[Chapter Size: 2100 Words.]
Third Person POV
Northern kingdoms.
...
...
Madara could see the entire region through the crystal in the head of the Susanoo, while it stood still, as if ready to destroy them at any moment.
"That... who are you..."
"How can we fight against that."
"..."
The three remaining shinobi stared at Madara, swallowing hard, while he stood over 600 meters above them on the head of the giant.
Madara looked down at them under his feet.
"It doesn't matter what you have to say. I waited for this exact moment to end it. Now... this is the end."
Madara spoke as the giant's arm rose and the other hand reached for its sword, grasping the hilt tightly. The giant moved one leg backward, preparing to draw the weapon.
The ground under its feet began to drag everything around as the giant shifted, blazing trees snapping and being hurled away by the sheer force of its movement. The giant's leg dug into the earth with just a single step, reshaping the terrain.
"This!" The shinobi swallowed hard.
"What is he going to do?!"
From a distance, the Northerners watched the scene, their throats dry, unable to imagine what would happen next.
The Nilfgaardians, however, were in a state of despair. The mages were the first to act. Seeing the giant pointing at them, they began summoning portals and escaping through them as fast as they could.
"What do you think you're doing?!" a few Nilfgaardians shouted at them, but no one cared. Everyone just wanted to flee as quickly as possible, desperate not to be caught up with that god-like figure.
"Quickly, we must get out of here!" one mage urged the general, who followed without resistance, stepping into a portal while glancing back at the giant preparing to draw its weapon against them.
The Nilfgaardian soldiers left behind ran as fast as they could, unwilling to stay involved.
Madara wasted no time, his gaze fixed on the giant as it drew its weapon. The blade began to emerge from its sheath, glowing with pure power.
'Today, the world will know Uchiha Madara.'
He thought, and in the next instant, the weapon was fully drawn and swung forward.
In that moment, the entire space in front of the giant erupted from the force of the attack. The three shinobi were blasted backward, their bodies exploding into bubbles of blood.
The entire forest was annihilated by the wave of destruction, which extended far beyond, tearing through the ground and reaching the Nilfgaardians. They only had time to feel an explosive pain before their bodies were obliterated. The attack passed through them with such speed that none could sense death approaching, only the immense agony.
The assault continued, shattering everything in its path. Distant mountains were struck, and the entire continent trembled from the swing of the Susanoo's sword, no matter how far away.
"Hm?"
At the far northern and southern extremes of the continent, people noticed their small bodies of water ripple unnaturally, though they couldn't understand what it meant. The tremor went unnoticed by them, but closer to the impact site, people felt a mild but unsettling quake.
"What is that?"
In Cintra, surrounded by mages awaiting news of the battle, Emhyr felt a strong tremor. His men rushed to investigate, and on the distant horizon, a massive column of smoke began to rise. He looked out the window, wondering what had happened.
For those involved in the middle of the war, it was the worst experience imaginable. Even those who weren't direct targets of the attack suffered. The Northerners had to shield themselves as enormous rocks flew in all directions, hurled into the air by the force of the impact.
The forest created by Madara was nearly wiped out, leaving behind a towering column of smoke reaching three kilometers into the sky. Debris of all kinds scattered across the land, and the wind generated by the attack flung soldiers away.
"My lord, we must leave now!" the men shouted as Thorne looked on in shock, still trying to shield himself, his heart nearly leaping out of his chest. Giant rocks crashed down around him, and more debris kept falling, hitting some soldiers and crushing them. Everyone was shouting in fear, desperately trying to flee.
Yennefer stood frozen in the middle of the chaos as soldiers rushed past her, running for their lives. Her mouth hung open, unable to utter a word after witnessing what had just occurred. She was paralyzed, not even shielding herself from the falling debris, which rained down like a shower of small meteors, with stones large enough to crush ten men falling all around.
Even villages miles away began to see enormous stones crashing nearby, their inhabitants screaming in terror and scrambling for cover.
When things began to calm down slightly — as most of the debris had fallen on the opposite side, where Madara's attack had been directed — the survivors started to take in the devastation left by Susano'o's blade.
"What is this? Did that destroy Nilfgaard's army?" someone asked incredulously, knowing that Nilfgaard's forces had been stationed in the affected area.
As the smoke began to clear, the scene of destruction was laid bare. The most shocking sight was the mountains in the distance: they had been sliced cleanly in half.
"The mountains... were cut in two?" Tissaia's voice faltered, trembling as she stared at the undeniable evidence before her eyes. She could never have imagined, not even in her wildest dreams, witnessing such overwhelming power. Her gaze turned back to the giant standing motionless, wondering if it was preparing another devastating move.
Exclamations erupted from all sides. Fear was palpable. The attack had annihilated a significant portion of Nilfgaard's army, which had been positioned in the strike zone. Other terrified eyes remained fixed on the giant, still holding its sword as if brushing away the remnants of the devastation it had unleashed.
Madara surveyed the scene with satisfaction. However, with only 30 seconds remaining on his system's buff, his chakra reached its limit. He began to lose control, and the giant quickly started to collapse. Everyone watched as it vanished abruptly, as though it had been nothing more than a fleeting memory dissipating with the end of his chakra.
Madara, still in his adult form, descended, surrounded by a protective layer of bones to cushion his fall. He hit the ground with an explosive impact, generating another cloud of smoke. Emerging from it was his younger self, visibly tired and filthy, his breath uneven as he surveyed the total destruction around him. The terrain resembled one ravaged by the power of Whitebeard's devil fruit.
There was no sign of the shinobi anymore; he had seen them die right before his eyes. Without delay, Madara stepped into the lingering smoke that still hung in pockets across the battlefield and vanished from sight.
There was nothing more for him to do there. He slipped away unnoticed, heading once again toward the mountains of Sodden Hill. He needed to recover. Exhausted but satisfied, he relished his victory over the Nilfgaardian army, which had caused him trouble in Cintra, and the shinobi who had come to hunt him. He was confident that once news of this battle spread, any remaining shinobi would think twice before showing up again — if there were any left at all.
Madara left the battlefield, moving through the trees. Along the way, he passed several enormous stones that he knew were the remnants of his attack. For now, he needed to stay hidden, regaining his chakra before continuing his journey north.
Meanwhile, Ciri was training in Yennefer's hideout when she suddenly felt the ground begin to shake. Alarmed, she stopped her training and rushed to the exit, trying to make sense of what was happening.
Looking toward the southern horizon, everything appeared as it had in recent days. In the distance, she could see the Sodden mountains, but since Susano'o's attack had occurred behind them, she could neither see what had happened nor spot the smoke rising into the air. It was beyond her line of sight.
At that moment, she heard movement coming from the forest. Turning toward the sound, she saw someone approaching.
"Who is this?!"
Immediately, Ciri ran back to grab her sword from the hideout, noticing the griffin, Toto, dashing outside the moment it spotted the intruder.
"Wait, Toto!" she exclaimed, but the griffin had already bolted.
Ciri quickly followed, running outside as the griffin descended to the area, stopping in front of a man who had swiftly drawn his sword, appearing wary of Toto. The griffin let out a characteristic and threatening sound, positioning itself protectively before the person.
Ciri recognized the man instantly when she saw his hair.
"Wait, Toto! Toto!" she called out, running down to reach them, trying to de-escalate the situation. The griffin seemed ready to strike but, upon hearing the girl, didn't attack immediately. It calmed slightly but continued to glare at Geralt as if he were an enemy. Geralt, in turn, stared at Ciri in disbelief. He was astonished to find a griffin standing guard at Yennefer's hideout, but even more surprised that it seemed to obey Ciri, something no griffin should ever do for a human.
"Geralt..." Ciri addressed him cautiously. "How did you find me?" she asked, her tone guarded.
"Madara said Yennefer was keeping you here and asked me to come until he returned..." he replied, glancing at Ciri's sword and then at the griffin. "What is that thing doing here? Is it yours?" he asked, his tone peculiar.
"It's Madara's... but it's mine too. Toto, don't attack! He's a friend!" Ciri said to the griffin, which relaxed a bit more.
Geralt looked at her, surprised by the control she seemed to have over the griffin. It was strange and yet undeniable — the creature listened to the girl, the daughter of destiny.
"So, you really met Madara? Where is he?" she asked immediately, now that her companion was calmer.
"He said he was heading to the war. I don't know what happened after that. I had to leave the mountains to take an injured friend to a mage, who later approached me saying he was here to help." Geralt explained, unsure why he was giving such a detailed answer to the girl.
Ciri nodded, lowering her sword. Now observing him with more composure, she remarked, "It's been so long, Geralt. You haven't changed a bit." Her voice was young, yet more authoritative than Geralt remembered.
"You seem to have changed quite a lot..." he murmured, studying her. It had been over six years since he last saw her.
She nodded with a confident smile. "Anyway, let's go inside. Since we have to wait for Madara, he said we should head to Kaer Morhen. So, will you finally accept me as a witcher?" she exclaimed as she started walking toward the hideout.
Geralt followed her, giving the griffin one last glance before sheathing his silver sword.
"No. I'm here to protect you, and I might take you to Kaer Morhen to keep you safe there..." he admitted.
"Huh, alright," Ciri replied, without her usual defiance — a marked difference from their past arguments on the matter. She knew Geralt would never truly accept her as a witcher.
As Geralt raised an eyebrow, studying her, she noticed his questioning look as the griffin began walking alongside her, heading back to the hideout's entrance.
She decided to explain, "Because I don't want to be a witcher. I want to be a shinobi! No, wait... what's the word Madara uses for women in his clans? Kunoichi... I want to be one, like him!" she declared excitedly.
Geralt frowned, trying to grasp her meaning, as she continued, "Madara said I can't be a Kunoichi, but he also told me I have great strength and abilities. He trained me to develop them. So why can't I be like him?" she insisted, her determination unwavering.
And so, the two entered Yennefer's hideout, waiting for news of the war. Little did they know it had already ended at that very moment.
