As Temari entered, he noticed Iruka sitting behind the service desk, especially with his distinctive chuunin attire.
Approaching the desk directly, Temari and Iruka locked eyes. After a brief silence, Iruka took the initiative to speak, "I am Iruka Umino. Lord Charles is currently not here, but I'll assist you with the check-in process."
"Later, someone will provide you with identity information and introduce you to some common knowledge of this world."
Temari looked at the man in front of him, extended a hand, and said with a smile, "I am Temari. Could you please tell me if there are any other ninjas from the Hidden Sand Village besides me?"
After shaking hands with Temari, Iruka continued, "Currently, you are the first ninja from an outside village besides Konoha."
Following this, Iruka summoned a waiter who took Temari to an empty guest room, serving as Temari's temporary accommodation.
…
On the other side-
Triskelion Tower-
After bringing Temari to Charles Agency, Coulson returned and knocked on Nick Fury's office door. As he entered, Nick Fury handed him a tablet containing the latest information.
"Director, any instructions?" Coulson asked.
Nick Fury looked up and then said, "Take a look at the latest data first."
Upon hearing the director's words, Coulson took the tablet, opened the video footage showing Charles's battle against Abomination, along with some analysis reports.
Observing the information on the tablet, Coulson expressed disbelief, "His strength has reached such a level..."
Nick Fury nodded, remaining silent. Soon, Coulson finished reviewing all the data and placed the tablet down.
"After watching, any thoughts?" Nick Fury inquired.
After a moment of contemplation, Coulson spoke, "The military's experiments are highly uncontrollable. While they've created powerful monsters, their methods are excessively brutal, filled with destructive desires, much like the Red Skull from years ago."
"No, they might be even worse than the Red Skull. At least the Red Skull had some self-control, but the green giant lacks any form of rationality."
"As for the strength of Charles Doyle, Tsunade, and others, they are more terrifying than the monsters created by the military."
"Especially since they reside in the city, particularly a metropolis like New York. Once they engage in destruction, there's no one to stop them. We can't possibly launch large-scale missiles or even nuclear bombs into the city. Regular missiles or RPGs won't even harm them a bit."
"Most importantly, Charles has the Hidden Leaf Village behind him, and there's no telling how many extraordinary individuals like him they have."
"Even now, we don't know how Charles's strength is classified within their internal ranking."
Hearing Coulson's words, Nick Fury rubbed his temples. If these people were to harbor evil intentions, the resulting destruction would be immense.
After a moment of contemplation, Nick Fury spoke, "What intelligence have you gathered from the ninja you contacted?"
Upon hearing the director's inquiry about Temari, Coulson quickly reported, "Temari is a ninja from the Hidden Sand Village. Her age is around 13, a Genin."
"From the gathered intelligence, it appears that the ninja world not only has Konoha but also the Hidden Sand Village, and there might be other hidden villages as well."
"Moreover, ninjas tend to cultivate their own pets. Charles has a ninja dog, and Temari has a weasel carrying a scythe. I suspect they possess considerable combat strength; otherwise, they wouldn't carry them around or be bestowed with the ninja headbands."
"Regarding Tsunade's identity, there shouldn't be any issues. In Temari's eyes, Tsunade is a powerful and renowned ninja."
"However, I haven't been able to find out Temari's purpose for coming here, or why a ninja from the Hidden Sand Village would seek Charles Doyle of Konoha."
"But we can try to recruit her and gather some intelligence from her. Perhaps the Hidden Sand Village is also considering supporting an agent. Of course, these are just my speculations."
Looking at the gathered intelligence, Nick Fury nodded in satisfaction and then said, "Dig out the purpose of the Hidden Sand Village coming here as much as possible."
"Since they're divided into two ninja villages, there must be competition between them. It also provides us with two sources to gather intelligence."
"Once Temari leaves Charles Agency and establishes her own base or station, immediately make contact."
"Charles needs energy blocks, and I assume the Hidden Sand Village behind Temari also has requirements. I'll authorize some energy blocks for you to use in purchasing information from both sides."
"It's best if we can find out their location and the true purpose of their presence."
Upon hearing Nick Fury's instructions, Coulson responded with a solemn expression, "Understood, Director!"
"Good, now go check the data. Charles has gained two more ninjas on his side."
"Yes!"
Coulson then left the director's office.
At this moment, Nick Fury stood up, looked through the window at the rain-drenched city, and couldn't help but sigh: Ever since Captain Marvel left, superhumans, a phenomenon unseen for a long time on Earth, were emerging like mushrooms after rain.
…
On the other side-
Charles was sitting in the car, talking on the phone.
"No, everything's fine. Despite the extensive destruction, their strength isn't that remarkable. No one at the Agency was harmed."
"Okay, supervise the construction of the base. Deploy more manpower to speed up the progress. If needed, we'll invest more money to bring in additional workers."
After chatting for a few moments with Ginny, Charles hung up the phone. Many things were not suitable for communication over the phone, so they didn't delve into details.
Soon, Charles arrived back at his office. As he entered, Iruka from the service desk hurriedly reported, "Lord Charles, Temari from the Hidden Sand Village is here."
Hearing that Temari had returned, Charles thought to himself: She's quite fast; she managed to return so quickly.
"Ask her to come to the lounge area to see me."
"Yes, Lord Charles!"
Charles went to the lounge area and took a seat in a booth. He looked at the Dragon Ring on his hand, feeling curious.
Isn't this thing supposed to be worn only by the next Supreme Merlin? Could it be that I have the innate talent to become the Supreme Merlin?
Or could it be that Chakra can also serve as a magical power source? As Charles pondered, he realized that Ninjutsu and magic indeed had many similarities.
Just as Charles was contemplating the identity of the magician and the Supreme Merlin, Temari walked in carrying Kamatari.
