The Witcher – Uchiha Madara!

[Chapter Size: 2200 Words.]

Third Person POV

Northern kingdoms.

...

...

Red eyes emerged in the midst of the darkness, as the Sharingan shone like never before at that moment.

Finally, Madara had managed to control all the power he had received, and his eyes emanated a crimson glow more intense than ever before. He could feel not only that his chakra levels had exploded, but also a different lightness in his body, as if he had become much stronger.

With 25% of his power activated, it seemed as though he could defeat any enemy. However, Madara had to push that thought aside and avoid underestimating the enemies he would still face; after all, he couldn't allow his mind to cloud with power and had to continue acting meticulously.

Swiftly, he stood up, ready to leave the place. His only objective was clear: to go to war. He moved toward a corner, where he put on a set of clothes newer than the ones shredded in his last battle. Though just as dark as he typically wore, these bore the Uchiha clan symbol highlighted even more.

The following morning, Madara left the cave and moved south, leaping from the entrance. It was dawn, but he knew the Sun would rise in just an hour. He advanced through the forest's darkness until his gaze fell upon a small camp in the distance — nothing less than a group of northern sorcerers, already near their objectives.

Ignoring them, he continued toward the edge of the mountain and, with a powerful leap, launched himself from a high cliffside. He felt the intense wind as he descended from over 200 meters, the surroundings dark except for the campfire lights at the mountain's base, coming from both camps. He landed skillfully on a tree, unaffected by the impact due to his current body, and quickly leaped to the next mountain at high speed toward the camp his clone had visited.

Meanwhile, Thorne was not only already awake but deep in thought inside his tent, rereading reports and analyzing a specially crafted map. He often spent nights and mornings reviewing strategies, always seeking new ways to shift the course of the war. This time, he used his early wake-up to consider how he would manage the army today.

He jumped, startled, his mind fully focused on his task, when he heard footsteps approaching him inside the tent. He quickly spun away from the table, turning to face whoever was entering, thinking it could be an assassin, knowing that his guards would never enter unannounced.

"Who's there?" Thorne exclaimed, only to be surprised to see Madara standing there, falling silent a moment later.

His gaze shifted to the tent entrance, but no one appeared after he raised his voice.

"Don't worry, I just put them in a quick illusion. They'll be fine," Madara replied and continued. "I see you're awake; that's good…"

"Madara?" Thorne murmured, observing him closely. "Is it really you? Not one of your clones?" he asked, already familiar with some of the Uchiha's abilities.

"Yes. I'm here to face a war definitively," Madara responded calmly.

Thorne let out a sigh of relief before looking at the young man again. "That's good. You'll be very useful if you're still willing to fight against Nilfgaard," he said.

"I have my own reasons for this, Thorne. I'm being honest; I'm not doing it for you or your kingdom if that's what you're hoping…" Madara replied sincerely.

Thorne simply nodded, knowing he couldn't ask for more. "As long as you're on our side, that's what matters."

"Anyway, tell me how this war is going. I need to know the details," Madara demanded. It was a bold request to make of a king, but Thorne knew he couldn't refuse.

"Very well, come closer," he instructed, and Madara walked to the table where Thorne pointed to the lines of the two armies positioned at the border. Only a small group was in the middle of the battlefield, engaged in a skirmish.

"As you can see," Thorne began, "we're only in minor skirmishes. There have already been three small battles, and today will be the fourth. We're fighting to test the armies' morale, and we've been at this for days. We've already lost 6,000 men, and the other army has as well," he explained.

"I see. Is there any winner in these skirmishes? How do they work?" Madara asked.

"We have a few rules. Since we send 10,000 men and no mages, the armies fight until the horns sound for retreat… There hasn't been a winner yet." Thorne spoke and continued after a pause. "But I was holding back our forces and delaying a full advance, hoping you would come," Thorne admitted honestly.

"You realize they're also stalling this war, don't you?" Madara observed, noting that the Nilfgaardians sent the same number of men as the northern army and refrained from using any tricks in battle, unlike the northerners.

"Exactly. Nilfgaard is stalling us equally. After all, we should have gone into the final fight after just a couple of these skirmishes. We've also lost contact with the others in the south…" Thorne informed him.

Madara pondered, his eyes scanning the map filled with army markers. The south was empty when, in reality, it should have been a battleground.

"It's highly likely your southern army is lost, and the Nilfgaardians are coming here, blocking any information. Why didn't you send a mage to investigate? Though that would be useless now," Madara commented.

"Indeed," Thorne nodded. "But the mages said it wasn't necessary anymore. I sent a few men on horseback, but no one has returned…" he explained.

"I understand. There's no reason to press on that front. I want you to give me all the other information about the Nilfgaardian army and this war. I also want to know if there are any special groups among them, people who might stand out on the battlefield in extraordinary ways, even reducing mages to foot soldiers," Madara asked.

"Well, their strength still consists of around 60,000 men, since you managed to defeat over 20,000 of them in Cintra. We have the advantage with 80,000 men, plus reinforcements coming from the north. But we still don't know the situation in the south, where my army was supposed to be fighting and halting their advance. Additionally, there are a few witchers in my lands, targeting strategic positions within our army," Thorne explained.

"Witchers in service of the Emperor of Nilfgaard?" Madara asked.

"Exactly," Thorne confirmed.

"I see. So there are more witchers from the Cat School. I want you to suspend all searches for these witchers. I'll send clones myself," Madara stated, and Thorne nodded, relieved to have his assistance.

"It will be done. I'll speak with Tissaia, since she was the one who sent a few mages. They managed to kill only one, but there are still two left, as far as we know," Thorne added.

"Show me this information on the map before I leave the tent. For now, let's get back to the army. You still haven't answered my question about any special groups I mentioned," Madara insisted.

"Special group…" Thorne repeated, pondering Madara's words, but he couldn't recall anything specific—no one displaying strength significantly beyond the mages, as Madara had implied. "No, there's no special group. We're just facing Nilfgaardian cavalry," he concluded, and Madara nodded.

"I see," Madara murmured. It seemed that chakra users hadn't shown up yet. "But that's not an issue for now. Either way, I'll personally join today's battle, and I want to wear the emblem of my noble house from Cintra," Madara stated.

"Are you sure? Some of my men feel a certain unease about what you did in the Eastern War, many years ago," Thorne commented. He knew that people murmured about how Madara had created a strategic passage behind the enemy army in Sodden, leading to many deaths. It was common for people to hold grudges, and even some nobles had once demanded that Thorne send a message to Calanthe, asking for Madara's head at the time. But Thorne, upon taking the throne, had never agreed with that.

"It's fine. I need to draw attention somehow," Madara affirmed.

"Draw attention? What do you mean by that?" Thorne asked, curious and reminded of Madara's words about a "special group."

"There are certain people who came from outside this continent," Madara began. "They're hunting me. Very dangerous people, and they're likely in this war as well, just watching for now, but they'll probably make a move eventually. So, I'll make sure they come to me. I've already left one of them badly injured," he said, referring to the recent battle before Sodden's Hills. Madara had heard from Kenzu that they were involved in the war, and he only needed to find them to destroy them together.

"I understand. Very well, then. I'll make the necessary arrangements for you," Thorne replied, knowing that Madara's help was essential and feeling more confident with his presence now.

"Good. I'll prepare a few things and meet with you later to see what you've set up for me," Madara said as Thorne nodded and picked up a map.

"Here are all the witchers' movements you requested," Thorne said, handing over the kingdom's map to Madara.

Madara nodded and exited the tent so discreetly that even the guards, already released from his genjutsu, hadn't noticed his departure. Thorne sighed, observing this. "If he were an assassin, I'd already be dead," he couldn't help but think with a slight shiver.

Madara then moved to one side of the camp and created clones, sending them to various points in Sodden in search of the witchers, following Thorne's map, and dispatched one clone south to check on the situation there. Afterward, he positioned himself in a secluded spot and waited for the sun to rise so he could meet with the king of Sodden once more.

It didn't take long for both armies to start preparing. Over 10,000 men gathered, as in the past days, and two groups with their leaders — Thorne, the general, and a few important mages led by Thorne and the general of Temeria, General Edmar Kaelen — advanced to the middle of the battlefield. Tissaia and other mages accompanied them for an initial negotiation, while the Nilfgaardian generals also approached, including General Menno Coehoorn and General Hyuuir.

"The day has come to finally defeat you northerners!" General Menno sneered, his voice carrying a mocking tone, speaking in the northern tongue with a heavy southern accent.

Thorne forced a smile, and the Nilfgaardian general raised an eyebrow, surprised by Thorne's apparent cheer.

"You seem happy, King of Sodden. It's as if you don't realize your kingdom will soon fall," he mocked.

"Don't be so arrogant, Nilfgaardian. In any case, let's get started. I believe this fight will be different," Thorne replied calmly, surprising even the Temerian general and the mages beside him with his words.

"We'll see," Menno replied with disdain, standing before his group. "Prepare many graves for your men; we'll see who survives on this battlefield." With those words, he turned and left.

Once again, the battle unfolded in a limited engagement, with 10,000 men on each side, as it had over the past days. Thorne returned to his position while the Temerian general held some doubts but chose to remain silent as he watched the fight.

Thorne observed his men preparing when a knight emerged from behind the camp and advanced with the soldiers. Everyone looked on in surprise, not understanding what was happening. Some fixed their eyes on the flag the knight carried, while others, recognizing the symbol, widened their eyes as they saw Madara advancing on the army's flank, unquestioned by anyone.

Madara wore a knight's armor with the Uchiha clan symbol hanging from his lance. He rode at the forefront of the entire northern army, which watched him in confusion.

"So, is this the leader you've chosen to lead the 10,000 men today?" the general exclaimed, stunned. Thorne had said he trusted someone special to lead the battle but hadn't specified who. The general looked at the unfamiliar symbol and the imposing figure of the knight with a dissatisfied expression before turning back to the king of Sodden.

"What are you doing, King Thorne? That guy is a shorty… who is he?" Edmar asked in disbelief.

Thorne only smiled. "Calm yourself, General Kaelen. Soon, you'll see. If he wants to stand out now, so be it," said the king. He had spoken with Madara and granted him the command of this battle. After all, he held the authority as king and the highest position in the army, even though Temeria had sent more men and the chapter of mages was present. Even though there was only a boy behind that armor, he was confident that the name Uchiha would resonate across all armies by the end of that day, just as Madara himself intended.
