Of course SHIELD agreed.
Since they lacked the ability to stop the potential crisis on their own, relying on outside help was only natural.
Otherwise, what could they do?
Just sit back and watch the crisis happen?
SHIELD, which saw itself as the “Protector of the Earth,” could not do that.
After some discussion, the mission reward was set at ten million dollars, and SHIELD would fully assist Alex in completing this mission.
Now he didn’t have to worry about money anymore.
——— Using the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to his bedroom, Alex looked at the large suitcase full of cash in his hand and couldn’t help smiling.
He had carefully checked both the suitcase and the money.
There were no trackers or other annoying devices.
SHIELD paying the reward in advance was a show of sincerity.
And with SHIELD helping him, increasing Minato’s role-playing progress would no longer be difficult.
——— After locking the money in a safe, Alex used the Flying Thunder God Technique again and returned to where Black Widow Natasha was.
She was in a sports car that was currently moving.
Alex appeared directly in the passenger seat because a three-pronged kunai had been placed there.
No matter what, there was still a difference between men and women.
So Alex had not left the Flying Thunder God mark from the “Sword of Love” on Natasha.
Instead, he had given her a three-pronged kunai carrying a Flying Thunder God mark.
When Natasha noticed Alex’s arrival, the corner of her mouth twitched.
Another person had suddenly appeared in her personal car, and she couldn’t even make him leave.
The feeling left her with mixed emotions.
Even though she had known this would probably happen often in the future, Natasha could not throw away the three-pronged kunai.
Because it was an order from SHIELD Director Nick Fury.
[“From this moment on, Level 7 SHIELD Agent Natasha Romanoff is appointed as an exclusive intelligence liaison agent.
Exclusive target: Minato.”] The meaning of this appointment was simple.
Whatever requests Minato had in the future, he could pass them to SHIELD through Black Widow.
A human messenger obtained successfully.
Because it was an order, no matter what Natasha thought about it, she could only obey.
That was one of the downsides of being part of an organization.
In reality, Natasha’s role was not limited to being a human messenger.
She was also SHIELD’s primary choice for using a honey trap.
There was good reason to believe that if sparks developed between Minato and Natasha, SHIELD would be very happy to see it happen.
After all, nothing tied a person down better than feelings.
Alex did not know about this plan.
If he did, he would definitely respond with a dismissive look.
Black Widow was indeed beautiful, but her private life was rather complicated.
Alex, who was somewhat particular about such things, felt she was not his type.
Besides, the most important thing right now was increasing his role-playing progress and strengthening himself.
Things like romance could wait.
Of course, if it were something like a one-night stand or a casual relationship, Alex wouldn’t refuse.
However, he couldn’t use Minato’s appearance.
It would have to be his own face.
If he used Minato’s appearance to sleep with a woman, then who was actually sleeping with her?
Alex or Minato?
There was no way to sort that out.
It might even result in the achievement of “cucking himself.” Combined with his personal preferences, Alex intended to avoid that situation.
Vroom!
The sports car’s engine roared.
Seeing that Alex was simply sitting quietly in the passenger seat, Natasha asked, “Mr.
Namikaze, what are you planning to do now?” “My orders are to stay with you throughout the mission until it’s completed.
If you need anything, please feel free to tell me.” Alex raised an eyebrow, “Anything at all?” He deliberately showed a somewhat suggestive look.
Natasha felt uncomfortable all over.
After a long silence, she finally replied, “Yes.” Those words had taken all the resolve she could gather.
She understood her role.
“Good.
I’ve been a little short on money lately.
Does SHIELD have any missions with decent rewards that you can assign to me?”, Alex said it as if it had just occurred to him.
Natasha froze.
Based on Minato’s behavior just now, even if he had suggested having sex in the car next, Natasha wouldn’t have been surprised.
She had already prepared herself for that possibility.
Yet the request turned out to be something this strange.
‘He is actually asking for missions on his own initiative.
Are ninjas all mission addicts?
The type who feel uncomfortable if they went a day without doing one?’ Natasha transmitted the unusual request back to SHIELD through the audio device on her body.
Nick Fury and the others looked at each other.
They also found Alex’s behavior a little strange.
Following Nick Fury’s instructions, Natasha asked, “Mr.
Namikaze, didn’t we just pay you ten million dollars?
How are you still short on money?” Alex let out a helpless sigh.
“I already took that ten million dollars back to the village.
That money belongs to the village.
Whatever I earn from now on is my own.” “Even though we possess great power, we Konoha ninjas are still law-abiding citizens who follow the rules.”
