Morning.
Dawn was just breaking.
Inside the bedroom, Seii opened his eyes.
Turning his head toward the window, he knew without activating his Byakugan that soone was watching.
He had already discovered two squads sent by Danzo during his training the previous night.
However, he didn't act recklessly.
This was, after all, the territory of the Uchiha Clan, and Seii didn't want to stir up unnecessary trouble.
It wasn't that he feared implicating the Uchiha or was intimidated by Danzo or his Root ninjas. He simply didn't want to complicate matters.
His goal had always been straightforward: kill Danzo and plunder the treasures hidden within Root's archives.
As for other issues, such as the clan's tensions with the village or conflicts with Danzo, he had no interest in involving himself.
Therefore, not only would he refrain from acting here, but he would also do his best to draw his enemies away from this place.
With this in mind, Seii quickly got out of bed. After completing his morning routine, he grabbed his ninja gear and headed out.
Walking along the street, he could vaguely sense the presence of several Root ninjas.
Without stopping, he found a breakfast stall, ordered so food, and ate his fill before heading toward the village gate.
Amid the morning mist, Seii soon arrived at Konoha's entrance.
The two gate guards noticed him. While curious about why he was leaving so early, they didn't bother to ask any questions.
After all, the village didn't forbid its ninjas from leaving.
In such cases, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Once he left the village, Seii didn't go far before activating "Wind Release: Wings of Wind" and "Chakra Cloak" to take to the skies.
Hovering in mid-air, he glanced back at the path he had taken. His gaze swept over a few large trees, and he sneered disdainfully.
Then, with a flap of his wings, he streaked across the sky, disappearing into the distance.
Below.
Between the trees, eight Root ninjas erged silently.
They watched Seii's retreating figure. Although they wanted to give chase, they lacked the ans to do so. In the end, they could only watch helplessly as he vanished from sight.
"What do we do now?"
One of the ninjas broke the silence.
The two squad leaders exchanged glances before one of them replied, "Let's head back for now."
The others voiced no objections.
After all, staying here served no purpose.
It was better to return imdiately, report the situation, and let their superiors decide the next course of action.
With that, the two squads of Root ninjas, led by their captains, began their journey back to the village.
Not long after they left, Seii suddenly reappeared.
There were no signs of spatial fluctuations or attempts to mask his presence. Seii simply materialized out of thin air.
Clearly, he had used the power of "Heavenly Transfer" again.
With his Byakugan, Seii observed the departing Root ninjas. He remained silent, lingering briefly before flying off once more.
Indeed, he could have attacked earlier, and there was at least an 80% chance he could have taken them all down without leaving any traces.
But his target was Danzo, not a handful of lackeys.
Rather than waste ti here, it was better to plan the next steps.
Although Seii was confident in his abilities and doubted Danzo could pose any real threat to him, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit.
To ensure nothing went wrong and to minimize any potential trouble later, he decided to carefully prepare.
Thus, if unnecessary complications could be avoided, it was naturally best to avoid them.
Besides, he might still need these underlings to guide Danzo to him later!
So, he couldn't go overboard and risk angering Danzo.
Various thoughts flashed through Seii's mind as he quickly left the village and arrived at a secluded forest.
Seii circled above the forest several tis. Using his Byakugan, he thoroughly surveyed the surrounding area.
In the end, he shook his head, left the area, and flew elsewhere.
In terms of location, this place wasn't bad—it was suitable for either training or serving as a battlefield.
However, the problem was that there were several villages nearby, as well as a sizable town.
In such a situation, any significant commotion in this area would attract unwanted attention.
This was sothing Seii wanted to avoid.
Thus, he had no choice but to give it up.
Fortunately, his flight speed was fast enough, and the Land of Fire's territory was vast enough for him to find a more ideal location.
...
Ti passed quickly, and before long, it was mid-morning.
After searching through more than ten locations, Seii finally found a place that t his criteria.
This was in the southern part of the Land of Fire, near the coastline, within a forest.
The area was surrounded by barren land, devoid of human presence.
Moreover, there were no important routes or bases nearby, so no ninja units were stationed here.
Because of this, it was perfect for his training and equally suitable as a battlefield.
Here, no matter how much of a commotion he caused, it wouldn't attract attention.
At least, not for a while.
And for him, that was more than enough.
However, Seii didn't rush to lure Danzo to the area.
Danzo was a scheming and cunning individual. If Seii acted too conspicuously, it could arouse Danzo's suspicions. Follow current novels on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
If that happened, Danzo might not co in person, and Seii's plans would fall apart.
Thus, he needed to plan carefully.
After so thought, Seii realized that only by subtly allowing Danzo to discover this place could he lower Danzo's guard, making him believe he had seized an opportunity to strike.
Otherwise, there would definitely be issues.
To achieve this, Seii needed to create an opportunity for Danzo.
Fortunately, creating such an opportunity wasn't difficult.
In fact, it was quite simple.
Seii didn't believe that Danzo's Root ninjas couldn't track his location just because they lacked flight techniques. Even if they used the most basic thods—such as setting up observation points along the way—they would gradually pinpoint his location.
Of course, this relied on Seii not deliberately hiding his movents.
So, over the next few days, as long as he ca here regularly to train, the opportunity would naturally present itself.
That's right—his plan was just that simple.
And the simpler a plan, the less likely it was to go wrong.
Thus, after so deep consideration, Seii decided to proceed in this way.
Once his decision was made, he didn't waste any more ti.
He selected a spot and descended directly.
Without any delay, the mont his feet touched the ground, Seii raised his hands to form seals and perford the "Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu," creating six shadow clones.
Looking at the six clones, Seii assigned each of them specific training tasks before turning and leaving.
Finding another relatively quiet place, Seii sat cross-legged and began alternating between "Mystical Palm Technique" and "Mind's Eye Technique." He simultaneously strengthened his body and advanced the evolution of his Sharingan.
Ti passed second by second.
Before long, Seii was fully imrsed in his training.
