Joining

While James was retrieving Case No. 3 and hadn't returned, Coulson took out his own identification document, placed it in front of Yakushi Kabuto, and said, "This is my identification document, used to prove my identity."

"Without this document, you will not be able to check into a hotel or take any form of transportation such as airplanes or trains."

Yakushi Kabuto picked up Coulson's ID card from the table, looked at it, and said, "Identification information, huh? Looks like I need to get one too."

Coulson nodded. "S.H.I.E.L.D.. will take care of your identification documents, so you don't need to worry about them."

"No one will come and check your documents without reason, causing you any trouble."

The Yakushi Kabuto, indicating that he understood.

At that moment, James walked over with a Suitcase and placed it on the table.

Coulson opened Suitcase number three, inside which was a Kunai made of Adamantium, a Shuriken, and even a ninja Headband.

However, the symbol on the Headband is not the symbol of each ninja village, but the S.H.I.E.L.D. Eagle Emblem.

Yakushi Kabuto looked at the symbol on his Headband and sneered inwardly. It seemed that S.H.I.E.L.D.. had big ambitions and wanted to create their own ninja village, even making matching Headband.

Yakushi Kabuto took the Kunai out of the box and held it in his hand.

As the Chakra was mobilized, the Kunai, made of Aiman alloy, immediately emitted a blue Chakra glow.

With a burst of light, the Kunai, enhanced by Chakra, transformed into a short sword, Yakushi Kabuto towards the wall beside him.

"Whoosh!"

"Boom!"

A beam of light shot out, slicing through the wall beside it and causing it to collapse!

Looking at the Kunai made of Emmanufactured alloy in his hand, Yakushi Kabuto exclaimed, "This texture... it's Chakra Metal!"

Coulson asked curiously, "What is Chakra Metal?"

Yakushi Kabuto, while fiddling with the Kunai in his hand, said, "It's a metal with excellent Chakra adaptability; it's mostly used to forge Ninja Tools."

"Your Adamantium and Chakra Metal feel very similar to me."

Upon hearing Yakushi Kabuto's words, Coulson understood, but he only took out Adamantium, not Vibranium. He wondered how Vibranium compared to Chakra Metal, since Sunagakure only wanted Vibranium.

"Mr. Dou, once you join S.H.I.E.L.D.., your monthly salary will include 50 Energy Stone and 100 Adamantium."

"And this set of Ninja Tools in front of you is also a gift to you."

Yakushi Kabuto looked at the conditions offered by Coulson and shook his head, saying, "It's not enough. Besides these things, you also need to give me some money for your own use, since I also need to spend money on shopping."

"If you want me to go on missions, then you need to pay me separately for each mission."

"After all, even the ninja corps of the Hidden Ninja Village receives a reward for each mission they undertake."

Hearing Yakushi Kabuto's words, Coulson's smile widened. He wasn't afraid of you making demands; he was just afraid of you refusing outright.

"No problem, Mr. Dou."

"If we need you to perform tasks, we will give you additional task rewards based on the difficulty of the tasks."

"As for your monthly salary, you don't need to worry about that. After we assess your level, we will pay you a normal salary for your expenses according to your agent level."

Upon hearing Coulson's words, Yakushi Kabuto nodded and said, "Since you are all willing to agree to my request, then I will join you."

Coulson stood up, extended a hand, and said, "Welcome to the team, Mr. Yakushi Kabuto."

Yakushi Kabuto grasped Coulson's hand and smiled, "I hope Agent Coulson will take Dodo care of me in the future."

After shaking hands, Coulson looked at Yakushi Kabuto and said, "These things on the table are what I promised you; they all belong to you now."

Yakushi Kabuto nodded, but instead of immediately clearing the table, he sat down again.

He knew that Coulson would definitely have some questions to ask him next, especially about the Land of Fire that had just been mentioned.

Coulson looked at Yakushi Kabuto, who had sat down again, and said, "Now that you're one of us, there are some things I need to verify with you."

"What exactly is this Land of Fire you just mentioned?"

Yakushi Kabuto nodded, knowing that joining this organization meant he had to offer them some incentives.

"You've already made contact with so many ninjas, I assumed you should have this basic information."

"The Ninja World is composed of the Five Great Nations and some surrounding smaller countries, with the Land of Fire being the most powerful and the wealthiest among Five Great Nations."

"And Konoha is the only ninja village in the Land of Fire."

Upon hearing Yakushi Kabuto's words, Coulson was momentarily stunned.

Ninjas actually have their own countries, and there are many of them, including not only the Five Great Nations but also many smaller nations.

This sudden news made Coulson realize just how far off their previous guesses had been.

However, Coulson still asked with some uncertainty, "How big is the Land of Fire?"

After thinking for a moment, Yakushi Kabuto said, "I haven't measured the exact area, but it's probably over ten million square kilometers."

Coulson was speechless for a moment. Tens of millions of square kilometers—that's bigger than the United States, United States land area is only 9.37 million square kilometers.

If the Land of Fire is this big, what about the other countries?

With such a vast territory, it's impossible for it to be hidden on Earth. No wonder they haven't been able to find the ninja village.

"The Ninja World where you ninjas live is not on Earth."

Yakushi Kabuto looked at Coulson with some surprise. "You didn't know?"

"The world we live in is not on Earth."

"I accidentally wandered into the barrier, thinking there was some treasure, and then I suddenly found myself here."

Upon hearing Yakushi Kabuto's words, Coulson immediately asked, "Do you remember where you came from?"

"That place is called Chinatown, right? The moment I came out, I was teleported to the sky above the street."

"Can you go back?"

Yakushi Kabuto shook his head. "I don't know how to get back yet. I was teleported to a place in the Empty China, where there's nothing."

Upon hearing Yakushi Kabuto's words, Coulson immediately thought of Charlotte Doyle.

Could it be that he fell from the Ninja World to Earth when he was a child, and was then adopted by an assassin couple on Earth, and the Konoha ninjas came looking for him when he came of age?
