Third Person POV
Cintra, northern kingdoms.
...
...
Madara continued training over the next two weeks, honing his jutsus and undertaking a task to find a boy in another small village. However, the boy was already dead. At least he killed the monster responsible and received another part of the reward they had agreed upon, which frustrated him again. But being unable to do anything about it at that moment, he just accepted it.
However, as soon as he returned to Cintra, there was a letter on his bed, which caught his attention, but he couldn't read. However, as soon as he touched the letter, it glowed. A portal appeared in its place instantly, and the royal druid emerged from it with a smile.
"Hello, Madara..." Mousesack greeted him.
"You..." Madara murmured.
"Come on, you can call me Uncle Mousesack." He suggested calmly.
"..." Madara didn't respond, just looked at him while raising an eyebrow, wondering why this man wanted to get close to him.
"Well... I know you've been doing some work in some villages near the kingdom," he began. "We've been hearing about a witcher child hunting monsters at court. So, you need money?" He asked in the end.
"Yes..." Madara admitted.
"Then that's very good, although I wouldn't recommend a boy going around putting himself in danger. But I admit the queen was pleased with someone solving these kinds of problems, something the soldiers usually can't do... but I know you're also having difficulty getting your money, since there have been complaints that you still charged for a service. I don't know why you're doing this for money, but at least you're doing it honestly," the druid spoke with satisfaction.
"I still don't understand what you're doing here," Madara asked, slightly cautious.
"Well, since I see you're having difficulty, I want to help you. How about you work directly for the crown? We will pay you well if you solve some problems, especially with monsters around the capital. I see you're having success with this type of work," he said.
"Well, if you pay well, I have no reason not to accept," Madara admitted.
"That's great. You will receive the number of contracts the crown has, and you will see what kind of work you can take on. Got it?" he commented, and Madara felt quite satisfied with this, trusting the druid's words.
The man approached and made 3 sheets of paper appear in his hand, "Can you read?" He asked, and Madara shook his head. "Perfectly normal." The druid said and began to read to the boy.
"How about hunting a carrion? They are dangerous beasts, and I wouldn't recommend it." The druid said, moving to the next sheet.
"There's a certain group of bandits on the road, can you handle that?" He said without looking at the boy and moved to the next sheet.
"There's a nest of necrophages in the western part, and many travelers are disappearing on that side, can you handle it?" He murmured and finally looked at the boy.
"I'll take all 3 contracts." Madara declared.
"Are you sure?" The man asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, do I have a time limit to do them?" Madara asked.
"If no one else does them first, then the contract and the reward are yours." He said, and Madara nodded. He took the map he had bought and approached the druid.
"Can you mark where each of these contract points are in the kingdom?" He asked, and the druid took a quill and began to mark, all the contracts were near the city.
Once finished, Madara looked at the map with satisfaction. "Thank you..." He thanked for the help.
"Hahaha. It's nothing, I hope to hear news of your success soon." The man said with a smile, before conjuring a portal and stepping through it.
Madara was left in silence, now alone. He decided he should prepare with the little coins he had, as it would be lucrative with the reward written on the papers, after all, no matter the world, numbers seemed to be the same.
He left his dwelling and jumped across the city rooftops again, heading to the southern region. A blacksmith was working quietly at his forge when he heard some footsteps close to him, and as soon as he turned around, he looked at Madara with a stunned look.
"YOU!" He shouted.
"Hello." Madara greeted, nodding slightly.
"Are you here to make one of those weird weapons?!" The man asked cautiously, obviously he had heard about the massacre of the gang in this area. Even more, the rumors about strange knives found at the crime scene after a battle, thinking that this boy had committed a massacre, scared the dwarf, making him sweat while being nearby.
"Yes, I want 10 knives like the one you made last time." Madara said and threw a sack of coins to the man.
"Wait... you're not..." The man spoke a bit dazed, but Madara interrupted him.
"I'll be picking up the knives in two days." He said and jumped on top of the house, making the man gape as the boy continued hopping between the rooftops.
"I'm really dealing with a little demon..." He murmured, but was too afraid to deny the boy's request, so he started working on the order immediately.
Madara, seeing he had some time, began running through the city thinking of doing something to help him and then he thought of the library, wanting to study a bit of the language of the Nordic kingdoms.
He went to the place that seemed like a library and was received by an old man who looked at him suspiciously as always, but he picked up any book, since he needed to start somewhere and went to the counter grabbing the man, before leaving.
His routine became basically studying and walking around the city a bit, he found out that the old caretaker of his former orphanage is jailed for child trafficking, which made Madara quite pleased and they put another person in charge of the orphanage, it seems the kingdom was making big arrests with this investigation.
As soon as he returned to the blacksmith, his weapons were ready and he looked at the kunais with satisfaction before storing them, "Good job, dwarf." He said and started to leave, letting the man breathe a bit after that.
He then goes first to the western region of the kingdom, where he had marked on the map about the activities of bandits in the area, Madara continued the way until he reached a cliff, where he found the place very useful geographically for an ambush and hid some distance away, he stayed 8 hours until he saw some activity coming out of the forest and some men looking around for some target.
Madara didn't act and waited until he saw the larger group, 2 hours later a shipment from some farm with a family in the wagon approached the place, he watched the men attentively as they seemed to have gone to notify about this wagon.
The wagon was full of vegetables and passed under the cliff while the bandits were waiting patiently before launching their attack, Madara then decided to act, he started to launch his kunais embedding them in the necks of the men at the back while they died without the others having any idea of it.
He jumped high from his tree and grabbed his sword, then started to reap the men one by one, "What?!" The only thing they could do was shout before being cut down by Madara's blade. He was stronger, so reaping a group of 6 men without them even being able to act was quite easy for the Uchiha.
The wagon heard some shouts and stopped immediately looking up while the man grabbed a farming tool afraid of being ambushed, however, nothing emerged from above. Since Madara had already killed everyone and was in the forest at that moment, following the trail of the bandits to their camp, he might not know the location, since he didn't follow any, but his sharingan could easily see the footprints.
It didn't take long for him to come across a camp with more 20 men doing their usual things, there were other hostages on the site and Madara sighed, he continued with his sharingan as he landed in front of the place and began to walk.
"Hey, who's that?!" One of the bandits pointed to Madara walking towards them calmly.
"I don't know who this child is... Hm? Look at his eyes!"
"They're red! He's a monster!" Another shouted.
"A monster? Let me finish him off!" said a bandit, grabbing a bow and aiming at Madara. The boy didn't even need to look at him before moving his arm to cut the arrow coming his way, leaving everyone stunned, but Madara decided to act at that moment.
The hostages at the site, especially women, were frightened when they saw their captors being massacred by a boy wielding a sword, as he reaped all the men in the camp. Shortly after, everyone was dead.
They trembled in fear of that boy, especially when the boy began to walk towards them, but Madara merely cut the locks of their prison and left the site. Leaving them stunned, but finally free.
"I've spent the whole day here and the day will end in a few short hours, better I return and continue my other contracts tomorrow..." He murmured after taking all the gold from the camp, which was 300 gold coins, a welcome sum, and headed for Cintra at that moment.
He knew those women would tell what happened after they reached the roads and the wizard would know it was him, so he entered the city and continued jumping over the buildings until he reached the eastern part where he lived. However, before he entered, he felt there was someone there, and with his sharingan, he could see a small person there.
He landed passing through the window and startling the person, for he knew it wasn't the wizard, the person looked at him cautiously and he saw for the first time it was a little girl, not just any little girl... it was Cirilla, the princess of this kingdom. Now what she was doing there was a big mystery and it was a bit disconcerting as she looked at him with a certain sparkle in her eye.
"It's you!!!" She said, pointing at him, "I knew I would find you, I knew!" She celebrated while Madara just raised an eyebrow wondering what she was talking about.
