Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 729 The Akatsuki Army Stationed in Outer Space!

The discussions between Nick Fury and the Akatsuki organization did not go smoothly.

Strictly speaking, the Akatsuki organization unilaterally issued an ultimatum to S.H.I.E.L.D., stating that their army would remain on the outskirts of Earth within 24 hours.

If S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers fail to retrieve the Tesseract, the Akatsuki's army will descend upon Earth to confront the Chitauri. This is not a matter for negotiation!

"All right."

Nick Fury suppressed his agitation and said softly, "Regarding the Akatsuki's army remaining outside Earth's atmosphere, I need to report to my superiors and try to mediate as much as possible..."

"It doesn't matter."

The mysterious masked man's single eye gleamed with an eerie red light as he coldly stated, "Once the Chitauri arrive, this place will become a battlefield between Akatsuki and the Chitauri."

"Sorry, we probably don't need it..."

"This is not a discussion; we have already given them enough time."

The mysterious masked man slowly shook his head and calmly continued, "When a lion fights a jackal, it has no way of considering the thoughts of the ants beneath its feet..."

This sentence sounds familiar.

Nick Fury's expression grew increasingly grim, and even Tony Stark's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. Wasn't this America's attitude towards the world's less developed regions?

"There's no need to make that face."

The masked man stood up, observing their expressions: "Akatsuki is an organization that upholds peace; we will not interfere with the invasion of any planet without cause..."

As the masked man finished speaking, he habitually added, "Any war waged without the Akatsuki's consent is an illegal war..."

"..."

Nick Fury was at a loss for words. How could this cosmic mercenary organization sound even more domineering than them?

"I hope you can hurry."

The mysterious masked man vanished in a spatial vortex, leaving behind his last words: "The Akatsuki army will soon descend... This is the Akatsuki's reward for their research into the Cosmic Cube, and it is also the Akatsuki's last act of helping Earth."

"..."

Nick Fury's hand suddenly clenched.

What exactly did Howard Stark do?

Is the Akatsuki organization Howard Stark's last resort to protect Earth? The members of this organization are a bit too domineering...

These people from beyond the universe…

Their attitude towards Earth is really unpleasant!

"Immediately locate Loki and the Tesseract!"

Nick Fury slammed his fist on the table, glanced at Tony Stark with a complex expression, and said in a deep voice, "We absolutely cannot let Earth become a battlefield between two alien forces!"

The Revenge Squad is such a handful!

Tony Stark has secret ties to an alien organization, and Steve Rogers is suspected of having served Hitler.

Only Dr. Bruce Banner is somewhat normal...

The Akatsuki organization keeps its word.

Just as Nick Fury returned to the command center, a series of satellite images had already captured photos of part of the atmosphere, sending a chill down one's spine!

"Sir, these are photos taken by satellites outside the atmosphere!"

Nick Fury had just returned to the command center when he received a bunch of photos, and looking at them made his eyes twitch involuntarily!

Hundreds of people dressed in black robes with auspicious cloud patterns and with strange appearances.

Some of these people looked human, but their skin was pale, their faces were cold and indifferent, and each of them had a strange knife hanging from their waist!

This group of people seemed to not need to breathe air at all, just standing directly in space outside the atmosphere, and they didn't look like guys to be messed with!

Compared to them...

Standing behind them were thousands upon thousands of hideous monsters!

Each monster was extremely rudimentary in appearance, its body, tens of meters tall, was entirely black, with only a hideous and empty face on its head, quite resembling the legendary Grim Reaper…

The Hueco Mundo army under the Akatsuki organization!

Above this large army floated six seats carved from meteorites, each occupied by a group of strange and unusual people, all of whom appeared to be men in high positions…

These guys must be members of the Akatsuki organization.

The first man wore a black robe with auspicious cloud patterns, belonging to the Akatsuki organization, underneath which he wore a red armor like a samurai. He had spiky black hair and a carefree smile on his face as he looked contemptuously at the Earth enveloped by the atmosphere.

Madara Uchiha, a man who has lived through three worlds!

The second man was also wearing a black robe with auspicious cloud patterns, and underneath he wore a similar red armor. Beneath his smooth hair was a gentle smile.

Hashirama Senju, a powerful figure on par with Madara Uchiha!

The third man, dressed in a deliberately made black robe adorned with auspicious cloud patterns and wearing a medieval-style triangular captain's hat, laughed heartily at the people around him.

One Piece, Gol D. Roger!

The fourth man was a tall giant, holding a long, large halberd, with a white crescent-shaped beard on his face, and he was also grinning.

Whitebeard, Edward Newgate!

The fifth man was an elderly man, leaning on a wooden cane. He had long eyebrows and a beard, and looked quite serene. He sat in his seat with his eyes closed, resting.

Captain-Commander-in-Chief of the Death Slayers, Shigekuni Yamamoto!

The sixth man was a rather handsome young man with a stylish spiky hairstyle, narrow eyes staring at the Earth's atmosphere, and a cold smile on his lips, which made him look dangerous.

Lord of Hueco Mundo, Aizen Sousuke!

These powerful figures are all treasures of Uehara Naraku. This is their first appearance in the Marvel world. From now on, they will act under the name of Akatsuki!

Nick Fury, of course, didn't recognize any of these guys; he naturally assumed that the men sitting on the Empty Throne were all Akatsuki executives…

to be honest…

This army, operating outside the atmosphere, put Nick Fury under immense pressure. The very fact that they could remain in a vacuum and under ultraviolet radiation for extended periods meant that their strength far surpassed that of any army on Earth…

For Earth…

This is an army composed almost entirely of superheroes!

Nick Fury wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and glanced at the agent beside him: "How did they get here? Did satellite surveillance capture their movements?"

"Yes...yes..."

The agents immediately retrieved the video footage.

In the video.

A pitch-black hole appeared out of nowhere.

Six men sitting on the Void Thrones passed through the black hole and were the first to stop in space. A group of Hollows dressed in black robes with auspicious clouds led thousands of ordinary Hollows out.

Just as a satellite was orbiting past the army, several ordinary Hollows opened their mouths, and red Cero flashes transformed into lasers that instantly pierced the unfortunate satellite!

Nick Fury's fist trembled slightly. Those crudely-looking thugs alone could unleash a single blow with the power of a missile...

If that were all, Nick Fury could still remain somewhat calm. However, the next scene made Nick Fury's eyes widen involuntarily!

No one knows what the first arrogant man said, but the old man sitting on the throne suddenly opened his eyes, slowly drew a knife, and a ball of flame suddenly appeared on the knife!

The old man suddenly swung his sword at a group of satellites around them, and a blazing flame at least tens of kilometers long swept over them, instantly turning many satellites into nothingness!

This is…

Is it Xiao's army?
