Nick Fury was initially surprised by this news, but quickly understood and uttered a word, "Pearl Harbor!"
Hearing the director mention Pearl Harbor, Phil Coulson sat back in his seat. If an island nation dared to air raid them in the past, then it was not impossible for the Sound Village to provoke the Leaf Village.
At this point, Kimimaro, who had remained silent, spoke in a cold voice, "We have already signed a peace agreement with Konoha. This is a thing of the past."
It was clear that Kimimaro's meaning was that this matter was already settled. As for the price paid by the Sound Village and the peace agreement with Konoha, it was not something a wandering ninja like Kabuto could know.
Kabuto's expression remained unchanged, "Signing a peace agreement is good. This way, I can trade with you without worries."
Tayuya interjected, "We are really curious about how a wandering ninja like you came to Earth."
"Since you've joined S.H.I.E.L.D., you must also be aware that this place is not the same as the world we come from."
Kabuto nodded in agreement, "I know that this isn't our original world but another unfamiliar planet. Although there are many similarities here compared to our world, such as language, there are still differences."
"As for how I came here and the location where the teleportation to Earth was triggered, I have already sold that information to Konoha and Suna. If your Sound Village is interested, I don't mind selling you a copy."
Tayuya directly asked, "What's the price?"
"Free of charge, but I need the Sound Village to become long-term partners with me. I can replenish the ninja tools you sell here. The price will be the same as the other two villages."
Hearing Kabuto's simple request, there was no refusal from the Sound Village. They agreed directly.
Kabuto then repeated the information he had already told Konoha and Suna to the Sound Village.
Upon hearing that the location was within the Land of Fire, the Sound Ninja Four relaxed a bit. They even dared to provoke Konoha and could sneak in again after the completion of Konoha Collapse Plan.
As such, sneaking in within the Land of Fire, there was absolutely no problem.
"We will relay the information back to the Sound Village, and the village will send someone to verify it."
"As long as you haven't deceived us, there will be no problem with the long-term ninja tool cooperation agreement."
Kabuto nodded, "I have no reason to deceive you. After all, I was teleported here from the sky, and there's no way back. But I sold this information to Konoha three hours ago and to Suna an hour ago. If you're too late, don't blame me for not getting anything."
Sakon and Ukon spoke up, "You don't need to worry about that. We have our own people in the Land of Fire."
At this point, Kimimaro gave a glare to the talkative Sakon and Ukon, then looked at Tayuya and said, "I'll go deal with this information. Tayuya, you continue to communicate with Kabuto."
After saying that, Kimimaro didn't linger in the room but left directly, as if he was truly going to handle the information and transmit the matter back to the Sound Village in the ninja world.
After Kabuto secured the third source of ninja tools, he spoke up, "I have another trade request."
Tayuya looked at Kabuto and asked, "What is it?"
"I wonder if the Sound Village can sell me the correct method of using energy cubes."
"I am willing to offer a large amount of energy cubes just to obtain the correct method of use."
Seeing Kabuto's earnest expression, Tayuya and the others were speechless for a moment. What exactly is the use of this thing? Do we even know?
Kabuto seemed to be acting again. But it was uncertain how much the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. would trust him.
"Energy cubes are of no use to you. Just treat them as currency for trading here."
"Of course, if you discover any unique uses, you can also trade them with us."
Upon being rejected again, disappointment appeared on Kabuto's face. Were all the ninja villages really so guarded about this thing's use?
As for using it as currency for trading, it was impossible for something produced by another organization to be considered currency.
Kabuto thought for a moment and changed his approach, "I'm not asking how to specifically use energy cubes. I want to know if this thing can enhance a ninja's strength."
It was obvious that Kabuto was still very concerned about enhancing his own strength, so he directly addressed the core issue: Can this thing really enhance a ninja's strength?
However, Tayuya shook her head and said, "I don't know if it can or cannot."
"If one day you figure it out, the Sound Village is willing to pay for that information."
Seeing Tayuya's ambiguous answer, Kabuto felt disappointed. Perhaps because of his weak strength and lack of a powerful force behind him, the other party was unwilling to trade the method of using energy cubes with him.
"Since the Sound Village doesn't have the method of using energy cubes, then I'll take my leave."
Having visited three ninja villages in a row without obtaining the method, Kabuto felt disheartened and decided not to stay in the Sound Village any longer.
Tayuya heard that Kabuto was leaving and didn't try to stop him. "Since you're leaving, I'll escort you out."
"As for the ninja tools, if you need them, just bring the energy cubes directly for trading."
After that, Tayuya escorted Kabuto out of the base. During the process, they communicated using a secret code. Once Kabuto left the base, Tayuya closed the gate and returned inside.
With Kabuto gone, Tayuya felt a lot more relaxed. They were well aware of Kabuto's strength. Except for Kimimaro, they, the Sound Ninja Four, were no match for Kabuto.
As for the communication between the two sides, it was all just a staged performance with Kabuto.
Tayuya obtained information from Kabuto, reassuring everyone.
Eventually, Orochimaru would come to oversee the work of the Sound Village. Additionally, Tayuya arranged for the Sound Ninja Five not to stay cooped up in the base but to visit places where they could help Lord Charles.
In the future, based on the information provided by S.H.I.E.L.D., Kabuto would communicate with them using summoning beasts to verify the potential locations of superhumans.
As Kabuto walked out of the Sound Village base and looked back at it, he boarded the S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicle. With a tired and disappointed voice, he said, "Back to S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
