Batch renaming files on command line

I'm looking to rename a series of files that has the following naming system:

5901_fig-1658008.20.peg.1782.faa
7274_fig-1658008.20.peg.2807.faa
8228_fig-1658008.20.peg.3705.faa

And change it to:

fig-1658008.20.peg.1782.faa
fig-1658008.20.peg.2807.faa
fig-1658008.20.peg.3705.faa

How would I do this on command line?

it looks like you just want to remove the sub strings before '_'

 for file in *.faa; do mv "$file" "${file#*_}"; done
