He was selling gashapon toys in Marvel Studios, and at the beginning, Tony turned into Kuuga.

The Mizukage Building, along with its three underground ninjutsu archives and the adjacent training grounds.

It was reduced to ruins by a single blow from the frost behemoth.

The shockwave sent debris and chilling air swirling in all directions, causing the entire Hidden Mist Village to tremble.

Barton jumped down from the height and landed next to Coulson, putting away his bow.

"Coulson, I think we can start moving things now."

Coulson nodded and took out the map of the ninja village's supplies that Li Ang had given him from his pocket.

"The ninja tool storehouse is on the second basement level of the East District, and the entrance to the chakra metal ore vein is behind the north mountain wall."

He glanced at the frost behemoth that was strolling through Kirigakure, crushing several buildings with every step it took, and the Kirigakure ninjas were desperately scattering.

"We have six hours, that should be enough."

Mei Terumi stood there, watching her village fall in less than three minutes. She opened her mouth, but no words came out.

Her prized elixir was restored to mud and water right before her eyes.

Her elite Seven Ninja Troops were paralyzed with fear by the aura of a summoning beast before they could even make a move.

Her Water Shadow Building was smashed to pieces with a single slap.

Natasha walked past her and casually snatched the Water Shadow Token from her waist.

"I need to borrow this place to open the vault."

……

At the same time, in Sunagakure Village.

In the desert of the Land of Wind, yellow sand fills the sky, and the sun is scorching.

Banner stood outside the high walls of Sunagakure, wearing a sun hat that appeared out of nowhere, and holding a string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand.

Standing beside him were two rogue cultivators from the All-Knowing Sect, and three ordinary agents sent by S.H.I.E.L.D.

This is a team that doesn't look strong, and is even a bit shabby.

"Dr. Banner, confirm the attack plan." The agent held up a tablet and pointed it at him.

"No plan," Banner said flatly. "Go in, get your things, and come out."

"What if someone stops us?"

Banner fell silent. "Then let's pray for his soul to be released from suffering."

The Sand Village reacted much faster than expected.

As soon as Banner reached the foot of the city wall, a sandstorm descended from above.

That's the signature attack method of the Sand Village ninjas, using the inexhaustible sand of the Land of Wind as weapons.

Banner didn't even lift his eyelids.

A pale golden halo shone around him, and the tattered brocade robe automatically unfolded and covered his shoulders.

A flash of light appeared, and all the sand that was falling stopped two meters away from him.

It hovered for a second, then seemed to be pushed aside by an invisible force, splitting into two streams.

The Sand Village ninjas on the city wall looked at each other in bewilderment.

Then Banner raised his right hand and pressed it against the ten-meter-high city wall.

Cracks spread from his palm in all directions.

Three seconds later, a section of the city wall collapsed.

Gravel and dust rolled down the ground, revealing the streets of Sunagakure Village behind the city walls.

Banner went through the gap.

He wasn't fast; his pace was even a bit slow. But the oppressive aura of golden Buddhist light emanating from him made all the ninjas who tried to approach instinctively back away.

"Notify me once you've found the ninja tool vault and the treasure trove," Banner said to the agent behind him. "I'm off to take care of a minor problem."

The "minor problem" he mentioned soon came to light.

The ground suddenly began to shake violently.

A deafening roar came from the direction of the arena in the center of Sunagakure.

Banner looked up.

A huge, sandy tail shot into the sky from the buildings and thrashed wildly.

Driven by some force, a large amount of sand coalesced and took shape, forming a terrifying raccoon-like behemoth.

Shukaku with a single tail.

"That Jinchūriki went berserk?" Banner narrowed his eyes.

The agent's urgent voice came through the communicator: "Doctor! The tailed beast's energy level is skyrocketing! It seems to have sensed the intruder's intrusion, and the Jinchuriki's mental defenses have collapsed!"

The sand-colored behemoth has taken shape.

The over 30-meter-tall Shukaku opened its mouth, and wind bullets condensed inside.

Its maniacal laughter echoed throughout the entire Sunagakure village.

"Hahahaha! Finally out!! I suppressed that brat's consciousness!!"

Shukaku's voice was so loud it could shatter the windows of nearby buildings.

It glanced at the ninjas scattering like ants at its feet and laughed maniacally.

"Kneel down before me, all of you!!"

Banner stood three hundred meters away, looking at the giant beast, a vein throbbing on his forehead.

"Doctor? Do you need support?" came the voice on the communicator.

Banner took off his sun hat, folded it neatly, and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Need not."

He put his hands together in prayer position.

Golden light surged from his body, like a vast golden ocean.

His brocade robe fluttered in the wind, and his prayer beads floated beside him, each bead shining with dazzling golden light.

Then Banner's body began to swell.

Ten meters, twenty meters, fifty meters.

A colossal golden figure rose from the ruins of Sunagakure.

The 100-meter-tall golden Buddha statue has lowered eyes, a solemn and dignified appearance, a mudra in its right hand, and a bead in its left.

The vast Buddhist light enveloped half of Sunagakure Village.

Shukaku was making a lot of noise when it suddenly felt a sense of oppression coming from behind that made its soul tremble.

It turned around.

Then it saw the giant golden Buddha looking down at it.

The sound effect of Shukaku's laughter got stuck in his throat.

"You...you...you...you..."

"Namo Amaterasu".

Banner's voice came from the golden Buddha's mouth, echoing, deep and peaceful, yet it made the sand in the entire desert tremble.

"Sir, you are too noisy."

Shukaku turned and ran.

The 30-meter-tall sand-colored behemoth took off running wildly, its eight thick sand tails flapping frantically.

"Don't come any closer! You monk, stay away from me!!"

Banner's golden Buddha extends its right hand.

A Sanskrit symbol lit up in his palm.

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon".

As the voice faded, a golden palm print descended from the sky.

That was not a physical attack.

That was a multi-layered suppression at the spiritual, soul, and conceptual levels.

The palm print landed on Shukaku's back.

The thirty-meter-tall sand-colored behemoth seemed to have been crashed down from the sky by a train traveling at 300 kilometers per hour, its four limbs sinking into the ground. The entire Sand Village trembled.

"Ughhhhhh!!"

Shukaku let out the most agonizing scream of his life.

The golden light of Buddha was purifying the violence and resentment that had accumulated within it for hundreds of years.

It felt its soul being peeled away layer by layer, with the dark, crazy, and bloodthirsty parts being forcibly stripped away.

pain.

The excruciating pain of having one's soul dug out from its depths.

"No...please stop purifying...master!"

Shukaku lay in the pit, its sandy body shrinking continuously, from thirty meters to twenty meters, and then to ten meters.

Two lines of tears rolled down its cheeks on its hideous face.

Tears made of sand grains.

"I was wrong! I'll never cause trouble again!"

"I'll follow you in my spiritual practice, okay?! I'll chant scriptures! I'll be a vegetarian! I'll do anything!!"
