Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 808, The End

A sandstorm suddenly broke out!

As Thanos's twin blades fell, Uehara Naraku casually held his katana horizontally in front of him, wielding it with one hand.

this moment…

Uehara looks extremely dashing!

Even compared to the towering Thanos, Uehara Naraku's size seemed insignificant, but the huge difference in size did not hinder the outcome of the collision!

Clang!

Thanos wielded his sword and struck Uehara Naraku's blade. He felt his hand go numb, and despite using all his strength, Uehara Naraku blocked the attack with one hand!

"An incredibly terrifying power..."

Uehara Naraku slowly raised the katana in his hand, actually trying to suppress Thanos. His voice was unusually calm when he praised Thanos!

"I should be the one saying that!"

Thanos took a deep breath and pressed down with the force in his arm again, but no matter how much he increased his strength, he could not change the fact that Uehara Naraku had reversed the situation!

but…

This is not a hopeless situation!

Thanos looked down at Uehara Naraku, whose face was calm and composed. A purple energy from the Power Stone quietly overflowed from his Infinity Gauntlet and enhanced the double-edged sword!

Boom!

The deafening explosion was deafening!

Uehara Naraku was sent flying by a single slash!

This attack, amplified by the Power Gem, caught Uehara Naraku completely off guard. His body flew backward for dozens of meters before he regained his footing!

After Thanos felt the Power Stone's attack take effect, he didn't hesitate any longer. The purple Power Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet flashed slightly, and a purple torrent surged from his fist, crashing straight into Uehara Naraku!

This is the most powerful attack in the universe!

Uehara Naraku's figure retreated rapidly!

When Thanos saw Uehara Naraku retreat, he showed no mercy with his fists. The Power Stone on his gauntlets shone brightly again, and a torrent of purple power swept across everything around him, with explosions echoing across Titan!

"Thanos isn't so easy to deal with..."

Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, watching Uehara Naraku being overwhelmed by Thanos, couldn't help but say, "Even Uehara..."

"Hmph, don't underestimate that guy."

Madara Uchiha glanced at Captain Marvel, snorted coldly, and said, "Watch closely, kid, this battle isn't that simple..."

Before Madara Uchiha's voice had even completely faded, the entire battle situation on Titan had already changed again, and everyone stared wide-eyed at the center of the battlefield!

In their sight…

It only took a few seconds for Uehara Naraku's figure to go from retreating to advancing rapidly. The man swung his fist and slammed it heavily into the purple torrent of the Power Gem!

The entire planet Titan fell silent for a moment!

Immediately, an endless sandstorm swept across the entire planet, and huge cracks appeared in the ground. The sandstorm quickly engulfed everyone else on the planet!

Madara Uchiha had no choice but to activate his Susanoo to protect those around him and allow him to stand still and watch the battle. As for Gamora and Corvus Glaive, they had already been blown away...

Thanos stared in disbelief at Uehara Naraku, who had shattered the attack with a single punch. He then looked down at the Power Stone on his gauntlet and clenched his fist again!

Even if the enemy is this powerful...

He could no longer back down!

"Is that all? A little disappointing..."

Suddenly, Uehara Naraku clenched his fist, and endless energy surged from his body, transforming into black chains that reached out to Thanos!

Bang!

The Power Stone on Thanos's gauntlets flashed once more!

Clusters of purple energy rapidly spread throughout his body!

Each time a black chain gripped his body, purple energy would surge upwards, destroying the black chain, yet the black chain seemed endless!

In the blink of an eye…

Thanos was already surrounded by a dense array of chains!

"Aaaaaaahhhhh..."

Thanos roared and raised his fist, purple energy coursing through his body, instantly shattering all the energy chains!

Thanos, who possesses the Power Stone…

At this moment, he is demonstrating his invincibility!

Uehara Naraku, however, paid no attention to this. He simply manipulated the energy to gather it back together, transforming it into a giant hand in the sky!

A giant hand descended from the sky…

With a slap, Thanos, who was still roaring, was knocked to the ground!

No matter what counterattack Thanos made using the Power Stone, it was all overwhelmed by Uehara Naraku's overwhelming energy attack, and the battle between the two completely changed!

Thanos, wielding the Infinity Gauntlet, set the ruins of Titan ablaze, engulfing Uehara Naraku's body. All the explosions were reduced to ashes by the energy emanating from Uehara's body!

Seeing this, Madara Uchiha couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances, then turned to those around him and said, "Is Uehara... just toying with him?"

"perhaps…"

Hashirama Senju slowly nodded.

Aizen Sousuke shook his head and explained softly, "Perhaps it's just to make him fully realize the gap in skill..."

Obviously.

Thanos was also able to see the situation clearly.

His fingers suddenly exerted force, ripping the Power Stone off the Infinity Gauntlet!

Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet makes it easier for him to manipulate the gems, but this also means that the Infinity Gauntlet will limit the power of the Infinity Stones!

Thanos gripped the gem tightly in his right hand, completely unconcerned about the power of the Infinity Stones corrupting his arm and body. Perhaps his Titan body was also unaffected by this corruption!

"That's it..."

Looking at Thanos, whose face showed slight pain, Uehara Naraku smiled and continued, "If you can easily obtain everything without fighting for your ideals, then those ideals are far too cheap..."

"What do you know..."

Thanos glared at Uehara Naraku with a ferocious expression.

I understand you better than anyone else.

Uehara Naraku opened his palm and said softly, "As someone who also values ​​fairness and balance, perhaps I truly understand your ideals better than anyone else..."

I've heard of your idea: to wipe out half of humanity in this universe, regardless of wealth or poverty, gender or age, strength or weakness—that would be true fairness…

Compared to the endless slaughter, turning them to ashes with a snap of the Infinity Stones seems almost merciful.

At this point, Uehara Naraku abruptly changed the subject, saying, "However, this idea is rather petty. How about I come up with a better one..."

"What?"

Thanos's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

Uehara Naraku met his gaze, a sinister smile playing on his lips. Behind him, thick, black fog slowly billowed: "Let me devour this universe…let them live on in my universe…my universe is vast…"

Uehara Naraku raised his finger, pointed to a planet visible to the naked eye in the sky, and smiled, "If you are willing to give up resistance and hand over the Power Stone, I can grant you that planet as a place to retire..."

"..."

Thanos's eyes narrowed instantly!

The cosmic overlord's expression suddenly changed. He didn't care at all about the Power Gem he was holding tightly in his palm, as if he wanted to pull the gem into his own body!

This guy named Uehara Naraku... actually has such ambition... This guy wants to devour everything in this universe, just like Dormammu!

wrong…

It should be said that...

Now that Dormammu has revealed himself to be a member of Akatsuki, it means that the Dormammu who has been invading this world all along was his vanguard!

"That won't do..."

Thanos shook his head and said in a deep voice, "What this universe needs has never been a god who is above everything, but someone who can balance everything..."

Gods did indeed exist in the universe.

Thanos also killed those gods who wanted to be high above!

At this point, Thanos seemed to have completely withstood the corruption of the Power Stone, and strands of bright purple patterns appeared on his arm!

"Besides, that planet..."

Thanos's expression darkened slightly as he thought of this: "If I remember correctly, that was a planet I had visited. I had originally planned to resolve everything and then live in seclusion on that planet, observing the scenery of the universe..."

"I know you've taken a liking to him."

Uehara Naraku nodded slowly, chuckling as he continued, "I guessed what you were thinking, which is why I brought it along... It will also be your reward..."

"Of course... if you can win..."

"..."

Thanos stopped answering, stepped onto the ground and leaped into the air. Purple light swirled around his arm as he slammed down heavily onto Uehara Naraku's body!

"If you lose..."

Uehara Naraku leaped up to meet Thanos's figure, his fist clenched tightly as he slammed into Thanos, his voice echoing across the entire planet Titan!

"Then prepare yourself to accept the fate I've imposed upon you!"

Titan's enormous fist collided with Uehara Naraku's fist in an instant!

Waves of immense energy surged forth, engulfing everything around them. Even Thanos and Uehara Naraku were constantly pressured by the collision and explosion of energy!

Click...

A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out…

A look of pain flashed across Thanos's face!

A smile returned to Uehara Naraku's lips. At this moment, it seemed that there was no need to deduce the outcome of this clash!

As Thanos's fist bones broke, tiny wounds instantly appeared on his arms and body, and blood instantly covered his arms and even his entire body!

this moment…

Even Thanos could no longer resist the corruption of the Power Stone. His fist involuntarily retreated, and his hand trembled slightly as he shook the Power Stone off his hand!

Uehara Naraku flipped his wrist and caught the gem that was powerful enough to destroy Titan, then turned around and kicked Thanos away!

One strike!

The outcome is decided!

However, out of sight of others, Uehara Naraku's wide, auspicious-cloud-patterned black robe fluttered slightly, and his sleeves quickly concealed his hands...

This also concealed the cracked web between his thumb and forefinger...

After all, colliding with the most powerful gem in the universe is no easy task for Uehara Naraku...

Of course, this collision also allowed Uehara Naraku to deeply understand how terrifying the ultimate power of a universe can be!

It seems like it's just that kind of thing...

Thanos, however, was not so good.

Thanos is now completely dead.

Thanos was covered in wounds, barely managing to stay conscious only thanks to his powerful physique. The pain of defeat made him look somewhat forlorn…

"grown ups…"

Corvus Glaive hurriedly stepped forward to check Thanos's injuries. Gamora's eyes were somewhat complicated, but she eventually followed Corvus Glaive's footsteps.

Just as they were embracing Thanos, a bank card that looked strange and outdated to them suddenly fell down and landed on Thanos…

Uehara Naraku slowly withdrew his hand, and said flippantly, "Alright, take this money and go see a doctor on Earth!"

"You bastard!"

Corvus Glaive tried to grab his spear!

This guy is so insulting! Does he think this fight is some kind of street brawl? He's even using Earth's money for medical expenses!

"stop…"

Thanos stopped his subordinates, lay on the ground looking at Uehara Naraku, and gently shook his head, saying, "We've already lost... but..."

"If you lose, just find a place to live a good life..."

Uehara Naraku waved his hand, looked at Thanos, and said, "Your vision is ultimately too narrow. When I saw you preparing to retreat to your secluded planet, I knew you would lose. A person who wants to change the world shouldn't be so naive..."

"if…"

Uehara Naraku opened his palm, and black mist emanated from behind him, transforming into a massive black hole: "If a man standing at the pinnacle of the world wants to retire, he should treat the entire world as his retirement home..."

The black hole gate rapidly expanded!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the black hole behind Uehara Naraku slowly split open, turning into smaller black holes that flew off into all corners of the universe!

The victor is about to collect his spoils.

Thanos, having failed, was powerless to stop Uehara Naraku from stealing this cosmic planet and could only leave with Corvus Glaive and Gaim on their spaceship.

Just before leaving.

Thanos gave Uehara Naraku a deep look, clearly indicating that this cosmic overlord had no intention of giving up his ideas.

"Hey, aren't we going to kill him?"

Madara Uchiha leaped to Naraku Uehara's side.

Hashirama Senju followed closely behind, shaking his head and sighing, "That Thanos reminded me of Madara's past self, possessing a powerful heart and an unwavering will..."

to be honest…

Someone like Thanos will also keep getting stronger.

If Thanos were to accidentally come into contact with the power of other worlds, who knows just how powerful that guy would become?

"There's no need for that. I'm the mastermind behind everything."

Uehara Naraku shook his head, slowly opened his palm and then clenched it again, then suddenly smiled: "For a mastermind, what they fear most is never those arrogant people like Thanos and Uchiha Madara, but rather those hot-blooded guys..."

That's about it for the main text...

Then I plan to write two side stories. One side story is about Marvel, which will cover Avengers: Endgame and may involve Konan. The other side story is about other worlds, which will explain most of them.
