He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 149 He's such a nice person (Second update)

"What 'Perverted Immortal'? I've told you so many times, you should be called the Toad Immortal!"

Jiraiya flicked Naruto on the head, causing Naruto to clutch his forehead and howl in pain. The two immediately started arguing until the ramen arrived.

"Lord Jiraiya."

After the two finished arguing, Tenzo respectfully greeted Jiraiya.

As a member of the Anbu, Tenzo must have known about Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin.

Seeing this, Jiraiya simply nodded, then looked at Li Chuan and spoke in a slightly more formal tone:

"Jiraiya greets His Highness the Prince."

Although he was one of the Legendary Sannin, he didn't have much respect for nobles. However, as a Konoha ninja, he still needed to show some basic etiquette when facing a prince of the Land of Fire.

Moreover, through Naruto, he also learned that this prince had done many good deeds for Konoha.

"Lord Jiraiya, you're too kind. I've heard about your legendary deeds a long time ago, especially your book, 'The Story of the Strong-Willed Ninja.' To be honest, it was after reading that book that I suddenly wanted to become a ninja and went to the Fire Temple to become an apprentice."

Li Chuan looked deeply moved.

Jiraiya, who was only being polite at first, immediately changed his attitude after hearing what Li Chuan said.

What Jiraiya was most proud of was not his title as one of the Legendary Sannin, nor his powerful ninjutsu, nor his status in Konoha, but his identity as a writer and the several best-selling books he wrote.

The prince of the Land of Fire became a ninja after reading his first book, which greatly satisfied his vanity.

"Haha, that was my first work, and it wasn't nearly as popular as my later works, 'Intimate Paradise' and 'Intimate Violence.' I never expected His Highness to have such a discerning eye."

Because of one sentence, Jiraiya's favorability towards Li Chuan increased significantly.

What is "The Story of Strong Willpower and Perseverance"?

Naruto quickly finished a bowl of ramen and immediately ordered another. Today, the Perverted Sage was treating, so he was allowed to eat as much as he wanted until he was satisfied.

"That's a very insightful book. Naruto, you should definitely read it when you have time."

Li Chuan patted Naruto on the shoulder.

After reading this book, you'll master the art of verbal persuasion. At that point, anyone with even a shred of kindness in their nature will be unable to escape your charm.

"Another bowl, please! This time, I'll have miso chashu ramen!"

After finishing his second bowl, Naruto asked for a third.

Seeing this, Jiraiya muttered to himself:

"Eat as much as you want, it's the last time anyway."

"What, the last time?"

Naruto looked at Jiraiya with some confusion.

"It's nothing, eat up, eat as much as you want, eat until you have no regrets."

Jiraiya quickly laughed it off.

The oblivious Naruto didn't pay much attention and continued to slurp up the ramen that had just been served. Li Chuan, who was next to him, had a sudden realization and roughly understood what was going on.

In this situation, it seems Jiraiya is using his life and death to stimulate Naruto to enter the seal within his body and begin to control the Nine-Tails' chakra.

"Another bowl, please!"

Just as Naruto was eating his eighth bowl, Li Chuan suddenly froze, then involuntarily glanced at the spot where Jiraiya had just been sitting.

"Such speed, I almost didn't even notice."

The spot where Jiraiya was sitting had been replaced by a giant green frog plush toy.

"I'm full, you lecherous sage. Shall we proceed with our next training session, huh, you lecherous sage?"

After Naruto finished his eighth bowl of ramen, he was finally completely full. He rubbed his round belly and looked at Jiraiya next to him, waiting for him to pay and leave.

The result was obvious: Jiraiya cleverly skipped out on the bill.

The ramen shop's lady, Ayame, handed the bill to Naruto with a "friendly" expression.

"Nine bowls of ramen, totaling 500 taels!"

Naruto's body slumped upon hearing this. He never expected his master to be so tasteless. He had promised to treat him, but instead skipped out on the bill and made him pay. Besides paying for his own portion, he also had to pay for Jiraiya's.

You should know that as a genin, you basically only take on low-level missions like finding cats and walking dogs, and the reward is usually a few thousand ryo, after deducting the village's share.

When it was finally time to get it, the team leader took the lion's share, and the remaining three were divided equally, so there wasn't much left.

Moreover, besides daily living expenses, there are also medical expenses, weapons, and military rations, so savings are really not much.

So Naruto only eats a bowl of ramen, which costs fifty or sixty ounces, when he really wants to. Even then, he doesn't dare to eat to his heart's content, otherwise his savings will run out.

Now look what happened! Jiraiya tricked me like this, and all the money I'd painstakingly saved up over the past few months as a ninja has vanished in an instant.

"Put it on my tab!"

Li Chuan smiled at Ayame, then pointed to the alley on the right and said to Naruto:

"Lord Jiraiya fled that way. If you hurry, you might still be able to catch up."

As a true tycoon, Li Chuan had pre-deposited a sum of money for meals at various restaurants in Konoha, and each time he finished eating, he could simply deduct the amount from that pre-deposited money.

With the money he had saved at Yile, let alone nine bowls, even a hundred bowls would be nothing.

Currently, having completely controlled the economy of the Land of Waves, Li Chuan has a considerable amount of money at his disposal.

Spending a little money to win over the Konoha ninjas is truly the cheapest way to do it.

"Brother Chuan, you're such a kind person!"

Upon hearing that Li Chuan would pay the bill for him, Naruto was immediately moved to tears, and then roared as he chased after Jiraiya down the alley where he had fled.

Tenzo, standing to the side, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, because he hadn't noticed Jiraiya leaving, let alone which alley Jiraiya had fled into.

This shows that Li Chuan's perception was much more acute than his.

This is actually normal. Normally, apart from ninjas with special sensory abilities, most ninjas don't have such exaggerated physical functions when they're not using chakra.

But Li Chuan is different. Even without using chakra, his physical functions are many times that of a normal ninja, and his five senses and other aspects are certainly not comparable to those of an ordinary ninja.

After finishing his ramen with Tenzo and saying a formal goodbye, Li Chuan returned to the Sarutobi clan's villa.

"It seems the third generation truly trusts you!"

Inside the room, Zabuza leaned against the corner of the wall and said.

For more than a month, thanks to Danzo's presence, he and Bai basically disguised themselves as guards and maids, and stayed in the villa to avoid being discovered.

"Yes, we can start in a few more days."

A smile also appeared on Li Chuan's face.

He had been coveting the ninjutsu on the forbidden scroll for a long time, and in a few days he would be able to get his hands on it.
