Marvel: Starting As Hokage

But in this situation, it's just a wave.

After dealing with this wave, there will be no follow-up.

After all, when you slaughter someone, they're not idiots. They won't let you do it a second time.

If Ethan can only play the role of a fleeting wave, then after the first wave, he'll just retreat — which is fine.

Anyway, it's only 100% performance, and there will be chances to achieve that in the future.

But Ethan can play more than just a fleeting wave. He has countless powerful figures from the Naruto world, and even from the DC and Dragon Ball universes, waiting for him to portray them.

With such a vast pool of possibilities, he is fully capable and qualified to stand as Konoha's representative alone!

And simply being a powerhouse of Konoha isn't enough!

There are so many captivating villains in the Naruto world, and Ethan wouldn't hesitate to portray them if given the chance.

And in the Naruto world, what's the most famous villain organization?

Without a second thought, the name 'Akatsuki' popped into Ethan's head!

Throughout the Naruto storyline, the Akatsuki organization plays a significant role, and many Naruto fans often like the villains in Akatsuki more than the protagonist Naruto. Ethan naturally likes Akatsuki, and if he could reproduce this organization in the Marvel universe, he would definitely do so.

These are his ambitions!

So, a fleeting wave isn't enough!!

The long-term flow is the way to go!

And how does the water flow?

What Ethan thought of was strengthening the trust of the people in the Marvel world in the characters he portrays!

Once they trust him, there will definitely be a steady stream of commissioned tasks coming his way. Isn't that a continuous flow?

And as for gaining that trust, it seems that Konoha Village's goodwill is a good approach in this world!

Although Konoha in Naruto isn't entirely above reproach, in Ethan's portrayal, Konoha is a genuinely honorable organization!

However, after giving it serious thought, Ethan realized that merely releasing kindness from Konoha wasn't enough.

In fact, it's far too slow.

Now the Hulk plot is emerging, and there are only five or six years left before the start of the purple sweet potato essence event. To just release kindness during this time would be too slow for Ethan's taste. He wants more than to merely make the people of Marvel Earth believe in Konoha; he wants to become strong enough in this time, so he must accelerate the progress!

After thinking about how to speed things up, Ethan arrived at the solution.

That is a crisis!

To hasten the trust-building process, there must be a crisis!

When the people of the Marvel world are in a crisis, Ethan, as Konoha's representative, can step in and save them. Doesn't that build trust?

Luckily, a crisis already exists in the Marvel world, and handling it isn't too difficult.

Moreover, even if it's challenging, he can have the villainous Akatsuki members cause some chaos and create a crisis.

In fact, cleaning up Hell's Kitchen is a perfect opportunity to stir up trouble!

But for now, he can only portray Minato Namikaze, so the cleanup of Hell's Kitchen must be delayed for a while.

Let's wait a bit, and his second character must be a villain!

Ethan got more excited the more he thought about it.

This wave is a way to profit from both hands — big profits!

As for whether this will harm innocent people?

Ethan thought to himself that as long as he controlled the intensity, there was no need to worry about that.

With that realization, Ethan finally decided!

He gave up on the idea of finding a "big dog" to take over the Hell's Kitchen cleanup and decided to handle it himself. From this moment onward, he would focus on fooling S.H.I.E.L.D.!

Not just S.H.I.E.L.D., but the entire Marvel world!

Looking up at Natasha, Ethan was ready and prepared to speak his mind.

"Agent Romanoff, right?"

"I've just linked up with my village through ninjutsu to inquire about your situation with S.H.I.E.L.D."

"As far as our intelligence system knows, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s current situation doesn't seem very optimistic."

"However, it is still credible. Moreover, you are the first official organization to contact us with goodwill in this world."

"Now, let me tell you the purpose of my visit to New York!"

Ethan's words shocked Natasha, the think tank in S.H.I.E.L.D., and even Nick Fury. They had just seen Ethan lower his head, seemingly deep in thought, and assumed he was contemplating something.

They had never imagined that he was using ninjutsu capable of long-distance communication!

Had Ethan not mentioned it, they never would have thought of it.

As for whether Ethan was lying?

Everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. felt it was impossible.

A strong person has dignity and tolerance.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s think tank had evaluated Minato Namikaze as "the most powerful ninja in history, with strength levels that would easily crush all the current superheroes by at least two tiers."

Someone with such strength wouldn't bother lying!

And he didn't need to lie!

Even in modern society, when someone reaches a certain level of power, they are beyond the reach of all legal boundaries.

As long as they don't try to destroy the world or rule it, government agencies won't pursue truly powerful individuals, superheroes, or ordinary people.

The Hulk was a perfect example.
