Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 744 Earth Has Reasons to Join Akatsuki!

The Battle of New York has ended.

After the Akatsuki defeated the Chitauri, this massive alien army left the planet, giving the impression that the organization was there to do good deeds without expecting anything in return.

At least that's what Tony Stark thinks.

This was an organization his father, Howard Stark, had once joined, and his father had also mentioned Akatsuki in a letter he left him.

Tony Stark knew relatively more about the Akatsuki organization, which had used a black hole to teleport away from Earth, and then looked at Uehara Naraku, who was full of doubt.

"Uehara, you're still unaware of Akira's situation, aren't you?"

Tony Stark patted Uehara Naraku on the shoulder, his eyes slightly complicated: "You're really lucky... Do you need me to introduce you to the Akatsuki?"

Tony Stark's feelings were truly complicated.

When members of the Akatsuki descended to Earth to deliver a message to him, Tony Stark was still somewhat arrogant and didn't quite respect this organization that looked down on him...

As a result of the Battle of New York...

Xiao's army swept away the Chitauri with overwhelming force.

Tony Stark was starting to feel a desire to have more interaction with this organization. The information he gleaned from his father's last letter made him want to learn something from the Akatsuki.

Especially the legendary leader of the Akatsuki organization, who even filled his father, Howard Stark, with admiration…

Now, Tony Stark has witnessed the Akatsuki's senior executives inviting their comrade Uehara Naraku to join Akatsuki before they leave, which makes Tony feel somewhat regretful.

"what?"

A hint of confusion appeared on Uehara Naraku's face at just the right moment. He hesitated for a moment, looked at Tony Stark, and slowly nodded: "Okay... I still don't quite understand... what exactly does this Akatsuki organization do, and Director Fury also asked me to join it."

this moment…

Uehara Naraku felt a pang of conscience.

Tony Stark was really fooled by him... He actually gave the leader of Akatsuki information about Akatsuki?

This is really...

This is so heartwarming.

Perhaps we can get some information from Tony Stark about this playboy's impression of the Akatsuki? That way, we can also determine if our plan has been successful.

and…

In the future, based on Tony Stark's impressions, the Akatsuki organization can be gradually decorated to resemble what he desires, gaining more trust from Tony Stark and the Avengers.

of course.

Uehara Naraku couldn't help but wonder if he should keep the fact that he was the leader of Akatsuki to himself.

Before the true ending arrives, it's necessary to give the impression that he gradually became the leader of Akatsuki, rather than being the leader from the very beginning...

Otherwise, someone might die.

And when this moment inevitably comes to light in the future, it would be best to have Pepper schedule a medical check-up for Tony Stark, lest his heart can't take it... wait, there's still a fragment in Tony Stark's chest, and his heart wasn't exactly healthy to begin with!

Given Tony Stark's pride, if he ever learned the truth, he would certainly be too ashamed to appear before Uehara Naraku...

"Alright, the war is over."

Nick Fury's voice came through their communication channel. He continued softly, "I'll be in New York soon. Let's find a place to talk... We have to talk, and I happen to know some news about Xiao."

"There's one more thing!"

Nick Fury contacted Uehara Naraku again and gave his order: "Agent Uehara Naraku, you should have retrieved the Tesseract by now, right?"

"Don't hand it over to anyone before I get to New York, no matter which general or secretary general sent it!"

"Yes."

Uehara Naraku slowly nodded.

"Thank you everyone for saving this crisis."

After expressing his gratitude solemnly, Nick Fury continued, "Captain Rogers, Agent Patton, Agent Romanov, please continue to lead the rescue operation from where you are. All field agents will follow your orders..."

The war caused considerable losses.

The entire Manhattan district of New York became a battlefield, and naturally, some casualties and accidents were inevitable, with many people trapped under the rubble.

Steve Rogers volunteered to take charge of the rescue, and Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton naturally chose to obey Nick Fury's orders.

These two top agents had some vague suspicions in their minds...

With the threat of war from outer space over, S.H.I.E.L.D. must now re-examine Captain America, Steve Rogers, the superhero who is now a suspect…

Before S.H.I.E.L.D. has fully investigated Captain America Steve Rogers, he cannot be allowed to know some highly confidential information...

As for the Hulk, this uncontrollable behemoth, he reverted to the appearance of Dr. Bruce Banner after the war ended. However, Dr. Bruce Banner had to temporarily leave the bustling city center to go back and rest.

new York.

Inside a closed restaurant.

Naraku Uehara and Tony Stark appeared here, and Thor also brought his brother Loki to the party.

Loki was originally supposed to be detained and interrogated by the S.H.I.E.L.D. field agents, but Thor refused on behalf of Asgard, as he did not want to see Earthlings interrogating an Asgardian prince.

Thor had another reason: only by personally guarding his brother could he prevent Loki from escaping through trickery; only he could guarantee that Loki wouldn't run away…

This person is really confident...

Uehara Naraku couldn't help but glance at Tohru.

Thor is a total brother-obsessed guy!

Coincidentally, Uehara Naraku's favorite type of characters is those with brother complexes or sibling fetishes. The bonds they form mean they are easily manipulated...

However, Thor is a little different.

When Loki clashes with what is considered justice, Thor seems to side with justice, even forcing his brother Loki to do the same…

This brother-obsessed guy is still a bit lacking.

There was some liveliness around the dining table.

There were only four of them, but they were discussing two topics, occasionally chiming in on each other's conversations, making for a very lively discussion.

"Remember to apologize to your father when you get back."

Thor, holding a large glass of beer, gulped it down, glancing back at his brother every now and then: "Mother's been feeling down. Loki, remember not to make us angry or worried. You're my only brother..."

"But I also have an older sister."

Loki's words silenced Thor completely.

Loki, the legendary Norse god of mischief, watched his brother choke on his beer and couldn't help but grin: "How lucky, at least I don't only have one brother..."

"The identity of that woman named Hela is still uncertain!"

Thor downed his beer in one gulp and continued nonchalantly, "We've lived in Asgard for so long, have you ever heard of Hela?"

"Perhaps it's because Odin kept this a secret?"

Loki glanced at his brother, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Hmph, Odin always likes to hide the truth..."

For example, his own background.

Before the truth was revealed, Loki always believed that Odin and Queen Frigga were his biological parents and longed for their approval...

Loki has always enjoyed the selfless maternal love of his adoptive mother, Queen Frigga, and even inherited Frigga's magic. The witch truly treated him as her son.

This often caused Loki to lose his composure. On the one hand, he acted indifferent towards Odin's family, while on the other hand, he longed to do something to impress Odin and Frigga.

Perhaps it's just a habit.

Perhaps it's for other reasons.

Perhaps it's because they want to find meaning in their existence.

In short, obtaining the throne remains Loki's greatest desire.

After Loki led the Chitauri to defeat, he placed his hopes for ascending the throne of Asgard on Hela, the goddess of death.

"I hope we'll have the chance to meet our older sister."

A mocking smile flickered across Loki's lips as he murmured, "Heh, hopefully Odin won't be hiding the truth anymore when we return to Asgard..."

"We don't have a sister."

Thor suddenly leaned forward, grabbed Loki's shoulder, and chuckled, "I only have one younger brother, you only have one older brother..."

"idiot…"

Loki rubbed his forehead.

Tony Stark glanced at Thor and Loki, who were chatting animatedly, and couldn't resist interjecting, "Hey, Thor, you two might actually have a sister... Loki's scepter, wasn't it stolen?"

"Believe me, Loki is a master of deception."

Thor shook his head and poured himself another large glass of beer.

"Loki is right."

"You do have an older sister."

"Furthermore, your sister is hiding somewhere on Earth, and has even secretly developed Hydra as her henchmen..."

"The enemy information we received on the space carrier indicates that they are supposedly Hydra under Hela's command, and it was they who released Loki on the space carrier."

A man's voice came from outside the door.

As Nick Fury slowly walked into the restaurant, he began explaining about Hela, the Goddess of Death: "My latest intelligence indicates that our war is not over yet. Hydra, under Hela's command, has begun a new operation..."

Yes.

The Battle of New York is not over yet.

Many Hydra agents have emerged around the world, secretly searching for Hela, which is giving Nick Fury a headache. Is another interstellar war about to break out?

Loki hasn't left yet...

Hela quickly filled in...

Can't these Asgardian princes and princesses just calm down? Why are they causing trouble in such a small place as Earth?

Compared to the Chitauri invaders led by Loki, once their intelligence was gathered, they weren't actually that difficult to deal with...

however…

Hydra, under the command of Hela, the Goddess of Death, has infiltrated various departments around the world, including S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra's arch-rival, which still has a considerable number of spies within its ranks…

This is what gives Nick Fury a real headache.

Hela, the goddess of death, is even more difficult to deal with than Loki!

Therefore, before Nick Fury discussed the Akatsuki's information with Uehara Naraku and Tony Stark, he needed to finalize one thing: the relationship between Asgard and Hela!

Or rather...

Nick Fury needs to know whether Asgard will support Hela's actions on Earth, and whether Asgard can help capture Hela, just as they did with Loki...

Thor's face remained blank, but he downed another beer in one gulp before speaking, "When I get back to my father, I'll ask him about Hela, the goddess of death. Asgard and Earth have a long-standing friendship..."

"But before that..."

Thor looked at Naraku Uehara and said earnestly, "We must use the Tesseract to rebuild the Rainbow Bridge to ensure unimpeded communication between Asgard and Earth... and..."

Thor sighed slowly, "The Tesseract has awakened. If it remains on Earth, sooner or later Earth will face an enemy you simply cannot confront..."

As long as the Cosmic Cube exists on Earth, perhaps one day someone will capture the gamma rays radiating outward from the Cosmic Cube and converge them to form a new spatial channel…

therefore.

The Tesseract is safest in Asgard.

"Agent Uehara"

Nick Fury gave Thor a long look before casually saying, "The Tesseract should be with you, right? Give it to Thor for safekeeping..."

Nick Fury showed absolutely no regrets.

Because Nick Fury also realized the true situation, and since Earth was not yet fully prepared to deal with those powerful alien invaders in the universe, they had no choice but to entrust the Tesseract to their Asgardian allies for safekeeping.

And it seems that the Tesseract must be handed over to Asgard first, otherwise Thor and Loki will have to stay on Earth...

"Yes, sir."

Uehara Naraku took out a smaller version of the Cosmic Cube, placed it on the table in front of them, and said softly, "It seems to have changed a bit, it should still work..."

Of course it can still be used.

The true core of the Cosmic Cube is the Space Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones in the universe, and also the most powerful and abundant stone in terms of energy in the entire universe.

The reason it takes the form of a Tesseract is simply because the Space Stone has released too much energy over a long period of time, giving it an additional layer of Tesseract-like protection...

"Alright, then Loki and I will head back to Asgard first."

Thor nodded, took the Tesseract from the table, glanced at the people present, and said softly, "I will report to my father about Hela immediately..."

After saying this, Thor grabbed his brother Loki, took the Tesseract and transformed it into the Rainbow Bridge, disappearing before their eyes.

"alright."

After watching Thor and Loki disappear, Nick Fury turned his gaze to Uehara Naraku and Tony: "Let's talk about Akatsuki... There's a reason why someone on Earth must join the Akatsuki organization."

good night.
