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

Chapter 284 Appearing to Save the Day (Third Update)

"Three days in that world are equivalent to a fleeting moment in reality, so why didn't he kill me? If he wanted to, it should have been easy!"

Kakashi struggled to lift his head and look at the expressionless Uchiha Itachi in front of him, a thought creeping into his mind.

He had just fallen victim to a genjutsu called "Tsukuyomi" by Itachi, which pulled his mind into a void world. In that world, Itachi chatted with him while repeatedly stabbing him with his sword for three whole days before it ended.

But by the time he came to his senses, only a moment had passed in the real world.

If Itachi had wanted to kill him at that time, he would have had no ability to resist at all. A single kunai could have ended his life, but the other party just stood there and did not continue to strike.

"This is truly rare. After being hit by Itachi's attack, he didn't suffer a mental breakdown."

Kisame, carrying the Samehada ninja sword, appeared next to Itachi with a Body Flicker Technique. He looked at Kakashi, who was still standing, with a surprised expression.

However, he then turned to Itachi beside him and asked with concern:

"Mr. Itachi, overusing those eyes is also dangerous for you."

"Did you come here for Sasuke?"

Although Kakashi was on the verge of a mental breakdown, he was still trying his best to extract information.

Itachi brushed aside his wind-blown hair and replied expressionlessly:

"No, what we want is the legacy left by the Fourth Hokage—Naruto Uzumaki."

"What?!"

Upon hearing Itachi's words, Kakashi and the other two's eyes narrowed simultaneously. Naruto was not only the son of the Fourth Hokage, but also the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails.

These two people's goal was actually to steal the Nine-Tails from Konoha.

"The target is the Nine-Tails inside Naruto. Are you two working in pairs with the Akatsuki, an organization that has been capturing tailed beasts lately?"

Kakashi remembered what Jiraiya had told him before, and went straight to the point to probe.

A few days ago, Jiraiya found him and told him that during the years he was chasing Orochimaru, he discovered that Orochimaru had joined a dangerous organization called "Akatsuki" composed entirely of S-rank rogue ninja from various villages.

This organization seems to be collecting tailed beasts recently.

Therefore, in order to protect Naruto's safety, Jiraiya planned to take Naruto away from the village to train alone.

"Kisame, take Kakashi away, then kill the other two."

Upon hearing that Kakashi knew about Akatsuki's information, Itachi's expression changed slightly, and he immediately gave an order to Kisame.

Kisame was clearly very obedient to Itachi's orders, and he grabbed Samehada and charged forward.

"Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!"

However, at that moment, a thick plume of smoke suddenly shot out from the path beside the riverbank, accompanied by powerful flames that rushed straight toward Kisame, forcing him to immediately do a backflip and retreat temporarily.

"Asuma, Kurenai, Kakashi, what's going on? Are they ninjas from the village? I've never seen them before."

It was Li Chuan who came to help.

He originally planned to wait for Guy to come out and save the day before secretly following Itachi and Kisame as they retreated, and then take them down in secret. But he didn't realize that even as Kisame launched his attack, he couldn't sense Guy's chakra nearby.

So he had no choice but to show up and save the day.

"Is it Kawawa? They're not village ninjas. One is Itachi Uchiha, a Konoha rogue ninja, and the other is Kisame Hoshigaki, a Kikage rogue ninja."

The two of them came to Konoha to kidnap Naruto!

Upon hearing Li Chuan's voice, Hong and Asuma immediately recognized him and quickly explained with their eyes closed.

They didn't know when Li Chuan returned to Konoha, but they knew that Li Chuan definitely had strength close to that of an elite Jonin, and having one more person would definitely increase their chances of winning.

"Do not look directly into their eyes; try to judge their movement by looking at their feet."

At that moment, Kakashi saw Li Chuan appear, and he could no longer hold on. He left behind a few words, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

He just regretted that Guy wasn't in the village on a mission, otherwise Guy's fighting style would have been the best counter to Itachi, and he would have had a better chance of winning.

Seeing this, Li Chuan flashed to Kakashi's side and lifted him out of the water:

"It seems like I've been attacked by some kind of mental attack. Unfortunately, my medical ninjutsu can only repair the physical body; it has no effect on mental attacks."

"Kakashi was attacked by Itachi's Sharingan genjutsu."

At this moment, Asuma and Kurenai also opened their eyes, but they still dared not look directly at Itachi.

However, Li Chuan wasn't particularly concerned about Itachi's Sharingan genjutsu, and handed Kakashi over to Asuma, saying:

"I have a way to deal with his illusion. You can't fight like this. Take Kakashi to the hospital for treatment first, and then hurry up and go find Sarutobi-sensei to call for reinforcements."

Itachi's Tsukuyomi is indeed powerful, arguably the best genjutsu in the world besides Infinite Tsukuyomi.

However, for Li Chuan, there was a way to deal with it.

First of all, Itachi's Tsukuyomi consumes a lot of ocular power, and Itachi's body is not very good. After using it once, he probably won't be able to use it a second time immediately.

Secondly, the activation of Tsukuyomi definitely requires a certain distance; it's impossible for someone to be hit at a glance from a hundred meters away.

If it were that powerful, Itachi would have been invincible long ago.

Therefore, as long as you maintain a certain distance, you can avoid being hit by Tsukuyomi.

Finally, the essence of genjutsu is a mental attack that disrupts chakra. Since Tsukuyomi is a genjutsu, it is no exception. However, its mental attack intensity is too high, and it cannot be broken by ordinary methods.

However, Li Chuan possesses the bloodline of a wizard and has formed a golden core, greatly enhancing his primordial spirit. His spiritual power has definitely surpassed that of Itachi. Furthermore, he can use the true essence of his golden core to disrupt the effects of illusions.

So even if you are hit by Tsukuyomi head-on, it is still uncertain whether it will have any effect.

"But."

Seeing that Li Chuan was going to stand alone to deal with Itachi and Kisame, two powerful fighters, Asuma and Kurenai hesitated.

Li Chuan then added in a low voice:

"Don't forget I also know space-time ninjutsu. Even if I can't win, I can escape. Don't worry."

Hearing Li Chuan say this, the two were relieved.

Yes, they almost forgot that Li Chuan is not only a powerful medical ninja, but also knows space-time ninjutsu. It was Li Chuan who used space-time ninjutsu to rescue the Third Hokage.

"Want to leave? We'll see if Samehada in my hand is willing!"

Hearing the discussion between Li Chuan and the other two, Kisame charged over again, carrying Samehada.

One person tried to stop him and Itachi, wanting to see what made this new young ninja so arrogant.

Asuma and Kurenai were renowned elite Jonin of Konoha, and his intelligence manual contained some information about them. However, this new young ninja was not recorded in his intelligence manual, so he was obviously not a very strong ninja.

Konoha and Sunagakure have now reconciled, but to save face, neither side has revealed any details about the previous "Konoha Crush Plan".

Therefore, many villages outside the village do not actually have any information about Li Chuan, and Xiao is no exception.
