldier Serum that was once created for Steve."

Upon hearing the Director's words, Hawkeye's gaze towards Nick Fury seemed to brighten even more.

"A perfect Super Soldier Serum with no side effects?"

Nick Fury shook his head and said, "It's not Super Soldier Serum, it's Physical Enhancement Serum."

"From Konoha Ninja village behind Charlotte Doyle, a Physical Enhancement Serum that can increase human strength without any side effects, an item that can make a person as powerful as Steve Rogers once was."

Upon hearing that the item came from ninjas, Barton was initially somewhat disappointed. He had assumed that S.H.I.E.L.D.. or some military industrial enterprise had finally succeeded in replicating the Super Soldier Serum, which would greatly enhance S.H.I.E.L.D..'s capabilities. He never expected such an outcome.

However, Barton thought again that since ninjas were already so powerful, the Super Soldier Serum they developed might be even more stable and potent.

"Director, you mean..."

Nick Fury glanced at Barton and continued speaking:

"The effects and functions of the product are all based on what the other party has said. We haven't actually tested it yet, so we have no idea whether it's true or false, or whether it has any side effects."

Barton clenched his fists, and based on his knowledge of Charlotte, he said firmly, "I'll be the first to try."

But Barton also had his own plans. Given Charlotte's personality, such a thing would definitely not be cheap, and if the Captain's situation were to repeat itself, with only one booster available, missing it would mean losing everything.

Nick Fury nodded, then said, "In that case, let's try the injection now."

Nick Fury then picked up the Suitcase containing the Physical Enhancement Serum that Coulson had brought and took Barton to the Laboratory.

At that moment, Coulson drove to the Sunagakure Puppet Shop. Pushing open the door, he saw Temari inside and greeted her, "Ms. Temari."

Temari placed Kamatari, whom she was holding, aside, then looked at Coulson and said, "Looks like Agent Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D.. will be patronizing my business again."

"I need to trouble you with something, Ms. Temari."

After Temari and Coulson settled down on the sofa in the Reception Area, Temari asked with a smile, "How's it going? Have they found someone to take on the mission to capture Hidan?"

Coulson sighed, "It's a failure!"

Temari was taken aback, then asked in surprise, "Someone actually accepted this mission?"

Coulson glanced at Temari, noticing she seemed unaware of what was happening at S.H.I.E.L.D.., and said, "The ninja from Otogakure accepted the mission, but it's a bit of a shame they didn't capture the missing-nin Hidan; they let him leave."

Upon hearing Coulson's words, Temari pondered to herself that it seemed Lord Charlotte had brought the people of Otogakure to this world. Thinking of Orochimaru, whom she had met at the base, she realized that it wouldn't be long before he would also leave to lead Sound Ninja independently.

Then, with a nonchalant expression, he said, "So you're from the Otogakure. It's not easy for people from small ninja villages to successfully capture S-rank missing-nin."

What brings you here today?

Hearing that Temari was no longer discussing the topic, Coulson didn't dwell on it further, but instead said:

"I obtained a Konoha -version Physical Enhancement Serum from Charlotte Doyle. I wonder if Sunagakure sells something similar."

Hearing Coulson's words, Temari didn't seem to care at all, and then said, "Sunagakure also sells its own Physical Enhancement Serum."

Do you need to buy it?

Hearing that it was for sale, Coulson felt relieved, just as he had guessed, and asked, "How much is it?"

Coulson brought 200 Energy Block with him when he came, and he was prepared to buy them outright if they were for sale here.

"You can take 15,000 grams of Vibranium with you."

"What, fifteen kilograms?"

"S.H.I.E.L.D.. doesn't have that much Vibranium, how about using Energy Block for payment?"

Temari refused, saying, "We only accept Vibranium materials."

Upon hearing Temari's words, Coulson was momentarily speechless. Fifteen kilograms was an enormous amount, and he wasn't sure if S.H.I.E.L.D.. had that many, and even if they did, they would need to apply for permission.

"Ms. Temari, do you accept other materials for payment? Vibranium is extremely rare; we may not have that much."

"A transaction is primarily about something that is useful to both parties."

"Physical Enhancement Serum are what you need, but what's useful to us is Vibranium. As for Energy Block, they're not as valuable as you think."

Hearing Temari say this, Coulson was also helpless. It seemed that he would have to go back and report about the Physical Enhancement Serum from Sunagakure.

"In that case, I'll have to go back and apply."

"However, before that, I have some questions I'd like to ask Ms. Temari."

"Okay, it's still 50 Energy Block and 1 minute."

Coulson nodded; it was the usual price, so he had no objections. Seeing Temari turn the hourglass upside down, he immediately asked, "I've heard that there are enemies between ninja villages. I wonder who Konoha's enemies are?"

Upon hearing Coulson's question, Temari thought for a moment before replying, "Konoha has no enemies; all ninja villages are at peace."

Upon hearing this, Coulson asked, "When Itachi Uchiha was four years old, he killed an attacking ninja enemy. Who was that enemy?"

Upon hearing Coulson mention Itachi Uchiha, Temari paused for a moment before speaking, "We haven't lied to you; the ninja villages are indeed at peace now."

"Our Sunagakure and Hidden Leaf Village are allies."

"However, when you mentioned Itachi Uchiha was four years old, there were indeed some conflicts between ninja villages in that era."
