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

Chapter 318 A Miraculous Resurrection (Second Update)

"Although you have passed away, I, as the Third Hokage, hereby formally declare that you, my disciple, the hero who saved Konoha, are the Fifth Hokage!"

Your face will be etched on the Hokage Rock, forever remembered by all future Konoha ninja.

The Third Hokage slowly turned around, holding Li Chuan's body, and then solemnly announced to all the ninjas.

"A tribute to the Fifth Hokage!"

"A tribute to the Fifth Hokage!"

"A tribute to the Fifth Hokage!"

One by one, the Konoha ninjas bowed deeply before Li Chuan in the Third Hokage's hands.

Clearly, everyone agreed with the third generation's decision.

"Looks like it's really all set now!"

Li Chuan sensed everything happening outside with his primordial spirit, and he was overjoyed.

Death is definitely out of the question.

The so-called bleeding from all seven orifices and spitting blood, as well as the subsequent breathing that stopped his heartbeat, were all atmospheric effects he created to prepare for his later competition for Hokage.

With his physique, activating the Reincarnation Technique in Sage Mode would only revive someone who has just died, without much side effect; at most, the body would be somewhat weak.

He had just used the technique of fetal breathing, turning external breathing into internal breathing, and then suppressing his heartbeat to mimic the signs of death.

However, to his surprise, the Third Hokage immediately announced that he would succeed the Fifth Hokage, which saved him the trouble of waiting for the results.

It's estimated that the decision was made by the third generation after seeing how much he had contributed even after his death.

Anyway, it's just carving another portrait on the Hokage Rock, it doesn't take much effort, and later the Hokage selection was changed from the Fifth Hokage selection to the Sixth Hokage selection, so it didn't have much impact.

Moreover, this move can win people's hearts even more.

If he hadn't faked his death, even if he had resurrected everyone, it probably wouldn't have been so easy for the Third Generation to directly choose him as the Fifth Generation.

It can only be said that probably no one expected that Li Chuan would fake his death.

"In that case, we can be resurrected ahead of schedule."

Since the Third Hokage has already decided on his identity as the Fifth Hokage and everyone has accepted it, there's no need for him to be resurrected just before his burial to make a dramatic impact.

"Yugadimurleviosa".

Li Chuan silently recited a levitation spell, and his body slowly rose from the Third Hokage's hand and ascended into the sky.

This strange phenomenon startled everyone in Konoha who were grieving.

"Protect the Gods."

As he rose into the air, he silently recited the guardian incantation once more, and a divine dragon radiating white light instantly appeared, circling around Li Chuan in mid-air.

"Dark clouds are gathering, and a light rain is falling."

He then cast a weather spell, and dark clouds instantly filled the sky above Konoha, and a light rain began to fall.

"Signal lightning!"

A deafening roar resounded, and bolts of lightning, under Li Chuan's incantation, continuously shot out from the dark clouds and struck his own body.

"The sky is clear and the clouds are colorful."

After slashing himself, Li Chuan immediately cast a weather spell to disperse the dark clouds, causing beautiful colorful clouds to appear in the sky.

He descended slowly from the sky as if a god had descended to earth, and then slowly opened his eyes.

This move completely stunned everyone below. They all had the same look of surprise, their mouths agape as if they could fit a duck egg inside.

After all, Li Chuan had shown them far too much in such a short time, and their minds hadn't had time to process and understand it.

In the end, it was the third generation who reacted first, looking at Li Chuan with a face full of surprise:

"What just happened? Are you fully recovered?"

Li Chuan pretended to be confused for a moment before slowly replying:

"I don't know what happened. Just now, I felt my soul falling downwards, as if I was about to enter the underworld."

Suddenly a figure grabbed me and then pushed me up.

He said I was the chosen one, and now was not the time for me to die. He told me to live well, end all the conflicts in the world, and bring peace to humanity.

Then I woke up.

Upon hearing Li Chuan's answer, the Third Generation, Shikaku, and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

To be honest, rationally speaking, they found it hard to believe what Li Chuan said, but the facts were undeniable: Li Chuan had indeed come back to life.

Furthermore, they didn't believe that Li Chuan, the superhero who had just saved Konoha, would deliberately deceive them.

"Oh, right, I feel great right now, and I've also learned a lot of new ninjutsu, which should be a great help in rebuilding the village."

Li Chuan didn't give the Third Generation and the others time to think, and directly used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to instantly create two thousand shadow clones.

These shadow clones teleported to various parts of Konoha and began to cast a unified repair spell.

Under the effect of the repair spell, Konoha, which had been reduced to ruins by Pain's Super Shinra Tensei, began to be repaired at a visible speed.

In less than ten minutes, the Hidden Leaf Village, once known as the most prosperous and powerful, reappeared before everyone.

If it weren't for their tattered clothes and depleted chakra, everyone would have thought that the great battle that nearly destroyed Konoha was just a dream.

"The Five Dynasties!"

"The Five Dynasties!"

"The Five Dynasties!"

Seeing their home restored to its original state, and remembering Li Chuan's sacrifice in saving everyone, the Konoha ninjas began to excitedly shout loudly at Li Chuan.

Their eyes were filled with respect and admiration.

"The Five Dynasties?"

Li Chuan pretended to be completely bewildered.

Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan, stepped forward and smiled:

"Lord Chuan, you have just been officially appointed as the Fifth Hokage by the Third Hokage, and we have all expressed our agreement and recognition of this appointment."

So now, you are the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.

Li Chuan turned to look at the Third Generation with a face full of surprise:

"Teacher, is this really true?"

The three men's expressions stiffened for a moment, then they quickly adjusted and smiled.

"Yes, from today onwards, you are the Fifth Hokage. We will hold a formal Hokage succession ceremony later, and the Daimyo can come and verify it."

He desperately wants to overturn the decision, but it's clearly impossible now that things have come to this point.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Li Chuan, although not his best choice, seemed to be a good one.

At least Li Chuan is nominally his disciple, and he has proven his strength and loyalty to Konoha after the recent battle.

Perhaps, making Li Chuan the Fifth Hokage would lead to a better future for Konoha.

So in the end, he felt at peace.

"Teacher, please rest assured, I will definitely become a qualified Hokage and carry forward the Will of Fire!"

Li Chuan, dressed in a Western style, excitedly assured them.
