Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 765 If Uehara comes over, then there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Uehara Naraku was in a good mood.

No matter who it is, they won't be in a bad mood after doing something great.

They just arranged everything in the Oval Office. Nick Fury's faked death will be revealed by the White House, the FBI, and the CIA. He will still be the unsuspecting director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and a simple person would never do anything dirty.

A few days later, when the new president in the White House issues an arrest warrant, the truth about Nick Fury faking his death and being a Hydra agent will be revealed…

As a simple-minded director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Uehara Naraku pondered whether he should confront Tony Stark as a concealed victim.

This is the professionalism of a mastermind behind the scenes.

he.

Naraku Uehara.

She will always be a victim.

That's the case, at least until the truth comes to light.

As for whether Tony Stark and Nick Fury's group will have psychological problems after the truth is truly revealed, we don't know... The Avengers are all a group of people with big hearts, and their mental fortitude should be excellent.

This time, the White House was very efficient.

After all, this was the first time the president sitting in the White House had helped Uehara Naraku with dirty work, and it was also to wash away the filth on them by directly throwing the dirty water on Nick Fury, plus the occasional elusive supervisor, Ichimaru Gin…

In less than two days.

Uehara Naraku received orders ostensibly from the White House, which, besides requiring S.H.I.E.L.D. to assist in the pursuit and capture of Nick Fury, included a few other minor requests…

For example, the new president ordered Director Uehara Naraku to reorganize S.H.I.E.L.D. under the guidance of the White House, and to eliminate the influence of Nick Fury, the "Hydra" director, on S.H.I.E.L.D. In short, he purged the people promoted by Nick Fury.

That's a stroke of genius!

Uehara Naraku had long wanted to completely purge Nick Fury's people, so that S.H.I.E.L.D. would become a clean and efficient intelligence agency that only obeyed his orders!

Simultaneously.

In order to ensure S.H.I.E.L.D.'s crucial mission of maintaining world peace...

The new president issued a special executive order allocating funds to expand the size of S.H.I.E.L.D., which must change the "weak" situation under Nick Fury, the "Hydra director," and grant S.H.I.E.L.D. the power to mobilize hundreds of US military overseas bases to cooperate unconditionally in operations.

Until the very end of the command.

The White House even rejected the Avengers program initiated by Nick Fury and Tony Stark, and every superhero recruited by Nick Fury had to be investigated, with everything left to the new director, Uehara.

What is a politician?

That's what a true statesman is!

Even with his experience as a behind-the-scenes manipulator in several worlds, Uehara Naraku couldn't help but admire the new president's competence, even managing to use Nick Fury as a pretext...

Really...

Everyone has their own purpose.

Even if he is just an elderly president.

When Uehara Naraku felt this way, he also felt a bit like Versailles. But this was the result of several hours of painstaking planning during the Killian incident. Hard work always pays off, right?

Uehara Naraku patted the paper order document on the table with satisfaction before reaching for the phone on his desk: "Hello, this is Uehara Naraku. Where is Colonel James Rhodes? Take me to him."

It's time to prepare to demand an explanation!

The first person.

This refers to James Rhodes, who is imprisoned by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Rather than saying Colonel Rhodes was imprisoned, it would be more accurate to say he was simply on vacation under the surveillance of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and his cell was even the most spacious and best-equipped.

just now…

Everything needs to be re-examined.

The delta wing building.

The outdoor basketball court at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

As a prisoner whom the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. personally instructed to be treated well, Colonel Rhodes was living a really good life, and he even had several hours of exercise time every day.

When Uehara Naraku arrived at the court with a dozen agents, James Rhodes tossed the basketball in his hand, sending it arcing across the court before falling into the basket—a long-range three-pointer that went straight in, which greatly improved Rhodes' mood.

"Hey, Uehara."

After Colonel Rhodes threw the ball, he turned to Uehara Naraku, who had arrived, and greeted him warmly, "Uehara, want to come along?"

"Maybe next time..."

Uehara Naraku stared at Colonel Rhodes, slowly adjusting his expression, revealing a complex look: "If there's a next time..."

"What happened?"

Colonel Rhodes, seeing Uehara Naraku's expression, roughly knew that the situation was not good: "Things aren't good? Am I going to be court-martialed? Perhaps this isn't so bad, it won't cause too much trouble for others..."

Rhodes was completely at ease.

He knew that the former president's murder was a major event, and that he, as the person who caused the president's death, would certainly not get away with it so easily. He also felt somewhat guilty.

only…

Things were not as simple as Colonel Rhodes had thought.

Naraku Uehara stared silently at Colonel Rhodes for a few seconds, then reached behind his back and produced an arrest warrant: "Colonel James Rhodes, we now suspect you of plotting to assassinate the former president. Lock him in the interrogation room!"

Several agents rushed forward and grabbed James Rhodes, handcuffing him to his wrists with shiny handcuffs. One of them even held a gun to his back!

Seeing the group of agents looking like they were facing a major threat, James Rhodes couldn't help but say, "Gentlemen, gentlemen, don't be so tense, I can walk by myself..."

"No one is allowed to visit Colonel Rhodes."

Uehara Naraku glanced at Colonel Rhodes, his face cold, and said, "I'm going to capture Tony Stark. No one is allowed to contact him until I return!"

"yes!"

"Wait... why are you arresting Tony?"

Rhodes looked surprised and couldn't help but say, "Uehara, you should know that this has nothing to do with Tony. He just..."

"James Rhodes."

Uehara Naraku's voice was somewhat cold. He took a step and stood in front of Colonel Rhodes, his coldness growing deeper, making the air force colonel somewhat uneasy.

Uehara Naraku's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly placed his hand on Rhodes' shoulder, continuing in a cold voice, "You and Tony Stark were quite pleased with yourselves for using me, weren't you? I was foolishly trying to exonerate you..."

"Wait, what happened?"

Rhodes' unease grew stronger, and he spoke directly: "Uehara, the former president's murder was indeed my fault, but Tony is innocent..."

What's going on?

Why did Uehara Naraku suddenly turn on me?

Even if this guy wants to be professional, he should know that Tony is innocent. What's going on with this guy? What exactly happened?

"Are you still trying to excuse Stark?"

Uehara Naraku was so angry he almost laughed, his eyes cold: "Tony Stark and former S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury have been colluding, trying to recruit Dr. Bruce Banner to form a Hydra superhero team..."

"Wait, wait... Nick Fury?"

Colonel Rhodes was still confused: "I remember that was your S.H.I.E.L.D. director, wasn't he dead a long time ago...?"

"Nick Fury is not dead."

Uehara Naraku released his grip, his face cold as he continued, "He was a Hydra spy planted in S.H.I.E.L.D. Tony Stark helped him fake his death and escape S.H.I.E.L.D. just before Nick Fury was about to be exposed..."

"Now, lock him in the interrogation room!"

"Wait until I get back, then we'll talk about everything that happened!"

"I'll show you the price of betraying a man's friendship!"

Uehara Naraku's final words were resounding, and everyone present could feel the anger emanating from him; each person's feelings were different!

Especially the Hydra subordinates around Uehara Naraku…

If these guys hadn't been professionally trained, they probably would have burst out laughing when they heard their boss seriously shifting blame onto Nick Fury, their arch-enemy…

What goes around comes around…

Who would have thought that Nick Fury, the truly hardworking director of S.H.I.E.L.D., would be branded as a Hydra criminal... and these Hydra agents brazenly took over S.H.I.E.L.D.!

"Sorry, I don't know..."

Before James Rhodes was taken away, he wanted to say a few words and defend Tony Stark, but he didn't know how to explain, so he could only stammer, "But I believe Tony must be..."

"I once believed in you and Tony."

Uehara Naraku coldly interrupted James Rhodes, his expression turning complicated again: "But... Rhodes... you, or rather you and Tony, have repaid me by defiling the friendship between men, by hiding everything from me, everything that is closely related to me..."

"I'm sorry, Uehara, but..."

"Take him away."

Uehara Naraku waved his hand.

An agent stepped forward and placed a gagging device over James Rhodes's mouth, gagging him.

Even as James Rhodes was being led away, he kept turning back, whimpering, hoping that Uehara Naraku would hear him say a few more words…

However, Uehara Naraku only watched with a complicated expression as he was taken away before he composed himself, just as an armed helicopter landed on the basketball court.

"Let's go."

Uehara Naraku stepped onto the helicopter and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Combat squadron, immediately take control of Stark Industries. One air force squadron, enter patrol status. Other squadrons, be ready to provide support at any time. All of New York City, put on air traffic control!"

This was no small event.

In order to capture Tony Stark alone, Uehara Naraku deployed three ground combat squadrons and one air force squadron. Twenty-four F-22 fighter jets roared and circled over New York, ready to shoot down any flying objects that might appear!

Because Tony Stark deployed dozens of Iron Man suits on Christmas Eve, the US high command realized just how much money Tony Stark really had…

Stark Industries Building.

Tony Stark was conducting experiments in the basement while Pepper Potts discussed their new building next to him. Stark Industries plans to build more than four more Stark New Energy Towers in the United States.

Whether these buildings are used as offices, research facilities, or even as a base for the Avengers...

However, the fighter jets constantly circling over New York were always a bit of annoyance to Tony Stark. The underground was well-insulated, but at this moment, Tony only wanted to take this opportunity to fly and test his new suit...

With so many fighter jets flying in the sky, his experiments will be very troublesome.

In the past, he could have complained to his friend, Air Force Colonel James Rhodes, but now he's still waiting for news of Colonel Rhodes's imprisonment...

"What's wrong?"

Pepper walked over to Tony Stark and reached out to massage his shoulders. "Tony, are you still worried about Colonel Rhodes?"

No, not at all.

Tony Stark shook his head indifferently and said softly, "Uehara will clear Rhodes' name. That guy has always been... well... anyway, he always has a grumpy face, but he's actually incredibly soft-hearted..."

"Sir, someone's here."

Jarvis's voice interrupted Tony Stark and Pepper's conversation.

Virtual displays appeared around the underground laboratory.

The screen displayed live footage from surveillance cameras near Stark Industries, showing a group of heavily armed agents operating under their surveillance. They quickly surrounded the entire Stark Industries building.

"What's going on?"

Tony Stark frowned, stroking his chin as he said, "Jarvis, investigate the latest government news, and while you're at it, check the databases of S.H.I.E.L.D. or the FBI. I need to find out what exactly happened..."

"Yes, sir."

Jarvis's voice remained a calm, mechanical tone.

Tony Stark, watching the rapidly moving agents on the monitor, ordered again, "Also, prepare two spare Mark 42s for Pepper and me!"

If it's a secret agent coming to cause trouble, that's fine...

If this is a group of Killian remnants, then we must prepare Iron Man suits in advance and absolutely not let them fall into enemy hands!

"Don't worry, Tony..."

Pepper looked surprised. She quickly picked up her phone and started dialing the officials: "I want to ask what happened..."

"No."

Tony Stark shook his head, his gaze fixed on a surveillance screen showing seven or eight agents escorting Naraku Uehara into Stark Industries!

"Pepper, go to the bottom floor."

Tony Stark extended his arm, and the sensors installed on his body quickly activated, sending a gold and red Iron Man suit component flying towards him!

A full suit of armored steel was quickly put on him!

Tony Stark reached out and grabbed the visor, slowly putting it on his face. He turned to his girlfriend and reassured her in a synthesized mechanical voice, "Don't worry, I'll go see what happened. If Uehara comes with us, it shouldn't be a big problem..."
