In the sky, Naraku Uehara seemed somewhat incredulous about his own power. He slowly clenched his fist, finally letting out a breath of relief as if he had survived a disaster...
"That guy..."
Tony Stark stared in shock at Naraku Uehara floating in the air, rubbing his eyes hard: "Did I see that right?"
"He's alive!"
Clint Barton showed a hint of happiness on his face.
Steve Rogers and Natasha waved at Naraku Uehara, greeting the friend who had inexplicably survived!
Although they didn't know what was going on...
But that Naraku Uehara survived is beyond doubt!
"Is it because he obtained the Tesseract's energy?"
Tony Stark felt a sense of relief suddenly when he saw Naraku Uehara still alive, starting to ponder and speculate the course of events, and sighed lightly: "Now it feels like that guy has obtained the Tesseract's energy, and has completely transformed into a superhuman..."
This is not a bad thing for the Avengers Squad.
A teammate who might have sacrificed came back to life and gained more powerful strength, giving them more confidence when facing future crises on Earth...
Just as Naraku Uehara flew down to the ground, six Void Thrones in the sky descended slowly, appearing next to this group of Avengers.
Along with their movement, the entire Akatsuki army also showed some changes, hundreds of Arrancar Hollows appeared behind them, looking somewhat imposing...
Everyone immediately became vigilant!
Because the sudden movement by the Akatsuki army after the Tesseract explosion made it seem like they intended to seize the Tesseract!
However...
They were mistaken.
"Sir."
Uchiha Madara was fiddling with a ring in his hand, watching while he spoke coldly: "According to the agreement we made with a member from the previous Earth, Akatsuki will take in an intern from Earth; you are the most qualified candidate. Are you willing to join Akatsuki?"
"..."
The members of the Avengers Squad fell silent.
Tony Stark suddenly thought of that letter from his father, one hand on Naraku Uehara's shoulder, speaking lowly: "Uehara, quickly tell them you agree..."
Akatsuki...is a friend of Earth!
The member from the previous Earth is his father, Howard Stark!
Tony Stark does not like his father, Howard Stark, but that doesn't mean he doesn't trust him. In fact, Tony Stark trusts his father's vision more than anyone else!
According to the letter left by Howard Stark...
Naraku Uehara joining Akatsuki would definitely not harm Earth!
The only issue might be why Akatsuki wants Naraku Uehara to be an intern and not a formal member... Is there indeed a probation period for this cosmic organization?
"Sorry..."
Naraku Uehara hesitated, shaking his head and was about to refuse the proposal in front of him, but a hurried voice came through his earpiece!
"Uehara, agree with them!"
Nick Fury, sounding almost like he was urging him to his fate, was pushing for Naraku Uehara to accept the proposal from Akatsuki.
Regarding the internship spot from Tony Stark being taken... Nick Fury was genuinely overjoyed!
If Tony Stark were to join Akatsuki, once he knew the real situation of Akatsuki, this super genius and rich kid might act increasingly flamboyantly...
Tony Stark might very well focus more on Akatsuki's work, possibly even relinquishing his Avengers membership...
If Tony Stark really joined Akatsuki, what the World Security Council and S.H.I.E.L.D. hoped for within Akatsuki would become complications, having to appease this rather hard-to-satisfy super-rich guy, which is not a simple task...
The result...
The internship spot at Akatsuki was picked for Naraku Uehara!
This was practically a stroke of joy for Nick Fury; an agent who always seemed without ambition and might still be willing to follow orders...
Besides...
Nick Fury was more shocked that Naraku Uehara absorbed the Tesseract energy because he had heard some things from his old friend Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers...
Naraku Uehara would become a new Captain Marvel!
Nick Fury had seen firsthand how Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, single-handedly defeated an invading alien fleet, with that amazingly formidable strength...
Damn...
From this war, S.H.I.E.L.D. was indeed the biggest winner!
"Looks like Earth's luck is pretty good."
A mysterious masked man's figure appeared beside Nick Fury, speaking softly: "We have heard of Ms. Carol Danvers, and hadn't expected another human capable of bearing the Tesseract energy to appear..."
"...Danvers?"
Nick Fury slowly shook his head.
Right now, Nick Fury was quite at ease; he had gained another truly powerful superhero and could use Naraku Uehara to nurture a good relationship with the extraterrestrial Akatsuki, potentially learning more about cosmic intelligence from them...
For instance, concerning Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers.
Nick Fury hadn't seen this Captain Marvel for a long time, not since they parted in their younger days and never met again...
But Carol Danvers did leave Nick Fury a small gadget, so when Earth encounters danger, he can directly summon her back to Earth...
The current outcome is even better.
Earth now has a new Captain Marvel.
A superhero completely born within S.H.I.E.L.D., and whether he will continue to be willing to follow commands from S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future depends on Nick Fury's management skills...
Nick Fury believes in his managerial skill.
Because Naraku Uehara's temperament is extremely manageable.
Nick Fury had observed Naraku Uehara for a while before gradually entrusting him with heavy responsibilities, to put it bluntly, Nick Fury spotted that this guy Naraku Uehara actually doesn't have much opinion, and is easily persuaded...
New York.
Naraku Uehara heard Nick Fury's voice through the earpiece, glanced again at Tony Stark telling him to accept, with a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
However.
Naraku Uehara indeed seemed to have little opinion.
With the order from Nick Fury and persuasion from Tony Stark, Naraku Uehara looked at Uchiha Madara and others, slowly nodding to accept the invitation from Uchiha Madara.
"I agree."
Naraku Uehara walked before Uchiha Madara and stretched out his hand slowly toward Uchiha Madara, showing an unnatural smile.
"Sir... please guide me well."
"..."
Uchiha Madara paused silently for a second before reaching out to grasp Naraku Uehara's hand, lightly speaking: "Then... welcome to join us."
Such an absurd world.
No.
Rather, another world will be toyed by Naraku Uehara.
"Does joining Akatsuki require travel?"
Naraku Uehara looked at Uchiha Madara and others, calmly explaining: "Sorry, I have never left Earth..."
"There is no such necessity."
Uchiha Madara took a deep breath, his face subtly stiffening: "If one day it is needed, Akatsuki will send someone to pick you up and leave..."
Is it necessary to act this out?
Isn't it up to your own desire?
Do we need preventive measures for the future? Now everyone around you already trusts you completely, right?
"Alright, the Chitauri fleet here has been annihilated, and the initial safety of the Tesseract has been confirmed. We don't need to stay here anymore..."
Uchiha Madara handed the ring in his hand to Naraku Uehara, waved to his back, softly stating: "If Akatsuki gives orders or if you have any requests to Akatsuki in the future, use the ring to contact us..."
After saying that.
A black hole silently appeared in the sky.
The Akatsuki army slowly floated up, flying into the black hole passage in the sky.
"Akatsuki didn't create any conflict on Earth..."
"Seems like they are quite a friendly and proud bunch..."
