Chapter 490: Taking Advantage

Seeing Kabuto's slightly excited expression, Nick Fury nodded inwardly. Indeed, the matter of energy blocks was something that the other party really cared about.

At this moment, Kabuto spoke up, "Although I didn't obtain the method of using energy blocks this time, Charles Agency has agreed to sell me some D-rank ninjutsu."

"This was a great surprise, but the only regret is that these ninjutsu can only be practiced by me and cannot be taught to others."

Upon hearing Kabuto's words, Nick Fury pondered for a moment before asking, "Is it very difficult to obtain ninjutsu?"

"And how are ninjutsu graded?"

"Director, since you haven't been to the ninja world, you may not understand it well. For wandering ninjas like us, obtaining ninjutsu is extremely difficult."

"Even most wandering ninjas may only have one ninjutsu in their lifetime, and they may never have the opportunity to learn a second one."

"Moreover, some may not even have the chance to learn one ninjutsu in their life, relying solely on ninja tools for combat."

Listening to Kabuto's explanation, Nick Fury thought to himself that this was a kind of monopoly on ninjutsu from top to bottom.

"As for the grading of ninjutsu, there are six levels in total, which are..."

After hearing Kabuto's explanation, Nick Fury immediately asked, "Doesn't that mean the ninjutsu sold by Charles Agency to you are of very low rank?"

Kabuto shook his head and said, "It's not that higher-ranked ninjutsu are better. The higher the rank of ninjutsu, the more difficult it is to practice."

"With my current abilities, even if I were given an S-rank ninjutsu, I might not be able to learn and master it."

"D-rank ninjutsu are the most suitable for me right now. I should be able to learn and master ninjutsu of this level quickly to improve my combat effectiveness."

"However, Charles Agency sells D-rank ninjutsu for 200 energy blocks, and I only have 100. I want to ask you, Director, for an advance payment of two months' worth of energy blocks to purchase a D-rank ninjutsu."

Nick Fury smiled and said, "S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't have a policy of advance payments, but based on the information you provided, I have decided to reward you with 200 energy blocks for purchasing ninjutsu."

Kabuto looked at Nick Fury excitedly and said, "Thank you, Director!"

At this moment, Nick Fury said, "There's also something I need to inform you about. According to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s regulations, newly recruited field agents are assigned a guide, also known as a supervising officer, responsible for their training and effective execution of S.H.I.E.L.D. missions. Consider them as mentors for new recruits."

"So, we have arranged a supervising officer for you as well, and you will meet him tomorrow."

Kabuto heard Nick Fury's words without any resentment, but instead remained very calm. "A Teacher? I understand, Director, and I have no problem with that."

Nick Fury was curious. "Teacher?"

"Director, it is said that in ninja villages, newly graduated genin will have their own teachers to lead them in training and take on missions for practice."

"But this is generally a treatment enjoyed by genin graduates from ninja villages. I've only heard of it and never experienced it myself."

Nick Fury looked at Kabuto and thought to himself, "So that's how it is. No wonder Kabuto did not have any opinions on someone supervising him"

"Very well, it seems that there's a similar tradition in the ninja world. It seems like everyone has similar ideas in this regard."

"Kabuto, I'll arrange for the energy blocks to be delivered directly to your room. During this time, you should make good use of your time to quickly grasp the regulations of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Thank you, Director. I will quickly grasp the rules and regulations of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Good, then you may go."

"Yes, Director!"

Kabuto left happily after getting 200 energy blocks for free from Nick Fury.

As for the supervising officer, he didn't care at all. What could an ordinary person who wasn't even a ninja do besides telling him some common sense and the rules of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Supervise him? And dig out his undercover identity?

Don't be ridiculous. It's not that Kabuto looked down on the other person, but even the ninjas specialized in espionage in the ninja world couldn't catch this spy expert specifically trained by the root.

…

On the other side-

After Coulson left, Kakashi returned to his room and immediately recorded everything that happened today and Coulson's mention of the 084 items onto a scroll.

Then, after storing the 229 energy blocks he received into a storage scroll, he used the Summoning Technique to summon his ninja dogs.

"Take these two scrolls to the summoning world and send them to Lord Charles."

"Sure thing, Kakashi. After I return to the summoning world, I'll immediately contact Lord Charles and deliver the items to him."

"Thank you."

As Kakashi finished speaking, the summoned dog released the Summoning Technique and returned to the summoning world.

…

On the other side-

At this moment, Charles Doyle was resting within the Jotunheim Palace. It had been a day since Madara Uchiha left.

Thor had already recovered from his injuries. He felt somewhat helpless about the fact that they still had to wait for the spaceship and the reinforcements from Asgard for another half month.

Just as Charles was about to go outside the palace to practice ninjutsu, he suddenly felt a summon.

"Is this the Reverse Summoning Technique?"

The next moment, Charles dissipated into smoke within the Jotunheim Palace and appeared in the summoning world.

When Charles opened his eyes, he found himself on top of Inukami, surrounded by seven of the Eight Ninja dogs, as Parker remained by Tony's side.

At this moment, Charles looked at the ninja dogs and asked, "What's going on?"

One of the ninja dogs walked over and said, "Kakashi has two scrolls for you, Lord Charles."

At this moment, two other ninja dogs approached, and one of them said, "The Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja also have something for Lord Charles."

Hearing the words of the ninja dogs and seeing the scrolls tied to their bodies, Charles took them all down.

"You've all worked hard!"

Looking at the four scrolls in front of him, Charles first opened the mission report sent by Kakashi.

Reading the information Kakashi wrote on it, Charles understood what was going on.

"Kabuto didn't disappoint me. He has already infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. so quickly."
