Temari hadn't walked for long when several cars approached from a distance, blocking her path. Soon, more than ten people got out of the cars, each armed with weapons, and they opened fire on Temari.
"Dah, dah, dah!"
Facing the incoming bullets, Temari opened her Seven Star Fan. In an instant, a tornado generated by the fan swept back all the bullets. Moreover, it lifted the people and the cars in front of her into the air, causing them all to die as they fell.
After clearing this wave of enemies, Temari continued to advance towards the city.
...
After Nick Fury watched the second video and saw the forehead protector different from the Leaf Village emblem on the girl's neck, he immediately spoke, "What does this emblem mean again?"
"If I remember correctly, the last emblem represented the Hidden Leaf Village. Could there be a second Hidden Village?"
"And her ability to create a tornado with that giant fan—is it an inherent ability, or does the fan possess that ability?"
In response to the director's questions, Coulson voiced his speculation, "This girl is obviously a ninja similar to Charles.
Although her attire is different, the same style of forehead protector and the extraordinary abilities not typical of ordinary people can't be faked."
"I speculate that she is also a ninja, but with a different emblem on her forehead protector. I suspect they are not part of the same organization or from the same place."
"Since there is the Hidden Leaf Village, why couldn't there be other Hidden Villages? Besides, she did not directly appear at Charles's agency, unlike the previous ninja."
"Of course, this is just my speculation. The specific situation needs to be verified."
Looking at the appearance of another ninja, rubbing his brow, Nick Fury said, "Find her, try to make contact. We need more channels."
"Approach with goodwill. Don't provoke her."
"Understood, Director!"
Having said that, Coulson left Nick Fury's office to meet this new ninja.

On the other side-
At this moment, Charles's consciousness entered the system space.
The night view of Konoha instantly lit up with dazzling fireworks.
Congratulations, Charles Doyle, on reaching VIP level 6!
Then, a ninja image appeared in front of him, a C-rank ninja, Neji Hyuga.
Would you like to recruit C-rank ninja Neji Hyuga for free?
Without any hesitation, Charles chose to recruit.
Ding! Successfully recruited C-rank ninja, Neji Hyuga.
Ding! Successfully possessing more than ten ninjas, achieving the Ninja Recruitment Achievement, reward: one additional battle slot!
Seeing these consecutive surprises, a smile appeared on Charles's face.
This saved him another 10,000 gold coins, and he no longer needed to worry about Neji Hyuga's battle slot.
Opening the ninja details, Charles first confirmed the ninja skills.
Neji Hyuga: C-rank ninja
Basic Attack: Gentle Fist
Skills: Eight Trigrams: Palm Rotation, Air Palm Strike, Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.
Eight Trigrams - Palm Rotation: By rapidly rotating oneself, release a large amount of chakra from the body's meridians, wrapping oneself in it. Enemies around will be attacked by chakra. (Note: During the release of Palm Rotation, the user is in an invincible absolute defense state.)
Air Palm Strike: Launch a rapid assault forward. If it hits an enemy, the enemy will be thrown into the air.
Gentle Fist Art- Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms: While standing in place, place the enemy within the Eight Trigrams, attacking all sixty-four acupuncture points to seal the opponent's chakra release. It is an attack technique that causes damage to the opponent's meridians.
Watching Neji's complete set of Gentle Fist techniques, Charles was quite satisfied. Now, in addition to Steel Fist, he had also gained Gentle Fist.
This provided a significant supplement to his own abilities. More importantly, he acquired a reconnaissance ninja, and the Byakugan, which possessed abilities such as penetration and detection.
Most importantly, the Byakugan could evolve into the Tenseigan, just like the Sharingan. This is an eye capable of shattering the moon.
At the same time, Sasuke already has his teammate Naruto, and Rock Lee would now have his teammate, Neji.
The Konoha 12 now had more and more members: Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee, and all those recruited. Only Sakura Haruno, Tenten, Ino Yamanaka, Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, Choji Akimichi, and Ino-Shika-Cho were left for Charles to gather.
Moreover, Hinata's fragments were almost collected, and her appearance wasn't far off.
With the recruitment of ninjas, a massive amount of chakra gathered in Charles Doyle's body, increasing his chakra capacity once again.
The quantity of a standard C-rank ninja had caused Charles's already vast chakra to expand even further.
Simultaneously, the information about Hyuga's Gentle Fist techniques and Neji's several skills were all transmitted to Charles's consciousness.
Charles now could switch between the Sharingan and the Byakugan.
For Charles, this result was very satisfying. In the end, he could use the Byakugan, Sharingan, Rinnegan, and Mangekyo Sharingan. When the time came, his eyes would be invincible.
Opening the battle column, Charles didn't hesitate and directly placed Neji Hyuga's ninja card into the newly rewarded battle slot from the system.
Ding! Do you want to manifest Neji Hyuga within a three-meter range of Charles Doyle?
Yes!
With Charles's confirmation, Neji Hyuga's figure slowly appeared in the corridor of the room.
At this moment, the manifested Neji Hyuga slowly opened his eyes, looking at Charles in front of him, then spoke, "Lord Charles, did you summon me to complete a mission?"
At this moment, Neji had just completed the Chunin Exam and experienced Orochimaru's and the Sand Ninjas' attacks. The days in Konoha were just beginning to return to calm.
Looking at Hyuga Neji in front of him, Charles smiled and said, "There's currently nothing else. Little Lee and the others are also here. Let me take you to see them!"
After saying that, Charles opened the door and led Hyuga Neji out.
...
On the other side-
Bruce Banner, after evading pursuit by the military, arrived at Culver University in Virginia.
Looking at everything in the academy, Banner not only recalled the bits and pieces of his life here but also remembered his lover.
While Banner reminisced about the past, suddenly, he saw his lover sitting on a bench near the college lawn.
