Of course S.H.I.E.L.D. was willing!
Without the ability to stop a potential crisis on its own, it was only natural to seek outside help.
What else could it do?
Could it just sit back and let the crisis happen?
S.H.I.E.L.D., which regarded itself as the "protector of the world," could never do such a thing.
After some discussion, the payment for the mission was set at ten million dollars, and S.H.I.E.L.D. would provide Wu Chen with full assistance in carrying it out.
Now he was no longer short of money!
Wu Chen used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to his bedroom. Looking at the large case full of dollars in his hand, he couldn't help smiling.
He had thoroughly checked both the case and the money. There were no trackers or other nasty surprises.
S.H.I.E.L.D. had paid him in advance, a show of sincerity.
What was more, with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s help, it wouldn't be difficult to increase his progress in acting as Minato Namikaze.
After locking the money in his safe, Wu Chen activated the Flying Thunder God Technique again and returned to Black Widow Natasha's location.
She was in a moving sports car, and Wu Chen appeared directly in the passenger seat, where a Three-Pronged Kunai had been placed.
After all, men and women were different, so Wu Chen had not left the Flying Thunder God Mark of the Sword of Shinobi Love on Natasha. Instead, he had given her a Three-Pronged Kunai with a Flying Thunder God Mark attached.
Noticing Wu Chen's arrival, Natasha's lips twitched. Someone else had suddenly appeared in the car that was hers alone, and she couldn't make him leave. It left her with mixed feelings.
Even though she had long known that this might happen often in the future, Natasha couldn't discard the Three-Pronged Kunai.
That was because it was an order from Nick Fury, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Effective immediately, S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 7 Agent Natasha Romanoff is assigned as a personal intelligence liaison agent. Assigned individual: Minato Namikaze."
The appointment meant that whatever Minato Namikaze needed in the future, he could pass the message to S.H.I.E.L.D. through Black Widow.
Human megaphone get √
Since it was an order, no matter what Natasha thought, she could only accept the assignment and follow instructions.
That was the downside of being on the payroll.
In fact, Natasha's role was not limited to being a human megaphone. She was also the centerpiece of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s honey trap and its seduction technique.
There was reason to believe that if some sparks flew between Minato Namikaze and Natasha, S.H.I.E.L.D. would be more than happy to see it happen.
After all, nothing could bind a person more effectively than feelings.
Wu Chen knew nothing of this aspect of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s plans. If he had known, he would definitely have curled his lip in disdain.
Black Widow was indeed a great beauty, but her private life was rather messy. Wu Chen, who was somewhat of a mental germaphobe, would say: She's not my type.
Besides, the most important thing right now was to increase his acting progress and strengthen himself.
Romance and the like could wait!
Of course, Wu Chen wouldn't turn down a one-night stand or a friends-with-benefits arrangement.
However, he couldn't use Minato Namikaze's appearance. He had to look like himself.
If he used Minato Namikaze's appearance to sleep with a woman, would it be Wu Chen himself who had slept with her, or Minato Namikaze?
There was simply no way to sort it out, and he might even earn the achievement "I NTR'd myself."
On top of that, Wu Chen was a bit of a mental germaphobe, so he would avoid letting that happen.
Vroom, vroom~~
The sports car's engine roared. Seeing that Wu Chen was simply sitting obediently in the passenger seat, Natasha asked, "Mr. Namikaze, what are you planning to do now?"
"My orders are to stay with you the entire time, until this mission is over. If there's anything you need, please don't hesitate to tell me."
Wu Chen raised an eyebrow. "Anything I need?"
He deliberately gave her a somewhat lecherous look.
It made Natasha uncomfortable all over. After a long silence, she finally answered, "Yes."
It took all of Natasha's nerve to say that.
She knew what her role was.
"All right, then. I've been a little short on money lately. Does S.H.I.E.L.D. have any reasonably well-paying missions you could commission me to do?" Wu Chen said, seemingly offhandedly.
Natasha was stunned.
After Minato Namikaze's behavior just now, Natasha wouldn't have been surprised if he'd suggested they have sex in the car.
She had even prepared herself to offer herself up.
Who would have expected such a strange request instead?
He was actually volunteering to take commissions and complete missions. Were ninjas all mission maniacs? The kind of people who couldn't go a day without doing a mission?
Natasha relayed the odd request to S.H.I.E.L.D. through the audio transmitter on her person.
Nick Fury and the others looked at one another, also finding Wu Chen's behavior somewhat strange.
At Nick Fury's instruction, Natasha asked, "Mr. Namikaze, didn't we just pay you ten million dollars? How could you still be short of money?"
Wu Chen sighed helplessly. "I just took the ten million dollars back to the village. That money was for the village. Whatever I earn from now on will be my own."
"Even though we possess great power, we Konoha ninjas are good villagers who obey the law!"
