Multiverse Mastermind: Starting in Naruto

Chapter 937: Chapter 701: Uehara, I Hope You Can Become an Avenger

Alexander Pierce is not very competent.

Uehara Naraku hoped Pierce could find a ruthless gang to come and die, but these guys are blatantly courting death!

Just as the gang leader raised his gun and was about to shoot Uehara Naraku, Tony Stark suddenly interrupted his action.

"Wait!"

Tony Stark raised his hand to stop the gang leader and then pointed a finger at Uehara Naraku: "I’m willing to pay an extra hundred thousand dollars for him to survive as well."

"..."

Uehara Naraku’s expression was slightly surprised.

The gang leader tilted his head, a mocking smile flashing across his face: "Mr. Stark, since we’ve kidnapped you, do you think we care about a hundred thousand dollars?"

"But this guy is worth at most a hundred thousand dollars."

Tony Stark shrugged indifferently.

"..."

Uehara Naraku’s face became even more peculiar.

However, Tony Stark didn’t notice. He just looked at the gang leader’s casual expression and explained softly: "Give me some face. The price I’m offering is already very high. Since you’re kidnapping me, you’ll need a driver to take me back after it’s over, right?"

"Hahahahaha..."

The gang leader quickly agreed, a playful smile on his lips: "Mr. Stark still wants to go back?"

However... he never planned to let Tony Stark go back!

Originally, this gang leader received an order to intercept a pickup truck on this road and kidnap a rich man to raise funds for the organization.

As a result, they ended up kidnapping Tony Stark!

Which idiot gave this order? Kidnapping Tony Stark, do they really think they want to live?

If Tony Stark can go back alive, this rich young superhero will definitely not let them off; however, if Tony Stark dies at their hands, their future won’t be too good either...

This was a hot potato.

In short, take the man back first and ask the organization how to deal with it. The gang leader’s instinct is that the fewer people who know about this, the better.

This driver...

Better to just kill him...

Tony Stark has no face with Hydra!

Just as the gang leader raised his gun again, Uehara Naraku couldn’t help but sigh: "Friend, are you always this brave?"

"Are you talking..."

Crack!

A crisp bone-cracking sound!

No one expected Uehara Naraku’s hand to suddenly reach out, directly gripping the gang leader’s throat and snapping his neck in an instant!

No one dared to believe this scene...

He looked like a cowardly guy, but he brazenly snapped a gang leader’s neck, especially since the person he killed was holding a loaded gun!

Many people hadn’t even reacted yet!

Uehara Naraku’s movements were fast, and he instantly grabbed the gun, though he seemed a bit inept with firearms, and it accidentally went off almost hitting Tony Stark...

But Uehara Naraku also had a solution!

In the next moment, Uehara Naraku threw the gang leader’s body, knocking over a group of people, punched another gang member in the temple, drew a fruit knife from his body, and plunged into the crowd!

Blades flashed!

Blood sprayed!

Five seconds later.

There were no more enemies around the pickup truck, and a heap of corpses lay scattered on the ground, with the smell of blood gradually wafting down the road.

Tony Stark couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Until Uehara Naraku waved a gun in front of him, Tony Stark snapped back to reality: "Hey, hey, hey, put the gun down!"

Tony Stark broke into a cold sweat!

This guy’s shooting skills are too poor!

No, this guy’s courage is too great, his combat skills are too strong, and he took out a group of gun-wielding gang members all by himself...

Even though Tony Stark had seen many bodyguards with impressive skills, he’d never seen anyone like Uehara Naraku who moved so swiftly...

This skill is simply inhuman!

"Who exactly are you..."

"Sigh, I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person..."

Uehara Naraku wiped the fruit knife and gun to remove the fingerprints: "But I encountered a group of people who take shortcuts on their short life paths..."

Uehara Naraku released the two weapons and shook his head with a sigh: "Don’t they know I’m the strongest person in this world?"

"..."

Tony Stark almost choked.

This guy... is he too full of himself?

"Enough already... killing these guys is no small trouble, even if they don’t look like good people... I’ll help deal with this mess when I get back."

Tony Stark shook his head and waved at Uehara Naraku: "Get in the car first, and tell me who you really are. Your employment history at Stark Industries never showed you have combat skills..."

If it were in the past, Tony Stark would never rashly take risks; he would definitely do everything to keep himself in a safer situation...

However, recently, due to palladium poisoning, Tony Stark can constantly estimate how much longer he has to live, and he wants to satisfy his curiosity.

Uehara Naraku doesn’t seem like a bad person either...

Not to mention anything else, Tony Stark suddenly feels that this guy Uehara Naraku is quite magnanimous; at least he didn’t take this opportunity to take action against his former boss who fired him...

Of course...

It could also be because this guy is short on cash.

"Originally, there should have been."

Uehara Naraku sat back in the driver’s seat and softly continued, "I originally wanted to join Stark Industries’ security department, but the salary you offered for the security roles was too low, so I had to slip into Stark Industries’ R&D department..."

"That salary was set by the administrative department..."

Tony Stark shook his head.

"Wait, we aren’t discussing that issue..."

Tony Stark quickly cleared his thoughts and continued to ask, "I’m curious about what kind of person would have such..."

Tony Stark shook his hand to find a suitable adjective: "...such...sharp skills...mercenary? Agent? Assassin?"

"Any of them."

Uehara Naraku nodded indifferently.

"It’s not a matter of ’any’!"

Tony Stark leaned back in his seat, nearly frustrated into anger by Uehara Naraku’s casual response; they were discussing Uehara Naraku’s past profession, how could it be just ’any’?!

In the next second...

Tony Stark suddenly realized, staring intently at Uehara Naraku, "Wait...you mean...you’ve done all of these?"

"All possible."

"Don’t be so dismissive!"

"Not talking about it."

"You must talk about it!"

"Too lazy to say."

Uehara Naraku leaned against the seat, glanced at Tony Stark, "After I send you back, remember to give me a million dollars for a confidentiality fee, don’t tell anyone, and I can pretend you didn’t see anything today..."

"Fine...wait, aren’t we reversed here?! You should be the one giving me a million-dollar confidentiality fee!"

"You don’t lack money..."

"You’re right."

Tony Stark nodded in agreement, no longer probing into Uehara Naraku’s matters, and buckled his seatbelt, "Just take me home first..."

As long as he gets home...

Tony Stark believes he has the means to investigate Uehara Naraku’s background; such a skilled guy couldn’t possibly just be inconspicuous!

Once he gets home and thoroughly investigates his background, Tony Stark will contact him, and there might be a place where he needs Uehara Naraku.

Unfortunately, Uehara Naraku didn’t take Tony Stark back to his home in Washington; he directly dropped this billionaire on the street.

"Don’t forget to pay."

"Stop mentioning money, I never care about money!"

Tony Stark leaned against the pickup truck window, speaking earnestly, "You missed the chance to possibly become friends with Iron Man..."

"Oh, I understand."

Uehara Naraku raised the window calmly.

According to some strange laws, Uehara Naraku guessed that Tony Stark, who was very curious about his past throughout the journey, is quite likely to use Jarvis to investigate Uehara Naraku’s information once he gets home.

Unless Tony Stark intentionally breaks through S.H.I.E.L.D.’s firewall and hacks into S.H.I.E.L.D.’s database, to discover Uehara Naraku’s first layer of hidden identity.

Tony Stark probably won’t think of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Tony Stark will only use crawler-type searches to capture any possible public information about Uehara Naraku online.

Therefore, Uehara Naraku must take advantage of Tony Stark’s time returning home to find someone to help create a resume that Tony Stark will believe.

This is the instinct of a master of time management.

Washington.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.

Uehara Naraku standing inside the director’s office.

Uehara Naraku reports to Nick Fury that he saved Tony Stark on the road and conveniently dealt with a gang trying to rob him, prompting Nick Fury’s eyes to brighten involuntarily.

In fact, Naraku didn’t need to reveal his plan at all, just indirectly mentioned a few things about Tony Stark’s interest in him, and Nick Fury immediately realized the value of this coincidental event...

"I’ll find a way to craft a suitable resume for you."

Nick Fury’s eyes lit up, nodding as he spoke, "All of these can be investigated by Tony Stark, entirely enabling him to trust you...

I’ll arrange for Romanoff to secretly instruct Pepper Potts to increase security, so you can return to Stark Industries, or even be by Tony’s side."

"I just happened to save Tony Stark on the way back, why am I being tasked with missions related to him..."

"This is the best opportunity."

Nick Fury looked at Uehara Naraku, seriously advising, "Naraku, I hope you will be recognized by those with superpowers in the future and become part of the Avengers initiative... Tony Stark is our first candidate for the future Avengers initiative."
