'.....'= Thoughts

Agent Smith, the leader of the group, stepped forward and pointed his gun directly at Harry's forehead. "Enough of this nonsense, Harry," he said with a steely determination in his voice. "You know the consequences of betraying us. Quit stalling and lay down on the ground with your hands behind your head."

Harry nodded slowly, feigning compliance as he got down on his knees and placed his hands behind his head. As he lowered himself to the ground, he discreetly took out a smoke bomb from his system space which he had purchased on the spot from the system for five points.

Without wasting any time and with a swift movement, he threw the smoke bomb to the ground, releasing a cloud of smoke. In the blink of an eye, Harry's body seemed to dissolve into the swirling mist, leaving behind nothing but a lingering illusion of his presence.

He had used the smoke bomb for two reasons, one being to distract the people in front of him and the second reason was to deter any sniper from getting a proper aim at him, if a sniper was present at the site.

The agents were caught off guard for a split second, giving Harry the precious opportunity to act. From within the concealing cover of the smoke, he quickly performed the Body Replacement Technique, seamlessly swapping places with a nearby a wood log which he had place there while he was training the Body Replacement Technique.

As the smoke cleared, the agents found themselves aiming their guns at the wooden trunk, their expressions becoming even more determined as they realized Harry's attempt to deceive them.

Harry used the distraction to weave through the chaos, employing his agile Leaf Style Taijutsu to swiftly approach two of the agents and with precise strikes of his Kunai to their neck, he killed them.

The remaining agents regrouped and retaliated, their gunfire echoing through the air as they attempted to pin down Harry's elusive figure. But he was already on the move, utilizing his Clone Technique to create multiple illusory duplicates of himself that dashed in every direction, confusing the agents and making it nearly impossible for them to track the real Harry.

In the midst of the chaos, Harry seamlessly switched to his Transformation Technique, altering his appearance to resemble one of the agents. With his newfound disguise, he managed to infiltrate the group's ranks undetected, planting seeds of doubt and confusion among them as they hesitated to target their own colleague.

Taking advantage of their momentary hesitation, Harry swiftly disarmed another agent, using his mastery of close combat to swiftly neutralize his opponent.

Everyone including Agent Smith were bewildered by the unknown abilities that Harry was using. Still with many years of experience at their hand, they didn't flater and tried their best to fight Harry.

However Harry seemed to be unstoppable as he kept killing one agent after another while using the Ninja Technique in line with his Taijutsu and kunai.

Despite Agent Smith's formidable skills, Harry's determination and resourcefulness proved to be his greatest assets. With a final, decisive blow, Harry killed Agent Smith, leaving him on the ground with blood splurting out of his neck which slowly drenched his hairs.

Harry stood, panting, having exhausted almost half of his chakra reserves while fighting the agents. Although it seemed as though he had dominated the fight, he knew that the muscle memory of the body of the previous Harry, which he now occupied, had also played a very important role in the battle.

Harry had won the confrontation and that too without any scratch on his body. After he killed Agent Smith, the system panel had popped out rewarding him with 500 points.

Harry decided to ignore the reward for a while and without wasting any time he approached the Agent who he hadn't killed yet and had just knocked him unconscious. From the bit of the memories he had inherited from the previous Harry, he knew that this particular agent was a bit cowardly.

There was a low chance that he might answer a question of his. As for the rest Harry knew that they wouldn't answer anything even if they were tortured for weeks, so he could only kill them as leaving them alive means more problems for him in the future.

As he walked towards the unconscious Agent, he observed the bloodied surroundings, which he had caused. He felt a bit nauseous, but that feeling quickly drowned out by his resolve. He knew that if he were captured by them, he would definitely be killed sooner or later, and other than killing them, he had no other choice.

In any case, this wasn't the first time he had killed living beings. In his previous life, Harry had worked in his father's butcher shop. He had learned the art of cutting and preparing meat from his father, who was a skilled and experienced butcher. Harry had assisted in breaking down carcasses, cutting meat into various cuts, and preparing meat products.

Harry shook off all the unnecessary thoughts and woke up the unconscious agent with a swift kick to the ribs. The agent groaned and slowly opened his eyes, blinking in confusion and pain. Harry grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up to his feet, staring into the agent's eyes with a cold intensity.

"How did you find me?" Harry demanded, his voice low and dangerous.

The agent winced and grimaced, his breath coming in short, painful gasps. "I don't know," he admitted, his voice strained. "We received information from the higher-ups about your location. That's all I know, I swear."

"Who specifically gave you the information?" Harry pressed, his voice hard and unforgiving.

The agent shook his head weakly, his eyes darting around the blood-splattered area as if searching for an escape. "I don't know, they didn't tell me. It was just a directive from the top, orders that had to be followed. Please, you have to believe me."

"Useless," Harry sighed, swiftly retrieving the kunai from his system storage and sliced the neck of the Agent.

'Did the previous Harry accidentally leave some clues while escaping to this village? Harry thought as he was very careful during his stay in the village. The previous Harry also didn't bring any accessories with him when he escaped from HYDRA. Even the weapons provided to him by SHIELD were dumped, as he thought there might be a tracking mechanism in them.

No matter how much Harry thought, he couldn't come to a proper conclusion. So he decided to drop the matter and leave the place before the backup arrived.
