Chapter 353: Sunagakure Puppet Shop
After sitting down in the conference room, Charles spoke, "Red Queen!"
"I'm here!"
"Notify Ginny, Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara to come to the conference room!"
"Understood."
At this point, Ginny had already assigned rooms to everyone in the base. Suddenly, metallic synthesized sounds echoed in the corridor.
"Ginny, Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara, please come to the conference room."
The announcement repeated three times before stopping, and once it was confirmed that all four had heard it, the messages ceased. The four individuals who received the notification reacted quickly and headed towards the conference room.
Soon, the four of them arrived in the conference room. After everyone had taken their seats, he began speaking:
" Temari, Kankuro, Gaara, I have prepared a place for you, as an outpost for the Hidden Sand Village here."
"Starting tomorrow, the three of you will operate independently from there, living in the outpost I have arranged for you."
"It's a building similar to an office, located near the Brooklyn Bridge."
Hearing Charles's words, the three of them did not speak, waiting for the main point of Charles's message. They knew that calling them here wasn't just about these matters.
"Charles Agency, as well as this base, will primarily serve Leaf Village ninjas, while your outpost will cater to Sand Ninjas."
"In the days to come, Sand Ninjas coming over will gather at your place."
"By letting you operate independently, it's not only to provide a base for Sand Ninjas but also to better acquire resources."
"After you are established, I expect agents from S.H.I.E.L.D. to come knocking on your door soon, maybe not just S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, but possibly other organizations as well."
"If they want to gather intelligence or explore cooperation possibilities with you, you can refer to the mission commissioning methods between Charles agency and S.H.I.E.L.D."
"The mission rewards will mainly be in the form of energy blocks and similar items. If you encounter items that you are uncertain about, you can take them first and send them to me through the Summoning World. I will assess their value."
Temari asked, "Lord Charles, are there any requirements or restrictions for selling intelligence? What kind of intelligence cannot be sold?"
Looking at Temari, Charles explained, "You cannot sell information on how you came to this world, the positions of the Five Great Nations, various ninja villages, and detailed information about ninja abilities cannot be revealed."
"Other information, such as the history of the ninja world, the Five Great Nations, and various ninja villages, can be sold based on actual situations."
After explaining all the important points, Charles pondered for a moment before continuing:
"At the moment, there are only three of you here, so there's no need to set up the same business as the agency."
"You can let Kankuro manufacture some low-end puppets without much attack power and don't require chakra manipulation for sale, making it your main business."
Hearing Charles mentioning him, Kankuro spoke, "No problem, making puppets is my specialty, especially crafting toy-like puppets is even simpler."
"As for the name of your shop, you can call it Sunagakure Puppet Shop. Also, you can learn more about the materials here and see if you can spark some new ideas with your puppetry."
"Additionally, if you have time, you can visit Tony Stark. I noticed during our time in the magical world that he was quite interested in you. It would be good for you to communicate with him."
"Besides this property, I've also had Ginny prepare $100 million as your startup capital. When the time comes, contact Ginny, and she will arrange these things for you."
"Understood, Lord Charles."
"We promise to complete the tasks!"
After instructing the three Sand Ninjas, Charles looked at Ginny and then said, "Ginny, besides cooperating with Temari and the others to establish the Sunagakure Puppet Shop, I need you to send a team of High Table envoys to protect someone."
Charles then had Red Queen search for a photo of Jane Foster and projected it.
"All you need to do is ensure her safety in case of any unforeseen incidents."
Looking at the woman in front of her, Ginny asked curiously, "Who is she?"
"She's Thor's girlfriend on Earth. He asked me to help look after her safety."
In fact, there wasn't much danger to Jane, but since Charles had accepted Thor's gift, it was only right to provide the necessary protection.
Hearing the name Thor, not only Ginny but also the Sand Ninja trio widened their eyes. Especially Temari and Kankuro, who had experienced the invasion of Hell, already knew that powerful entities existed in this world. However, they were still very interested in this Thor.
Ginny widened her eyes, "Thor, the god from Norse mythology? Heaven, they are actually real, and he even has a girlfriend on Earth."
Charles briefly explained Thor's story, and then instructed Ginny. There should be no accidents in this matter, but it's better to be cautious.
"I will arrange a team of werewolves. I believe with their protection, there shouldn't be any danger under normal circumstances. Even if something unexpected happens, they have the ability to delay until we can rescue her."
"Alright, follow your arrangement."
After instructing the four individuals, Charles led everyone out of the conference room. After the base settling-in matters were taken care of, he hosted a gathering.
This gathering was the most comprehensive since entering the magical world, with all of Charles's trusted subordinates present. Besides the ninjas, John Wick, Cross, Wesley, Selene, and Michael were also present.
After the gathering, everyone returned to their rooms to rest. Charles took the opportunity to retrieve Naruto and Sasuke into the system space for a ninja fusion.
Taking out Naruto's ninja card, Charles looked at the already fused ninja school version of Naruto. He placed the one-tailed version of Naruto beside him.
Ding! Proceed with the ninja fusion?
Without hesitation, he proceeded with the fusion. The two ninja cards emitted a bright light and then transformed into a single card.
The fusion of Naruto resulted in nine new abilities, significantly enhancing his strength. The main body of the fusion was Naruto during the Chunin Exams.
Looking at the fused Naruto, Charles placed him back in the battle slot. The display position was chosen to be the same as before the retrieval.
Back in bed, Naruto felt like he had a dream. He dreamt of the Chunin Exams, the battle with Sasuke, and Sasuke's departure.
Due to the second fusion, Naruto realized that this wasn't a dream but a memory. Thinking about Sasuke in the room next door and his current happy life, he smiled with contentment and fell asleep happily.
After Naruto fell asleep, Kurama, who resided within Naruto, opened his eyes. Due to Naruto's fusion this time, the seal that had completely blocked him and prevented the slightest bit of chakra from leaking out showed a tiny crack.
However, this crack was exceptionally small, and it couldn't permeate much. Even if he wanted to help Naruto, he could only maintain Naruto's one-tailed state, and he couldn't pull Naruto into this sealed space either.
...
With Naruto's fusion settled, Charles shifted his attention to Sasuke. Like Naruto, Sasuke had also undergone a fusion.
The only difference was that Sasuke's first fusion was with himself when he graduated as a ninja, unlocking the Sharingan, rather than a ninja school student like Naruto. Thus, his strength was relatively stronger.
After placing the curse mark Sasuke's ninja card beside the Uchiha Sasuke - Fusion card, Charles performed another ninja fusion.
After the successful fusion, Uchiha Sasuke's strength was once again enhanced, and he mastered a few more ninja techniques. Unfortunately, the Sharingan didn't strengthen due to the fusion with the ninja card.
Pulling Sasuke's ninja card back to the battle slot and displaying it in the previously recovered position, Charles exited the system space and went to bed, slowly falling asleep.
As Sasuke manifested after the fusion, he touched the curse mark on his neck, sensed the memories in his mind, and muttered, "Thank you, Lord Charles."
At the same time, Sasuke felt quite interested in Orochimaru, one of the newly added Sannin. Was he his second teacher?
Sasuke didn't linger; instead, he jumped off the bed. He wanted to go to the training room to experience his newly gained power.
...
Asgard-
After half a month since Thor shattered the Rainbow Bridge, the inhabitants of other worlds residing in Asgard had sent the news of the bridge's destruction through various means.
With the news spreading, the atmosphere in the Nine Realms became uneasy.
Upon learning that the Rainbow Bridge had indeed shattered, conspiracies against the stationed Asgardian soldiers in their respective worlds began to unfold.
Standing at the broken Rainbow Bridge, Heimdall scanned the Nine Realms. He instantly grasped the conspiracies that were about to happen, knowing the consequences of the shattered bridge.
Turning back to the Odin' palace, Heimdall began reporting to Odin.
"King, apart from the Atrium, even Jotunheim is no longer peaceful. They have begun plotting to attack the Asgardian soldiers stationed in those realms."
"Unless the Rainbow Bridge is repaired as soon as possible, rebellion is inevitable."
Odin listened to Heimdall's report.
"Repairing the Rainbow Bridge doesn't need to be rushed," Odin replied calmly. "Your task is to monitor which forces and leaders within the Nine Realms are participating in the rebellion. Note down their names."
"Yes, my king," Heimdall acknowledged. With Odin's command, Heimdall didn't linger and left.
As Heimdall departed, Odin, holding the Gungnir, gazed into the distance from the palace.
He knew his time was running out. Despite his continuous strengthening of power, he couldn't increase his lifespan.
"My time is running out. I hope this rebellion can eliminate those enemies lurking in the shadows and make Thor's path a bit easier," Odin thought.
He also contemplated that after his demise, Hela's seal would be broken, and with Thor's current yet unawakened power, he was no match for Hela. It left him feeling somewhat helpless.
He wished for Thor to grow during the suppression of the rebellion. Regarding the Supreme Merlin, Odin considered him merely as a pawn. He hoped that in the future, he would aid Thor. However, at this moment, Supereme Merlin's power was also far from sufficient.
...
With everyone moving to the new base, the original agency resumed normal operations. However, it was now under the management of Selene, Michael, and others since the ninja group no longer resided there.
The Sand Ninja Trio, with Ginny's assistance, had completely settled into the Sunagakure Puppet Shop in Brooklyn. Their identities and the puppet shop's procedures were all taken care of. Gaara also obtained his identity and social security account.
For this purpose, Ginny had even procured a batch of materials for Kankuro to make puppet dolls.
As the trio established their independent shop, this information was immediately compiled and reported to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Upon receiving the latest intelligence, Coulson's face lit up with a smile. He had been waiting for this day since learning that Temari, representing the Sand Hidden Village, was a ninja.
With the continuous increase in Sand Ninja, from Temari to Kankuro and now the newly introduced Gaara, Coulson was pleased to see the Hidden Sand Village setting up its own base, independent of the Hidden Leaf Village led by Charles.
However, Coulson found it peculiar that the Hidden Sand Village did not introduce a representative figure similar to Charles, as the Hidden Leaf Village had done.
Armed with the obtained intelligence, Coulson knocked on Nick Fury's office door.
"Director, the Hidden Sand Village ninjas have established their own base, independent from Charles agency."
While Nick Fury was busy correcting documents, he lifted his head to listen to Coulson's report.
"Get ready; we can start attempting to make contact with them. See what they need, and maybe gather some intelligence. Check if there's potential for cooperation."
"And, by the way, who are the Hidden Sand Village ninjas?"
Coulson handed over the files containing information on Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara. The documents included only their names, a full-body photo, and a picture of the Sunagakure Puppet Shop.
Reviewing the files, Nick Fury frowned slightly. Despite knowing that ninjas could be powerful, sending only children seemed less rigorous. Charles had brought adults with him initially, and there is also increasingly more Leaf Ninjas around him now.
"They are just children. What is the Hidden Sand Village thinking?" Nick Fury questioned.
"Perhaps these three are just initial scouts, similar to how Charles initially had only one ninja helping him, and more Leaf Ninjas were added later."
"Maybe the Hidden Sand Village plans to send more reinforcements once their puppet shop is established," Coulson speculated.
Nick Fury nodded and then looked at the shop's sign, puzzled. "Puppet Shop? What is that? Do you have any information?"
