Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 11: Three Young Men

"Danzo was only thinking for himself and Konoha," Li Xiang replied bluntly, "As I mentioned before, Konoha and the Hokage cannot be equated."

Upon hearing the word "Hokage," Uchiha Itachi looked at the silent Shisui and asked, "Did you gain anything from interrogating the ANBU?"

He didn't have a good impression of Danzo, but he cared deeply about Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Because of his conversation with Li Xiang, he wanted to know if the Hokage had betrayed the Will of Fire.

"The ANBU ninjas said their mission was to track down Wave," Shisui said.

He didn't say the rest.

But Uchiha Itachi already understood the implied meaning.

Everything was just as Li Xiang had predicted.

The attitude of the higher-ups in Konoha towards the Uchiha clan was clearly evident.

Whether it was Sarutobi Hiruzen or Shimura Danzo, neither of them intended to follow in the footsteps of the Second Generation Senju Tobirama, trying to recruit or integrate them into Konoha.

Shisui felt uneasy.

He had always viewed Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo through a thick filter of the Will of Fire.

And now, that filter was gone.

He couldn't accept it for a while.

Li Xiang probably understood his feelings.

It was like hearing his wife, Ishihara Satomi, getting married in his previous life.

He glanced at the charred mountaintop.

There were no bandits, no hostages.

Li Xiang estimated that they had already been dealt with by Root.

Ninjas trained by Shimura Danzo didn't know mercy.

To exaggerate, even egg yolks would be shaken apart.

"Oh no!" Li Xiang suddenly said with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?" Shisui immediately shook off his gloomy mood and asked.

"My first mission failed," Li Xiang sighed, "I had planned to achieve a 100% completion rate."

He was a person with OCD.

In his previous life, one of the great joys of playing games was completing the entire collection or collecting all the items.

"..." Shisui tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Was this the time to worry about that?

But being disrupted like this inexplicably restored his mood to normal.

He looked at Uchiha Itachi.

It seemed that Li Xiang had talked to him, and now he appeared calm.

He didn't lose his composure due to the double targeting of Root and the ANBU.

It also saved him a lot of trouble.

Shisui returned to the problem at hand and said, "I modified the memories of the four ANBU ninjas, so there shouldn't be any problems. But the three Root ninjas are already dead, and it will be difficult for us to explain to Danzo."

Li Xiang noticed that he had changed the way he referred to Danzo, proving that he was no longer blindly following the Will of Fire.

He smiled and said, "Root? What Root ninjas? We didn't see anything."

Shisui was slightly taken aback.

He quickly understood what Li Xiang meant.

Danzo would never admit that he had sent Root to assassinate them.

If they had succeeded, there wouldn't be a problem, but now that they had failed and Sarutobi Hiruzen knew about it, he would undoubtedly scold them.

Danzo was a respectable ninja, and in terms of both emotions and reason, he could only swallow this hidden loss.

But the grudge had already been formed.

There would be a second time as long as Li Xiang was alive, and Danzo would come back.

"It might be troublesome for you to go on missions in the future," Shisui frowned.

Even though he wanted to protect them, it was impossible to do so all the time.

Thieves only last a thousand days, there is no way to guard against them for a thousand days.

"Then let's solve it once and for all," Li Xiang said without hesitation.

Shisui couldn't help but freeze in expression.

Even Uchiha Itachi looked astonished.

It was really too sudden.

Not long ago, they still respected Danzo very much, but now they were about to kill him.

"Face reality and prepare for battle."

Li Xiang said in a deep voice, "The Uchiha clan doesn't have much time left."

He also had another concern, Uchiha Obito.

The original work did not specify when Uchiha Itachi and him met, but it was probably the night of the clan's annihilation.

If that's the case, let's move it up three years.

Shisui remained silent for a moment, not refusing, and said, "This matter needs careful consideration. Danzo's strength has always been a mystery, and the Root ninjas are not easy to deal with."

"If you can convince my father, it might be easier."

Uchiha Itachi hesitated for a moment and said, "My father actually doesn't approve of the coup."

In the original work, Uchiha Fugaku only agreed to rebel because he saw that the situation within the clan was uncontrollable.

To put it bluntly, he was a fence-sitter.

If Minato didn't die, perhaps his character could have found a way out for the Uchiha clan.

But unfortunately, there are no "ifs."

Now, the clan leader suitable for the Uchiha clan must have a thunderous means, otherwise they won't be able to suppress the emotions within the clan.

When the Ultimate comes, it will ultimately harm both others and oneself.

Uchiha Fugaku gave up resistance on the night of the clan's annihilation because he gave up making a choice between Konoha and the clan, and entrusted the future to Uchiha Itachi.

In a sense, Uchiha Itachi was just an unlucky guy.

He bore the heavy burden of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Fugaku before their deaths.

But the problem is that he couldn't do anything about it either and eventually led to his own destruction.

Look at Danzo, although he's weak, he dares to take action.

By accident, he actually achieved his dream and became Hokage for a few days.

"How can I convince him?"

Li Xiang complained, "Aren't you his son?"

Uchiha Itachi's face showed a rare expression of embarrassment.

Because he was his father, he didn't know how to persuade him.

"I also think this matter is more suitable for you."

Shisui took the opportunity to add, "Both your eloquence and knowledge are inferior to mine and Itachi's. I believe even the dead can be persuaded by your words."

"For a moment, I didn't know if you were praising me or mocking me."

Li Xiang shook his head helplessly.

He didn't have much confidence in persuading Uchiha Fugaku.

Because he was old enough and had matured in his values.

Countless facts in his past life proved that the most difficult to communicate with are the elders.

"Of course, I was praising you."

Shisui smiled and said, "Although it's only been a few days, I believe it would be hard to find a ninja of your age who is more outstanding than you."

Hey hey, isn't that a bit too exaggerated?

With your strength, you can beat ten of me.

But this rainbow fart is really something, I give it a 99 out of 100, deducting one point for fear of making you proud.

Li Xiang said seriously, "I will do my best, but I estimate that when we return, the clan leader will summon us because of the matter with the Konoha Police Force."

"That is indeed a problem."

Shisui changing the patrol team was just a test for the higher-ups in Konoha, but how should they explain it within the clan?

He subconsciously looked at Li Xiang, hoping to get a satisfactory answer.

"..."

Li Xiang understood his gaze.

But he wasn't Doraemon, he couldn't produce a magic pocket.

He patted Shisui's shoulder and said, "Think for yourself when faced with problems. You can't always rely on me."

Meaning he couldn't do anything about it.

Shisui's face fell a bit, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

On the other hand, Uchiha Itachi, for some reason, felt in a good mood when he saw this.

At this moment, he had a feeling that they were invincible and could confront the whole world.

Whether it was Konoha or the Uchiha clan, it was nothing.

If Li Xiang knew what he was thinking, he could only tell him, "Kid, you're going through your chuunibyou phase."

Thanks to Han Han for the generous tip.
