I had no intention of disappearing. ( intention is a noun ) I had no time to do that ( time is also a noun) I had not an intention of disappearing. X I did not have an intention of leaving I had not + past particle verb ( seen ,been, gone etc)

The word 'no' belongs to the noun 'intention', not to the verb. The noun phrase 'no intention' is part of the object of this sentence. Grammatically, 'no' is a determiner in this sentence, similar to 'any' and 'some'. I had [no intention of disappearing] = I didn't have [any intention of disappearing].

as far as I know,only when the word "have"(has/had) is used in the perfect tense,will it be followed by a "not". eg. I have done something (negative)→ I have not done something it's uesd with "don't" or "no" when it's describing that you have something(property,idea,etc.) eg. I have one dollar → I don't have one dollar I have money → I have no money the above is my own understanding,welcome correction.
