Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 10: Don't Underestimate Uchiha

Uchiha Itachi possessed the Three Tomoe Sharingan and was able to handle a 2v1 situation without much difficulty.

However, Li Xiang did not have his eyes activated.

Because his mindset was problematic, he hadn't truly integrated into this world.

He was more like playing a game.

In addition, he was an orphan with no friends, making it difficult for him to meet the conditions for activating his eyes.

But fortunately, he had another trick up his sleeve.

His photographic memory talent was somewhat similar to the Sharingan in a certain sense.

Just lacking the advantage in vision.

Of course, it couldn't be compared to the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Li Xiang also had no intention of relying on force to clear the game.

He relied on his intelligence.

And who said that he couldn't defeat a Jōnin without the Sharingan?

In these years, because of his photographic memory, he didn't need to spend time learning ninjutsu, so his main focus was on studying how to quickly release ninjutsu and how to combine different techniques.

Just like playing a dungeon game in his previous life, he aimed to achieve the maximum attack effect within a limited time.

Li Xiang retracted his katana.

His right hand reached for his shoulder bag.

A rustling sound filled the air.

Li Xiang furrowed his brows slightly.

It was the Aburame clan.

A swarm of black bugs, enough to make anyone with entomophobia get goosebumps.

Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Claw!

Li Xiang silently formed hand seals.

He could shout out the technique during practice, but it would be exposing himself if he shouted it out during a fight, wouldn't it?

As the shuriken flew out, chakra transformed into raging flames, engulfing the shuriken like a blooming phoenix flower, enveloping the swarm of bugs.

At the same time, he quickly used sensory ninjutsu to lock onto the enemy's position.

The swarm of bugs caught fire and started burning.

Li Xiang pulled his right hand, and the invisible chakra threads caused the shuriken to make a ninety-degree turn.

The Aburame ninja, with an expressionless face, opened his hand.

To him, this trick was nothing more than a small clever move.

After all, he was just a freshly graduated Genin.

A swarm of bugs flew out from his sleeve, wrapping around the shuriken and devouring them.

But just then, a violent explosion occurred.

The flames engulfed the Aburame ninja.

Seven explosive tags were ignited.

But Li Xiang knew that a Jōnin wouldn't die so easily.

"You brat, you will die a miserable death!"

An angry voice came from Li Xiang's left.

Countless swarms of bugs surged like a tide, blocking all directions.

Li Xiang turned around to look at the Aburame clan ninja.

His chakra was completely devoured.

"Not good!"

The Aburame ninja inexplicably felt a sense of fear.

After all, he was an elite trained by the Root, and quickly realized that he had fallen under a genjutsu.

"Release!"

His surroundings changed in an instant, and Li Xiang's body disappeared.

No matter how slow he was, he realized that this Genin's performance was too outstanding to be judged by common sense.

Thinking of this, the Aburame ninja's face showed vigilance as he stared intently at his surroundings.

But he still couldn't find anything.

He flicked his sleeves, and invisible bugs scattered in all directions.

"So that's where you are."

The Aburame ninja glanced at a large rock by the nearby stream.

This was Earth Style.

At this moment, he really wanted to complain. Who the hell told me that he's just a Genin?!

Being able to proficiently use two elemental ninjutsu already reached the level of a Jōnin.

Truly worthy of being on par with Uchiha Itachi, the Uchiha prodigy.

The Aburame ninja remained vigilant, preparing to launch an attack while Li Xiang was off guard. But suddenly, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.

He instinctively looked down.

Only to see that his surroundings were filled with densely packed wires and explosive tags.

A massive burst of flames shot up into the sky.

Li Xiang still didn't make any movements.

After a moment, the Aburame ninja stood up.

His current state was not good.

Even though he used a swarm of insects as a shield, the high temperature and the forceful vibrations caused him serious injuries.

His whole body was covered in bloodstains.

But the physical pain was nothing compared to the anger in his heart.

Being continuously toyed with, the Aburame ninja was now furious to the ultimate degree.

However, he did not lose his rationality.

He stared at Li Xiang, who had merged with the rocks, while using the swarm of insects to investigate if there were any explosive tags around.

Explosive tags were essentially a way to seal ninjutsu within a talisman.

It wasn't difficult to identify them.

Especially for the swarm of insects, they could sense the hidden chakra deep within.

But he found nothing.

The Aburame ninja breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xiang was just a Genin, and explosive tags were expensive. He probably couldn't afford too many.

And his swarm of insects had never made a mistake.

"You brat! Still hiding?!"

The Aburame ninja shouted angrily, and a swarm of black insects surged all over his body.

In the end, he still didn't become complacent and chose to attack from a distance.

Even if there were explosive tags, they wouldn't be triggered as long as he didn't move.

Li Xiang felt a strong sense of oppression, separated from the rocks, and spat out a Great Fireball.

"Hmph, useless struggle. What can a mere Great Fireball Technique do..."

The Aburame ninja didn't finish his sentence, as he suddenly saw the water in the creek surging, and it was black.

A strong smell of oil spread out.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes.

At this moment, he finally realized that Li Xiang wasn't motionless hidden in the rocks, but had secretly poured oil into the stream.

The fireball instantly expanded.

Originally only one meter high, it turned into thirty meters in an instant, completely engulfing him.

This power was no less than Jiraiya's Fire Style: Toad Oil Flame Bullet.

The range was too wide, with nowhere to escape.

According to Uchiha's character, Li Xiang should have shown a smug smile at this moment, stepping on his corpse, and saying a victorious line.

Like, "You fool, no one dares to underestimate the Uchiha!"

But Li Xiang wasn't that ostentatious. At this moment, his thought was, "I actually killed someone with the Great Fireball Technique."

It was pretty cool.

The flames still didn't extinguish, spreading on the mountain.

Fortunately, it wasn't in his previous life, otherwise this fire would have landed him in prison for a lifetime of free food and drink.

He won this battle relatively luckily.

Because his opponent was from the Aburame clan.

High emotional intelligence, the Aburame clan was very comprehensive.

Low emotional intelligence, the Aburame clan was quite mediocre.

In terms of combat, they were obviously not as formidable as other Jōnin.

If it came to close combat, Li Xiang would probably have to sing "Liáng Liáng" (a song) in defeat.

One, because he was young and his physical abilities hadn't reached their peak.

Two, because his taijutsu skills were indeed not that great.

"Lang!"

The voice was still in the distance, but Shisui had already appeared in front of Li Xiang.

Truly worthy of being Shisui with Body Flicker.

After the death of the Fourth Hokage Minato, Shisui was undoubtedly the fastest man in Konoha.

"Are you okay?"

Shisui asked with concern on his face.

"Do I look like I'm in trouble?"

Li Xiang shrugged and said, "If you don't go help Itachi soon, he might end up as a corpse."

Shisui was shocked by his words and quickly ran towards the mountaintop.

The battle quickly came to an end.

Li Xiang leisurely walked up to the two of them.

Shisui was examining the body, but his expression was not good.

"Is it a Root ninja?"

Li Xiang casually asked.

Shisui nodded silently.

"First ANBU, then Root."

Li Xiang sighed and said with emotion, "What has the Uchiha clan done to be so hated?"

"I don't understand."

Shisui's tone was low as he asked, "If he kills you and Itachi, the Uchiha clan will definitely rebel. Why would Lord Danzo do something that is not beneficial to Konoha? Hasn't he always been thinking of Konoha's well-being?"

From his actions in the original work, it could be seen that he had great trust in Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō.

Thanks to the support from Half Spoon Immortal Soup and a Bag of Chili, two big shots.
