Under the leadership of Kakashi, the Anbu's Sixth Squad only took five days to reach the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass, and in the afternoon of the same day, they arrived at the destroyed village.
Outside the village, several Wood Leaf Ninjas were stationed. They came from the border and were temporarily transferred to protect the scene.
After Kakashi handed them over, he took Cold Wind and others into the village.
Everywhere they looked, there were ruins and the corpses of the villagers were everywhere. The walls and the ground were also full of solidified blood. The scene was extremely bloody!
Kakashi waved his hand, and everyone immediately scattered to search.
Kakashi himself also summoned his ninja dogs and let them move around.
Cold Wind Shadow's doppelganger walked to one of the corpses and fiddled with it. Soon, he confirmed that he died from a Kunai. Moreover, the ninja who did it wasn't nimble enough, and the wound on his throat was a little 'rough'.
Cold Wind's Shadow Clone checked more than ten corpses in succession and found that although the cause of death was different, the fatal injuries were extremely unprofessional. It looked like the work of wandering ninjas.
"Wandering ninjas?" On the other side, Waterstop also checked more than ten corpses and got the same result as Cold Wind.
In fact, the three previous incidents in the Country of Fire were investigated by the other Anbu teams and they also concluded that wandering ninjas were the culprits. But after a deeper search, they found that this group of 'wandering ninjas' was nowhere to be found.
"Maybe they deliberately disguised themselves as wandering ninjas."
Cold Wind's Shadow Clone was very imaginative and said, "This kind of injury, we can also do it."
As he spoke, he took out his kunai and made a very rough cut on one of the corpses.
Waterstop frowned slightly, feeling that it was a bit disrespectful to the corpse, but seeing the wound made by Cold Wind's Shadow Clone, he had to admit that his guess was reasonable.
At this time, Kakashi also came from behind. He heard the conversation between Cold Wind's Shadow Clone and Waterstop. He muttered, "Because the target has been the wandering ninjas, so the previous three incidents have no results?"
"Captain Kakashi."
Waterstop asked, "If all this is really a disguise, what is the purpose of the other party?"
Kakashi's heart skipped a beat.
Because it was an acquaintance who committed the crime, he deliberately disguised himself to guide the investigation of the Wood Leaf Black Operation?
However, Kakashi didn't voice his conjecture to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Woof woof woof …"
At this time, Kakashi's psychic ninja dog also ran back, but unfortunately, it didn't bring back any useful information.
Not long after, the rest of the team members returned one after another, bringing back the results of their search.
Unfortunately, there was no useful information.
"Captain Kakashi, should we expand the search area?"
"It's been six or seven days since we discovered it and rushed over. The other party might have already disappeared."
Everyone discussed among themselves, and in the end, they all looked at Kakashi.
Kakashi kept his eyes downcast, thinking about the possibility of an acquaintance committing the crime. But after removing Orochi Maru from Wood Leaf, who else would be crazy enough to do such a thing?
Root?
Impossible!
Although Root was ruthless and had no bottom line, Danzō, who prided himself on being the dark side of Wood Leaf, would never do such a thing.
If it wasn't an acquaintance within Wood Leaf, then it had to be an ally.
Wind Country?
Grass Country?
Right, the destruction of villages seemed to only happen within the borders of large countries.
Kakashi's gaze slowly fell on the Grass Country.
After burying all the corpses, Kakashi led his subordinates across the border and entered the territory of the Grass Country.
Cold Wind Shadow's doppelganger followed behind, slowly thinking.
Although there was no direct evidence that all of this was done by the Akatsuki, his intuition told him that it was the Akatsuki who did it. As for the Akatsuki's purpose … Cold Wind's Shadow Clone remembered the Akatsuki's "split up" plan.
The first step of the Akatsuki was to do missions to earn money.
Since Kakuzu joined the Akatsuki three years ago, the Akatsuki had eight official members. After three years, the Akatsuki should have earned a lot, so the second step was to do missions.
The second step of the Akatsuki was to monopolize the war between small countries.
The Akatsuki deliberately left clues of the wandering ninjas in the large countries. The real purpose of the Akatsuki should be to make the hidden villages suspect the small countries around them, so as to drive a wedge between the large countries and the small countries.
In this way, once a war breaks out in the small countries, the war commission will be difficult to fall into the hands of the large countries.
At that time, the Akatsuki will take the initiative to reduce the commission fee, and the war commission of the small countries will fall into the hands of the Organizations.
The more Cold Wind's Shadow Clone thought about it, the more he thought about it!
Unfortunately, these were all his guesses based on the Organizations, and there was no evidence.
One day later.
Kakashi and the others encountered Kusanagi Ninjas in the Kusanagi Country. The two sides were allies, so there was no tension when they met. However, when Kakashi asked about the destruction of the village, Kusanagi Ninjas suddenly became alert.
A few days ago, the Rock Village also sent their Rock Ninjas to inquire about similar incidents, and the two sides were very unhappy. Now that the Wood Leaf Ninjas also came, it was simply bullying the Grass Ninjas!
Feeling the hostility of the Grass Ninjas, Kakashi and the others also became alert. The harmonious relationship between the two sides gradually became stiff, and after a few words, the two sides left in a bad mood.
"Captain Kakashi, the Grass Ninjas' attitude is strange."
"Is the destruction of villages caused by the Grass Ninjas?"
"The Grass Country is sandwiched between the Fire and Earth Countries, and I remember that a small village in the Earth Country was also destroyed."
"The Grass Ninjas are very suspicious!"
After finding a place to camp, the members of the Sixth Team spoke enthusiastically, and the more they talked, the more they felt that the Grass Ninjas were suspicious.
Cold Wind's Shadow Clone couldn't stand it anymore and said: "In addition to the Fire and Earth Countries, the Lightning Country and the Wind Country were also destroyed. This is not something the Grass Ninjas can do. I think there is a mastermind behind all of this, trying to provoke the relationship between the big countries and the small countries. "
Everyone looked at each other. Cold Wind's words sounded reasonable at first, but after careful consideration, it lacked factual basis. After all, who would be bored enough to provoke the relationship between the big countries and the small countries?
It's impossible to let the small countries declare war on the big countries and start a Shinobi World War, right?
This is obviously impossible.
And if the big countries declare war on the small countries, the big countries will benefit in the end, so they don't agree with Cold Wind's Shadow Clone's speculation.
Cold Wind's Shadow Clone was also helpless, and thought: 'Forget it, I will go back to the Naruto Building and tell Po Shui Mun my thoughts.'
The next day, Kakashi continued to lead people to look for clues in the Grass Country, but found that there were Grass Ninjas behind them.
The members of the Sixth Team were angry at that time, but fortunately, Kakashi restrained them in time, otherwise, the relationship between the two countries would be strained today.
"Let's go back."
Cold Wind's Shadow Clone suggested, "If we stay here, it will only affect the relationship between the two countries, and this is not what Naruto -sama wants to see."
Waterstop was also aware that the situation may be out of control, and persuaded Kakashi with Cold Wind's Shadow Clone.
Kakashi nodded slightly and ordered the evacuation of the Grass Country with a dignified face.
