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

"Have you found the real Payne? Your eyes!"

The Third Hokage looked at Li Chuan's left eye, which had the same Rinnegan as Pain's Six Paths, and his face showed a look of surprise.

Li Chuan touched his left eye, a hint of regret in his eyes:

"Found him, but unfortunately he had a companion who knew space-time ninjutsu, so they managed to escape in the end."

However, I took one of his eyes. According to the information I extracted from him, it belonged to the Sage of Six Paths. With this eye of the Sage of Six Paths, perhaps I can resurrect everyone who has died.

"resurrection!"

Upon hearing Li Chuan's words, the Third Hokage and all the surviving ninjas of Konoha were momentarily stunned.

Is this true?

The dead being brought back to life is such an incredible thing. Even in this world with its magical ninjutsu, there has never been a case of the dead being resurrected.

The closest ninjutsu to the ability of resurrection is the Impure World Reincarnation technique researched by the Second Hokage, which merely summons the souls of the dead from the underworld back to the real world.

"I'm not sure either. I can only say I'll give it a try. But according to Pain, even with the Sage of Six Paths' eye, it can only revive those who have just died, and the price is the caster's life."

Li Chuan recounted it casually.

"this"

Upon hearing that the caster's life would be required, everyone fell silent.

Because at that moment, they didn't know what to say.

If Li Chuan's life could be exchanged for the lives of all those who died in Konoha, they would naturally be willing.

Even the kindest people have a selfish side. Among those who died this time were their family, friends, teachers, and all their loved ones.

As long as Li Chuan sacrifices his life, those who have died can be resurrected, and Konoha will still be Konoha.

But how could they say such a thing? Li Chuan had saved all of their lives. Many of them had survived the last Orochimaru invasion thanks to Li Chuan's superb medical ninjutsu.

If Li Chuan hadn't single-handedly defeated all the Akatsuki invaders and dealt with the Six Paths of Pain, the entire Hidden Leaf Village and all of them would have been dead.

This includes their children in the shelter and ordinary villagers.

Now they want Li Chuan to sacrifice his life to save those who have died. To put it bluntly, they are worse than animals.

Therefore, they could neither persuade Li Chuan not to sacrifice his life for this, nor could they urge him to die a heroic death; they could only remain silent.

"Kawa, give me that eye so I can activate this technique. You've already contributed enough to Konoha; this is my responsibility as Hokage, not yours!"

At this moment, the third generation spoke.

To be honest, if he still harbored resentment towards Li Chuan before, it was because of Li Chuan's status as a prince of the Land of Fire and because Danzo helped Li Chuan secure the position of Hokage candidate.

Now, all those grudges have completely disappeared. Because of Li Chuan's contributions to Konoha, he now regards Li Chuan as a Konoha ninja.

Rather than letting such an excellent ninja as Li Chuan sacrifice himself, it would be better to let this old man, who won't live for many more years, sacrifice himself. This is what he should do as Hokage.

From the perspective of Konoha's overall interests, Li Chuan's strength makes him more valuable alive than the Third Hokage.

Whether Jiraiya or Tsunade becomes Hokage in the future, with Li Chuan's assistance, Konoha can definitely continue to maintain its position as the number one hidden village.

However, Li Chuan directly rejected the third generation's proposal.

"No, according to Pain, to revive everyone, we need to pay the King of Hell an extremely large amount of chakra and powerful life force as a price."

"Teacher, given your current physical condition, even if you could perform this spell, you could only revive a few people at most, not everyone."

Just kidding, how could he possibly let the third generation handle this? Otherwise, the effect he's achieved now would be greatly diminished.

"When I was a child, I first heard about Konoha in the yard and heard stories about the Konoha ninjas. I dreamed of becoming a powerful ninja and the Hokage of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire."

Unfortunately, this wish can never be fulfilled.

But the Will of Fire will never be lost. Farewell, my friends!

After Li Chuan finished speaking, he formed the Si Mudra with his hands, unleashing the full power of his Rinnegan:

"The Art of Reincarnation and Heavenly Life!"

Suddenly, a colossal statue of Yama was summoned by the power of the Rinnegan. Then, the statue slowly opened its enormous mouth, and countless souls that had died in the battle flew out from it.

Some of them flew onto the corpses that the Konoha ninja had found after clearing the ruins, and the corpses instantly came back to life and were completely healed of all their injuries.

Some corpses that had been completely destroyed slowly developed physical bodies based on their souls.

As Li Chuan continued to maintain the Si Seal and output his eye power, all the dead Konoha ninjas were resurrected one by one. At the same time, blood began to flow from Li Chuan's seven orifices, and his face became paler and paler.

"They've really come back to life!"

Seeing their relatives and friends come back to life, everyone's faces lit up with surprise. But when they saw Li Chuan's appearance, their surprise instantly turned into shame and sadness.

Upon seeing that all those who had died in the battle had been resurrected, Li Chuan stopped forming hand seals and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Kawa-sama!"

Upon seeing this, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Those who had been resurrected also gathered around.

"Teacher, where leaves dance in the air, fire will never be extinguished!"

Li Chuan uttered his last words with a smile, then closed his eyes and collapsed to the ground.

"Medical team! Medical team ninjas, come quick!"

The third generation hugged Li Chuan tightly and shouted anxiously.

Upon hearing this, the director of Konoha Hospital, a middle-aged female Jonin with the best medical ninjutsu, quickly squeezed in.

She was killed by Pain's Super Shinra Tensei while healing ninjas, and was just revived by Li Chuan's Rinne Rebirth Technique.

"No heartbeat or breathing, the Sichuan University student...is dead!"

After examining him, the female dean shook her head and announced Li Chuan's death in a sorrowful tone.

Upon hearing the diagnosis, all the ninjas, including the Third Hokage, fell into a deathly silence once again, and many even had tears in their eyes.

Li Chuan defeated the enemy, saved Konoha, and resurrected all those who had been killed, but at the cost of his own life.

At this moment, in everyone's hearts, Li Chuan's status was elevated to an unprecedented level.

"Thank you, Professor Chuan, for your contributions to Konoha. You are a hero of Konoha, and we will never forget you!"

The Konoha ninjas looked solemnly at Li Chuan's "corpse".
