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

Chapter 290 Mangekyou Sharingan Acquired (Third Update)

"sky"

With things having come to this point, Itachi could no longer hold back. His right Mangekyou Sharingan spun wildly as he prepared to unleash the inextinguishable flame Amaterasu on Li Chuan.

However, the next second, Li Chuan's figure had already disappeared before his eyes.

Then, before he could react at all, a small flying sword hovered in front of his right Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Uchiha Itachi, you should know very well that if I wanted to kill you, you would have died just now, so don't use your right eye's ninjutsu again."

Li Chuan appeared behind Itachi, smiling as he patted him on the shoulder.

Itachi's pupils contracted, and he coughed twice before replying:

"I lost."

"Very good, I am not someone who likes to force others."

Okay, here are two options for you:

First, agree to my previous conditions; this way, it's a win-win situation for everyone.

Second, I'll kill you right now and take both your eyes.

Li Chuan retrieved his small flying sword and walked in front of Itachi.

Itachi twitched his lips, then finally reached out and plucked off his left eye, handing it to Li Chuan, saying:

"I choose the first option!"

He definitely couldn't win in a fight. Although he still had Shisui's Kaleidoscope, which allowed him to use Kotoamatsukami to change his will, he wouldn't use Kotoamatsukami unless Li Chuan really wanted to kill him.

Because it was prepared for his younger brother Sasuke.

"It's a smart choice, and I won't go back on my word."

Li Chuan snapped his fingers, took the left eye from Itachi's hand, and then took out a vial of medicine and injected it directly into Itachi's body.

The weasel, injected with the Extremis virus, let out a roar, and then, thanks to the Extremis virus's healing abilities, a new eye quickly grew back from its previously empty left eye socket.

At the same time, a burst of intense heat erupted from his body.

"My body and my eyes!"

Itachi clenched his fists, feeling his current body and his regrown eyes, and an incredulous expression appeared on his face.

He never expected that what Li Chuan said was actually true.

The body, which had been extremely exhausted from overuse of the kaleidoscope and excessive mental anguish, had now fully recovered and could clearly feel the powerful energy contained within it.

And this flame, which can be controlled at will and originates from instinct, is indeed very similar, even though it is not a bloodline limit.

"Oh dear, it's a pity it didn't grow into the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

At this moment, after Li Chuan put away the left eye, he carefully looked at the new eye that had grown on Itachi's left eye socket and showed a somewhat regretful expression.

The newly grown eye was clearly no longer the Mangekyou Sharingan, but an ordinary eye.

"It's just that it hasn't been awakened yet. If it takes a few years, it should be able to turn back into the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Hearing Li Chuan's sigh, Itachi replied in a relaxed tone.

At this moment, Itachi's hostility towards Li Chuan had largely disappeared, because he understood that if Li Chuan were truly an enemy, then given the terrifying strength Li Chuan had just displayed...

They could have simply killed him and taken his Sharingan instead of trading it, and they could have also helped him heal his body and improve his strength.

Although he only has one Mangekyou Sharingan left for the time being, his strength hasn't actually decreased much because his body has been restored and strengthened, and he has acquired new abilities.

The key is that he can feel that his left eye is still the same eye, but it has returned to the state it was in before it was opened.

With the help of the Mangekyou Sharingan, which originates from the right eye, awakening the Sharingan, developing one tomoe, two tomoe, three tomoe, and eventually the Mangekyou Sharingan will only be a matter of time.

By then, his overall strength will actually improve.

"That's good news!"

Upon hearing Itachi's words, Li Chuan's eyes lit up.

He was still worried about how to further provoke Sasuke to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, because he needed Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan to synthesize the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

It seems unnecessary now. In a few years, when Itachi's left eye turns into a Mangekyou Sharingan again, he can directly use it to combine with the current one to create an eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

The condition for obtaining the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is to transplant the Mangekyou Sharingan of a relative; the closer the blood relation, the higher the success rate.

What bloodline could be closer than one's own?

Of course, it's hard to say whether this operation will succeed, since it has never happened before.

However, if things really don't work out, we can try to provoke Sasuke again. After all, if Sasuke awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan, we can definitely synthesize the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan using just one of his eyes.

"Was everything you said before true?"

Itachi extinguished the flames on his body and looked at Li Chuan with a serious expression.

Li Chuan immediately knew what Itachi wanted to ask, and replied with a smile:

"Of course, there's a member in Akatsuki named Zetsu, right? Ask him about Konoha, and you'll know that what I'm saying is true."

The Third Hokage is getting old, and the only ones who can succeed him are Jiraiya and Tsunade, two of the Legendary Sannin. Unfortunately, Jiraiya is unwilling to become Hokage, and Tsunade doesn't even return to the village anymore.

Oh, and there's Danzo too. But do you think Sasuke could still live a normal life in Konoha if Danzo became Hokage?

Without a doubt, given my strength, my status, and my contributions to Konoha, becoming the Fifth Hokage is only a matter of time.

At this point, Li Chuan paused for a moment, then continued:

"So, cooperate with me. The Third Hokage and his generation were always fighting for power and doing a lot of shady things. If this continues, Konoha will be doomed sooner or later."

"Once I become Hokage, I will reveal the truth of what happened back then, allowing you to reunite with Sasuke, rebuild the Uchiha clan, and then eliminate Danzo and Root—those scourges—so that Konoha can regain its former glory!"

Was Konoha the one Itachi cared about most?

No, Itachi cared most about his younger brother Sasuke, and only secondly about Konoha. Moreover, "Konoha" refers to the entire village of Konoha, not just the Third Hokage.

Therefore, Li Chuan's chances of successfully winning over Itachi are actually quite high.

Sure enough, upon hearing Li Chuan's words, Itachi's face clearly showed a look of excitement.

Doesn't he want to return to Konoha, reunite with Sasuke, clear up the misunderstanding, and live happily ever after?

It's just that he can't, and the higher-ups in Konoha absolutely won't allow it. If Sasuke wants to live safely in Konoha, he has to be like this now.

So what Li Chuan described really appealed to him.

"I will not report what happened today to the Third Hokage. As long as it does not pose a threat to Konoha or Sasuke, I am willing to cooperate with you."

After some thought, Itachi gave his answer.

Li Chuan nodded; he had never intended to harm Konoha or Sasuke.

"No problem, then you can continue to lie low in Xiao. If you have any information, you can pass it on to any of the Chuanji shops in any town."
