[Pentagon, Washington DC, US: 22:39]

A man sat in his chair leaning back on it slightly while going through several files on his MacBook. A piece of black tape was over the built-in webcam of the portable computer. It was normal except for the OS which was different than the usual Mac OS X 14.2 Arctic Fox; the outlay was white with blue hints and several icon differences along with programs not native to current MacBooks.

The man was 5'11 with an average build and dark brown eyes. His hair was dark with hints of grey around his side burns. His suit was a dark navy blue with a baby blue dress shirt and red pattern tie. Next to his breast pocket was a name tag that read 'J. Carter' and underneath it was his title: 'Head Secretary of Defense."

His smile was small but left one to wander of why. But it was revealed as the files he was looking at were of a person with a dark coat, a white mask that had a horizontal slit smile, and two twin tanto in hand. The screen then switched to a security video of the masked person in combat with a rogue mercenary. As one tried to kick the masked person, he leaned back and caught his foot. Taking the advantage, the masked stranger brought his elbow down hard on the mercenary's leg almost completely shattering his femur. Said mercenary was in too much pain to realize that his cloaked opponent had him in a choke hold, incapacitating him into unconsciousness.

The video ended when the masked person threw one of his tantos at the security camera, causing the video to end with monotone static.

Carter's hand went to his pocket as he produced an ultra-slim smartphone to make a call, "Yes, this is Jordan Carter."

"So what do you think of our new recruit?"

"He is a splendid candidate, but his attitude is brash and uncontrollable. We cannot persuade him into complete our objectives, no matter the moral of the outcome."

"He is skilled but naive. She was like him when you first recruited her, all we must do is talk to him nicely and see if a little push can allow him to understand. We need him for this, there is no greater agent."

"I know I understand that but we are asking him to carry a great burden. If the boy is involved in this, it could change his life forever."

"He has the AI and her to help him, his father made it for a reason. He wanted to create a perfect world, but his attempts were cut short. I believe that he can accomplish great things."

"But you forget this is the reason his father died!"

"Dammit, you know as well as I do that Danzo wasn't the head of their operation. He was giving orders that were to be ordered of him."

"The boy has no idea what is coming, you better be right. Because if this fails, it isn't just my ass on the line. Its the whole damn world. I, as Head Secretary of Defense, nominate Naruto Namikaze for the Shatterpoint Initiative.

There is more to come my friends, the fun has just begun in the coming sequel. Muahhahahaha!
