Coulson glanced meaningfully at Selene, then spoke with a serious tone, "Can we contact Mr. Charles now?"
"This intelligence is crucial for us, and we've lost 22 outstanding S.H.I.E.L.D. agents because of it. Moreover, this ninja is conducting a genocidal massacre in Africa."
"I believe this time, it's definitely not a misunderstanding."
Seeing Coulson becoming serious, Selene, however, responded in an unchanged manner, "You can choose to commission intelligence. After writing down the task, I will report it to Lord Charles. Once we have results, our people will contact you."
Seeing this formulaic response, Coulson sighed and left a suitcase containing 150 energy blocks. Then he spoke, "This is the reward for the intelligence commission just now. Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Selene."
After saying that, Coulson picked up his belongings and bid farewell.
Since he couldn't get the answer he wanted here for the time being, Coulson was ready to go elsewhere. After all, there were other places with similar intelligence consultation.
His destination is the Sunagakure Puppet Shop.
Selene accepted the energy blocks left by Coulson and smiled, saying, "Thank you for your patronage. If you don't manage to obtain the desired answers, you can come back for intelligence consultation."
Coulson left Charles Agency, boarded a S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicle, and immediately instructed, "Go to the Sunagakure Puppet Shop."
Back in the shop, Selene, carrying a box of energy blocks, returned to the service desk.
Michael saw Selene coming back and immediately asked, "Is the intelligence commission completed?"
"It's done. These are the things Lord Charles needs."
Selene picked up the phone on the service desk and directly called Ginny.
"Secretary Ginny, it's me Selene from the Agency."
"Selene, is there any special commissioned task from the office?"
"Just now, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Coulson, has come and completed a simple intelligence commission, leaving 150 energy blocks as a reward."
"These energy blocks need to be collected by you and brought back to Lord Charles."
Hearing that they were energy blocks, Ginny nodded on the other end.
"All right, I will send someone to collect them."
"What kind of task does S.H.I.E.L.D. have again, actually using 150 energy blocks as a deposit."
"Secretary Ginny, it's not a deposit. Coulson inquired about three pieces of information related to werewolves just now, and I directly informed him."
"Also, you ordered to investigate the information about the attackers on Moses. I have already learned that those people are S.H.I.E.L.D. agents."
"They were ordered to protect Jane, but they clashed with Moses and his group. Coulson says it's a misunderstanding."
"In addition, Coulson inquired about an unknown ninja, but I haven't seen this ninja, so I couldn't provide him with any information."
"Coulson, upon realizing I couldn't immediately give him an answer, directly said goodbye and left."
Hearing that the people who attacked Moses were actually S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Ginny's face became unpleasant.
She had boasted earlier about uprooting the organization that attacked them. Now it seemed that the situation was much more complicated than she initially thought.
With the complete destruction now impossible, Ginny couldn't fulfill her promise.
Nevertheless, she had no intention of letting the S.H.I.E.L.D. people off the hook. After all, those who attacked her subordinates with heavy weapons couldn't expect to go without consequences.
"Alright, I understand."
"They left here and should be going to the Sunagakure Puppet Shop for intelligence consultation."
"I will send a ninja to collect the energy blocks. Thank you for managing the Agency during this time."
After reporting everything on this side to Ginny, Selene hung up the phone.
…
In the base-
Ginny looked towards the sealed building in the distance, contemplating whether to wait for Charles to wake up before seeking justice or to do it now.
After some thought, Ginny made up her mind. Revenge is a dish best served cold. She wasn't a noble person; she was ready to act now.
...
Coulson, after leaving Charles Agency, quickly arrived at the Sunagakure Puppet Shop. Entering the shop, he walked straight to the service desk and straightforwardly said to Temari:
"Give me a puppet doll. I have some questions to ask."
Temari, seeing Coulson in a dusty state, smiled and said, "No problem."
At the same time, she pointed to a sofa nearby, "Same place as before?"
Coulson didn't stand on ceremony, walked to the sofa, and sat down.
Temari, holding a puppet doll in her left hand and a one-minute hourglass in her right, walked over.
She turned the hourglass over and placed it on the table.
"The time has started. Go ahead and ask your questions."
Seeing the hourglass start, Coulson didn't hesitate. He immediately took out his tablet from the briefcase, opened the pictures of Hidan, and showed them to Temari.
"Which ninja village does this ninja belong to?"
"What does the scar on the headband signify?"
"What kind of strength does he possess?"
"Is he protected by any group of ninjas?"
"And what does his behavior represent, and how can we stop it?"
Coulson rapidly asked five questions. Temari, taking a look at the tablet with pictures of Hidan, including his headband, the scenes of the sacrifice, and the circular seal left after the sacrifice, furrowed her brows.
She didn't recognize the person in the photos or have information about this ninja. Furthermore, she hadn't seen this ninja by Charles's side.
She thought to herself, could this be another ninja brought from the ninja world by Charles during this time?
How could this ninja, coming from a small village like Hidden Steam, also appear in an unfamiliar place, just like me?
After a moment of contemplation, Temari spoke:
"This is a ninja from Hidden Steam Village, but now he should have no connection with Hidden Steam Village."
Hearing that it was another unfamiliar ninja village, Coulson thought to himself that the different marks on the headbands represented different ninja villages.
"Why do you say he is from Hidden Steam Village, but now has no connection with it?"
Temari opened the picture of Hidan's headband and pointed to the scar on the headband, saying:
"He is now a rogue ninja."
"When a ninja betrays their village, they will leave a mark on their headband to show they are a rogue ninja. From then on, they have no relationship with their village."
"A rogue ninja?"
"Yes, a ninja who betrays their village becomes a rogue ninja."
