Chapter 404: The Forgotten Ninja

Charles was unaware of the events that occurred in the central square of London. At this moment, he held the ANBU costume left by Uchiha Itachi and arrived at Training Ground 1.

On the way, Charles had a feeling that he forgot something, but for the moment, he couldn't recall what it was.

Pushing open the door to Training Ground 1, he saw Uchiha Sasuke diligently training.

"Uchiha Kenjutsu!"

"Fire Release: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!"

Watching Sasuke practice, Charles nodded in approval. In this dangerous world, there was no room for relaxation.

As Charles arrived, Sasuke stopped his training and respectfully approached him.

"Lord Charles!"

Charles nodded, then took out Itachi's ANBU costume.

"This is a gift from your brother, Itachi."

Looking at the ANBU costume in Charles's hand, Sasuke visibly hesitated for a moment but respectfully accepted it.

After receiving the ANBU costume, Uchiha Sasuke hesitated for a moment before asking, "Has my deserter brother already come?"

Sasuke didn't use the term "exterminator" but chose "deserter." After his latest fusion, Sasuke knew about his own pursuit of power for revenge and betrayal of the village to follow Orochimaru.

"Yes, Itachi also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."

"In the next period, he needs to complete some missions. Until the missions are over, he won't return to the base. He'll be active in this world as a rogue ninja."

"Since you know this information; don't let it leak."

Charles didn't hide anything from Sasuke. Although he didn't mention the specifics of Itachi's missions, he revealed the role Itachi was playing.

Sasuke bowed his head. When he looked up again, the three tomoe Sharingan appeared in his eyes.

"I understand, Lord Charles!"

After handing over the item, Charles left Training Ground 1 and headed to his room.

After Charles left, Sasuke put the item back in his room and went straight to the entrance of Orochimaru's laboratory, knocking on the door.

As Orochimaru opened the door, Sasuke, who came to apprentice himself to Orochimaru, said seriously:

"Teacher Orochimaru, please guide my training."

Looking at this Uchiha kid who came to him, seeking guidance and mentorship, Orochimaru thought for a moment and did not refuse.

Although most of the ninjas in the base remained silent in front of him, Orochimaru had gained some information about future events from other ninjas during this period.

"Follow me; I also need an assistant."

Afterward, Uchiha Sasuke followed Orochimaru into the laboratory...

…

Back in his room, Charles, sitting on the sofa, was about to turn on the TV when he suddenly remembered something he forgot.

Directly entering the system space, opening the ninja list, and looking at the lonely Aburame Shino, who hadn't been placed in the battle roster, he slapped his forehead and said, "This guy's presence is really too low. Even I forgot about him."

Charles spent 28,000 gold coins to open a battle column again and put Aburame Shino's Ninja card on it.

Ding! Please select the location for Aburame Shino to appear!

Within a three-meter radius!

The next moment, Aburame Shino's figure began to appear in front of Charles.

Watching Shino slowly materialize, Charles still couldn't understand how the system made him appear. Perhaps his own strength was too weak in the face of the system, so even with the Mangekyō Sharingan, he couldn't comprehend it.

After receiving the memories, Shino opened his eyes and respectfully said, "Lord Charles!"

Charles took out a tablet filled with information and handed it to Shino.

"There is a lot of information about this world in here. Take some time to study it."

"Start by studying the entomology of this world, see if there are any bugs that can help and are suitable for cultivation."

"If there are none suitable, don't worry. I know there are quite a few powerful insects on other planets. We can research that later."

Shino took the tablet from Charles's hand and respectfully said, "Understood, Lord Charles."

After some thought, Charles called Shizune through the Red Queen and then said, "Shizune, until Kurenai arrives, Aburame Shino and Hyuga Hinata will temporarily be under your leadership."

"Take Shino down, educate him about the knowledge of this world, and inform him about our situation and influence in this world."

"Yes, Lord Charles!"

Watching Shizune lead Shino away, Charles understood that the configuration of the Konoha Twelve needed to be accelerated. Besides that, the leaders of the various Genin teams also needed to be recruited as soon as possible.

Entering the system space again, Charles's focus shifted to the ninja recruitment.

Opening the ninja recruitment interface, everything changed the next second. In the mist-filled Misukage building, a huge scroll was placed on the offering platform. On the wall hung two words: "Ninjutsu!"

At this moment, Mizukage Mei Terumi walked gracefully towards it. Then, she pulled out a water whip from her mouth, held it in his hand and struck it on the ground.

Looking at the surging waves of the Water Princess - Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi in the image, Charles was stunned.

This last scene froze, becoming the background of the summoning interface, marked with A-rank: Mei Terumi!

The silhouette of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who used to sit alone accompanied by crows in Uchiha's secret base, was no longer present. Instead, it transformed into a mature sister, Mei Terumi!

Emerald green eyes, wearing a Mizukage hat, with her right eye covered by her hair, pink lips. Well-endowed figure, large bust, fair skin. Wearing a blue strapless dress with a white belt around the waist, with dark blue nail polish.

She was indeed a very beautiful mature woman.

Truly deserving of the title of Water Princess, even Charles felt a moment of excitement. This was another powerful woman with a different charm from Tsunade.

Charles's was visibly excited. The Fifth Mizukage, the leader of one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, had finally made her appearance. Although she was not the strongest kage, she was still a leader of a village, and her strength was undoubtedly very powerful.

Having both Boil Release and Lava Release, Mei Terumi's strength surpassed that of ordinary Kage-level figures.

After successfully recruiting her, she could easily oversee a Hidden Village alone. And pairing her with some Mist Village shinobi would create a perfect combination.

Even if Charles had to leave Earth for some reason, Mei Terumi could act as a representative.
