Chapter 302

So after Onoki passed the news back to the Cloud Village, even if Han was unwilling, he still pinched his nose and took the errand.

At this moment, looking around.

As a powerhouse who had been in the ninja world for many years and enjoyed a certain reputation, based on Han's experience, he could see at a glance that the pitted traces on the charred land around were left by Lightning Release attacks.

As everyone knew, the ninja most proficient in Lightning Release in the ninja world was of course the Cloud ninja of the Land of Lightning.

Seeing this, a trace of depth flashed in Han's eyes; in order for Han to investigate everything clearly, Onoki naturally told Han all the intelligence he had and his speculation about the situation.

Han also knew that the attack on the Rock's logistics force had a high probability of not being done by the Cloud.

Then, in this way, the situation on the scene became a bit subtle.

At the moment, Han ordered his Rock ninjas to start investigating everywhere.

And Han chose to investigate alone on this charred land; soon, the sharp-eyed Han discovered the problem.

On the charred land, a sharp kunai and a piece of dark green cloth appeared extremely abrupt.

Han's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly picked up these two things...

On the other side, when Han was investigating at the location where the Rock ninjas were attacked, Danzo, who had finished dealing with the crime scene, had already led the Root ninjas to sneak into a town on the side.

Afterward, Danzo sneaked into the homes of several townspeople without anyone knowing, and used genjutsu to implant a false memory in the minds of several townspeople.

And the content of the memory was nothing more than some fragments of Cloud ninjas appearing in the town.

Such behavior was completely familiar to Danzo.

After some operations, Danzo had "perfectly" fabricated the presence evidence of Cloud ninjas.

After dealing with everything, Danzo did not intend to leave, but found an inn in the town to stay.

Although this town in the Land of Frost was not big, it was not small either.

The inn Danzo found was not the inn where Mizunuki Ryosuke was staying.

After checking into the inn, Danzo was not in a hurry to take action, but waited until late at night.

Looking at the pitch-black night outside the window, Danzo's eyes were full of sinister meaning...

He was very clear about Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts and instructions, but this time, he did not intend to act completely according to Sarutobi Hiruzen's instructions.

Since Sarutobi Hiruzen did not intend to take the initiative to launch a war against the Rock, what if the Rock chose to take the initiative to attack the Leaf first?

At that time, could Sarutobi Hiruzen still sit still?

Man can conquer nature; if there is no opportunity, create one yourself. This was the truth that Danzo had always believed in.

And at that time, it would be Danzo's opportunity to go on an expedition and rise to the top.

"I suppose the 'evidence' left there during the day..."

"The Rock ninjas have already found it."

"Sarutobi, let's wait and see..."

Danzo thought sinisterly in his heart.

After the sky was completely dark, Danzo slowly got up, pushed the door open, and walked out.

The light outside the door distorted Danzo's shadow, making him look like an evil and morbid demon.

Several hours ago, Han looked at the dark green cloth and sharp kunai in his hand, his eyes flickering.

These two things obviously carried a lot of trickery.

Looking at the dark green cloth in his hand, a trace of depth flashed in Han's eyes; according to the material and color of the fabric, Han had already determined that this was the clothing of a Leaf ninja.

Among the five major ninja villages in the ninja world, although the clothing of the Rock, Leaf, and Sand ninjas were all greenish vests.

But in fact, the Rock's vest was more inclined to earth yellow, and the Sand's vest was more inclined to yellow; only the Leaf ninja's clothing was the purest dark green.

As for the Mist and Cloud, they were other clothing with completely different styles.

Not only that, although the weapons used in the five major countries of the ninja world were mostly composed of basic blade tools such as kunai, senbon, and shuriken, the styles were basically the same.

But because of national conditions and forging technology, there were subtle differences in these weapons.

The kunai in front of him, as long as an expert looked at it, could recognize that this was a weapon forged in the Land of Fire.

These "evidence" that appeared seemed to prove that the process of the matter was the same as the speculation Onoki had told Han before: it was the Leaf ninjas who did it.

But Han had doubts about this in his heart, even if all the suspicion was locked on the Leaf at the moment.

But if the Leaf ninjas did it, it was impossible for them to be so unprofessional and leave such obvious evidence.

Therefore, Han did not rush to a conclusion, but waited for the results of other Rock ninjas who were searching.

After a period of time, the Rock ninjas gathered all the findings together and reported to Han.

Looking at the results in front of him, Han's expression changed subtly.

Except for the Rock ninja corpses that had been completely burned in the fire, what was placed in front of Han at the moment were some broken corpses of Cloud ninjas.

These Cloud ninja corpses looked dilapidated and were difficult to piece together completely; after identification by Rock ninjas who were good at searching corpses, the death time of these Cloud ninjas was exactly the time when the Rock transport team was attacked.

Next to the rubble, there was half a broken forehead protector; although it was not roasted charred, the cloud-pattern style on it could still be clearly seen.

Not only that, the most important thing was that on the other side, there was a complete corpse wearing a Leaf Mist Anbu mask!

Even when it was discovered, the blood of this corpse had not completely coagulated!

You know, this was the tundra of the Land of Frost! The blood had not coagulated, indicating that the death time of this ninja was extremely short.

"Where was this corpse found?"

Han asked the Rock ninja who found the corpse on the side.

"Reporting to you, my lord, this corpse was not found here, but I excavated it about one kilometer away from here."

The Rock ninja replied.

The Rock ninjas who could follow Han to investigate here were all ninjas with tracking specialties, so it was not surprising to find a corpse one kilometer away.

"Were the burial traces of the corpse hidden?"

Han asked again, his brows locked together.

"No."

The Rock ninja shook his head and replied very simply.

Countless intelligence and information intersected and gathered in Han's heart, and Han closed his eyes and thought deeply.

The evidence found at the moment seemed very messy, making everything more and more confusing, but the sharp glint in Han's eyes became clearer and clearer.

First of all, according to Onoki's statement, it was impossible for the Cloud to attack the logistics force, because at this moment the main force of the Cloud was all blocked in the Land of Lightning and had no ability to gather a force with at least three thousand ninja combat power.

Under this premise, the Cloud ninja corpses and forehead protector fragments found at the moment seemed very reasonable, and the death time also matched, but they were full of loopholes and unreasonable places.

Looking at the kunai and Leaf ninja clothing fragments found by Han, at first glance, these two things were placed on the ground without any concealment, as if waiting for people to discover them; they looked like false clues left by someone deliberately to frame Leaf ninjas.

At the same time, on the other side, this complete Leaf ninja corpse was not hidden in any way and was simply buried one kilometer away from the crime scene, as if it was also waiting for others to discover it.

Adding the two together, at first glance, it seemed that someone was deliberately framing the Leaf.

So according to common sense, the current result was already ready to come out.

The Cloud launched an attack on the Rock's logistics force in the middle of the night, and after a fierce battle, left behind several companion corpses that were not handled in time.

Afterward, in order to cover up the scene and shift the blame, the Cloud left items with Leaf ninja symbols at the scene, and for this, they did not hesitate to kill a Leaf Mist Anbu.

It seemed that everything had come to light.

But in fact, it was full of loopholes, and in Han's view, it was even more suspicious.

Because the process of discovering the Leaf ninja clues was too simple, so simple that it was as if someone was afraid that others would not find them.

If the Cloud intended to frame the Leaf, would they do it with so many loopholes?

Abnormal events must have demons; if someone was deliberately framing, it should not be done to such a shallow degree, at least it should be like...

Thinking of this, Han's gaze suddenly shifted to the side of the Leaf ninja corpse——to the pile of Cloud ninja corpses that could not be pieced together.

So, is there a possibility?

The Leaf ninja corpse, kunai, and cloth fragments were all deliberately left behind.

Instead, these Cloud ninja corpses were "false evidence" used to frame and set up a false trail.

Up to here, Han had almost confirmed his speculation, because everything had one most important piece of evidence.

——That was this Leaf ninja corpse!
