They should start saying, “For Lord Danzo Shimura of Konoha!” when detonating the explosions. Draw all the attention to Danzo. He’s the one responsible for this strategy of letting Uzu die. Let all the wrath from the enemy villages go to Danzo Shimura. In fact, once the war is over, dress your shinobi as Root members and commit atrocities in his name. Steal tailed beasts, steal precious artifacts, steal secret jutsu, steal money, etc. Every time, make sure to yell, “For Lord Danzo Shimura of Konoha! All will fall before his might! To the future Hokage Danzo Shimura!” Who cares if it’s over-the-top? Some people will likely believe Danzo is raising fanatics who are really doing things in his name.
