At first, Wu Chen could answer every question properly.

"Is their skin tough? Why can it stop bullets? Big brother, what was that blue ball of light you used to beat them? Was that magic? And why can you teleport? How can you run so fast like you are now, too?!"

"Fairly tough, I guess. That wasn't magic, it was all Ninjutsu! I'm a ninja."

"Ninjutsu? A ninja?! Big brother, I want to be a ninja. Do you think I can? Oh, and I've played games with ninjas in them before, but none of them were very strong! Big brother, why are you so strong?"

"Big brother, do ninjas have to endure things? Why do you make those hand signs when you shoot fireballs? You..."

But as Peter kept going, Wu Chen no longer wanted to answer.

In just a minute or two, he had managed to ask dozens of questions, and every one of them was wordy!

Wu Chen didn't think he disliked children, and he certainly didn't dislike Spider-Man, but he was getting annoyed to death.

"I can do things better than every ninja you know because I have Chakra!!"

After answering that last question, Wu Chen immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique and left, leaving Spider-Man alone and excited.

"Ninjas are so awesome!!"

When Wu Chen returned, Black Widow, who happened to be looking at the rooftop from a distance, clearly saw him appear there in a flash of golden light.

Naturally, that was because Wu Chen hadn't tried to hide. He had intended to let Black Widow find him.

Only then could things develop as he wanted.

Otherwise, while playing Minato Namikaze, who had mastered Space-Time Ninjutsu, Wu Chen couldn't be found by anyone if he didn't want to be.

After Black Widow spotted him, Wu Chen noticed her watching him and used the Body Flicker Technique to travel straight from the rooftop to Black Widow Natasha's side. "Hello, ma'am. You seem to be looking for me. Do you need my help?"

They had been dozens of meters apart, but he was in front of her in an instant. Even though the intelligence had told her he had this ability, Natasha couldn't help feeling a little surprised. "Was that teleportation just now?"

"Teleportation?" Wu Chen paused. "That was the Body Flicker Technique. It wouldn't be wrong to call it teleportation, though."

"The Body Flicker Technique? Then was that what you used to stop Hulk and Abomination last night?" Natasha seemed to think Minato Namikaze was easy to talk to, so she pretended to make conversation, gathering information while building rapport.

"That wasn't it." Wu Chen shook his head. Naturally, he saw through Natasha's intentions, but he had no intention of exposing them.

Revealing a little information at the right time was also a way to demonstrate his power.

"If it wasn't the Body Flicker Technique, what was it?"

Natasha raised her face slightly. Her makeup followed East Asian beauty standards because S.H.I.E.L.D. had speculated that Minato Namikaze was probably from East Asia.

Although he had blond hair and blue eyes, his facial features weren't Western in style, so he was most likely of mixed ancestry.

At the moment, Black Widow looked slender, delicate, and endearing. This approach could work wonders when dealing with East Asian men.

But Wu Chen knew Black Widow's true background well and wasn't moved by her in the slightest.

Still, he didn't become hostile toward her because of it. After all, she was an agent, and her body was also her weapon.

Besides, he had no intention of changing his strategy, so he put on a serious expression and answered modestly, "It was Space-Time Ninjutsu—the Flying Thunder God Technique! It was created by the Second Hokage of our Konohagakure. I'm merely standing on the shoulders of giants."

"So it was Space-Time Ninjutsu!" Natasha looked thoughtful.

Through the miniature microphone on Natasha, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s think tank also picked up and extracted the key terms "space," "Ninjutsu," "Konohagakure," and "Second Hokage."

Those few key terms alone revealed a great deal.

"Space-Time Ninjutsu? The superpower Minato Namikaze uses is Ninjutsu, and it's related to space. He isn't the only one who knows it, either!"

"Konohagakure! Looks like there's no point wasting any more effort searching. We're bound to come up empty-handed. For an organization with superpowers like this, the 'hidden' in its name tells us they must have concealed their headquarters or base with superpowers. Without the right means, there's absolutely no way to find it."

"Minato Namikaze is the Fourth Hokage, and Konoha also has a Second Hokage! That means Konoha has at least four people as powerful as Minato Namikaze: the First, Second, Third, and Fourth!"

After listening to the think tank's analysis, the one-eyed, bald Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., immediately ordered Natasha, "Natasha, ask about the past Hokage of Konohagakure!"

"Also, try asking whether other people can learn their superpowers!"

"And of course, most importantly, find out why Konoha sent its Fourth Hokage to New York!"
