"S, steal the Italians' gold, you say? You coward, Ushiromiya! And you call yourself a soldier of the Empire?!!"

But yes, by suggedting to steal it he might have instigated the fight.

Technically Yasu too instigated the fight as she presented the adults with gold and guns... although it's also possible she couldn't guess the adults would start murdering each other over the gold.

This still won't deny the possibility that, although she planned to murder someone, when the real murdering started, she had a panic attack and tried to escape... or that the same could have happened to Kinzo.

Kinzo might have also been honest in saying he enrolled into the military because he hated his life and longed to die but didn't have the gut to pull the trigger himself... then saw Beatrice and decided that getting her and the gold was a better option and abandoned himself to a different roulette of fate.

Would they really speak about it? Talking about it would require them to explain many things in which they were accomplices, like closing their eyes when Kinzo committed incest, hiding Yasu from his family, hiding Kinzo's death, hiding how they handed the money to Yasu and how Yasu bribed them into playing in his game or how Kinzo kept some illegal gold in a room and they knew it (and their paycheek could come from it). Genji and Nanjo might also be forced to confess that Yasu actually planned to murder people for real and they were bribed/blackmailed into keeping silent.
Kumasawa and Gohda though probably don't know much about Yasu's plans as they were thinking it was all a joke.
And Rudolf and Kyrie wouldn't say they were the only survivors, just that they got there later and couldn't find the others.
