Chapter 24: That’s All Konoha Got
Nagasawa reminded Kusagakure's Kage: "Since we rejected Root's cooperation. They might hate us and take revenge on us. We have to be careful."
The leader smiled confidently: "Although we're just a small village, we won't be outdone by a single organization in Konoha."
Seeing that the leader was so confident, Nagasawa did not say anything else. His goal was to instill caution in the Kage's heart. That way, when the operation was executed, the Kage would immediately suspect Danzo and Root without him saying anything because he already had the information that Root might cause trouble.
The Kage looked at Nagasawa's proposal and commented. "Although it can't be called perfect, it's clever enough."
In the proposal, Nagasawa would send someone to pretend to be a friend of the four missing Kusagakure Shinobis to attract the attention of Konoha's spies in the village.
On the way to investigate the Shinobi, Nagasawa would throw out more clues little by little that would lead the spy to where the intel was kept.
Aside from the intel of the four missing Shinobis, the rest of the intel was unimportant and fake. Nagasawa even stationed a few guards outside that room to make the idea more realistic.
Hearing the Kage praising him, Nagasawa only faintly smiled as he came up with this "clever" plan in minutes.
After leaving the Kage's office, Nagasawa began to execute the plan in an orderly manner.
Sending the fake friend, setting up the fake intel, and everything else was arranged properly.
A Kusagakure Anbu praised, "Morishita-sama is really amazing. The Konoha Shinobis must have thought that they were skilled enough to steal the information. Little did they know that it was all part of our plan."
