Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 783 If you hadn't fired me back then...

"For secret agents, the most important thing is intelligence."

"When we have all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence sources in our hands, we don't care whether there's a pig sitting on our heads or a black director."

"But this still makes me feel a little awkward..."

Uehara Naraku rambled on for a while, then slowly pointed his finger at Nick Fury: "After all, I went through all that trouble to eliminate the Hydra executives within S.H.I.E.L.D., not so that you could take control of S.H.I.E.L.D., Director Fury."

Nick Fury lowered his head slightly and pondered, "So...you sent Hydra assassins to kill me...then why did you save me when I was in the most danger?"

"I'm not a heartless person..."

Uehara Naraku shook his head, holding up a finger, and chuckled, "Besides... after I saved you, did you ever suspect that I was Hydra? No one in the entire United States would suspect that I was a member of Hydra... including the Avengers."

"..."

That's true.

After all, no one would have expected that Uehara Naraku, the big boss of Hydra, would always do things the opposite of what is expected, right?

"Have you forgotten?"

With a smile playing on his lips, Uehara Naraku continued, "When I saved you, weren't you shot? If you hadn't been hit that time, I would have signaled them to fire a second shot, so you could have stayed in bed for a few months..."

"..."

Nick Fury's eye twitched again.

You're really something to do something like this!

"So, about my faking my death..."

"I know."

Uehara Naraku's face immediately showed a pained expression, and he sighed deeply, saying, "Director Fury, I thought you would always trust me and let me know all your plans... but I never expected you to keep even something like this from me!"

"I had no intention of hiding it from you."

Nick Fury instinctively offered an explanation: "That's because the news of my death hadn't even spread yet, and you immediately took over as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. I believe there might be Hydra spies around you..."

and many more…

What the hell is he trying to explain here!

Why bother explaining this?

In retrospect, we should never have told Uehara Naraku anything back then, because that guy himself was Hydra's biggest spymaster...

Damn it, what's wrong with this world? A Hydra spy chief is here accusing him, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., of faking his death and not telling him.

"Okay, I forgive you."

Uehara Naraku waved his hand magnanimously and changed the subject: "Anyway, when I came back from reporting to the World Security Council, Tony told me about your death at Stark Hospital, and at that moment I sensed you were in the next room..."

"..."

Nick Fury is about to swear again.

Since that bastard Uehara Naraku already knows everything and has him completely under his control, how dare he criticize him just now?

Is this what it means to take advantage and then curse?

How come I never noticed how awful this guy was!

The others exchanged bewildered glances, and Tony Stark, who had been hiding behind them, also looked rather displeased. His feelings were probably the most complicated... because he had come here as a prisoner of Steve Rogers and the others.

result…

Now that he knows Uehara Naraku's true identity and what happened in the past, you can imagine Tony Stark's feelings; he's been utterly deceived...

Uehara Naraku had reprimanded him several times for helping him cover up Nick Fury's faked death, but it turns out this guy knew everything...

Tony Stark couldn't help but mutter a few words: "So you've been lying to me all along, and now you're blaming me for the fact that I deceived you..."

"No, no, no..."

Uehara Naraku shook his head and looked at Tony Stark, explaining, "While I enjoy lying, I really dislike being lied to."

"..."

That's such a double standard!

Encountering someone like this can drive you absolutely crazy!

"I must say, I should thank you, Director Fury."

Uehara Naraku slowly turned his head to look at Nick Fury, gradually opening his palm and then clenching it: "Because of your so-called death, I can conveniently use the pretext of avenging you to have the Avengers help eliminate all Hydra dissidents, reorganize all Hydra bases, and bring this largest organization under my control..."

"And once I have all Hydra's bases under my control, I can start thinking about the next step... which is to use S.H.I.E.L.D. to completely take control of the entire United States."

Opportunities are often reserved for those who are prepared.

Unfortunately, I've always been prepared.

"More than a decade ago, a scientist named Aldridge Killian, fueled by hatred for Stark, became a terrorist leader. He was a rather interesting man; he and I shared the same goal of secretly controlling the United States."

"..."

Tony Stark jerked his head back, staring intently at Uehara Naraku: "You also collaborated with Killian?"

This name made Tony Stark uneasy!

It's all because of Killian!

If it weren't for the Killian incident, in which the former president died in the turmoil, he and Colonel Rhodes wouldn't have been constantly questioned by officials, and even detained by Uehara Naraku in the name of doing what was best for them!

"His plan was perfect."

Uehara Naraku softly praised Killian before explaining, "So I turned his plan into my own... It's just a pity that the Earth is so small that only one mastermind can exist. I had to use your help to kill him."

"certainly."

"I also inherited his estate."

"For example, our current president is a pawn he left behind."

"..."

The situation is more serious than they imagined.

Nick Fury's expression was unusually somber. He wasn't as relaxed as the Avengers, because he knew the power of America very well.

If the current president is an agent of Naraku Uehara, coupled with Hydra's infiltration of the upper echelons, it means that the entire armed forces of the United States could be freely mobilized by Naraku Uehara...

Tony Stark's focus wasn't on any of that; his only concern was: "So that's why you imprisoned Rhodes and me at S.H.I.E.L.D., saying that the White House and the World Security Council always gave you orders you didn't want to follow but had to..."

"It's all a lie."

Uehara Naraku's words infuriated Tony Stark, who added, "Doesn't that make me look innocent?"

"...You're a true genius!"

Tony Stark angrily gave Uehara Naraku the middle finger. Why are there people like Uehara Naraku in the world!

"Who told you to fire me in the first place?"

Uehara Naraku leaned back in his chair and slowly said, "If you hadn't fired me back then, maybe I'd still be on an undercover mission, playing games in Stark Tower every day..."

"However, Tony..."

There's something I'm not lying to you about.

"The Howard Stark couple were indeed murdered by Bucky Barnes, on orders from Alexander Pierce. Although I have killed Pierce, the killer is still alive..."

"So, what's your choice now, Tony?"

"You have to choose to stand on my side..."

"We still have to choose to stand on their side..."

The sky has cleared up!
