Guesses and Analysis

At this moment, Nick Fury was also deep in thought: what exactly was the function of the Energy Block for ninjas?

Regarding the use of this thing, S.H.I.E.L.D.. knows nothing except that it can be used to create Energy Weapon. Even this is based on a method that Hydra used before. S.H.I.E.L.D.. still hasn't figured out this method. It was only with the addition of the Doctor that they have recently had some ideas.

Yakushi Kabuto felt somewhat helpless upon hearing Temari's refusal; she truly had no intention of showing any appreciation.

"It's truly a pity that Sunagakure has no intention of selling it."

Unable to obtain the desired solution from the Sunagakure, Yakushi Kabuto still used the same method he employed against Konoha, revealing his origins in the Ninja World and how he came to Earth in exchange for the right to purchase Ninja Tools from the Sunagakure.

He also informed the other party that he had informed the Konoha ninja an hour earlier.

However, Yakushi Kabuto was conveying a message to S.H.I.E.L.D..: his purpose in doing so was to diversify his resources and ensure that he didn't rely solely on Hidden Leaf Village as a conduit for his operations.

Otherwise, if Charlotte Agency has other ideas, he won't have anywhere to buy Ninja Tools on Earth.

Once Yakushi Kabuto had finalized everything and agreed on prices for Ninja Tools that were identical to those in Konoha, he was about to take his leave.

Seeing Yakushi Kabuto about to leave, Temari said, "Be careful of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Don't take them too seriously. Not long ago, they were planning to send our Sunagakure ninjas to the Land of Fire to investigate your background and information."

"If you feel that place isn't suitable for you, you can come find me at the Sunagakure Puppet Shop."

However, even as she was leaving, Temari still couldn't resist giving S.H.I.E.L.D.. some sarcastic remarks, even though these were all pre-arranged strategies discussed in code between the two of them.

Hearing Temari's words, Kabuto Yakushi, who was carrying Yakushi Kabuto suitcase and preparing to leave, paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Thank you for reminding me, but I won't leave until the other party does something to wrong Yakushi Kabuto."

These words were transmitted to Nick Fury and Coulson via a listening device inside the Suitcase.

But it also tells the two that if S.H.I.E.L.D.. really has any dangerous intentions towards me, I'll be ready to run away.

With his remaining ten Energy Block, Yakushi Kabuto left the Sunagakure Puppet Shop, got into a car, and headed towards Staten Island, the headquarters of Otogakure. This was a suburb of New York, not within the main urban area.

As Yakushi Kabuto headed towards his last destination of the day, neither Nick Fury nor Coulson inside S.H.I.E.L.D.. responded to Yakushi Kabuto parting words.

A few seconds later, Coulson broke the silence in the office. "Director, why do you think Sunagakure would go to such lengths to recruit a weak, Rogue Ninja?"

"To go so far as to sow discord between Yakushi Kabuto and our S.H.I.E.L.D.. is not in line with the behavior of a major ninja village; it's very unreasonable."

"If they're short-handed, given the size of Sunagakure in the Land of Wind, they could just send people over directly."

"Or perhaps Yakushi Kabuto possesses a secret that even the great ninja villages need. But if he does have such a secret, given his strength, they could simply capture Yakushi Kabuto and be done with it."

"After all, given Yakushi Kabuto's strength, he poses absolutely no risk to those people at the Sunagakure Puppet Shop."

"However, in previous communications, Temari of the Sunagakure had no idea that Yakushi Kabuto was a Rogue Ninja, which is very unreasonable."

Upon hearing Coulson's analysis, Nick Fury closed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds before opening them and saying, "Perhaps coming to Earth from the Ninja World comes at a high cost."

"It's not as easy as we imagined to send people here, especially since both of their ninja villages are clearly very interested in the place where Yakushi Kabuto triggered the Teleportation Array."

"If sending someone here is too costly, and we find that there's an extra Rogue Ninja on Earth, and considering that Sunagakure only has four ninjas at the moment, it's still necessary to recruit this Genin's come to our door for free."

"Perhaps in the Ninja World, Yakushi Kabuto is a weak Rogue Ninja and not worth recruiting, but on Earth, he is quite powerful. Having one more person can mean getting a lot more done."

Hearing his Director's words, Coulson agreed, saying, "Director, your analysis makes a lot of sense; there might really be such a possibility."

"Furthermore, the cost of recruiting Yakushi Kabuto is about the same as the cost of recruiting him, which is not a big deal for Sunagakure."

At this moment, Nick Fury spoke up again, "Every place Yakushi Kabuto went to yield benefits for us. If the cost of a ninja invasion is too high, then they cannot possibly enter Earth on a large scale."

"This is somewhat similar to their current situation; besides Konoha, there aren't many people from Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja who have come."

"This reduces their threat somewhat. Besides that, what about the Puppet Master unique to Sunagakure?"

"Could it be another profession different from that of a ninja?"

Upon hearing the Director's question, Coulson thought for a moment about the voice that had come through the Bug before replying, "Judging from the voice, if I'm not mistaken, the speaker is Temari's younger brother, Kankuro."

"Puppet Master is someone who controls Puppet, and the fact that Sunagakure's shops are called Puppet Shop is probably closely related to this."

"However, the Puppet we obtained from Sunagakure did not reveal any offensive capabilities."

"Besides themselves, the only person who can be certain of Kankuro's actual situation is Tony Stark."

"But when Tony is with Kankuro, he blocks all surveillance cameras, even the satellites overhead. This means that although we detected multiple Chakra warning fluctuations near his Villa, we still couldn't obtain any specific information."

"Director, Tony Stark is an advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D.., and I think you should be able to get some intelligence from him. He's not friendly to us agents."

Upon hearing Coulson's words, Nick Fury nodded. Indeed, they had discovered that Kankuro, a Sunagakure, frequently appeared at Tony's Villa, and Tony would even occasionally visit the Sunagakure Puppet Shop.

"I'll talk to Tony. I believe he'll be very interested when he learns that S.H.I.E.L.D.. has its own ninja."

Upon hearing that Director Nick Fury was prepared to personally take charge, Coulson could only sigh and hope for success.
