Inca Temple.
At this time, the area around the Temple had been sealed off by S.H.I.E.L.D.., with a large number of S.H.I.E.L.D.. field agents stationed there to ensure the safety of the scene.
Inside the Temple Barton, carrying Bow and Arrow, looked at Sitwell, who was directing the researchers conducting on-site studies, and stepped forward to ask:
Have you found any clues?
Sitwell shook his head. "Coulson's intelligence only confirms that the other party appeared here for the first time. The specific reason and how to trigger the Teleportation Array still need to be studied by us."
Barton nodded, then began to observe everything inside the Temple.
······
New York.
It was already evening.
Outside the Sound Ninja Base, a Chevrolet SUV bearing the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo was parked at the entrance. Inside, Rumlow said to Steve, "Captain, proceed with Plan A. If they're willing to hand over the hostage, all is well, and we won't hold Dosu Kinugami responsible for the murders."
"If the other side refuses to hand over the person, Captain, you must not take action. We will retreat and execute another plan."
Steve nodded. "Understood, I won't act impulsively."
Seeing that the Captain had agreed, Rumlow and Duby both breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the Captain didn't make a move from the enemy's stronghold.
Steve Rogers, along with Brock Rumlow and Handel Duby, got out of the car.
Looking at the door in front of him, Steve Rogers pressed the doorbell.
Sitting in the Monitoring Room, Kim Hammer saw the doorbell ring and saw the three people appear at the monitor position by the door, knowing that S.H.I.E.L.D.. had come to see him.
Switching to the Mike at the main entrance, Kim Hammer asked, "What do you want?"
Hearing the voice coming from the speaker below the doorbell, Steve Rogers said, "This is Steve Rogers from S.H.I.E.L.D.. I have some business to discuss with Ms. Tayuya of the Otogakure."
Upon hearing that it was a visit to Tayuya, Kin Tsuchiya replied, "Wait a moment."
Kim Tsuchiya then dialed Tayuya and reported, "Tayuya, Steve Rogers from S.H.I.E.L.D.. is here to visit."
"Bring them in."
"Yes, sir."
As soon as the call ended, Kim Hammer notified Zaku Orange to bring the person in.
Soon, Zaku Orange appeared at the base entrance, opened the door, and said to Steve Rogers and the other two, "Come in with me, Tayuya is waiting for you in the living room."
Steve and Rumlow exchanged a glance, then followed Zaku Orange inside.
Upon arriving at the Sound Ninja Base for the first time, Steve observed his surroundings. The area was quite large, but he didn't see any other ninjas around the open lawn.
Although it was his first time here, Steve Rogers had already seen the original map of the Base Point before accepting the mission.
The Sound Ninja's base was, after all, sold to them by S.H.I.E.L.D.., and although it underwent significant changes, some of the basic elements remained.
After walking across the lawn and into the inner castle, Steve Rogers saw Tayuya sitting on the sofa. Besides Tayuya, Jirobo was also present.
Zaku Orange led the three of them to Tayuya and respectfully said, "Tayuya, the guests have been brought."
"Go down."
"Yes!"
Watching Zaku Orange leave, Steve Rogers spoke up, "Tayuya, I'm Steve Rogers from S.H.I.E.L.D.."
Tayuya looked at the three of them and said with a smile, "The Feudal Lord Captain America, I've heard of him."
"Sit."
The three sat down on the sofa, Steve Rogers began, "Tayuya, there's something I need to discuss with the Sound Ninja."
"Your Otogakure's Dosu Kinu abducted a man named Michael Peter at California Union Station. This act is illegal."
"We need you to hand over Michael Peter; after all, imprisoning someone is illegal."
Handel Duby, who was standing nearby, took out a tablet and played a video of Dosu Anvil taking people away at the station.
Steve took the tablet and placed the video in front of Tayuya.
Tayuya glancing at the tablet Steve was blocking her way.
Instead, he sneered, "Heh."
"You've come to the wrong place asking us for people."
"If this is what you came for, you can leave now."
Steve looked at Tayuya a serious expression and said, "Tayuya, your Sound Ninja's Dosu Kinugami not only took Michael away at the scene, but also killed a police officer."
"Are you really not going to hand Michael over?"
Tayuya didn't seem to care at all when Steve spoke again.
Michael is the target the adults want; how could they possibly hand him over to someone else?
Besides, given his strength, what difference would it make if he didn't hand him over? The locals treat him like a god, the son of God, but in the eyes of the Sound Ninja, he's just a piece of trash with average strength.
"We don't have the person you're looking for here. As for Dosu Anvil killing someone, if you're so capable, try taking that person away."
As they spoke, Jirobo and Tayuya simultaneously released their Chakra, and a terrifying aura emanated from them.
Steve and his companions felt immense pressure, but even under that pressure, Steve managed to ask, "Is he still alive?"
His son is waiting for him to take care of him.
Tayuya looked at Steve, who was still able to speak despite her imposing aura, and withdrew her burst of Chakra, saying calmly, "Go back. The person you're looking for isn't here."
"If there is no mission assigned, please excuse me for not being able to entertain you."
Upon hearing the other party's words about kicking him out, Steve was about to say something when Rumlow him aside.
When Steve realized that negotiations wouldn't get Michael back, he had no choice but to resort to violence.
"Since the Sound Ninja are unwilling to hand over the person, then I hope you won't regret it."
"Let's go!"
Steve stood up and led the two away from the Sound Ninja's base.
Back in the car, Rumlow said, "Steve, don't act rashly."
"Since they are unwilling to hand over the person, let's execute Plan B and report this to the bureau."
Steve said angrily, "We should just charge in. I'm not afraid of them."
Hendel Duby, standing nearby, said, "The three of us are no match for them. Infiltrating in wouldn't end well, and we can't be sure if Michael is even in their base."
"However, based on the investigation, there is no evidence that Dosu Anvil led people in through the main entrance."
"Report, proceed with Plan B."
Steve nodded. "Report."
Rumlow took out his phone and dialed. "Director, the other side refuses to hand over the person and says that if we have the ability, we can arrest and take Dosu Anguilla directly."
Upon hearing Rumlow's report, Nick Fury said coldly, "Come back and execute Plan B."
"Yes, sir!"
The car then started and left the Sound Ninja base.
Inside the base, Kim Hammer reported, "Sir, their vehicle has already left."
Jirobo then spoke up, "Tayuya, do you think they might have other ideas?"
Tayuya replied dismissively, "As for their strength, it's not that I look down on them."
"If they can't muster the Avengers, the few of us can just storm their headquarters."
Don't worry about them.
