Northern kingdoms.

Madara jumped out of Cirilla's window and headed towards the castle hall. With a few more jumps, he reached the location. Some royal guards were keeping the area isolated as it hadn't been cleaned yet to investigate the crime.

"Are you here?" The royal guard saw Madara approaching the place.

"Let him pass, the queen allowed his entry," the other royal guard said, and Madara passed by them. There were still cups scattered with drinks all over the place. He then approached the spot where the man had died and looked for his cup, which was the main piece of evidence for the crime.

"Did they take it?" he asked softly, sensing someone approaching.

"Are you looking for this?" Mousesack approached, holding the cup wrapped in a cloth.

"Yes, it hasn't been cleaned, right?" Madara asked, and the mage nodded.

"It hasn't been washed, we just removed the drink with the poison for analysis," the druid said.

"That's good because the drink is not the problem..." Madara said calmly as he took the cup from the druid's hand, who looked a bit surprised.

"Wait, it's only been 10 minutes since you left the audience room..." The man couldn't believe the boy had already discovered something in such a short time.

"I have my own tricks." He shrugged, not wanting to reveal that it was Cirilla who had discovered it.

"..." Despite his doubts, Mousesack nodded at Madara before continuing, "So please, tell me exactly what you discovered." He asked.

"As I said, the problem is not the wine, but the cup which was filled with a poison that had been placed on the table. This poison is like a paste that dries without anyone noticing that something is wrong, but when it comes into contact with liquid, it dissolves and mixes without anyone noticing, poisoning the wine." Madara explained calmly.

"The poison was placed by someone who is not the servant who served the wine... We detained him as a precaution while we are investigating..." Mousesack explained, and Madara nodded.

"I know who did it, I had some help that showed me some things from last night, so we can go to the kitchen." Madara said, and Mousesack followed him there.

Madara and Mousesack headed quickly to the castle kitchen. Upon entering, they found some of the servants nervously occupied with their tasks, but everyone stopped when they saw the young ninja and the druid.

"We need to speak with the servants who served the drinks last night," Madara said firmly. One of the servants pointed to a young man who was visibly shaken by the sudden demand, sitting in a corner.

"One of them is over there," said the servant.

Madara approached the young man, and Mousesack stood by, watching carefully in silence, waiting for the boy to continue his investigation.

"I know you're scared, but we need your help," Madara began. People were already used to this young man walking around the castle with the royal family and high-ranking members. Despite seeming quite absurd that a boy had done such things, everyone knew he had great authority. "I want to know exactly where your companion from last night is, a middle-aged bald servant..." Madara said, recalling the man from Ciri's vision.

"Veni?" The man was surprised since Veni worked with him at the party and was a bit surprised by the name. He had asked to serve the members of the Angren entourage last night, even being quite aggressive and insistent about it without wanting help.

"..." Madara did not respond. He simply activated his Sharingan without any of the other servants seeing and put the man into an illusion without him knowing, reading his mind.

The man, unaware that he was in an illusion, blinked a few times due to the sudden dizziness. Madara still did not have enough skill with his Sharingan to use it without traces when entering a person's mind. He managed it now without the man noticing because he was a weak-minded man.

"He didn't come today..." the servant commented in the end.

"Yes, I know. Thank you for the information." He said before turning around and starting to leave the kitchen.

"..." Mousesack remained silent at that moment, just observing Madara while the other servants were just confused by the sudden actions.

It was only when entering one of the castle corridors that Mousesack decided to voice his doubts. "What happened there, you did something to him, didn't you?" He asked, still not knowing how Madara's eyes worked, after all, he had not reported this yet, only that Madara would be studying illusions.

"I read his mind." Madara said calmly, having no reason to hide it.

"You can do that?!" Mousesack couldn't be more surprised by this.

"Yes, but now is not the time for that..." Madara replied, focusing on the task. "The servant who served the poisoned cup didn't come today as his colleague said. After all, he's not an idiot to stay here after what happened yesterday, but I expected you to have forbidden any servant from leaving the castle..." Madara raised an eyebrow after saying this, expecting at least the castle security had done that.

"We didn't allow anyone to leave, which means this servant somehow got past the sentinels, which means you're right. Any clue where to look for him?" Mousesack commented.

"Yes, do you know one of those metal deposits in the central part of the northern Chip family region?" Madara said.

"Yes."

"We should start there. That's where the Angren kingdom's entourage came to this city without anyone noticing..." Madara said. "I'll go ahead. After all, I don't want to use those portals again." Madara said, and Mousesack nodded while watching the boy take one of the windows and jump out of it.

Madara jumped out of the castle and began running along the walls, agilely leaping between the buildings. He already knew the northern region and the whole city well, so it wasn't difficult for him to approach in a direct path.

He landed smoothly on the roof of the place and saw a portal emerge in an alley with Mousesack coming out of it. But he didn't wait for him and quickly went to check the place, looking for an entrance when he found a window and entered, passing by wooden beams that supported the roof. He landed on one of them with a good view, looking at the place with his Sharingan activated.

He spotted Veni, the bald servant, talking to an armed man in a corner of the deposit.

"You did well last night, Veni. The plan went as expected, and now Cintra is in trouble," said the man with a satisfied tone. He had the emblem of Angren.

"I did what you told me, but now they're looking for me. We need to get out of here before it's too late," replied Veni, visibly nervous.

"Calm down, everything is under control. We have an escape plan ready. We'll leave as soon as night falls. Our mage has prepared to create a portal, and you'll be in Angren enjoying the kingdom with the gold coins you'll receive from His Majesty." the man replied calmly.

"Why can't it be now?" The servant was in a hurry to get out of there as soon as possible.

"Not yet. Besides having to talk to the Chip family, we arranged with the mage to create the portal at the moment we leave Angren, so there's no way to communicate with him." The man said, while a shadow passed over his head without him noticing.

'Well, let's just get this over with,' Madara murmured internally as the man was about to say more about the situation, but Madara didn't want to waste more time and jumped from the roof, landing on them.

"I knew I would find you here after everything," said Madara, his voice firm.

Veni and the man turned abruptly, surprised by someone falling on them.

Before anyone could react, Madara simply moved his leg and kicked the man directly in the head, intending not to kill him, but enough to knock him out in the next moment.

"AHH!" The servant was surprised as he saw the man who was supposed to protect him flying like a rag doll backward, knocked out, while he screamed in fright. "You!! How did you find me?!" He exclaimed, knowing very well who this child was that landed in front of him at that moment.

"It wasn't difficult." Although it seemed suspicious that a servant fled the castle, Cirilla was a key point.

"I-I..." The man was even more nervous as he started to walk backward in fear.

Veni tried to run, but Madara was faster. In an agile movement, he quickly kicked the man's legs, causing him to fall to the ground, preventing his escape.

"Stop! I'll attack you!" He said, trying to get up while pulling out a trembling knife at Madara.

"..." Madara didn't even feel like mocking that guy. He simply looked at him, still with his Sharingan activated, and paralyzed him in the next moment. "Let's see what you have that's important..." Madara said, and as someone with an untrained mind, it was easy for him to pierce through all the information there. The servant had been contacted by the Chip family, it seemed to be a contact they had for many years until they finally decided to use him for something extreme. The man didn't know much about the Angren contacts besides being instructed by the Chips themselves.

"I have enough information about this. It's better to let the monarchy discover it on their own..." Madara murmured, and shortly after, a portal opened behind him with Mousesack coming out and looking with interest at the two fallen men.

"They're all yours, this is the servant and apparently a man from Angren... I'll leave them with you, but you'll have to act quickly before the Chip family and the other members of Angren realize something is wrong," Madara warned, and Mousesack nodded, moving the two bodies with some telekinesis and opening a portal.

"Come to the castle, I'm sure if we're going to attack someone tonight, the queen will want your participation." Mousesack said, and Madara nodded, jumping to the window and leaving after Mousesack disappeared into his magic.

Meanwhile, a few kilometers from Cintra, a series of corpses were scattered around the place. They were Cintra soldiers, more than 20 bodies cut and killed, with only one man left standing, who seemed to be the commander of this squad. Despite seeing all his men dead around him, he maintained a serene face. In front of him, there was a man drawing a sign of Axii.

He kept a smile, seeing that the Cintra soldier was under his control at that moment. "Very well..." He maintained the green eyes of a snake looking at the man before continuing. "Now tell me everything you know about this Madara Uchiha..." He asked, beginning his field search for his target while already creating chaos. Since Madara did some witcher work for the royalty, his strategy was to create chaos outside Cintra's walls to lure the boy.

After some time, the Witcher of the Viper School heard everything the man knew about the boy. Although he didn't know much, only his achievements, the witcher smiled at that, before moving his iron sword and cutting off the soldier's head, ending his life, and then sheathing the weapon next to the silver sword.

"Hmm... how interesting... You will be a good hunt... Madara..." He smiled before starting to walk towards the city again, leaving the crowd of bodies behind.
