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

Chapter 293 Transplanting the Mangekyou Sharingan (Third Update)

"We absolutely cannot afford to have a conflict. I will send someone to investigate this matter secretly."

The third generation nodded in agreement with the advice of the two advisors.

He also did not want to clash with other ninja villages, otherwise the fact that the Sand Village, together with Orochimaru, attacked Konoha would have been enough to start a war between Konoha and the Sand Village.

Although the two advisors are currently colluding with Danzo, the three are still on the same side when it comes to matters of principle.

He understood that the reason Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu colluded with Danzo to force him to step down as Hokage was mainly because he had been in that position for too long.

This has led to their influence as advisors diminishing.

However, one thing is certain: despite their collusion with Danzo, if a new Hokage is to be chosen, the two advisors will not choose Danzo to succeed them.

Because Danzo is a representative of the hawks, if he is made Hokage, the Fourth Shinobi World War can begin in no time.

"I think it's better to leave this decision to the new Hokage!"

At this moment, Danzo let out a cold snort.

The third generation wasn't angry upon hearing this; they simply smiled.

"Choosing a new Hokage is not an easy decision, and Tsunade, one of the candidates, has not yet returned to the village. I, an old man who is about to retire, will handle this matter for now."

"agree."

"agree."

Mitokado En and Utatane Koharu both nodded.

Seeing this, Danzo said nothing more.

Li Chuan, who had been observing the group, had gained a clearer understanding of the current situation within Konoha's upper echelons.

Why did he reveal this information about Amegakure's connection to the Akatsuki organization to the higher-ups of Konoha?

The goal was to have Konoha send some ninjas to secretly infiltrate Amegakure to investigate, in order to attract Nagato's attention.

Rain Village is shrouded in rain, so Nagato will detect any non-Rain Village ninja who infiltrates the village immediately.

Then it's up to Nagato to choose.

He wanted to see whether Nagato would remain silent or gather all Akatsuki members to attack Konoha after learning that Konoha had doubts about Amegakure.

He hoped it was the latter.

That would be very beneficial for his later plans.

After everything was explained, Li Chuan was no longer needed. He and Asuma left the Hokage Building and first went to the hospital to visit Kakashi, who had been severely injured by Itachi's Tsukuyomi.

Kakashi suffered psychological trauma, and the medical ninjas at Konoha Hospital didn't have any good treatment options, so he could only lie down and wait for his mental state to recover on its own.

Meanwhile, inside the hospital, he also saw Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, who had rushed over to see Kakashi after hearing that he was injured.

Through Naruto's words, he learned that Jiraiya would take Naruto out for training in three days, which meant searching for Tsunade to return and take over as Hokage.

At present, the most suitable person for the Third Hokage to succeed him is Jiraiya. As one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha and the Fourth Hokage's teacher, Jiraiya has made great contributions to Konoha.

Jiraiya was chosen to succeed as Hokage, a decision shared by Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

Jiraiya simply didn't want to be Hokage. If he wanted to, he could have become the Fourth Hokage during the selection process, instead of giving it to his student, Minato.

Therefore, the second most suitable candidate is Tsunade, who left the village. She is one of the Legendary Sannin, the princess of the Senju clan, and the granddaughter of the First Hokage.

But Li Chuan knew that Jiraiya would most likely return empty-handed this time.

In the original storyline, Tsunade chose to return to assume the Hokage position because of the Third Hokage's death, Orochimaru's attack on her, and finally seeing her younger brother's shadow in Naruto.

But now that the Third Hokage is still alive and Orochimaru's arm hasn't been sealed, he naturally won't attack Tsunade. Besides, he helped Tsunade settle all her debts when they met before.

Tsunade then had extra money to continue gambling heavily in various casinos.

"Neither Jiraiya nor Tsunade wanted to be Hokage, so we can't let Danzo become Hokage. Shouldn't we consider our fourth disciple?"

After leaving the hospital, on his way back to his residence, Li Chuan thought to himself.

He definitely wants to get the position of Fifth Hokage.

Because once he becomes Hokage, he will have complete control over all the ninjutsu in Konoha.

Moreover, with Konoha as a springboard, they can then seek to conquer other ninja villages and eventually establish a unified government, making full use of all the potential value of this world.

In the evening, in the courtyard of the Sarutobi clan next to the Hokage Building.

Li Chuan took out the Mangekyou Sharingan that he had obtained from Uchiha Itachi.

Tonight, he's going to have this Mangekyou Sharingan transplanted into him.

"Sizzle!"

A few drops of blood spurted from his left eye socket, and Li Chuan easily removed his left eye.

Because of his body's extraordinary healing ability, his left eye was about to grow a new one immediately after it was removed, but fortunately he was able to control it in time.

The Mangekyou Sharingan was placed into the empty left eye socket, and the chakra was controlled to connect with the eyeball. The Mangekyou Sharingan quickly connected with the nerves in his eye socket, and the transplant was completed.

Under normal circumstances, the Mangekyou Sharingan, due to its powerful ocular power, is a great burden for the user.

Therefore, most Uchiha clan ninjas are not known for their chakra reserves; they prioritize using most of their chakra for their Sharingan.

If a non-Uchiha clan member were to receive a Sharingan transplant, the burden would be even more severe.

Kakashi is a case in point. Because he transplanted Obito's Sharingan, most of the chakra in his body was used up by the Sharingan, which resulted in him always running out of chakra.

However, this drawback is almost negligible for Li Chuan.

This is mainly because his physical constitution is too strong, and his chakra reserves are frighteningly high. Even the Sharingan, or the Mangekyou Sharingan, is not a burden for him.

The only thing to worry about is that using it too much might cause blindness, since it's not a permanent Mangekyou Sharingan.

There's no way to deal with that.

If he is an Uchiha and awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan on his own, then even if it's not an eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he wouldn't go blind given his body's self-healing abilities.

Just like Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan, which he used frequently, he didn't go blind because his body had Hashirama's cells transplanted into him.

However, because he transplanted Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan, which is not his own eye, his self-healing ability was ineffective.

Of course, this is just a minor issue. It can be resolved once Itachi unlocks his left eye to the Mangekyou Sharingan again, or once Sasuke unlocks his.

The transplant was successful, and the chakra connection was completed. With a thought, his left eye immediately transformed into a three-tomoe Sharingan, and with another thought, it transformed into a Mangekyou Sharingan.

"After getting used to it for a while, I should be able to try using Tsukuyomi and Susanoo."
