Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 774 Hoping for World Peace

Inside the cluttered parking lot.

Nick Fury looked down at the news released by the World Security Council on his phone. Seeing his former confidant Coulson become a high-ranking official, his eyes twitched involuntarily.

Nick Fury, Coulson's former boss, single-handedly trained the rookie Coulson into a top agent. Now, his former boss can only sit in his driver's seat, huddled in the car, spending a cold night.

When faced with difficulties, humans inevitably tend to overthink.

Today, all the safe houses that were once built have been destroyed by S.H.I.E.L.D., and Nick Fury himself has to hide in this abandoned parking lot to evade capture.

Today, Coulson, the former agent who defected from S.H.I.E.L.D., has returned and become a high-ranking official in the World Security Council, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s superior.

These two things combined...

Nick Fury really has no choice but to let his imagination run wild!

Moreover, when these safe houses were built, most of them were actually handled by Nick Fury's trusted confidant, Coulson.

A growing pain slowly crept into Nick Fury's eyes. His own men, whom he had personally trained, had become his killers: "If you said these two things weren't related... I doubt even Uehara would believe it, right?"

Nick Fury lay back in his chair, reflecting on everything he had been through. How had he gone from being the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. to being abandoned by everyone?

He thought he could fake his death and leave S.H.I.E.L.D. to get Hydra, who was lurking within, to reveal themselves. But instead of finding Hydra, he ended up in trouble himself…

Moreover, it now appears that even Coulson, his former confidant, has betrayed him. Who else can he trust?

Nick Fury looked down at the photo on his phone, then at Uehara Naraku, who stood unremarkable next to Coulson. His fingers slowly rubbed the screen...

This is not over yet!

He had to risk everything to meet Uehara Naraku!

If Nick Fury could meet Uehara Naraku, he was confident he could convince him to believe in him, thus obtaining intelligence from the World Security Council. This would allow him to slowly uncover the HYDRA network that had infiltrated the U.S. high command and expose the truth behind it all!

Nick Fury was starting to regret it…

If only I had discussed everything with Uehara Naraku before faking my death and leaving, he could have remotely controlled the situation…

Nick Fury was initially worried that Uehara Naraku was too naive and might be tricked into revealing information, but now he has to find a way to win back the loyalty of his old subordinate.

"Hopefully he's still awake..."

Nick Fury's finger dialed Uehara Naraku's number, a glint appearing in his one eye: "But judging from the news, he probably won't sleep well tonight either..."

Uehara Naraku once hunted down Coulson.

As a result, after Coulson returned, he transformed from a defector into a high-ranking official of the World Security Council, and perhaps did something that displeased Uehara Naraku.

new York.

A secret underground base of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Uehara Naraku sat with his legs crossed in the base's office, finished reading the latest news released by the World Security Council on the virtual screen in front of him, and smiled as he turned to look at Agent Coulson, who was handcuffed to the chair.

"How is it?"

Uehara Naraku crossed his arms and chuckled as he asked, "I haven't been the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. for long, and I've already appointed you as the director of the World Security Council. That's a position that Commander Pierce once held. My old friend is doing a good job, isn't he?"

"..."

All Coulson wanted to do was curse.

What alarmed him most was not Uehara Naraku's amazing brain circuits, but Uehara Naraku's attitude toward the World Security Council, which he could summon and dismiss at will!

This guy…

Why can all of this be arranged with just a few words?

Just how tightly does Uehara Naraku control the World Security Council and S.H.I.E.L.D.? Why is the World Security Council willing to obey his orders?

Agent Hill frowned, glancing at the displeased Coulson before turning to Uehara, whose arrogance radiated from him: "Uehara Naraku, what exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to toy with Coulson?"

"Please address me as Director Uehara."

Uehara Naraku corrected Hill's form of address, then pointed to Coulson, who was handcuffed next to Hill: "Please address Mr. Coulson as Director Coulson. The whole world knows that former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Mr. Coulson has been promoted and given a raise. As for what I'm planning to do..."

Uehara Naraku couldn't help but chuckle, glancing at his phone on the table. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll find out in a little while."

hum…

hum…

hum…

The phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

Uehara Naraku picked up his phone and gestured to them. The number displayed was an unfamiliar one, but Uehara Naraku never did anything meaningless, so this number calling late at night was clearly not ordinary.

"Let's make a bet!"

Uehara Naraku's finger hovered over the dial button, and he chuckled as he continued, "Guess who's calling? I have a feeling it'll be someone all three of us know..."

"...Chief Nick Fury!"

Agent Hill's mind instantly conjured up the image of their old, bald, unkempt boss: "Everything you arranged today was to lure Director Fury away!"

"yes…"

Uehara Naraku nodded slowly, not answering the phone, but instead yawning: "I ordered the special operations team to deliberately make the news about destroying all his safe houses and promoting Coulson into the news..."

you guess…

"Would our former boss suspect who was in charge of the operation against him?"

"..."

That's truly devilish!

Agent Hill's face twitched involuntarily. Why was Uehara Naraku always targeting Coulson and trying to frame him?

Coulson's eyes flashed with a hint of shock and anger, because he had helped Nick Fury modify most of the safe houses, and he basically knew their locations!

Now…

He was so dirty that even jumping into the Mississippi River wouldn't clean him up!

"Shh, be quiet..."

Uehara Naraku put his finger to his lips, and a terrifying pressure instantly filled the entire room, making Coulson and Hill feel as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on them, so that they dared not move an inch!

Uehara Naraku pressed the answer button, and he also pressed the speakerphone on the call screen. Soon, the voices that all three of them knew came through the phone.

"Uehara, it's me."

It was their old boss, Nick Fury.

Coulson and Hill immediately widened their eyes, desperately trying to unleash their physical strength, and opened their mouths to say something to remind Nick Fury on the other end of the phone!

however…

The oppressive atmosphere in the room subtly increased!

This oppressive aura seemed to be crushing their souls, preventing them from opening their mouths and forcing them to listen to the conversation between Uehara Naraku and Nick Fury…

This strange ability made Coulson and Hill feel uneasy.

Uehara, that guy…

Who exactly is this person?!

This power is unlike that of an ordinary superhero!

Uehara Naraku subdued the two people in the room again before casually speaking to Nick Fury on the other end of the phone: "Director Fury, if you want to prove your innocence or have your warrant lifted, you can contact Chief Coulson."

At this point, Uehara Naraku interrupted himself and explained softly, "Oh, right, you might not know this, but Agent Coulson is back. He has been promoted to Director of the World Security Council."

And because he used to be your subordinate, and given the extremely negative impact of the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s defection, Director Coulson is now handling your case.

After saying all that, Uehara Naraku added, "There's one more thing. Starting today, S.H.I.E.L.D. will be hunting down defectors under the direction of the World Security Council."

Sorry, Director, regardless of your ties to Hydra, from today onwards, I no longer have the authority to intervene in the case of the former S.H.I.E.L.D. director's defection.

Or you can say that I have no right to interfere in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s affairs.

After all, Agent Hill, who returned with Coulson, is more suitable than me to be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I'll probably be able to pack my things and leave in a few days.

"..."

Nick Fury listened quietly on the other end of the call.

As for the office, Coulson, watching Uehara Naraku say those words, couldn't help but glare at him with anger, while Agent Hill was speechless...

This guy…

How could you even have the nerve to say such things!

Before framing them, you should have considered the feelings of the two people involved! Especially by throwing dirty water on them in front of them!

After listening to Uehara Naraku's somewhat complaining remarks, Nick Fury suddenly spoke up: "I thought that after they went back, you old friends got along quite well..."

"Perhaps..."

Uehara Naraku responded indifferently, his voice gradually lowering: "We've talked long enough today. I don't know if you're Hydra or S.H.I.E.L.D.... Anyway, be careful in the future. I can't help you anymore."

"I see."

Nick Fury sounded somewhat relieved.

After receiving the information summary from Uehara Naraku, he received some news that made him feel uneasy yet somewhat relieved.

first…

When the FBI and CIA were investigating him, Uehara Naraku probably didn't involve S.H.I.E.L.D. in these matters, and must have covered something up for his old boss.

Otherwise, why has no one been able to find him?

This shows that Uehara Naraku still had some trust in him.

However, after Coulson and Agent Hill returned, they took over S.H.I.E.L.D. in their new identities and issued an order within S.H.I.E.L.D. to hunt down their former director.

Uehara Naraku has now been completely reduced to a puppet. If it weren't for his status as an intern at the Universal Peace Organization, he might have been in trouble.

Nick Fury mentally pieced together all the intelligence details and finally made up his mind. He said in a deep voice, "Uehara, based on what I know about Coulson and Hill, your phone might be being tapped..."

"I see."

Uehara Naraku sighed and continued, "If I didn't represent Earth's position within the Akatsuki, I would have been dealt with by them long ago, wouldn't I?"

"I'm sorry, but no matter what you want to say or do now, I can't agree to it, Director Fury. I have to consider the Earth's interests, and I can only stand by and do nothing."

"Why not consider a do-or-die approach?"

Nick Fury's voice suddenly rose, and he continued in a deep voice, "Let's meet and talk in detail. S.H.I.E.L.D., the Security Council, the Senate, the House of Representatives, the White House—they may all have been infiltrated by Hydra..."

"Chief Fury, I don't want to know this."

Uehara Naraku interrupted Nick Fury. He was silent for a moment before suddenly saying, "One last piece of news: Natasha, Clint, and Captain Steve Rogers have all been added to the wanted list."

"them…"

Nick Fury's voice abruptly stopped.

This is the Avengers team he painstakingly built!

Now half of the Avengers team is wanted!

Nick Fury took a deep breath, and asked incredulously, "So... what about the others?"

"The rest of the people are very honest."

The remaining people that Uehara Naraku was referring to were the other members of the Avengers team, which obviously included him, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"I see."

Nick Fury's heart sank.

"Well then, that's settled."

Uehara Naraku calmly finished speaking, then added seemingly casually, "If you have the chance to see Natasha, please give them my regards... because I won't be in the US next week; I'm planning to travel to Africa for a while."

"Africa…"

Nick Fury's mind instantly scanned a jumble of chaotic grassland and desert landscapes, and he almost immediately locked onto a country, which made his mood even heavier.

There's nothing particularly noteworthy about Africa...

The most valuable one in all of Africa is undoubtedly that super kingdom hidden among a bunch of agricultural countries!

Wakanda!

The most technologically advanced country on Earth!

Wakanda, a technologically advanced kingdom hidden on a backward continent, has become a far more advanced nation than any other civilization on Earth thanks to its abundant vibranium content!

However, this country is unassuming and its people are very closed off, always appearing as a backward African nation.

However, Nick Fury knew of Wakanda's existence. After all, the vibranium circulating in the world today all leaked from Wakanda, and as the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he naturally paid special attention to Wakanda.

"Well then... have a safe journey."

Nick Fury calmed himself down and began to wonder if Uehara Naraku's mention of Africa had some other meaning behind it.

"the same as you."

Uehara Naraku's answer was quite interesting.

Nick Fury almost instantly understood from Uehara Naraku's simple answer that Uehara Naraku must be going to Africa, and even inviting him to go with him!

If that's the case...

They might be able to meet in Wakanda!

Wakanda is a country that S.H.I.E.L.D. and even the United States cannot reach.

Uehara Naraku leisurely left behind his final riddle: "I hope that by then, Africa will still be at peace... no, I should say I hope the world will still be at peace!"
