"What is going on here," Ashina asked himself. He knew that Kirito had done something but this is insane. It literally burned them alive.
"How in the world does this kid do that? Why these Shinobi are suddenly acting like idiots then there is also that large barrier. And finally the fire.
Ashina had no idea what was going on here. He was just stunned and could not say anything at this moment. Because in front of him currently were five thousand people burning alive.
He wanted to directly find Kirito and asked him what the hell he was doing. How in the world did he accomplish this he knew that as the commander of the Uzu force, he needed to remain in the commanding position for anything urgent. But he still created a mental note to sort out Kirito later and find out how he did that.
He had some idea, like the way all the enemy shinobi were acting like idiots, they sure were under some sort of Genjutsu and if he was not wrong then their Uzumaki clan had a very similar Genjutsu called Dark Eclipse. But there is no way Kirito can put an entire army on a Genjutsu.
That is simply impossible. But he suspects that that huge barrier which Kirito erected for a few minutes is somehow responsible and also a part of his plan.
While Ashina was thinking about this, other Uzumaki people were no different. Some of them were confused about what suddenly happened. Some of them were happy and cheering because their enemies just burned to their deaths before they were able to set foot in their village. Some of them were frowning because of all the destruction and fire in front of them.
Kirito though could not care less. He only knows one thing. If he wants to save this place and its people then he needs all the help and strategic planning there is.
Raikage at this time on the other side of the battlefield, immediately got the information about what just happened.
Raikage who was drinking as an early victory celebration smashed his bottle, grabbed his subordinate's collar and asked.
"What, are you sure that they all are death," Raikage asked in disbelieve.
"Yes, Raikage Sama. All of them burned alive. I am not sure how that worked but those Uzumaki people suddenly erected a big barrier out of nowhere. And then all of our men suddenly started to act like idiots. It is almost like they are not in their own control. They lost their mind. Like a Genjutsu. Then the barrier came down and fire suddenly started to erupt from the ground. It was not enough to create a fire on its own but for some reason, the entire area caught the fire and still is burning. " Raikage subordinate told him.
Raikage could not believe what he heard. He knew that all the subordinates under him were fully loyal to him and wouldn't feed him lies. This means what he was telling him is the truth.
"How is that possible," Raikage asked.
"Even if those Uzumaki bastards create a seal or ninjutsu formulae to set the entire land on fire. Why our men did not use the water style to defend themselves? With their numbers, it could have been an easy thing to do" Raikage said, more like demanding for answers.
His subordinates though did not have any answers he was seeking and he just said.
"I have no idea, Raikage sama, forgive me".
Raikage thought about this a little and then said.
"Gather the rest of the army. This changes our battle plan" Raikage said and went out to talk with his other subordinates.
On the other hand, Kirito saw the success of his plan and started working on his second plan.
"If I am not wrong then next Raikage will start deploying his real strong army and this time not take any chances. He will make sure that they are not that easy target." Kirito thought to himself.
The only way he can reach the Uzumaki land now is to wait for the fire to calm down which is at least not going to happen today. Or he will find another way.
He can use Ninjutsu to put off the fire but that will cost a lot of manpower which he will need to fight. Not to mention he won't wait. According to his own actions. He is afraid of Konoha to help the Uzumaki clan. Now Konoha will not come and Kirito and the Uzumaki know this but Raikage does not.
So the only thing Raikage will do now will be to find another way in, in the Uzumaki land.
Kirito knows that there are only 3 ways to get inside the village. One is to use the most common route which Kirito just burned to a crisp.
Another one will be to use the rocky plane and the last one will be the sea route.
Raikage won't use the sea route because there is no way for him to transport his huge army from the sea to the village directly because of the defences. Not to mention, the army will be in a vulnerable position in the sea in front of Uzumaki defences. He will not leave the lives of his men on only the defensive capabilities of his ship.
So the only place he will be targeting is the rocky land and Kirito has exactly set up the second trap for this people.
Kirito thought about this and smiled.
