Agent Smith, the leader of the group, stepped forward and pointed his gun directly at Harry's forehead. "Enough of this nonsense, Harry," he said with a steely determination in his voice. "You know the consequences of betraying us. Quit stalling and lay down on the ground with your hands behind your head."
Harry nodded slowly, feigning compliance as he got down on his knees and placed his hands behind his head. As he lowered himself to the ground, he discreetly took out a smoke bomb from his system space which he had purchased on the spot from the system for five points.
Without wasting any time and with a swift movement, he threw the smoke bomb to the ground, releasing a cloud of smoke. In the blink of an eye, Harry's body seemed to dissolve into the swirling mist, leaving behind nothing but a lingering illusion of his presence.
He had used the smoke bomb for two reasons, one being to distract the people in front of him and the second reason was to deter any sniper from getting a proper aim at him, if a sniper was present at the site.
The agents were caught off guard for a split second, giving Harry the precious opportunity to act. From within the concealing cover of the smoke, he quickly performed the Body Replacement Technique, seamlessly swapping places with a nearby a wood log which he had place there while he was training the Body Replacement Technique.
As the smoke cleared, the agents found themselves aiming their guns at the wooden trunk, their expressions becoming even more determined as they realized Harry's attempt to deceive them.
Harry used the distraction to weave through the chaos, employing his agile Leaf Style Taijutsu to swiftly approach two of the agents and with precise strikes of his Kunai to their neck, he killed them.
The remaining agents regrouped and retaliated, their gunfire echoing through the air as they attempted to pin down Harry's elusive figure. But he was already on the move, utilizing his Clone Technique to create multiple illusory duplicates of himself that dashed in every direction, confusing the agents and making it nearly impossible for them to track the real Harry.
In the midst of the chaos, Harry seamlessly switched to his Transformation Technique, altering his appearance to resemble one of the agents. With his newfound disguise, he managed to infiltrate the group's ranks undetected, planting seeds of doubt and confusion among them as they hesitated to target their own colleague.
Taking advantage of their momentary hesitation, Harry swiftly disarmed another agent, using his mastery of close combat to swiftly neutralize his opponent.
Everyone including Agent Smith were bewildered by the unknown abilities that Harry was using. Still with many years of experience at their hand, they didn't flater and tried their best to fight Harry.
However Harry seemed to be unstoppable as he kept killing one agent after another while using the Ninja Technique in line with his Taijutsu and kunai.
Despite Agent Smith's formidable skills, Harry's determination and resourcefulness proved to be his greatest assets. With a final, decisive blow, Harry killed Agent Smith, leaving him on the ground with blood splurting out of his neck which slowly drenched his hairs.
Harry stood, panting, having exhausted almost half of his chakra reserves while fighting the agents. Although it seemed as though he had dominated the fight, he knew that the muscle memory of the body of the previous Harry, which he now occupied, had also played a very important role in the battle.
Harry had won the confrontation and that too without any scratch on his body. After he killed Agent Smith, the system panel had popped out rewarding him with 500 points.
Harry decided to ignore the reward for a while and without wasting any time he approached the Agent who he hadn't killed yet and had just knocked him unconscious. From the bit of the memories he had inherited from the previous Harry, he knew that this particular agent was a bit cowardly.
There was a low chance that he might answer a question of his. As for the rest Harry knew that they wouldn't answer anything even if they were tortured for weeks, so he could only kill them as leaving them alive means more problems for him in the future.
As he walked towards the unconscious Agent, he observed the bloodied surroundings, which he had caused. He felt a bit nauseous, but that feeling quickly drowned out by his resolve. He knew that if he were captured by them, he would definitely be killed sooner or later, and other than killing them, he had no other choice.
In any case, this wasn't the first time he had killed living beings. In his previous life, Harry had worked in his father's butcher shop. He had learned the art of cutting and preparing meat from his father, who was a skilled and experienced butcher. Harry had assisted in breaking down carcasses, cutting meat into various cuts, and preparing meat products.
Harry shook off all the unnecessary thoughts and woke up the unconscious agent with a swift kick to the ribs. The agent groaned and slowly opened his eyes, blinking in confusion and pain. Harry grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up to his feet, staring into the agent's eyes with a cold intensity.
"How did you find me?" Harry demanded, his voice low and dangerous.
The agent winced and grimaced, his breath coming in short, painful gasps. "I don't know," he admitted, his voice strained. "We received information from the higher-ups about your location. That's all I know, I swear."
"Who specifically gave you the information?" Harry pressed, his voice hard and unforgiving.
The agent shook his head weakly, his eyes darting around the blood-splattered area as if searching for an escape. "I don't know, they didn't tell me. It was just a directive from the top, orders that had to be followed. Please, you have to believe me."
"Useless," Harry sighed, swiftly retrieving the kunai from his system storage and sliced the neck of the Agent.
'Did the previous Harry accidentally leave some clues while escaping to this village? Harry thought as he was very careful during his stay in the village. The previous Harry also didn't bring any accessories with him when he escaped from HYDRA. Even the weapons provided to him by SHIELD were dumped, as he thought there might be a tracking mechanism in them.
No matter how much Harry thought, he couldn't come to a proper conclusion. So he decided to drop the matter and leave the place before the backup arrived.

After quickly washing himself in the nearby river, Harry swiftly went back to his own house where he was staying. He knew he needed to change his appearance and get rid of the clothes which were tinged a bit by the agents' blood as soon as possible to avoid drawing SHIELD to capture him.
With a sense of urgency, he quietly made his way to the neighbour's house and carefully looked through the windows to make sure no one was inside. It seemed that the owner was not home, so Harry took the risk and snuck in through the back door.
The house was simple and cozy, with a small bedroom that caught Harry's eye. He rifled through the drawers and found a set of clothes that would fit him. He quickly changed out of his old clothes and into the stolen clothes.
He then made his way to the front door, carefully checking outside to ensure that no one was around. Satisfied that the coast was clear, he slipped out of the house and began making his way towards the forest that stretched out beyond the village. He had packed his backpack with the stolen clothes and some supplies for his journey.
As he ventured deeper into the forest, Harry knew he had to be cautious. He couldn't risk being caught by any potential pursuers from SHIELD or HYDRA.
He focused his chakra and performed the Transformation Jutsu, altering his appearance to that of a character from a webseries which he had watched in his previous life. With his new appearance, he felt a sense of newfound freedom, knowing that he could move about more inconspicuously.
The forest was dense, with towering trees and an abundance of wildlife. Harry felt a sense of peace as he went deeper into the woods, the sounds of nature surrounding him.
'After deducting the 5 points I used to purchase the smoke bomb, I have a total of 677 points,' Harry concluded after reviewing the system panel. He had initially earned 107 points (deducting 5 points for purchasing smoke bomb) and then received an additional 500 points for completing his quest, along with the remaining 70 points from defeating the seven agents.
'With this I can purchase chakra paper along with some D Rank Techniques,' Harry was elated after the haul of points he had received after killing the agents and completing the quest.
As ventured deeper into the forest, Harry became engrossed in his thoughts. Event though he was contemplating, he still didn't let down his guard.
He was thinking about the path he should take which will deeply impact his entire future.
Currently there were two paths in front of him, each entailing a different future and different outcome.
If Harry chose the first path, he would make the decision to stay hidden and focus on honing his skills. He knew that by doing so, he would not interfere in the plot of the Marvel World and remain inconspicuous until he became strong enough to protect himself.
However, on this path, Harry also understood that he would rarely receive any situational quests from the system. This meant that he would have to rely on the basic quests to earn points. These basic quests, such as running, pushups, pull-ups, and sit-ups, only granted him two points per completion.
Harry realized that if he chose this path, it would take a long time to accumulate enough points to make significant progress. For example, just to purchase the Uchiha bloodline, he calculated that he would have to wait for almost 10 years if he kept completing the basic quests diligently.
Even after Harry purchased the Uchiha bloodline, he knew that he would have to spend a significant amount of time unlocking its full potential. The Sharingan, Mangekyou Sharingan, and eventually the Rinnegan were abilities that would require intense training and mastery. With the limited points he could earn from basic quests, it would take him years to accumulate enough to even consider unlocking these advanced abilities.
Furthermore, Harry was aware that the entities in the Marvel world were on a completely different level compared to the challenges he had faced so far. The Eternals, Celestials, Dormammu, and many others were overpowering forces in this world. Their powers and capabilities far exceeded anything Harry had encountered in his previous adventures. In front of these cosmic beings, Harry felt like nothing more than a weak ant, insignificant and easily crushed.
The thought of facing such overwhelming entities filled Harry with a sense of trepidation. He knew that in order to stand a chance against these formidable foes, he would need to push himself to the limits. The basic quests that earned him a mere two points each seemed utterly insignificant in the face of the monumental challenges that awaited him.
Moroeover the easy situational quest he had just completed rewarded him 500 points while the basic quest of becoming a Genin would reward him with only 400 points.
There was quite a difference between the reward of basic quest and a situational quest.
Moroeover just by staying hidden, he would miss quite a lot of basic quests such as destruction of Hydra or killing Alexander Pierce before he was done in by Nick Fury.
If chose this path, he wouldn't be able to complete the quest because he wouldn't be quite strong at that time and even if tried to complete it, the amount of risk he would face while doing the quest would be tremendous.
'You know what? This whole staying hidden and avoiding attention thing... it's just not me. I want to make a name for myself in the Marvel World, not fade into obscurity. I want to seek out power and influence wherever I can find it, not just wait for it to come to me,' Harry's eyes gleamed with excitement.
Ultimately, Harry decided that this path was too passive for his liking. He craved excitement and the thrill of challenging situations.
On the other hand if, Harry chose the second path, he would have to interact with the plot of the Marvel world, taking risks in order to gain strength. He would find himself in the midst of epic battles, facing off against powerful adversaries and overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.
By actively engaging with the challenges and conflicts of the Marvel universe, Harry would not only gain valuable experience and skills but also garner the attention of key figures within the world.
He would receive a huge surge in points if he completed the large amount of situational quests given to him by the system, thus becoming stronger at a rapid rate. The thrill of these daring escapades and the satisfaction of making a tangible impact on the Marvel world was exactly what Harry had been yearning for, and he was ready to embrace it wholeheartedly.
With a determined glint in his eye, Harry made up his mind to take the second path. He would not shy away from the challenges that lay ahead, for it was in facing adversity that he would truly grow stronger.
'I guess this is my ninja way,' Harry thought as a small smile crept over his face.
