Paramveer sat cross-legged on the floor of his apartment, his laptop open in front of him. The glow of the screen illuminated his face as he scrolled through news articles, government reports, and Stark Industries press releases. He had spent the entire morning researching the current timeline, trying to piece together where exactly he was in the grand scheme of the Marvel Universe.
The more he read, the more his excitement grew. This wasn't the world of the Avengers, not yet. This was a world on the brink of change, a world where superheroes were still a myth, and the only official hero was Captain America—a relic of World War II, frozen in ice and forgotten by time. The X-Men were nowhere to be found, and mutants were still a well-kept secret. The Fantastic Four hadn't made their cosmic debut, and the Hulk was just a rumor whispered in military circles.
But what really caught Paramveer's attention was the news about Tony Stark.
Tony Stark, the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist, had gone missing two months ago during a weapons demonstration in Afghanistan. Stark Industries had issued a global reward for information leading to his rescue: $10 million for credible intel and a staggering $100 million for his safe return. The world had been searching for him, but so far, no one had succeeded.
Paramveer leaned back, his mind racing. This was his chance. Not only to test his newfound powers in a real-world scenario but also to secure his financial future. A hundred million dollars was life-changing money, enough to make him financially independent and give him the resources he needed to navigate this strange new world.
But more than that, this was an opportunity to make a difference. Tony Stark's kidnapping was the catalyst for his transformation into Iron Man, the event that would set the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe into motion. If Paramveer could rescue Tony before he built his first suit, he could alter the course of history—or at least, this universe's version of it.
Paramveer's eyes gleamed with determination. He knew where to start: Gulmira, a small village in Afghanistan. According to his memories of the 'Iron Man' movie, Dr. Ho Yinsen, the man who would help Tony build his first suit, was from Gulmira. The Ten Rings, the terrorist group holding Tony captive, had a base near the village. It was the perfect place to begin his search.
But before he could embark on this mission, there were practical matters to address. He couldn't just disappear without explanation. He had a life here—a school, friends, responsibilities. He needed a cover story.

Paramveer picked up his phone and dialed the number of his homeroom teacher, Mr. Thompson. The phone rang twice before a gruff voice answered.
"Thompson speaking."
"Hi, Mr. Thompson. It's Paramveer Singh," Paramveer said, trying to sound as weak and pitiful as possible. "I'm… I'm not feeling well. I think I might have come down with something serious. I need to take a few days off to recover."
There was a pause on the other end of the line. "Paramveer, you've never missed a day of school. Are you sure it's that bad?"
"Yes, sir," Paramveer replied, coughing for effect. "I've been running a high fever, and I can barely get out of bed. I don't want to risk spreading it to anyone else."
Mr. Thompson sighed. "Alright, take the time you need. But make sure you catch up on your assignments. I'll email you the details."
"Thank you, sir. I'll keep you updated," Paramveer said before hanging up.
He let out a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding. One problem solved. Now he just needed to figure out how to get to Afghanistan without raising suspicion.

Paramveer opened a new tab on his laptop and began researching flights to Afghanistan. The nearest major airport to Gulmira was in Kabul, but getting there would require multiple layovers and a significant amount of time. He didn't have that kind of time to waste. He needed a faster way.
That's when it hit him: the 'Space and Time Jutsu'.
This is one of the ability of his Karma Seal.
This works exactly like Doctor Strange creates portal to teleport. But problem is that he have never used this ability. What if something weird happened, and he got thrown in some other dimension.
Plus this ability is a huge consumption of chakra. Veer currently only have 20% chakra of Third Raikage A. And if he estimate, he only have around Jonin class chakra right now.
He needed a backup plan.
So he booked a flight ticket to Kabul by using the last of his savings to cover the cost.

With his travel plans in place, Veer turned his attention to preparation. He needed to be ready for anything. The Ten Rings were a dangerous group, and he couldn't afford to underestimate them.
He spent the rest of the day training, pushing his body to its limits. He practiced his Lightning Release: Chakra Mode, honing his speed and strength. He tested his Hell Stab technique, ensuring he could deliver precise, lethal strikes. And he experimented with Black Lightning, though he was careful to avoid causing too much damage.
It's just he found that when using lightning release jutsu, sound of bird chirping is coming. Although it's fast, but this sound makes it not so silent technique.
You have to know, Ten Rings guys has some seriously powerful weapons. In Naruto world, there is no guns. If he is surrounded, then with constant launch of guns, rocket launchers, bombs... they might really have chance to kill him.
So he have to wipe them out as silently as possible.
By the time the sun set, Veer was exhausted but ready. He packed a small bag with essentials: a change of clothes, a first-aid kit, and a few protein bars. He didn't know how long he'd be gone, but he wanted to be prepared for anything.

As he lay in bed that night, Veer couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. This was it. His first real mission in this new world. He was about to step into the unknown, to test his powers against real enemies, and to potentially change the course of history.
But with that anticipation came a flicker of doubt. Was he ready for this? Could he really take on the Ten Rings and rescue Tony Stark? What if he failed? What if he got himself killed?
Veer shook his head, pushing those thoughts aside. He couldn't afford to doubt himself now. He had the power of the Third Raikage, the Karma Seal, and the knowledge of the Marvel Universe. He was as ready as he'd ever be.
As he drifted off to sleep, one thought echoed in his mind: 'This is just the beginning.'
