Chapter 554: , The Perfect Method of Elimination

A detective once said, "Shinjitsu wa itsumo hitotsu!"

Ahem.

It is that there is only one truth!

At first glance, Kumogakure, which is at war with Iwagakure, is the one with the most strength and the most motivation to do this.

But Kitsuchi's report just now undoubtedly completely cleared Kumogakure of "suspicion."

Under Iwagakure's blockade, Kumogakure simply could not break through the defense line of the Land of the Moon and had no ability to project large-scale troops behind Iwagakure.

So Kumogakure, which was originally the most likely, has now become the least likely.

Since the other side can make all six transport teams disappear silently, this shows that the other side's action was premeditated, which is to say, this was an action aimed at Iwagakure.

There is no possibility of "accidental injury" or "lying down and getting shot."

Kumogakure, which had the "motive," has been completely excluded because of insufficient conditions for committing the crime. Onoki can only start from other aspects to find the "culprit."

Since it is impossible to analyze from the motive, Onoki can only settle for the next best thing and analyze from the level of "conditions for committing the crime" who exactly played dirty against Iwagakure.

In fact, in Onoki's heart, he has almost completely locked the "suspects" on the Five Great Ninja Villages that also come from great nations.

At the same time, only the Five Great Ninja Villages have the ability to gather such a force silently.

That is to say, in the screening of "conditions for committing the crime," except for Iwagakure and Kumogakure, the other three major ninja villages are all suspicious!

The remaining three are Kirigakure, Sunagakure, and Konoha.

And among them, Kirigakure and Sunagakure are thousands of miles away, and almost instantly Onoki completely excluded the suspicion of Kirigakure and Sunagakure.

First of all, the most impossible one is Sunagakure. Although Iwagakure and Sunagakure have had friction for many years, they have never broken out into a large-scale war.

Sunagakure's remote geographical conditions also determine that Sunagakure cannot have the ability to reach the crime scene.

Not to mention, the current Sunagakure is at war with Konoha, and getting involved in the war between Kumogakure and Iwagakure, that would be unless Sunagakure is completely crazy.

As for Kirigakure, although the two sides are a pair of old enemies.

Whether it is motive or conditions, Kirigakure has them, but it is still that problem.

If Kirigakure sends troops to harass Iwagakure's logistics line, they must pass through Iwagakure's sensory range from the route, and the large Iwagakure army stationed in the Land of the Moon cannot be unaware.

So the reason for excluding Kirigakure is similar to Kumogakure.

Furthermore, the current Kirigakure is sitting on the sidelines and there is no need to get involved in the war between Kumogakure and Iwagakure. Onoki put himself in the position of the Kirigakure Mizukage and felt that the possibility of Kirigakure actively getting involved in the war was also minimal.

And according to Onoki's understanding, the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure has just succeeded to the throne for two years, and I am afraid that control of the village is a problem, let alone rashly launching a war.

That is to say, although Sunagakure and Kirigakure satisfy the strength to commit the crime, they do not have the "space" to commit the crime.

And so, Onoki perfectly excluded the real "culprit."

Having finished talking about those whose suspicion has been "excluded," now it is time to talk about the "suspect" that Onoki has almost identified in his heart.

Thinking about it, there is only one who has the ability to do this and has the space to commit the crime—Konoha!

Thinking of this, Onoki clenched his fists.

The reason why he chose to launch an attack on the Land of the Moon was because he saw that the Ninja World hegemon, Konoha, was currently entangled by Amegakure and Sunagakure and could not spare his hands to interfere with his invasion of the Land of the Moon.

First, talk about the motive.

Although from the surface, Iwagakure's invasion of the Land of the Moon controlled by Kumogakure has nothing to do with Konoha.

But in fact, controlling the Land of the Moon is only the first step of Onoki's plan. Next, after he stands firm, he will choose to attack the Land of Frost and the Tian Zhiguo controlled by Konoha.

If Konoha has seen through his thoughts, it is natural for them to interfere with Iwagakure's invasion of the Land of the Moon.

Plus, Konoha and Kumogakure have an alliance relationship on the surface.

So although Konoha is currently fighting two enemies and cannot take care of itself, it does not rule out that Konoha will choose to launch an attack on Iwagakure's logistics to help Kumogakure, who is an ally.

Let's talk about the conditions for committing the crime.

As the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse.

Although Konoha is fighting fiercely with Amegakure and Sunagakure on the battlefield, as far as Onoki knows.

Konoha's older generation of powerhouses are almost all unmoved. With Konoha's foundation, sending one or two Kage-level powerhouses and then gathering thousands of ninjas who can fight is simply not a problem.

Finally, the most fatal thing is that Konoha is too close to Iwagakure's logistics supply line!

Konoha completely possesses the most perfect "space for committing the crime."

Both the Tian Zhiguo and the Land of Frost border Konoha's territory.

So Konoha is fully capable of launching an attack on a target within the Tian Zhiguo and the Land of Frost within 24 hours, and then retreating to the Land of Fire unscathed.

In summary, the "culprit" seems to be self-evident.

"Konoha!!!"

Onoki said through gritted teeth, the cold light in his eyes almost wanting to spray out.

Although Onoki has no evidence at the moment, the stubborn Onoki has almost identified that it was Konoha who did it!

"Father, what should we do now?"

Kitsuchi looked at the thin Tsuchikage with slightly worried eyes.

Hearing the sound, Onoki did not speak, and his eyes flashed with uncertain colors.

"How many more days can our supplies last?"

Onoki asked Kitsuchi, his voice carrying a hint of determination.

"According to the current battle situation, our medical supplies will be exhausted in five days."

"In ten days, our explosive tags and ninja tools will have gaps, and after fifteen days, our food and grass will also be cut off."

Kitsuchi said in a low voice, his face extremely ugly.

"Five days—"

Onoki muttered to himself.

He knew clearly in his heart that even if he immediately ordered the village to raise supplies and set off again to transport to the Land of the Moon, it would take at least half a month.

That is to say, before Iwagakure's food and grass are completely cut off, Iwagakure's next batch of supplies can possibly arrive.

This is not all. The most critical thing is that Iwagakure's logistics route has already had huge hidden dangers.

Since the other side can attack Iwagakure's logistics line once, naturally there will be a second and a third time! ===== CHAPTER 556 =====
