Chapter Summaries

Temari rejected S.H.I.E.L.D.'s proposed commission for dealing with Hidan because it could not provide the required payment. Coulson then met with Tayuya and the Sound Five, who agreed to take the mission on the condition that Otogakure would be paid whether it succeeded or failed.

• Temari demanded either the Tesseract or one ton of Vibranium to deal with Hidan, and Coulson left when S.H.I.E.L.D. could not provide either.
• Temari told Kankuro that Gaara was on a mission and said she was more concerned that London’s Moes might annoy him.
• Tayuya approached Coulson outside the Sunagakure Puppet Shop, introduced herself as an Otogakure Ninja, and summoned the other four members of the Sound Five.
• Coulson brought Tayuya and the Sound Five to the Triskelion to discuss the mission while Nick Fury and agents watched from another room.
• Tayuya agreed that Otogakure would attack Hidan but required S.H.I.E.L.D. to pay the commission regardless of the outcome.

The Sound Five agreed to help S.H.I.E.L.D. hunt Hidan in exchange for a New York base and Energy Blocks, and stayed at a location Coulson provided. Charlotte fused Anbu Itachi Uchiha with Akatsuki's Vermilion Bird Itachi Uchiha, leaving the newly strengthened Itachi to absorb his memories and ask Charlotte for orders.

• Tayuya asked Coulson for a ten-mu base in New York and fifty Energy Blocks for each of the Sound Five, while Kimimaro's record of killing a Kage-level powerhouse reassured Coulson about their strength.
• Nick Fury suspected Otogakure was in Japan after an agent identified the Sound Ninja's ropes as Shimenawa, and ordered S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in Japan to investigate.
• Coulson and the Sound Five agreed to cooperate against Hidan, and Kimimaro accepted Coulson's offer for them to stay at a S.H.I.E.L.D.-provided location while the agency searched for Hidan.
• Charlotte removed Anbu Itachi Uchiha from the battle roster and fused his Ninja Card with Akatsuki's Vermilion Bird Itachi Uchiha, creating a two-star A-rank Fusion card.
• Charlotte manifested the fused Itachi Uchiha, who absorbed both sets of memories, awakened a Kage-level aura, and asked Charlotte for orders.

Charlotte sent Itachi Uchiha out as Akatsuki’s Vermilion Bird with Hidan to search for extraordinary creatures and rechargeable items. In London, Gaara killed a group of men who tried to extort him and captured a werewolf, leaving the police to find the bloody aftermath.

• Charlotte told Itachi Uchiha to leave the base publicly as Akatsuki’s Vermilion Bird and search for extraordinary creatures and rechargeable items with Hidan.
• Itachi Uchiha left his Anbu outfit with Charlotte, asking him to give it to Sasuke, then departed.
• Gaara arrived in London to retrieve a werewolf corpse and went to Trafalgar Square, where a group of men tried to extort him.
• Gaara used sand to kill four men who surrounded him and crushed the man with the camera when he tried to flee.
• Gaara found a werewolf, restrained him with sand, and left Trafalgar Square with him as the police arrived after the attack.

Charlotte gave Sasuke Itachi’s Anbu uniform and told him that Itachi had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and would operate as a Missing-nin while completing missions. He then summoned Shino Aburame and saw Mei Terumi appear as the new A-Rank Ninja in the recruitment interface.

• Charlotte gave Sasuke Itachi’s Anbu uniform and warned him not to reveal Itachi’s status as a Missing-nin.
• Sasuke asked Orochimaru to guide his training, and Orochimaru agreed to take him on as an assistant.

• Charlotte opened the Ninja recruitment interface and saw Mei Terumi appear as an A-Rank Ninja.

Charlotte discovered the Ninja Costume Store, bought Itachi Uchiha’s Weaving Reality outfit, and trained for three days while S.H.I.E.L.D. searched unsuccessfully for Hidan. The chapter ended with Hidan attacking the Triskelion, where Nick Fury ordered Coulson to summon the Otogakure ninja to capture him.

• Charlotte considered recruiting Kirigakure ninja but realized his 32,654 Gold Coins were insufficient, so he decided to set Hidan’s attack on S.H.I.E.L.D. in motion.
• After opening limited ninja recruitment three times, Charlotte unlocked the Ninja Costume Store and bought Itachi Uchiha’s Weaving Reality outfit for 1,800 Gold Coins.

• Coulson told Nick Fury that S.H.I.E.L.D. had lost track of Hidan and was struggling to gather intelligence from Otogakure.
• Hidan attacked the Triskelion, and Nick Fury ordered Coulson to summon the Otogakure ninja to capture him.

Hidan attacked the S.H.I.E.L.D. Triskelion, killed the agents at its entrance, and destroyed a Quinjet despite the base’s escalating defenses. Kimimaro and the Sound Five were sent to confront him as the assault continued.

• Nick Fury raised the base’s alert to red, prompting civilian evacuations and the mobilization of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

• Hidan hooked the Quinjet with his scythe, climbed onto it, and sliced it apart, sending it crashing into a fireball.

Nick Fury withheld superhero support and sent the Sound Five to confront Hidan, while Charlotte monitored the operation remotely. The Sound Five trapped Hidan in a deadly barrier, and Kimimaro began fighting him.

• Nick Fury watched the surveillance feed and kept the operation to capture Hidan under his control.
• Kimimaro and the Sound Four confronted Hidan, then Tayuya, Jirobo, Sakon and Ukon raised the Four Violet Flames Formation around the fighters.
• Two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents touched the barrier and burned to ash, prompting Nick Fury to blame the Otogakure ninja.
• Charlotte watched the same feed through the Red Queen and laughed when S.H.I.E.L.D. agents tested the barrier.
• Kimimaro declared that Hidan would become their bounty, drew a bone blade from his arm, and charged at him.

Kaguya Kimimaro made his debut by sparring with Hidan inside the Four Violet Flames Formation while S.H.I.E.L.D. and Pierce tested the barrier with a missile. Kimimaro’s attacks failed to wound Hidan, who ultimately battered him back with his scythe.

• Kimimaro charged Hidan, who dodged his bone blades before the two clashed in close combat.

Kimimaro transformed with the Earth Cursed Seal and fought Hidan at full strength, revealing rapid healing even after Hidan broke through his bone defenses. As the match paused, Nick Fury and Coulson discussed exploiting severe injuries to capture Hidan and the Otogakure team.

• Kimimaro activated the Earth Cursed Seal, raised his strength beyond Elite Jonin level, and began the second round against Hidan.
• Hidan unleashed his Kage-level strength as the two fought at speeds that forced Nick Fury to slow the surveillance footage.
• Kimimaro used Dance of the Larch to grow a defensive layer of bones, but Hidan broke the spikes and wounded his shoulder with the Triple-Bladed Scythe.
• Kimimaro knocked the scythe away and healed his shoulder almost instantly, while Hidan restrained himself from licking the blood from his weapon.
• Nick Fury asked whether S.H.I.E.L.D. could capture both sides if they were badly injured, and Coulson agreed to prepare tranquilizer rounds and other weapons in case the opportunity arose.

Kimimaro transformed into Cursed Seal Level 2 and appeared to defeat Hidan, but Hidan’s Undying Body let him recover. Itachi Uchiha arrived, burned open the barrier with Amaterasu, and left with Hidan after announcing a new mission from the leader.

• Kimimaro activated Cursed Seal Level 2 and attacked Hidan with his bone weapons.

• Itachi Uchiha burned a hole through the Four Violet Flames Formation with Amaterasu, allowing Hidan to escape.
• Itachi Uchiha and Hidan departed, while the Sound Four gathered beside Kimimaro.

After the attack on S.H.I.E.L.D., Kimimaro and the Sound Five negotiated their mission payment while Nick Fury considered how to counter the Ninja. Pierce ordered Hydra to pursue Hidan, gather Vibranium, and investigate Werewolves, while the Sound Five secured a renovated Staten Island base and 250 Energy Blocks.

• Nick Fury ordered the attackers detained, then let Itachi Uchiha and Hidan leave after Coulson warned that S.H.I.E.L.D. could not stop them.
• Kimimaro released State Two, said he felt better than ever, and declared the bounty mission complete as the Sound Five prepared to collect their payment.
• Charlotte watched from his base and expected Kimimaro and the others to draw in new allies, while Pierce ordered Hydra to find Hidan, investigate Werewolves in Britain, and acquire Vibranium and Physical Enhancement Serum.
• Tayuya demanded the promised bounty from Coulson and threatened S.H.I.E.L.D. if it withheld payment; Jirobo punched through the mirrored wall and exposed Nick Fury watching them.
• Coulson confirmed that S.H.I.E.L.D. had prepared a renovated fifteen-acre base on Staten Island and would deliver 250 Energy Blocks, satisfying Tayuya.

Coulson paid Tayuya for information about the ninja who broke Otogakure’s barrier, and she identified him as Itachi Uchiha, a Konoha S-rank Missing-nin. After the Sound Five departed with their mission payment, Coulson went to discuss Itachi with Nick Fury.

• Coulson asked Tayuya about the powerful ninja who had appeared and paid her fifty Energy Blocks for information.

• Coulson went to Nick Fury’s office, where Fury asked what he thought of Itachi.

S.H.I.E.L.D. discussed recruiting lower-ranked Missing-nin and sought Konoha’s cooperation. Charlotte recruited Kiba Inuzuka after buying his fragments, bringing his Chakra to 119 cards while he still needed Kurenai Yuhi to complete Team 8.

• Charlotte recruited Kiba Inuzuka, completing the reconnaissance team’s Genin and increasing his Chakra to 119 cards.

Charlotte deployed Kiba Inuzuka, then discussed Itachi Uchiha with Coulson after S.H.I.E.L.D. reported that Itachi had rescued Hidan. Charlotte offered a Konoha Physical Enhancement Serum as a reward for capturing Itachi and sold Coulson intelligence about him, leaving Coulson to sign the commission form.

• Coulson bought one dose of Physical Enhancement Serum for S.H.I.E.L.D.
• As Coulson prepared to leave, Charlotte explained that Konoha classified Missing-nin as S-rank, A-rank, or B-rank, since weaker ninja could not escape the village.

Coulson brought Konoha's Physical Enhancement Serum to S.H.I.E.L.D., where Nick Fury approved buying as much as possible and sought other Ninja resources. Charlotte then received orders from Ancient One to travel to Asgard in three days and help Thor suppress the rebellion in the Nine Realms.

• Coulson presented Nick Fury with Konoha's Physical Enhancement Serum, and Fury ordered immediate testing and bulk purchases despite its price and limited availability.
