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

Chapter 308 Another Instant Kill (Third Update)

"Hong, if you survive this time, marry me!"

Inside the giant water sphere, Asuma, panting heavily, desperately killed the bloodthirsty sharks with his sharp Wind Release chakra blades while proposing to Shanks.

He feared that if he didn't ask now, he would miss his chance.

At this moment, Kurenai, whose hand was injured and unable to form hand seals when Kisame launched his attack, heard Asuma's words and struggled to raise her left hand with a kunai, replying:

"I'm afraid we can only get married in the underworld."

"I knew there was something wrong with you two. You wouldn't admit it when I asked you last time."

Anko Mitarashi, standing nearby, used her last chakra to unleash the Hidden Shadow Snake Hand technique, killing several sharks that attacked her, and also pulled out a kunai from her pocket.

"Let's all go to our deaths!"

Seeing that the shark had almost exhausted the three's chakra, Kisame activated his fastest speed, transforming into a sharp arrow in the water and attacking the three.

This time, the three of them were no longer able to withstand Kisame's fierce attacks after he transformed into a mermaid.

"Get out of my way!"

Just when the three thought they were doomed, two figures suddenly appeared in front of them. One of them kicked Kisame directly in the face, sending him flying like a cannonball.

It was Li Chuan who, carrying the unconscious Deidara, Phantom Teleported to the front of the three of them.

"Sichuan!"

Upon seeing Li Chuan appear, the despair in Asuma and the other two's eyes immediately turned into hope.

Because they knew that Li Chuan had defeated Kisame a month ago.

"It's you again! You succeeded in your sneak attack last time, but this time I'll avenge myself!"

When Kisame saw Li Chuan appear, a look of fear appeared on his face, but then he remembered the humiliation he suffered last time and his anger flared up again.

However, Li Chuan ignored him and simply said to Asma and the other two behind him:

"Put your hands on my shoulders, I'll lead you out first!"

Upon hearing this, Asuma and the other two immediately extended one hand each.

"Apparition!"

Li Chuan and the three of them vanished instantly, reappearing outside the giant water sphere.

"You like turning into a fish, huh? Then I'll turn you into an electric grilled fish!"

At this moment, the giant water sphere was surrounded by hundreds of Li Chuan's shadow clones. Upon seeing Li Chuan appear with three others, these shadow clones immediately formed hand seals and unleashed a high-level Lightning Release ninjutsu at the giant water sphere:

"Lightning Release: 1800 Pillar Binding Technique!"

Under the combined ninjutsu of Li Chuan's shadow clones, 1,800 long stone pillars suddenly rose from the ground, completely surrounding the giant water sphere created by Kisame.

In the end, it turned into a huge stone cage.

Then, as if each stone pillar had been electrified, it burst forth with astonishing lightning, launching a continuous lightning attack on the water sphere in the center of the stone pillar.

Although Lightning Release does not counter Water Release in this world, it still adheres to the most basic physical law, namely, electrical conductivity.

So the result was predictable: all the sharks inside the water sphere were instantly electrocuted and turned into air, while Kisame, who had become one with Samehada, was also forcibly separated from Samehada by the terrifying lightning attack and then knocked unconscious.

Kisame lost consciousness, the water sphere dissolved into air, and Li Chuan also released his lightning attack.

He defeated Kisame in one blow last time because he opened the Eight Gates directly. Now that he's in Konoha, he naturally can't open the Eight Gates in front of Asuma and the others, since he hasn't learned the Eight Gates Formation.

While his physical body in Sage Mode could defeat Kisame in his human-mermaid fusion state, he couldn't deliver a clean and decisive blow.

So he recalled all the shadow clones who had completed their mission to rescue civilians, and together they used a combined lightning and earth ninjutsu they had learned from the Third Hokage: Lightning Release: Four Pillars Binding Technique.

Yes, this ninjutsu was originally called Lightning Release: Four Pillars Binding Technique, a powerful ninjutsu that combines Lightning Release and Earth Release.

It can only be released by a ninja who possesses at least two chakra natures: Lightning Release and Earth Release, or by two ninjas who combine their Earth Release and Lightning Release abilities.

Normally, four pillars would rise up to surround the enemy before unleashing a lightning strike to damage them.

If paired with a skilled Jonin, it can be upgraded to Lightning Release: Sixteen Pillars Binding Technique, which seals off a larger area, making escape more difficult, and also deals more damage with the Lightning Release technique.

When this technique came into Li Chuan's hands, after his shadow clones continuously practiced it and combined it with the powerful chakra of his main body, it was normally used as the Lightning Release: Thirty-Two Pillars Technique.

If used in Sage Mode, it becomes Lightning Release: 108 Pillars Technique.

If Sage Mode is used in conjunction with a large number of shadow clones, like it is now, it can evolve into the terrifying Lightning Release: 1800 Pillars Technique.

Seeing Kisame, who had been knocked unconscious by Li Chuan's electric shock and whose body was still twitching instinctively, Asuma and the other two couldn't help but widen their eyes in disbelief.

They knew Li Chuan was powerful, but they didn't expect him to be this powerful. He defeated the mighty Kisame with just one ninjutsu technique, a technique they all recognized.

That lightning release technique, which was enhanced to an abnormal level, was truly terrifying!

"You all stay here and recover your chakra, I'm going to rescue the others!"

After quickly healing the three's external injuries with magic, Li Chuan stepped forward, put away Samehada, grabbed Deidara in one hand and Kisame in the other, and, along with the remaining shadow clones, Apparated directly towards the Hyuga clan's base.

Asma watched Li Chuan disappear, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Actually, I think choosing him as the Fifth Hokage would be a reassuring thing."

Asuma was once one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja and a bodyguard for the Daimyo. Unlike the Konoha high-ranking officials, he didn't have any prejudice against Li Chuan. After experiencing all that had just happened, he genuinely felt that Li Chuan would be a very reliable candidate for Hokage.

Young, composed, incredibly strong, and possesses powerful medical ninjutsu abilities.

Upon hearing this, Kurenai and Mitarashi Anko nodded in agreement. Without Li Chuan, they would be dead by now.

Meanwhile, when Li Chuan teleported to the Hyuga base with his shadow clones, the battle there was also a one-sided crushing defeat.

Even with other ninjas from the vicinity coming to their aid, thanks to the power of the Byakugan and under the leadership of the Hyuga clan leader Hiashi, they only managed to shatter Sasori's outermost puppet, Hiruko.

But when Sasori revealed his puppet form, which resembled a young boy, and released the Third Kazekage puppet with Magnet Release abilities, it was essentially a one-sided massacre.

It should be noted that when Scorpion unleashes his full power, he is capable of single-handedly slaughtering an entire small country.

At the age of fifteen, he successfully assassinated the strongest Third Kazekage, whose parents had both died in battle due to his poor command on the battlefield. He then turned the Third Kazekage into a human puppet, making him even stronger.

After joining Akatsuki, he used the Third Kazekage puppet to massacre a small country and created hundreds of new ninja puppets.

Sasori's strength is such that without a Kage-level or higher expert, he cannot be defeated by sheer numbers.
