Kabuto continued to browse through the remaining intelligence. It detailed Charles Doyle's upbringing after being adopted at a young age, his rise to become an elder, his recruitment of Gaara, and his two-time rescue of Iron Man Tony Stark, among various other achievements including the suspected slaying of Abomination.
Towards the end, it was noted: "It is speculated that Charles Doyle is either a strong figure or a descendant of high-ranking officials from Konohagakure in the ninja world."
"He got lost on Earth at a young age and was found by Konohagakure ninja Iruka Umino at the age of eighteen."
Seeing this sentence, Kabuto couldn't help but scoff inwardly.
If only Lord Charles was truly a ninja from Konohagakure, with his abilities, he would undoubtedly bring about significant changes to the ninja world, preventing many tragic events.
Kabuto then looked up the location of Charles agency, which was at 71 Forrest Hills Avenue, Queens.
After finishing the intelligence on Konohagakure, Kabuto then opened the file of Sunagakure, only to find the intelligence flimsy, with only four ninja listed.
Even the information on the deceased Pakura, who had long been dead in the ninja world, was less than what he knew.
The only thing that surprised him was that while Charles had recruited many Konohagakure ninjas, there were only a few from Sunagakure. It was beyond his expectations.
Could it be that Charles placed more importance on Konohagakure ninjas?
With this thought in mind, Kabuto opened the file of Otogakure and found it to be more detailed than that of Sunagakure.
Seeing the familiar faces from Otogakure, Kabuto sighed inwardly. It seemed that Lord Charles had brought quite a few of his close associates.
There were even more of them than from Sunagakure. If he included himself, they would total six. He wondered when Orochimaru would leave Konohagakure to join either the Akatsuki or Otogakure.
Soon, Kabuto had gone through all the personnel files and had a clear understanding of the intelligence SHIELD had on the ninjas.
It could be said that SHIELD's intelligence did not exceed Charles's expectations.
Placing the tablet on the table, Kabuto spoke, "I've reviewed all the intelligence, but the only regret is that I hardly know any of the individuals mentioned."
Upon hearing Kabuto's words, Coulson wasn't surprised at all. If he were to supplement the intelligence on every ninja, he would start to doubt his true identities.
It was normal for citizens of a country to know the president's name, but if they could recite the identity and deeds of every official, they would no longer be ordinary citizens. They would undoubtedly have other hidden identities.
"You've just arrived in New York and aren't familiar with the city yet. I'll arrange for an agent to drive you to the bases of the three ninja villages later."
"Do you know which village you want to visit first?"
Kabuto looked at Coulson with a smile and said, "Then I'll trouble Agent Coulson."
"As for which village to visit first, since I'm from the Land of Fire, let's start with Charles agency."
"Alright, I'll arrange it," Coulson replied.
"Get ready, I'll have the personnel come up," Coulson tapped on his Bluetooth earpiece and then continued without waiting. Soon, an agent arrived at Kabuto's door, waiting outside.
Seeing the agent, Kabuto put down the tablet and walked over to where the suitcase was placed.
He selected a box and opened it; it was the box Coulson had given him with ninja gear. Kabuto took out the headband with the SHIELD logo and tied it around his forehead.
After completing this, Kabuto turned to look at Coulson.
"Coulson, I'm now an organized ninja as well. Do I look cool with the headband?" Seeing Kabuto's action, Coulson was momentarily surprised, but his smile widened.
"Cool. The headband suits you very well," he replied.
Kabuto then picked up a box containing energy stones and said, "I'm ready!"
Coulson, understanding that Kabuto intended to use the energy stones for trading, nodded and walked out of the room together with Kabuto.
As they stepped out of the room, Kabuto saw the SHIELD agent standing at the door.
"He will drive you to the bases of the three ninja villages," he said to Kabuto.
Hearing this, Kabuto smiled politely at the agent and said, "Thank you for your help."
However, the agent only nodded coldly and didn't say much.
Coulson watched Kabuto's courteous behavior and felt quite satisfied. Despite being an extraordinary ninja, Kabuto didn't look down on those weaker than him; instead, he displayed courtesy everywhere.
If this behavior wasn't an act, but rather his true character, it would be good news for SHIELD.
But whether this character was genuine or not would have to be judged over time.
Soon, Kabuto followed the SHIELD agent to the garage, leaving the Triskelion building of SHIELD. Meanwhile, Coulson forwarded the intelligence on the Sannin to the director and updated the ninja database.
...
Sitting in the SHIELD car, Kabuto looked out of the window at the scenery passing by—cars zooming down the highway, towering skyscrapers in the city, and people bustling on the streets.
Observing everything, Kabuto couldn't help but reflect on the vast differences between the two worlds. While individuals in the ninja world possessed formidable power, the development of economy and society lagged far behind compared to here.
Even the Land of Fire, the most economically advanced country in the ninja world, paled in comparison to here, especially in terms of living standards.
However, Kabuto didn't envy any of this. The people here were too weak, to the extent that a student from a ninja academy wielding a kunai could easily slaughter a group of them.
Yet, he had to admit the abundance of resources in this country.
After watching the scenery outside the window for a while, Kabuto closed his eyes and rested.
About an hour later, the car stopped, and they had arrived at the doorstep of Charles agency.
The agent driving reminded him, "We've reached our destination."
Kabuto opened his eyes, glanced at the street outside, and then said, "Sorry, I didn't get enough rest last night, so I dozed off in the car just now."
"No problem, I just wanted to remind you that we've arrived at the first stop. I'll park the car across the street, and you can come up directly after getting out," the agent replied.
Kabuto spoke gently, "Thank you for your understanding."
