As the sleek, powerful engines of the Iron Man suit roared to life, Harry felt the rush of adrenaline as they took off towards their destination in Siberia, Russia.

Few hours later....

The icy landscape below them passed in a blur, and Harry couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and trepidation at what lay ahead.

"Are we getting close, Tony?" Harry asked, his voice slightly muffled by the suit's communication device.

"Yeah, we should be arriving at the HYDRA base in Siberia in just a few minutes," Tony replied, his voice calm and focused. "Remember, we need to be cautious and precise in our approach. We can't afford to make any mistakes."

Harry nodded, his mind racing with the plans they had made earlier. He was glad that HYDRA hadn't changed their base in Siberia, as it meant their reconnaissance efforts had paid off.

"I can't believe we're actually doing this," Harry muttered to himself, a mix of nerves and excitement coursing through him.

As they neared the HYDRA base, they discussed their already planned strategy over the communicator. They had already decided that infiltrating HYDRA first was crucial – a direct confrontation could lead to HYDRA deleting all the valuable data and evidence they sought to uncover.

"You ready to do this, Harry?" Tony's voice was steady, but there was an unmistakable undercurrent of urgency.

"You bet," Harry had no idea why he felt so much thrill from the dangerous situation. After transmigrating to this world, he had found this new side to him which he never had in his previous life.

Harry nodded to himself, taking a deep breath to steady his nerves. He activated the mechanism that caused the Iron Man suit to disassemble, transforming into a sleek and inconspicuous suitcase.

Currently there were about a quarter a mile away from the HYDRA base, completely away from any form of surveillance according to Tony.

Taking a moment to focus his chakra, he activated his D Rank Earth Release: Tunneling Technique. The ground beneath him began to shift and warp as he manipulated the earth, creating a tunnel leading in the direction of the heart of the base. The tunnel was big enough to fit both Tony and Harry.

As Harry tunneled through the earth, he made sure to move with the utmost caution, careful not to displace too much soil or make any noise that could alert the HYDRA operatives. His heart pounded in his chest as he neared the interior of the base, knowing that one wrong move could mean a dangerous situation or worse.

Tony watched in amazement as Harry effortlessly manipulated the earth, creating a tunnel with such precision and speed that it left him speechless. 'I knew the kid had some weird abilities, but this is something else entirely,' he thought to himself. As they moved through the tunnel, Tony couldn't help but wonder how a guy like Harry had managed to master such abilities.

As they reached the base under the ground, Harry closed his eyes and focused, tapping into his sensory technique that allowed him to sense the presence of living beings around him. As he delved deeper into his abilities, he felt a tingling sensation spread throughout his body, and his senses expanded, reaching out and enveloping the entire base. He could feel the faint vibrations of footsteps, the subtle heat signatures of the operatives, and the distinct patterns of their heartbeats.

As he scanned the base, he realized that there were more operatives present than he had anticipated. The base was heavily guarded, with agents stationed at every entrance and in various rooms throughout the complex. Harry's heart raced as he processed this information, knowing that they would have to tread carefully to avoid detection.

With a deep breath, Harry focused on the task at hand and continued tunneling forward, using his earth manipulation abilities to navigate through the soil with ease. The tunnel extended further and further, winding its way through the earth as Harry remained vigilant, a single misstep could mean disaster.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Harry sensed a shift in the environment around them. The vibrations and heat signatures above them began to thin out, and he knew they were nearing the area directly beneath the empty rooms in the base. With a determined expression, Harry pushed forward, his senses guiding him as he manipulated the earth with precision, creating a tunnel that led directly beneath the vacant rooms.

"Tony," Harry said through the earpiece, "we're directly beneath the empty rooms now. I can sense that there's no one in there."

Without wasting any time, Tony tapped on the forearm of his suit, and a holographic projection appeared in the air. The projection showed a layout of the base, including the location of the CCTVs and alarms.

"I've got this," Tony said, his fingers dancing over the holographic controls.

"They should be down for at least thirty minutes," Tony said, confirming that he had successfully disabled the CCTVs and alarms. "That should give us enough time to accomplish our mission."

Harry nodded, his eyes flicking back and forth between the holographic projection and the floor above them. "Alright, I'm going to start tunneling up," he said, his hands already moving in a familiar pattern as he called upon his earth release technique. The ground began to shift and tremble as Harry created a narrow tunnel that would lead them up into the base.

Upon entering the room, Harry's eyes widened at the sight of the arsenal of firearms and explosives neatly organized on the shelves. He carefully inspected the bombs that were neatly stacked in a corner and knew that they would definitely come in handy for their operation.

As Harry began to collect the bombs and store them in his storage scrolls, Tony kept a watchful eye on the corridor, ready to alert Harry of any approaching danger.

"They will definitely come in handy," Harry said to Tony as he finished storing the bombs. "We might need some extra firepower to take down our target."
