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

Chapter 405 The Final Battle (Second Update)

"Eight Trigrams Seal!"

After forcibly pulling the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails back from their Tailed Beast forms to their Jinchuriki forms, Li Chuan returned to normal. He then used the Eight Trigrams Seal to temporarily seal the connection between the two and the Tailed Beasts within their bodies, causing them to fall unconscious.

At that moment, Jiraiya arrived with all the Konoha ninja from the First Division.

"The Five Dynasties period, what's going on here?"

"Oh, Jiraiya-senpai, you've come at the right time. We've temporarily stripped all the Cloud Ninja of their five senses, rendering them incapable of fighting. Please arrange for everyone to tie them up and then take them back to Konoha together."

Li Chuan smiled and said to Zilai.

"Strip away the five senses!"

Jiraiya and the other ninjas stared wide-eyed at the densely packed, fallen Cloud Ninja army.

Although they didn't know what kind of ninjutsu it was, they were certain that it was extremely powerful; otherwise, it would have been impossible to wipe out the entire Cloud Ninja army in such a short time.

"Sigh, I originally wanted to persuade the Fourth Raikage to withdraw his troops, and then our two villages could maintain peace and not invade each other."

Who knew this guy would insist on lecturing me about the law of the jungle? Well, I guess I'll just have to let them experience what the real jungle is like.

Li Chuan patted the dust off his hands:

"However, I think it's better not to let hatred continue, so I didn't kill them."

"Let's keep him in Konoha for now. We'll see what to do after this is over."

"That would be the best way."

Jiraiya nodded, agreeing with Li Chuan's philosophy. He hated war and would be happy if it could end without any deaths.

Only now did he realize that this was exactly how Li Chuan won people over with virtue.

The following day, led by Li Chuan, the First Force of Konoha escorted all the Cloud Ninja, including the Raikage, through the gates of Konoha Village and returned to the village.

They were greeted by all the high-ranking officials of Konoha and all the Konoha villagers who cheered enthusiastically.

They were happy not only because they had defeated the Cloud Ninja, but more importantly because their parents, brothers, and sisters had all returned safely alive.

Actually, Li Chuan could have teleported back immediately after dealing with the Cloud Ninja yesterday.

However, he didn't, because he needed to extract some of the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails' chakra to send to Nagato, and also to buy some time while waiting for Nagato's results.

On the very day he dealt with the Cloud Ninja, Nagato led the remaining 80,000 White Zetsu in a general offensive against Iwagakure.

In order to defeat the Iwa ninja more easily and to prepare for the final battle later.

The revival of the Ten-Tails is definitely necessary.

Otherwise, even if Nagato and the Akatsuki members are very strong now, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki and those Iwa ninja are not to be underestimated. It would be difficult to win without fighting for ten days to half a month, and many White Zetsu would be sacrificed.

To fully revive the Ten-Tails, the Gedo Mazo (the Nine-Tails' shell) is needed to absorb the nine tailed beasts and finally fuse them to become the Divine Tree.

However, if you only want to use the power of the Ten-Tails to fight, you don't actually need to absorb all the tailed beasts. You only need to collect some of the tailed beasts and their chakra.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Obito's incomplete first form of the Ten-Tails only absorbed the One to Seven Tails, and then incorporated some of the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails' chakra.

Gaara, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast, had already had the tailed beast extracted from his body by Nagato when he defeated the Sand Ninja.

The Two-Tailed Beast sent over most of the extracted chakra to Rikawa.

It will take more than two years for the Three-Tails to revive, but it can be replaced by extracting some of Samehada's chakra, since Samehada underwent its mutation after absorbing the Three-Tails' chakra.

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, fled Iwagakure and was wandering around. He was captured and had his tailed beast extracted before the Fourth Shinobi World War began.

Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, was the Jonin who initially led the Iwagakure forces in their attack on Amegakure. He was defeated by Nagato and Itachi, who extracted the Tailed Beast.

The six Jinchūriki, Uta, defected from Kirigakure during the Blood Mist Policy period and were captured by members of Akatsuki under Nagato's command before the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Kaede, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, was a ninja from Takigakure, and Takigakure was the small country that Amegakure initially occupied.

Eight-Tails Lee Chuan sent away most of the extracted chakra.

Nine-Tails Li Chuan possesses the Nine-Tails chakra extracted from Sora.

With this, the chakra of all nine tailed beasts was gathered, and Nagato could temporarily revive the Ten-Tails to fight against Iwagakure.

Evening, Konoha Building conference hall.

After properly arranging for the Raikage, the two Cloud Ninja Jinchuriki, and the 15,000 Cloud Ninja prisoners, all the high-ranking officials of Konoha gathered here for a meeting.

Sitting at the very top is the Fifth Hokage, Li Chuan.

To his lower left sat a group of Konoha high-ranking officials, including the Third Hokage, Danzo, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado.

Seated in the lower right corner are Jiraiya, Shikaku, Kakashi, and other elite Konoha Jonin, as well as the heads of various clans.

"Now that Kirigakure and Kumogakure have been basically all imprisoned as prisoners, we no longer need to worry about their threat. Next, we will discuss our attitude towards the war between the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth."

"While I was dealing with the Cloud Ninja, Master, what stage did the war between the Rain Ninja and the Iwa Ninja reach? Was there any important intelligence?"

Li Chuan first gave a brief overview of the theme of this operational meeting, then pretended not to know and looked at the Third Generation.

The third generation replied with some concern:

"Fifth Hokage, although Konoha has relied on your strength to resolve the two major troubles, the Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village, I still have to say that the situation ahead is probably not very optimistic for Konoha."

"Teacher, what do you mean by that?"

Before Li Chuan could ask, Jiraiya spoke first, and the Jonin who had just returned from the battlefield were also full of doubt.

The Fifth Hokage was so powerful that he single-handedly wiped out Kirigakure and Kumogakure, and defeated two of the five great ninja villages.

Now only Amegakure, which initiated the Fourth Shinobi World War, and Iwagakure, whose strength is at most comparable to Kumogakure, remain. Moreover, the two sides are still fighting. Why is the situation not optimistic?

Even if both sides attack Konoha together, with the Fifth Hokage there, they can't possibly lose.

The third generation looked at everyone, and then began to explain:

"We had spies in the battle between Amegakure and Iwagakure to monitor and transmit intelligence back. Originally, the two sides appeared to be of similar strength."

Amegakure had a limited number of ninjas. After conquering Sunagakure, it had less than 5,000 ninjas left, far fewer than Iwagakure's more than 10,000.

They were only able to hold their own against Iwagakure because they had members from Akatsuki and many skilled fighters.

But just yesterday, the number of Amegakure ninjas suddenly surged to 95,000, and they deployed a very powerful monster who defeated and occupied Iwagakure in less than an hour.

Even worse news is that this morning, Nagato, the joint leader of Amegakure and Akatsuki, officially declared war on Konoha!
