HIATUS

The search for the Siberian base was uneventful, to say the least. Due to it being January the weather was extremely cold. On the first night of my search, the howls of wolves could be heard as I slept.

It is already the 3rd day of my search and I seem to find what I had been looking for.

Not far from my location I could see a Military Base, with soldiers in the outskirts acting as sentries.  The military base seems to have only one entrance. To make it extremely hidden it seems hydra has built it be an underground facility. Multiple military vehicles could be seen on the outside.

"Finally, I found it", I whispered to myself. I channel chakra on the coin and it began to vibrate strongly.  After a lot of internal deliberation, I decided to enter the base when midnight comes, it will be easier to get in then.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I managed to enter the facility unnoticed due to "Hiding with Camouflage Technique". This technique allows me to control the reflection of light around my body using chakra. This allowed me to make my form, shadow and even breathing invisible.

I began mapping the entire facility. The movie didn't do justice to this base, this base is huge. Multiple underground floors with only one elevator for transport, this made the base extremely easy to defend if someone attacks.

After mapping out the upper floors, I went to check what was on the lower floors. On one of the lower floors, I saw them give the super-soldier serum that Howard Stark made to the 5 lucky individuals.

'Looks like I'm just in time to see this event' I thought to myself.

Yes, Howard Stark was able to recreate the super-soldier serum, but it was flawed. Anyone who had that super soldier serum injected into their body would have some mental problems occurring later on. These 5 individuals will soon have enhanced aggression, which will lead them to not recognized friends from foe.

On the side of the room, I saw the man who I came for,  Colonel Vasily Karpov.

Colonel Vasily Karpov is currently a sleeper agent of Hydra in the Russian Armed Forces. He is the man-in-charge of making Hydra's best assassination team, The Winter Soldier Program.

After injecting the 5 individual people with the serum, each of them began screaming, grunting, and wailing in pain. Vasily had them isolated in their rooms.

'I'll get back to you later' I thought to myself.

It was already morning when I finish mapping out the entire facility. It took so long due to me being incredibly diligent and not wanting to missed anything. For example, I was able to find out the source of the power of the facility. It seems this facility is drawing power from the nearest nuclear power plant directly.

'Maybe I should have made clones to do this. Oh well, what done is done', I thought to myself.

As I was going up the floors I could see multiple soldiers carrying handheld weapons and going to a specific destination, I followed to see what was going on. Inside a training floor, I could see the 5 newly transformed individuals fighting multiple soldiers.

With enhanced strength, durability, speed, agility, stamina, and reflexes, the ordinary soldiers clearly were being beaten. More were being called to try and defeat the newly enhance with numbers. Throughout this event, Colonel Vasily is staying close to Bucky. After an hour, the riot of the newly enhanced was stopped due to Vasily ordering them to use high doses of sleeping drug, administered in the air. Vasily then ordered his men to secure the newly enhanced.

After the 5 new super-soldiers were secured, Vasily also placed Bucky in suspended animation by freezing him.

Afterward, Vasily immediately went to his office, which I followed. I place a silencing barrier in his office. Once inside I undid my camouflage technique and said to Vasily "Hey man, those new super soldiers are such jerks huh".

When Vasily heard me, he immediately turned around and he tried to pull out his gun. I immediately place him in a genjutsu binding and followed it up with a sleeping jutsu. 

"Aren't you trigger happy", I said to the now sleeping Colonel Vasily.

I did a few hand signs and said "Summoning Jutsu: Reanimation". A coffin slowly emerged out of the floor, inside was Howard Stark. Howard's eyes slowly came to life and said "That is an interesting experience".

"Come on Howard, lift your shirt", I said to him.

"Most people buy me dinner first", he said sarcastically.

"Shut up, you know what I mean", I said to him annoyed. On the chest of Howard Stark was a storage seal, the clone that was accompanying Howard was the one responsible for writing that seal. I check the seal and it seems writing a storage seal on a reanimated corpse did not cause the integrity of the storage seal to break.

"So this is a Hydra's base? Whose that guy?" Howard said as he points at the sleeping Vasily.

"That man is in charge of this base, Colonel Vasily Karpov. Currently, after thorough surveillance of this place, I can say the number of occupants of this facility is around 1000 people, all loyal to Hydra. Are all the chemicals enough? Or do we need to get more?", I said to him.

"No, it's more than enough", he replied to me.

"Nice" I replied.

I went towards the sleeping Vasily and said, "Toad Subjugation: Art of the Manipulated Shadows".  Slowly my body went inside Vasily's shadows, after a brief moment Vasily opened his eyes.

"What is that technique?" Howard asked as he stares at Vasily's shadow.

"The Subjugation Art allows me to possess the captured body of an individual by entering his or her shadow. Cool ability right", I smugly said to Howard.

Howard did not reply and just remained silent, in deep thought.

"Any way you stay here", I said to him as I leave the office.

I saw one of the stationed soldiers and said to him, "Call every personnel in the building and have them line up at the training floor. Even those outside acting as sentries", I said to him.

I went to the training floor first and waited for the room to fill up. After 5 minutes of waiting the entire people assign in this facility line themselves in front of me.

"Hail Hydra", I said to them.

There was a moment of brief silence, and then they immediately stood in attention, all 1000 personnel said in unison with determination, "HAIL HYDRA!".
