Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 723 This is not how you do espionage! You're breaking the rules!

Colson finally realized their mistake.

Uehara Naraku's mind and intelligence surpass those of anyone he has ever met!

The mere understanding and grasp of human nature was enough to send chills down the spines of Coulson and Hill, two agents who were used to seeing ruthless people!

Who would have thought that everything that happened at S.H.I.E.L.D. today was actually just to show Nick Fury those trivial documents…

When Nick Fury sees those trivial documents, he falls into a trap. He will glean two answers from them that Uehara Naraku wants to convey to him. Eliminating one obviously wrong answer leaves him with only the other…

another…

That's actually wrong too.

How could they possibly reverse the outcome under these circumstances?

Compared to Coulson, who was somewhat enthusiastic and kind, Agent Hill was more composed. She placed her hand on Coulson's shoulder.

"Coulson, calm down."

Hill gripped Coulson's shoulder, her gaze falling on Uehara Naraku, and continued softly, "Agent Uehara Naraku, I'm curious, just how many Hydra spies are there at headquarters? Why are so many following your orders this time..."

"Actually, there aren't that many, are there?"

Uehara Naraku rubbed his temples, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You've always been wary of Hydra lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D., but there's no need for this."

The entire S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't actually have many Hydra spies; including field agents and security personnel at the gate, the actual number is pitifully small…

"..."

Coulson's expression improved considerably.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps Uehara Naraku had used most of Hydra's spies to frame them?

In that case...

If Nick Fury doesn't let those trivial details limit his vision, and isn't misled by Captain America's false identity and the defection of the two agents, he might soon discover the truth.

Those Hydra spies will surely not escape either…

Agent Hill's brow remained furrowed as she pondered how much "few" meant. She didn't quite believe what Uehara Naraku had said: Hydra had infiltrated almost every department; how could there be few spies?

as predicted.

"Let me think about it carefully... it seems..."

As Uehara Naraku spoke, he looked up at Agent Hill and Coulson's expressions, a regretful smile playing on his lips: "Our personnel don't even make up more than 90% of S.H.I.E.L.D..."

"..."

Coulson's expression instantly crumbled.

Oh shit…

This sigh of relief came too soon.

There are hardly any people at all, damn it!

Is Uehara Naraku really not lying to them? Hydra has so many people inside S.H.I.E.L.D.? What kind of S.H.I.E.L.D. is this?!

Even Agent Hill, a composed woman, was somewhat embarrassed.

Agent Hill was just vaguely speculating that Hydra spies might make up about 5% to 10% of S.H.I.E.L.D., which is already quite a high percentage…

result…

Is it possible that only 10% of the staff at S.H.I.E.L.D. are actually their own people?

This is a number that would make anyone despair!

If we want to completely eliminate Hydra, it means that the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. will have to be overthrown and rebuilt, or that only by destroying S.H.I.E.L.D. can we eliminate Hydra spies!

This kind of thing...

Is it really possible to do that?

Seeing the two men's grim expressions, Uehara Naraku chuckled and advised, "So there's absolutely no need to be wary of Hydra spies..."

Yes, there's absolutely no need for it.

Unless it's broken down and rebuilt, S.H.I.E.L.D. can never be completely cleaned up.

"The entire S.H.I.E.L.D. was able to operate smoothly and grow so large largely thanks to our help..."

That's the truth.

Without Hydra spies, S.H.I.E.L.D. would be completely paralyzed.

Compared to all of these, the most troublesome thing is the last one: what will become of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal vetting process now controlled by Hydra?!

"The current internal audits seem very effective, but we've already secretly focused our audits entirely on agents who are absolutely loyal to S.H.I.E.L.D..."

"..."

Coulson's eyes were somewhat vacant.

Coulson was probably already in despair.

Even though he was a top-tier agent trained by Nick Fury, he couldn't have imagined how Nick Fury could possibly turn the tide in this situation...

"Coulson, trust our commander."

Hill squeezed Coulson's shoulder, shook his head slightly, and continued, "If it were us, we might not have the guts to break SHIELD... but our superior, once he realizes this, will be determined to rebuild SHIELD!"

Hill's way of thinking is absolutely correct.

Hill's courage is actually not as small as she claims.

Since being reassigned as the internal affairs commander, Hill has gradually learned Nick Fury's way of thinking, and she has always had her own ideas...

Indeed, just as Hill had guessed.

Once Nick Fury realizes that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been completely taken over by Hydra spies, he has no shortage of the courage to take down both S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Hydra spies!

"Agent Uehara Naraku".

Hill looked at Uehara Naraku and said in a deep voice, "Actually, there is one last real answer. Director Fury can also choose to suspect that there is a problem with the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

"Agent Uehara Naraku, didn't you consider that Director Fury wouldn't believe anyone? He's the true King of Spies! No matter how secretive you are..."

"I've thought about it, but he has to make a choice eventually."

Uehara Naraku scratched his head, smiled, and continued, "If Director Fury suspects that there's something wrong with the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., then I'll stand by his side and join him in suspecting something wrong with S.H.I.E.L.D. Do you think he'll still believe me then?"

"..."

Hill was also somewhat speechless.

How could someone do this?!

Is Uehara Naraku really a legitimate spy?

How could a real spy do such a thing?!

Shouldn't you, as the commander of Hydra, persuade Nick Fury to trust S.H.I.E.L.D.'s subordinates, so that Hydra can continue to operate in the shadows?

This is what a spy commander should be doing!

How could this guy, as the commander of the spies, side with Nick Fury when Nick Fury suspected that S.H.I.E.L.D. was full of spies?

What are you trying to do?

This is truly leaving absolutely no flaws!

If things really develop this way, even if Nick Fury does suspect something is wrong with S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, he would never suspect that Uehara Naraku is the problem...

Washington.

S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

Nick Fury hadn't thought that far ahead.

The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. had just returned when he immediately summoned several agents who had witnessed Hill and Coulson's defection for questioning, and obtained some trivial information.

Now Nick Fury finally got the answer to his first guess from all that messy, trivial information and data:

Coulson and Hill are Hydra agents.

That's pure nonsense. Nick Fury doesn't believe Coulson could be a Hydra spy at all, because he knows that Coulson, whom he personally mentored, simply doesn't have the brains for it...

As for the second answer...

Nick Fury glanced at the reports brought to him by the agents in charge of the investigation, and his dark face darkened slightly; he was in a bad mood.

Because Coulson and Hill took the German-language secret letter with them when they defected from S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, there is no concrete evidence to prove that Steve Rogers was a humanoid weapon used by Hitler to deal with Hydra, which betrayed the Third Reich...

however…

The King of Spies doesn't need to be particular about evidence when solving cases.

Nick Fury put down the numerous documents in his hands, looked at the photos of Coulson and Hill, and fell into deep thought. The defection of these two men was a huge blow to him, directly resulting in Nick Fury having almost no one to use.

This statement is somewhat biased.

Nick Fury still has at least three trump cards at his disposal.

"Hey, Agent Uehara Naraku, report back to the Delta Wing headquarters in Washington immediately. I have a very important mission to assign you..."

I went straight to bed as soon as I got home yesterday…
