Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 7: You Will Regret It

The Uchiha clan unexpectedly made it to the top of Konoha's hot search in a way that no one could have anticipated.

Except for Li Xiang and Shisui, they were just as confused.

"What's going on?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a ring of smoke and looked at the ANBU ninja in front of him wearing a frog mask.

Upon hearing this news, he thought it was his telescope technique that had injured his body and caused hallucinations.

"It's Uchiha Shisui."

The ANBU's tone remained as calm as ever.

After all, they were professionally trained and generally wouldn't lose their composure.

Although he confirmed the information several times before daring to report it to the Third Hokage.

Shisui was his colleague.

He usually behaved very seriously.

But he never expected this kid to be like this.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know what the ANBU in front of him was thinking. He took a puff from his pipe and his thoughtful eyes still shone brightly.

He understood Shisui.

This method couldn't have been his idea.

If Jiraiya hadn't returned to the village, he would have suspected him.

But even if it was him, he couldn't have secretly contacted the Uchiha clan without his knowledge.

There must be something fishy about this.

"Go and bring me the list of people Shisui has been in contact with these past few days."

Sarutobi Hiruzen gestured with his left hand and gave the order.

The ANBU immediately disappeared and quickly reappeared with a file in hand.

Although Shisui was a member of the ANBU, he had always been under their surveillance, so it didn't take much time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced over the personnel listed in the file and couldn't help but furrow his brows.

Because it was too normal.

Either they were ANBU members or Uchiha clan members.

There were no strangers, and no abnormal events.

But normality seemed even more abnormal.

Shisui had already thought of the so-called beauty trap, was that reasonable?

He wasn't from India, would he jump into the Ganges River and shout, "This is the Ganges River!"

"Who has Shisui been close to these past few days?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped his pipe and asked.

"Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Nami."

The ANBU immediately replied.

"Uchiha Nami?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was somewhat surprised and asked, "The genius second only to Uchiha Itachi?"

As for Uchiha Itachi, he wasn't surprised.

These two often hung out together.

But Uchiha Nami, although Shisui knew her, their relationship was obviously average.

"It's her."

"Tell me more."

"Uchiha Shisui is very powerful, and we don't have a lot of records on him."

The ANBU glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and continued, "A few days ago, Uchiha Nami graduated, and Shisui went to visit her and had a long conversation. At the same time, the two of them went to the Konoha Police Department together yesterday."

The mole has been caught!

After hearing the second half of the sentence, Sarutobi Hiruzen was already certain that the reason was Uchiha Nami.

But he couldn't just assume that Shisui had betrayed them.

If they lost this spy, their grasp of information about the Uchiha clan would be instantly weakened.

He couldn't afford to lose him without confirmation.

And Shisui himself was a genius.

Konoha was currently facing a serious problem, a generational gap.

After Minato's death, Kakashi was in a slump, and it was difficult to find a young generation to carry the banner.

Both Shisui and Uchiha Itachi had this potential, but unfortunately, they were from the Uchiha clan.

He didn't have such a broad mind to fully trust them.

Thinking of Minato, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a bit sad.

But this atmosphere was quickly dispersed.

Cold and gloomy.

Shimura Danzō.

"You go first."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand at the Anbu ninja and then turned to his good friend, asking, "What's the matter? Is it about the Konoha Police Force?"

After speaking, he took a puff of his cigarette.

Danzō nodded slightly and said, "Because of Shisui's actions, the residents of Konoha have had a change in attitude towards the Konoha Police Force."

"Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't think this thing would be of much use.

He was concerned about Shisui.

"A thousand-mile dike can collapse in an ant hole."

Danzō said with a cold expression, "Every little thing is worth paying attention to, especially when it concerns the Uchiha clan. Hmph, I've told you before, let Shisui join Root."

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes.

He knew exactly what Root was, so there was no way he would give Shisui to Danzō.

But what he said made sense.

The Uchiha clan's emotions were currently unstable, and if Shisui deviated again, things might head in an unpredictable direction.

"Shisui is an extremely important step in our plan. We can't let him be influenced by anything."

Danzō looked at him and said, "Put away your pointless compassion, I'll handle it."

The two of them knew each other well, and he believed that Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't be soft in this matter.

After all, he was a shinobi.

There are only wrong names, no wrong nicknames.

"Wait a little longer."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and said, "Let's not act hastily. Uchiha Fugaku's disciple, Uchiha Itachi, is going out on a mission with him tomorrow. We can observe a little longer."

He was slightly different from Danzō. He didn't want to meet the Uchiha clan in battle unless absolutely necessary.

In the original work, it was also mentioned that when Uchiha Itachi reported the rebellion to Konoha, only he wanted to negotiate for peace among the higher-ups.

But that was the limit.

"Hmph, you'll regret it!"

Danzō felt disappointed and turned to leave.

The next day, at the entrance of Konoha Village.

"Shisui, make sure to follow us later, but don't let the Anbu ninja notice."

Li Xiang glanced at Uchiha Itachi not far away and said in a low voice.

"What do you mean? Are they going to attack you?"

Shisui found it a bit unbelievable.

Uchiha Fugaku's disciple and Uchiha Itachi, one was the clan head's disciple, the other was the clan head's son.

How dare they?

"It doesn't necessarily mean they'll attack."

Li Xiang shook his head and said, "But they will definitely take some action."

Since the Nine-Tails incident, the Uchiha clan had been under surveillance by Konoha.

In other words, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō would definitely take notice of his existence.

Although they were not good at external warfare, they were invincible in internal warfare.

Li Xiang didn't underestimate them.

He just had the advantage of information asymmetry, and in all seriousness, he couldn't outplay them.

"I will."

Shisui took a deep breath.

He was hesitant now.

He hoped that what Li Xiang said was true, but also hoped it was false.

After finishing their conversation, Li Xiang bid farewell to him.

Although Uchiha Itachi was curious about the content of their conversation, he didn't ask.

He wasn't the kind of person who couldn't hide his emotions.

Seeing his appearance, Li Xiang couldn't help but feel that he didn't look like a ten-year-old, but rather like a thirty-year-old.

Incredibly mature.

But lacking in education.

His mind was filled with methods, almost no different from Danzō, except for killing, it was still killing.

All combat skills, no emotions.

If it weren't for the simulator, Li Xiang really wouldn't want to deal with him.

"You're a Genin, so the level of our mission isn't high."

Uchiha Itachi took out a scroll and said, "Take a look at the contents yourself."
