We can do that, but it shouldn't be the only thing we do. Multi-pronged strategies designed to distract and misdirect them from the real threat would make infiltration far, far easier.

Kumo is the only landmass with a shore near Kirigakure. So we inform them that Kirigakure is mobilizing its forces, making aggressive movements. That their attention is poised on Kumo, thinking that they could take advantage of it weakened state. Of course it will be wrong. At first.

Then we infiltrate Kirigakure, buy off some pirates, dispose of warlords, make new ones. In general just causing a whole lot of ruckus. Obviously Kirigakure will have to retaliate, they can't afford to look weak now, that they cant take care of problems within their own borders. So they start mobilizing forces.

Kumogakure start's getting reports that Kirigakure is mobilizing, and then they think back to how Konoha tried to warn them before and they didn't listen. Well now their listening, and they want our help. But we can't be seen actively supporting them so we agree to send a few spies into Kirigakure and help them get into Kirigakure.

Then we tell our spies there to expose Kumogakure spies. Escalation is a beautiful thing. Then we see the fireworks as both villages prep for war. Then we can make our move as we destabilize Kirigakure's infrastructure.
