Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 703 A person shouldn't be... at least not this arrogant.

Nick Fury desperately wants to have a team of superheroes.

Nick Fury became fascinated with the powers of superhumans—those who could solve any unusual problem—after meeting a woman named Carol Danvers when he was young and naive.

of course.

This superhero team must be kept under control.

These extraordinary superheroes must all have very distinct personalities.

The only way to control the direction of this superhero team is through guidance, which means infiltrating the team with some spies from S.H.I.E.L.D....

This allows for constant monitoring of the squad's movements.

One of the most troublesome problems is getting the highly individualistic superheroes to accept the presence of S.H.I.E.L.D. among them, rather than resenting their identities as observers.

Nick Fury has a very high opinion of Naraku Uehara.

Nick Fury believes that Uehara Naraku is the most likely to fit into the superhero team. This somewhat lazy and eccentric guy might be a better fit than Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton.

This is a great opportunity.

Nick Fury sat at his desk and slowly snapped his fingers, instructing his agents to break their hands and create a new identity for Uehara Naraku within an hour.

The identity of a secret agent.

A brand new story has been born.

According to Nick Fury, Uehara Naraku was a former FBI agent who, in an attempt to save an innocent civilian, killed a group of terrorists without authorization, nearly delaying his mission.

In the end, Uehara Naraku was fired by the FBI director, who was insane, for ignoring regulations.

of course.

The incident actually happened.

The person was saved by Uehara Naraku, and the terrorists were also dealt with by Uehara Naraku. The only problem is that Uehara Naraku was assigned by S.H.I.E.L.D. at the time...

"I understand the logic..."

Uehara Naraku looked at his new file and stroked his chin: "Why is it the FBI director who's mentally unstable in this story, instead of the CIA director?"

"Because the FBI director wants to steal our funding this year..."

"Did you manage to snag one?"

"Of course I didn't manage to get one."

Nick Fury looked at the story his subordinates had fabricated with satisfaction and continued slowly, "But that guy actually tried to steal S.H.I.E.L.D.'s funding this year; he must have lost his mind."

"You're right."

Uehara Naraku readily complied, watching as his new stories were quietly added to the online database in batches: "Hmm, I hope Mr. Tony Stark will like this story."

To be honest, this story is a bit cliché.

Compared to Uehara Naraku's past stories, they are somewhat monotonous and simple.

Forget it.

Anyway, even more exciting stories are always at Uehara Naraku's fingertips, so let Nick Fury arrange this fictional story as he sees fit!

Washington.

Tony Stark also has a villa here.

Just as Uehara Naraku had guessed, Tony Stark was very curious about Uehara Naraku's skills and immediately had the artificial intelligence Jarvis search for all of Uehara Naraku's information when he got home.

The information is very fragmented.

For example, news articles about state dignitaries visiting other countries will occasionally feature Uehara Naraku maintaining order;

For example, Uehara Naraku's image would occasionally appear on news pages about the destruction of a group of terrorists or gangs.

until…

Tony Stark infiltrated the FBI's internal network for 15 seconds, stole information on Uehara Naraku, and believed he had uncovered Uehara Naraku's life story.

Tony Stark pieced together a rough outline of Uehara Naraku's early life: "Hmm... an agent who got fired from the FBI for saving someone?"

This identity is a bit complicated.

Tony Stark was rather indifferent to FBI agents, but he was slightly interested in the dismissed agent, especially since this agent had a good background.

No matter what...

Uehara Naraku was indeed a good person.

At least Tony Stark believes that people like Uehara Naraku should not be fired, but should instead be active in protecting ordinary people.

"Has the FBI director lost his mind...?"

Tony Stark did not have any further doubts.

Because he knows enough that he knows what he wants to know.

Tony Stark tapped his finger lightly on the virtual screen, connecting to Uehara Naraku's phone. He took a sip of vegetable juice and slowly said, "Hello, Uehara, can you recognize who I am?"

"..."

There was an eerie silence on the other end of the phone for a second, then a calm man's voice came through: "As for the money, just transfer it to my original salary card."

"…puff!"

Tony Stark couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of vegetable juice. Why did every conversation between him and Uehara Naraku make him feel a little heartbroken?

This guy…

Can't we have a serious chat?

Tony Stark couldn't help but rub his temples. "Don't make it sound like we're doing some shady deal. I'm not talking about money..."

"Are you trying to renege on your debt?"

"A person's life shouldn't be just about money!"

Tony Stark shook his head with a headache and quickly said to the man on the other end of the phone, "I'll transfer the money to you right away..."

Thank you for your patronage. See you again sometime.

"etc…"

Upon hearing that Uehara Naraku was about to hang up, Tony Stark quickly stopped him and continued, "Uehara, do you have time to talk about your work?"

"I don't need to work."

Uehara Naraku chuckled on the other end of the phone: "Why would I need to work when Mr. Stark sends me $100,000 every month..."

"I found it."

Tony Stark interrupted Uehara Naraku, continuing softly, "Those things you did before... the internet actually remembers them... well, it's just hidden quite deep... interested in talking about your work?"

Tony Stark doesn’t believe that Uehara Naraku, a former agent, would continue to live a muddled life for a mere $100,000!

Since they hadn't yet uncovered Uehara Naraku's first layer of identity, Tony naturally assumed that Uehara Naraku was still wallowing in self-pity over being fired from the FBI...

That being said...

When this guy was fired by the FBI director, he was filled with self-pity. Why was he slacking off and playing video games while working at Stark Industries? Was that appropriate?

Isn't this a bit bullying?

If Tony Stark hadn't known that Uehara Naraku was a good person, he really wouldn't have wanted to continue talking to him...

Just as Tony Stark was feeling down, he heard Uehara Naraku's displeased voice. Uehara Naraku's unhappiness piqued Tony Stark's interest again!

"You investigated me?"

"A little bit…"

Tony Stark certainly wouldn't mention that he hacked into the FBI's internal network to find out about Uehara Naraku's past; that would be a hassle for him too.

"Just a little bit..."

Tony Stark continued slowly, "Well... the current FBI Director Robert is an idiot... he actually fired you..."

"Didn't you fire me too?"

"This is different!"

Tony Stark's voice rose a few decibels, his tone becoming increasingly firm as he addressed the matter: "We all know the difference. If you work diligently at Stark Industries..."

"It's too late."

Uehara Naraku's voice remained calm, but there seemed to be a hint of weariness and regret in his tone: "Anyway, forget what happened tonight... I'm just an ordinary person."

After saying that, Uehara Naraku hung up the phone.

Tony Stark frowned slightly; he hadn't even had a chance to express his thoughts before Uehara Naraku cut him off.

Forget it.

We'll talk about it another time.

Perhaps we can leave this matter to Pepper to handle.

Tony Stark slowly placed his hand on the energy reactor on his chest, a hint of despair in his expression. He couldn't even cure his palladium poisoning; he could only quietly await his death…

He hasn't even solved his own problems yet!

On the other end of the phone.

Uehara Naraku slowly put down his phone.

Nick Fury nodded in satisfaction and began to lecture his subordinates: "Good, that's it. Now is not the time for you to meet again..."

"How so?"

"Do you think Iron Man needs bodyguards? No, or rather, what does he need right now to help his companions?"

"Unless an emergency occurs..."

"good."

Nick Fury nodded slowly, tapping his fingers lightly on the table: "You'll only meet when he encounters some dangerous or unexpected situation..."

Will Iron Man encounter dangerous situations?

"Iron Man probably wouldn't."

Nick Fury shook his head, his eyes darkening slightly. "But... given Tony's personality, he'll definitely encounter more dangerous situations!"

Guys with the surname Stark…

They're got an adventurous spirit in their bones!

Especially given Tony Stark's palladium poisoning, a smart and arrogant guy who thinks he's beyond help is bound to encounter many dangerous situations in the future!

As Nick Fury predicted, things turned out just as he had expected.

During this month, Tony Stark did a few decent things: he presided over the opening of the Stark Industries Expo, spreading the seeds of technology, and incidentally, before his death, he bequeathed a portion of his fortune to certain green organizations.

However, Tony Stark remained true to his flamboyant personality.

During a public hearing demanding he hand over his Iron Man suit, he thoroughly ridiculed a senator and also took a jab at his business rival, Justin Hammer.

At that hearing, Tony Stark truly unleashed his sharp tongue to the fullest extent. If Justin Hammer hadn't been so cowardly, he probably might have hired someone to kill him afterward...

The senator Tony mocked at the hearing was a high-ranking Hydra executive. The real purpose of the hearing was for Hydra to manipulate public opinion and seize Tony Stark's Iron Man suit technology...

Unfortunately…

Tony Stark's eloquence and sharp tongue allowed him to turn the tide in this public hearing.

Uehara Naraku watched the entire hearing, his palms slowly closing as he watched Tony Stark on television, using his words to utterly humiliate everyone else.

"Sigh... one shouldn't be... at least not this arrogant..."
