Chapter 570: , This Wave? This Wave is an Old Thousand-Layer Cake

Almost identical to Mizunuki Ryosuke's assumption, Sarutobi Hiruzen chose to send Shimura Danzo, this "dirty work professional," to handle the matter in the Land of Frost, to prevent what happened in the Land of Frost from affecting Konoha.

But Danzo's handling method was simply "subtle."

After listening to the series of actions of Danzo reported by Kaguya Yuta, Mizunuki Ryosuke was simply overjoyed in his heart.

Danzo's initial actions seemed to be beyond reproach, and also conformed to Sarutobi Hiruzen's order for him to come and "clean up the mess."

But in the end, he deliberately left clues of Konoha ninjas, and even killed a Root ninja to deliberately leave such a big flaw. Mizunuki Ryosuke did not believe that Danzo was playing the "empty is real" set.

There was another reason for this, and Mizunuki Ryosuke also roughly guessed one or two.

Obviously, on this chessboard, Shimura Danzo, who was a "piece" in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand, was not satisfied with his identity as a piece. He wanted to be a "chess player," and even wanted to get rid of Sarutobi Hiruzen's control.

So from Danzo's perspective, an interesting scene appeared.

In his view, Iwagakure's logistics troops were attacked and wiped out, and the culprit must be Kumogakure.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sent him to clean up the mess for Konoha, and the idea was correct, representing the interests of the village.

But the village's was the village's, and his Shimura Danzo's own was his own.

So in this, Shimura Danzo wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to seek benefits for himself.

What Danzo sought was also very simple, and that was an opportunity to go to the battlefield to obtain military merit, whitewash himself, and move toward the front.

At the moment, several great generals under Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sannin and Hatake Sakumo, had already been dragged down by the Rain Ninjas and Sunagakure.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu in the Hokage quartet had long been out of battle, and coupled with the critical moment of giving birth, they would definitely not want to go to the battlefield.

And if the Uchiha and Hyuga were allowed to be commanders on the battlefield, this obviously did not conform to the interests of Sarutobi Hiruzen and even the entire Hokage quartet plus the many small ninja clans of Konoha.

Therefore, after thinking about it, once the war broke out, Danzo felt that he was the most suitable candidate for commander.

So, he intended to take advantage of this juncture to push the Rock Ninjas to the opposite side of Konoha and induce the Rock Ninjas to launch a war against Konoha.

And without a doubt, this "black pot" of attacking Iwagakure's logistics troops was the best opportunity.

Of course, Danzo was not stupid. He would not be stupid enough to choose to directly anger Iwagakure and directly pin the shit pot of attacking the Rock Ninja logistics troops on Konoha.

Otherwise, he would leave on the front foot, and Iwagakure would declare war on Konoha on the back foot. Wouldn't this clearly show that his previous work was not done well, leading to the Rock Ninjas declaring war on Konoha, and he would smash his own heel and become the "number one war criminal."

If it were really like this, what kind of commander would he be?

He would not only get the name of "doing things unfavorably" but would also be doubly suspected by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Then was there any relatively "compromise" method?

One that could push the Rock Ninjas to the opposite side of Konoha, let the Rock Ninjas launch a war against Konoha, and also delay the time for this war to start, making it seem like it had nothing to do with Shimura Danzo?

The answer was naturally yes.

Since it seemed inappropriate for Konoha to carry this "pot" entirely, it would be fine to find someone to "share the pot."

Therefore, Danzo deliberately left traces of Konoha ninjas when cleaning up the scene. The purpose was not at all to use the "empty is real" set to help Konoha clear its suspicion. ===== CHAPTER 572 =====
