Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 753 I almost forgot, I was the one who exposed your identity.

The light is shining.

While the group of Hydra leaders were still somewhat confused, Uehara Naraku suddenly shot out countless dazzling flashes of light from his fingertips, piercing directly through their bodies!

These high-ranking base leaders suffered heavy casualties!

"Kill him!"

Alexander Pierce, clutching the hole in his shoulder, gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers in the base to attack Uehara Naraku: "Kill this traitor!"

Is this jealousy?

A flame flickered at Uehara Naraku's fingertips, a smile playing on his lips: "Commander Pierce, you are all destined to be left behind by the times. You simply don't understand that only I can lead Hydra to the light... A bunch of utter trash..."

The flames suddenly expanded!

Just as the flames were about to engulf Alexander Pierce, they suddenly stopped in front of him, startling the Hydra leader so much that cold sweat broke out on his forehead!

The imminent threat made Pierce hesitant to make any rash moves!

next moment…

The flames suddenly split in two, bypassing Alexander Pierce's figure and striking a group of soldiers with guns raised around him. The explosion resounded throughout the cave base!

A group of soldiers guarding Alexander Pierce were wiped out in the blink of an eye by Uehara Naraku, without even a single cry of pain!

Near the base's emergency exit, only Alexander Pierce remained. His nostrils twitched slightly, and a bead of sweat rolled down his cheeks…

Fear slowly crept into his heart…

At that moment, Alexander Pierce remembered that his subordinate was also a superhero, and that they could completely overwhelm him in the battle.

A superhero comes to assassinate them... just as Steve Rogers once single-handedly destroyed the Red Skull faction.

"You bastard..."

Alexander Pierce slowly extended his hand and gripped the pistol at his waist tightly; it was the only weapon that gave him a sense of security.

however…

Pierce knew perfectly well what was going on.

This pistol could only offer a sliver of psychological comfort; it posed no real threat to Uehara Naraku. Death was merely a number to be counted on a watch.

"Is there any need to resist anymore?"

Uehara Naraku suddenly opened his palm, and a gravitational force burst forth, drawing the pistol from Pierce's waist into his hand. The scorching flames ignited the pistol...

Drip, drip, drip...

Sparse, bright red molten iron spilled onto the ground…

"Uehara Naraku, what do you want to do?"

Alexander Pierce's forehead twitched, but he forced himself to remain calm: "You think you can control the Hydra by killing us? Don't be delusional..."

Alexander Pierce murmured a Hydra proverb: "Cut off one head, and two grow back... No one knows how many people Hydra hides... No one can completely control Hydra..."

"I can."

Uehara Naraku smiled and shook his head, continuing, "Or rather, Dr. Anim Zola could, he has quite detailed information..."

Anim Zola.

A scientist formerly employed by Red Skull.

After World War II, Hydra leader Red Skull was dealt with by Captain America Steve Rogers. Many Hydra agents were purged by the Strategic Scientific Corps, the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the scientists among them were recruited by them.

Dr. Arnim Zola was specifically recruited by Howard Stark, one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., and thus joined the agency.

However, Dr. Arnim Zola did not change his mind. He infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. as a Hydra executive, gradually eroding S.H.I.E.L.D., his arch-rival, and also guided the "borrowing chicken to lay eggs" plan between Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.

As Arnim Zola lay dying, he stored all his thoughts and memories within the computers of the Strategic Science Corps, allowing him to exist virtually in this world, guiding Hydra's various plans with his superior algorithms…

To put it bluntly, Anim Zola is the modern-day mentor of Hydra.

"Zora..."

Alexander Pierce's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly shook his head, saying, "Impossible... It could never betray Hydra..."

Who knows?

Uehara Naraku nonchalantly spread his palms: "After I've dealt with you, I'll ask Dr. Zola if he'd be willing to cooperate with me to take Hydra to a wider world... If he's unwilling..."

Uehara Naraku's smile deepened, even giving Pierce a slightly sinister and terrifying look: "One missile would take care of it..."

Uehara Naraku slowly twirled his fingers and continued softly, "Actually, none of that matters. Any Hydra base that isn't under my control, I'll have S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers wipe them all out..."

Uehara Naraku didn't care at all.

He now holds the reins of S.H.I.E.L.D. in his left hand, a superhero from the Avengers in his right, and the Akatsuki cosmic organization behind him. Hydra is merely one of his tools.

If the Akatsuki organization weren't so righteous, needing Hydra to manipulate the faked death of Nick Fury and a few disobedient Avengers...

Aside from being obedient, the lower ranks of Hydra are otherwise useless.

but…

For Uehara Naraku, these subordinates who were willing to follow orders were truly worthy of his appreciation as their superior.

after all…

Even Uehara Naraku's true direct subordinates were not very obedient.

Clang!

Suddenly, the sound of fists rang out from inside the base!

The towering Hulk smashed an iron gate with his fist, kicked away the messy things blocking his way, and appeared in front of them.

When Alexander Pierce saw this, a look of panic flashed across his face, but deep down he subconsciously thought that he had discovered a glimmer of hope!

if…

What if the Avengers knew that Uehara Naraku was a Hydra...?

If the two of them were to fight here, there might still be a glimmer of hope... It's just unknown whether Hulk, the Hulk, has the rationality to consider Uehara Naraku as an enemy...

certainly…

If Uehara Naraku's identity is exposed, his appointment as the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be ousted, and there might even be another purge within S.H.I.E.L.D. regarding Hydra, which has been hiding for seventy years to reach this point...

Alexander Pierce's face showed a hint of struggle: should he expose Uehara Naraku for his own survival, or hide for Hydra...?

to be honest…

Uehara Naraku, a ruthless and cunning individual with a hidden agenda, is undoubtedly a top candidate to become the leader of Hydra. He might even be their second Red Skull...

that is…

That bastard is a traitor who betrayed his own boss!

Alexander Pierce suddenly charged towards Uehara Naraku, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes, but his voice abruptly lowered: "Then we'll trample over our corpses... and lead Hydra to become the king of this world!"

"Commander Pierce, what are you so self-satisfied about?"

A playful look appeared on Uehara Naraku's face as he looked at his old boss, and suddenly he kicked Alexander Pierce away!

"..."

Alexander Pierce's face suddenly turned grim. He didn't quite understand what Uehara Naraku meant until Pierce, lying on the ground, struggled to turn his head and look in the direction of the Hulk...

The towering Hulk walked over step by step…

This monster, who had created terror in New York, walked with a pained expression to Uehara Naraku's side, standing behind him like a well-behaved little brother.

"Task…"

Hulk gritted his teeth, a crimson glint in his eyes, and stared intently at Uehara Naraku, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "It's done..."

"There's one last one."

Uehara Naraku glanced at Alexander Pierce, then stepped lightly into a black hole, his figure about to disappear into the base.

"Kill him. I only came here so he could die knowing the truth before he died. Unfortunately, his identity has been exposed, and he's no longer worth keeping..."

After Uehara Naraku stepped into the black hole, he seemed to remember something, turned to look at Alexander Pierce, and smiled, saying, "I almost forgot, Commander Pierce, it was actually my doing that your identity was suddenly exposed back then."

I want to write a side story!
