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

Chapter 285 The Power of a Single Punch!

"Get out of here!"

Seeing Kisame charging straight at him, Li Chuan immediately activated his second form, turned around to gather his strength, and slammed his hand down hard at the oncoming Kisame.

With his powerful physical strength amplified by chakra, even without opening the Eight Gates, his punch still produced a terrifying sonic boom.

With Enhancer No. 1, Hulk Gene Serum, Extremity Virus, Core Formation Realm cultivator's physical amplification, and Chakra physical amplification, Li Chuan is now so powerful that even without using any ninjutsu, magic, or spells.

It is already terrifying to rely solely on the strength of the physical body.

"What?!"

Seeing Li Chuan's body suddenly grow larger, and the attacking fist hadn't even reached him yet, but the wind from the punch already stung his face, Kisame knew he had encountered a master. He quickly held Samehada horizontally in front of him to block.

"Xingyi - Bengquan!"

The fist, as big as a clay pot, collided violently with Kisame's Samehada, unleashing a tremendous burst of power.

"boom!"

Kisame spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward like a cannonball, crashing through more than a dozen large trees along the riverbank before finally managing to stop himself by planting Samehada in the ground.

"Interesting, very interesting. It's been a long time since I've encountered an enemy that gets my blood pumping like this."

But you must be feeling bad right now too!

As he spoke, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

That punch was too powerful; even with Samehada blocking it, he felt his body couldn't withstand it.

However, Samehada can absorb the enemy's chakra, and at the very moment of contact, he had Samehada unleash the sharp barbs on its surface, rendering the opponent's fist useless at that moment.

"What's bothering you? Are you talking about my hand?"

Li Chuan smiled and stretched out his perfectly intact right hand.

How could he not know about Samehada?

Samehada was originally a follower fish that lived by attaching itself to the Three-Tails. It mutated because it absorbed the Three-Tails' chakra over the years and was later transformed into a special ninja sword by the ninjas of Kirigakure.

It can absorb the enemy's chakra through contact and replenish the user's chakra. It can also use its own chakra to help the user recover from physical injuries. It is a ninja sword with its own consciousness and life.

However, it also has weaknesses. As a fish, it is relatively afraid of powerful fire-style techniques, and it can only absorb pure chakra. If the chakra undergoes a nature change and becomes ninjutsu, it cannot be absorbed.

Or the chakra may no longer be pure, for example, if it has been mixed with natural energy and become Sage Chakra, it will not be able to absorb it.

When Li Chuan's fist touched Samehada, some of his chakra was indeed absorbed, but he has an enormous amount of chakra now, so he doesn't care about that little bit.

Furthermore, he used the true energy in his dantian to create some obstruction, greatly hindering Samehada's absorption of chakra.

Actually, if he hadn't temporarily chosen not to show Sage Mode in front of Kurenai and Asuma, Samehada wouldn't have been able to absorb a single bit of his chakra when he transformed into Sage Mode.

As for the sharp barbs on Samehada's body.

First, his skin is thick and tough, so the barbs couldn't penetrate his body much and had no effect on him. Second, because of the regenerative ability of the Extremis virus, the barbs were completely repaired as soon as they were pulled out.

"How could this happen!"

Seeing Li Chuan's perfectly intact right hand, Kisame's face showed surprise again.

However, he quickly absorbed the chakra that Samehada had transferred into his body, repaired his recently injured body, and returned to his best condition.

"It seems they do have some strength, worth my full effort."

Kisame ripped off all the bandages from Samehada, revealing its true form, and became excited.

As an S-rank rogue ninja of the Mist Village, his strength is not only in his powerful taijutsu, but also in the enormous chakra within him that is comparable to that of a tailed beast, as well as various super-powerful high-level water-style ninjutsu.

Therefore, even if the opponent's physical skills are better than his, they will definitely not be his match.

Just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by Itachi beside him.

"Kisame, stop! We didn't come here to start a war. It's regrettable, but there's no need to stay here any longer. Let's go back!"

Itachi never intended to kill Asuma and Kurenai; he was just putting on an act.

He knew that with Ashima and Kurenai's strength, they could hold off Kisame for a short time.

As long as other reinforcements from Konoha arrive, he will have a reason to retreat with Kisame.

Now that we've encountered a powerful ninja who injured Kisame with a single blow, if we don't leave now, when will we?

"Damn it, since Itachi-san has said so, there's nothing we can do about it!"

Kisame was very unwilling to leave like this, but in the end he agreed.

He still held his comrade Itachi in high esteem.

One reason is that the two of them are the same type of people. When he was an assassin ninja in the Hidden Mist Village, he was loyal to the village and did many dark missions for the village.

In particular, to protect the security of intelligence, they killed many of their fellow villagers.

This once caused him great pain and confusion.

He only found relief when he met the guy who controlled the Fourth Mizukage and called himself Uchiha Madara, and joined that great goal of creating a better world.

Therefore, he felt that Itachi, who killed all his clan members and defected, was the same type of person as him, and some of the things Itachi said often made him feel that they were very philosophical about life.

For example, that sentence that still deeply moves him to this day:

"No matter who you are, you can only see what kind of person you really are at the very last moment."

On the other hand, that is, of course, Itachi's strength.

As Itachi's companion, Kisame knew very well just how powerful Itachi was.

The most powerful genjutsu, Tsukuyomi; the inextinguishable black flames of Amaterasu; the powerful Susanoo; and the incredibly skillful shuriken and various genjutsu.

He knew that if he were to fight Itachi one-on-one, he would definitely be no match for him.

So even though he was really unwilling and wanted to fight that guy, he immediately agreed after hearing Itachi speak.

After deciding to evacuate, the two immediately activated the Body Flicker Technique and fled towards the outskirts of Konoha Village.

As a secret agent of the Third Hokage, Itachi naturally knew all the codes of Konoha's barriers and could leave Konoha without hindrance, ignoring the barriers.

"Want to leave? Not so easy."

Li Chuan's figure flashed, and he quickly chased after them. However, he didn't really go all out to catch up. Instead, he deliberately kept a distance and just trailed behind the two of them.

It's not convenient to use his full strength in Konoha, and he also hopes to stay away from it.

"So strong!"

At this moment, Asuma and Kurenai realized that Li Chuan's strength seemed to have increased significantly since they last met him.

However, both of them were elite Jonin and quickly reacted. Asuma took Kakashi to the hospital, while Kurenai went to the Hokage Building to report the situation to the Third Hokage.
