Boom!
Danzo's body fell heavily to the ground. Even in his final moments, he never broke free from the control of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
It could be said that his death was both humiliating and suffocating.
Reflecting on everything Danzo did today, while it was partly due to Aomei's deliberate manipulation, much of it was rooted in his own greed.
Had he not harbored malicious intent toward the Mangekyō Sharingan, he wouldn't have been so easily ensnared.
If that were the case, eliminating him would have been far more challenging for Aomei.
Such thoughts quickly flashed through Aomei's mind. He then looked up at the barrier that had been present since the battle began.
Now, the battlefield was empty, save for Aomei and the four individuals maintaining the barrier.
Having gone through so much effort to defeat Danzo and his men, Aomei had no intention of leaving any loose ends behind.
However, just as Aomei was about to eliminate them, the barrier disappeared.
Aomei paused for a moment, then raised his hand and formed seals, casting the "Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Poof!
With a burst of chakra smoke, Aomei's figure split into four.
The clones exchanged brief glances, then each headed in a different direction.
Meanwhile, at the periphery.
The Red Rain Squad, responsible for maintaining the barrier, acted in perfect sync. After confirming Danzo's death, they immediately split up and ran in different directions, without exchanging a single word.
Their goal was clear: deliver this information back to the village and await further instructions.
Unfortunately, while their intentions were sound, their strength fell short.
Even though Aomei had just experienced a fierce battle and expended chakra to summon shadow clones, these individuals were no match for him.
A few minutes later.
Aomei and his three shadow clones returned to the center of the forest.
Each held a corpse in their hands—members of the Red Rain Squad.
Tossing the bodies to the ground, Aomei surveyed the surrounding battlefield.
Both sides had fought with everything they had, leaving the forest in utter devastation.
In such a state, even an experienced scout ninja could easily deduce what had transpired here.
And that was precisely what Aomei wanted to avoid.
As for the possibility of the village failing to locate this place, Aomei deemed it unlikely.
Over the past ten days, both he and Danzo's subordinates from the Root Division had gone to great lengths to conceal their tracks.
However, Aomei didn't believe that this was enough to completely fool the village.
With a deeper investigation, Konoha would inevitably uncover some traces.
Previously, when nothing had happened, the village might have turned a blind eye.
But now, with Danzo dead, the village would undoubtedly dig deeper to find answers.
After all, Danzo was one of Konoha's elders and a prominent figure in the upper echelons of power.
If the village failed to react to such an incident, what would happen to its unity and credibility?
With this in mind, Aomei was certain that this battlefield would eventually be discovered—it was just a matter of time.
Given this, he couldn't afford to leave behind any obvious traces.
Determined, Aomei stopped wasting time and, along with his shadow clones, began cleaning up the battlefield.
Using the "Fire Release: Purging Flames Jutsu," he incinerated the corpses of Danzo and the Root ninjas, leaving no trace of them behind.
Next, he turned his attention to the surrounding forest.
Aomei's approach was simple yet effective: using various high-powered jutsu, he leveled the entire area.
By doing so, anyone hoping to extract useful information from the scene would find it nearly impossible.
Once he finished, Aomei dispelled his shadow clones.
Then, utilizing "Wind Release: Wind Wings" and "Chakra Cloak," he soared toward the village at full speed.
It was foreseeable that with Danzo's sudden death, the Root Division would descend into chaos.
And Aomei intended to take advantage of this opportunity to loot Root's treasury.
After all, his plan to take down Danzo wasn't merely about eliminating a threat; it was equally about seizing the treasures hidden within the Root Division.
As for how to accomplish this, Aomei already had a plan.
More than half an hour later.
Aomei returned to Konoha.
However, instead of appearing in his own form, he used the "Transformation Jutsu" to disguise himself as a stranger.
Although the Root Division was in disarray, it hadn't completely fallen apart yet.
Given that some members knew Danzo had left to deal with Aomei, they had already stationed agents near the village gate and Aomei's residence.
Thus, he had no choice but to conceal his movements.
After skillfully evading several Root Division lookouts, Aomei made his way to a forest on the outskirts of the village.
Beneath this forest lay Root's headquarters.
As for how he knew about it?
It was simple—when he first encountered Root ninjas, he extracted this information from their memories.
He had just never had the opportunity to act on it until now.
This moment was perfect.
Raising his hand, Aomei deactivated the "Protective Seal" on his forehead and focused his mind, activating his Byakugan.
Immediately, his vision penetrated the surroundings, revealing the hidden underground entrance.
Two Root ninjas stood guard at the entrance.
After some thought, Aomei activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and used the ability housed in his left eye—"Heaven's Dominion."
Silently, his figure disappeared.
Without wasting time, Aomei walked out from behind a tree, ignoring the two guards as he directly entered the base.
Once safely out of their line of sight, he deactivated Heaven's Dominion and revealed himself.
The base was eerily quiet, and Aomei wasn't sure where to go.
While he had learned the base's location from the memories of Root ninjas, they knew nothing about its internal layout.
Thus, finding Root's treasury would require a thorough search.
Fortunately, many of the Root ninjas were away, either accompanying Danzo during his mission or now searching for his whereabouts.
The base was sparsely populated, giving Aomei plenty of room to maneuver.
Moving swiftly through a corridor, Aomei activated his Byakugan and began exploring the headquarters.
Time passed, minute by minute.
About half an hour later.
Aomei found what he was looking for.
It was a hidden room filled with books and scrolls.
Aomei casually opened one, and its contents immediately delighted him—it detailed the training methods for the "Flying Thunder God Jutsu."
This jutsu, created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and later perfected by Minato Namikaze, was highly sought after.
Even Danzo had coveted it.
Unfortunately, he lacked the talent to master it.
Though he had copied the technique from the Scroll of Seals, he had been unable to learn it.
Aside from this, the other scrolls and books contained a wealth of techniques, ranging from common to rare.
Aomei flipped through a few and found that many recorded the secret jutsu of Konoha's various clans.
While the information wasn't complete, it was enough to reveal the extent of Danzo's ambitions.
