Third Person POV
Northern kingdoms.

...
Flames were the sound that drowned out all others in the midst of the battlefield, whether it was the Nilfgaard soldiers who had not expected such a thing, or even the soldiers who were unharmed by the fire explosion, those from Cintra. This immediately halted the direct advance of all troops, while the flames illuminated the battlefield with the sound of men screaming their last seconds before falling.
"Did the boy have that much power...?" Mousesack quickly understood what had happened before anyone else and looked at it in shock, not imagining that Madara could cast flames on such a large scale; he had reaped the lives of thousands of men in a space of hundreds of meters with the smell of flesh coming towards them.
Calanthe also looked at it with stunned eyes and heard Mousesack murmur beside her while he looked at her surprised for a moment before making a decision, after all, they were still at war.
"Let's attack them! This is our chance, for Cintra!!" She exclaimed, moving her horse with her sword raised, and the others quickly followed her, heading towards the enemy at maximum speed on the sides that were not yet on fire.
Madara was also on the move, as he passed through the flames with his original and the other clones attacked the enemies alongside, with 20 copies of them rushing to kill them.
The Nilfgaard general was not having an easy time at this moment as he watched a part of his army being destroyed, although it was a small fraction of the total, still, it would not be at all pleasant to write reports to his superiors about losing more than 2,000 men more than anticipated; his gaze fell on the elf beside him.
"Tell me!! What is happening, elf... how could Cintra do this to our men?!" He immediately exclaimed in anger.
"I... don't know... I've never seen such powerful magic... but it's strange at the same time..." She was a bit confused with the last words, after all, she could not feel the energy of chaos, since with flames of that size, it should burst into chaos energy, but she felt nothing.
"What's your function here then?! You can't even see an attack from Cintra." The general immediately exclaimed in anger before turning to the west. "First an army coming from the west, which has not yet appeared, now a flame explosion taking a part of my men's lives... Damn Calanthe, I will make sure to kill every person from Cintra that I find on the way to the capital..." He muttered angrily.
"My lord!!" A man called his attention pointing to the flames in the middle of the field and someone running through them entering the open field, approaching them running in a strange way with hands behind, but much faster than a horse.
"He's that brat!!" Exclaimed the General remembering the threat from Madara, as he approached closer to that group, heading straight, despite having many soldiers between Madara and the general on a hill where he could see the battle better.
"This kid is crazy! Archers, kill that thing before it gets here!" The general spoke despite the surprise, he did not believe Madara would last long.
Meanwhile, the cavalry soldiers who had cried with those from Cintra at this moment while Calanthe continued leading and cutting down men who appeared in front of her with Mousesack using magic beside to protect the queen, multiple Madaras also entered the battle cutting enemies from all sides of the field, whether on horseback or the infantry that was still in the middle of the field.
No one could say that Madara was with clones on the battlefield, after all, the place had become a mess, while the soldiers of Cintra followed the clones opening paths in every corner of the battle without knowing that other soldiers were having the same experience in other places.
Meanwhile, the original was easily dodging arrows moving from one side to the other, dodging something that should be impossible for a human being, with both the archers and the soldiers behind them shocked by that way of moving.
"That boy isn't human!!!" the general accused, observing Madara's peculiar movement. "Don't let that thing get close!!" He began to grow nervous as Madara twisted his body, dodging all arrows without a single one touching him and steadily closing in on the group of archers, who looked on with increasing fear.
He touched his arm and began launching ninja stars at the men, with several dozen of them beginning to fall, screaming in terror as their necks were pierced by the ninja weapons.
He pulled out a simple star again and began spinning it on a raised finger in front of him, while casting a wind chakra shadow, beginning to form around it, a slicing wind element spin growing larger than a shuriken, and without anyone being able to react, he launched that thing at the soldiers who quickly panicked with it flying towards them and could do nothing as their bodies were cut through, passing through armor and moving forward to the next soldier and so on.
"What?!" Everyone there was terrified seeing 5 men being cut in half while Madara was holding two more of those things in each hand, throwing them at archers and soldiers.
"I want you to protect me from that thing!!!" The general was now very frightened as he requested this from the mage, not wanting to meet the same fate as those men as they fell dying to the ground, it was a horrific death for anyone who saw it.
Francesca was also not looking at it with pleased eyes, after all, she did not recognize this type of magic and seeing people being shredded by projectiles like that was something she had never imagined either, at least she had never seen anything like it in a book she had read.
Madara continued killing the men, while their formation had broken no one wanted to die in that brutal manner with this type of strange magic and they began to flee. "Stop running!!! Maintain the formation, you will be executed after this!!" The general quickly shouted while the men did not seem to care, all they wanted was not to die in such a brutal way.
More stars with wind element chakra continued to be thrown as more and more men were killed, Madara finally reached them going straight for the general through the space where the men had fled.
"Stop him, don't let that thing get close!!" the general exclaimed as Madara approached the hill and jumped into the air over 5 meters, drawing his short sword, ready to cut down the frightened man while seeing Madara's eyes red as in the meeting they had before the battle.
However, at that moment, a bolt of lightning was directed at Madara, hitting him still in the air with Francesca throwing it with her staff, and looking with eyes hoping that Madara would be caught.
BOOFF Madara's body then transformed into smoke and a log appeared in his place falling.
"What is this?!" Francesca didn't understand, then suddenly a slicing sound appears, as Madara jumped from another side holding a star with wind chakra and threw it in her direction.
"!!" She quickly moved forward and conjured a spell while Madara's attack hit her shield and the mage put all her chaos energy into keeping it as it impacted with such force that it shook.
"This isn't going to hold!!" Francesca was once again stunned by that thing spinning trying to pierce her magical shield, as it cracked and was destroyed the next moment.
The slicing attack passed, but ended up being diverted, with the ease of it spinning in the air and it ended up not hitting Francesca while killing some knights and officers beside them. The mage had fallen with her horse at this moment while her world spun with the impact, dizzy.
And Madara didn't stop there, while still in the air, he completed his fire jutsu and launched his fireball. "Fire Style, Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Francesca on the ground as the general near her, were alarmed by the amount of flames to kill them and she quickly put up her last strengths raising her hand and conjured another shield spell, clashing against the fire, using all her forces not to die there, after all, she was pregnant and did not want to die like this without fulfilling the dream of becoming a mother.
In the end, she managed to hold back Madara's flames while she lay gasping on the ground, with the general also fallen, his horse frightened by the ordeal. She looked at the flames burning in front of her and a shadow passed through them, walking while its eyes were scarlet like blood.
Madara was finally on the hill looking down at the fools who had challenged him, walking towards them, especially towards the man who was staring at him in fright, getting up while trying to flee. Francesca was very scared, as she tried to move away from Madara in front of the flames, wondering what this boy was and how he was so strong and powerful...
"Where do you think you're going?" Madara spoke and threw a kunai at the general trying to flee; the kunai was so fast and strong that it pierced his armored leg.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" The man exclaimed like an animal, falling to the ground again.
"I told you I would kill you, so just stay put, after all, I've crossed this entire battlefield to fulfill my words," Madara spoke with an indifferent tone.
"Ahhh you bastard, do you know who I am! A monster like you will never survive, do you hear me, you will never survive the fury of Nilfgaard for killing a general!!" He continued to exclaim in despair in his native language, rolling through the flame while the kunai dripped blood from his calf.
"Fool..." Madara murmured and turned his attention to the mage on the ground trying to crawl backward.
"!!!" Once again, Francesca felt her mind being invaded by those eyes, as Madara tried to discover some memories about Nilfgaard's strategy.
He saw them trapped in a meeting, with the emperor himself speaking with Francesca about her role in this war, promising a territory for the elves to live in peace, her goal was to capture Cirilla and bring her to safety. There was also something alarming in Nilfgaard's strategy, which made Madara frown.
However, before he could find out more, with immense pain, Francesca began to cast a teleportation spell on herself, disappearing in a flash, but Madara could see the expression of fright with fear shining in her eyes, looking at Madara.
"It seems she escaped, no matter. Let's just finish this." Madara, without time to keep looking into people's minds—which was quite time-consuming with the protections they had—approached the general still crying on the ground trying to remove the kunai from his leg, but he couldn't due to his armor limiting his movement.
"When you get to the other side, tell them you died for challenging an Uchiha. The worst mistake of your pathetic life," Madara spoke, arriving over him.
"Wait!! Don't kill me, we can make a deal!!" The man pleaded. But the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. "AHHHH!!!" He screamed as Madara pierced his black armor with his short sword wrapped in chakra, hitting his heart.
He saw the man dying a moment later and the hill began to be surrounded, with men shouting in Nilfgaardian to protect their general, but the flames from his fireball still prevented them from reaching the spot.
Madara sighed and quickly made a clone; he had to warn the queen about 10,000 Nilfgaardians coming from the East, while the army was increasingly losing men to the Nilfgaardians, even with Madara helping and creating chaos, he couldn't see a victory for Cintra by the end of the day, but still, he continued acting and sent his clone, while his original returned to the battlefield between Cintra and Nilfgaard, taking advantage of the confusion that would start in the enemy's southern army without the general.
