Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 771 Is there anyone left in this world you can trust? Yes, his name is Uehara Naraku!

Time keeps moving forward.

Uehara Naraku had Tony Stark and Colonel James Rhodes under control within S.H.I.E.L.D., and deliberately created a entanglement between Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers, immediately commencing his elaborate scheme.

The entire United States began to mobilize rapidly.

With the White House issuing a full-scale arrest warrant, news of the FBI and CIA jointly pursuing former S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury finally leaked out among high-ranking officials.

The entire U.S. high command knew about this shocking case of a spy faking his death.

It was only through these channels that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s two top agents, Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton, learned of this news, and both of them were somewhat confused.

What exactly is going on?

Why is it that everyone who has served as director of S.H.I.E.L.D., whether it's Alexander Pierce or Nick Fury, is a member of Hydra?

In fact, both Natasha and Barton knew about Nick Fury's faked death. In fact, Nick Fury had obtained S.H.I.E.L.D. intelligence through them. They also knew that Nick Fury had used his faked death to secretly investigate Hydra spies within S.H.I.E.L.D.

result…

How did Nick Fury turn into Hydra?

Did Nick Fury accidentally get too involved and uncover his true identity? Or was he framed by Hydra and became a Hydra agent?

Regardless, Natasha's first thought upon receiving the news was to quietly call Nick Fury to see what was going on with her former superior...

but…

Someone contacted Natasha first.

"Romanov, I am Uehara Naraku."

The man on the phone sounded somewhat somber, and he seemed to be in a bad mood: "Director Fury is still alive... Agent Romanoff, are you now serving S.H.I.E.L.D., or are you loyal to our Director Fury?"

"..."

Natasha felt this question was difficult to answer.

Both answers seem to be wrong. Before truly understanding Uehara Naraku's intentions, Natasha felt that either answer would be a trap.

"Hmm...where is our new director?"

A captivating smile flickered across Natasha's lips as she spoke into the phone in a seductive voice, "Are you loyal to S.H.I.E.L.D... or to our former director?"

"I?"

Uehara Naraku hesitated for a moment before giving Natasha's answer: "I don't know who I'm loyal to... Right now, I can only choose to be loyal to justice."

Me too.

Natasha immediately gave the same answer, then quickly changed the subject, asking about the important matter: "So what does the Director want me to do now? Find our former Director? Clint and I haven't had a mission since you took office..."

"This is my dereliction of duty."

Uehara Naru sighed on the phone and apologized, "I'm sorry, since I took over, I've been clearing out Hydra's bases to avenge Director Fury..."

"result…"

Natasha couldn't help but sigh.

Since Uehara Naraku took office as director, he has been completely clueless, only knowing how to relentlessly attack Hydra to avenge Director Nick Fury. However, he never expected that Nick Fury would fake his death and even be suspected of being a high-ranking Hydra spy...

The world is changing too fast...

I bet Uehara Naraku was also confused when he received the message.

"Let's not talk about this anymore..."

Uehara Naraku's voice grew even more somber. He sighed and continued, "In short, Director Fury is in a rather troublesome situation, one that we can't easily get involved in... Now I have an even more pressing problem that I need you and Clint to handle."

"What's the problem?"

Natasha couldn't help but chuckle softly, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Is there anything worse than our old boss being Hydra?"

Yes…

For S.H.I.E.L.D., what could be a worse problem than both directors Alexander Pierce and Nick Fury being Hydra spies?

"have."

Uehara Naraku calmly changed the subject, bringing up another matter: "Natasha, the database shows that you once fought Bucky Barnes?"

S.H.I.E.L.D. does indeed have this work file.

Natasha Romanoff and Bucky Barnes once fought, and in the end, Bucky left Natasha with a deep wound on her waist and abdomen. From that moment on, this charming woman could no longer wear a bikini.

Upon hearing the news about Bucky Barnes, Natasha's mood suddenly turned heavy: "That guy... has there been news of him making another move?"

"The situation is a bit bad..."

Uehara Naru hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone. He sent an email to Natasha's inbox before continuing, "Bucky Barnes was recruited by Hydra a long time ago, and now he should be confirmed as a Hydra member..."

"That's right."

Natasha confirmed this herself.

In that fight, Bucky Barnes was ruthless, like a heartless killing machine, mercilessly killing his opponents regardless of whether they were male, female, old, or young.

"but…"

Uehara Naraku paused halfway through his sentence, then slowly said, "Never mind, I don't know how to say it... I've already sent the information to your email."

This intelligence was the final message from the agent we had monitoring Captain Steve Rogers in the vicinity; that agent has been killed by Bucky Barnes.

"Okay, let me take a look."

Ding dong.

An email appeared in Natasha Romanov's inbox.

Natasha opened her email and saw a photo of Bucky Barnes and Captain Steve Rogers embracing and reuniting.

Obviously...

There's definitely a problem here.

Either Bucky Barnes has betrayed Hydra, or Steve Rogers has betrayed the Avengers, otherwise how could they get along so well?

"Go check it out, Natasha."

Uehara Naraku's mood was unusually low, and one could hear the dejection in his voice: "Get Clint together to investigate Bucky Barnes's problem, and Captain Steve Rogers, he also has some issues... You should remember Agent Coulson and Agent Hill's defection, right?"

"Um…"

"The reason they defected was because they discovered that Captain Steve Rogers might be a spy planted by Adolf Hitler within the Allied forces, used to eliminate Red Skull through the Allies..."

"How is that possible?"

Natasha had no idea there was such a hidden story behind it all!

Uehara Naraku sighed softly and continued calmly, "After I took over as director, I reviewed the files at S.H.I.E.L.D., and it was indeed the case..."

Even if it's Hydra... or even if it's Director Fury, who is suspected of being Hydra, trying to frame Captain Steve Rogers, we must find out the truth.

This black pot…

It slammed down on Nick Fury's head with a thud!

Regardless of whether the final outcome is that Steve Rogers is universally recognized as Hitler's man, or that he was framed by Nick Fury...

Uehara Naraku didn't lose out in this round.

of course.

The worst-case scenario is that they trust each other, believe that everyone is on their side, and then blame everything on the Hydra spies.

but…

What does this have to do with Director Uehara Naraku?

"I will look into this matter."

Natasha agreed to Uehara Naraku's request, but then asked with some doubt and worry, "Speaking of which, Uehara, how are you doing? I heard that apart from the FBI and CIA issuing arrest warrants for Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't issued any similar orders..."

"If I do nothing, the White House and the World Security Council probably won't do anything to me, because I'm still an intern in the Akatsuki organization. My status as a member of this cosmic organization will prevent them from making any rash moves..."

When Uehara Naraku got to this point, he chuckled self-deprecatingly, "However... both Director Alexander Pierce and Nick Fury were Hydra spies... They've already sent people to take over all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s affairs, and I can only act according to their orders."

he.

Naraku Uehara.

Natural non-stick black pan.

Natasha Romanov, of course, hadn't considered these things. She spoke gently, trying to soothe Uehara's emotions: "Just bear with it for now, Uehara. Once we've uncovered the whole truth, you'll be fine..."

"…Um."

Uehara Naraku grunted and continued, "Forget it, S.H.I.E.L.D. is just a department that can provide us with intelligence. The most important thing right now is to ensure the independence of the Avengers. That's the only thing we can do right now."

After saying this, Uehara Naraku lowered his voice again and whispered, "Also, secretly investigate Director Fury, regardless of whether he is a Hydra spy or not..."

"besides."

"If any other S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel call and ask you to return to headquarters or the base, do not return as they request!"

"The World Security Council has gone mad. They want complete control over S.H.I.E.L.D., complete control over the Avengers, complete control over everything in this world..."

"in addition."

"Don't tell Tony Stark."

"Because Tony Stark is under house arrest at S.H.I.E.L.D., but he witnessed the truth about how his parents were killed by Bucky Barnes of Hydra, and now he's capable of anything to avenge them..."

"As for..."

"Fine, let's leave it at that."

"Everything depends on you, Natasha."

A dial tone came through the phone, and Uehara Naraku's call abruptly ended. Natasha could only shake her head helplessly and put her phone away.

This phone call contained a great deal of information.

Natasha rubbed her temples with her fingers, then took out her phone and scrolled through the numbers in her contacts. Now she needed to think carefully about who she should call.

Steve Rogers?

Nick Fury?

Clint Barton?

There are three candidates, but two of them are not very reliable.

After much deliberation, Natasha chose the only person she could trust completely: Clint Barton, who had recruited her into S.H.I.E.L.D.

Whether she's investigating Nick Fury or the issues involving Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, she needs an ally.

Now, S.H.I.E.L.D. is controlled by the White House and the World Security Council. Director Naraku Uehara has been sidelined and even monitored, so she has to find allies on her own.

Just as Natasha finished thinking and was about to contact Clint Barton, a S.H.I.E.L.D. insider called, demanding that she and Clint return to headquarters immediately for a report…

Uehara Naraku was right!

The World Security Council wants to place these top S.H.I.E.L.D. agents under house arrest!

Following Uehara Naraku's instructions, Natasha naturally would not obey the order, because Uehara Naraku had already told her that once she and Clint chose to return to headquarters, they would be placed under house arrest by people sent by the World Security Council.

At that time, S.H.I.E.L.D. would be completely at the mercy of others, and no one would be able to find out the truth about Nick Fury, nor would anyone be able to protect the existence of the Avengers!

the most important is…

She doesn't have the identity of an Akatsuki intern to protect herself!

Natasha ignored the summons and didn't care about the consequences of disobeying them, because she knew that the truth was the most important thing right now!

As long as the truth is found…

You don't need to worry about any consequences!

Moreover, Uehara Naraku, the puppet director of the White House and the World Security Council, would vouch for her, because she was now obeying orders from Uehara Naraku.

pity…

Natasha would never have imagined this.

It was she who received the order to investigate Steve Rogers and Nick Fury's people, and personally signed the arrest warrants for her and Clint Barton...

Human nature is just that complicated.

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

In the director's office.

With just a few phone calls, Uehara Naraku kicked Black Widow Natasha Romanoff and Hawkeye Clint Barton out of S.H.I.E.L.D.

He is now holding a pen and signing his order.

"In the name of the World Security Council, immediately issue this arrest warrant to all bases and all field agents, and also inform the FBI and CIA that Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton have betrayed S.H.I.E.L.D..."

This move.

Uehara Naraku planned to give himself a perfect score.

"alright."

Uehara Naraku handed the orders in his hand to his subordinates, and with a slight swipe of his finger, he opened a virtual world map in the office.

just now.

He was about to quietly wait for the show to begin.

Which safe house is Nick Fury, now hunted by the entire world, hiding in? And just how many other safe houses has he secretly built...?

Suburbs of New York City.

An old house sits here.

The house looks old, but it actually contains a hidden world. Hundreds of meters underground, directly below the house, there is a huge and fully furnished refuge room, which is filled with ammunition and various living supplies.

Clearly, this is a safe house.

Even if the world were to face a nuclear war or an alien invasion that could destroy the Earth, the owner of the house could hide in the shelter for more than a year.

The owner of this safe house is Nick Fury.

Nick Fury built many similar safe houses, preparing for potential deadly crises long in advance.

only…

Nick Fury didn't live to see a nuclear war or aliens destroy Earth; he only received news that he was wanted by the White House and the Secret Service.

and…

He was still labeled a Hydra spy.

Nick Fury knew he wasn't Hydra, and his first thought was that this was a Hydra plot against him. The question was, why did his faked death get leaked?

Only three people in the entire world know about this.

Natasha Romanoff, Clint Barton, and Tony Stark, who helped hide the truth, didn't even tell his most trusted subordinate, Uehara Naraku!

"Now…"

Nick Fury took out his phone, scrolled through the numbers, and stopped at Uehara Naraku's number. A bitter smile appeared on his lips.

"I really didn't expect this..."

"So, eliminating those three... only Uehara, who has been completely unaware of the situation, is someone I can barely trust..."

Yes.

The leak of the faked death operation indicates that there must be spies among them.

However, Uehara Naraku, who knew nothing about him, became the only person he could be fairly certain of trusting.
