Chapter 567: , Framing and Counter-Framing

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 nearby town.

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 fragments of Kumogakure ninjas appearing in the town.

Such behavior was completely familiar to Danzo.

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

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

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 did not rush to take action, but waited until late at night.

Looking at the dark 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 actively launch a war against Iwagakure, what if Iwagakure chose to take the initiative to attack Konoha?

At that time, would Sarutobi Hiruzen still be able to sit still?

Man proposes, God disposes; if there is no opportunity, create one yourself. This was the truth Danzo had always believed in.

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

"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 turned completely dark, Danzo stood up slowly, pushed the door open, and walked out.

The light outside the door pulled Danzo's shadow into a distorted shape, looking like an evil and morbid demon.

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

These two things clearly carried many tricks.

Looking at the dark green cloth piece in his hand, a trace of depth flashed in Han's eyes. Based on the material and color of the fabric, Han had already determined that this was the attire of a Konoha ninja.

Among the five great ninja villages in the Ninja World, although the attire of Iwagakure, Konoha, and Sunagakure ninjas were all greenish vests.

But in reality, Iwagakure's vests were more inclined to earth yellow, while Sunagakure's vests were more inclined to yellow; only Konoha ninjas' attire was the purest dark green.

As for Kirigakure and Kumogakure, they were other attires with completely different styles.

Not only that, although the weapons used in the five great nations of the Ninja World were mostly composed of basic bladed tools such as kunai, senbon, and shuriken, the styles were basically the same.

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

The kunai in front of him, as long as an expert took a look, 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 previously told Han: the ones who took action were Konoha ninjas.

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

But if Konoha ninjas took action, it was impossible for them to be so amateurish and leave such conspicuous evidence.

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

After a while, the Rock Ninjas gathered all the findings and reported to Han.

Looking at the results in front of him, Han's expression showed a subtle change.

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 fragmented corpses of Cloud Ninjas.

These Cloud Ninja corpses looked broken and could hardly be pieced together completely. After identification by Rock Ninjas who were good at searching corpses, the time of death of these Cloud Ninjas was exactly the time when the Rock Ninja transport team was attacked.

Beside the rubble, there was half a shattered forehead protector. Although it was roasted until scorched black, the cloud-pattern style on it could still be seen clearly.

Not only that, the most important thing was that on the other side, there was a complete corpse wearing a Konoha 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 time of death of this ninja was extremely short.

"Where was this corpse found?"

Han asked the Rock Ninja who found this corpse on the side.

"Reporting to you, my lord, this corpse was not found here, but I unearthed 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 converged 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 Kumogakure to attack the logistics troops, because at this moment, Kumogakure's main force was all blocked in the Land of Lightning and had no ability to gather a force with at least 3,000 ninja combat power.

Under this premise, the fragmented corpses and forehead protector fragments of the Cloud Ninjas at the moment seemed to exist very reasonably, and the time of death also matched, but they were full of loopholes and unreasonable places.

Looking at the kunai and Konoha ninja attire fragments found by Han, at first glance, these two things were placed on the ground without any concealment, as if waiting for someone to discover them. They looked like fake clues deliberately left by someone to frame Konoha ninjas.

At the same time, on the other side, this complete Konoha ninja corpse was buried simply one kilometer away from the crime scene without any concealment, 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 Konoha.

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

In the middle of the night, Kumogakure launched an attack on Iwagakure's logistics troops. After a fierce battle, they left behind several companion corpses that they didn't have time to deal with.

Afterward, in order to cover up the scene and divert the disaster, Kumogakure left items with Konoha ninja symbols at the scene, and for this, they even spared no effort to kill a Konoha Mist Anbu.

It seemed that everything had come to light.

And there were loopholes everywhere in this, which in Han's view were even more suspicious.

Because the process of discovering the Konoha ninja clues was too simple, so simple that it was as if people were afraid that others would not discover them.

If Kumogakure intended to frame Konoha, would they do it with so many loopholes?

Abnormal things must have demons. If someone deliberately framed them, they shouldn't just reach such a shallow level, at least they should be like...

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

So, is it possible?

The Konoha ninja's corpse, as well as the kunai and cloth fragments, were deliberately left behind.

Instead, this pair of Cloud Ninja fragmented corpses was "fake evidence" used to frame and set up a false trail.

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

—That was this Konoha ninja's corpse! ===== CHAPTER 569 =====
