S.H.I.E.L.D. Triskelion Tower-
As soon as Coulson left with the energy blocks, Hawkeye Barton arrived back on the Bus.
Returning to the S.H.I.E.L.D., Barton brought the mission report he had prepared on the plane and rushed to Nick Fury's office.
Seeing Barton entering, Nick Fury was somewhat surprised.
"Have you found out the results?"
Barton's face was somewhat dark, and his voice was low, "Director, the investigation is complete, and the situation is not optimistic."
"This matter is related to ninjas, and here's the mission report."
Looking at the mission report Barton placed on the table, Nick Fury's eyebrows furrowed.
It was related to ninjas again.
Recently, everything seemed to be related to ninjas. Charles and others were indeed not stable factors.
Nick Fury opened the file bag and asked while opening, "Is it related to Charles Doyle's ninjas again?"
However, Barton shook his head. "It shouldn't be. The emblem he wore is different from that of Leaf Hidden Village and Sand Hidden Village."
"A newly emerged ninja village?"
Nick Fury became quite interested. He flipped through Barton's mission report carefully, reading it line by line.
However, the more he read, the worse Nick Fury's face became. In the end, he even slammed his fist on the table.
"Bang!"
Nick Fury's strength was not small, and the fist hitting the table produced a loud sound. Then he angrily cursed:
"These ninjas are simply too much!"
In the mission report, he paid particular attention to Barton's losses this time. S.H.I.E.L.D. lost 22 agents.
All of this was caused by a stranger ninja named Hidan.
The mission report included Hidan's photo and a close-up of the emblem on his neck. These photos were taken by the surveillance cameras on the convoy.
The report also emphasized that Hidan, this unknown ninja, caused evil sacrifices in Africa and specifically targeted the people there.
For Nick Fury's anger, Barton also understood and nodded in agreement. "They don't recognize secular laws; they are unstable factors."
"Whether it's this new ninja Hidan or Charles Doyle, they harbor great malice toward common people."
"Charles Doyle also used to be a killer."
"As for this newly emerged ninja, he is also a mass murderer."
Even though Charles also kills people, as long as the people didn't provoke him, he wouldn't harm them for no reason.
But now there was an even more despicable existence, Hidan, who came out, conducting massacres, and especially targeting people of Africa.
Nick Fury looked at Barton, and the anger on his face was completely hidden, becoming extremely calm. He pointed at the close-up photo of the emblem and asked, "Do you know the meaning of the cross-shaped scar on the emblem?"
"Is it a scar left from battles?" Barton replied, recalling what Hidan had said to him before leaving, "If you encounter a ninja with a scar on the emblem, run as far as you can."
"Sir, I don't know what it means, but based on what he said when leaving," Barton continued, "this scar shouldn't be a trace left after a battle. Instead, it might be a special mark."
"After all, if the emblem is damaged, it can be replaced. Unless this scar represents a special meaning."
Hearing Barton's words, Nick Fury nodded. This analysis made sense.
"Give me an electronic file of the documents. Coulson is currently consulting intelligence at Charles Agency. Send him this intelligence for consultation, the situation of this emblem, and the identity of this Hidan."
"Understood, Director!"
...
On the other side, inside the meeting room of Charles Agency -
Hearing the voice of the director in his earpiece, Coulson looked at Selene with an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry, there's an emergency on my end that needs my attention."
Selene, with a professional smile, said, "Please, go ahead!"
Coulson took out his tablet from his briefcase, logged into the S.H.I.E.L.D. account, and opened the contents of the email.
The email contained several pictures: the African village where the sacrifice occurred, the seal pattern used for the sacrifice, and several close-up photos of Hidan, including full-body shots and an enlarged image of the emblem on his neck.
The report briefly described what happened in Africa and the experience of Barton and others.
Seeing that 22 S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had sacrificed themselves again, a sorrowful expression appeared on Coulson's face. In just a few days, the number of casualties among S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had reached 50. This sacrifice was undoubtedly enormous.
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were the elite of the elite, especially those capable of going on field missions. They were outstanding in various special forces.
However, in this short period, a large number of casualties had occurred. It was difficult for Coulson not to feel sad.
As for the task Nick Fury gave him, Coulson also saw it at the end of the file.
Coulson pulled up the pictures related to Hidan separately and saved them.
Opening the saved images in the album, Coulson handed the tablet to Selene.
"Miss Selene, I have a few more pieces of intelligence to inquire about."
Selene took the tablet from Coulson's hand and looked at the several pictures on it. Although she didn't recognize the man in the photos, she did see the emblem on his neck, realizing he was a ninja.
However, Selene didn't give Coulson a chance to speak. She directly said, "I'm not familiar with ninja matters at the moment."
"At present, there are no ninjas permanently stationed in the Agency."
"If you want to inquire about ninja-related intelligence, you can sign a task commission first. After I report it to Lord Charles, I can provide you an answer once there are results."
Hearing Selene's words, Coulson's thoughts were quickly rotating in his mind. She knew about the werewolves, but she didn't know about the ninjas. Could it be that this Selene is a werewolf?
