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

Chapter 159 Senior Brother and Junior Brother (Second Update)

The Copy Charm is a spell that can duplicate objects.

However, these replicas can only fool Muggles. Most wizards with a little education can tell the difference between the real and fake ones, and the replicas will disappear once their magic is exhausted.

Because of trade with the Land of Waves, Li Chuan is now very wealthy. 1.2 billion is not a lot for him, but how could he possibly send money to the Akatsuki?

So before going to the gold exchange, he used a copying spell to copy twenty hundred-tael silver notes into twenty billion, which he then packed into twenty boxes, though he only used twelve of them later.

At this time, Danzo, whose anger was no less than Kakuzu's, was also at Konoha's main headquarters.

Today, Danzo had just returned to the Root base after the meeting and was thinking about how to take this opportunity to make the Third Hokage hand over the position when he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and then a large amount of blood flowed out from his heart.

Seeing that he was about to be assassinated in his own lair, he immediately sacrificed one of his Sharingan eyes to unleash the ultimate eye technique of the Uchiha clan, Izanagi.

However, within a minute, no matter how hard he searched, even after summoning a large number of Root ninjas, he still couldn't find the person who had assassinated him.

Just as he was wondering, his one-minute immortality ended, and his heart was pierced again, forcing him to use up another Sharingan.

As if he had seen a ghost, it happened once a minute, eleven times in a row. This situation only completely stopped after the Mangekyou Sharingan he had taken from Shisui in his right eye had to be consumed in order to save his life.

"Who is it? Who on earth is it?"

Danzo covered his right eye, which had completely lost its function, his expression so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

The Sharingan was one of his greatest trump cards, especially the Mangekyou Sharingan he stole from Shisui. Now, it had been inexplicably destroyed, and his heart was bleeding.

The Uchiha clan has been wiped out, so it's impossible for him to obtain a new Sharingan unless he takes Sasuke's Sharingan.

But Sasuke had the Third Hokage protecting him, and he was also very wary of Itachi.

Most importantly, he still doesn't know what kind of ninjutsu he was ambushed by, and he has been killed eleven times in a row. If the other party makes another move, won't he be doomed?

"Could it be that guy?!"

At that moment, Danzo suddenly remembered someone—the mysterious person who stole the Book of Seals.

The mysterious man's ninjutsu, which resembled witchcraft, was also very strange. Perhaps that guy had used some unknown and eerie ninjutsu to ambush him again.

His desire was understandable, because the other person had been trying to get close to him that day and had eventually slashed his back, drawing some of his blood.

He sensed something was wrong at the time, but he didn't think much of it.

"Ryoma, how's the investigation into that mysterious person going?"

Danzo took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and asked one of the Root ninjas leading the group.

The ninja stepped forward and replied:

"We haven't found any information about any ninjas who match the characteristics of the mysterious man. However, we have found his two subordinates. Based on the characteristics of the ninjutsu they use, they are likely Zabuza Momochi, the fugitive ninja of the Mist Village, and his subordinate Haku."

"A rogue ninja from Kirigakure?"

Danzo frowned. If the rogue ninja was involved, it would be very troublesome, because it was very likely that he was just hired by the mysterious person to carry out a mission.

"Take men to find those two and try to extract information about the mysterious person from them!"

He was killed eleven times today, and he needs to figure out what happened.

"Danzo, you should be glad you're still somewhat useful, otherwise you'd be finished today!"

Inside the Prince's mansion, Li Chuan pulled out the Book of Seals and those ninjutsu scrolls and began to study them on his own.

The main reason he spared Danzo's life was to keep the Third Hokage in check.

Since the Third Hokage is still alive, killing Danzo would truly make Konoha a place ruled by the Third Hokage, which would not be good for his later desire to control Konoha.

Although the Third Hokage accepted him as a disciple, it was clear that his calculations outweighed his sincerity, and he was unlikely to allow Li Chuan to have much power in Konoha in the future.

This is definitely in conflict with Li Chuan's own interests, so he needs someone who can keep three generations in check, allowing him to play both sides and gain more benefits.

This character is Danzo, who lived during the same period as the Third Hokage.

Once Danzo loses Shisui's strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, he has nothing to fear.

He secluded himself to study ninjutsu for four days before using Apparition to reach the border of the Land of Fire and then quietly entered the Land of Rice Fields.

"Yo, Lord Orochimaru is here early!"

In a private room of a restaurant in a certain town, Li Chuan pushed open the door, looked at Orochimaru who was already sitting there drinking tea, and greeted him with a smile.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, on becoming the Hokage's disciple. By that logic, you're now my junior brother."

Orochimaru put down his cup, a strange look flashing in his eyes as he looked at Li Chuan.

Li Chuan chuckled and, without any ceremony, sat down opposite Orochimaru, picked up the teapot on the table, and filled Orochimaru's cup with tea.

"Since we're fellow disciples, senior brother, you'll have to take good care of junior brother from now on!"

"Hmph, but junior brother is very disobedient. He actually ruined senior brother's good deed. That's not right."

Orochimaru stretched out his long snake head and licked his lips, his tone suddenly turning cold, his vertical yellow pupils resembling a venomous snake ready to bite at any moment.

Upon hearing this, Li Chuan simply waved his hand:

"Senior brother, you've misunderstood me. I'm not trying to ruin your plans, but to save your life."

"Oh, how so?"

Orochimaru stared intently at Li Chuan.

Li Chuan poured himself a cup of tea:

"The Uzumaki clan's strongest sealing technique, the Reaper Death Seal, was a ninjutsu used by the Fourth Hokage to seal the Nine-Tails. I think you should know some information about it, senior brother."

"If I hadn't risked revealing my space-time ninjutsu by teleporting in to stop the Third Hokage, and he had unexpectedly summoned the Shinigami, do you think your soul, once taken by the Shinigami, could have been resurrected through the cursed seal?"

"So, you really were saving me."

Orochimaru's expression didn't change much because of Li Chuan's words.

He understood these principles, but his intuition told him that the other party's intervention at that time was definitely not just to save him; there must have been other purposes, perhaps to become the Hokage's disciple like he is now.

"Although I saved my senior brother's life, it's nothing to brag about. Let's talk about other things. The main reason I wanted to meet with my senior brother is that I want to make a deal with him."

"Of course this is a fair trade, and it will absolutely satisfy my senior brother!"

Li Chuan knew that Orochimaru wouldn't believe him given his personality, and he also believed that Orochimaru wouldn't take action unless he was absolutely certain he could capture him. So, he abandoned this time-wasting topic and got straight to the point.
