Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Shadows of the Past
While Jason focused on infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D., his presence in the world of the Hand Ninja was far from forgotten. The organization had its own set of enemies, and as Jason's influence grew, so did the number of people who wished to see him fail. Every move he made was being watched by potential rivals within the Hand, waiting for the smallest mistake to take advantage of. But Jason was not afraid of them.
With his alliances now beginning to solidify, Jason was preparing for a new phase in his plans—a phase that would set the stage for his eventual takeover of both the Hand and S.H.I.E.L.D. The pieces of his grand scheme were falling into place, and with every passing mission, his power grew exponentially.
But Jason couldn't afford to take his eyes off of his enemies, nor could he afford to forget the lessons he had learned from his past life. Every decision had consequences. Every battle, every spy mission, and every manipulation was a stepping stone on the road to ultimate power.
The world would bow before him—but Jason knew that first, he had to ensure that nothing would stand in his way.
