While intending to stage a showdown of powerful ninjas today, Wu Chen did not plan to incite the Nine-Tails' rampage just yet. Because S.H.I.E.L.D. still had no real understanding of the ninjas' might, they hadn't even hinted at mobilizing the citizens of New York to evacuate. How could this be?
Although Wu Chen could control his strength with one hand behind his back, summoning the Nine-Tails through the summoning card meant summoning the complete form of the Nine-Tails. One misstep could lead to the destruction of New York City. Wu Chen was concerned that the Nine-Tails' rampage erupting now might harm innocent civilians. It wasn't about being saintly; it was about not wanting to involve too many innocent lives in his affairs. This was Wu Chen's bottom line. If a person had no bottom line, they would become more terrifying than villains.
Of course, innocent people Wu Chen didn't want to involve didn't include criminals, thugs, or villains. So, today's showdown of powerful ninjas had to be grandiose, making it clear to S.H.I.E.L.D. how destructive ninjas could be. Then, the citizens of New York would be urged to evacuate. Only then could Wu Chen proceed with the Nine-Tails' rampage, collect money, and play his part.
Upon hearing Wu Chen's words, Coulson, Natasha, and even the think tank and Nick Fury within S.H.I.E.L.D. were slightly stunned. Before they could say anything, Wu Chen continued, "However, this suits me just fine. Running away without fighting is not my style. Moreover, I am the Fourth Hokage of Konoha!"
Wu Chen's words were full of confidence, a confidence that only immense strength could bring. After listening, Nick Fury immediately ordered, "Send drones to Hell's Kitchen for surveillance. Make sure to capture clear images!"
Buzz~!
Three drones flew out from the Triskelion building of S.H.I.E.L.D., swiftly heading towards Hell's Kitchen.
Sure enough, as Wu Chen said, a spatial vortex appeared, and the masked man, accompanied by Kinbun, caught up.
Seeing the two pursuers, Coulson immediately said to Wu Chen, "Mr. Namikaze, are you confident in defeating that masked man?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Chen replied, "Seventy percent."
"Alright, Natasha and I will hold Kinbun back. You don't need to worry about us!"
Coulson also had enough insight; he realized that in such an extraordinary battle, he and Natasha as agents had no room to intervene. Instead of casually interfering and distracting Hokage Minato to protect them, it was better for them to directly hold back the other combatant and prevent them from disturbing Hokage Minato's fight.
Meanwhile, the masked man had similar thoughts. Looking at Kinbun, he pointed at Coulson and Natasha, saying, "Kinbun, let me see the results of your training. If I'm satisfied, I'll give you a ninjutsu that suits you for free."
Kinbun was ecstatic, his fighting spirit soaring as he glared at the two agents.
Suddenly, the space in the arena seemed to split into two parts. One part was the two agents battling the massive Kinbun, and the other part was Hokage Minato and the masked man facing each other from a distance.
At this moment, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance drones arrived.
Accompanied by the buzzing of propellers, as if sounding the horn of war, the two battlefields instantly began the fight.
Natasha and Coulson finally drew their pistols. They judged that with Kinbun's size, he must be of the type with immense strength and super defense but slow speed. In such a situation, if they didn't use lethal weapons, they likely couldn't even break through his defenses, let alone defeat or subdue him.
Seeing the agents wielding firearms, Kinbun's mouth curled into a grin. Firearms could indeed harm him now, but the problem was, you had to hit him first! With chakra at his disposal, Kinbun's movement speed had greatly increased. He was no longer the slow-moving behemoth he used to be. Although he couldn't outrun bullets, he could move faster than the agents could adjust their gun barrels. As long as he dodged the direction of the barrels, he would definitely not get shot!
However, even though he knew he had overwhelming strength against the two agents, Kinbun didn't plan to end the fight immediately. One reason was his cautious nature; he wanted to see the agents' strength first and act accordingly once he confirmed it. The other reason was that Kinbun wanted to watch the battle between the masked man and Hokage Minato. That was the real battle, using chakra ninjutsu. So, he multitasked, toying with the two agents while preventing them from suddenly rising up to subdue him and quietly observing the battle on the sidelines.
Compared to Kinbun, Natasha and Coulson felt quite pressured. They never expected that Kinbun, with such a large size, could run so fast! Seeing the blue light under Kinbun's feet and in his hands, they guessed the terrifying truth: Kinbun had mastered chakra! And the amplification effect of chakra on humans was unexpectedly huge!
While the two agents were paying attention to the battle between Hokage Minato and the masked man, even though it was two against one, facing Kinbun, they were completely focused. Because if they were a little careless, they would be slapped away by Kinbun with a single blow.
