Uchiha Itachi spoke up, "Lord Charles, we discovered a deeply hidden technological nation on this planet, with a large amount of Vibranium."
Charles immediately responded, "Wakanda!"
"You know of it, my lord," Itachi said, a bit surprised.
Charles nodded and asked, "What happened next?"
"We launched a surprise attack and obtained a ton of Vibranium. However, there were some unexpected events."
Hearing they had obtained a ton of Vibranium, Charles was indeed surprised. That was quite a substantial amount. He also wondered how they had found Wakanda. It couldn't have been Pakura who told them, as she didn't know the exact location.
"How did you find Wakanda?" Charles asked.
Itachi explained, "Kakashi told me. While searching for the Golden Nation, he stumbled upon that place and sensed something unusual. Since he didn't stay long due to his mission, he asked me to investigate further. We happened to notice an attack and followed their aircraft, discovering the real Wakanda."
Itachi then detailed their observations, how they infiltrated Wakanda, attacked the city, obtained Vibranium, and why they had to retreat.
Charles said, "It's fortunate you were decisive. Otherwise, you might have all been trapped there. Hidan's opponent was likely Bast, Wakanda's guardian deity."
"Deity..." Itachi murmured, recalling Akatsuki's leader who also claimed to be a god.
Charles continued, "This world is not simple. It hides various powerful beings. You'll encounter more in the future."
"Where is Hidan? Take me to him."
Katsuyu spoke up, "He is here."
Katsuyu shifted slightly, revealing Hidan lying on a stone platform.
"His body contains a unique energy repelling chakra-based healing. I've stabilized him with sage energy for now."
Charles approached Hidan, frowning. Hidan, who possessed immortality, was left nearly crippled by Bast. This deity's power was beyond his expectations.
"Chakra healing is ineffective?" Charles mused.
"I'll call Tsunade to take a look."
Katsuyu interrupted, "It's not a medical issue. Tsunade won't be able to help. The unique energy in his body is blocking his self-healing. Removing or neutralizing this energy will allow him to recover."
If Tsunade couldn't heal him, Charles considered two options: using the system's abilities to upgrade or merge cards, or seeking external help from someone like Ancient One or Odin.
As Charles pondered, Hidan awoke.
"Cough... cough..."
"Hidan, you're awake."
"Lord Charles!"
Charles asked, "Hidan, you're severely injured. Do you have a method to recover?"
Being a follower of Jashin, Hidan might have his own solution. Charles suspected the energy within him was Bast's divine power.
"My lord, don't worry. I know my condition well. If I perform a few more sacrifices, I believe my wounds will heal."
"Hidan, the energy blocking your recovery is likely Bast's divine power. Are you sure sacrifices will work?"
"Yes, my lord. My instincts are rarely wrong. A few more sacrifices will definitely restore me."
Charles nodded and then addressed Itachi, Kisame, and Deidara, "Hidan's recovery is now your responsibility. There are many remote areas in Africa. Avoid Wakanda and perform the sacrifices there."
"Understood, Lord Charles!" X3
Hidan grinned, "Lord Charles, I have a feeling that if I can sacrifice the one who attacked me, my power will increase dramatically."
Charles's eyes lit up. Sacrificing a deity might indeed be a path for Hidan to ascend.
"There will be opportunities!"
Hidan nodded, feeling hopeful about his future. He was determined to spread Jashin's glory in this world.
Kisame approached with a box, placing it before Charles. "My lord, here is the Vibranium we collected."
Charles stored the box in his spatial storage with a wave and said, "Do any of you need new weapons made from Vibranium?"
Kisame looked at Samehada and shook his head. "Samehada is perfect. I don't need a new weapon."
Deidara also shook his head, showing his clay pouch to indicate he was content with it. Itachi then spoke, "I don't need a weapon, but Hidan's triple-bladed scythe was destroyed by Bast. He needs a new weapon."
After considering their requests, Charles said, "I'll have a new triple-bladed scythe made for Hidan from Vibranium. Additionally, I'll commission Vibranium battle suits for each of you, in the style of your Akatsuki robes. This should greatly enhance your defense."
"Thank you, Lord Charles!" the three responded in unison.
Kisame, having witnessed Vibranium's defensive capabilities, was particularly pleased. This would significantly boost their defense.
Turning to Uchiha Itachi, Charles thought for a moment before saying, "Itachi, Shisui has also arrived."
"Shisui..." Hearing the name, Itachi was momentarily stunned, his thoughts drifting back to the past.
Shisui had been a mentor and friend to him. However, after being ambushed by Danzo and losing one Mangekyo Sharingan, he ultimately committed suicide in front of Itachi.
After informing Itachi, Charles's consciousness entered the system space, placing Uchiha Shisui's ninja card in the deployment slot, selecting to manifest within three meters.
In the next moment, the figure of Ninja Rookie - Uchiha Shisui began to appear.
Seeing Shisui, Itachi felt a mix of emotions: joy, pain, regret, and more.
Charles said, "I'll leave Shisui to you for now. Catch up and teach him about this world. After you help Hidan recover, let Shisui report back to the base."
"Yes, Lord Charles!"
Charles didn't stay long in the summoning world, leaving the space for Itachi and Shisui. Although Shisui was only nine years old now, he believed the two would have much to talk about.
Dismissing the reverse summoning, Charles Doyle returned to his room.
...
Meanwhile-
Wakanda-
In the palace, the tribal elders, including the seldom-seen M'Baku who worshipped the White Gorilla god, gathered.
King T'Chaka spoke, "Thank Bast for her protection!"
Everyone in the palace, except M'Baku, echoed, "Thank Bast for her protection!"
After a pause, T'Chaka continued, "T'Challa, bring it up."
T'Challa carried a box forward, opening it before everyone. Inside was the broken remains of Hidan's triple-bladed scythe.
"This weapon was used by one of the attackers."
At T'Chaka's signal, Shuri projected images of Uchiha Itachi, Hidan, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Deidara for everyone to see.
"These four are the culprits behind the attack on Wakanda."
"Judging by their attire, we can tell they are ninjas. Although their headbands are different, indicating different villages, their uniform suggests they belong to the same organization."
"Their target in attacking Wakanda was our Vibranium."
"This attack has caused us immeasurable loss. Beyond the economic damage, what pains me the most is the loss of Wakandan lives in this conflict."
An elder from the River Tribe asked, "Are the people who attacked the border city connected to them?"
T'Challa replied, "I don't think so. If they were, they would have attacked us together."
"With their strength, my father and I wouldn't have been able to resist them."
Hearing T'Challa's words, the elders pondered deeply.
