Chapter 121 The Hammer Moves

Actually, when it came to ninjutsu and such, among the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the one most accepting of it was Hawkeye Barton.

During his early years of learning archery, Hawkeye Barton had spent some time in Japan, which allowed him to become aware of the existence of ninjutsu.

However, the ninjutsu he knew about was vastly different from what the members of the Akatsuki organization and the Leaf Village demonstrated.

Compared to the ninjutsu exhibited by the Akatsuki organization and the Leaf Village, the ninjutsu in Japan was not even worth mentioning.

After further investigation, Hawkeye Barton learned that the ninjutsu performed by the members of the Akatsuki organization and the Leaf Village required a special energy—chakra—as their power source.

Chakra, compared to ninjutsu, was like mana compared to magic.

They complemented each other, and one could not do without the other.

Since then, Hawkeye Barton had been wondering if he had the talent to cultivate chakra?

Compared to physical training and the like, cultivating chakra, this new energy, obviously held more promise.

However, Hawkeye had never had the opportunity to come into contact with people like Minato Namikaze, so his desires had always been buried deep within him.

Today, he finally had the opportunity to interact with Minato Namikaze, a chakra adept. He couldn't contain his curiosity, hence his actions.

But he didn't expect Minato Namikaze to not only not be angry but also willing to let him experience the amazing space ninjutsu!

This sparked a craving in Hawkeye's heart: Do I also have the chance to master chakra and learn ninjutsu?

Perhaps, in the future...

Calming his mind, Hawkeye Barton looked at the hand that Minato Namikaze had placed on his shoulder and resisted the urge to push it away.

Feeling the changes in his body, Minato Namikaze raised an eyebrow, then took out a tri-pronged kunai from his ninja pouch and shot it towards Mjolnir.

Crack!

The plastic sheet was mercilessly pierced by the tri-pronged kunai, but the kunai didn't slow down and directly approached Thor's hammer.

Seizing the opportunity, Minato Namikaze activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, moving through space along with Hawkeye Barton.

Whoosh!

The next moment, a hand appeared on the handle of the tri-pronged kunai flying in the air. Minato Namikaze grabbed the kunai, bringing Hawkeye Barton to a position above Mjolnir.

Smack!

The two fell together, Hawkeye Barton feeling somewhat flustered, but with Minato Namikaze's help, he managed to steady himself on the ground.

At this moment, Hawkeye Barton's contempt for Minato Namikaze completely disappeared.

Originally, in Hawkeye Barton's mind, Minato Namikaze was just a young man. His only strength lay in practicing chakra since childhood, which is why he was so powerful now.

If I could practice chakra since I was a child, I would definitely be stronger than Minato Namikaze now! Hawkeye Barton thought to himself.

But the reality was that when Minato Namikaze could react, Hawkeye Barton couldn't grasp the opportunity at all.

So he panicked in mid-air and needed Minato Namikaze's help to stand firm.

Leaving aside everything else, Minato Namikaze's ability to react had already completely surpassed Hawkeye Barton's.

At this moment, Barton suddenly understood a necessary skill required for practicing space ninjutsu: reflexes!

If the reflexes were insufficient, even if he managed to practice space ninjutsu reluctantly, he wouldn't be able to use it properly and might even hurt himself.

Taking a deep breath, Hawkeye Barton regained his composure, then saw Minato Namikaze approach Mjolnir and reach out to grip the handle.

Seeing this, Barton didn't stop him.

Countless people had already tried before, but no one could pick up this hammer.

Moreover, physical contact wouldn't affect the hammer at all, so if Minato Namikaze wanted to touch it, let him!

"This is Coulson, who has been paying attention to the situation here," Coulson instructed through Hawkeye Barton's earpiece.

However, to everyone's surprise, after Minato Namikaze grabbed the handle and exerted some force, Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, actually moved!

Crack!

The angle of the handle of Mjolnir changed from forty-five degrees to fifty degrees!

Although it was just a slight change, it did indeed move!

This change surprised Coulson greatly. He quickly grabbed the clothes of the agent next to him and said, "Did you capture that scene just now?"

Because of their keen interest in this descending hammer, S.H.I.E.L.D. had set up cameras next to the hammer to record all its changes.

The nearby agent nodded quickly, "Yes, sir, everything has been captured!"

"That's good!" Coulson let go of the agent and looked at the screen of the monitoring device, sinking into thought.

The nearby agent hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, what should we do next?"

Coulson looked up, "Don't do anything, this is just a small matter!"

Compared to maintaining a good relationship with Minato Namikaze, this was indeed just a trivial matter.

If they were to investigate Minato Namikaze's moving of the hammer further, it would definitely cause Minato Namikaze's resentment.

This would be a loss outweighing the gain, something Coulson would never do.
