Uchiha Gunbai

After reading the trending news that Iron Man and Spider-Man were a couple, Roy called Tony.

The call was answered quickly.

"Have you seen the news?"

Roy asked with a smile.

"What news?"

Tony asked in confusion.

"The news saying Iron Man and Spider-Man are a couple."

Roy Responded quickly.

A couple?

Tony immediately fell silent on the other end of the line.

Then, Roy heard Tony giving JARVIS an order.

"JARVIS, search for the latest reports on Iron Man and Spider-Man immediately."

After more than ten seconds of silence, Tony spoke again.

"This is all slander! Completely baseless slander!"

"I don't like men. I didn't before, and I never will!"

"JARVIS, notify the legal department. Send lawyer's letters to every channel and newspaper that published these stories, demanding they retract the reports immediately and issue public apologies."

"Search for my old gossip stories, like those about how I slept with every Maxim Magazine cover girl."

"I want that gossip to become the top headline on every social platform and search engine."

"Also, contact the owners of those social platforms and search engines. Tell them to reduce the popularity of anything related to 'Iron Man and Spider-Man are a couple.'"

"If they refuse, hack their servers."

"And finally, I'm throwing a party tonight. A party with lots of bikini beauties!"

After nearly roaring out his orders to JARVIS, Tony said to Roy, "You called me specifically just to laugh at me?"

"No, I just wanted to let you know that the entire internet is laughing at you."

Roy Responded swiftly.

"But you're laughing too."

Tony continued.

"Laughing at drama is human nature. Of course I'm no exception."

"Alright, take your time dealing with your latest gossip scandal. Have a pleasant day."

With that, Roy hung up before Tony could reply.

One week later.

Hell's Kitchen, Konoha Agency.

Roy sat behind his desk, studying the dejected Dr. Betty seated across from him. He slowly asked, "Who sent you here?"

Betty answered without hesitation, "My father."

"He said that if I wanted to save Banner, I could come to you."

Betty took a card from her handbag and handed it to Roy.

The card contained only an address and nothing else.

"Why would he send you to me? Doesn't he want to keep researching Banner?"

Roy asked.

"He was suspended."

Betty said with a frown.

Suspended?

Roy looked at Betty in surprise. A possibility flashed through his mind, and he continued, "Was he suspended because of Blonsky?"

Although Blonsky had not caused too many casualties, General Ross's rivals would not let such an opportunity pass.

If the operation at Culver University had been authorized by the military, there was nothing to criticize there.

Then the blame for Blonsky losing control could only fall on General Ross himself.

After all, Blonsky was his subordinate.

Betty nodded.

"Tell me about Banner's current situation."

Roy said slowly.

"After Banner was captured, my father didn't conduct any cruel experiments on him. He only had the researchers collect some blood and biological samples."

"To prevent Banner from transforming again, he had the researchers inject him with anesthetics, keeping Banner unconscious all day and maintaining his vital signs through nutrient injections."

"After what happened in Brooklyn, the other higher-ups demanded that my father take full responsibility."

"Because he hadn't prepared suitable containment measures in advance and had instead paid you to handle it, they suspended him and took Banner and Blonsky away, along with all the files."

"As for where Banner was transferred, even my father doesn't know."

Betty answered quickly without any hesitation.

Although General Ross did not know where Banner had been transferred, this was no problem at all for Roy.

Back at Culver University, he had already left a Flying Thunder God Formula on Hulk.

Although Hulk had now reverted to Banner, the Flying Thunder God Formula attached to his body would not disappear.

"I can accept your commission and rescue Banner."

"But you should know that I won't help for free."

"Tell me, how much compensation did General Ross prepare?"

Roy looked at Betty calmly and continued.

Since General Ross had sent Betty here, he certainly would not have forgotten to prepare payment for hiring him.

"My father is suspended now, so he can't mobilize a large amount of money like he did the last two times."

"At most, we can give you five hundred thousand dollars."

Betty said somewhat awkwardly.

A hundredfold reduction just like that?

After grumbling inwardly, Roy said to Betty, "Five hundred thousand it is. You can call General Ross and have him transfer it now, to the same account as before."

The moment he finished speaking, he vanished from Betty's sight and appeared on the rooftop outside the office.

Although the payment this time was not much, he still would not refuse Betty.

Because Betty's commission had passed the system's evaluation.

Besides, he was quite interested in the reward for this commission.

Flame Gunbai!

Or rather, the Uchiha Gunbai!

The Uchiha Gunbai had originally been a weapon passed down through the Uchiha Clan for generations, before later becoming Madara Uchiha's exclusive weapon.

The gunbai was made from the Divine Tree, hard yet flexible. Its fan bore two pairs of six-tomoe patterns, while a chain was attached to its handle. It could reflect enemy attacks and use Wind Release to enhance Fire Release ninjutsu. It was a symbol of the Uchiha Clan crest.

After arriving on the rooftop, Roy immediately began sensing the Flying Thunder God Formula on Banner.

Without much effort, he locked onto Banner's location.

After locating Banner, he did not go over immediately. Instead, he used the Transformation Technique, changing himself into an utterly ordinary middle-aged man.

Then, he used Flying Thunder God and teleported to Banner's side.

It was a small room with surveillance cameras installed in all four corners.

There was not much furniture in the room, only a hospital bed.

Other than Banner, there was no one else in the room.

Though he had been transferred elsewhere, Banner was just as Betty had described: unconscious, his limbs cuffed, lying on the bed in deep sleep.

The moment Roy teleported in, the soldiers in the surveillance room discovered him.

The next second, shrill, urgent alarms rang throughout the entire base, while red warning lights flashed wildly.

Roy ignored the alarms and walked straight to Banner. He took out the Kusanagi Sword and cut through the cuffs binding Banner's limbs.

Then he grabbed Banner by the shoulder and used Flying Thunder God once again, returning to the rooftop from before.
