Upon hearing Coulson's request, Kakashi nodded, "We'll notify you when the time comes. We have your contact information."
"As for this mission commission, we'll contact you as soon as we gather information."
Kakashi finished storing the mission scroll and then looked at Coulson, asking, "Is there anything else?"
Hearing the implication of Kakashi's question, Coulson didn't immediately get up to leave. Instead, he said, "S.H.I.E.L.D. has a batch of Item 084s. After we handle them, we'd like to trade with your organization."
"I hope you can provide a list of items for trade when the time comes."
Upon hearing Coulson's words, Kakashi asked in confusion, "What are Item 084s?"
Coulson explained, "The cosmic cube you've been wanting to acquire is referred to as an Item 084 within S.H.I.E.L.D."
"And other special items are collectively referred to as Item 084s, although each item has different abilities and characteristics."
"We intend to initiate some preliminary trades with some of these Item 084s."
Hearing Coulson's explanation, Kakashi paused for a moment, thinking to himself: Items similar to the cosmic cube?
This should be what Lord Charles needs, right?
"We need to see the items to assess their value. Once the value of the items is determined, we'll initiate the trade with you."
"After you prepare the items, you can contact the Charles Agency."
Hearing that the other party was indeed interested in Item 084s, Coulson said, "Once we're ready, we'll contact you. We hope your organization can prepare a list of items available for trade."
Kakashi nodded, "If your items are indeed similar to the cosmic cube, we'll provide you with trading options."
Coulson's task for the day was complete, so he got up to leave.
"The mission commission has been issued, so I'll take my leave."
Kakashi also put away the mission scroll and the briefcase containing the 200 energy blocks left by Coulson.
"Welcome back anytime."
Coulson and Kakashi walked to the door of the meeting room together. The door was already open, and Kakashi walked towards other rooms inside the agency, while Coulson prepared to leave.
Just as Coulson was about to step out, he turned around and asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Ninja, how should I address you?"
Kakashi, holding his belongings, didn't turn back, but answered as he walked forward, "Kakashi Hatake!"
Seeing the figure of Kakashi disappear, Coulson walked towards the stairs leading outside. Just as he was about to start his car, he muttered to himself, "So, Konoha has sent another ninja named Kakashi Hatake."
Suddenly, Coulson's hand, about to start the car, paused. In his mind, he recalled the profile of a ninja - Kakashi Hatake?
How is that possible? Wasn't he just a kid?
Just as Coulson was pondering, the sound of a car engine starting broke the silence.
However, although he looked young, he was definitely not a child anymore. At least he appeared to be a young ninja.
Are they the same person or not?
Coulson turned to look at the sign of the Charles Agency, wondering why this was happening.
He took out his tablet from the car and immediately pulled up Kakashi Hatake's file, then looked at the photo on it.
Looking at the photo of the young man with white hair and a mask, along with the ninja who had just received his mission commission, Coulson realized they were the same person.
Coulson exclaimed, "The development of ninjas is so fast! It's only been how long? Just a year?"
After confirming it was the same person, Coulson didn't linger any longer. He started his car and headed back to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Meanwhile...
Kabuto was back at S.H.I.E.L.D.
Upon returning to his dorm, Kabuto glanced at the S.H.I.E.L.D. regulations on the table. Instead of reviewing them, he turned and walked out of the room, heading towards Director Nick Fury's office.
However, just as Kabuto reached the elevator, heading towards the top floor, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent intercepted him.
"Kabuto, where are you going?"
"There are many areas in S.H.I.E.L.D. that are off-limits without permission."
Kabuto, stopped by the agent, didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "I just visited the residences of three ninja villages. There's some information that needs to be reported to the director."
Upon hearing Kabuto's reply, the agent picked up the radio on his shoulder, said a few words, then looked at Kabuto. "Take the elevator directly to the top floor. Don't stop on other floors along the way."
"Because of your agent level, there are still many areas not open to you."
After hearing that the agent didn't intend to accompany him, Kabuto nodded. "Thank you for letting me know."
He then boarded the elevator and headed straight to the top floor.
Meanwhile, Director Nick Fury had already been informed that Kabuto was coming to report.
Soon, the door of the office was knocked, and Nick Fury pressed a button, opening the office door.
Kabuto entered when he saw the door open and approached Nick Fury. "Director, I need to report today's situation to you."
Nick Fury looked at Kabuto and said, "Kabuto, come, sit down and tell me."
"What did you gain from visiting the ninja villages today? Did you find a way to use energy blocks?"
"If this thing can enhance your strength, just say it. The agency won't be stingy and will allocate some for you to improve your strength."
Nick Fury pretended to be confused, speaking some comforting words to Kabuto.
Kabuto, slightly disappointed, said, "I'm sorry, Director."
"I visited three ninja villages today, but none of them provided a method for using energy blocks."
"They didn't tell me their intentions, just said that energy blocks could be used to purchase ninja equipment and commission missions there."
"But I won't give up. Since Konoha, Suna, and Otogakure all buy energy blocks, there must be a reason for it."
"I'll conduct my own research and find out how to use energy blocks."
Upon hearing Kabuto's words, Nick Fury comforted him, "Since they're unwilling to share the method of using energy blocks with us, it's okay to let it go."
"You're a ninja yourself. With your own research, you should be able to find a way to use it."
"I'll allocate a place for you to conduct experiments. It's too dangerous to do it in your own room."
Upon hearing the director's words, Kabuto was excited. "Thank you, Director!"
