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

Chapter 413 The Movie King Ascends the Throne (Second Update)

"Maybe he never intended to kill us in the first place."

After everything settled down, the Kage looked at Nagato, who was standing there controlling ninjutsu to release all the captured ninjas, and suddenly a sense of understanding dawned on them.

From initiating the Fourth Shinobi World War to occupying those ninja villages, the fact that they all captured the ninja alive without killing them is abnormal.

After witnessing the battle between Nagato and Li Chuan, they realized that even if they disagreed with Nagato's conditions at the beginning, and after the battle with White Zetsu, the remaining 20% ​​of them seemed to be unable to help at all.

Because a casual strike from Nagato and Li Chuan could potentially kill the 20% of survivors.

Nagato did that perhaps simply to avoid internal strife.

Perhaps Nagato's original goal was to get everyone to abandon the boundaries between countries and villages, and then establish a peaceful and unified world.

Of course, if they don't agree to the final conditions, they might just destroy the world as well.

"It seems you've also realized that he's not a bad person."

At this moment, Li Chuan also walked up to the group of shadows.

"I intend to appoint Nagato as the Regent of the Empire, to keep an eye on me and everyone else. I hope we can work together to create a truly peaceful and beautiful world!"

"We agree."

After a brief moment's thought, the shadows nodded in agreement.

Although they all trusted Li Chuan's character, he was, after all, the former Hokage of Konoha, and it was inevitable that he would show some bias. Having Nagato as supervisor might not be a bad decision.

Upon hearing this, Li Chuan's lips curled up slightly.

The idea of ​​supervising oneself is utter nonsense; Nagato was originally his man, so how could he be supervised?

He was merely using this as a pretext to hand over the affairs of the empire to Nagato, and they only heard the first part of the sentence, forgetting that the second part was about supervising them.

If these shadows make any trouble after the empire is successfully established, Nagato will not show any mercy.

Once the empire is stable, the various villages will have to be integrated, and the concept of villages will have to be completely abandoned. This is no simple matter.

There will be many more conflicts later on, and sometimes when he can't bring himself to be ruthless, he can leave it to Nagato to resolve.

He wanted to get the Ninja Empire into a stable development phase as quickly as possible so that he could leave with peace of mind, like the Wizard Empire, where he could only show up every few months to collect newly developed ninjutsu.

When it came to developing ninjutsu, he suddenly thought of someone.

"Orochimaru, it seems I need to find a time to take this guy down."

The combined ninjas of all the villages numbered around 100,000, and with the addition of nearly 100,000 White Zetsu, the ninja empire's basic force of 200,000 was complete.

The next step was to settle accounts with the daimyo of various countries, determine the location of the capital, and handle various other matters.

The problem with the Daimyo is not significant. Like the major Kage, they have no choice but to face unification or annihilation. Moreover, with the Kage Capital's consent, they have no way to disagree.

And so, after a busy month, Li Chuan ascended the throne as emperor in the new capital, the most prosperous and wealthy capital of the Fire Kingdom.

The Ninja Empire was officially established.

The timeline has been changed to the first year of the Empire.

Because Li Chuan was previously the Hokage, and Kage is an honorific title for the leader of this world, at the suggestion of the officials, Li Chuan was honored as the "King of Shadows".

Li Chuan was speechless but didn't object; it was just a title, not important.

Moreover, as the protagonist of this grand drama, calling him an award-winning actor seems quite fitting.

The first thing he did after ascending the throne was...

It means establishing the Empire's First Library to collect all the ninjutsu that have ever existed in the ninja world.

This is one of the most important reasons why he established the Ninja Empire. By using multiple shadow clones to cheat, he can easily master all kinds of ninjutsu from various ninja villages in the future.

The second thing is to build a large number of ninja schools. If we want to develop, education is the foundation. Only by cultivating more excellent ninjas can we create more excellent ninjutsu.

The third thing was that Li Chuan sent Nagato to capture Orochimaru.

Actually, sending Nagato would be a waste of Orochimaru's talent, given his strength, but Orochimaru was an expert in the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

If we bring out those dead shadows and masters from various periods, it will be something that ordinary people really can't handle.

Although Orochimaru was probably not that powerful at this time, his appearance and influence created many butterfly effects, and who knows what Orochimaru has become now.

As expected, he was right. Because of his actions, the Third Hokage did not use the Reaper Death Seal to seal Orochimaru's hands, and Orochimaru failed to deceive Sasuke.

So in the past two years, he has worked hard to study the Impure World Reincarnation and learned Sage Mode at Ryuchi Cave, greatly increasing his strength and embarking on the same path as Kabuto in the original story.

Jiraiya, who went with Nagato, was no match for the many powerful warriors resurrected by Orochimaru through Edo Tensei. It was only through Nagato's Six Paths Mode that they were able to sweep through and capture Orochimaru.

It was precisely because of this overwhelming power that Orochimaru realized he was on the wrong path, thus changing his mind and agreeing to join the Empire, becoming the Empire's chief researcher along with Kabuto Yakushi.

After completing the three tasks, Li Chuan sent out a shadow clone to attend court every day to handle various government affairs. In reality, it was the senior members who were good at management who were handling these matters. His shadow clone was just there to make a show of things and didn't really take charge.

In addition, the other shadow clones immersed themselves day and night in the Imperial Library, learning various ninjutsu.

His true form, however, involves daily arduous cultivation and the attainment of the seventh sense using a spirit energy converter.

He returned to the main world twice, both times to make an appearance in the Wizarding Empire, and then immediately returned.

It took him almost a year to complete the small world in his hands.

That day, he walked stealthily through the streets of the newly expanded capital, which had been expanded four or five times larger. Looking at the dazzling array of shops and the smiling faces of the people, he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

Although his main purpose in doing these things was to improve his own strength, it also seemed nice that he could help his friends and ordinary people in this world live peaceful and happy lives.

Along the way, he saw Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru reunited for tea and conversation, Itachi and Sasuke who had reconciled, Neji and Tenten walking together, Naruto and Hinata, and so on.

The ninjas who would have died in the original storyline have all survived and will get married and have children in the future, living happily ever after.

"It's about time to head back and finish the main quest!"

After touring the capital, Li Chuan found Nagato and had him impersonate him using White Zetsu to continue attending court every day. This broke the time anchor of this world, allowing him to return to the main world.

Nagato has always handled the affairs of the empire. He used to use shadow clones to attend court sessions, and now he can do the same by using White Zetsu in disguise.

After a year in Hokage, he felt that he was not far from realizing the Seventh Sense or breaking through from the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul stage.

He believed that the Seventh Sense needed a thrilling battle to aid him, which would greatly increase his chances of enlightenment. Saint Seiya's Cosmo is usually broken through in battle.

This is exactly what the main questline can do.

As for breaking through from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage, to be honest, I have already accumulated enough true essence. What I lack is just a little bit of comprehension. It might take a few days if I'm quick, but it might take several years if I'm slow.

As for the final fruit of the Divine Tree, we'll have to wait another two years.

Two years later, the Three-Tails will be able to revive. Only when the Ten-Tails completely absorbs the Three-Tails can it be considered a truly complete Ten-Tails. Only such a Ten-Tails can transform into a divine tree that can bear fruit by eating a large tsutsuki tree.

Similarly, he also needed to send people to secretly locate the position of Otsutsuki Isshiki, who was feeding the Divine Tree.

Two years later, the Three-Tails will be resurrected, transforming Isshiki Otsutsuki into the Ten-Tails and turning him into a divine tree. It will then absorb Igor's energy, bear fruit, and eat it, allowing its strength to advance by another significant step.

Two years is not a long time. He has already shut down the time anchor of this world. Whether you go to the main world or other small worlds, the time in this world will flow in sync.

After returning to the main world, Li Chuan resumed his cultivation and life as usual.

Because there are still twenty days until the main quest begins.
