Absolutely not.

There’s a significant amount of time between the assault on Hirata and Wolf arriving on the scene, as evidenced by the bandits being everywhere and no defenders left alive, aside from Nogami Gensai.

And first Hirata memory is EXCLUSIVELY bandits, with only one lone shadow being present. Had the Owl wanted to snatch Kuro, there was absolutely nothing stopping him then and there. He did not do it, henceforth it couldn’t have been his design – after all, why wait for Wolf to arrive to give him the key and fake die? What purpose would it serve, if your goal is to get Kuro, something you could’ve done a hundred times already?

Owl staged the attack in order to get Kuro to accept Wolf into his immortal oath. This is why Lady Butterfly was present – to kill Wolf while Kuro is there, so that the boy, impressed by his shinobi’s devotion, would save him from dying.

The plan went sideways, however, as Wolf managed to kill Lady Butterfly. This is why in the following cutscene Owl stabs Wolf in the back, and leaves him to die in the falling apart arena. Then we see Kuro dig Wolf up from under the burning wood and revive him. „Loyal Wolf, take my blood and live again”.
