After lunch, Naruto, disguised as Wu Chen, took advantage of the opportunity to visit the restroom at the restaurant and left behind a Flying Thunder God seal outside the back wall. He then released his transformation and Shadow Clones.
In New York, at Wu Chen's home, he absorbed Naruto's memories as he ate his meal. While enjoying his food, he created three Shadow Clones. This time, he didn't make too many, just three.
One was disguised as Naruto, another as Kakashi Hatake, and the third as Deidara. Because this operation could take up to a day or two, creating too many Shadow Clones might lead to chakra depletion for both sides in the middle of the fight between the Hokage and the Akatsuki, which would be embarrassing.
With only three clones, he didn't need to worry about that. After assigning roles to the clones, Wu Chen watched them depart before quickly finishing his lunch and returning to his training.
Whoosh! With a flash of golden light, three figures appeared outside the only Chinese restaurant in the "human paradise" town in New Mexico.
They were Naruto, Kakashi Hatake, and Deidara.
As soon as they appeared, Kakashi immediately used his ability to warp himself and Deidara into a vortex, disappearing from view to avoid being seen as an ally of evil. Meanwhile, Naruto activated his Body Flicker Technique and slipped into the restroom.
After pretending to use the restroom, Naruto emerged casually. Phil Coulson was waiting for him at the door. Seeing Naruto taking so long, Coulson hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Uzumaki, if you need it, we can arrange for the best urologist..."
"Mr. Coulson, would you like to experience the sensation of taking off in place?" Naruto's face darkened, silencing Coulson wisely.
Seeing this, Naruto didn't say much more and didn't pursue it further. After all, they had been together for a long time, and Naruto knew Coulson could handle these kinds of harmless jokes.
After that, Coulson drove Naruto to the location of the crater. Throughout the journey, Coulson never suspected that Naruto had returned after leaving earlier. It was all due to his limited thinking.
Coulson had only dealt with ordinary people or those with extraordinary abilities still within the realm of ordinary human imagination. But ninjas like Naruto, who wielded chakra and were considered peak warriors, couldn't be understood with ordinary logic.
Arriving at the site of the crater, Coulson handed over control of the situation to Naruto, as per orders. It was indeed as Naruto had guessed: Coulson had been directly responsible for Naruto and Tsunade since his arrival, so he couldn't handle the Thor situation.
But now, with Coulson here, Nick Fury had ordered all agents at the site to obey Coulson's orders. This was confirmed by Coulson's subsequent explanation.
After explaining, Coulson asked Naruto, "Mr. Uzumaki, what are the characteristics of the seal location for the One-Tail?"
"Are there any desert dunes nearby? The most desolate and largest dune area should be where the One-Tail's seal is located underground." Naruto blurted out, based on the One-Tail's habits.
"But don't you need to deal with the base first?" Coulson lightly shook his head. "The director's orders prioritize Mr. Uzumaki's affairs! So, please wait here for a while, Mr. Uzumaki. Feel free to walk around and take a look."
With that, he instructed the agents to search for the suspected location of the One-Tail's seal. Naruto pursed his lips, thinking to himself: Nick Fury's move was indeed clever!
