To be honest...
Nick Fury doesn't quite seem like Hydra.
In fact, the President thinks Uehara Naraku acts more like Hydra.
However, due to Naraku having some issues and holding leverage, the President could only unwillingly accept the documents.
"I will make the arrangements."
The old man nodded slowly at the documents and suddenly looked up: "Why isn't there any other detailed corroborating information? It feels all like data. Is this real? Is Nick Fury really a Hydra spy?"
"No, I made it up."
Uehara Naraku slowly shook his head and continued, "But the data in there is true and valid. Nick Fury is unaware of all of it... because I am the current biggest head of Hydra!"
These two sentences almost choked the President directly!
Who the hell dares to bring fake documents to him! Does Uehara Naraku not know how to do his job, or does he just like to tell the truth too much!
Couldn't he tell a lie at this moment?
To hunt someone down, the charges need to be solidified!
And a head of Hydra sitting in the position of their archenemy, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., how rotten has this government become!
If it weren't...
If it weren't for Uehara Naraku having his leverage and threatening to turn against him, the new President would really want to have him arrested...
The President looked down at the so-called information in his hand again, which was really hard to describe. It was mostly about Nick Fury's relations with Alexander Pierce, and the increase in Hydra spies within S.H.I.E.L.D. during Fury's tenure...
To be honest...
It doesn't provide full evidence.
It could, however, prove that Nick Fury is suspected of being a head of Hydra.
These violent types always lack brains, and he is supposed to teach this rookie Uehara Naraku how to lie...
The President couldn't help but sigh, putting down the documents, speaking earnestly: "I have never heard you mention any of this today... Director Uehara, you are the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., responsible only for managing the security departments directly under the World Security Council."
"Tsk... Understood."
Uehara Naraku looked at the old man in front of him and chuckled, nodding: "I really admire you presidents, able to straightly lie with your eyes open, I can only hope Mr. President will take good care of me in the future..."
"..."
The President couldn't help but choke again.
You're no good either!
A Hydra terrorist leader seated in the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s position, and orchestrating a president switch here, claiming to be an honest man?
Really think he's blind and deaf?
"Also, besides these..."
Uehara Naraku tapped his finger on the table, continuing: "Stark Industries Group's hospital should have more evidence, as Nick Fury's last medical location before faking his death was at Stark Industries Hospital... We have reason to suspect Tony Stark and Nick Fury are related."
"This..."
The President's eyes narrowed instantly!
"Colonel Rhodes is a friend of Tony Stark, so we can reasonably suspect that he might also be colluding with Hydra."
Uehara Naraku ignored the President's gaze and calmly continued: "Coincidentally, the one who assassinated the former president, Gin, is confirmed to be a Hydra officer..."
"..."
As the President listened to this, he just felt a headache coming on.
Uehara Naraku casually spoke his fabricated reasoning: "If we can manage it properly, we can pin everything on them.
Using your earlier statement, the former president's murder on Christmas Eve was definitely plotted by Nick Fury and Hydra together; he might have used Tony Stark and Colonel Rhodes, they could also have been in collusion.
Otherwise, why didn't Gin kill Tony Stark and Colonel Rhodes?
Even Tony's girlfriend Pepper Potts survived, but ultimately only our poor former President died there."
Uehara Naraku leaned in slightly, coldly continuing: "If this all links together, it should bring quite a bit of trouble to Tony Stark and the others, right?"
"..."
The President felt his scalp tingle.
In this moment, he wanted to take back his words.
As expected, Uehara Naraku's previous appearance was all a façade; Naraku is definitely no political novice, this guy is clearly a master of manipulation!
Had the President not already known the truth of it all being secretly orchestrated by Uehara Naraku, he too would surely believe that the former president's death was all a setup by Nick Fury and Tony Stark with Hydra based on what Naraku just said!
This Uehara Naraku...
Is indeed quite terrifying...
The President took a deep breath, his face somewhat heavy: "If not for us being involved, I actually think what you said makes a lot of sense..."
"Of course, it makes sense."
Uehara Naraku laughed lightly and continued: "Hydra is under me, everything about Tony Stark and Nick Fury I see clearly; what I say is the truth."
"..."
Listening to Uehara Naraku's words, the President just felt a chill creeping up his back, as if through Naraku's smile, he could see the darkness within him.
This young man's smile was very sunny.
Yet beneath his smile was a terrifying dark giant, manipulating the fates of countless people with his hands.
Everyone thought the Christmas Eve assassination of the President was the end of a terrorist act when in reality, it was just the beginning...
This guy's layout...
Is indeed too terrifying!
With just a few words, Uehara Naraku essentially forcefully placed a huge hat on the heads of Nick Fury, Tony Stark, and others, making everything potentially pinned on them!
"Why tell me all this..."
The President suddenly spoke, softly explaining: "I feel you could silently influence the orders from the White House; why would you share all this..."
"Why?"
Uehara Naraku casually spread his hands, speaking softly: "As you mentioned, since last night we are our own people. Whatever happens, I think we should be honest with each other..."
"..."
The President inexplicably felt a bit of gratitude, perhaps Uehara Naraku as a partner wasn't as terrible as he thought?
Of course.
Speaking of partners...
He was unwilling to admit it, but essentially, he was still a pawn manipulated by Uehara Naraku, albeit one that was fairly honest.
"Now that everything has been told to you."
Uehara Naraku pushed back his chair and stood up, and a Gate of Space slowly opened behind him, swallowing him and Ichimaru Gin: "Someone is coming, I'll leave the rest to you, we're leaving now. Before I do, I left you a gift, hope you like it..."
"What gift?"
The President asked, but the Gate of Space had already disappeared, and Uehara Naraku and Ichimaru Gin were nowhere to be seen.
Just then.
The doors to the President's office suddenly opened.
A little girl walked in shakily, seeming unaccustomed to walking, with a mixture of joy and anxiety on her face.
"Daddy..."
It was the President's young daughter.
The previously disabled daughter with a broken right leg now had a complete right leg; she stood at the office door, cautiously looking at her father and then at her right leg: "Daddy... it... suddenly grew..."
The old man looked at his now physically complete daughter, tears welled up, and his discontent with Uehara Naraku quickly faded.
That bastard always has unpleasant words...
But the things he does, they seem quite good...
The crucial point is...
It's known that only Extremis can regenerate lost limbs; how can he make his daughter, with a regenerated leg, stand proudly?
Dammit...
Seems I'm being played again...
From now on, his daughter must remain hidden, the FBI Director and CIA Director aren't their people, only Uehara Naraku, who knows the truth, can send agents to protect his daughter...
