The End and Analysis

Barton gripped his sword with both hands, stared at Yakushi Kabuto emerging from the smoke, and charged straight at him.

He unleashed his fastest speed, like a gust of wind, and appeared in front of his opponent in the blink of an eye, covering a distance of several dozen meters.

Barton ran up to Yakushi Kabuto and swung his Tanto at Yakushi Kabuto.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Barton swung his Tanto with all his might, each swing carrying the force of eight tons.

Yakushi Kabuto, wielding Kunai made of Adamantium, managed to parry every single one of Barton's attacks.

What amazed others about Barton's speed was nothing to Yakushi Kabuto.

Each time the Kunai and the Tanto clashed, they produced a lot of sparks.

To the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the battle between the two appeared incredibly intense.

The two exchanged blows for over thirty moves, the entire arena filled with the sounds of their weapons clashing.

Yakushi Kabuto now felt that he had demonstrated enough strength. Although he hadn't used any Ninjutsu, it was mostly Taijutsu. It seemed he could finally show off a little.

Suddenly, Yakushi Kabuto sped up, his Kunai into a short sword that slashed at Barton's Tanto. The immense force forced Barton to crouch down, and the wooden floor beneath his feet shattered instantly.

Barton, holding knives in both hands, roared, "Rise!"

He then exerted force with both arms and swung them upwards, while Yakushi Kabuto used the rebound force to perform a backflip and widen the distance between them.

"Wind Style: Sky-Slicing Wave!"

As Yakushi Kabuto performed his backflip, he formed hand Hand Seals in mid-air and, upon landing, unleashed a trumpet-shaped burst of air pressure at Barton.

The sudden increase in air pressure blew Barton into the air, leaving wounds all over his body from the wind blades.

Barton, suspended in mid-air, was completely unable to control his body. He possessed immense strength but could not use it, and was once again sent flying by the Sky-Slicing Wave.

However, after using the Slash Wave, Yakushi Kabuto charged towards Barton with Kunai.

The moment Barton landed, Yakushi Kabuto appeared in front of him, Kunai pressed against Barton's neck.

You lost!

Hearing Yakushi Kabuto's words, Barton looked somewhat helpless, but still managed to say, "I lost!"

"Your test is over!"

At this moment, the factory gate was opened, and several medical staff, as well as the people who led Yakushi Kabuto to conduct combat power tests, rushed over.

Medical staff rushed over to Barton's side, and Barton's injuries were already beginning to heal slowly, albeit slowly, but noticeable to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Yakushi Kabuto glanced at Barton's wound and thought to himself, "His strength isn't that great, but his self-healing ability is quite good."

Barton looked at the medical staff who came to examine him and said, "My injury isn't serious, I just need some rest."

"Agent Barton, this isn't something you can decide."

"We need to conduct a full examination on you and make sure you recover without any problems."

Then a doctor in a white coat looked at Yakushi Kabuto and asked, "You were also attacked by the explosion earlier. Are you injured?"

Yakushi Kabuto didn't look injured at all. Apart from being covered in dust, his clothes weren't even torn, and he seemed perfectly fine.

"I am not injured."

Seeing that Yakushi Kabuto said he wasn't injured, he didn't say anything more, but simply put Barton on the stretcher, picked it up, and left.

Yakushi Kabuto, who witnessed this scene, did not intervene. He had no intention of revealing his Medical Ninjutsu skills at this moment to treat Barton.

It's normal for a Rogue Ninja to know one elemental Ninjutsu, but to also know advanced Medical Ninjutsu is a much bigger problem.

Yakushi Kabuto looked at the agent who had brought him for the test and asked, "Is the combat strength test over?"

The other party nodded. "It's basically over, but you still need to do some basic tests with me, such as strength, speed, and explosiveness tests."

"However, this one is simpler; it doesn't require any human opponents, it can be played on a machine."

"Come with me!"

After saying that, he left the testing facility, and Yakushi Kabuto followed him out.

······

In the Monitoring Room.

Nick Fury began, "This sparring match is over. Now, what are your thoughts?"

"Not only about the Rogue Ninja Yakushi Kabuto, but also about your opinion of Barton."

Upon hearing the Director's instructions, both men hesitated for a moment before Hit spoke first:

"Let me first talk about this ninja, Yakushi Kabuto. According to the intelligence we have, this Rogue Ninja has not shown much strength."

"Based on the videos of ninja battles we've seen at airports, whether it's Charlotte Doyle defeating the Abomination, Senju Teuchi the Hulk, or the battle between the Sound Ninja and the missing-nin Hidan..."

"This Yakushi Kabuto's performance was rather disappointing; there was nothing about him that impressed me."

"However, the last Ninjutsu he used was probably a wind-type Ninjutsu."

"Aside from that ability, there wasn't much that impressed me."

"Of course, this only applies to the powerful ninjas we already know of. For our special agents, such strength is still extremely formidable."

"Whether it's speed, strength, or resilience, they are far superior to our agents, even surpassing the enhanced Barton."

"But that's all. If we're dealing with a ninja of that strength, we should have many other methods."

"The only thing we don't know is what rank a ninja of this strength would be among ninjas."

"After all, we know that ninjas are divided into Genin, Chunin, Special Jonin, Elite Jonin, and Kage Level."

"As for Barton, I think this sparring match was unfair to him. The arena limited his performance; otherwise, given Barton's strength and the equipment he was given, the power he unleashed would certainly have been much greater."

Hearing Hit's analysis, Nick Fury agreed, but compared to the previous ninja battles and the strength they displayed, Yakushi Kabuto's strength was indeed much weaker.

But if every random Missing-nin possessed the strength of an S-rank missing-nin, then with such a terrifying Ninja World, what hope would Earth have?

Yakushi Kabuto's demonstrated strength reassured Nick Fury considerably.
