Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 4: Why is My Brother So Fast

Li Xiang picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup for Shisui and himself.

He knew that a change in mindset couldn't be achieved with just a few words.

Even though he had the eloquence of a talented E-rank ninja.

But Shisui had been brainwashed by the Will of Fire too deeply.

Li Xiang took a sip of cold tea, and he already had a plan for what to do next.

Today's task was to plant an extraordinary seed in Shisui.

"Shisui, you can't say things like that anymore."

Shisui stared at the calm Li Xiang and suddenly realized that he couldn't understand this fellow clan member.

He had thought that he was the younger brother who needed guidance, but after two conversations, it seemed like he was the one being guided.

"Hokage-sama would never betray Konoha."

Shisui took a deep breath, as if he was trying to convince himself. "He's not that kind of ninja."

"No one is perfect, even the wise can make mistakes."

Li Xiang locked eyes with him and asked, "Shisui, do you believe in the Will of Fire of Konoha or the Will of Fire of Hokage-sama?"

"Of course... it's the Will of Fire of Konoha."

Shisui hesitated for a moment, but chose the former as his answer.

Li Xiang put down his teacup.

At least there was still hope.

"In that case, why don't you let go of Hokage-sama and reexamine the Will of Fire?"

Li Xiang handed him some documents.

Shisui looked at the sentence on the cover, lost in thought.

Everything must be studied in order to understand.

Quoted from Master Lu Xun.

Li Xiang stood up and said, "Shisui, if you make up your mind, come find me again. I'll show you something interesting."

Shisui snapped back to reality, took a sip of tasteless tea, and started reading the documents.

In the afternoon, Uchiha Itachi knocked on the door and woke him up.

"It's Itachi, what's up?"

Shisui showed a gentle smile.

"Shisui, why didn't you go to the training ground today?"

Uchiha Itachi and Shisui were not only close friends, but also teacher and student.

Besides the Will of Fire, they were also similar in ninjutsu and physical skills.

According to their usual routine, if there were no missions, Shisui would go to the training ground to practice ninjutsu with him and discuss the Will of Fire during breaks, guiding him in the direction of his life.

"I was chatting with Li Xiang for a while."

Shisui answered truthfully.

"Li Xiang?"

Uchiha Itachi frowned almost imperceptibly.

Since Li Xiang graduated, his presence had become hard to ignore.

"Well, he's just like you, a ninja who is very good at thinking."

Shisui thought about their recent conversation and said, "I thought I already understood Konoha, but now I realize that I still don't know enough."

Uchiha Itachi felt puzzled by his seemingly random words.

In his impression, Shisui had never been so discouraged before.

He might feel tired because of the internal conflicts within the Uchiha clan, but he had never shown such negative emotions.

At this moment, Shisui's image in Uchiha Itachi's mind subtly changed.

"Can you tell me about it?"

Uchiha Itachi spoke up, genuinely curious about what kind of conversation had shaken Shisui.

"Wait a couple of days."

Shisui patted his shoulder and said.

He was worried that his misunderstanding would lead Uchiha Itachi astray.

Or rather, he had doubts about the Will of Fire and didn't dare to spread it anymore.

Shisui understood Uchiha Itachi very well and knew that he was accustomed to deep thinking due to his early maturity.

But it was all just speculation until he encountered the Will of Fire, which gave him a clear goal.

To put it in Li Xiang's words, the young Uchiha Itachi, stimulated by killing at the age of four, was influenced by Shisui without knowing what he truly wanted, and became a follower of the Will of Fire.

In simpler terms, it explained Uchiha Itachi's tragedy.

Having extraordinary talent and intelligence, but not receiving the proper education, influenced by the Will of Fire in his environment, he ended up on a dark path.

And his experiences shaped his cold-blooded personality.

Uchiha Itachi nodded silently.

But he felt that Shisui was already different from before.

After leaving Shisui's house, Li Xiang found himself without a place to go for a while.

Originally, he was supposed to follow the Jōnin team to do tasks like milking cows, pulling weeds, and finding cats.

But due to Uchiha Fugaku's intervention, he no longer needed to do such troublesome tasks.

Li Xiang thought for a moment and decided to practice ninjutsu instead.

Relying on his photographic memory talent, he memorized many Fire Style ninjutsu.

If it weren't for the limitation of Chakra, he might have been able to skip a level and become a Jōnin.

"Lang-ge! Lang-ge!"

As soon as Li Xiang arrived at the training ground, he heard a call from not far away.

It sounded very childish and excited.

Huh, it's actually Sasuke.

He was clearly very reluctant to come yesterday.

The strength demonstrated the true fragrance theory of a philosopher named Wang Jingze in his previous life.

"I have a question."

Sasuke ran up to Li Xiang, panting, and asked, "Why is my brother so fast?"

This question doesn't sound right.

I definitely don't know why your brother is so fast!

Li Xiang subconsciously exclaimed, "Ah."

Sasuke added, "Lang-ge, it takes me three seconds to form the hand seals you taught me yesterday, but my brother only needs one second."

"Well, this means that your technique is not as advanced as your brother's."

Li Xiang remembered Uchiha Itachi forming seven hand seals in one second when fighting Kakashi, while Sasuke could only do one seal per second, as slow as a beginner.

But even so, he could still keep up with Sasuke in their fights.

Not to mention his talent, just this fighting talent alone was enough to make others look up to him.

"Lang-ge, can you teach me?"

Sasuke looked at him expectantly.

"No problem."

Li Xiang understood his thoughts.

Children always want to surprise the people they care about.

"To improve the speed of forming hand seals, the technique relies on two aspects, speed and simplification..."

Li Xiang talked eloquently.

Fortunately, he was born into the Uchiha clan, so he could freely access this precious ninjutsu information.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to teach Sasuke.

When Uchiha Itachi arrived, he saw this scene.

He couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

Apart from himself, it was the first time he noticed Sasuke chatting so happily with someone else.

It wasn't that he was jealous, but he found it very unexpected.

He actually found Sasuke's personality quite troublesome, so it was a good thing for him to make good friends.

But why is it Uchiha Lang again?

It's really strange.

Uchiha Itachi approached slowly.

"Onii-san!"

Sasuke immediately left Li Xiang and ran towards Uchiha Itachi.

"What were you talking about?"

Uchiha Itachi patted his head.

In his eyes, his younger brother was the most important.

"Ah, nothing."

Sasuke shook his head.

He didn't want his brother to know for now.

Uchiha Itachi didn't press further, but he was more interested in Uchiha Lang.

"Lang, father has already told me that you will accompany me on missions in the future."

He looked at the calm young man in front of him and said, "Three days later, meet at the entrance of Konoha Village."

His tone was quite calm.

As a ninja, Uchiha Itachi was undoubtedly the most qualified.

But Li Xiang found it difficult to agree with the profession of being a ninja.

"I will be there on time."

Li Xiang showed a faint smile.

In the previous simulations, he died on the night of the Uchiha clan massacre.

But today is different, he wants to spar with Uchiha Itachi.
