章節 484: Chapter 483: Speculation and Analysis
At this moment, Nick Fury was also contemplating: what exactly is the function of the energy block for ninjas?
Regarding the usage of this thing, S.H.I.E.L.D. only knows that it can be used to create energy weapons.
Apart from that, they are clueless. Even though this method is based on what Hydra used before, S.H.I.E.L.D. still hasn't figured it out yet. Only with the addition of the Doctor Banner to the team did they start to have some thoughts recently.
Hearing Temari's refusal, Kabuto felt somewhat helpless. It seemed there was no sincerity at all.
"Since the Sand Village has no intention of selling it, that is indeed very regrettable."
Even though he didn't get what he wanted from the Sand Village, Kabuto still used the same method as he did with Konoha, exchanging information about himself in the ninja world and how he came to Earth for the qualification to purchase ninja tools.
He also informed them that he had already informed the ninja of Konoha an hour ago.
Kabuto was conveying a message to S.H.I.E.L.D., indicating that his purpose in doing so was not to put all his eggs in one basket and that the channels should not be limited to just Konoha.
Otherwise, if the Charles Agency had other ideas later on, he would have nowhere to buy ninja tools on Earth.
Once Kabuto had negotiated everything and the price of the ninja tools was consistent with that of Konoha, he was about to take his leave.
Seeing Kabuto about to leave, Temari spoke up, "Be careful with S.H.I.E.L.D. Don't take them too seriously. They were preparing to send our Sand Village ninjas to the Fire Country to investigate your background and information not long ago."
"If you feel uncomfortable there, you can come to Sand Puppet Shop and find me."
Even as he was leaving, Temari didn't forget to give Kabuto some advice, although these were all strategies discussed in secret between the two.
Hearing Temari's words, Kabuto, who was preparing to leave with his box, paused for a moment before waving his hand, "Thank you for the reminder, but until they do something that offends me, I won't leave."
This sentence was transmitted to Nick Fury and Coulson through the listening device inside the briefcase.
It was also telling the two that if S.H.I.E.L.D. really had any dangerous intentions towards him, he would leave as well.
With only ten energy blocks left, Kabuto left the Sand Puppet Shop, got in his car, and headed towards the direction of the residence of the Sound Ninja Village, Staten Island, which was a suburb of New York, not in the main city area.
As Kabuto headed towards his final destination for the day, Nick Fury and Coulson remained silent about the words he spoke before leaving.
After a few seconds, Coulson broke the silence in the office, "Director, why do you think the Sand Village is putting so much effort into wooing a weak wandering ninja?"
"They even went as far as to provoke Kabuto's relationship with our S.H.I.E.L.D., which doesn't fit the behavior of a major ninja village. It's very unreasonable."
"If they lack manpower, given the size of the Sand Village in the Wind Country, they could simply send someone over..."
"...Or is it because there are secrets on Kabuto that the major ninja villages need, but if there really are such secrets, given the strength of the other side, they could just capture Kabuto directly and be done with it."
"After all, in terms of Kabuto's strength, there's no risk at all for those few at the Sand Puppet Shop."
"But in the previous communication, Temari from the Sand Village didn't even know about Kabuto, the wandering ninja. This is very unreasonable."
Listening to Coulson's analysis, Nick Fury closed his eyes in thought for a few seconds before opening them and saying, "Perhaps coming from the ninja world to Earth carries a high cost."
"It's not as easy as we imagine to simply send someone here. Especially considering that both ninja villages are obviously interested in where Kabuto triggered the teleportation array."
"If the cost of sending someone over is high, discovering a free low-level ninja like Kabuto, especially with only four ninjas in the Sand Village at the moment, still warrants recruitment."
"Perhaps in the ninja world, Kabuto, as a wandering ninja, lacks value for recruitment, but on Earth, his strength is not insignificant. Having one more person can make a big difference."
Listening to the Director's words, Coulson also agreed, "Director, your analysis makes sense. There might really be such a possibility."
"And recruiting Kabuto, just like our attempts to recruit him, wouldn't be a big deal for the Sand Village."
At this point, Nick Fury spoke again, "Kabuto's visit to each place is beneficial for us. If the cost of ninjas descending is high, then they wouldn't be able to enter Earth on a large scale."
"This is somewhat similar to their current situation. Except for Konoha, there aren't many personnel coming from the Sand and Sound Villages."
"This way, their threat is relatively reduced. Besides, what exactly is a Sand Village Puppeteer?"
"Could it be a profession distinct from ninjas?"
Hearing the Director's question, Coulson thought for a moment about the voice that appeared in the listening device before answering, "Based on their voice, if I'm not mistaken, the person speaking is Temari's younger brother, Kankuro."
"A puppeteer should be someone who controls puppets. And the fact that the Sand Village's shop is called the Puppet Shop should have a significant connection to this."
"But from the puppet dolls we obtained from the Sand Village, we haven't found any attacking capabilities."
"The only way to confirm Kankuro's actual situation, aside from themselves, would be Tony Stark."
"But when Tony is with Kankuro, he always blocks all surveillance cameras, even satellites. So, even though we detected multiple chakra warning fluctuations near his villa, we still couldn't obtain specific information."
"Director, Tony Stark is a consultant for S.H.I.E.L.D. I think you should be able to get some information from him. He's not friendly towards us agents."
Hearing Coulson's words, Nick Fury nodded. Indeed, they had already discovered that Kankuro, the Sand Village ninja, often appeared at Tony's villa, and occasionally Tony would also visit the Sand Puppet Shop.
"I'll talk to Tony. I believe when he learns that S.H.I.E.L.D. has a ninja of their own, he should be very interested."
Hearing that Director Nick Fury was preparing to intervene personally, Coulson could only sigh inwardly, hoping for success.
