Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 40: Trouble Brought by Orochimaru

Li Xiang participated in a simulation called Higurashi Himezuki, which sounded like a female name but was actually a young boy.

He asked his mother, who said that she dreamt of a red moon on the day she got pregnant.

Fortunately, it was just a dream and the red moon didn't actually appear.

Otherwise, it would have been troublesome.

Who knows what kind of scene would have unfolded with a whole family suffering from a mental illness.

"Himezuki!"

A boy with blue short hair and carrying giant swords rushed into the room, gasping for breath, and said, "Terumi Mei-sama wants you to come!"

"Chōjūrō, what happened?"

Li Xiang calmly stood up.

Although Terumi Mei hadn't officially taken office as Mizukage yet, she was already considered the next Mizukage.

Only Li Xiang knew that Chōjūrō would also become Mizukage in the future.

But he would be the weakest Mizukage.

To put it simply, Chōjūrō, you're so embarrassing, you should just quit.

"Somebody got injured."

"Oh."

Li Xiang wasn't surprised.

He became Terumi Mei's apprentice not only because he was good at speaking, talented, and good-looking, but also because he knew medical ninjutsu.

Due to the constant bloodshed in Kirigakure, everyone understood one thing.

Learning medicine couldn't save Kirigakure.

Except for a few exceptions like Tsunade, medical ninjas weren't good at combat.

In the high-pressure situation of Kirigakure, it was as good as sending them to their deaths.

Therefore, medical ninjas were quite rare.

And Li Xiang's path to becoming a medical ninja was smooth.

Because he had stayed in Konoha.

Although he had changed bodies, his memories remained.

Plus, he had developed excellent chakra control over several lifetimes.

In Terumi Mei's eyes, Li Xiang was truly a gift from nature.

Not only was he skilled in Water Style ninjutsu, but he was also a rare medical ninja.

Li Xiang followed Chōjūrō to Terumi Mei's residence.

In addition to Terumi Mei, there was also Ao.

Ao, a jōnin from Kirigakure, was known as the White Eye Killer.

Under his eye patch was the Byakugan of the Hyūga clan, which had been exiled.

"Himezuki, can you see if he can be saved?"

Terumi Mei pointed to the ninja lying on the bed.

Li Xiang smelled the scent of blood and burnt flesh.

Obviously, the injuries were caused by Fire Style ninjutsu.

Recalling what he had heard from Ao recently about Mizukage Yagura's abnormality, he could guess who was responsible.

Uchiha Obito.

According to Kirigakure's medical standards, this ninja could only receive basic treatment.

No hope! Just wait for death! Goodbye!

It's not that Li Xiang was boasting about Konoha, but in terms of medical skills, Konoha was indeed in a league of its own.

In the original work, Sakura's shining moment was detoxifying Kankurō.

It could be said that she surpassed the entire Sunagakure, including renowned strong individuals like Chiyo.

Kirigakure's situation was even worse than Sunagakure, so it was naturally impossible for them to develop advanced medical skills.

Li Xiang extended his hands.

Healing Jutsu!

Green chakra appeared.

He pressed his hands on the burned area, and the blackened flesh was immediately replaced.

Seeing this, Terumi Mei flicked her hair and smiled.

She looked at Li Xiang and made a decision in her heart.

Perhaps she should let him enter the center of power ahead of time.

Kirigakure was truly lacking in talent.

Due to the tradition of allowing killings and disliking kekkei genkai, with the demise of the Yoruichi clan, there were hardly any major ninja clans left.

Currently, the only clan that barely resembled a ninja clan was the Higurashi clan.

And the renowned Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were also in a pitiful state.

The first generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen was kicked into becoming the auspicious Three Treasures by a Leaf Village Genin.

The second generation died, escaped, and betrayed.

In the third generation, things became even worse, with only Chojuro and Kagura Karatachi remaining.

Currently, Kagura Karatachi is only four years old, so Li Xiang's appearance brings great joy to Terumi Mei.

Especially since he is her disciple.

Unlike Hoshigaki Kisame, who is practically a known traitor, always following the controlled Mizukage.

"Resting for a while will restore you to normal," Li Xiang dissipated his chakra and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

One advantage he has in this world is being born into the Karatachi clan.

He naturally has more chakra than others.

"You should stay and listen to what he has to say," Terumi Mei nodded and said.

"Alright, he should wake up soon," Li Xiang immediately understood her meaning.

It has to be said that this terrible timing in Kirigakure has given him a great opportunity.

If he were in Konoha, even as a Hokage's disciple, he would have to demonstrate extraordinary strength to enter the center of power.

At least it would be impossible at the age of seven.

After a few minutes, the ANBU ninja on the bed woke up.

He shook his head, took note of the situation around him, and quickly regained his composure.

"No need to get up, just tell us what you found out," Terumi Mei waved her hand and said.

"Our ANBU team infiltrated the Mizukage's office and encountered two mysterious individuals. In the end, I was the only one who managed to escape," the ANBU ninja took a deep breath and said, "The three of them were wearing the same uniform, with a black cloak embroidered with a red cloud."

"So, it's not just one person, but an organization," Terumi Mei frowned.

The situation was becoming more troublesome.

A while ago, Ao used his Byakugan to detect traces of genjutsu on Mizukage Yagura.

It shocked her greatly.

But at the same time, it made sense and explained why Mizukage's personality had changed so drastically.

"What about their identities?" Terumi Mei continued to ask.

"One of them is Hoshigaki Kisame, and the other two, I've never seen before. One wears a mask and uses Fire Style, while the other uses snake-related secret techniques."

"Snake?" Terumi Mei had a bad feeling in her heart. She took out a scroll and asked, "Is it him?"

"That's right, it's him!" The ANBU ninja nodded heavily. "Terumi Mei-sama, who is he?"

"You didn't participate in the Great Ninja War, so you wouldn't know him. It's normal," Terumi Mei sighed and said, "One of the Konoha Sannin, Orochimaru, is now a rogue ninja."

"The organization that Orochimaru joined..." Terumi Mei hesitated, almost blurting out an expletive.

Li Xiang had a similar feeling.

He tasted the consequences of his actions.

Orochimaru didn't betray Akatsuki like in the original story, and the only reason could be that Uchiha Itachi was still in Konoha.

The plot had changed.

Li Xiang suddenly realized that it would be extremely difficult for him to participate in the Chunin Exams.

Obito wouldn't be so kind as to let him go to Konoha for the exams.

So his hope lay with Terumi Mei.

Of course, there was another option, to join if he couldn't beat them.

The original intention of Li Xiang learning medical ninjutsu was to make Orochimaru see his value.

Not to be used as an experiment or a vessel.

Referring to Yakushi Kabuto, it was clear that an excellent medical ninja could make Orochimaru show mercy.

"Even if we release Mizukage from the genjutsu control, it will still be difficult to defeat those three," Terumi Mei rubbed her temples, feeling a headache.

Kirigakure's strong individuals were too scarce.

But if the problem with Mizukage wasn't resolved, the village would have no future.
