The Ninja Was Unprepared
Chapter 664 The Ninja Was Unprepared
In reality, Peter and his group were overthinking things. They were advancing very cautiously, trying to find the Hand's whereabouts and also wary of possible ambushes by the Hand.
However, the Hand had not laid an ambush at all.
Or rather, the Hand hadn't had time to prepare for the ambush. After killing Daken, they were busy using rituals to wear down Daken's will, intending to brainwash him into becoming a Hand assassin.
Then spread the word, and the wolf warrior they're talking about, Logan, will definitely come to find out.
Then they can take the opportunity to kill Logan first, and then use similar methods to have Erica lure Daredevil over, luring them over one by one to kill them.
The brainwashing work isn't finished yet; they had no intention of making a move, but they've already been exposed.
Even more unbelievable was that Matt and his group weren't the only ones causing trouble for them. Meanwhile, Bullseye and the Prowler had also finished preparing and entered the tunnel from another direction. Kingpin realized something after discovering that Matt wasn't seeking his cooperation.
He quickly launched his plan, sending the two men to deal with the Hand first.
And so, the Hand, completely unaware, prepared to be beaten.
"Wait a minute... something seems wrong, there are enemies ahead."
Peter walked halfway, turned off the lights, and waved for everyone to stop. Matt listened carefully for a while, but there was no heartbeat or breathing, no footsteps, and no other sounds.
For a moment, he even wondered if Peter had made a mistake, but fortunately Peter hadn't come alone. Logan, who was standing to the side, simply sniffed the air and confirmed Peter's statement: "This kid is right, the Hand is just ahead."
Peter was so sure because he had previously acquired the Shadow Sense of Spider-Man Noir. Although he didn't know the principle behind the senses, he could construct a model of the surrounding environment in his mind.
Logan's method was even simpler; he simply smelled it.
On the contrary, Matt was completely in the dark. The Hand's setup was practically designed to counter him. These undead ninjas had no heartbeats, no breathing, and no footsteps. They were extremely dangerous assassins for others, but for Matt, these guys were completely invisible. How was he supposed to fight them?
This was also a major reason why Matt had hoped the entire Defenders League would help.
Peter and Logan, on the other hand, did not have this problem. They were even able to avoid the Hand's attacks in advance, preventing the other side from using their own methods.
"I plan to sneak over and take a look. There might be an ambush ahead. If there are no problems, then we'll go over."
Peter offered his suggestions, and Matt and Logan had no objections. Only Katie quietly asked, "Do you need my help?"
"Hmm? I don't think we need to..."
"If your invisibility could take me with you, we could definitely solve a lot of problems."
Katie muttered to herself while glancing at Peter every now and then. Peter, of course, knew what Katie was thinking. After analyzing Katie's survivability, Peter immediately took Katie with him—he used his nanosuit to help Katie become invisible.
The two quickly passed through the area ahead, bypassed the Hand ninja guarding the area, crossed the rock wall, and rapidly approached the Hand's base, thus quietly entering it.
"A lot of people..."
Listening to Katie's mutterings, Peter nodded. The space was enormous, filled with a large group of ninjas who were completely covered up, standing there motionless like hanging meat. However, Katie's next words almost made him lose his composure.
"It's completely different from what's in Naruto..."
Peter nearly tripped upon hearing this, while Katie turned around and looked at him somewhat awkwardly: "Um, what's wrong?"
"No, I just didn't expect you to like these things."
Katie hesitated, wanting to speak but then stopping herself. Actually, she hadn't cared about these things before. It was only because she had received memories from another version of herself from another universe that she was clear about Peter's preferences. So, in order to have something to talk about when the two of them met next time, she specifically went to look at them.
However... there's no need to tell Peter about this.
"What should we do? Should we take care of these ninjas here?"
Katie, trying to steer the conversation back to the main topic, seemed somewhat excited about fighting the Hand ninjas, but this simple wish was thwarted by Peter.
“We’re only here to investigate whether the Hand is here. If we’re planning an attack, we’ll have to bring Logan and Matt along. Okay, let’s go.”
Peter and Katie quickly returned to the meeting place and told Logan and Matt about the Hands, and then the two of them quickly moved on.
This may not be the Hand's headquarters in New York yet, but now that we've found it, we're not going anywhere!
As a result, something unexpected happened. When they arrived, they discovered that they were not the only guests there.
The Wanderer and Bullseye had already charged into the monster horde to fight it off. For the two of them, this huge group of undead was a rare and wonderful place to vent their violence.
So much so that when Peter and his team arrived, the system froze for several seconds before they could react. After carefully observing the battle, Peter was fairly certain that this group was no match for the Hand.
Or perhaps they never expected such a small group to take down the Hand, unless Peter was also part of their game.
"What do we do? Should we go and beat up the Hand with these guys first, or take them all out with us?"
Peter asked Daredevil for his opinion, and after some hesitation, Matt decided to help Kingpin's men fight the Hands first.
So the heroes rushed forward to fight the enemy. At this point, the Wanderer, who had been comparing himself to the Hand, uttered a sarcastic remark.
"Damn it, you're finally here! I was planning to run away if you hadn't come soon."
“I’m sorry, Wanderer, you are also one of the people I plan to send to prison.”
Peter landed on a Hand ninja, and after confirming that the man was incapacitated, he continued beating up the other ninjas.
When faced with Spider-Man's provocation, the Prowler simply shrugged; he didn't believe in such nonsense.
It's important to know that this operation was personally planned by Kingpin.
