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

Chapter 161 Returning to the Main World and the Experiment (First Update)

Li Chuan revealed information about the Sharingan and Rinnegan, partly to exchange for Orochimaru's ninjutsu, and partly to pique Orochimaru's interest in the Rinnegan.

Because he will definitely get Nagato's Rinnegan later on, and he can't deal with Akatsuki and Pain alone, who are all Kage-level. By piquing Orochimaru's interest, he can bring Orochimaru onto the ship in the future.

Orochimaru's lips twitched upon hearing this. The other party was talking about the information that he was most interested in, but suddenly ended it. It was like a fishbone stuck in his throat, which was very uncomfortable.

"Alright, I think we brothers will definitely have a lot of collaboration in the future. Now tell me, which ninjutsu I created have caught your eye?"

Orochimaru knew he couldn't let Li Chuan lead him by the nose any longer, so he forcibly suppressed his curiosity and changed the subject.

If all else fails, he can always find out more about Madara Uchiha's secrets and his relationship with Akatsuki.

"Soft body modification and your special substitute technique."

Li Chuan didn't waste any words and directly stated his answer.

The purpose of the soft body modification was to carry things when traveling between worlds, while Orochimaru's substitution jutsu was because his substitution jutsu was really good. It didn't require hand seals, and as long as he suffered a fatal wound, he could immediately shed his skin and escape. It was even immune to Amaterasu, which was really good.

Although the scene looked slightly perverse and disgusting, with something crawling out of one's own mouth, they were already fatally wounded, so they didn't care about whether it was perverse or disgusting.

He has always been a pragmatist; as long as it works, that's enough.

"So it's those two techniques? I thought you wanted my Reincarnation technique and were after my longevity technique!"

Orochimaru's face showed a look of surprise.

He hadn't expected that Li Chuan, after revealing so much important information, would only ask for these two not-so-powerful ninjutsu, abandoning his most prized longevity technique.

"Ahem, I do want your rebirth, but I'm sure you wouldn't agree, senior brother. I'm aware of that much."

Li Chuan coughed twice to explain.

To be honest, he didn't really care about the Reincarnation technique. Changing bodies every three years was such a low-quality way to achieve immortality that he wouldn't even consider it given his circumstances.

Hearing Li Chuan's answer, Orochimaru reasoned that there was no problem, because even if Li Chuan had asked, he couldn't possibly teach Li Chuan the Reanimation Jutsu.

But for some reason, he felt that something was wrong, and he just felt uneasy.

"Here are the two ninjutsu techniques you requested. Feel free to contact me again for another trade!"

Orochimaru opened his mouth, spat out two ninjutsu scrolls, and placed them on the table.

Li Chuan took out his wand and cast a cleaning spell on the scroll, removing the slime. After opening it to make sure there were no problems, he put it into his small cloth bag.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes again when he saw Li Chuan using a wooden stick to perform ninjutsu without needing to form hand seals.

"Junior brother seems to have developed quite a few strange ninjutsu. We can exchange them sometime."

He really coveted the other person's body, their strange ninjutsu, and their little-known information, but he really didn't have the confidence to keep them here.

He knew his opponent was very cautious. If he couldn't take them down instantly and give them time to use their space-time ninjutsu, he would never have another chance.

Therefore, he opted for a more amicable long-term partnership.

"No problem. Now that the deal is done, I'll be going!"

Li Chuan stood up, waved to Orochimaru, then left the hotel and Apparated away in a deserted alley.

"Lord Orochimaru, is all the information he provided true?"

After Li Chuan left, Yakushi Kabuto walked into the room with a shocked expression.

To prevent their conversation from being overheard, or if Orochimaru needed help, Kabuto Yakushi was keeping watch in the next room and overheard the sensational information Li Chuan was saying.

The giant snake nodded:

"At least most of it should be true, but I don't know what the relationship is between Pain and Uchiha Madara."

"The plan to take Sasuke away?"

"Issuer Kabuto asked."

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue:

"His inner darkness is not deep enough yet, and the curse mark was not successfully planted last time. Let's slow down a bit. My body is nearing its limit. We'll consider bringing him back after this reincarnation."

You continue to remain undercover in Konoha. Report any intelligence to me immediately!

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"

After returning to the capital from the Land of Rice Fields, Li Chuan did not immediately return to Konoha to learn the five elemental ninjutsu from the Third Hokage. Instead, he focused all his energy on the Soft Body Modification Technique.

He has five days left, so he must learn this ninjutsu before returning.

The Soft Body Modification Technique is a ninjutsu created by Orochimaru. After applying it, he can make his body as flexible as a snake, and in close combat, he can make his body so flexible that he can wrap his body around his opponent like a python.

If you train to the limit, like Orochimaru, you can even stretch your neck for tens of meters and fly out to bite someone, like a monster.

At the same time, because its body is flexible enough, it can also stuff things into its belly and take them out at any time.

Li Chuan doesn't need to train to that level yet; being able to stuff things into his stomach is already good enough.

And just like that, five days passed quickly.

With one minute left in the countdown, he quickly formed hand seals, performed a soft body modification technique, and then stuffed a palm-sized box from the table into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

The one-minute countdown ended, and the scene shifted to him back at the base in Sokovia.

"It really works!"

Feeling that the small box was still inside his belly, Li Chuan's face immediately lit up with surprise.

He created that box in the Naruto world. If this method is not feasible, then he shouldn't be able to sense the box's existence now.

He opened his mouth and spat the box out, looked inside, and then sighed.

"It seems that only inanimate objects can be carried out; living things will still be quarantined out."

It turned out that the box contained not only a lot of purchased explosive tags and military rations, but also an extra little rabbit.

But now everything else in the box is still there, but the little rabbit has disappeared. I don't know if it was isolated and left in the Naruto world, or if it was directly erased when it traveled between worlds.

In any case, it means that he cannot travel between small worlds with anything that is alive, not even if he hides it in his stomach.

However, this is already quite good. Being able to carry inanimate objects means that he can carry some high-powered modern weapons into other worlds.

For example, machine guns, rocket launchers, missiles, bombs, and even—nuclear bombs!
