It has been almost over a year since Hydra had been trying to infiltrate. But since they weren't powerful enough Hydra took a roundabout way in trying to control the Naruto's world. Some agents were able to sneak away from the ninjas when they trained with them and managed to establish communication with the feudal lords of every country.
Every partial dimension was under the control of their respective kages and the country's feudal lords. After Hydra was able to contact the country's lords, it was easier for Hydra to enter their dimension. Hydra tried their best in explaining their motives to the lords. At first the lords hesitated quite a bit as the plans laid down by Hydra were dangerous.
What they wanted was to disrupt the hidden villages' lifeline by cutting their supply lines and denying proper compensation to the hidden villages. Hydra knew that convincing the lords and even execution of the plan would take a lot of time. But at the end they were successful in convincing.
Hydra said that with only proper control of the hidden villages, the feudal lords would be able to have absolute power over the hidden villages. Daniel Whitehall, one of the old Hydra heads, spearheaded this plan. He was a mad scientist who belonged to the era of Redskull and due to experiments on Inhumans, particularly Jiaying, he was able to maintain his age.
Pierce didn't have much hope of Daniel's plan of controlling Naruto's world because he understood the most basic concept and that is 'only power reigned supreme'. Pierce let Daniel do whatever he wanted because Daniel was an old guy and if anything bad happened he could always pin it on him and wash his hands away.
This slow process of denying proper supply to the hidden villages by the feudal lords worked well. Every hidden village depended on their respective countries for it's survival and daily life. If a major disruption occurred it would be a huge loss for the villages. The kages didn't understand sudden changes in the behavior of the lords but accepted the demands of the lords gritting their teeth. The lords were happy to see this change in the behavior of Kages.
After this, Whitehall finally managed to have a meeting with all the feudal lords together as he needed a face to face approach in trying to convince the lords. Whitehall flew all of the lords to his secret base.
"My agents have already laid out the plans for you all to see. I called you all to show a glimpse of my future plan."
"Really! Show us what you plan to do. I am curious about how do you want to control the hidden villages. A mountain that none of us could cross." said the lord of fire country.
"During the training with the ninjas we were able to sneak away a poison that was very harmful for the ninjas. By using science from our world we were able to recreate the poison and now we can mass produce it. Both in gaseous and liquid form."
"After we test the poison on ninjas we will be able to kill the ninjas and do experiments on them. Maybe we all can have so called chakra inside our body and be powerful like them. Even if the experiment fails we will still be able to kill the ninjas."
"Are you sure that the poison will work? We will be needing a live test for that." lord of the wind country said.
"Yes. All we need to do is to experiment on it on a live ninja. Any country can register a mercenary operation and we can sneak a poison in a gaseous form on their bodies. If it fails the agents responsible can commit suicide and he will die but never get caught."
All the lords contemplated on it and finally decided that they could try this plan but they had to make sure that this poison would never be used on them.
"We can accept your plan but on the condition that you give us an antidote and a proper knowledge of all the uses of other poisons in your society. This is non-negotiable." said one of the lords. Whitehall accepted this without batting an eyelid. He didn't really care about these lords as he could always catch these lords and brainwash them and use them for Hydra itself.
Whitehall was ecstatic as he finally got the permission to work on his plans. At least he will get a body and would be able to experiment on this so called chakra. He was looking forward to it.
Finally on a mercenary operation which was registered by the lord of wind, which was led by a single chunin ninja, Hydra was able to ambush and release the gaseous form of the poison in the surroundings of the ninja. What happened next scared even the Hydra agents.
The body of the ninja wilted away in a rapid pace and at the end even the bones of the ninja weren't left. The Hydra agents were really scared as they didn't expect the poison to be so potent. They sent the recording of Whitehall.

When Whitehall received the recording he was pretty sad. The gory nature of the video didn't really affect him. But what did affect him was the loss of the body to be experimented upon. Even though he was sad he knew he had been successful in devising a plan to counter ninjas. Now all he needed was to administer the poison onto the kages and kill them. As long as he could kill them he would have won half the war.
All the high levels of Hydra were notified of the video and they were surprised to see it. They didn't really expect Whitehall, a mad scientist, would figure out such a poison and a cruel plan for the ninjas. Pierce was really happy about it. The world council had approved of the Insight Project after the New York war and the work was being done faster then it should have been in the original story.
Due to the immense danger shown by a small platoon of aliens and having Oa, Naruto's world nearby, the governments were really scared and they really wanted a weapon that could protect them, at least that could filter out hidden dangers. The governments and the world council approved of the Insight Project to be launched as fast as possible.
Even though the ninjas didn't really show themselves in New York, SHIELD managed to get some videos of the ninjas saving people and the speed the ninjas had shown in the war was a huge wake up call for many of them. Many governments had doubts about the legitimacy of the Naruto world but after watching them in action, it made them fear as the ninjas were basically assassins and could kill any politician whenever necessary.
Oa had not shown any aggression but one day the Guardians might feel that Earth wasn't good enough and might send the lanterns. The governments didn't really have any countermeasures against the lanterns but the Insight Project could be called the Earth's first step against any kind of alien invasion.
Loki had managed to infiltrate Earth because there was no proper defence against such beings but now they would have one and stop the problem in its root in the future.
Whitehall asked for full support from all the high levels of Hydra in executing the plan. Everybody gave approval apart from Wolfgang von Strucker as he was busy with the new toy that he had received and he wanted to make enhanced people and experiment more with it. He was more interested in the sceptre than trying to control the Naruto world.
Whitehall again called for a meeting with the lords as he wanted to make a clean plan for taking all the kages out of the picture and appoint new ones under the control of Hydra. Whitehall had even planned to kill the lords if they didn't accept his plans.
Due to the antidote provided by Hydra, the personal security ninjas of lords were on the safe side but Whitehall felt that Hydra could always use missiles to kill them. While the lords felt that with their personal security, they could always assassinate anyone they wished as the actual power of normal humans were negligible in front of ninjas. Both of them thought they had a jump on each other.
Finally a day was decided for the meeting, the videos had already been sent to the lords. They were very happy to see such high efficiency of the poison.
"So the poison works, how do you plan to administer it on the kages?" said the lord of earth.
"Call for the 5 kages meeting in the name of easing the recent confrontation between you all and them. Take the antidote with you when you enter the meeting and we will kill them." said Whitehall.
"Good but before the plan starts you need to finish off John. He knows too much from all the universe and probably has an idea about you all. Finish him off." said the lord of fire.
"And after executing the kages, we need to have a full fledged meeting with all the heads of your organisation and discuss the subsequent plans about handling the ninjas later." said the lord of lightning.
The lords wanted to kill all the high levels at the next meeting to tie the loose ends.
"Sure!" Whitehall said with a smile as he had plans to use another toxic poison that is derived from the previous poison which was extremely lethal. Even though they wouldn't kill the ninjas, it was enough to incapacitate them.
After the meeting. Whitehall called Pierce to help him kill John. Pierce hesitated for a bit as they don't have much information on John. He might have people protecting him in secret and it might backfire. At the end Pierce decided on taking a risk, even if the assassination fails they would at least expose the secrets of John.
Pierce decided to take this gamble. This would be their first step in taking control of Earth and the Insight Project would be the last nail in the coffin.
