The next day.
Morning.
The sky was faintly brightening.
In the bedroom, Aomei opened his eyes.
He turned to look at the window. Even without activating his Byakugan, he could sense someone keeping watch outside.
Last night during his training, he had already noticed the two teams dispatched by Danzo to monitor him.
However, he had chosen not to act recklessly.
After all, this was the territory of the Uchiha clan. Aomei didn't want to escalate matters.
It wasn't out of fear of implicating the Uchiha clan, nor was it due to fear of Danzo or his Root ninjas. He simply didn't want the situation to become unnecessarily complicated.
His intentions had always been straightforward: to kill Danzo and seize the Root organization's treasures.
As for other matters, such as the conflict between his clan and the village or between his clan and Danzo, Aomei didn't wish to get involved.
Thus, he not only refrained from making a move but also decided to lure the enemies away from the Uchiha territory.
With that thought in mind, Aomei quickly got up, finished his morning routine, grabbed his ninja pouch, and stepped out the door.
Walking along the village streets, he could vaguely sense the presence of several Root operatives trailing him.
Unbothered, Aomei stopped at a roadside stall for breakfast, filled his stomach, and then headed towards the village gate.
Under the shroud of morning mist, Aomei soon reached the entrance of Konoha.
The two guards stationed there noticed him. Though puzzled by his early departure, they didn't question him.
After all, the village didn't restrict its own ninjas from leaving.
In such circumstances, the guards naturally avoided unnecessary trouble.
Not long after leaving the village, Aomei performed Wind Release: Wings of the Wind and Chakra Cloak. With a gentle flap of his wings, he soared into the sky.
Hovering mid-air, he glanced back toward the path he had taken, his gaze sweeping over several large trees. A faint smirk formed on his lips before he turned and sped off into the distance like a streak of light.
Down below, amidst the trees, eight Root ninjas emerged quietly.
They watched Aomei's retreating figure, wanting to pursue him but lacking the means to do so. In the end, they could only stand there helplessly as Aomei disappeared from view.
"What should we do next?" one Root ninja asked.
The two team leaders exchanged glances before one of them replied, "We return."
The others voiced no objections.
After all, if they didn't return, there was nothing else they could do.
Since that was the case, it was better to report back immediately and let their superiors handle the matter, avoiding any delays.
With this decision, the two teams of Root ninjas turned around and began making their way back to the village.
Not long after their departure, Aomei's figure reappeared abruptly, seemingly out of nowhere.
There was no spatial ripple, no concealment of chakra. Aomei had simply materialized.
Clearly, he had used the power of Heavenly Transfer again.
With his Byakugan, Aomei watched the departing Root ninjas. He didn't speak, and after a brief pause, he flew off in another direction.
Truth be told, he could've easily taken out the eight Root operatives earlier. He had at least an 80% chance of eliminating them all without leaving a trace.
But his target wasn't the small fry—it was Danzo.
Rather than wasting time here, it was more crucial to plan the next steps carefully.
Though confident in his strength and not worried about any trouble Danzo could cause, Aomei believed in the saying, "A lion uses its full strength even to catch a rabbit."
To ensure success and minimize subsequent complications, he needed to prepare meticulously.
Avoiding unnecessary complications was, of course, the ideal outcome.
Moreover, he might still need these lackeys to lead him to Danzo.
Thus, there was no need to go overboard and risk provoking Danzo too much.
With these thoughts running through his mind, Aomei flew further away from the village, finally arriving at a secluded forest.
Hovering above the forest, he circled several times. Using his Byakugan, he scanned the area thoroughly.
Ultimately, he shook his head and left, heading to another location.
From a geographical standpoint, this forest wasn't bad for either training or a battlefield.
But the problem lay in the proximity of several villages and a nearby bustling town.
If the commotion here became too loud, it would inevitably draw attention—a scenario Aomei wanted to avoid.
Thus, he had no choice but to abandon this spot.
Fortunately, with his high flight speed and the vast expanse of the Land of Fire, Aomei was confident he could find a suitable location.
...
As time ticked by, it was mid-morning before Aomei finally discovered a satisfactory location.
It was in the southern part of the Land of Fire, near the coastline, amidst a forest.
The surrounding area was barren and devoid of human activity.
Furthermore, there were no major roads or military bases nearby, meaning no stationed ninja forces.
This made it an ideal spot for both training and a battlefield.
Here, no matter how much noise he made, it wouldn't attract unwanted attention—at least not immediately.
And that was all he needed.
However, Aomei wasn't in a rush to lure Danzo over just yet.
Danzo was cunning and suspicious by nature. If Aomei made his movements too obvious, it might arouse Danzo's wariness.
In such a case, if Danzo refrained from coming personally, Aomei's entire setup would fall apart.
Thus, careful planning was necessary.
To achieve this, Aomei needed to create an opportunity—an opening so subtle that it would lower Danzo's guard and make him believe he had a chance to act.
Such a chance wasn't hard to manufacture.
In fact, it was simple.
Aomei didn't believe that Root lacked the means to track him just because they couldn't fly. Even the simplest method—setting up observation points along his route—would eventually pinpoint his location.
Of course, this was contingent on him not deliberately concealing his movements.
So, in the following days, all Aomei needed to do was consistently come here to train, adhering to a predictable pattern.
Yes, his plan was as straightforward as that.
And the simpler the plan, the less likely it was to fail.
After some deep thought, Aomei finalized his approach.
With his decision made, he wasted no time.
Choosing a spot, Aomei descended to the ground.
Without delay, he formed a hand seal and performed Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu, summoning six clones.
After assigning each clone their respective training tasks, Aomei left to find a quieter spot for himself.
Settling into a meditative position, he began alternating between Mystical Palm Technique and Inner Reflecting Technique, simultaneously strengthening his body and advancing his Sharingan's evolution.
Time passed second by second, and soon, Aomei was fully immersed in his training.
