Behind the Scenes in Naruto World Chapter 750 The New Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Uehara Naraku

Uehara Naraku was telling the truth.

If not for his protection, Nick Fury would not have been seriously injured. At least seven or eight bullets had been shot all over his body, and there was a fatal sniper bullet in his chest.

If not for his protection…

Perhaps… Nick Fury had escaped?

Uehara Naraku’s face was filled with sadness and self-blame, and there was a touch of worry in his heart. What if Nick Fury woke up and did not agree to let him take over S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Let someone give him another shot?

Or let someone give him two more shots?

But there should be no one more suitable than him, right?

Just as Uehara Naraku and Tony Stark were waiting for Nick Fury’s operation to end, a phone suddenly rang.

“Mr. Uehara, I am Air Force Lieutenant General Ross.”

The voice on the phone was a little old and calm, “We already know about Director Nick Fury. Now, we need you to come to Washington to report to the World Security Council and the military…”

“Sir, my director is not awake yet…”

Uehara Naraku hesitated as he spoke. He continued softly, “If possible, I want to wait for Director Fury to wake up before going over…”

“There is no need for that.”

Ross rejected Uehara Naraku’s request on the other side of the line and said in an unquestionable tone, “Now it is related to the ownership of S.H.I.E.L.D. and your Avengers team…

I hope that you can arrive in Washington within an hour. This distance is not particularly difficult for a superhero, right?”

“…Yes.”

Uehara Naraku nodded awkwardly.

Now that the military and World Security Council have summoned him to report on his duties, it was almost certain that he would take over S.H.I.E.L.D…

Uehara Naraku handed over Nick Fury’s safety to Tony Stark. He turned into a blue stream of light and flew toward Washington.

Washington.

In the conference room of Triskelion.

World Security Council’s people and military representatives were all here, waiting for Uehara Naraku’s arrival. This was one of the candidates they had considered over many parties.

Ross sat in the middle of the conference room. After seeing Uehara Naraku enter the conference room, he slowly closed his palm, “Agent Uehara, let’s carry out the routine debriefing…”

“Yes.”

“We heard you gained part of the power of the Cosmic Cube…”

Ross took out the file in his hand and asked softly, “Do you think you are a superhero of the Avengers or an agent loyal to S.H.I.E.L.D.?”

When he said this, Ross waved his hand again and corrected himself, “Of course, these two are not in conflict. Have you ever thought about whether you will fly around New York in the future like Tony Stark and carry out justice…”

This was a little dangerous.

Although most Americans worshipped and liked superheroes, as representatives of the government, they would never like those uncontrollable superheroes.

“I’m sorry.”

Uehara Naraku shook his head and interrupted Ross. A serious expression flashed on his face, “If I fly in New York one day, it must be because of the orders of my superior…”

“First of all, I am S.H.I.E.L.D.’s agent.”

“Secondly, I am just a lucky one who has obtained superpower.”

“In the end, even superheroes will abide by federal laws. I don’t consider myself a superhero. I am just an agent responsible for carrying out federal missions.”

When Uehara Naraku said this, his face gradually became serious, “The Avengers Initiative is Director Fury’s plan, and the role of a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in the Avengers is to guide those who may not be willing to follow the law to continue to follow the law…”

“We understand.”

Ross stretched out his hand to answer Uehara Naraku.

However, a smile flashed across his lips. He did not say much about what Uehara Naraku said.

Although he did not know if what Uehara Naraku said was true or not

But without a doubt, Uehara Naraku’s attitude was much better than the other superheroes. At least he was someone who seemed willing to contribute his strength.

Other things aside…

This Uehara Naraku was willing to abide by the law. It sounded like his ideological awareness was much higher than the other superheroes. He was much better than Tony Stark.

“The second question.”

Ross continued to flip through the documents in his hands and continued with a smile, “What do you think about Director Nick Fury’s Avengers Initiative?”

“…”

After a moment of silence, Uehara Naraku finally spoke up, “Sorry, I can’t provide my opinion, because this is Director Fury’s plan.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Ross spread out his palm indifferently and chuckled, “Agent Uehara, you can talk freely here. Iron Man, Hulk, Captain Rogers, pick any one of them, no matter who it is…”

“Is there anything else to say?”

Uehara Naraku raised his eyebrows and looked at everyone present, “Because of the Avengers Initiative, these superheroes are at least willing to listen to some of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s orders…”

He could talk casually to the previous question.

But at this time, he absolutely could not make a casual statement.

This was because the Avengers were actually much more important than S.H.I.E.L.D.. That was the ultimate force that would protect Earth in the future.

“Then let’s skip this topic first…”

Ross opened the last document and his expression gradually became solemn, “I heard that you are a member of Akatsuki, representing Earth to join this cosmic organization. What do you think about Akatsuki Organization?”

“I have not completely grasped the information about Akatsuki.”

Uehara Naraku frowned and his face became more and more serious, “There is one thing I can tell you, Earth must find a way to occupy a place in this organization. This is also the task that Director Fury gave me.

The Akatsuki Organization is a cosmic peace organization that may very well determine the fate of many planets, but the Earth cannot leave its fate to others.

If Akatsuki is a rule…

Then we must find a way to slowly grasp the rules.

At least now we know part of the rules. If the Earth still has members in the Akatsuki Organization, the Battle of New York will become a battlefield between the Akatsuki Organization and the Chitauri, but how the war will be resolved will be left to Earth…”

“…”

Ross fell silent.

This Air Force Lieutenant General turned to discuss with the few old men next to him. Their voices were very low, whispering in front of Uehara Naraku.

This so-called report was actually just a formality.

Because S.H.I.E.L.D. could not find a better candidate than Uehara Naraku, they just casually wanted to inspect Uehara Naraku to make the last insurance.

After a simple chat, Ross thought that this candidate was almost suitable, and the World Security Council’s people also thought that it was possible… The only problem was probably when Nick Fury woke up.

Anyway…

This was considered as them seizing power when Nick Fury was inconvenient.

In fact, it was not considered seizing power, because Uehara Naraku showed that he was very obedient to Nick Fury’s orders in the data.

In other words, Uehara Naraku was very respectful to the orders of almost any superior, and he did not seem to have made any mistakes in his principles.

“Then, Agent Uehara.”

After chatting for a while, Ross’ eyes fell on Uehara Naraku again, “During the time when Director Nick Fury is recuperating, S.H.I.E.L.D.’s intelligence work will fall on you. I hope you can take the responsibility of S.H.I.E.L.D Acting Director…”

“Acting Director?”

Uehara Naraku raised his head in disbelief.

“Yes.”

Ross spread out his hands and explained, “Because of the assassination attempt on Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D. became a group of dragons without a leader. Someone must take on Fury’s responsibility…”

Ross looked at Uehara Naraku and continued, “You represent Earth in Akatsuki Organization. You also need a high position…”

This was the most important reason why they considered Uehara Naraku.

Compared to other people, Uehara Naraku’s advantage was unique.

No one could be sure whether Earth will encounter interstellar wars in the future. It was no doubt that it was not a bad thing to train a qualified Earth representative in advance…

To be honest…

If some of them present could get a part of the energy of the Cosmic Cube and join Akatsuki as the Earth representative, they could at least get a high position in the White House…

Ross looked at Uehara Naraku, who was stunned by their decision. He chuckled and continued to talk about the reason why the World Security Council and the military supported Uehara Naraku to become the acting director of S.H.I.E.L.D..

“You are the Earth representative in Akatsuki…”

“You are also a member of the Avengers…”

“We have thought about it for a long time. There is no one more suitable than you. At least when Fury is recovering, S.H.I.E.L.D.’s work will be handed over to you…”

Buzz Buzz Buzz…

The dull vibration of the phone interrupted Uehara Naraku’s appointment. Tony Stark’s profile picture was shaking frequently on the screen…

“Sorry, I have to answer a phone call.”

Uehara Naraku touched his phone and continued softly, “Director Fury’s operation should be successful. I have to rush back to New York immediately…”

“Uehara…”

There was a bit of hesitation and uneasiness in Tony Stark’s voice. He carefully continued, “Fury’s operation failed… The time of his death was one minute ago…”

“…”

Uehara Naraku fell into a strange silence.

At this time, there was no need to think about it. Uehara Naraku guessed that Nick Fury might fake his death because Nick Fury liked to do this kind of thing…

Moreover…

At that time, Uehara Naraku was by Nick Fury’s side. He was the one who took Nick Fury to the hospital after he was sure that his life was not in particular danger after he was shot…

If Nick Fury had died by Uehara Naraku’s side, Uehara Naraku would have used the time stone to reset the time!

The problem was…

Why did this guy fake his death?

Could it be that he didn’t trust his successor?

If it was in the original timeline, it was understandable for Nick Fury to choose to use fake death to deceive Alexander Pierce and Hydra… In this situation, why was Nick Fury still pretending to be dead? Was it just to get rid of the trouble of the Hydra spy in S.H.I.E.L.D.?

After talking with Tony Stark, Uehara Naraku directly reported the matter of Nick Fury’s death to Ross and the World Security Council. The whole conference hall was shocked.

“…”

Ross looked at Uehara Naraku, and then at the rest of the people present. He continued slowly, “Agent Uehara, it seems that I have to call you Director Uehara Naraku in advance. Then, I ask Director Uehara Naraku to take office immediately!”

New York.

In the Stark Hospital.

Tony Stark hung up his phone and looked speechlessly at Nick Fury who was lying on the bed, “Is there a need to hide something like fake death from Uehara?”

Yes.

This was what Nick Fury meant.

This S.H.I.E.L.D. Director wanted to pretend to be dead for no reason. Tony Stark did not understand what Nick Fury was thinking. Was it necessary?

“Let’s hide it from him first…”

Nick Fury looked at Tony Stark and sighed softly, “This is an opportunity to eliminate the Hydra spies lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D… Only when I die will they come out.”

“That’s hard to say…”

There was still some hesitation on Tony Stark’s face. He continued slowly, “Speaking of which, it seems that Uehara is going to become the new S.H.I.E.L.D. Director…”

“…Isn’t that better?”

Nick Fury slowly closed his eyes and continued in a soft voice, “No matter if it is S.H.I.E.L.D. or Avengers, nothing too big will happen…”

Nick Fury suddenly opened his single eye and said coldly, “Moreover, we can also see what those people want to do after assassinating me!”

What was more…

It was not a bad thing for Uehara Naraku to become S.H.I.E.L.D. Director…

In that bloated S.H.I.E.L.D. filled with spies, a superhero director appeared… and Uehara Naraku was not only a member of the Avengers but also a member of the Cosmic Peace Organization.

He indeed needs a higher position.

Of course.

Nick Fury also suspected Uehara Naraku.

Therefore, he asked Tony Stark to hide the fact that he faked his death from Uehara Naraku because he had some doubts about him. This old and shrewd agent would not believe anyone after being assassinated…

However, what Nick Fury did not expect was that after Uehara Naraku accepted the S.H.I.E.L.D. Director position, the first thing he did was to come to Stark Hospital to visit his body…

He never expected this…

No, this doesn’t seem to be unexpected…

At least it means that this subordinate still has a conscience.

Tony Stark could only say that Nick Fury’s body had been taken to the incinerator in New York, and slowly changed the subject, “Hey, hey, hey. Now, you are replacing Fury as S.H.I.E.L.D. Director. What are you going to do? Gather everyone?”

“I don’t know…”

Uehara Naraku shook his head and said softly, “I should first find a way to find out the whereabouts of those Hydra and kill them all to avenge Director Fury… As for S.H.I.E.L.D.’s affairs, the World Security Council will help to deal with them.”

Uehara Naraku slowly leaned back against the wall. He could clearly feel Nick Fury’s suppressed breathing coming from the room behind the wall.

This guy…

As expected, he was faking his death!

Did this old boss not trust him?

Damn…

Did you not eat enough bullets?

Why did this bastard Nick Fury not trust him? Just because he became the new S.H.I.E.L.D. Director?

Was he still a human?

Uehara Naraku sighed in his heart, and a hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes. He chatted with Tony Stark while expressing his attitude toward Nick Fury, who was hiding behind him.

“Forget it, let’s do it like this. I have never thought of becoming the S.H.I.E.L.D. Director, just hand over that troublesome power directly to them. Like Captain Rogers, I am only responsible for carrying out missions…”
