Multiverse Mastermind: Starting in Naruto

Chapter 936: Chapter 700: Tie Up Tony Stark and Take Out His Driver!

Fate always brings people who are meant to meet together.

In this awkward situation, Tony Stark encountered someone he thought was a savior, but it turned out to be a slacker employee he had fired, leaving his face slightly bewildered.

In the next moment...

Tony Stark took out his watch, pretending not to recognize Uehara Naraku, and casually waved the watch in his hand: "I don’t remember how much it’s worth, but it certainly could buy a hundred of your cars..."

"..."

Uehara Naraku’s eyes dropped slightly as he glanced at Tony Stark standing next to him. He did not take Tony Stark’s watch.

Uehara Naraku just silently took out his phone, calmly opened the album, and placed the photo he took today in front of Tony Stark.

The pop-up window on the photo was somewhat untimely.

[Mr. Uehara, you are fired.]

[From your boss, Tony Stark.]

"..."

Tony Stark’s expression was slightly embarrassed.

However, no matter how awkward the situation, Tony Stark always has a way. His response was quick as he raised his hand to pass over his watch.

"Oh, if you want to trade your phone for a watch, that’s okay too..."

"..."

Uehara Naraku expressionlessly retracted his phone.

Tony Stark was indeed an expert at feigning ignorance!

"Alright..."

Tony Stark sighed, looked at Uehara Naraku’s calm face, and continued to persuade: "I understand, you want more money, right? As long as it’s not going back to work at Stark Industries, you can name any amount..."

Aside from the matter of getting Uehara Naraku back to Stark Industries, which he couldn’t easily agree to, even if Uehara Naraku demanded a few million dollars, it would just be the price of a car for Tony Stark, something he could completely accept.

"..."

Uehara Naraku tilted his head, looking at his former boss with interest: "Mr. Stark, do I look like someone who cares about money?"

"Yes."

Tony Stark quickly nodded, spreading his palms to explain his answer: "No one doesn’t care about money, nobody could be uninterested in money..."

"Ten thousand."

Uehara Naraku interrupted Tony Stark, continuing to add: "As long as you’re alive, give me a hundred thousand dollars every month as the price for firing me today, so I will allow you to ride in my car..."

"I agree."

Tony Stark immediately turned this matter into an established fact.

But after saying that, Tony Stark’s expression became serious again, and he solemnly explained: "Mr. Uehara, I will give you a hundred thousand dollars every month in the future, not as compensation for firing you, but as the fare for today’s ride!"

This guy...

Has quite the principles!

No matter what, Tony Stark would never regret firing Uehara, this slacker employee who only knew how to play games and drink juice every day at work had to be fired!

"The reputation is hollow..."

Uehara Naraku chuckled lightly, looking at Tony Stark and nodding slowly: "As long as you’re willing to pay, whatever you say goes..."

"..."

Tony Stark looked at Uehara Naraku’s bright smile, and felt a hint of displeasure again.

"Just a reminder."

Tony Stark waved his watch at Uehara Naraku: "The price of this watch is at least a million dollars, only asking for a hundred thousand dollars a month is not worth it..."

"No problem."

Uehara Naraku nonchalantly shook his head, his smile even brighter: "I just purely enjoy the feeling of Mr. Tony Stark paying me, a hundred thousand dollars a month is enough, I can play games lying down for life..."

"..."

Tony Stark’s mood worsened.

Look at what this guy says... Is this even human speech?

After thinking for a while, Tony Stark reminded: "But there’s always got to be a limit to our agreed time, right?"

"Indeed..."

Uehara Naraku stroked the steering wheel in his hand, pondered for a while, then revealed a playful smile: "How about until the day Mr. Stark dies?"

"..."

Mentioning death, Tony Stark fell into silence.

Due to the palladium poisoning in his body, Tony Stark knows his death isn’t far off, perhaps this month is the limit his life can be sustained.

Well, this might be alright too?

And when Uehara Naraku hears the news of his death in the future, he should also be quite upset for suddenly losing a good sum of money, and will definitely curse himself for being toyed with by Tony Stark in another prank!

Before dying...

Seems like there’s one last prank to pull?

Tony Stark’s spirit perked up again.

"Alright."

To avoid showing any flaws, Tony Stark earnestly nodded to Uehara Naraku: "As long as I’m alive, pay Mr. Uehara ten thousand dollars a month."

"..."

Uehara Naraku’s smile widened, his fingers gestured to the cargo bed of the pickup truck, and he chuckled: "Mr. Stark, please get on the car!"

"Wait... can’t I sit in the passenger seat?"

"No."

Uehara Naraku tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, speaking leisurely: "If you really want to sit in the luxurious passenger seat..."

"It’s not luxurious at all!"

Tony Stark was in a bad mood again and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Just say it, what else do you want..."

"Need more money!"

"I’ll give you this watch too!"

"Get in, get in..."

The pickup truck back on the road had a bit more lively atmosphere.

Uehara Naraku slowly held the steering wheel, with a slightly excited look on his face, while Tony Stark sat next to him in the passenger seat, wearing a heavily damaged Iron Man suit, leaning against the seat, looking like he’d been through the wringer.

Due to wearing the Iron Man suit and wasting a lot of energy stopping traffic on the highway that afternoon, Tony Stark quickly dozed off.

Uehara Naraku slightly turned his head to glance at the sleeping Iron Man and took out a peculiar phone from his pocket, dialed a number with a few taps of his finger.

"Hello, Minister Pierce, this is Uehara Naraku..."

"I ran into Tony Stark on the way back to Washington. His Iron Man suit seemed to have encountered bad weather, and I’m bringing him back to D.C. now..."

"Abducting him isn’t really feasible, and stripping him of his Iron Man suit isn’t realistic either. Director Nick Fury has been keeping an eye on him, and we’re too easily exposed..."

"Besides, Iron Man has never just been about that suit; it’s Tony Stark, the scientific genius."

"I’m really good at going undercover..."

"I have a plan to try to gain Tony Stark’s trust..."

"Does Hydra have any subordinate gangs, preferably the kind with a terrible reputation, because there might need to be a bit of sacrifice..."

"Whatever kind of plan, as long as it works, is fine."

"Maybe during the process, we can let Mr. Tony Stark have a hard time, he’s had it too easy in life, probably needs to toughen up..."

"Alright, I’ll drive slower."

Uehara Naraku rambled on for a while, held his phone, and slightly curled his lips.

"Yes, long live Hydra."

After saying this, Uehara Naraku slowly hung up the phone.

This call was made by Uehara Naraku to another direct superior of his, Minister Alexander Pierce of the World Security Council. Pierce’s position is even above Nick Fury, being the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. himself.

Interestingly enough...

Alexander Pierce not only served as the previous director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Minister of the Security Council, but he is also the leader of Hydra undercover within S.H.I.E.L.D., their sworn enemy.

Look at how one can go undercover!

Sitting right at the top of their arch-enemy!

Just this one point makes Uehara Naraku feel that Alexander Pierce cannot be left alone, and one such super-spy in the world is enough...

After reporting a plan to Pierce, Uehara Naraku was not in a hurry regarding Pierce’s operational efficiency, and leisurely drove his pickup truck forward.

Nightfall gradually came.

This night is destined to be a long one.

When Tony Stark woke up, he found himself in a daze—this pickup truck was surrounded by a dozen gun barrels, surrounded by a group of gangsters wielding automatic rifles. Uehara Naraku, sitting in the driver’s seat, raised his hands as if surrendering...

"What is this..."

Tony Stark felt he hadn’t fully woken up, rubbed his eyes, "What’s going on? Did you drive me to Iraq?"

"Not really."

Uehara Naraku shook his head and friendly reminded him, "We’re still a few dozen kilometers from Washington, just a little mishap along the way..."

"Get out of the car quickly!"

A gang leader tapped on their window with a pistol, the threat being obvious, this skittish guy looked ready to shoot at any moment.

The door of the pickup truck opened.

Uehara Naraku stepped down with his hands raised.

Tony Stark still sat in the passenger seat, trying to figure out the situation.

A blond young man, upon seeing the Iron Man suit in the passenger seat, quickly retreated a few steps, "Wait... Tony Stark? Brothers, it seems we’ve hitched onto Iron Man..."

"..."

A group of gangsters involuntarily took a few steps back!

Even though they were armed, they seemed ready to flee at any moment!

Who hasn’t heard of Iron Man these days? This brand-new Superhero particularly likes attacking terrorists everywhere, and with their gang’s firepower...

"Yes, yes, Iron Man is in my car!"

Uehara Naraku quickly pointed at Tony Stark in the passenger seat, "Everyone, have you heard of Stark Industries? His Iron Man suit can’t work right now; just kidnapping Tony Stark once would net you enough money for a lifetime. I’m just a small fry..."

"Hey!"

Tony Stark’s expression froze.

Can this guy keep his mouth shut!

At this moment, Tony Stark couldn’t help but suspect if Uehara Naraku was secretly in cahoots with these gangsters trying to rob him!

Now it’s dark.

Usually, even if confronted by robbers, Tony Stark could swiftly utilize his Iron Man persona to scare these guys off, but Uehara Naraku went ahead and spilled his situation...

Is this guy an idiot?

Sure enough.

Upon hearing Uehara Naraku’s words, the gang members swiftly raised their guns again, with their leader even lighting up a cigarette with interest, "Help Mr. Tony Stark take off his Iron Man suit and treat our gold mine a bit better..."

After he said this, the gang leader glanced over at Uehara Naraku and fiercely raised his gun!

Click!

The sound of a gun being cocked was alarmingly loud!

"Take this driver out..."
