Using the video footage as a guide, Barton thoroughly introduced the background and abilities of each person.
Loki frowned slightly as he watched the video playing. He hadn't expected Earth to be as weak as he had imagined; there were still a few capable fighters there. However, this small force was no match for his Chitauri Army.
Barton quickly finished introducing these people, and just when Loki thought the journey was about to end, Barton spoke again, "Actually, these are not the obstacles to the Commander's rule over Earth. The real obstacle to the Commander is another group of people."
Hearing this, Loki became interested and asked suspiciously, "Besides what you've mentioned, are there any more powerful beings on Earth?"
Barton nodded, then quickly pulled up some information on the computer. This information belonged to none other than the ninjas led by Charlotte Doyle.
Although Barton was an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.. and was now under Loki's control with the Mind Stone, his dissatisfaction and hatred towards Charlotte Doyle had not diminished in the slightest.
Barton, the boyfriend of the Mockingbird Barbara, cares deeply for his girlfriend whom he is about to marry. However, she dies during a mission at Charlotte Agency, and only her head is sent back without her complete body.
This hatred, due to his lack of power, had been buried deep in Barton's heart. However, being controlled this time was also an opportunity for Barton to take revenge.
Barton then gave a detailed account of the strength of the ninjas led by Charlotte Doyle, and stated that there were several ninjas capable of defeating the Hulk.
Furthermore, it was stated that if a large-scale war of aggression were to occur, S.H.I.E.L.D.. would definitely involve several forces, including Charlotte Agency, Sunagakure Puppet, Sound Ninja, and Mist Ninja. These ninjas were also very interested in the Tesseract and had repeatedly offered to exchange it for a certain price.
If Loki hadn't known that Barton wouldn't lie under the Scepter's control, he would have thought he'd been tricked. He remembered that when he last came to Earth, he hadn't encountered any powerful warriors on this planet. How much time had passed, yet the changes were so drastic. And where did these ninjas come from?
Loki's expression turned grim. He had initially thought it was just an easy challenge, but it seemed to have escalated to a difficult one. However, Loki wasn't worried. Thanos was behind him, and besides the Chitauri space pirates, there were other legions and the even more powerful Black Order.
Loki looked at Barton, then asked, "Besides these, are there any other people with great power?"
Barton thought for a moment, then said, "According to our intelligence, there should be a group of Mage on Earth, but S.H.I.E.L.D.. hasn't found any useful information."
"However, a magical event did occur, but it was eventually dropped due to a lack of further clues."
"By the way, that Blazing Hero was found while searching for the Mage."
Upon hearing the word "Mage, "Loki sneered. His mother was a renowned sorcerer in the Nine Realms, and he himself had inherited her magical talent. Although he was actually an adopted son, Loki still looked down on the Mage on Earth.
"Okay, I understand, but don't worry about any of that."
Loki looked at Dr. Selvig, who was holding the Tesseract case, and asked, "Dr. Selvig, I need the Tesseract to open a huge portal so that my army can directly reach Earth. I wonder what materials you need?"
Upon hearing that Loki planned to use the Tesseract to open a massive portal, the Doctor pondered for a moment and then asked, "How large would the portal need to be?"
"The bigger the better."
Dr. Selvig pondered for three seconds before speaking, "Heating the Tesseract itself requires enormous energy. As far as I know, the only source capable of providing such a massive amount of energy is the Stark Industries building in New York, which has a huge, single-story Arc Reactor that can provide that power."
"In addition, Iridium is needed as a stabilizer, and a considerable amount is required, which we do not currently have on hand."
At this moment, Barton quickly found useful information on the computer and then spoke:
"Dr. Selvig, Germany scientist, has a certain amount of Iridium in his possession."
Base Point and said, "Then find out where he is and retrieve the Iridium at some time."
"Yes!"
······
S.H.I.E.L.D. Triskelion.
At this moment, in Nick Fury's office.
"Director, I've already informed Natasha; she'll go find Dr. Bruce Banner."
"I'll also go ask Tony Stark for help later, but Director, shouldn't we seek assistance from ninjas from Konoha, Sunagakure, Sound Ninja, Kirigakure, and other clans?"
Upon hearing Coulson's words, Nick Fury's expression turned serious, and he said, "Not only can we not contact them, but we must also ensure they know about this."
"Coulson, you know that, like the person who came out of the Teleportation Array, these ninjas are all aliens in our eyes."
"These ninjas were already very interested in the Tesseract, and for various reasons, they followed the rules and traded other things for the Energy Block, but they let the other party know that we had lost the Tesseract."
"Do you think they're helping us find the Tesseract, or joining the fight to seize Tesseract?"
Hearing the Director's words, Coulson nodded. Indeed, if the ninjas knew that S.H.I.E.L.D.. had lost the Tesseract, they would definitely join the fight for it. By then, S. H. I. E. L. D. would have gained another enemy, the S.H.I.E.L.D., before they could even get rid of the alien.
After all, the only enemy that came out of the Teleportation Array was that alien with the spear, while the ninja side had far more people. It's possible that even the group of S-rank missing-nin would join the fight for the loot. Given the terrifying coverage of the enemy's Ninjutsu during battle, the situation would likely be even more brutal.
"Director, I understand."
"Actually, I didn't even want to call Tony Stark, given his close relationship with Charlotte Doyle, but we need his power."
"Coulson, this must be kept secret."
"Yes, Director!"
Watching Coulson take his leave, Nick Fury walked towards another conference room, where he would later report to the United Nations Security Council.

On the other side.
After Charlotte finished recruiting the C-rank ninjas, she looked at the two C-rank ninjas she hadn't recruited yet. The remaining two C-rank ninjas were both female ninjas, and Shizuka Nadeshiko's strength should be slightly stronger than Kin Tsuchi's.
First, click on the portrait of Kin Tsuchi, Genin the Otogakure.
Clicking on Jin Chui's profile picture reveals his information.
C-rank Ninja: Gold Hammer, Fragments 15/10, Recruit Now?
Recruit!
Ding! Congratulations Charlotte Doyle, you have successfully recruited a one-star C-rank ninja, Gold Hammer.
The next second, a scene appeared in front of Charlotte: King Tsuchikage was standing at the Chunin Ninja Exams, wearing a Sound Ninja Headband and with long hair that reached almost to his calves.
Upon opening the ninja's details, Charlotte's first priority was to determine the ninja's skills.
Jin Chui: C-rank ninja
Star rating: One star
Basic attack: Taijutsu attack!
Substitution Technique: Substitution Log!
Skills: Senbon Rain, Bell Senbon, Genjutsu: Bell Sound Clone.
Senbon Rain: Uses Taijutsu to damage the enemy while stationary, then jumps into the air and throws out a large number of Senbon.
Bell Senbon: Throws four Senbon from the hand; the final strike, with a Senbon attached, confuses the opponent. (Note: Confused enemies will be flipped and attack their own allies.)
Genjutsu Bell Clone: Kin-Tsuchi uses Genjutsu bell sound to create a hallucination in the opponent, causing them to see multiple afterimages of Kin-Tsuchi. Then, the main body and the afterimages throw a large number of Senbon forward to kill the enemy. (This cannot stop my bell sound!)
Charlotte glanced briefly at Kimimaro's Ninjutsu and didn't pay him any mind. He was a strong Genin, but still just a Genin. It just so happened that the Otogakure had temporarily lost Kimimaro, so she could give him the ninjutsu as a small compensation.
Upon receiving the ninja, Charlotte's Chakra level increased by 1 chakra, reaching 269 Chakra. At the same time, the Ninjutsu knowledge of Golden Hammer was also instilled into Charlotte.
Charlotte then turned her attention to the last ninja, Shizuka Nadeshiko.
Although she was a C-rank ninja at the same time as Kin Tsuchi, Shizuka Nadeshiko was at least a Chunin -level ninja, and also a hot adult ninja.
Clicking on Shizuka Nadeshiko's profile picture reveals her information.
C-rank ninja: Shizuka Nadeshiko, fragments 11/10, recruit now?
Recruit!
Ding! Congratulations Charlotte Doyle, you have successfully recruited a 1-star C-rank ninja, Shizuka Nadeshiko.
The next second, a scene appeared before Charlotte: Shizuka Nadeshiko, clad in armor and wielding Ninja Blade, stood with a stunning figure in the forest. (Protect!! Ice Style Kekkei Genkai)
Looking at the beautiful face before her, with her long hair and stunning figure, Charlotte had an idea: how about arranging a new secretary for herself?
Upon opening the ninja's details, Charlotte's first priority was to determine the ninja's skills.
Shizuka Nadeshiko: C-rank ninja
Star rating: One star
Basic Attack: Nadeshiko -Taijutsu attack + Wind Style combo!
Substitution Technique: Substitution Log!
Skills: Nadeshiko-ryu: Raging Wave Fist, Nadeshiko-ryu: Step Flash, Nadeshiko-ryu: Vacuum Martial Arts Second Form.
Nadeshiko-ryu: Raging Wave Fist: Gather Chakra in the palm, charge briefly, and then launch a rapid dash attack forward. The abundant Chakra leaves its mark on the ground, exploding after a short delay to kill the enemy.
Nadeshiko Style: Step-forward Flash: Lean forward and move quickly to dodge enemy attacks.
Nadeshiko-ryu: Vacuum Martial Arts Second Form: Shizuka leaps into the air and spins rapidly, throwing a barrage of Kunai attack the enemy. (This is my destiny!)
After observing Shizuka Nadeshiko's skills, Charlotte realized that her strength should be at the level of Chunin Shizune, which is quite strong among female ninjas. Moreover, she is a ninja from a small village, so if she uses Wind Release Ninjutsu, her strength should be at the level of Special Jonin.
However, besides her strength, Shizuka Nadeshiko is also very beautiful, looking much prettier than the likes of Sakura Haruno and Karin.
Clicking to claim the ninja, Charlotte's Chakra level increased by 1 chakra, reaching 270 Chakra. At the same time, Shizuka Nadeshiko's Ninjutsu knowledge was also transferred to Charlotte.
Charlotte has now recruited all the ninjas she could. Her next task is to wait until tomorrow's meeting to fuse the cards of the ninjas that can be combined to strengthen them, and to decide which woman to send out for the next battle slot.

On the other side.
Upon receiving the order, Natasha led a large number of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and immediately flew to Bruce Dr. Banner's hideout. S.H.I.E.L.D.. had been aware of Banner's whereabouts for a long time.
After finding the location, Natasha quickly made arrangements and, after spending a small amount of money, had a little girl lure Bruce Banner into the room.
Seeing the child jump out of the window to escape, Bruce Banner couldn't help but mutter, "I should have taken the money first."
As for the traps, he wasn't worried at all, except for that woman... In his Hulk form, he feared no one.
Just then, a strange woman's voice came from behind Banner: "For someone who should be away from stress, you've certainly chosen a good place to settle down."
Bruce Banner turned around and looked at Natasha, the Black Widow, who had walked out from behind him, and said:
"Avoiding stress is not my secret."
Natasha asked, "What is that, yoga?"
Bruce Banner, while observing his surroundings, said, "You're clever to have led me to the suburbs."
"This place must be surrounded."
Natasha walked towards Bruce Banner and said, "Just you and me."
Bruce Banner said sarcastically:
Where are your child actors?
"Is she a spy too? She really got started early!"
Natasha calmly replied, "That's exactly how I was back then."
"Who are you?"
"Natasha Romanoff."
Bruce Banner lowered his head and thought for a second before looking up again and asking, "Ms. Romanoff, are you here to kill me?"
"I'm not like an ordinary person who can be easily killed."
Natasha explained, "No, of course not."
"I'm here on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D.."
Bruce Banner pronounced the name: "S.H.I.E.L.D.."
He then asked, "How did they find me?"
Natasha replied, "We've been keeping track of your whereabouts, Doctor."
"I just kept my distance, and even chased away some curious people for you."
Bruce Banner asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Nick Fury seems to trust you, but you have to come with me now."
What if I refuse?
Natasha said with a smile, "I will convince you."
Bruce Banner paused for a second before continuing, "What if... that guy refuses?"
"You haven't transformed for over a year, and I think you probably don't want to break this rule."
"You can't always get what you want just because you want it."
"Doctor, we are about to face a global catastrophe."
Bruce Banner scoffed, "Well, I've been trying to avoid that all along."
At this moment, Natasha took out her phone, displayed a picture of the Tesseract, placed the phone on the table, and said:
"This is the Tesseract; it has the power to destroy the entire Earth."
Looking at the photos on his phone, Bruce Banner took out his glasses and put them on, then picked up the phone to examine them closely.
"What does Nick Fury want me to do? Eat it?"
Natasha looked at Bruce Banner and said, "He wants you to find it; it's been stolen."
"His gamma signal was too weak for us to track."
"And you are the person who knows Gamma Rays best, so I came to you."
Bruce Banner removed his glasses and said, "So Nick Fury didn't send you to catch the monster?"
"That's not what he told me, anyway."
Will he tell you everything?
"Go talk to Nick Fury; he needs your help."
"Is he going to lock me up?"
No one will lock you up.
Bruce Banner roared angrily, "Stop lying to me!"
Natasha pulled a pistol from under the table and pointed it at Bruce Banner, while the Special Task Force outside the room immediately ran out with their guns drawn and approached the room.
Bruce Banner saw the pistol and laughed, "Sorry, I shouldn't have been so aggressive."
"I just wanted to test you."
Seeing Natasha's serious expression, Bruce Banner waved his hand and said:
"Let's talk this out properly."
"You put the gun away, and I'll make sure that guy doesn't do anything reckless."
"Is that alright, Natasha?"
Natasha glanced at Bruce Banner, then pressed the Bluetooth Headset in her ear and said, "Step back, everything is normal."
"It really is just you."
