Chapter 303

Under the premise that it was known that the Cloud could not send a large-scale combat force to the Land of Frost...

This Leaf ninja corpse that appeared here became the biggest loophole and flaw!

The most critical evidence was the death time of this Leaf ninja!

After judgment, the death time of this Leaf ninja was about five hours ago.

Excluding the confusion caused by all other evidence whose authenticity could not be determined, at least it could prove one thing, that is, five hours ago, this Leaf ninja had been to this place.

So the question arises, five hours ago, why did this Leaf ninja come here?

And who killed him?

Han picked up the broken clothing fragments and kunai and came to the side of this Leaf ninja corpse.

After some investigation, Han clearly saw that there was a clear missing piece in the lower right corner of this Leaf ninja's clothing, and when he placed the cloth fragment in his hand on the missing part for comparison, he found that it formed a perfect overlap.

Han looked at the kunai in his hand again; it seemed just right to cut off this corner of the clothing...

Up to here, Han had roughly inferred the truth in his heart, and had at least ninety percent certainty.

Five hours ago, this Leaf ninja and his companions came here together; they first disguised many traces of Lightning Release attacks on the ground.

Afterward, they buried the Cloud ninja corpses underground and left behind broken Cloud ninja forehead protectors.

Finally, because of some reason, this Leaf ninja was killed by his companions, buried here, and his clothing corner and a kunai produced in the Land of Fire were left behind to set up a false trail.

The purpose was to use the method of "truth and falsehood" to confuse Han who came to investigate, making Han have the thought that "such obvious evidence must be a frame-up."

Compared to the Leaf ninja corpse and cloth kunai that were easily found, the Cloud ninja corpses and forehead protector fragments that the Rock ninjas spent time and effort to dig out from the ground, didn't they look more convincing?

Up to here, everything had truly come to light.

And why did the Leaf ninjas go to great lengths to forge evidence at the scene, trying to frame the Cloud ninjas?

The answer was naturally ready to come out——that was, the real culprit of this attack was originally the Leaf ninjas!

And this was also completely consistent with Tsuchikage Onoki's initial speculation.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, a trace of depth flashed in Han's eyes.

Finally, he looked at the town on the side, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Let's go, there might be something else in the town next to us."

After speaking, Han walked toward the town first; behind him, a Rock ninja asked with some hesitation.

"Lord Han, what about these corpses..."

Hearing this, Han's footsteps did not stop at all, and he even said without looking back.

"Bury them, they are useless."

Seeing this situation, a Rock ninja performed Earth Release and buried all the Cloud ninja corpses and the Leaf ninja corpse under this charred land.

Perhaps next spring, the flowers blooming here would be more vibrant than in other places.

In the town, Mizunuki Ryosuke listened to the situation reported by Kaguya Yuta, and a little interest appeared in his eyes.

"Interesting..."

He didn't expect that this time the Leaf would actually choose to send Danzo.

This was really great!

This was really like someone sending a pillow when he was sleepy; he was just worried about the pressure when throwing this pot out, and the Leaf sent the "Pot King" directly. If he didn't make good use of it, wouldn't he be unworthy of Danzo's title of "Darkness of the Ninja World."

Previously, after successfully attacking the Rock's logistics force, Mizunuki Ryosuke let the intelligence personnel in the Land of Frost find a way to reveal everything to the Leaf at the first opportunity.

Mizunuki Ryosuke predicted that after the Leaf learned this news, they would definitely choose to intervene.

And seizing this opportunity was the best chance to drag the Leaf into the water.

All of Mizunuki Ryosuke's plans utilized the differences caused by the asymmetry of information and intelligence on his side.

At present, whether it was the Cloud, the Rock, or the Leaf, all three parties were kept in the dark.

Bee, who had been following Mizunuki Ryosuke, also had no opportunity to pass intelligence to the Cloud far away in the Land of Lightning.

And because of this, because the information they came into contact with was different, the way the three viewed problems was also completely different.

At the moment, the only one who mastered all the situations was Mizunuki Ryosuke, who planned this attack, and because he mastered these, Mizunuki Ryosuke could plan against the three major countries to his heart's content.

The so-called knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, winning every battle, was just like this.

First of all, on the Rock side, as the party directly suffering losses, the Rock's mastery of all information and intelligence was second only to Mizunuki Ryosuke.

The Rock knew in its heart that the Cloud did not have the ability to attack its logistics line, and after excluding the Cloud, the Rock would naturally suspect the Leaf.

And for the Leaf, after learning the news that the Rock's logistics line was destroyed, the Leaf would subconsciously think that this must be the Cloud's handiwork.

Because the Leaf was completely unaware of the news that the Cloud was blocked in the Land of Lightning and could not break through.

The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and the intelligence of the battle between the Cloud and the Rock was top-secret; even for the Leaf, it was impossible to obtain the current situation of the Cloud casually.

In this case, what would Sarutobi Hiruzen, as Hokage, think?

Based on Mizunuki Ryosuke's understanding of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he would definitely be eager to clear the relationship between the Leaf and this matter, and there was even a high possibility that Sarutobi Hiruzen would rely on the advantage of being closer to the Land of Frost to send people to "clean up the mess."

.... 0

In this back-and-forth, Mizunuki Ryosuke had room to "operate" from within.

Of course, even if the Leaf remained silent, Mizunuki Ryosuke had plenty of ways to lead this fire to the Leaf.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen's actions would also become a move of "being too clever only to defeat one's own purpose" and "bringing disaster upon oneself."

For the Cloud, who still knew nothing, they would be dragged into the frontal battlefield by the Rock ninjas who "suddenly went crazy" and launched a large-scale offensive; as for whether the Cloud was happy or worried, it would depend on what the Third Raikage thought.

But what Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't expect was that this time the Leaf side would actually have Danzo come in person.

Danzo's personal arrival almost already indicated that Mizunuki Ryosuke's speculation was very correct, and everything was developing in the direction Mizunuki Ryosuke expected.

And Danzo was Danzo, not disappointing Mizunuki Ryosuke in the slightest.

Listening to Kaguya Yuta's description of Danzo's various behaviors, a smile appeared on Mizunuki Ryosuke's face.

His plan could succeed, and he really had to thank Danzo for saving him a lot of trouble.

"Brother Danzo, thank you for your trouble."

"One does not worry about too many debts, and one does not feel the bite of too many lice."

Recalling the incident in the Land of Rain last time, a look of emotion appeared on Mizunuki Ryosuke's face.

The feeling of having someone behind you to take the blame for you was really too cool.

You can never imagine Sarutobi Hiruzen's happiness.
