"What happened to your bloodline?"
"Your strength has improved significantly this time, now you are even capable of defeating me in taijutsu alone."
Charles looked at Tsunade, who was full of curiosity, and smiled. He pulled a chair from the side, sat beside Tsunade's bed, and then spoke, "Do you understand your own bloodline?"
Tsunade thought for a moment, then replied, "I am from the Senju clan, and my bloodline is the Senju bloodline. What's the problem?"
"Do you know the origin of the Senju bloodline?"
Tsunade hesitated for a moment and then said, "The Senju bloodline is the Senju bloodline. Where else could it come from?"
Charles shook his head and continued, "The Senju bloodline originates from the Sage of Six Paths, not just the Senju; the Uchiha also descend from the Sage of Six Paths."
"How is that possible? The Senju and Uchiha are enemies. How could they have a bloodline connection? And does the Sage of Six Paths really exist?"
Seeing Tsunade's disbelief, Charles began to tell Tsunade about the Sage of Six Paths and his two sons, Indra and Asura.

On the other side-
With more than half of the personnel lost, Barton didn't stay long at the military base. He took the remaining personnel, loaded all the equipment and supplies onto the Airbus, and flew back to New York.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, the Triskelion Tower-
At this moment, Nick Fury's heart was bleeding.
They lost, and they lost badly.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s elite field operatives suffered a loss of more than a hundred people this time, twice the total losses from the previous two times.
Looking at Barton's report, Nick Fury, who hadn't expected such a severe defeat, felt the pain of the loss.
Not only did they fail to cause any harm to the opponent, but they didn't even obtain a single drop of blood sample.
Defeated by a rogue ninja from a small village, with such immense strength, Fury couldn't help but wonder how terrifying the strength of the ninja from the major villages could be.
Is it possible that only the supernatural forces can counter the other supernatural?
Nick Fury stood up and paced in his office, contemplating how to deal with Hidan.
Without considering external forces, how could S.H.I.E.L.D. capture or even kill Hidan?
Even if capturing or killing Hidan was impossible, how could they obtain something, anything, from him? Even just a piece of his body for research would suffice.
Nick Fury stood alone by the floor-to-ceiling window, contemplating.
However, based on Barton's mission report and some videos, Fury reluctantly concluded that with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s current strength and technology, they might not be able to harm Hidan unless they washed Ethiopia off the map with nuclear bombs.
And not just any nuclear bomb; it had to be a massive, repeated, and widespread bombardment to have any chance of eliminating this rogue ninja.
In the face of Hidan's incredible speed, a single nuclear bomb might not hit its target if detected in advance by Hidan.
Even launching multiple nuclear bombs might not be of much help, as Hidan might be able to escape the blast radius with his speed.
Nick Fury found himself with no immediate solution for dealing with Hidan.
It seems that they would need to speed up the research of the tesseract.
He touched the pager in his pocket.
Should he seek help from Captain Marvel for dealing with Hidan? But Captain Marvel was his friend, not a subordinate.
Would Captain Marvel even help him against Hidan and the entire ninja system, including Charles, the Hidden Sand Village, the Five Great Ninja Villages, and the entire ninja world?
In the end, Nick Fury reluctantly put away the pager. It wasn't the right time yet.
…
Inside Charles's base-
Charles finished explaining the relationship between the Senju and Uchiha bloodlines, as well as the stories of Asura and Indra. Tsunade looked at Charles, who was shamelessly lying on her bed, and said from the side:
"Charles, doesn't this mean that if I undergo bloodline transformation, I can become as powerful as our ancestors?"
Charles glanced at Tsunade and then spoke, "In theory, it's possible, but it's challenging in actual practice."
To make Tsunade powerful, besides completing her ninja cards collection and upgrading them, there was also the option of consuming the Chakra fruit and directly becoming a Six Paths-level powerhouse.
At that point, Tsunade Senju would transform into Tsunade Otsutsuki.
However, this wasn't easy and might take a long time, especially considering that Charles himself had not yet become the Otsutsuki Charles.
As the two continued their chat, there was a knock on the door.
It was to inform them that the dinner was about to start. It seems that the two had been chatting in the room all afternoon.
This time, the dinner gathering included not only the agency members Selene and Michael, who had returned, but also the other werewolves. Even Orochimaru, who rarely left the laboratory, came out upon hearing that Charles Doyle had awakened.
Looking at his numerous subordinates, Charles felt genuinely happy. During the dinner, Charles briefly conversed with Balthazar and David.
After confirming that everything was fine here, Balthazar and David decided to return to the magical world, requesting Charles to send a wooden clone to accompany them.
After a pleasant dinner that strengthened the bonds between everyone, Charles returned to his temporary residence in the base.
Entering the room, after a brief wash, Charles lay on the bed and once again entered the system space.
In the system space, Charles immediately opened the ninja panel. He wanted to continue the task he hadn't completed before falling into a coma – recruiting more ninjas.
Opening the ninja panel, Charles saw that Kimimaro and Jirobo and other sound ninjas had been successfully recruited, but their avatars had not yet appeared in the battle slot.
His attention shifted to the two other ninjas who hadn't been recruited.
This time, Aburame Shino's icon had lit up, indicating that he was available for recruitment:
C-rank ninja Karin, ninja fragments 11/10, recruit.
Charles clicked on recruit, and a moment later, a new image appeared before him.
Shino, wearing a Konoha forehead protector, donning a black cloak that covered most of his face, leaving only a small portion visible. He held a menacing posture, swinging a bunch of bugs in each hand, as if preparing for an attack.
Congratulations, Charles Doyle for successfully recruiting C-rank ninja Aburame Shino!
