Ninja System

"What department are you from?"

"The military, the CIA, or the Department of Homeland Security?"

With a scruffy beard, wearing a worn-out t-shirt, a glowing "lamp" on his chest, and giving off a sour, sweaty stench, Tony Stark looked at the black-haired young man in front of him with surprise.

"None of them. My name is Roy, and I am a private detective."

"Someone paid to have me come to Afghanistan to rescue you, and they spared no expense."

Roy looked Tony up and down, and answered calmly.

A private detective?

Hearing his answer, not only did Tony show an unexpected expression, but Yinsen at the side also looked completely puzzled.

Although he did not know whether what Roy said was the truth, Tony did not waste time thinking about it and quickly asked, "Who hired you to save me? Obadiah?"

He did not have many friends; you could count them on one hand.

And among these few friends, there was only one who had the ability to spend a huge sum of money to hire someone to rescue him.

Obadiah Stane!

Roy shook his head and replied, "No, the person who hired me is your secretary, Ms. Potts."

Saying this, he took a note from his pocket, placed it on the workbench in front of him, and continued, "She went all the way to New York to commission me, promising that as long as I rescued you, she would do her utmost to persuade you to pay the commission reward."

"The specific details are written on the note. You should be able to recognize her signature and handwriting."

Tony had a quirk.

That was that he did not accept things from the hands of strangers.

Tony frowned slightly and picked up the note on the workbench.

The content on the note was not much, just two or three sentences, and he finished reading it very quickly.

A commission reward of 30 million US dollars!

This was not the main reason Roy came to rescue Tony.

He came to the mountainous area of Afghanistan to rescue Tony, who had been kidnapped by the Ten Rings, mainly to obtain the reward given by the system.

To become the One-Tail Jinchuriki!

Speaking of this, he had to mention Roy's origins.

He was not a native of this world, but a time-traveler who crossed over half a year ago.

Like other fellow travelers, he crossed over upon waking up, and awakened the golden finger that came with being a time-traveler.

The Ninja System!

As long as he completed commissions that came from other people and passed the system's judgment, he could obtain various rewards from the Naruto World.

The rewards given by the system included, but were not limited to, ninjutsu, Kekkei Genkai, Tailed Beasts, ninja tools, and so on.

In other words, as long as he completed enough commissions, whether it was the Sharingan, Rinnegan, Wood Release, or other Kekkei Genkai, or all the Tailed Beasts and ninjutsu, he could possess them all.

If he didn't like the rewards given by the system, it was fine too; he could just directly reject the commission without paying any cost at all.

Returning to this particular commission.

The moment Pepper's commission passed the system's judgment and the commission reward was displayed, Roy decided that this commission had to be done.

Although the Tailed Beast rewarded this time was not his favorite Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but rather the One-Tail Jinchuriki, he was still very satisfied with this reward.

The difficulty of rescuing Tony from the Afghanistan branch of the Ten Rings was not high.

At least it wasn't high for him.

Compared to the difficulty of the commission, the reward of becoming the One-Tail Jinchuriki was extraordinary and generous.

Tony put away the note and asked, "How do you plan to get us out?"

"Very simple, just walk out."

Roy answered with a calm expression.

Before coming in, he had already wiped out all the terrorists outside.

At this time, apart from the three of them, there was not a single living person left in the cave and the valley.

Tony wanted to continue asking something, but Roy turned around and walked toward the outside of the cave.

Watching his departing figure, Tony thought for a moment, turned his head, and said to Yinsen, "Burn all the design blueprints and destroy the computers."

"Okay!"

Yinsen did not hesitate at all and replied immediately.

After saying that, he picked up the iron hammer nearby and started hammering fiercely at the laptop on the workbench.

80, 80, 80...

Tony was not idle either, collecting all the design blueprints of the Mark I at the fastest speed and throwing them all into the furnace in one go.

Soon, these design blueprints were burned to ashes.

After throwing the fragments of the laptop into the furnace as well, Tony and Yinsen caught up with Roy's footsteps.

In the dim corridor, the corpses of the terrorists were visible everywhere.

Their methods of death were not the same.

Some had their hearts pierced, some had their throats slit, and others were squeezed and twisted into inhuman shapes.

If dying from a pierced heart and a slit throat was something Tony and Yinsen could more or less understand.

After all, these two methods of death were conventional ones and nothing rare.

But dying from being squeezed and twisted into an inhuman shape was not quite so common.

"How did he die?"

Tony pointed at one of the corpses that had been squeezed and twisted to death, asking with puzzlement.

"Pinch-killed."

Roy Responded.

Pinch-killed?

Tony looked at Roy with a face full of puzzlement.

He did not hesitate at all and continued to ask, "How do you pinch someone to death?"

Roy stopped in his footsteps, turned his head to look at Tony, whose face was written full of curiosity, and unhurriedly raised his right hand.

Sand Binding Coffin!

Under his manipulation, the sand on the ground seemed to possess life as it surged toward a corpse with a slit throat, wrapping it up completely.

Sand Burial!

Silently chanting in his heart, Roy's right hand suddenly clenched into a fist.

Shouting out the name of a ninjutsu would not increase its power, so he was accustomed to chanting silently in his heart rather than shouting it out directly.

The sand wrapping the corpse compressed violently, and the terrifying high-intensity pressure instantly crushed the corpse, blood splashing out from the gaps in the sand.

"Pinch-killed just like this."

Roy stopped the execution of the ninjutsu, and the sand wrapping the corpse scattered under the action of gravity, revealing the corpse that had been squeezed and twisted out of human shape.

How could this be possible?

Seeing him manipulate sand to crush a corpse, both Tony and Yinsen instinctively drew in a sharp breath of cold air.

The scene before their eyes had completely exceeded their cognition.

"Are you a superhuman?"

Tony quickly asked.

Although he had never seen a superhuman before, having grown up in the United States since childhood, he had read plenty of superhero comics and was not unfamiliar with superhumans.

Not only that, for a period of time before he was kidnapped, he heard that a vigilante called "Spider-Man" had appeared in New York.

"Consider me one."

Roy nodded and continued walking toward the exit.

Seeing that he did not plan to explain too much, Tony suppressed the curiosity in his heart.

Before long, they arrived at the cave entrance.

The intense sunlight made Tony instinctively narrow his eyes.

After being kidnapped, this was the second time he had seen the sunlight.

When his eyes adapted to the light, he immediately scanned the situation in the valley.

Just like the first time he was brought out of the cave, the valley was filled with a large amount of weapons and equipment produced by Stark Industries.

The difference was that the last time he came out, the valley was crawling with terrorists everywhere.

And now, these terrorists had all turned into corpses.

Just as he was about to ask Roy what kind of transportation he planned to drive to leave the valley, Roy once again mobilized the chakra within his body.

The surrounding sand floated up, condensing into an irregular "Sand Cloud" large enough to accommodate three people sitting down.

The sand cloud was not a ninjutsu, but merely a manipulation of sand.

After the sand cloud formed, Roy stepped onto it first.

Tony and Yinsen originally thought the sand cloud would be soft and mushy, with a footfeel similar to stepping in sandy ground.

Facts proved that they had guessed wrong.

The sand cloud, which looked soft and mushy on the outside, was as solid as the ground with no difference at all, and could completely bear their weight.

When Tony and Yinsen also stepped onto the sand cloud, Roy manipulated the sand cloud to float upward.

"Can you destroy all the weapons in the valley?"

Tony suddenly spoke up and said.

"Sure."

"But it's going to cost extra!"

Roy responded.

"No problem, how much do you want?"

Tony asked quickly.

To him, any problem that could be solved with money was not a problem.

"$500,000!"

Roy said calmly.

"Deal!"

Tony agreed without even thinking.

He truly was a wildly famous billionaire in the Marvel Universe!

Roy sighed inwardly, raised both hands, and formed the Horse seal.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

The system granted him the talent for Hand-Seal-less Techniques, but he still formed the seals this time.

For no other reason than that it just looked a bit more badass this way!
