Visiting the Sunagakure Puppet Shop

The car drove along and soon arrived at the Sunagakure Puppet Shop next to the Brooklyn Bridge, carrying Yakushi Kabuto.

"We've arrived at our destination."

Hearing the reminder again, Yakushi Kabuto humbly replied, "Thank you."

Yakushi Kabuto picked up the Suitcase beside him, got out of the car, glanced at the passersby, and finally fixed his gaze on the sign of the Sunagakure Puppet Shop.

Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses with his right middle finger, then pushed open the door and entered the Puppet Shop.

The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. who brought the Yakushi Kabuto picked up a walkie-talkie and said, "The target has entered the Sunagakure Puppet Shop."

As Yakushi Kabuto pushed open the door and entered, a voice rang in his ears. "Welcome to the Sunagakure Puppet Shop."

Yakushi Kabuto looked toward the source of the sound and saw a Greeter Puppet Doll standing at the door.

After glancing at it once, Yakushi Kabuto turned his gaze away, walking towards the service counter while looking at the shop's decor.

The shop was filled with Puppet of all sizes, from tiny Puppet only 30 centimeters long to life- Humanoid Puppet, as well as some strangely shaped Puppet items.

The moment Yakushi Kabuto stepped into the Puppet Shop, he attracted the attention of two people. One was Pakura, the Jonin currently Jonin the Sand Ninja team, whose gaze fell on the Headband on Yakushi Kabuto's forehead.

In her memory, no ninja village in the Ninja World wore this Headband. On the contrary, the S.H.I.E.L.D.., the organization that sent her there, had a headband that looked like this.

Temari recognized the man in front of her at a glance. This man was the one from the Otogakure who was responsible for communicating with their former Jonin leader Baki Jonin.

If I remember correctly, this man is one of Orochimaru's men from the Otogakure. I didn't expect that he was also recruited to this world by Lord Charlotte.

As for the Headband on Yakushi Kabuto's head, Temari noticed it too, but didn't pay it any mind.

Yakushi Kabuto walked towards the service counter, carrying a Suitcase in his left hand and placing his right hand in front of his chest in a special code used only by members of the Sunagakure.

"Pretend you're a stranger; you don't know me."

"I am a ninja dispatched by Lord Charlotte."

It is true that Yakushi Kabuto once infiltrated Sunagakure and learned their special coded communication gestures.

Yakushi Kabuto Pakura's coded message was noticed by Temari, who knew he was a ninja sent by Lord Charlotte, and thus began to play along.

Yakushi Kabuto walked up to the service counter and said in a gentle voice, "Hello, I am a Missing-nin from the Land of Fire named Yakushi Kabuto. I have joined the S.H.I.E.L.D.. organization on Earth and become one of their ninjas."

As he spoke, Yakushi Kabuto even reached out and touched the S.H.I.E.L.D.. -branded Headband on his forehead.

Seeing Yakushi Kabuto's action, Pakura said in a cold voice, "So you're that Missing-nin who came to Earth."

"I wonder if the Konoha Ninja know about your betrayal of the Land of Fire and your joining S.H.I.E.L.D.."

Hearing Pakura's sharp words, Yakushi Kabuto remained unperturbed, instead smiling and speaking gently:

"I am a Rogue Ninja. Although I am a citizen of the Land of Fire, I am not a ninja of the Konoha Village. Joining any organization is my freedom, and it does not violate the rules of any ninja village."

"Furthermore, before coming here, I already visited the Konoha Village's outpost here, and Charlotte Agency has no problems."

Upon hearing Yakushi Kabuto's words, Pakura laughed and said, "Since you're Rogue Ninja, why not join my Sunagakure and become a member of my Sunagakure's base on Earth?"

Upon hearing Pakura's words, Nick Fury and Phil Coulson, inside the S.H.I.E.L.D.. office, even fell silent.

Both were waiting for Yakushi Kabuto's reply. For a Rogue Ninja, recruitment by a ninja village was very attractive, especially one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

Just like the United States, one of the P5 of the UN Security Council, recruiting an ordinary or even weak civilian from a third-world country to become a senior agent, it has a huge appeal.

The two people in the office were waiting for Yakushi Kabuto's answer. They desperately hoped Yakushi Kabuto would refuse, but they also knew that Yakushi Kabuto, who had just joined, might find it hard to resist the temptation.

However, once Yakushi Kabuto agrees, all of S.H.I.E.L.D..'s plans regarding Yakushi Kabuto will become meaningless.

However, Yakushi Kabuto shook his head and said, "Thank you for the kindness of Sunagakure, but I have already joined S.H.I.E.L.D.. and have no intention of switching sides."

"Furthermore, with Genin strength, which is barely comparable to that of a newly graduated genin from a ninja village, I'm quite curious why the Sunagakure would take a liking to me."

Clearly, from Yakushi Kabuto's words, Nick Fury and Coulson learned that, under normal circumstances, Yakushi Kabuto would not be qualified to be recruited by the ninja village.

After all, Konoha Village had never mentioned recruiting Yakushi Kabuto before.

Pakura didn't seem to care at all that her request had been rejected. Instead of answering Yakushi Kabuto's question, she said, "Since you're unwilling, then forget it."

After speaking, Pakura got up and walked out from behind the service counter, saying to Temari beside him, "You're in charge of handling this guy's matter."

After speaking, Pakura left immediately.

"Okay, Ms. Pakura."

After watching Pakura leave, Temari turned to Yakushi Kabuto and said with some regret, "You missed a tremendous opportunity, what a pity."

Yakushi Kabuto, however, felt no regret whatsoever. Without much hesitation, he retorted, "While I, Yakushi Kabuto, may not be a particularly skilled ninja, I still have my own ninja way."

"Having just joined an organization, how could I switch sides just because someone tries to recruit me?"

"Such behavior is not my ninja way."

Temari with a hint of sarcasm, "A mere Genin- level Rogue Ninja dares to talk about his own ninja way? He really doesn't know his own limitations."

Temari didn't miss any opportunity to mock Yakushi Kabuto. This guy, along with Orochimaru, had caused a lot of trouble for Sunagakure. Although they were now colleagues and comrades, Temari's gaze towards Yakushi Kabuto was still not friendly.

Although Temari was unhappy with Yakushi Kabuto, she wouldn't ruin his mission because of it. They were both Lord Charlotte, and she was just venting her frustration verbally.

Such behavior is consistent with her identity as Sand Ninja princess and a ninja from a large village, and there will be no problem with it.
