Chapter 216: The Discovered Bruce Banner

At this point, Ginny stood next to Charles, while Shizune and Tsunade approached Iruka and the others.

As soon as Tsunade arrived, she casually asked, "Charles, is there a mission?"

Meanwhile, Kakashi Hatake, who had been calm, was internally shocked. As one of the Legendary Sannin, he had encountered Tsunade several times during his youth.

Unexpectedly, even Lady Tsunade came to this place!

Charles had a smile on his face as he spoke, "We're all Konoha Village ninjas, and with the arrival of a new comrade, let's all get acquainted."

"Starting with Iruka, everyone, please introduce yourselves!"

Following Charles's instructions, the seven ninjas, starting with Iruka, introduced themselves, allowing everyone to become familiar with each other.

Once the introductions were completed, the attention of the others was all drawn to Tsunade. Clearly, not everyone might know who Kakashi Hatake was, but no Konoha Village ninja would be unfamiliar with one of the Legendary Sannin, Tsunade.

Regarding the curious gazes, Tsunade was already used to it. After all, she had been the center of attention since birth.

Charles clapped his hands to refocus everyone's attention, then spoke, "We've gained two new members for our team, which is a good thing." 

"We'll have a gathering tonight, and I'll have the chef prepare some delicious food to welcome our new members. In the future, more comrades will join us!"

Hearing about the gathering, Naruto immediately shouted, "Awesome, Lord Charles!"

Charles smiled but continued, "Aside from that, Iruka's mission brought us some new things."

Charles then introduced in front of everyone the vampires, werewolves, and their common ancestor, Alexander.

"Tsunade, you and Shizune have a new research task, which is to investigate the secrets of Alexander's bloodline and how he achieved immortality."

"Although both werewolves and vampires, as well as their ancestor Alexander, are relatively weak, their bloodlines grant them longevity. Alexander, in particular, has lived for over a thousand years."

"At the same time, Alexander's blood can cause the evolution of werewolves and vampires."

"Iruka, later, draw a sample of Alexander's blood for Selene. Let her gain the evolution of the bloodline, allowing her not to fear sunlight anymore."

"Ultraviolet rays will no longer be her weakness, and she can become a vampire who walks under the sun!"

Hearing Charles's instructions, Tsunade spoke, "Iruka, I need to conduct a physical examination on werewolves, vampires, and the half-wolf, half-vampire Michael." 

"As for the bloodline evolution, we'll need to do it in my laboratory. I want to obtain first-hand data."

Clearly, Tsunade, as a medical ninja, was very interested in this real existence that was right in front of her. 

In her perception, the lifespan of ninjas was too short, even her grandfather who suppressed the ninja world during his time had died young. If only her grandfather could live as long as this Alexander, the ninja world might not have seen major wars.

Charles nodded, "Iruka, just follow Tsunade's instructions."

Ginny, who was standing by, also showed considerable interest in werewolves and vampires, especially in matters related to immortality. Although everyone wasn't in a hurry at the moment, no one could ignore the significance of such things.

"Ginny, after Tsunade completes her examinations, the remaining werewolves will be under your command. You'll be responsible for their usage and assignments."

"After the base is constructed, you can assign them to work with the High Table Envoys to ensure the security of the new base."

Hearing that all werewolves were under her command, Ginny revealed a sweet smile and said, "Understood!"

"Oh, there's one more thing. You need to forge two knives, one that is 16 meters long and another that is 1 meter long. Use the best-known materials for forging, ensuring sharpness and durability."

After saying this, Charles took out the sketch he drew last night and handed it to Ginny.

"Boss, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? Did you mean 1.6 meters instead of 16 meters?"

Charles affirmed, "No, it's sixteen meters for one and one meter for the other!"

Ginny stored the sketch and said, "OK, I'll have someone forge them."

After giving all the instructions, Charles let the other ninjas under his command interact freely while he followed Iruka to the next room to receive the allegiance of the werewolves, Michael and Selene.

…

On the other side-

Inside the Pentagon, Ross was correcting documents while smoking a cigar. A clerk standing nearby handed a document to Ross, saying, "You might be interested in this."

Ross glanced at the document, and the clerk explained, "We suspect it's gamma poisoning."

"In Milwaukee, someone drank a bottle of Guaraná fruit soda, and the effects were more intense than expected."

Excitedly hearing this news, Ross stood up and said, "Where is the soda bottled?"

"Pôrto Alegre Port, Brazil."

"Send someone to the bottling factory, find a Caucasian man. For now, don't make any moves. If he sees you, he might run away."

Soon, a soldier named Bronski was brought from the U.S. military base to assist Ross in a secret military operation.

In the helicopter-

"Here are the target and location. This is an arrest operation, capture him alive. Use tranquilizer guns; only resort to firearms if necessary."

"The police will assist, but we can't make too much noise."

Looking at the documents in his hand, Bronski asked, "Will the target resist?"

At this moment, General Ross, who was also on the helicopter, replied, "The target is a fugitive evading the U.S. government. He stole military secrets and is suspected of killing two scientists, a military officer, an Idaho State Trooper, and two Canadian hunters."

"So, don't wait for him to resist. Use the tranquilizer and bring him back."

…

Meanwhile, as Charles and Iruka left, Sasuke, who was nearby, either thought about Kakashi's current age or had the desire to spar with him. He approached Kakashi and said, "Kakashi, I want to have a match with you!"

Looking at the young Uchiha, Kakashi thought of his clumsy teammate, Obito and didn't refuse, "Sure!"

Upon hearing about the spar, Tsunade, who was also present, showed interest. She jumped over to them and said, "I'll be your referee. You two can spar with confidence!"

Then she turned to the others, "Anyone wants to bet on who will win?"
