Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 8: The Genius Problem Child, Uchiha Itachi

Ninja mission levels are divided into D, C, B, A, and S.

Just graduated Genin can only take D-rank missions.

Although Li Xiang is a genius of the Uchiha clan, it is impossible for him to start with an S-rank mission.

"A C-rank mission, to find the kidnapped noble lady, Kanai."

Li Xiang smiled and said, "That's a good name."

Uchiha Itachi glanced at him and didn't think there was anything good about it.

He took out a map and said, "The kidnappers are demanding a ransom of 200,000 ryo from Kanai's family, and the location is in the Magical Valley."

"If the kidnappers are smart, the Magical Valley should not be their main base, but a temporary meeting point for the money."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, he opened the map.

Uchiha Itachi was very serious and meticulous, marking several routes on it.

All of them were centered around the Magical Valley, which he speculated to be the kidnappers' main base.

Their thoughts were in agreement.

But Uchiha Itachi thought further, proving his experience and wisdom.

Li Xiang was not surprised.

He had just graduated and couldn't be stronger than Uchiha Itachi.

"Let's go."

Li Xiang returned the map to Uchiha Itachi and pointed to his forehead, saying, "I've memorized them."

Upon hearing about his photographic memory, Uchiha Itachi didn't say anything else. The two of them leaped through the forest and quickly left the Forest of Death.

The Magical Valley is located in the northern part of Konoha Village, about a three-hour journey.

They set off at nine in the morning and arrived at their destination close to noon.

Uchiha Itachi stopped and a faint wrinkle appeared on his forehead. He said, "Let's eat first."

Li Xiang glanced at him.

According to Uchiha Itachi's character, although he liked Sanseimaru, he wasn't a foodie.

This indicated that he had sensed something unusual.

Anbu or Root tracking them?

"I'll investigate the surroundings first, so that no one notices our campfire."

Li Xiang spoke when he saw Uchiha Itachi's fingers conjuring flames.

He formed hand seals and expanded his perception.

"There are four people."

Uchiha Itachi lit the campfire and said, "One Jonin, three Chunin, probably Anbu."

For now, he was satisfied with Li Xiang. He didn't seem like a just-graduated Genin at all.

Although he had never had a teammate, he was well aware of how terrible Genin's performance could be.

At first, Uchiha Fugaku asked him to bring along Uchiha Lang and join Anbu as a spy, which he was actually reluctant to do.

"Truly a genius of the Uchiha clan."

Li Xiang put away his ninjutsu and took out a prepared white rabbit from a storage scroll.

The taste of the soldier pills was too outrageous, and he couldn't stand it.

Uchiha Itachi didn't pay attention to his cooking, but rather to the reason why Anbu was tracking them.

"A C-rank mission is not worth Anbu's escort, so their goal must be you."

"Why can't it be you?"

Li Xiang roasted the rabbit meat and smiled, "Regardless of status or strength, obviously you are more worthy of attention than me."

Uchiha Itachi shook his head gently and said, "Everything is not about appearances. Shisui acted out of character at the Konoha Police Department yesterday. If I were Hokage, I would definitely investigate and find out that you and he have been particularly close these past few days."

Although he didn't know the content of Li Xiang and Shisui's conversation, he still deduced the truth from the clues.

"So, genius is an annoying existence."

Li Xiang shrugged and complained.

This kid is only ten years old?!

Which ten-year-old child can be this smart?

Thinking of Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, who graduated at twelve in the original work, although they were protagonists, they were truly too immature compared to Uchiha Itachi.

"Agreed."

Uchiha Itachi calmly uttered four words.

In his opinion, Li Xiang's ability to persuade Shisui undoubtedly made him a genius among geniuses.

Among peers, Li Xiang was the first and only one that he took seriously.

Li Xiang raised an eyebrow.

Mutual flattery in business, full marks.

I never thought that one day I would be praised by Uchiha Itachi.

"Now that you know, what do you plan to do about the tracking Anbu?"

"The best way is to ignore them."

Both Uchiha Itachi and Shisui leaned towards the Hokage lineage. If they didn't want to cause a rift, they naturally had to act as if nothing had happened.

"But I think you and Shisui must have other plans."

He calmly analyzed, "The two of you had a conversation before leaving, and I believe it was about the Anbu ninja."

Li Xiang suddenly thought of a phrase.

Passing through the wisdom and dying young.

Uchiha Itachi's life was undoubtedly the best illustration.

Without a proper foundation of knowledge, thinking too much would inevitably lead to the wrong path.

"If I say that I plan to capture those four Anbu, what would you do?"

Li Xiang asked in return.

"With your strength, it is impossible for you to do that, so Shisui must be involved as well."

Uchiha Itachi looked at him, showing a rare desire to inquire, "What exactly did you tell him?"

"Nothing."

Li Xiang smiled, "I just told him that the Hokage betrayed Konoha."

"What?!"

Uchiha Itachi finally lost his usual calmness.

Li Xiang's lips curled up.

No matter how intelligent one is, when faced with something beyond their grasp, they will feel flustered.

In their previous confrontation, he was at a disadvantage, but now the situation had changed, and he had the upper hand.

At this moment, Uchiha Itachi had not yet reached the level of coldness he would display on the night of the Uchiha clan massacre. He asked, "What do you mean by the Hokage betraying Konoha?"

"The surface meaning."

Li Xiang casually replied.

He recalled Uchiha Itachi's experiences in the original work, which was his biggest advantage.

The so-called god's perspective, or hindsight.

Li Xiang picked up a piece of rabbit leg and handed it to him, asking, "I remember you went to the battlefield at the age of four, so do you like war or hate war?"

Uchiha Itachi said in a deep voice, "No one likes war."

It was precisely because of this reason that he wanted to understand the world better and yearned for knowledge and power.

"How do you think we can stop war?"

"The Will of Fire."

Uchiha Itachi's face showed a rare longing, "Only when everyone works together can we ensure that beloved Konoha remains in peace."

To be honest, Li Xiang was somewhat surprised.

Due to his inherent memories from his previous life, his impression of Uchiha Itachi was extremely negative.

But when he said these words, anyone would think that he was an idealist for peace.

The only regret was that he was too extreme and cold.

In addition, Shisui's death led him to take an approach that he shouldn't have taken.

Li Xiang pondered for a moment.

In order to change the Uchiha clan massacre, Uchiha Itachi's double-edged sword must be used properly.

He wouldn't deny the unreasonable things Uchiha Itachi did in the original work, but there was no need to involve the ten-year-old him at the moment.

However, if such a situation arose, he would definitely not show mercy.

After all, Li Xiang had the greatest cheat, unlimited restarts.

"Konoha is currently in a critical situation. Do you want to save it?"

Thanks to Zhu's novel time big shot for the reward.
