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

Chapter 48 Zabuza's Return Gift

As it turns out, in the world of Naruto, the strength of a force has little to do with the number of ninjas it possesses; a truly powerful ninja can destroy a country single-handedly.

Hoping to adopt a large number of orphans in the Land of Waves and train them into a ninja army is wishful thinking. If even one Jonin emerges after a few years, that would be considered good luck.

Instead of wasting time, they should focus on improving themselves and recruiting more true geniuses from the ninja world, like Zabuza and Haku, into the organization.

Li Chuan was very clear that his main purpose in coming to the small world was to improve his strength. Everything he did was based on this premise. If he put the cart before the horse, then there would be no point in doing anything.

Because when leaving the small world, you can't take anything with you except your own strength.

After lunch, I went with Sakura to the bridge to protect Tazuna again in the afternoon. As evening approached, a large ship with the character "川" (river) on its sail gradually appeared on the misty sea.

"Wow, what a huge ship!"

Sakura pointed at the approaching ship and exclaimed in surprise.

For Sakura, who had always lived in the village and was venturing out for the first time, this was the first time she had ever seen such a large ship.

"Oh, it seems my friend has arrived!"

Li Chuan looked at the flag on the ship and immediately confirmed that Song Chuan had brought his men as planned.

The large ship docked, and a middle-aged man, accompanied by more than forty strong men carrying various construction tools, came to Li Chuan.

"Sir, the people have been brought."

"Alright, then let them do as Mr. Tazner instructs!"

Li Chuan nodded, then smiled at Tazna behind him:

"Mr. Tazuna, this is my friend Matsukawa. You two can talk about what's going on. I'm not familiar with the situation regarding bridge construction and trade."

After introducing Matsukawa to Tazuna, Li Chuan stopped interfering in their subsequent conversation.

At this moment, Sakura came up and asked in a low voice, somewhat puzzled:

"Brother Chuan, why do I feel like your friend Mr. Matsukawa seems to have a lot of respect for you?"

If it were Naruto or Sasuke, they probably wouldn't care about these minor details; they would only care about powerful ninjas. But Sakura is a very thoughtful person.

Based on Songchuan's attitude towards Li Chuan, she clearly realized that it didn't seem to be the kind of attitude that friends would have.

"Well, he respects me quite a bit, probably because I lent him the money he used to do business back then."

Li Chuan smiled and didn't offer any further explanation.

When Xiaoying heard Li Chuan say that, she thought it made sense, so she didn't ask any more questions.

She didn't mean any harm; she was just simply curious.

With the help of the professional construction workers brought by Matsukawa, the bridge construction speed was significantly faster. According to the calculations of the bridge-building master, Tazuna, it was estimated that the bridge could be completed in less than a month.

That evening, Li Chuan did not return with Xiaoying and Tazuna, but stayed on the large ship on the shore to protect the safety of Matsukawa and the others.

At Tazuna's house, many things were inconvenient for him because Kakashi was there.

"We meet again, Mr. Zabuza and Haku!"

Inside the cabin of the large ship, Li Chuan greeted Zabuza and Haku, who were resting.

"Hello, Mr. Chuan."

Haku greeted Li Chuan very politely, while Zabuza snorted coldly.

"When will you kill Kado?"

"Wait a little longer, let Gato get restless and bring his men to attack. It would be best if Kakashi and the others could kill him. If not, then you can take action and eliminate him."

Li Chuan sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

As one of the world's top billionaires, Gato, though an ordinary person, is not someone who can be killed at will. He worried that Kakashi might choose to let Gato go for fear of impacting Konoha.

In that case, only the rogue ninja Zabuza will be able to kill him.

"No problem, these two things are for you."

Zabuza nodded and took out the two scrolls and placed them on the table.

Li Chuan picked them up, opened them one by one, and looked at them, revealing a surprised expression:

"These are a Rank B Water Dragon Bullet Technique and a Rank A Great Waterfall Technique!"

"I don't like owing favors. Since the organization's goal is to help each other, I'll help you kill Gato and those two ninjutsu scrolls as repayment for the information and help you provided before."

Zabuza replied with a cold expression.

Li Chuan's needs are ninjutsu. He wants any high-level ninjutsu. However, Water Dragon Bullet and Great Waterfall Technique are not particularly rare ninjutsu, nor are they secret techniques of Kirigakure. Ninjas from other major ninja villages also know them.

So after Zabuza learned of Li Chuan's needs, he wrote it down and gave it to Li Chuan.

Although these two ninjutsu techniques are nothing compared to the previous intelligence and the subsequent help in concealing his identity, they at least showed his sincerity in joining the organization.

"Of course! If you have the time, it would be even better if you could teach me these two ninjutsu. In return, I'll pay you!"

Having acquired two advanced ninjutsu techniques, Li Chuan was in a very good mood.

Four days later, Kakashi had fully recovered, and two weeks later, Naruto and Sasuke finally completed their tree-climbing training. At that time, the bridge was less than 100 meters away from the other side.

That morning, the bridge was as busy as usual. Tazuna and dozens of Chuanji's bridge-building workers were working hard, while Li Chuan and Kakashi chatted and kept them safe.

Just then, a short, middle-aged man in a suit carrying a scepter, leading hundreds of ninjas armed with various weapons, walked over from the other side of the bridge.

He pointed arrogantly at Dazner, Li Chuan, and everyone else:

"Did you think the bridge was almost finished? Did you think I was scared just because you hired a few ninjas from Konoha? Hahaha, I just wanted to wait until your hopes were at their peak before crushing them."

I will let everyone know that there will be no good end for anyone who opposes me, Kado, and you will never escape my control!

"Looks like he finally couldn't hold back anymore."

Kakashi looked at Gato in front of him and the more than one hundred rogue ninjas behind him, his expression unchanged. Instead, he turned to Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura and gave them instructions:

"Alright, now let's see how much you've accomplished in your training over this period of time."

"Oh, it's just the three of us? Kakashi-sensei, aren't you going to help us?"

Sakura's face showed a hint of panic.

The hundred or so ninjas opposite them were all menacing and had fierce expressions. They looked like they were not to be trifled with. How could the three of them, who had just graduated as genin, possibly defeat them?

However, no sooner had she finished speaking than Sasuke rushed forward with his kunai. Seeing Sasuke charge out, Naruto was not about to be outdone and followed suit.

"Sasuke, you're trying to steal the spotlight again. This time, I won't let you get away with it!"

"Sakura, believe in yourself. They are actually all very weak."

Li Chuan smiled and comforted her, and Xiao Ying finally mustered up her courage and rushed forward as well.
