Uehara Naraku has been very busy recently.
Since S.H.I.E.L.D. is in a state of chaos, no one knows which agent might suddenly become a Hydra agent, so the agents trusted by Nick Fury are all busy like dogs.
Even Special Agent Coulson, who is considered an ordinary person, has been dispatched all over the world. It is said that Special Agent Coulson just finished dealing with the hammer incident in New Mexico and has been sent to the Arctic Ocean to dig up Captain America.
Uehara Naraku, Clint Barton, and Natasha Romanoff, as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s three ace forces, have also been dispatched by Nick Fury to eliminate Hydra terrorists everywhere.
Compared to Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff, Uehara Naraku's days are going pretty well. He can still keep in touch with Alexander Pierce and naturally find a way to be dispatched to the places he wants to go.
For example, if Uehara Naraku wants to go to India, Alexander Pierce only needs to dispatch a group of people within Hydra to India to create chaos and die, then Nick Fury will send Uehara Naraku to India.
Moreover, with Hittwell and Crossbones being forced to defect, Uehara Naraku has become the highest-ranking member of Hydra within S.H.I.E.L.D.…
The most important thing is…
Uehara Naraku has control over Nick Fury's Avenger plan.
Not only does Nick Fury want to meddle in the future Avengers Squad, but Alexander Pierce and Hydra also want a part in the Avengers Squad.
After the Hulk vs. Abomination event erupted in New York, Uehara Naraku suggested that Pierce investigate Bruce Banner's whereabouts, and they discovered Bruce Banner's whereabouts in advance.
Then…
Uehara Naraku sold Bruce Banner's yoga training traces in India to Nick Fury, thereby gaining the power to monitor Bruce Banner.
Because of this.
Uehara Naraku finally got to enjoy a few days of leisure.
Now, aside from monitoring Bruce Banner's activities, Uehara Naraku is just killing a few Hydra cannon fodder.
Today seems to be a bit unusual.
After completing his yoga practice, Bruce Banner suddenly left the bustling area of Kathmandu and walked to an abandoned factory where he finally stopped.
"Come out!"
Bruce Banner's voice was somewhat gentle, but his attitude was rather unequivocal: "From the first day you started following me, I knew you were tracking me…"
Having been pursued by the military before, Bruce Banner has never relaxed his vigilance in this regard; he had already noticed someone secretly monitoring him these past few days.
The troublesome part is…
Bruce Banner could not shake off the person tracking him.
Moreover, places like India are somewhat complicated. Even if Bruce Banner wanted to escape and change locations, he hadn't earned enough money for airfare and living expenses.
Perhaps the only fortunate thing is that, unlike those South American countries, India can't be considered the United States' backyard, and it's a bit troublesome for the military to appear here.
Bruce Banner wants to talk to his pursuer.
If things don't work out, then he'll deal with the tail.
"It's not that you've discovered me early on."
A man emerged from behind a factory pillar, chewing on a juice straw and leisurely said: "I wanted you to find me…"
"..."
Bruce Banner's face instantly became tense.
However, concerned about the appearance of Hulk, Bruce Banner could only suppress his emotions and calm himself.
As long as his heart rate speeds up…
The Hulk hidden within him will emerge!
"Don't worry."
Uehara Naraku slowly shook his head, crushed the juice cup in his hand, and gently advised: "There's no one here, and no one will find out. No matter what you want to do, you can do it, even call out the Hulk within you…"
"Who are you?"
"Anyone can be anyone."
Uehara Naraku spread his palms open and introduced himself casually: "My identity is actually irrelevant to you… you just need to know one thing…"
"What…"
"I can help you."
Uehara Naraku slowly walked towards Bruce Banner, a strange smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "I can help you completely control the Hulk within you…"
"Hmm?"
A look of confusion spread across Bruce Banner's face, and he quickly extended his hand to stop Uehara Naraku from approaching, explaining: "Sorry, you might not understand the Hulk…"
"I understand it better than you do."
Uehara Naraku halted his steps, smiling as he continued: "My target has always been the one inside you, not you. Because controlling oneself is useless; once you control it, you can naturally control you."
"What… do you mean?"
"A very straightforward meaning."
Uehara Naraku raised a finger pointing at Bruce Banner, softly continuing: "Dr. Bruce Banner, have you ever thought about who is really controlling your body…let the Hulk out, because I'm here to help you…"
A beam of gold light suddenly shot out from Uehara Naraku's fingertip!
The golden light instantly pierced through Bruce Banner's shoulder!
The intense pain immediately made the gentle man unable to suppress his emotions; his expression swiftly turned green, and his muscles rapidly swelled!
"Hulk!"
Following a thick shout!
The massive Hulk suddenly appeared, his green bare feet shattering the floor as he swung his enormous fist towards Uehara Naraku's head!
He wanted to smash Uehara Naraku's head with a single punch!
Boom!
Uehara Naraku's fist slammed into Hulk's fist!
After the punch connected, a flash of pain flickered in Hulk's furious eyes, his body sent flying by Uehara Naraku's punch!
This monster, reputed to be of infinite strength, was defeated for the first time in such an encounter, even surpassed in strength by an ordinary human!
"..."
However, only baffled for less than half a second, anger once again overtook Hulk's mind, and he leaped up again, charging towards Uehara Naraku!
Boom!
Uehara Naraku slapped his palm on Hulk's chest, stopping his charge, as the hand suddenly turned into a fist, punching Hulk in the abdomen!
The next moment...
The massive Hulk could hardly endure the pain of that punch, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and with some embarrassment, he kneeled on one knee!
"You can't beat me."
Uehara Naraku stood before Hulk, gently placing his hand on Hulk's head: "You'd better behave, or else I might kill you..."
"Hulk..."
The Hulk slowly raised his head, glaring ferociously at Uehara Naraku, suddenly stretching out his arm to grab Uehara Naraku's waist!
The next moment...
This Hulk was about to crash his enemy into a wall!
Uehara Naraku slowly shook his head, raised his arm, and slammed it down on Hulk's shoulder, the huge impact instantly sweeping through Hulk's body!
The massive Hulk was directly smashed to the ground!
Hulk wearily rolled his eyes, tumbling down before Uehara Naraku...
"Only I can accept your existence in this world."
Uehara Naraku looked down at the fallen Hulk, calmly continued: "Neither Bruce Banner nor any other people, they just want to use your strength, only someone stronger than you can accept your existence..."
Yes.
No one in the whole world likes the Hulk.
Or rather, Earthlings only need Hulk's strength, until the day when Hulk left Earth, gaining recognition from others, transforming for nearly two years...
Once Hulk turned back into Bruce Banner and returned to Earth, during Thanos' mid-term invasion of Earth, he never willingly appeared again.
"You...?"
Hulk slowly raised his head, his face a mess of wrinkles.
Because it was his first time speaking, his voice was vaguely hoarse and stuttering, struggling even to say a single word...
Only after being beaten could he regain clarity.
"Only I can accept you."
Uehara Naraku slowly crouched down, ruffling Bruce Banner's head, calmly continued: "You will soon find out that no one in this world will choose to accept Hulk except me, they just want to use your strength..."
"You... you... you... the same..."
"I'm different from them."
"What... difference..."
"I don't mind if you continue to exist."
Uehara Naraku opened his palm, his voice getting lower and lower: "I don't need your strength to fight, as long as you are willing to behave, it doesn't matter what you want to do in the future, this is a deal..."
"What do you want..."
"Very simple."
Uehara Naraku lifted Hulk's hair, forcibly dragging his body over, looking into his eyes, he smiled and spoke.
"Help me monitor Dr. Bruce Banner, if he ever wants to leak my secrets in the future, you must immediately appear to stop his leak..."
"You're still..."
Hulk's eyes instantly turned bright red.
"Seems like we can't communicate at all..."
Uehara Naraku coldly interrupted him: "Clearly it's a gift for you, if you don't want it, then behave now... Black Zetsu!"
A mass of pitch-black liquid swiftly emerged from the ground, merging into Hulk's body, instantly taking control of his body!
The pitch-black liquid gradually covered Hulk's entire surface, Black Zetsu's sinister laughter rang out: "Hehehe... quite a strong body, but inside are two rather weak souls..."
"Who can take charge?"
"Hehehe..."
Black Zetsu's eerie laughter was full of confidence: "Certainly me... whether it's Hulk or that weak human soul, I can let either take over the body..."
"Then educate them well!"
Uehara Naraku spoke slowly: "I hope they can be more rational in the future, willing to accept our orders."
"Tomorrow I will report to Nick Fury, Dr. Bruce Banner has completely controlled Hulk's will, applying to bring Dr. Banner back to New York or Washington, places like India are really enough."
