Multiverse Mastermind: Starting in Naruto

Chapter 941: Chapter 705: Uehara Naraku’s First Identity Exposure Incident

The entire video finished playing.

Everyone present had their expressions darken.

Compared to the concerns of Tony and Uehara Naraku, Pepper Potts was more concerned about Tony Stark’s health: "What does palladium poisoning mean? Why do I sense that he means your body is poisoned? Why didn’t you tell me?"

"It’s not a big deal right now..."

Tony Stark rubbed his temples, appeasing Pepper Potts’ worries as he didn’t want his physical condition to trouble those around him.

Though his health was quite dire...

But Ivan Vanko’s issue was obviously more severe.

"Jarvis!"

Tony Stark halted Pepper Potts from further inquiries, his expression steadied back to its composed form: "Check Ivan Vanko’s whereabouts; I remember he has already been sentenced to death!"

Indeed.

After causing the Monaco attack leading to multiple deaths and injuries, Ivan Vanko should have been sentenced to death early on!

Jarvis delivered rather grim news.

Twenty-four hours ago, Ivan Vanko escaped from the prison he was serving in, and until now, his whereabouts remain unknown, clearly having fallen into the hands of the so-called Hydra.

"Cough, cough..."

Blood suddenly trickled from the corner of Natasha’s lips; she pressed tightly against her kicked abdomen while speaking in pain: "Sorry, Miss Pepper, I may need to go to the hospital first..."

"I’ll have Happy take you there!"

"I’ll take her!"

Uehara Naraku took the opportunity to assist Natasha, glancing at the troubled Tony Stark, and continued: "Tony, you should have some things to say to Miss Pepper, right?"

"...Yes."

Tony Stark slowly nodded.

Since secrets about him have been exposed by Hydra, he certainly has to explain his situation to Pepper Potts and calm Little Pepper down.

A pickup truck charged out from the underground garage.

Natasha sat in the passenger seat, showing no sign of her earlier pain; she merely seized the chance to leave Tony Stark’s home and report today’s events to Nick Fury.

"You shouldn’t have left with me."

Natasha pulled out her phone, speaking calmly to Uehara Naraku: "You should stay at Tony Stark’s home to monitor his potential choices."

At this moment...

Calm returned to Natasha.

Now Natasha Romanoff’s demeanor reverted to S.H.I.E.L.D.’s ace agent, each of her words and actions seeming devoid of emotion.

"Sorry..."

Uehara Naraku looked at the restored Natasha, his gaze briefly startled, voice carrying some apology: "Special Agent Romanoff, I thought I’d really injured you... especially when I had controlled my strength..."

"Really..."

Natasha couldn’t help but shake her head, giving Uehara Naraku a look: "No wonder your acting training never passed; apart from those monster-like fighting skills, it’s entirely unclear how you joined S.H.I.E.L.D..."

"Sorry..."

"Forget it, it doesn’t matter now."

Natasha shook her head and sighed. Her phone finally connected to Nick Fury, and urgency spread across the woman’s face: "I’m with Uehara Naraku; an emergency has arisen at Stark’s home..."

Natasha had no intention to hide anything.

Be it the snake surviving after shedding skin, or the USB engraved with Hydra’s emblem, and the video inside threatening Stark, all were reported to Nick Fury.

The situation is indeed urgent.

Regardless of Hydra’s appearance or Tony Stark’s crisis, Nick Fury must find a way to address it all.

"I understand."

Nick Fury sounded extremely calm.

Even if he might feel tense inside, as the superior when both subordinates are anxious, he must exhibit a calm demeanor.

Only like this can he stabilize military morale.

"I will give you a hospital address."

Nick Fury’s voice over the phone remained steady, issuing his command with gravity: "Once Uehara drops off Special Agent Romanoff at the hospital, immediately return to Tony’s home; monitor their next interaction closely. We must approach Tony Stark ahead of time."

Yes.

They must engage with Tony Stark ahead of time.

Whether the so-called Hydra Organization is real or fake, they must preemptively contact Tony Stark lest he gets cornered.

Only S.H.I.E.L.D knows the so-called historical truth.

Following Nick Fury’s arrangements, Uehara Naraku dropped Natasha Romanoff at a hospital and embarked on returning to Tony’s villa.

On the way back.

Uehara Naraku pulled out another phone of his and dialed Alexander Pierce’s number: "Minister Pierce, our organization’s attempt to threaten Tony Stark using Ivan Vanko’s information has been found out by Nick Fury..."

"What?"

Alexander Pierce had yet to comprehend, still somewhat puzzled: "We’ve been pressuring Stark Industries with the Monaco incident in the news; Nick Fury surely knows about this... Wait, what exactly does Nick Fury know?"

In fact.

Alexander Pierce knew nothing at all.
