Chapter 384: Rebellion of the Ninja

Coulson sat on the sofa, sipping his coffee, observing everything around him.

Meanwhile, Ginny, accompanied by the Anbu Itachi, entered the meeting area. If Coulson had any unfavorable thoughts, they were prepared to intervene.

Coulson, seeing that it was Ginny, Charles's secretary, accompanied by a ninja with an animal mask, couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly.

After all, he was here to visit Charles Doyle not them, so their unexpected arrival raised questions.

"Welcome to the base, Agent Coulson!"

Coulson quickly stood up, shaking hands with Ginny, saying, "Long time no see, Ms. Ginny."

"You're getting more beautiful!"

Ginny sat across from Coulson, and Itachi remained silent, observing everything from the sidelines.

"I wonder, Agent Coulson, what brings you here this time."

Coulson pushed the briefcase on the table toward Ginny and said, "Congratulations on the completion of Mr. Charles's base. This is a gift I brought."

"100 energy blocks, I hope Mr. Charles doesn't find it insufficient."

Seeing the briefcase on the table, Ginny didn't immediately reach for it or open it; instead, she smiled.

"I'll accept the gift on behalf of Lord Charles. S.H.I.E.L.D. is really considerate."

Seeing Ginny accept the gift, Coulson's face showed a friendly smile.

"Ms. Ginny, this time I mainly came to visit Mr. Charles since I didn't get a chance to meet him at the Agency."

"I wonder when I can meet Mr. Charles. S.H.I.E.L.D. has some matters to discuss with him."

Hearing Coulson's intention to visit Charles Doyle, Ginny shook her head and said, "Lord Charles is not at the base; you won't be able to see him for the time being."

Seeing that he couldn't meet Charles Doyle this time either, Coulson's eyes turned, and he asked, "I wonder when Mr. Charles will be back?"

Ginny, thinking of Charles undergoing bloodline transformation, wasn't sure when he would complete the transformation and wake up.

"At the moment, it's not clear. Is there anything S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to discuss?"

Coulson smiled and said, "Is Mr. Charles back in Konoha?"

Ginny looked at Coulson but remained silent.

Seeing that he couldn't extract the information he wanted, Coulson took out a photo of Hidan from his pocket and got to the main topic.

"Since Mr. Charles is not here, there are some matters S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to discuss with you."

Placing the photo in front of Ginny, Coulson said, "According to the information we obtained, this ninja, Hidan, is now a rogue ninja and is not under the protection of the Hidden Steam Village."

"This rogue ninja has been committing massacres in Africa and has killed 22 S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. We are preparing to apprehend him legally."

"We hope that the capture by S.H.I.E.L.D. will not be obstructed by Mr. Charles and the Hidden Leaf Village behind him."

Upon hearing about a rogue ninja, Ginny was somewhat puzzled. Although she had some understanding of ninja affairs, her knowledge was limited. She only knew that the ninjas around Charles were from the Hidden Leaf Village.

However, the term "rogue ninja" seems to imply an existence that betrays the Hidden Village.

Ginny picked up the photo that Coulson had placed on the table and took a look. She confirmed that it wasn't a ninja she had seen before. However, she turned to Itachi and asked, "Do you recognize this ninja?"

Itachi took the photo from Ginny's hand, examined it carefully, and initially felt a bit nervous. After all, the ninjas in this world, as per his information, were brought by Lord Charles.

This rogue ninja might be one of their own.

Especially when he heard that this ninja was a rogue ninja from the Hidden Steam Village, causing such a commotion, if S.H.I.E.L.D. went all out to capture or eliminate the rogue ninja from a small village, it was highly likely to succeed.

But when Itachi saw the attire of the ninja in the photo—black with red cloud patterns—he let go of his worries.

Before being summoned to this world, Itachi had already made contact with this organization.

There was even a person claiming to be Uchiha Madara, and through him, Itachi learned that there were no weaklings in the organization—all were powerful, kage-level individuals.

Itachi had even launched an attack against the man with the mask, claiming to be Uchiha Madara, but he couldn't land a single blow. He couldn't even inflict any damage whatsoever.

Before he could decide whether to save the village by exterminating the clan or how to persuade his people to let go of extreme ideas, he was brought to this world.

Seeing the ninja named Hidan, dressed in the organization's attire, he must be a member. His strength must be formidable, which explained why Lord Charles brought him in this world.

However, Itachi wondered why he wasn't brought back to the base and was left outside to develop independently. Could there be any plans that he was not aware of?

After looking at the photo for a moment, Itachi spoke, "I don't recognize him, but judging by the mark on his forehead protector, he is indeed a rogue ninja."

"This rogue ninja from the Hidden Steam Village won't receive protection from the village."

Itachi thought, 'As for whether he will receive protection from other Akatsuki members, I'm not sure.'

After all, he didn't know how many ninjas Lord Charles had left outside, and there might even be other Akatsuki members among them.

Ginny, seeing that Itachi also didn't recognize the ninja, tentatively confirmed that he wasn't from their side.

"The members of Charles Agency will not obstruct S.H.I.E.L.D.'s actions. As for the Hidden Leaf Village behind us, I'm not sure if they will interfere."

Itachi then spoke, "The Leaf Village won't intervene in the capture of a rogue ninja from another village unless that rogue ninja has done something harmful to the Leaf Village."

Seeing the serious expressions of the two, Coulson felt assured. It seemed that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s actions to capture Hidan wouldn't be interfered with by the forces behind Charles.

At this point, Coulson's smile became even more confident, and he moved on to the second matter.

"Ms. Ginny, we've learned that Jane Foster is currently under your protection. So, regarding Jane's safety, it's now entirely in your hands. S.H.I.E.L.D. won't interfere."

Clearly, S.H.I.E.L.D. was now ready to pass on the hot potato Jane Foster to Charles.

However, after Coulson finished speaking about this matter, Ginny's expression changed. Her smile disappeared, and she looked at Coulson coldly.
