The Arrival of Naruto in the Marvel Universe

Chapter 617: Chapter 616: Arrangements



S.H.I.E.L.D. Triskelion-

 

In the conference room-

 

Nick Fury had just briefed the United Nations Security Council on his emergency plan.

 

Besides the agents who had received the physical enhancement serum, he proposed getting help of the Hulk, Bruce Banner; Iron Man, Tony Stark; and the recently awakened Captain America, Steve Rogers.

 

Looking at the council members appearing through the virtual screen, one council member spoke up:

 

"You've gone too far, Director Fury."

 

"You're talking about forces you can't control."

 

Nick Fury didn't follow the council member's lead, instead, he asked, "Councilor, have you ever fought in a war?"

 

"Have you ever experienced the need for absolute control?"

 

The councilor asked, "Are you saying this alien has declared war on Earth?"

 

"Yes, Councilor."

 

"The alien came directly to steal the Tesseract, clearly a premeditated act."

 

"So, in response to this sudden situation, we need an emergency response team."

 

The councilor paused for a moment before saying, "The Avengers Initiative has already been canceled."

 

Nick Fury countered, "I'm not referring to the Avengers."

 

The councilor said, "I've seen that list. You have a top-secret global espionage organization, and yet you want to entrust humanity's fate to a group of freaks?"

 

"I'm not handing anything over to anyone, but we do need an emergency response team."

 

"These individuals might be solitary, even abnormal."

 

"But I believe that with the right motivation, they can provide the help we need."

 

A female councilor asked, "Do you believe that?"

 

The male councilor who had spoken earlier said, "Emotions don't win wars, Director."

 

"That's right, only soldiers do."

 

Despite the initial resistance, Nick Fury's persuasive skills eventually convinced the Security Council.

 

They approved his request to form the emergency response team, agreeing to recruit the necessary personnel according to Fury's plan, but they also stressed that this alien threat must be neutralized.

 

With the council's approval, Nick Fury immediately went to find Steve Rogers, who was adapting to his enhanced body in the base's gym.

 

Steve Rogers was currently punching an iron dummy. After the second round of physical enhancement serum, punching bags were no longer effective for him.

 

Steve Rogers' fists hammered the iron dummy, each punch leaving a deep dent.

 

As he continued to punch, Steve's mind wandered back to the wartime era, battling Hydra, crashing the plane into the ocean, and remembering the woman he had missed his date with.

 

Fueled by anger, Steve Rogers eventually punched straight through the dummy.

 

Looking at his handiwork, he shook his head, marveling at how his strength had increased after waking up.

 

Just as Steve was about to practice his speed, Nick Fury entered the gym and asked:

 

"Can't sleep?"

 

"I slept for 70 years."

 

"I think I've slept enough."

 

Nick Fury walked toward Rogers and said, "Then you should get out and take a walk."

 

"Celebrate a bit, see the world."

 

Rogers glanced at Nick Fury and said, "When I was reflecting, the world was still at war."

 

"When I woke up, they said the war was won, but they didn't mention what we lost."

 

"And I don't understand, if the war is over, why was I given the enhancement serum again?"

 

Nick Fury, looking serious, said, "We've been making mistakes all along, some of which continue to this day."

 

"Are you here to talk about a mission, Director?"

 

"Yes."

 

"I figured that giving me that stuff to enhance my abilities was just to make me keep fighting for you."

 

"It's to help you save the world."

 

Nick Fury handed the mission briefing to Steve Rogers.

 

Steve Rogers took the file from Fury and opened the first page, seeing it labeled as a S.H.I.E.L.D. level 7 file.

 

Seeing the Tesseract on the document, Rogers murmured, "Hydra's secret weapon."

 

Nick Fury explained, "Howard Stark recovered it from the ocean while searching for you."

 

"He, like us, believed the Tesseract was key to developing unlimited energy."

 

"This is the power humanity desperately needs."

 

Steve Rogers closed the file and asked, "Who took it?"

 

"An alien. If you join, there's a lot you'll need to know."

 

"The world has changed in ways that will seem strange compared to your memories."

 

But Steve Rogers wasn't surprised; he simply said, "At this point, I don't think anything can surprise me."

 

Nick Fury replied, "I'll bet ten bucks you'll take back those words."

 

"I've placed the mission information in your apartment. Do you have anything to say about the Tesseract?"

 

As Rogers turned to leave, he said, "You shouldn't have recovered it."

 

 

 

 

Elsewhere-

 

Tony Stark had just returned to the rooftop of Stark Tower after disconnecting the building's power grid under the sea.

 

Before he could share a few tender moments with Pepper, JARVIS's voice interrupted.

 

"Sir, Agent Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D. is on the phone."

 

"Tell him I'm out."

 

"Yes, sir."

 

Tony, in the process of removing his Iron Man suit, smiled at the view and said, "I am indeed out."

 

"Sir, he insists on speaking with you."

 

"Be more assertive, JARVIS."

 

"I have a date later."

 

Pepper, looking at the power grid diagram and information display, said, "The power supply is stable."

 

Tony, stepping inside, proudly said, "Of course, I handled it personally."

 

"By the way, I've been wondering, Pepper, how does it feel to be a genius?"

 

Pepper laughed and said, "How would I know?"

 

Tony Stark retorted, "What are you talking about? The successful transformation of Stark Industries is all thanks to you."

 

Pepper Potts pointed to the latest arc reactor on Tony's chest and said, "No, it's all thanks to this."

 

"Come on, don't be so modest."

 

"Stark Tower is like your baby; you deserve twelve percent of the credit."

 

Pepper, displeased, replied, "Only twelve percent?"

 

Tony said, "We could negotiate it up to fifteen percent."

 

Pepper walked towards the dining table, pouring champagne as she said, "My baby, and I only get twelve percent of the credit."

 

Tony explained, "Well, I did most of the heavy lifting."

 

"Literally, I moved all the heavy stuff."

 

At that moment, Tony noticed his private elevator was operating automatically and said, "And by the way, how about security breaches? That should be on you."

 

"My private elevator."

 

Pepper, now at the table, picked up a bottle of champagne and started pouring. "You mean our elevator, right?"

 

As Tony continued to flirt with Pepper, JARVIS's voice suddenly came through:

 

"Apologies, sir. My programming might have been tampered with. Your call has been connected."

 

Agent Coulson's voice then came through the phone, "Stark, we need to talk."

 

Tony picked up the phone and spoke to the screen, "You are now seeing a virtual image of Tony Stark. Please leave a message."

 

"It's urgent."

 

"Then say it urgently."

 

Pepper couldn't help but laugh at Tony's antics.

 

At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and Coulson walked in.

 

Tony, looking at Pepper, quipped, "See, security breach. That's on you."

 

Coulson greeted Tony, "Mr. Stark."

 

Pepper turned and said, "Phil, come on in."

 

Coulson entered, saying, "I can't stay long."

 

As Pepper walked over to welcome him, Tony followed and said, "Phil? I thought his name was Agent."

 

Pepper said, "Come in, we're celebrating."

 

Tony, however, was trying to get rid of Coulson, "He just said he can't stay long."

 

Coulson took out a notebook and said, "So please look at this quickly."

 

Seeing the notebook, Tony said, "I don't like being handed things."

 

Pepper quickly intervened, "It's okay, I like being handed things."

 

Pepper took the notebook from Coulson and handed it to Tony.

 

As Tony accepted it, he said, "My official consultation hours are every Thursday from eight to five."

 

This was Tony Stark's formal consulting time as an advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D.

 

Coulson responded, "This isn't an official consultation."

 

Pepper asked, "Is this about the Avengers Initiative?"

 

Coulson, slightly exasperated, looked at Pepper, thinking to himself how involved Tony had gotten her.

 

Being his girlfriend, she knew everything.

 

Seeing Coulson's serious expression, Pepper Potts waved her hand and said, "I don't know anything about that."

 

Tony turned and opened his computer, walking as he said, "Wasn't the Avengers Initiative scrapped?"

 

"Besides, I don't want to join any Avengers."

 

Pepper Potts explained, "I know nothing about this either."

 

Tony moved to his desk and linked his computer to his AI, JARVIS.

 

He then synced all the video files from the computer to the virtual screen in his office.

 

Soon, the files displayed information about the Hulk, Bruce Banner, the recently thawed Captain America, Steve Rogers, Thor Odinson, and the Tesseract being stolen.

 

Seeing these, Pepper Potts said, "I'll fly to Washington tonight."

 

Tony tried to persuade her, "How about tomorrow?"

 

"You have a lot of work to do."

 

"What if I say I don't?"

 

Pepper then whispered something into Tony's ear.

 

Hearing this, Tony's face lit up with a smile. He then said, "Deal. Have a safe trip."

 

Pepper Potts kissed Tony Stark and said, "Work hard."

 

She then turned and left the office, preparing to fly to Washington overnight to oversee the implementation of clean energy in three landmark buildings.

 

Seeing that he had handled Tony Stark, Coulson didn't linger either. The mission details were all in the files. He left the building with Pepper Potts.

 

 

 

 

The next day-

 

In the conference room at the Charles Base-

 

Charles Doyle sat at the head of the table, looking at the group of ninjas below: Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Shizune, Iruka Umino, Kakashi Hatake, Yamato, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and other adult ninjas.

 

On the other side were Tenten, Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akimichi, Obito Uchiha, and Hanabi Hyuga.

 

Charles noticed that he had 26 ninjas here, not counting those stationed at the three ninja villages and Kabuto Yakushi.

 

Unknowingly, his ninja force had grown to 43.

 

Besides these ninjas, there were Ginny, John Wick, Wesley, Cross, Selene, and Michael among his followers.

 

Other werewolves who had joined them didn't have the qualifications to attend this meeting, including Eddie, the Venom host.

 

Charles scanned the ninjas around him and then said, "According to the information I received, a major alien invasion will soon occur in New York."

 

"The enemy is a large group of aliens. Fortunately, although they are numerous, they are not very strong. As long as you take it seriously, there should be no life-threatening danger."

 

"I've gathered you here today to inform you that war is imminent. You need to prepare, and I have some tasks to assign to you."

 

Hearing that the enemy was weak, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and waited for Charles's orders.

 

"Over the years, I've established three orphanages in New York. To prevent them from being affected by the war, Iruka Umino, Shizune, Hanabi Hyuga, and Obito Uchiha, you four will guard the Hope Orphanage in Hell's Kitchen to protect it from any attacks."

 

"This mission will be classified as an A-rank mission."

 

"Yes, Lord Charles!"

 

The four of them responded.

 

Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga were a bit worried about Hanabi Hyuga, who was the weakest among the ninjas here and hadn't formally become a ninja yet.

 

"Team 8—Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame—you will be responsible for the security of the Hope Orphanage's second branch."

 

"Yes, Lord Charles!"

 

"Team 10—Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Choji Akimichi—you three will be responsible for the security of the Hope Orphanage's third branch."

 

"Yes, Lord Charles!"

 

Quickly, Charles assigned the weakest ninjas to protect the orphanages.
