Chapter Summaries

Coulson sought information about a murderous Ninja, but Catherine could not identify him, so he went to the Sunagakure Puppet Shop to consult Temari. Temari identified the Ninja as a Missing-nin from Yugakure, while Ginny learned S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had attacked Moses’s group and decided not to let S.H.I.E.L.D. off easily.

• Coulson asked Catherine about a Ninja massacring people in Africa, paid 150 Energy Blocks for intelligence, and left for the Sunagakure Puppet Shop when she could not identify him.
• Catherine told Ginny that S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had attacked Moses’s group while protecting Jane, and Ginny resolved to demand an explanation despite learning the attack had been a misunderstanding.
• Coulson showed Temari photos of Hidan and asked about his village, abilities, and actions.
• Temari identified Hidan as a Ninja from Yugakure and explained that the crossed mark on his Headband meant he was a Missing-nin who had betrayed his village.

Coulson learned from Temari that Hidan was a missing-nin from the small village of Yugakure and was unlikely to receive its protection. After Coulson reported to Nick Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D. considered capturing Hidan to investigate Chakra.

• Temari told Coulson that missing-nin were hunted by their villages and that Yugakure might take a long time to pursue Hidan.
• Coulson bought two puppet dolls, left the shop, and returned to the Triskelion with his intelligence.
• Coulson told Nick Fury and Hawkeye Barton about the Werewolves and suspected Catherine was one of them.
• Nick Fury ordered an investigation into the Werewolves and planned for Coulson to visit Charlotte's base about Jane.
• Coulson explained that S.H.I.E.L.D. could capture Hidan itself to study Ninja and Chakra, and Nick Fury considered the opportunity.

Nick Fury ordered a large-scale operation to capture Hidan and sent Coulson to assess Charlotte Doyle’s attitude toward the Missing-nin. Coulson visited Charlotte Base with a gift of Energy Blocks and waited in the reception area.

• After hearing Barton and Coulson assess Hidan’s strength, Nick Fury ordered a capture plan backed by more than three hundred people and heavy weapons.
• Nick Fury sent Barton to confirm Hidan’s whereabouts and directed Coulson to visit Charlotte Doyle to check on Jane’s safety and gauge his attitude toward Hidan.
• The next day, Coulson arrived at Charlotte Base, where Ginny reviewed the surveillance footage and ordered the guards to let him in.
• The guards made Coulson surrender his weapons and checked his belongings, but Ginny allowed his case of Energy Blocks through without inspection.
• A server escorted Coulson into the base’s reception area, where he ordered coffee and waited.

Coulson visited the Charlotte Agency, gave Ginny a gift, and sought assurances that the agency and Konoha would not interfere with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hunt for Hidan. He then handed Jane Foster's protection over to the agency, leaving Ginny visibly displeased.

• Coulson gave Ginny a suitcase containing one hundred Energy Blocks as a gift for Charlotte Doyle and asked to meet him, but Ginny said Charlotte was away.
• Coulson asked whether Charlotte had returned to Konoha Village, but Ginny did not reveal anything about Charlotte's whereabouts.
• Coulson showed Ginny a photograph of Hidan and said S.H.I.E.L.D. planned to arrest the Missing-nin for mass killings and the deaths of twenty-two agents.
• Itachi Uchiha identified Hidan as a Missing-nin from Yugakure and said Konoha would not interfere unless Hidan had harmed Konoha; Ginny also said the Charlotte Agency would not obstruct S.H.I.E.L.D.
• Coulson told Ginny that S.H.I.E.L.D. would stop protecting Jane Foster and leave her safety to the Charlotte Agency, prompting Ginny to lose her smile and glare at him.

Ginny confronted Coulson over S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attack on her security personnel and negotiated compensation before he left. She then arranged to warn Hidan that S.H.I.E.L.D. planned to capture him and sent Energy Blocks to Charlotte for testing.

• Ginny demanded an explanation from Coulson for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attack, while Itachi Uchiha used his Killing Intent to frighten him.
• Coulson called the attack a misunderstanding, and Ginny demanded compensation for her four security personnel.
• Coulson agreed to pay two hundred Energy Blocks after Ginny rejected his offer of one hundred and asked him to hand over the commander instead.
• Ginny told Itachi Uchiha to warn Hidan about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s capture attempt, and Itachi said Hidan was a Kage-level powerhouse.
• Ginny gave Itachi Uchiha a box of Energy Blocks to take to Charlotte and see whether they could help transform his bloodline.

Ginny rewarded Moses and prepared to check on Orochimaru's Enhancement Serum, while S.H.I.E.L.D. mobilized to capture Hidan and Itachi warned him of the coming operation. Pierce's Hydra team then brought metals to the Sunagakure Puppet Shop to trade for an enhancement agent and commission a mission.

• Ginny told Moses that Jane's attackers had been dealt with, gave his team enhancement rewards, and went to Orochimaru's laboratory to check the serum's progress.
• Coulson reported to Nick Fury that Charlotte's forces would not interfere with capturing Hidan, and S.H.I.E.L.D. began mobilizing agents.
• Itachi had Bull summon Hidan to the Summoning Realm, warned him that S.H.I.E.L.D. planned to capture him, and took the Blood Cores Hidan had collected for Charlotte.
• Pierce gathered 312 million dollars' worth of metals and sent a Hydra team with an awakened Winter Soldier to trade at the Sunagakure Puppet Shop.
• Temari showed Pierce's representative a bloodline enhancement agent as the team prepared to commission a mission.

Temari accepted a commission to capture a werewolf in London, while Hydra tested the Body Enhancement Serum on Ward and saw his abilities greatly improve without apparent side effects. Meanwhile, armed forces prepared to attack Hidan as he approached a village in Africa.

• Temari accepted a mission from the Hydra squad to bring back a werewolf, with a higher payment offered for a live capture.
• Pierce ordered Ward to receive the Body Enhancement Serum and undergo testing after the injection.
• Ward awoke strengthened, broke his restraints, and completed examinations showing increased strength, speed, and restored health.
• Pierce ordered Sitwell to obtain Vibranium by any means so Hydra could acquire more serum.
• Snipers and military forces prepared to attack Hidan as he walked toward a village in Africa, and Hidan sensed he was being watched.

Hidan walked into a village where S.H.I.E.L.D. had laid an ambush, then slaughtered the agents and residents as their weapons failed to stop him. Barton ordered tanks and Black Hawk Helicopters to attack, and Hidan left the village after killing everyone inside.

• Hidan spotted the ambush around the village but continued toward the entrance.
• S.H.I.E.L.D. agents opened fire with tranquilizer darts, and Hidan killed the old man who had approached him before dodging the darts.
• Hidan seized a tranquilizer grenade, ignored the anesthetic gas, and attacked the agents throughout the village.
• Barton ordered a tank unit and three Black Hawk Helicopters to attack after agents and snipers failed to stop Hidan.
• Hidan killed all fifty S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and the village’s residents, then walked out carrying his Triple-Bladed Scythe.

A tank unit and Black Hawk helicopters attacked Hidan as he performed a sacrifice in the village, but his speed and Undying Body let him survive and counterattack. The chapter left Hidan leaping toward a helicopter as its gunner fired at him.

• Ten M1A3 tanks fired three waves of shells at the village, destroying it and Hidan’s sacrificial offerings.
• Barton ordered the snipers to stay concealed while the tanks advanced and the helicopters descended to observe.
• Hidan survived the bombardment and charged out of the village, then killed the concealed snipers with Chakra-infused Shuriken.
• A Black Hawk gunner fired at Hidan, but he dodged the bullets and ran toward the helicopter.
• The helicopter launched a Hellfire Missile, which Hidan evaded with the Substitution Technique before leaping toward the aircraft.
• The machine gunner spotted Hidan alive beneath the Black Hawk and fired at him as he rose toward it.

Hidan destroyed a Black Hawk helicopter and wiped out the tank unit despite S.H.I.E.L.D.'s artillery and missile attacks. Barton realized the military base lacked weapons capable of reliably stopping him.

• Hidan summoned Might Guy's Ninja Turtle to leap toward a Black Hawk, then split the helicopter in two with his Triple-Bladed Scythe.
• Barton ordered the remaining helicopters to climb and the tanks to bombard Hidan, but Hidan crossed six kilometers and began destroying the tanks.
• Hidan smashed or cleaved the remaining tanks while evading their machine guns.
• Hidan destroyed one incoming Hellfire Missile with a tank barrel, then escaped the other three missiles as they detonated among the tank wreckage.
• Barton assessed the failed attack and learned the base's fighter missiles had only a three-hundred-meter blast radius.

Hidan followed the Black Hawk Helicopters across the desert, forcing Barton to order an emergency flight toward the Red Sea rather than risk revealing the base. In New York, Charlotte’s bloodline transformation finished, and he awoke as the chakra cocoon disappeared.

• Barton ordered the Black Hawk Unit to return to base and suspend its attack, but Hidan ran beneath the helicopters and kept following them.
• The pilots changed course to test whether Hidan was tracking them, and Barton realized he was trying to discover the base’s location.
• When the helicopters lacked enough fuel to reach Ethiopia’s national airport, the pilots proposed flying toward the Red Sea and parachuting out.
• Barton told the pilots to head toward the Red Sea and jump when they ran out of fuel, urging them to survive if Hidan stopped following.
• Tsunade observed Charlotte’s transformed body as his chakra cocoon faded, and Charlotte awoke when the cocoon vanished.

Charlotte woke after nine days of bloodline evolution with greatly increased Chakra and learned that his transformation had been formally recognized by the system. As Ginny reported on recent events and Itachi delivered Hidan’s gift, Charlotte ordered Itachi to confirm Hidan’s safety.

• Charlotte woke to find Tsunade guarding him and discovered that his Chakra had grown to over a hundred cards with Kage-level power.
• Charlotte learned that his transformation had taken nine days, then entered the System Space and received the title Descendant of Six Paths and one battle slot.
• Hidan followed two S.H.I.E.L.D. Black Hawk Helicopters until their crews crashed them into the sea, and Barton’s base held a memorial for the dead agents.
• Ginny reported that the Werewolves had killed around thirty S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and that S.H.I.E.L.D. had paid 500 Energy Blocks; she also explained that the third-generation serum required more wizard corpses.
• Charlotte asked the Red Queen to summon Itachi Uchiha, who reported warning Hidan and delivered a pouch of Blood Cores from him.
• Charlotte ordered Itachi to contact Hidan through the Summoning Realm and confirm that he was safe.

Charlotte and Tsunade sparred at the base, and Charlotte overwhelmed her with his strength before carrying her away unconscious. Tsunade revealed she had been pretending to stay unconscious, leaving the two staring at each other in her room.

• Tsunade challenged Charlotte to spar, and he caught her first attack with ease.
• Tsunade and Charlotte exchanged more than twenty powerful blows, drawing the base's Ninjas to Training Ground No. 3.
• Charlotte and Tsunade unleashed their strongest punches, and Charlotte's greater strength knocked Tsunade unconscious and destroyed the training ground.
• Charlotte carried Tsunade to her room while Balthazar teased him about being in love with her.
• Tsunade admitted through her actions that she had been pretending to be unconscious, then sat up and stared at Charlotte.

Charlotte explained the Sage of Six Paths’ descendants to Tsunade, while Nick Fury considered how S.H.I.E.L.D. could deal with Hidan after its failed operation. After reuniting with his subordinates and continuing his recruitment, Charlotte recruited Shino Aburame.

• Charlotte told Tsunade that the Senju and Uchiha descended from the Sage of Six Paths and recounted the story of Indra and Asura.
• Barton returned to New York with the surviving S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel and equipment after losing more than half his people.
• Nick Fury concluded that S.H.I.E.L.D. could not defeat Hidan with its current resources and decided not to call Captain Marvel for help yet.
• Charlotte discussed the possibility of Tsunade growing stronger through bloodline transformation before they joined the evening gathering at the base.
• Itachi told Charlotte that Hidan was unharmed in the Summoning Realm, and Balthazar arranged to return to the Magic World with Dave the next day.
• Charlotte entered the System Space and recruited Shino Aburame after seeing that he had enough Ninja Fragments.

Charlotte recruited Shino Aburame and Tayuya, increasing his chakra and adding their abilities to his growing collection. He then bought fragments for Kidomaru, Deidara, Kisame, and Kurenai Yuhi, leaving Kidomaru one fragment short of recruitment.

• Charlotte reviewed Shino Aburame's kikaichū skills, recruited him, and increased his chakra to 101 cards.
• Charlotte recruited Tayuya, gained her ninjutsu, and increased his chakra to 110 cards.
• Charlotte considered completing the Sound Four and opening another deployment slot by recruiting Kidomaru.
• Charlotte found Kidomaru, Deidara, Kurenai Yuhi, and Kisame in the System Store and bought nine fragments for each.
• Charlotte spent 10,620 Gold Coins, leaving him with 24,924 Gold Coins; Kidomaru remained one fragment short of recruitment.

After recovering, Charlotte reviewed his strength and resources, then converted stored goods and magic equipment into Gold Coins. Temari’s report revealed a source of Secondary Adamantium, Vibranium, and Adamantium for making ninja tools.

• Charlotte assessed his abilities and inventory, judging himself a formidable Kage-level fighter with an Undying Body and Snake Substitution.
• Charlotte recharged 200 Blood Cores, 550 Energy Blocks, and an evil Mage’s magic equipment, raising his Gold Coins to 137,924.
• Charlotte arranged for the evil Mage’s corpse to be sent to Orochimaru’s Laboratory for Magic Factor extraction.
• Charlotte considered contacting Tony about using newly made Arc Reactors for more Gold Coins.
• Charlotte read Temari’s mission report, which listed prices and uses for Secondary Adamantium, Vibranium, and Adamantium obtained through the Sunagakure Puppet Shop.

Charlotte planned to gather more metal and use future recruits to exploit S.H.I.E.L.D.'s resources, while S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra separately considered how to deal with Hidan. After Charlotte signed in and opened the System Store to check the refreshed Ninja, the chapter left the identities of the four displayed portraits unrevealed.

• Charlotte told Temari to collect more metal and decided not to investigate the organization that had requested a Werewolf corpse.
• Barton reported his failed mission against Hidan to Nick Fury, who sent Coulson to ask Charlotte and the Sunagakure Puppet Shop to take a contract against him.
• Nick Fury told Barton to rest, then Pierce offered support and privately ordered Hydra to find and recruit Hidan.
• Charlotte signed in and received fifty servings of Delicious Ramen, then opened the System Store and saw four Ninja portraits.

Charlotte bought fragments to recruit Kidomaru and Itachi Uchiha, completing the Sound Five and gaining two battle slots. He examined their abilities and ended with Itachi’s Mangekyō skills available to him ahead of his upcoming mission with Thor.

• Charlotte bought the remaining fragments for Kidomaru and Itachi Uchiha, along with nine fragments each for Might Guy and Kurenai Yuhi.

• Charlotte received a battle slot each for completing the Sound Four and Sound Five titles.
• Charlotte recruited Itachi Uchiha and inspected his Amaterasu, Shadow Clone Explosion, and altered Tsukuyomi abilities.

Charlotte recruited Itachi Uchiha, awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, and brought several ninjas into his world. When Coulson asked him to capture Hidan, Charlotte revealed Hidan was an S-rank, Kage-level threat and demanded the Tesseract as payment, leaving the commission unlikely to proceed.

• Charlotte awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan and concluded his strength would let him use it without losing his eyesight.
• Charlotte spent 72,000 Gold Coins to open three battle slots, then had the Sound Five study tablets about the world.
• Charlotte brought Tenten into his world, gave her a learning tablet, and arranged for Neji to take her out.

• Charlotte told Coulson that Hidan was an S-rank, Kage-level ninja and said S.H.I.E.L.D. would need to offer the Tesseract to hire him.

Charlotte arranged for the Sound Five to negotiate with Coulson and for Hidan to attack S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters, while also sending money to Tony. Coulson went to the Sunagakure Puppet Shop to commission Hidan's capture, where Temari warned that the mission could be costly.
