Chapter 761 - We Are on the Same Boat!
Behind the Scenes in Naruto World Chapter 761 We Are on the Same Boat!
Once a certain person was dead.
It doesn’t matter what anyone else says about his last words.
When Uehara Naraku said the last words, he almost couldn’t help but believe that the Goddess of Death, Hela, was definitely the master behind Hydra.
Uehara Naraku almost believed it. Tony Stark naturally believed it. He could not find the reason for Uehara Naraku to lie.
Tony Stark even felt a little guilty toward Uehara Naraku.
Tony Stark’s eyes were a little dodgeful. Uehara Naraku was still fighting Hydra to avenge Nick Fury, his late boss. He had no idea that Nick Fury, this bald director, was faking his death and was even quietly influencing S.H.I.E.L.D..
Of course.
Now was not the time to expose Nick Fury. What they needed to do was continue to investigate Hydra and avenge the previous president who had just died.
Uehara Naraku took back his tablet and sat in his seat, “I will let S.H.I.E.L.D. investigate the man who killed the president. As for now, I need to visit our new president and solve his security problem.
The directors of S.H.I.E.L.D., the late president died at the hands of terrorists. Maybe I will be demoted or something.”
After all, the president was killed by terrorists. The director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the leader of the secret agents, would definitely be blamed.
Coincidentally…
The new president could take this opportunity to plant his own people.
On top of all that, there’s the trouble of Tony Stark and James Rhodes.
Speaking up to this point, Uehara Naraku glanced at Tony Stark and James Rhodes and continued softly, “Also, Tony, you may face charges and need to attend a hearing about the murder of the president. I don’t know much about this. Is there anything I can help with?”
“It’s fine, I will handle it myself.”
Tony Stark rubbed his forehead. Because the president had died in front of him and James Rhodes, this hearing could not be avoided no matter what.T/his chapter is updat/𝓮d by n𝒐v(ê(l)biin.c/o/m
However, for Tony Stark, it was not a big problem.
Compared to the hearing that Tony Stark needed to participate in, what James Rhodes would encounter next was the real big trouble because he was a military personnel responsible for protecting the president.
“Lieutenant Rhodes…”
Uehara Naraku’s gaze shifted to James Rhodes and his expression gradually became serious, “I’m sorry, I have to carry out my duties. You are directly related to the murder of the president.”
Strictly speaking, because James Rhodes was captured, the terrorists could use his steel suit to sneak into Air Force One and kidnap the president.
“Yes, Sir.”
James Rhodes was already prepared for this. He sighed softly and calmly extended his hands toward Uehara Naraku.
Tony Stark’s expression was a little ugly. He glanced at James Rhodes who was about to be cuffed, and then looked at Uehara Naraku. He frowned and said, “Wait, Uehara. You should have seen what kind of power that purple-haired guy has. Rhodes, he…”
“Tony!”
James Rhodes stopped his good friend and shook his head, “No matter what, it is indeed my fault. I have to face the court-martial.”
“…”
Uehara Naraku ignored their discussion and waved his hand to have two agents cuff and detain James Rhodes.
Throughout the entire flight, Tony Stark did not have good expression.
Because, according to the court-martial procedure, the possibility of James Rhodes being sentenced guilty of being directly responsible for the president’s murder was extremely high.
Even though Uehara Naraku saved them, Tony Stark was still a little unhappy, because on the way, he wanted to say something, but the indifference on Uehara Naraku’s face made Tony Stark have no choice but to shrink back.
Obviously.
No matter how he pleaded, it was useless.
Instead of thinking of ways to persuade Uehara Naraku here, it was better to find other people, even Nick Fury, the guy who faked his death, might be more reliable than Uehara Naraku.
When they arrived at Washington, the group parted.
Uehara Naraku got into a bulletproof car and looked at the distant figures of Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. He suddenly called out to stop them.
“Tony, wait a minute!”
“En, I don’t have time to chat.”
Tony Stark walked over. He leaned against the window of the bulletproof car and muttered, “I need to find a way to save my innocent friend quickly.”
“…”
Uehara Naraku hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, “As long as it can’t be proven that Lieutenant Rhodes has some collusion with Killian, this will make him one of the victims Killian wants to harm. I will transfer him to S.H.I.E.L.D. custody while he waits for his trial.”
This approach would give James Rhodes the greatest chance of exonerating.
As long as James Rhodes was proven, he didn’t collude with Kilian. In this way, he was not a soldier who failed to protect the president, but a victim of the Kilian incident.
Uehara Naraku wants to use his identity as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. to rescue James Rhodes.
Tony Stark instantly understood what Uehara Naraku meant. He stared at Uehara Naraku for a long time and nodded vigorously.
“Thank you.”
“No need to thank me, because we all know that Lieutenant Rhodes is innocent.”
Uehara Naraku slowly shook his head and said softly, “If there are no problems with the military, I would like Lieutenant Rhodes to join the Avengers team as War Machine or Iron Patriot. Do you have any other ideas?”
“That’s great.”
Tony Stark was happy to see this. He shrugged indifferently and said, “It looks like I have to make a new Mark 2 steel suit for him when I go back.”
“Well, then. Goodbye.”
Uehara Naraku waved his hand, rolled up the car window, and whispered to the driver sitting in front, “Let’s go to the White House to meet our new president.”
White House.
The new president was very arrogant.
Because he was involved in the plan of the president’s murder, he could be said to have relied on his own strength to sit on the throne of the head of this country.
However, the new president still had some things on his mind.
Because Killian died on Christmas night, it directly caused the new president to be unable to confirm whether other people knew about his relationship with Killian. Otherwise, once he made a mistake, he would definitely be impeached off the stage and even be jailed.
Therefore…
He had to think of a way to solve this problem.
Of course, before that, the new president urgently hoped that there were still people among the terrorists who could regenerate broken limbs!
Because his most beloved daughter was a disabled person, she still needed the Extremis virus to stand up and walk again. After he made up for this regret, he would find his confidant to kill the group of terrorists and eliminate future troubles!
According to the United States tradition, the president’s family would also move to the White House. They could even hold important positions in the White House and directly participate in politics. For example, the president who had just been killed on Christmas Eve liked to let his eldest daughter and eldest son-in-law participate in politics.
Just as the new president wanted to see his daughter, a space door quietly appeared in the office. A light purple-haired man walked out.
It was Ichimaru Gin who had killed the previous president on Christmas Eve!
“Looks like your new office is not bad.”
Ichimaru Gin slowly sat down on the chair next to him. He smiled and hugged his arm, “What a pity. Mr. Killian died very miserably. Now, we can’t share the joy of our success together.”
“Who told you to come?”
The new president’s eyes couldn’t help but jump. His face instantly turned cold. He said in a deep voice, “There are security cameras everywhere in the White House. If they know about my relationship with you…”
“What does that have to do with you?”
Ichimaru Gin smiled and narrowed his eyes. He said lightly, “For us, you are just a pawn to be supported. As long as you are obedient, it is enough. If you are not obedient enough, we can find a way to support another one.”
“You!!”
This new president’s heart suddenly twitched. He pressed his palm against the desk in front of him and forced himself to maintain his attitude, “Don’t think that I have to listen to your orders. Only cooperation can achieve our goal.
I am the only one in the entire government who will support your Extremis virus. Only I will cooperate with you terrorists in order to let my daughter stand up again! “
After he finished speaking, the new president felt that something was wrong.
Why did this terrorist look like he could fall out with him at any time, but he, the most powerful person, had to emphasize cooperation and win-win situation here?
Damn!
Was the relationship between them reversed?
Now that he had taken the position of president, shouldn’t this terrorist be worried that he, the new president, would turn against him and refuse to acknowledge his debt? Why was he still acting so fearlessly?
“Cooperate?”
The corners of Ichimaru Gin’s mouth still hung a smile. His hands were tucked in his sleeves as he slowly continued, “If Killian was still alive, maybe we wouldn’t mind cooperating because I don’t want to deal with you chess pieces of chess pieces.”
When he said this, Ichimaru Gin paused for a second. His eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of cold eyes, “Now that Killian is dead, what we need is a chess piece that can be 100% obedient.”
“You!!”
The corner of the new president’s eyes trembled a little. His lips quivered as he said, “Isn’t Killian your leader?”
Why did things seem to have gone wrong again?
On the surface, the leader of this group of terrorists was Mandarin; but in reality, it was the terrifying scientist, Aldrich Killian, who was controlling all of this. However, someone was now telling him that Killian was just a chess piece being manipulated!
This group of terrorists standing behind Killian…
What exactly is this organization? Who is he?
Damn!
What kind of organization did he come into contact with?
Now, this organization had come to force him, the new president, into submission!
Just as the new president was about to have a good talk with Ichimaru Gin with an ugly expression, a phone call suddenly rang in his office. It was from his secretary.
“Sir, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Uehara Naraku is here. He is in the reception room. He wants to discuss the security problem with you.”
“I know.”
The new president looked at Ichimaru Gin in front of him and coldly ordered the other side of the line, “Let him wait in the reception room for a while. I have something to do here.”
“Don’t let him wait.”
Ichimaru Gin suddenly interrupted the new president. He narrowed his eyes again and smiled, “It’s not convenient for me to appear in the corridor. I’m going to prepare something here. I can only ask our new president to greet him.”
“…”
The new president’s face fell into a strange silence. His palm tightly covered the microphone and he said coldly, “If I remember correctly, you two just met last Christmas Eve. He…
He Uehara Naraku, a superhero and also the director of a special department S.H.I.E.L.D.. His duty is to clean up all of you terrorists who endanger the world!”
“I got it.”
Ichimaru Gin smiled and nodded. He continued slowly, “Then hurry up and welcome him. It’s best if we don’t let our director wait too long!”
“This is very dangerous!”
The new president held the microphone tightly and said with an ugly expression, “Once our relationship is exposed in front of S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Uehara…”
“Don’t worry.”
Ichimaru Gin’s eyes opened again. He slowly walked to the desk and looked at the cold sweat on the new president’s face. He couldn’t help but chuckle, “If you go any slower, that’s the real danger to you.”
“I’ll call him to come over.”
As the president, he has to maintain his dignity.
Even when he was still the vice president, he still had the power to call over Uehara Naraku, this S.H.I.E.L.D. Director, but they had never interacted with each other before.
“I advise you to greet him personally.”
Ichimaru Gin sat back down next to his chair. He reached for a clean cup, grabbed a few oranges from the fruit plate on the table, and squeezed them with his spiritual power. He tried to squeeze out a glass of juice bit by bit.
“Shut up!”
The new president interrupted Ichimaru Gin with an ugly expression before he ordered his secretary, “Have Director Uehara come directly to my office.”
After he finished speaking, the new president hung up.
After putting down the phone, he no longer hid the anger on his face, “This S.H.I.E.L.D. Director is not like that old fox Nick Fury, the previous director. He is just a stupid young man who just took office not long ago. What are you still doing here?”
“Do you want to meet him here?”
“Do you want to fight him directly in the White House?”
“Now go inside and hide, or get out of here!”
The new president waved his hand to signal Ichimaru Gin to hide in the small bedroom next to the office. After talking for a while, his anger gradually dissipated, and his attitude became better again, “Don’t worry, I won’t sell you out. You will know everything I say to Director Uehara.”
“Is that so?”
Ichimaru Gin lowered his head and chuckled. He reached out and picked up the glass of juice that he had squeezed with spiritual energy. He slowly stood up and walked to the door of the office.
Ichimaru Gin ignored the increasingly ugly expression on the new president’s face and continued with a smile, “However, Mr. President, there is one thing you said wrong. No matter what we talk about, I will let Director Uehara know it.”
“What the hell are you trying to do!”
The new president’s eyes were a little panicked and uneasy.
Does this guy called Ichimaru Gin want to expose them? Is it too late to pretend to be kidnapped by Ichimaru Gin? Can he deceive the new director, Uehara Naraku?
If he acted like he was kidnapped by Ichimaru Gin now, could he deceive Uehara Naraku?
Just as the new president was thinking, the door to the president’s office suddenly opened, and Uehara Naraku, dressed in a black leather coat, stepped in.
The new president immediately showed an expression as if he had seen his savior. He hurriedly asked for help, “Director Uehara, be careful of the murderer. He wants the White House…”
Before he could finish asking for help, the new president’s voice stopped abruptly.
Because in his line of sight, Ichimaru Gin just smiled and lowered his head. He raised the juice in his hand and handed it to Uehara Naraku.
“Your juice, my lord.”
“En!”
Uehara Naraku took the juice from Ichimaru Gin’s hand and drank it in one gulp. He then clicked his tongue and praised, “Tsk, the taste is not bad. Did Kabuto teach you how to use spiritual energy to squeeze juice?”
“Yes.”
The picture of the two of them getting along was very harmonious.
It seemed that their relationship had always been so familiar.
It seemed that Uehara Naraku had always been so familiar with Ichimaru Gin’s offerings.
