Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 792 Hang him up and leave him to bask in the sun for a week!

After the battle.

The entire planet was in ruins.

Uehara Naraku raised his hand and gently smoothed away the planet's wounds, put away the Space Stone left behind by Odin, and then opened a black hole to collect the planet.

The space suddenly became empty.

Uehara Naraku nodded in satisfaction: "It seems some people need to find a new place to retire; perhaps he won't even have the chance to retire in the future..."

If nothing unexpected happens...

Thanos probably won't have to think about retiring for the rest of his life.

Now, Uehara Naraku holds the most bizarre Time Stone and the most powerful Space Stone, as well as the Mind Stone he obtained long ago, and the Reality Stone will soon be in his hands as well…

Of the six Infinity Stones in the entire universe, only the Power Stone, the most powerful in terms of physical attack, and the Soul Stone, the most mysterious and unpredictable, remain undiscovered.

These two gems are no longer important.

At least we should give Thanos, the stone collector, some hope, right? Uehara Naraku even had to take the initiative to find a way to leak the clues about the remaining two Infinity Stones to Thanos.

Moreover, collecting the most mysterious Soul Gem is quite troublesome. Who would be willing to sacrifice their loved one to obtain the Soul Gem just to offer it to this BOSS?

This requires a little bit of skill...

Uehara Naraku was absolutely unwilling to sacrifice the two people most important to him, and he had never even considered such a thing. He had planned for a long time to revive Nagato, and had arranged everything perfectly for Nagato, who was determined to die...

"but…"

Uehara Naraku thought of the guardian of the Soul Stone, and a thought flashed through his mind: "As the current supreme leader of Hydra, I wonder if the Soul Stone would approve of sacrificing our Hydra's predecessors..."

Ok…

The current guardian and guide of the Soul Stone is none other than Red Skull, the top leader of Hydra at its peak, and Captain America Steve Rogers's archenemy…

Towards the end of World War II, Steve Rogers fought a great battle with Red Skull. Red Skull was teleported by the Tesseract to the location of the Soul Stone, which granted him the power of immortality and a half-human, half-demon body.

Red Skull, far away on Vormir, had been away from Earth for a long time. He had no idea that a ruthless successor was after him, and that this former leader of Hydra was still diligently guarding Vormir.

"I wonder if sacrificing Senior Red Skull would work..."

Uehara Naraku sighed inwardly. This approach was most likely to fail, but if it succeeded, it would be a huge profit; if it failed, it would only be the loss of an old Hydra veteran…

Anyway…

Uehara Naraku had already killed many of the Hydra leaders.

Using Red Skull for experiments didn't put much psychological pressure on Uehara Naraku, especially since Red Skull himself was someone who quite enjoyed conducting experiments...

"Consider it a sacrifice for the rise of Hydra..."

Uehara Naraku casually came up with a reason and slowly opened a spatial wormhole. Just as he was thinking, he suddenly sensed something!

Odin has only just died…

The divine power seal on Earth had just disappeared when something happened!

Earth.

In Norway, in Northern Europe.

After Uehara Naraku defeated the Avengers, Earth was essentially under the complete control of Hydra and the Akatsuki organization, and the superheroes quickly fell into obscurity.

Dr. Bruce Banner (Hulk), Tony Stark (Iron Man), and James Rhodes (War Machine) chose to retire, only occasionally making appearances to resolve minor troubles.

As for the other Avengers…

Naturally, they were all imprisoned after the Battle of Wakanda.

As for Captain Marvel Carol Danvers, who was defeated by Uehara, she originally planned to stay and fight alongside Nick Fury and the others again.

However, the disappearance of Hydra and the mastermind behind it all made Carol Danvers hesitant to act rashly. After regaining his power, he rescued Nick Fury and others from prison and chose to temporarily leave Earth to find a way to defeat Uehara Naraku.

Nick Fury, Steve Rogers, and others refused Carol Danvers' offer to leave Earth; they wanted to remain on Earth to fight and find an opportunity to overthrow Hydra, even if it meant living a life of constant hiding and fleeing…

to be frank.

Fortunately, they chose to stay on Earth.

Otherwise, they would have no way to survive in space.

Because Carol Danvers's laboratory spaceship was stolen, leaving her only a small survival pod and a letter mentioning that her laboratory spaceship had been requisitioned by the Akatsuki...

It's true that everything goes wrong when you're in adversity...

This almost made Carol Danvers furious. It was something left to her by her mentor, Dr. Mar-Will, and it even had pictures of Skrulls and her little pet on it!

of course.

Carol Danvers didn't intend to cause trouble for the Akatsuki at this time. Firstly, she didn't know their whereabouts, and secondly, she knew from Nick Fury that Uehara Naraku, who defeated her, was just an intern in the Akatsuki...

The guy who could defeat her head-on was just an intern in the Akatsuki organization. This so-called cosmic organization must have something going for it.

and…

Carol Danvers felt a little relieved, at least this gave her a reason to contact the Akatsuki organization, and perhaps she could even join this so-called universal peace organization.

Because Nick Fury told Carol something when she left Earth: the Akatsuki organization had once wanted to invite her to join them…

If I could join the Akatsuki...

Perhaps we can learn how to defeat Uehara Naraku from within the Akatsuki organization, and even replace Uehara Naraku in the Akatsuki!

This idea is still quite wonderful...

However, this idea is unlikely to come true anytime soon, because the members of the Akatsuki organization stole the laboratory spaceship and temporarily left this universe... Only Gin Ichimaru remains on Earth as an official member of the Akatsuki, but unfortunately they don't know that.

If Gin Ichimaru knew their plan, he would probably help them wholeheartedly, pushing Carol Danvers to join Akatsuki, and then turning around and crushing Carol's mentality...

However, Gin Ichimaru is very busy right now.

Now, Gin Ichimaru and Wanda stand in Norway, quietly waiting for Hela, the goddess of death, to break free from Odin's seal and emerge. Naturally, they want to recruit this goddess of death…

pity…

Hela, the goddess of death, doesn't seem to appreciate it.

The moment Odin, the king of the gods of Asgard, died, the seal on the divine power on Earth was instantly broken, and a woman exuding a terrifying aura appeared on the beach.

It was Hela, the goddess of death.

Since she was imprisoned by Odin, she had been wearing down Odin's seal. However, Odin's death allowed her to break the divine power seal directly, finally enabling her to see the light of day again!

"Congratulations, Princess Hela, on breaking free of the seal..."

Gin Ichimaru walked up with a smile, his eyes narrowed.

Does anyone still recognize me?

Hela, who had just returned, slowly turned her head and looked at Gin Ichimaru. Her gaze was somewhat unrestrained as she looked at this Grim Reaper from another world.

Without even needing to search, Hela could sense the strange soul energy emanating from Gin Ichimaru, causing a smile to involuntarily creep onto her lips: "What an interesting little thing..."

"Odin, the king of the gods, has fallen."

Ignoring her unabashed gaze, Gin Ichimaru spoke softly, "Princess Hela may wish to return to Asgard to reclaim her throne, but she would appreciate it if Your Highness could wait here a moment. An lord wishes to see you..."

"Um?"

Hela couldn't help but tilt her head, her long hair cascading down her chest. The goddess of death's eyes were clearly filled with confusion and doubt. She half-closed her eyes and said, "If I heard correctly, you're telling me to wait here?"

"certainly."

Gin Ichimaru smiled and nodded.

To them, Gin Ichimaru was being polite enough; to Hela, this little guy with his squinting eyes was clearly provoking her!

"never mind…"

Hela looked up at the sky, slowly shook her head, and said, "I'll let you live today, I don't have time to waste..."

Now that the nine kingdoms have fully united, it means that the channels connecting them have been opened. Even without the Rainbow Bridge, Hela can return to Asgard!

and…

Hela knew very well what the convergence of the nine kingdoms meant. In addition to the connection channel, an ether particle that had been sealed for countless years would also emerge!

Now is not the time to waste time waiting for someone!

Just as Hela ignored Gin Ichimaru and took to the air, Wanda suddenly manipulated a ball of red energy to grab her ankle and drag her down!

The one who made the move was Wanda!

Caught off guard, Hela was thrown to the ground, but she managed to brace herself with one knee and one hand to prevent herself from falling too badly!

Wanda glanced at Hela, the goddess of death, whom she had pulled back with her mental powers, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes: "You'd better stay here obediently and wait for the master's summons..."

I really can't understand...

Why did Uehara Naraku want to win over Hela...?

Because this goddess of death isn't as pretty as her, is definitely much older, doesn't have the same figure, and doesn't seem to be much stronger...

"Oh?"

Hela maintained her balance, looked up at Wanda, and chuckled, "Very powerful mental strength. You must have come into contact with the Mind Stone?"

"..."

Wanda couldn't help but frown. What on earth was this Hela, the goddess of death? She had revealed the source of her power in just one sentence!

"What an impolite little thing..."

Hela slowly stood up, long spikes gradually emerging from her hands: "The lord you speak of seems to truly underestimate Asgard... does he really think the two of you can stop me?"

Death energy gradually emanated from her body…

The goddess of death, who has been imprisoned for thousands of years, is rapidly regaining her power, and it is even rising higher and higher!

"Midgard's power is too weak..."

Hela frowned slightly.

Now she needs to return to Asgard as soon as possible. Only by staying in her homeland of Asgard can her power recover faster and make her stronger!

But now...

She should deal with these two little bugs blocking her way first!

As long as she is within the Nine Realms, this is her home turf!

As the aura of the Goddess of Death surged forth, jet-black thorns spread wildly along the coast, instantly transforming the area into a kingdom of death!

Gin Ichimaru and Wanda arrived with great difficulty, even attempting a counterattack, but Hela easily withstood their attacks thanks to her immortality…

As long as Asgard exists...

Hela will never die!

Both Gin Ichimaru and Wanda seem to have underestimated their opponents. This goddess of death was once a true god who led troops to conquer the Nine Realms. There were many powerful evil gods in the Nine Realms during that era!

"What an oblivious little thing..."

Hela flicked her wrist, raising two black spikes that pinned Gin Ichimaru and Wanda to the ground. She narrowed her eyes and sneered, "When my father Odin fell, no one in this world could threaten me anymore..."

"I see..."

An unfamiliar voice appeared behind Hela.

It was Uehara Naraku.

The young man dressed in black leather walked out of the spatial wormhole along with the voice. Just as Hela turned around, he suddenly raised his palm and grabbed at Hela!

"Universal Guidance!"

A force of gravity suddenly pulled Hela in!

Uehara Naraku gripped Hela's neck tightly, lifting the goddess of death up. His eyes were now those of a light blue Rinnegan.

"How lucky..."

Uehara Naraku's fingers pressed against her neck, leaving a red mark. His voice suddenly became calm: "I just killed your father Odin, his body was still warm... Wouldn't it be too cruel to kill his daughter as well?"

"..."

Hela's struggling body suddenly froze!

What does this person mean?!

Upon closer inspection, one can indeed sense traces of Odin's divine power on this suddenly appearing figure; they must have been through a fierce battle...

There was even the scent of eternal fire burning!

"Don't be afraid."

Uehara Naraku gently lowered Hela, moving his hand away from her neck and stroking her cheek. He spoke softly to soothe Hela's growing fear: "However, I originally intended to take you to claim my spoils, Asgard, but unfortunately, you made a mistake..."

"..."

Even though the man's voice was getting gentler, Hela felt a chill in her heart. She always felt that the hand stroking her cheek would twist her head off!

"Since you did something wrong..."

Uehara Naraku slowly approached Hela, their two pairs of dark, unfathomable eyes meeting. His voice grew gentler: "Then you must obediently pay the price for your mistakes. Your Highness agrees, doesn't that?"

"..."

Hela nodded subconsciously.

"It seems we had a pleasant conversation."

Uehara Naraku unleashed another shockwave from his right hand, shattering the Death Forest that bound Ichimaru Gin and Wanda. He then ordered, "Gin, Wanda, help hang Princess Hela up and leave her on the beach to dry for a week..."
