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

Chapter 158 Acquisition of Numerous Ninjutsu Techniques (First Update)

If Hidan had honestly completed the mission, in accordance with the spirit of the contract, he would not have intended to kill him.

But this guy is always so fussy and restless, and in the end he even broke his promise and cursed me to death, so don't blame me for being impolite.

However, although Hidan had some suspicions before using the Killing Curse, he wasn't entirely certain that it could kill him so directly.

It can only be said that Hidan's immortality is indeed rather inferior.

That's fine too. Hidan isn't very strong, but his curse-killing technique is truly disgusting. If someone were to learn from him one day and give him their blood, and Hidan were to use a curse-killing technique on him, he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Moreover, this immortal duo always takes on killing missions. Who knows if they'll take on a mission to kill Di Lu beforehand? Killing one of them in advance is a kind of precaution.

"You broke the agreement, and I, your employer, had to take action myself, and in the end, you even tried to kill your employer. This is utterly unethical, Mr. Kakuzu!"

After killing Hidan, Li Chuan turned around and gave Kakuzu a good scolding.

It took Kakuzu a while to recover, and a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes as he said:

"Indeed, Hidan was a bit disobedient. Now that you've killed him, you can pay the reward for the mission, right?"

"certainly!"

Li Chuan took five large boxes out of a small cloth bag at his waist and threw them to Kakuzu.

"Here is five hundred million taels, the reward for this mission."

Kakuzu took the boxes, opened them, and glanced at them. Each box did indeed contain about 500 million taels of silver notes. He then placed all the boxes behind him, preparing to deal with Li Chuan.

Although he was annoyed by Hidan and planned to kill him in the future, it could only be him who killed him. It wouldn't be right for him to go back to the organization if someone else killed him instead of avenging Hidan.

But at that moment, Li Chuan spoke again:

"I have another task here, also worth 500 million taels. I wonder if Mr. Kakuzu would be willing to accept it?"

"you say?"

Kakuzu silently withdrew his hands, which were about to form hand seals.

Li Chuan took out a large number of scrolls from his small cloth bag and placed them on the ground, then took out his brush and ink:

"I know that you are proficient in all five elements of ninjutsu. If you write down all the five elements of ninjutsu you know, I am willing to pay you 500 million ryo as a reward."

He has now become a disciple of the third generation, and he will definitely learn a lot of the five elements of ninjutsu in the future. However, it would be best if he could acquire even more ninjutsu.

The Third Hokage was proficient in the five elemental ninjutsu of Konoha, while Kakuzu was proficient in the five elemental ninjutsu of Takigakure and the five elemental ninjutsu of other ninja villages he had acquired over the years.

Kakuzu was silent for a moment before saying:

"Add another two hundred million, and I'll sell you not only the five elemental ninjutsu, but also the composite ninjutsu I created."

"make a deal!"

Li Chuan took out seven more boxes in one go. After Kakuzu checked them, he squatted down and began to write furiously.

An hour later, Li Chuan looked at the ninjutsu scrolls one by one and put them all into his small cloth bag with satisfaction.

At this moment, Kakuzu placed the twelve boxes under the tree behind him, came to Li Chuan, formed hand seals, and released four things that looked like No-Face.

"Mr. Kakuzu, what are you doing?"

Li Chuan looked at Kakuzu without any surprise on his face, as if he had already guessed this scene.

Kakuzu didn't waste any words and said directly:

"The deal is done. You are no longer the employer, so I'm going to kill you and take your head back to the organization. That's the only way to settle things."

After speaking, he formed a hand seal again:

"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"

A lightning-struck spear flew from Kakuzu's hand and shot straight at Li Chuan.

"Armor for protection!"

Li Chuan waved his wand, and an Ironclad Spell shield blocked the lightning spear.

However, in less than a second, the Ironclad Curse began to crack and shatter.

"What immense power!"

Li Chuan's eyes lit up, and he activated the first two gates of the Eight Gates Formation again, quickly retreating to narrowly dodge the lightning spear.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a huge crater was blasted out of the spot where Li Chuan had been standing.

It should be noted that when Kabuto Yakushi used Water Dragon Bullet, Kimimaro used Ten-Finger Piercing Bullet, and Kidomaru used Severing Blade, three ninjutsu hit his Iron Armor Curse at the same time, and the Iron Armor Curse could still last for three seconds before breaking.

And this Lightning Release: False Darkness technique didn't even last a second for Ironclad Curse.

It is undeniable that Lightning Release is the most destructive of the five ninjutsu, but the fact that it has reached this level also shows that even among Lightning Release, False Darkness is a very high-level ninjutsu.

Li Chuan was happy because this ninjutsu was also recorded in the ninjutsu scroll written by Kakuzu.

"Such speed! You can dodge one ninjutsu, can you dodge five?"

Kakuzu formed hand seals again, and at the same time, the four masked black Earth Grudges opened their mouths.

"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"

"Fire Release: Head Carving!"

"Water Release: Water Curtain!"

Five advanced ninjutsu techniques attacked Li Chuan's location simultaneously. Except for Lightning Release, which was a single-target attack, the other four techniques were all advanced area-of-effect attacks, making them impossible to dodge.

"That's enough for today. We can spar again another time."

Seeing this, Li Chuan immediately cast a smoke spell and then Apparated away.

Unable to use the Fire Temple Ninjutsu and his second form, and relying solely on magic, he was no match for Kakuzu, who possessed Kage-level strength, so it was best for him to leave first.

If he uses the Fire Temple Ninjutsu and the second form, a little inquiry will reveal that it is the mark of the Prince of the Land of Fire. If he uses magic, it will only remind people of the mysterious person who stole the Book of Seals.

Li Chuan doesn't want to confront Akatsuki, whose members are all at the Kage level, so he definitely can't reveal his identity as Ming Shang.

After a devastating barrage of ninjutsu, Kakuzu glanced around, his brow furrowing once more.

"Who is this guy? How did he manage to escape like that?!"

After confirming that Li Chuan had indeed vanished without a trace, Kakuzu had no choice but to carry Hidan's corpse on his shoulder, take out a sealing scroll, and intend to seal the 1.2 billion ryo contained in the twelve boxes inside the scroll.

However, when he picked up the first box, his pupils shrank, and he immediately opened the box as fast as he could. But there was only a one-hundred-tael silver note lying inside.

He then quickly threw Hidan's body on the ground and opened all twelve boxes one by one.

"I will definitely kill you!!!"

Even after Hidan was killed, Kakuzu, who had remained calm, roared angrily into the sky.

Of the twelve boxes, each originally contained one hundred million taels of silver notes, but now only one hundred taels remain. In other words, despite working so hard, losing a teammate, and contributing so many ninjutsu techniques, he only received one thousand two hundred taels as compensation.

Meanwhile, Li Chuan, who was in a room in the Prince's mansion in the Land of Fire, muttered to himself:

"By now, the effects of the copying spell should have worn off!"
