To be honest, Wu Chen had indeed neglected Hawkeye's training. After teaching him those things several months ago, he hadn't checked up on Hawkeye since. Fortunately, Wu Chen finally remembered Hawkeye and managed to obtain the Exploding Shadow technique, promptly having Tobirama Senju teach it to Hawkeye as compensation. However, whether Hawkeye could learn it remained to be seen. If his chakra attribute wasn't Earth, then the Exploding Shadow technique would be out of his reach. Bringing out a chakra test paper and explaining its usage to Hawkeye, Tobirama watched as Hawkeye poured his chakra into it. Whoosh! As soon as his chakra entered the paper, a reaction occurred immediately. The paper split into two halves, with the upper half suddenly splitting into several pieces and the lower half eroded by soil, turning into powder. Tobirama's eyes lit up, and he smiled, saying, "Very good!" Hawkeye was delighted. Although he didn't understand the meaning of the paper's reaction, if Tobirama said it was good, then it must be good! Afterward, Tobirama briefly explained the different manifestations of the five chakra attributes on the test paper. "So, I have Wind and Earth attributes?" Hawkeye blinked, "Does that secret technique require specific chakra attributes?" Tobirama nodded, "You guessed it right. That technique requires Earth attributes to practice." Hawkeye was overjoyed, but what made him even happier was yet to come. "As for the Wind attribute," Tobirama said, "it's the most cutting and penetrating attribute! It's also the most suitable for you. If you can attach Wind attribute chakra to your arrows without any guidance, think about it, what would happen if you used Wind attribute chakra-transformed chakra on your arrows?" With that, Tobirama took the bow and arrow from Hawkeye's hand and prepared to shoot. Words alone weren't convincing; demonstrating the actual situation was the most persuasive. Blue wind attribute chakra appeared and enveloped the entire arrow. The compound bow was pulled to its fullest extent, making some creaking sounds under the strain. Twang! Tobirama finally released the bowstring. The arrow flew silently but incredibly fast. Hawkeye couldn't even see the arrow's trajectory; he only heard the sound of something hard being pierced. Turning his head, he saw that the custom-made steel plate five centimeters thick had been pierced directly! And the arrow's momentum remained unabated as it disappeared into the wall behind the steel plate. "This..." Hawkeye was dumbfounded. He had never imagined that a bow and arrow, without any high-tech arrowheads, could have such great power! If high-tech arrowheads were added, could they pierce tanks and then explode inside the tanks? Thinking of this, Barton's eyes lit up with excitement. "Master Tobirama, please teach me how to practice the Wind attribute chakra transformation!" Tobirama smiled and nodded. This was what he had come for. "But let's not rush into that. There's the secret technique I just mentioned..."
Meanwhile, in another training area, Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow, was diligently practicing her martial arts skills. Although she had given up her ambition to pursue Tobirama, after witnessing the destruction of New York, she was even more eager for power. Like Captain America, she thought of missions and training as two methods of becoming stronger. However, these methods didn't have much effect on her. After all, she was already an outstanding agent, excelling in both aspects. But she couldn't think of any other ways to become stronger. The only hope for her to cultivate chakra was when Hawkeye taught Captain America, Natasha secretly observed and tried it herself, only to find that, like Captain America, she couldn't cultivate even a trace of chakra. Helpless, she could only continue her seemingly useless efforts. Clap, clap, clap! The sandbag was being struck loudly. However, at this moment, Natasha suddenly felt a sense of impending death coming from the front!

"I know you are afraid to climb my bed because you are my maid but I'm your King and there is no one to punish you if i don't give the order. Nima, if you are not comfortable with what I have asked you to do I can understand. I know it's hard for you but I mean no harm"
This was what the King said to Nima, a maid in his palace two years after she was assigned as a maid by the King's wife Hemes.
TWO YEARS BEFORE NOW.
Nima stood up from his mother's kitchen and hissed. There was nothing to cook and she was very hungry.
"I still won't let you go to the palace" Said the mother as she wiped away the tears that rolled down her cheek.
"If I don't go to the palace to work how are we going to survive?" Nima hissed again and while she walked away her mother sobbed vehemently. Nima walked to the palace before was prevented from entering the palace by the men manning the gate.
"I need to work here" she said but one of the men with sword infront of him approached her and said, "I have been observing you for long. You have been asked to walk away from here yet you refuse and stand your ground. Do you want to be thrown into the dungeon?. Now leave" He commanded but Nima kept looking at him. The men at the gate began to laugh.
"Is she a zombie?" asked one of them and the rest laughed at her. Nima remained standing there and not moving an inch. Then the gate man with sword in his front moved forward to hit her when he heard a voice behind him and he immediately withdrew his hand and the rest with him bowed. He also bowed. The Queen was passing and everyone a the hate was expected to bow before her. When she reached where Nima was standing Nima who also bowed called for her attention and one of the men with the Queen made to approach her to hit her but the Queen stopped him while speaking to Nima.
"Who are you?" the Queen asked.
"My name is Nima my Queen. I am here to apply as a maid, your maid in the palace my Queen. The Queen looked at her from head to toe and asked one of her bodyguards to take her inside and show her where to sit and wait for her. The bodyguard bowed and moved. Nima was happy and she couldn't stop thanking the Queen. The Queen didn't say another word as she already moved with the rest of the bodyguards that were with her. When Nima left the gate the gate man that had a sword in his front looked at the rest that were manning the gate with him and said, "The gods are with that lady; to have gotten the attention of the Queen on her first visit, surely the gods love her" The rest nodded in agreement.
When Nima was seated where she was shown to sit and wait for the Queen she was imagining herself in that expensive dress that the Queen was putting on and somehow she believed the Queen must be her age mate. She smiled at herself for being so imaginative. Just then she heard a royal command and she looked down from the balcony where she was sitting and she could see the King coming out. It was a sight to behold. She did not know when her mouth opened in awe as she watched the entourage that was meant to escort the King out. She wondered where the young King was heading to. The first time she set her eyes on him was when he was taking his wife, the Queen. The King had been married to her for over four years without any issue and the people had started to whisper. Well, Nima did not think that should be anyone's business. She had said to her mother, "The King's wife will give birth when the gods decide. We are but humans, we don't give child, it is the gods that give children" But the mother had shook her head and said, "It is not the will of the gods for us to suffer and it is their will for us to have children and be blessed. When a man is not being blessed as he should such a man needs to ask his Chi what is wrong. If the Queen has not given birth since she was married to the palace then she must be worried, she should be worried" The mother said and stood up. Nima had thought about that but did not think deeply about it.
As she watched this exit from the palace by the King and his escort she was excited. Somehow she believed the rich and the powerful are chosen by the gods before they were born; if not why would she be this poor living in the same land with the nobles. She folded her hands and watched as the gates were realised for the King and his escort to move out. "Such a handsome man. I knew he would make a great King the very day he was crowned" she said and sat back.
That evening when the Queen returned she walked to her quarters and was told that the lady she asked to wait for her was still there waiting for her. She couldn't remember asking anyone to wait for her until Nima was sent for and she appeared before the Queen. Now the Queen recalled her face and asked, "You have been waiting here since morning?"
"Yes my Queen. You asked me to wait so I have to" said Nima.
"Have you had anything to eat since that time?" The Queen asked.
"No Ma but it doesn't matter. If I were at home there wouldn't be any difference. I would prefer to be hungry here than there"
The book is titled "The King Is Mine"
