Chapter 601: The unruly Sound Village
Hearing the suggestion, everyone reacted.
"That's right, Tayuya."
"Let's ask Lord Charles, and we'll understand what's going on."
Nodding in agreement, Tayuya said, "Alright, I'll write a letter to Lord Charles right away."
Just then, the doorbell rang, and Jirobo stood up. "I'll go see who it is."
Jirobo checked the monitor and saw two people at the door: S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Coulson and a familiar face, Kabuto.
"It's Mr. Kabuto and Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D."
Hearing that Kabuto was among the visitors, the Sound Four immediately fell silent.
"Mr. Kabuto is here. Open the door quickly."
Soon, the door was opened, and Coulson and Kabuto walked in together.
Tayuya looked at them and asked, "Why has S.H.I.E.L.D. come here? What's the matter?"
Coulson glanced at the four injured individuals, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "We want to understand the reason behind the battle that took place on Isabella Street between you and the Mist Village. Your fight destroyed three streets and caused numerous casualties."
Sakon/Ukon scoffed, "Well, make sure to ask the Mizukage for compensation if you can."
Coulson was momentarily at a loss for words. If S.H.I.E.L.D. had the capability to deal with these ninjas, they wouldn't be in this situation. However, he responded, "Ninjas can be killed too. If we go all out, it's not impossible."
Sakon/Ukon looked at Coulson seriously and said, "I suggest you fire a tactical nuke at the Mizukage's location. I'd also like to know if a nuclear bomb can kill someone of her level."
Hearing the thinly veiled sarcasm, Coulson felt a surge of anger. These ninjas were too arrogant.
If they weren't in the city, S.H.I.E.L.D. might actually consider dropping a nuke to see if the ninjas could withstand it. This gave Coulson an idea; maybe they could try it sometime.
At this moment, Kabuto, who had been standing by, spoke up:
"Members of the Sound Village, we're not here to hold you accountable for the damage. After all, you're victims too."
"According to our intel, when the Mizukage arrived in this world, she didn't find a way back to the Mist Village. We were worried she might attack you to seize your teleportation array."
"We didn't expect that before we could inform you, the Mizukage had already attacked."
The room fell silent for a few seconds after Kabuto's words. Then Tayuya seemed to realize something and said, "Unfortunately, your warning came too late. Kimimaro has already been taken by the Mizukage."
Coulson asked, "Was the teleportation array taken by the Mizukage as well?"
Tayuya looked at Coulson, amused, thinking to herself that there was no such teleportation array. But she said, "The teleportation array isn't something that can fit in a ninja tool pouch. It's not something you can take away by just capturing a ninja."
Understanding the response, Coulson realized that they might have misunderstood the situation.
The teleportation array should still be under the control of the Sound Village.
"Members of the Sound Village, the Mizukage won't give up easily without obtaining the teleportation array. After all, the prolonged absence of a village leader will certainly cause many problems."
"If possible, S.H.I.E.L.D. hopes that you can discuss this matter peacefully."
Tayuya glanced at them and said coldly, "We'll handle this ourselves. There's no need for S.H.I.E.L.D. to worry."
"We have matters to deal with here, so we won't keep you."
Seeing that Tayuya was dismissing them, Coulson and Kabuto didn't linger and promptly left, returning to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Meanwhile-
After unwrapping his birthday gifts, Charles Doyle's consciousness entered the system space.
He was preparing to confirm the existence of the Eternals in this world, but before meeting them, he wanted to enhance his own strength.
Glancing at his current gold coin count of 69,075, he figured it would be enough to purchase Kushina Uzumaki and draw the younger Minato, both of whom were Kage-level ninjas.
He opened the recruitment interface for limited edition ninjas and, seeing that Kushina Uzumaki was the only one left unacquired, he proceeded to buy her.
Ding! Would you like to spend 16,800 gold coins to purchase B-class ninja Kushina Uzumaki?
Yes!
With Charles's confirmation, 16,800 gold coins were deducted, and he acquired Kushina Uzumaki.
Ding! Congratulations to Charles Doyle for successfully recruiting two-star B-class ninja Kushina Uzumaki.
The next second, an image appeared before Charles. Kushina Uzumaki stood there, her long red hair flying behind her like the tails of a tailed beast. She raised a fist, looking forward.
Looking at the Blood Red Habanero, Kushina Uzumaki, Charles was particularly interested in two things.
One was her pure Uzumaki clan bloodline. Although he had previously acquired Naruto Uzumaki's bloodline, it wasn't pure. This time, his bloodline power would be even stronger.
The other was Kushina Uzumaki's Uzumaki clan secret technique, the Adamantine Sealing Chains. This technique, which could attack, control, and seal, was something Charles was very fond of.
Knowing that Kushina could use it to suppress the full Nine-Tails, he could imagine its immense power.
He opened the ninja details to check the skills first.
Kushina Uzumaki: B-class ninja
Star level: Two stars
Basic attack: Divided into gentle and furious forms. In gentle form, she uses kitchen utensils to attack the opponent. In furious form, she attacks with violent taijutsu.
Substitution Jutsu: Wood Substitution
Skills: Gentle/Furious, Housewife Weapon/Adamantine Sealing Chains, Tyrant: Blood Red Habanero.
Gentle/Furious: Can switch between gentle or furious states.
Housewife Weapon/Adamantine Sealing Chains: In gentle state, she throws a flying spoon forward, then runs forward to follow up with a frying pan attack. In furious state, uses the Adamantine Sealing Chains to attack the enemy.
Tyrant: Blood Red Habanero: Generates multiple golden chains behind her and stab forward at the enemy, then rushes forward to knock down the enemy, pinning them to the ground and delivering six heavy punches.
Note: Each heavy punch is not weaker than Tsunade's punch. (don't underestimate the Uzumaki clan!)
After reviewing Kushina Uzumaki's ninjutsu, Charles's only regret was not having the ability to release a Tailed Beast or undergo Tailed Beast transformation. This disappointed him a bit, as he could have gotten a full Nine-Tails for free.
Considering Naruto had half of the Nine-Tails, Minato Namikaze had the other half, and he could buy another Nine-Tails, if Kushina Uzumaki could also release a full Nine-Tails, he would have a lot of Nine-Tails on his side.
Just imagine three Jinchuriki with the power of the Nine-Tails. It would be enough to overpower many enemies.
Charles wondered about Kushina Uzumaki's strength and whether she could beat a Kage-level opponent in her furious state.
After collecting Kushina Uzumaki, Charles didn't recruit any more ninjas. Instead, he went to the Ninja Direct Purchase Store. His target wasn't any other ninja but the Randomly Selected - Naruto Uzumaki.
It wasn't because this randomly selected Naruto Uzumaki was particularly powerful, but because Charles valued his ability to summon Gamabunta.
He opened the C-Class ninja section, found the Randomly Selected - Naruto Uzumaki, and seeing the price of 1,980 gold coins, Charles directly purchased him with his gold coins.
Ding! Congratulations to Charles Doyle for successfully recruiting one-star C-Class ninja, Randomly Selected - Naruto Uzumaki.
The next second, an image appeared before Charles. The Randomly Selected - Naruto Uzumaki was wearing a white shirt and holding a flag, happily waving it forward.
He opened the ninja details to check the skills first.
Randomly Selected - Naruto Uzumaki: C-Class ninja
Star level: One star
Basic attack: Taijutsu attacks combined with Shadow Clone Technique to use Windmill Shuriken to attack enemies!
Substitution Jutsu: Wood Substitution
Skills: Random Battle, Victory Banner, Transformation Technique: Nine-Tails.
Random Battle: As the most unexpected ninja in history, Naruto will use Tailed Beast Transformation or Seduction Jutsu to attack according to his mood. (The power of the Seduction Jutsu even overwhelmed the Third Hokage!)
Victory Banner: Naruto waves the Victory Banner for a three-stage attack, with the final blow planting the banner on the battlefield. (While the Victory Banner is on the battlefield, enemies cannot use summoning jutsu and genjutsu!)
Transformation Technique: Nine-Tails: Naruto uses the summoning technique to summon Gamabunta, then immediately activates a cooperative transformation technique to transform into the Nine-Tails and attack the enemy. (No matter who the opponent is, I won't lose!)
After reviewing Randomly Selected - Naruto Uzumaki's ninjutsu, Charles's only concern was the ability of the summoning Gamabunta.
After all, Gamabunta was a Kage-level combat unit and had the ability to rival the likes of Shukaku. It could be said that he was very powerful.
He clicked to claim the ninja.
After recruiting the ninja, Charles's chakra capacity increased by 1 card, reaching a total of 223 cards, and also boosted his Uzumaki bloodline once again.
After completing these two tasks, Charles still had 50,295 gold coins. Glancing at his ninja recruitment scrolls, he noticed he had 20 scrolls. Initially, he had 16, but he obtained 4 more through the system's daily check-in during the week.
With a plan in mind, Charles directly purchased 80 more ninja recruitment scrolls to make up a total of 100, spending 13,440 gold coins.
After completing all this, Charles didn't immediately recruit ninjas. Instead, he left the system space. He wanted to buff himself before recruiting any more ninjas.
In the real world, Charles began setting up his blessing ritual. First, he constructed a blessing Merlin's magic circle on the ground using mana.
Then, from his storage space, he took out a new element that Tony Stark had given him and placed it in the top-left corner of the magic circle.
Next, he placed an unused ice crystal in the top-right corner.
Following that, he positioned Merlin's staff and the Heart of the Earth in the bottom-left and bottom-right corners, respectively. In the middle, he lit a candle.
After arranging the ritual items, Charles began his prayer to his future self.
After completing everything, the feeling of blessings once again descended upon him. Charles immediately entered the system space.
...
Kamar-Taj-
The Ancient One looked at the magical energy that transcended time and space and imbued Charles Doyle with the essence of the future, shaking her head helplessly.
"This Supreme Merlin! If he can't harvest my and Merlin's powers, he'll turn to harvesting his future self. Doesn't he know that each gift comes with a price?"
"Does he really think that his future self is there to be harvested at will?"
...
Feeling blessed, Charles immediately entered the system space and went straight to the recruitment interface, initiating the ninja recruitment.
"Ninja recruitment, ten consecutive draws, go!"
A whirlpool symbolizing the Land of Whirlpools appeared before him, emitting a peculiar light. After a flash of brilliance, the recruitment results appeared before Charles Doyle.
Ding! Obtained S-rank ninja, Namikaze Minato fragment x1!
Ding! Obtained A-rank ninja, Young Namikaze Minato fragment x4!
Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Kin Tsuchi fragment x2!
Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Ino Yamanaka fragment x1!
Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Shizune fragment x1!
Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Sakura Haruno fragment x2!
Ding! Obtained B-rank ninja, Naruto Shippuden - Sakura Haruno fragment x1!
Ding! Obtained C-rank ninja, Tenten fragment x1!
Ding! Obtained S-rank ninja, Namikaze fragment x1!
Ding! Obtained B-rank ninja, Naruto Shippuden - Rock Lee fragment x4!
Charles glanced at the results and saw three icons shining with golden light. He knew that this recruitment was definitely a big success.
As expected, under his self-blessing, the results were incredibly satisfying. The guaranteed S-rank ninja Namikaze Minato fragments directly exploded to 6 fragments, while the A-rank Young Namikaze Minato also exploded to 4 fragments.
It can be said that under the results of blessing himself, this recruitment made Charles very satisfied. Indeed, the effect of shearing one's own wool was the best. He had never been disappointed.
