Third Person POV
Northern kingdoms.
...
...
Meanwhile, in Cintra, a short distance from the capital, there was a large area left by a noble family after the fall of the army. Here too stood a castle, now in ruins, while a specific flag of that castle still hung among the rubble.
It was at this moment that footsteps were heard as shadows began to appear, approaching the ruins and the flag.
"It seems the rumors are true... I can hardly believe it..." An old male voice was heard as he commented with a calm tone, yet with a hint of surprise.
"Let's see..." A second old voice approached the debris and with a movement, he blasted all the space of fallen debris with a sound echoing through the air and stones flying everywhere.
"Be careful..." A third voice spoke as he cast a spell, making the flag disappear as it flew, before appearing in his hand.
Now the entire group, beyond the first three men, could see the flag in the hand of the magic user. The flag was quite clear, with a fan below, casting a layer of fire forward, this was the symbol of a noble who had achieved rapid ascension in Cintra, rising from a simple commoner to a high noble, owner of all these lands, and the symbol represented none other than the noble Uchiha. But these men were not very interested in the story of the rise of the one who bore this symbol, however... they knew very well what that flag meant.
"And to think we would see this symbol again somewhere after so long..." A fourth person looked on with interest.
The first person from earlier approached, but remained silent. However, the fifth looked on with interest.
"And to think that even the Uchihas who were exterminated and erased from the history of this world a long time ago, we could see someone using this symbol in this world again, and on this continent at war..." He commented.
"We need to find out who this Uchiha is and why we haven't heard of him before. After all, it seems he was quite famous in this fallen kingdom." The first finally complained.
They had come there as soon as they learned of the existence of a boy who spat fire from his mouth and fought against thousands of people with superhuman movements, killing thousands of people in a short time, no one really believed thinking it could be a superior vampire or even an elder vampire, which for them was nothing important, but as the investigation deepened... They quickly came here.
"Well, it doesn't matter now. It seems that, after hundreds of years, our hunt has returned. I hope this Uchiha is easier than the last ones." A sixth commented with a smile.
"Yes, but first we need more information about him. After all, we don't know where he is..." The man spoke, and everyone nodded. The group just stared at the flag with their varied eyes of different colors, but with serious expressions. Even without knowing Madara or the meaning of his name, they knew that symbol, and again, they would silence the Uchiha clan.
To the north of Cintra, inside the Brokilon forest, while a woman with greenish skin was meditating, suddenly her eyes opened at this moment while her gaze went to the west at this moment.
This was Eithné, the leader of the Dryads of Brokilon, this dryad woman showed herself to be very wise and severe, totally committed to protecting Brokilon and its inhabitants. She acted relentlessly to eliminate any threat trying to enter the forest or even to kill or capture her people, especially humans due to the vastness of miners in the soil of Brokilon.
She felt an explosion from that direction, but there were no signs of chaos while it seemed calm, which surprised her even more, wondering what was happening there, her brow slightly furrowed, after all, this was not normal at all. It was already a surprise for her to feel this disturbance in space without directly affecting the chaos.
"What does this mean... who or what is doing this...?" She murmured.
"Hm?!" Before she could think further, another energy burst, but this one really affected the chaos, while being so dense that she wondered if it came from a human, even though it appeared so small.
'Wait... this feeling... is it that girl who came here more than 6 years ago?' Eithné said, surprised, recalling that she had left with that witcher after consuming her magic water, which transformed women into Dryads, but the girl had not been affected, not knowing how, yet she ended up leaving Duen Canell with all of them frustrated.
"She's back... this could be good... but who is the one causing another disturbance in space and what is more disturbing, without affecting the space." Eithné couldn't help but murmur and stepped out from her position to go outside.
"Everyone, listen!" She immediately spoke to several Dryads who were guarding her home there, making all of them look at her immediately.
"I want you to send a group to the east, immediately! There is someone you must capture!" She exclaimed.
"Yes, Leader Eithné!" They exclaimed and began to move after that.
Eithné watched them quickly organize their expedition, arming themselves with a bow and many arrows while hoping they would succeed, unfortunately she could not calculate the explosion of that invisible energy, beyond the explosion itself, but she did not believe it could be much different from the girl's explosion.
Meanwhile, at the extreme west of the forest, hours had passed since Madara had his explosion while meditating. It was beginning to get dark, and Ciri sat there just looking at Madara while that blue energy emitted a bit of heat, warming her up, but she was beginning to get hungry and managed to grab something she kept in her bag, but the problem was that all the food was inside the scrolls, and only Madara could take them out using chakra, something Ciri could not do.
She ate her small apples, which she had saved to eat on the way while she was on Madara's back, and hunger began to hit while her gaze returned to the boy.
He was still crouched, while his chakra continued to flow through his body, as if still trying to control it. She knew she couldn't call him like that, after all, she had already tried, but nothing worked and she didn't want to hurt him while he was doing something so dangerous from what she perceived.
Then her gaze fell on the nearby river, where she had passed, trying to see something to fish, but there was nothing but deep waters and she knew she could be in great danger trying to do so.
Frustrated and hungry, Ciri then headed into the forest, looking for anything to eat. Looking at the nearby trees, since it was dark, making it hard to find something, especially in a dense forest.
"I think I should go back..." She murmured at one point after she entered and found nothing, she didn't even realize how long she had walked since she entered. Looking back, she saw only darkness, making her frown.
But with her first steps, with a bit of moonlight hitting through the openings of the trees, she saw some kinds of berries in a corner and quickly approached, trying to pick the first ones she found.
"Finally..." She couldn't help but murmur excitedly as she ate the small fruits with relish, and as she continued to eat, she heard a sound of something crawling behind her and this made her quickly look back, knowing something was there...
Another sound came from the side, with the same sound of something moving over the ground, and the sound continued from one side, knowing it was the same thing, but walking so fast that it was circling her at that moment, she quickly grabbed her short sword while her body, even hungry, went into adrenaline feeling the danger, making her stay on high alert and the tiredness going away.
Everything was dark, while she barely could see her own sword, and after taking a few steps back as something began to emerge, rising up behind her.
Ciri moved slowly until she was facing the creature, something she had not seen for many years. The centipede looked at her, its body emerging under the moonlight. Ciri was paralyzed for a moment and the giant centipede lunged at the girl.
She quickly counterattacked, moving her sword, and the creature screamed in pain, stopping its attack as soon as the girl made a quick cut on its face.
Ciri stepped back a bit as the creature writhed in pain before returning to her with a wild roar. She stood firm, much better than when she had encountered a centipede in this same forest more than 6 years ago.
The creature was intelligent, and it immediately dived into the darkness while trying to attack its prey from a blind spot, and Ciri was quite surprised by this as she watched the darkness while the creature continued moving through it.
She tried to move her body to the side until she found the moonlight, trying to see where the creature would attack her from, until suddenly, it emerged from her side, attacking directly, and Ciri's eyes widened, unable to do anything but try to defend herself.
At that moment, something emerged from the shadows of the forest and quickly grabbed her before the creature could catch her while she was hitting only the air... Ciri screamed, surprised, and immediately looked at who was holding her.
"Madara..." She murmured, surprised and relieved.
"I'm sorry about that, I shouldn't have left you alone like this..." He had almost made a big mistake and would not forgive himself if something had happened to her.
He continued leaping until he reached and landed on top of a tree, looking at the centipede that glared at him angrily with his Sharingans quickly scanning it angrily and without the disadvantage of darkness after all his eyes could see everything clearly.
"Stay here, and stay alert, I'll deal with her." He spoke, before jumping from the tree and advancing against the creature alone.
The centipede, still bleeding from the wound that Ciri had caused, quickly growled and lunged at Madara, while he easily dodged the attack, even touching its skin in motion before managing to get on top of it and driving his kunais into the head of the creature before it could do anything, the creature immediately screamed in pain once more with the sound echoing through the forest.
She wanted to pull Madara away and it didn't take much effort, after all, the young man simply jumped from its head while leaving the kunais stuck on the top of its head. The creature looked angrily, not realizing that the kunais were attached to a paper bomb, which caught fire at that moment.
"Die..." Madara looked at the creature about to explode and then the explosion occurred, causing a huge impact and lighting up the entire area with smoke while Cirilla watched in awe.
The sound echoed throughout the forest more than anything else and soon, the headless body of the creature was seen falling to the ground, while the echo of the explosion could still be heard throughout the forest.
Madara looked at it and sighed, before returning to the branch where Ciri was, picking her up. "Let's find somewhere to stay. I haven't finished stabilizing my chakra yet," Madara spoke.
Ciri nodded, and he put her on his back before jumping between the trees until they found a cave, where a bear was hibernating. It wasn't difficult for Madara to approach it and kick its head, causing the bear to get up angrily, look at him, before falling back to the ground and going back to sleep under a genjutsu. At least Madara made sure it wouldn't attack them there.
"This place stinks," Ciri complained, wrinkling her nose at the smell of whatever the bear had eaten in the last weeks.
"Yes..." Madara agreed and he took a smoke bomb and threw it into the environment, neutralizing any odor, while going to a cleaner part of the cave. "We'll stay here for today. I will spend the night trying to meditate, and you rest. Tomorrow we'll see what to do..." Madara said.
Ciri nodded and went to sleep after eating with Madara leaving plenty of food for her. He returned to focusing, but not before checking the system one more time. After all, he had gained something unexpected.
[Congratulations! You have reached 1/5 of the total power of System. You have a 'power card' and will be able to use Madara Uchiha's full power for 10 minutes, or as much as your current amount of chakra allows. After all, you will only have his powers, not the amount of chakra...] read the description of the card he received.
Madara couldn't help but be quite stunned by that. After all, he had a chance to use his full power, but it wouldn't be easy. He could only do so with his current amount of chakra, which greatly limited his options. How many seconds could he maintain a perfect Susanoo with the chakra he had now? He doubted he could do much, but it would certainly be useful to destroy any enemy.
-------
Raccoon here: The idea of the card came today, after all, I imagined the entire world seeing the perfect susanoo prematurely in this war. This will create good reactions.
