Chapter 123 : Cannon Fodders (Rewrite)

Both sides were ready to start the war.

Raikage first sent 5000 shinobi to start the attack and later he was planning to send the rest. Time was the key here because he knew that if Konoha came to help the Uzumaki then it would be a problem.

He would have not rushed this much if only he knew that Konoha actually wanted his alliance dead. Such a stupid thing to do but that Konoha upper management for ya.

So he ended up sending 5000 shinobi. The force was mainly to understand what the Uzumaki had stored for them.

Even a children at this time knows that Uzumaki are Fuinjutsu masters and fighting them in their home where they lay down all sorts of traps, is nothing more than a dead sentence.

And that is exactly why Raikage came here with 20 thousand shinobi. A combined force of Mist, Rock and cloud.

To do the attack fast and break their defences as soon as possible. Not to mention, he knew that there would be more casualties on his side than from Uzumaki's.

That's what war rules dictate. To siege a castle, the attacker needs far more manpower than the defender.

"What is the news, is there any response from the Uzumaki", Raikage asked. Not like he was planning to stop the attack even if his demands are fulfilled.

"No response Raikage Sama." the subordinate said. Raikage just snorted and said.

"Then tell the army to advance. I want access to Uzu in under 2 days" Raikage shouted.

On his order, the army started to march towards the Uzumaki clan border.

Kirito was looking at the upcoming army and closed his eyes. Understanding the real strength of troops.

"Hmm, they are low-level Genin and Chunin. Not even one Jonin-level shinobi in the entire 5000-strong army besides the Commander.

This is not an attack. This is just Raikage trying to figure out what we have in store for him and sending his weak men to die and make way for the real attack to start. These shinobi are nothing but cannon fodder." Kirito thought to himself and grim.

"Well then, if he is so eager to let them die. I should probably help him out." Kirito said and teleport to Ashina's side.

In the war council, Ashina was sitting alone. Preparing himself mentally before he himself enters the battle.

He just completed the meeting with the other members and higher-ups of the Uzumaki clan and now they have also prepared the attack plan.

This was the time when Kirito suddenly appeared there out of nowhere. This stunned Ashina a little but after seeing who this person was, he relaxed.

"What are you doing here Kirito? You want something. I will not take you in any squad if that is what you want from me. Can't change the battle plan now." Ashina said.

"Hey I don't want to be in a squad so don't assume things on your own. I am just here to report that all the people in the first batch of army Raikage sent are low-level Genin and Chunin. Basically Cannon fodder.

Don't waste your ammunition on those people. I will handle it on my end." Kirito said.

This brought a surprised face of Ashina.

"What do you mean you handle it" Ashina asked in doubt.

"Well you see, I did some preparation of my own and before you start using all the traps you guys set in and attack. Let me use my own traps." Kirito said.

"Kid this is no game. This is war, I can't let you do what you want here" Ashina said with a stern voice.

"Don't lecture me what a war is. I have face one. Not on this level but I have. And believe me, I know what I am doing" Kirito said with an equally determined voice and stare.

He was actually talking about the Konoha Invasion. It was no war but it was pretty similar when a single person took on 250 people. It is very much a war.

"Okay but remember not to do anything stupid out there" Ashina replied after seeing the determination on Kirito's face.

"Great, you might wanna see the upcoming fire show. I will start as soon they are under my trap range." Kirito said and teleported from there.

Ashina just sighed and went out to see what Kirito was talking about.

Kirito at this time teleported to a place very close to the marching army. This gave him a better understanding of when to start his plan.

While he was looking forward to using the various types of traps which he set up. Far away a black creature was looking at the marching army and there was a creepy smile on that creature's face.

This creature was none other than Black Zetsu. Kirito actually notices his presence. With his recent boost to his sensing range and accuracy. There is no way that he did not notice him but he did not do anything about it for the time being.

He wanted to concentrate on the fight in front of him.
