The Witcher – Uchiha Madara!

Chapter 74 – The fall of Cintra 03.



[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]

Third Person POV

Northern kingdoms.

...

...

There was a small, remote village in a corner of Cintra. While people went about their lives peacefully, everything seemed like any other day. Men gathered wood in the forest, others worked in the fields, and hunters brought game home for their families or sold it to sustain their lives. Some traded fruits grown on their own land at the small local market among the residents. Children ran back and forth, while women gossiped about their lives and even about others'.

A man had stepped out to get some fresh air and at the village entrance, noticed a horse approaching. As the village was small, they always kept an eye on any stranger who approached. But what surprised him was seeing a boy entering the village alone, wearing only a dark cloak, yet of good quality.

"Who are you, boy? What are you doing here?" asked the man, who must have been about 40 years old, as he approached the boy with a suspicious look.

Madara looked at him, studying him a bit before answering. "I am here because of complaints that have reached me about some problems in the region. About a flying beast."

Another man, young, with an axe in his hand and who seemed to have just finished chopping wood, scoffed at Madara's question. "What does a child have to do with our problems? If you're the local noble, you should tell your father, not come here alone." The man thought this boy must be a rebellious noble thinking he could do anything.

Before Madara could respond, horses appeared behind him, alerting the entire village. Armed soldiers, with a symbol of a windmill spouting fire on their armor, appeared. Madara, who had to choose a symbol for his house, ended up choosing the traditional Uchiha symbol.

The village quickly gathered cautiously around them, while the old man had a realization. "Wait, you're Madara Uchiha, the man who owns these lands?" He had heard of a young teenager taking over these lands.

Madara didn't even have time to respond as the knight approached him. "My lord, we have arrived. You were much faster than us," said the knight. This knight was named Sir Derek, he was a wandering knight when he was hired by Madara to help protect his house, he approached with a smile.

Madara just nodded. After all, he had galloped away, leaving his men behind to enjoy the wind a bit. His horse could walk much faster than the others.

"Everything's fine, let's just sort this out and leave," Madara spoke calmly. He had received complaints of a terrifying monster to the south of his lands.

"My lord, there's a flying creature in this area... many do not know what it is but I have heard of them, it's a glyph! And it has been stealing animals from farms, but strangely only takes the small ones. We cannot fight such a monster, so we ask for your help. And we don't have the money to hire a witcher. Besides, this species is very rare in these lands," said the man referring to the witchers, Cintra seemed to scare these people.

Madara nodded. "A glyph, interesting..." He commented, clearly interested. "Can you tell me exactly where the attacks occurred?" he asked, and the man nodded.

"I will talk to my daughter; she will be able to take you to the Brant brothers' farm, which is where we have suffered the most from these attacks," he said and went to his house. A young woman approached, bowing to Madara.

"My lord, my father has spoken about the situation. I will be guiding you. Please follow me," she said. Madara nodded before turning to one of the soldiers. "Someone pick up the girl and bring her with us," He ordered, after all, he wouldn't make the girl walk all the way to the site. One of his guards approached and picked up the girl, as she began to lead them. They followed, leading the rest of the group.

After 10 minutes of riding, they arrived at one of the farms in the area and entered it. The place looked quite poor, with some children playing, but they quickly saw the group of knights and ran inside. It wasn't long before a man came out, cautious.

"You are in the presence of Madara Uchiha, the owner of these lands," the knight announced before anyone else could speak.

The farmer quickly widened his eyes and bowed. "My lord, you are here... What can I do for you?" he asked in a rather cautious tone. Madara, already a bit tired of this and the waste of time, sighed deeply.

"Show us where the griffin attacked. We will be examining the site," Madara said, wanting to get this over with quickly. He was fed up with the common people's exaggerations about nobles.

The man quickly led them as Madara dismounted his horse and entered the pasture. "My lord, you needn't do these things," one of the guards spoke.

But Madara shook his head. "It's all right," he said.

"You are new here, boy. You will see a lot of this. Our lord prefers to act rather than wait for men to bring reports," the knight said and followed Madara immediately. They went to an open field where the grass was trampled by a medium-sized creature, and there was blood too.

"My lord, the creature attacked here five days ago. It took four of my calves, and I am hiding all the animals inside the barns, be it my cows and the other young ones, fearing it might take more. The other farmers are doing the same. We fear it might start attacking people, I believe it's a dragon!" he explained and said the last part as if he was sure of it.

"A glyph first, now a dragon?" Madara murmured... and put that aside while nodding and began to inspect the site. He discreetly activated his Sharingan, looking for any detail he might find.

He didn't have Ciri's power to see flashes from the past, or even a witcher's scenting ability, but he might find some details if he looked harder.

'First... this is not a dragon... too small... it could be a glyph as that man from the village said... but if so, it's young,' Madara thought. "Well, it seems it attacked and went to the nest with the carcass..." he murmured.

His men waited for him to finish investigating and Madara looked out over the open fields until he saw something that would lead him to start his search. "We're done here. Let's head to the mountain, the griffin probably has a nest somewhere high," he said as his men nodded.

After that, they left the girl and the farmer and headed to the nearby mountain, stopping at the end of the day at the foot of the mountain to set up their camp.

Madara went to his tent after dining with his men. He disappeared without the guards noticing, approached the forest, and created several clones, hoping they would search for the griffin's nest during the night. After that, he went to sleep.

The next day, he already had the necessary information. Then, he called the captain and asked them to move to the right side of the mountain. His men followed, making their way through the forest. Although he could simply leap through the trees, he wasn't in much of a hurry, so he let his men accompany him.

They finally climbed until they found a slope with an open space and a boulder, there was a small cave. "As expected, my lord. You found it easily..." the knight said, and Madara nodded.

"You stay here, I'll take care of this," he said, while one of the guards, who was a novice, looked somewhat stunned by this.

The others already knew how it worked; their lord wasn't on his first time doing risky things, but as the rumors say, the boy had the power of a witcher, some rumors say that he had even become one while still young.

Madara entered the place, but unlike the memory that had to be the clone seeing the nest, with the creature sleeping around cow bones and other animals, there was nothing but the strong odor of rotting meat.

"He must have gone out to eat something," Madara murmured.

However, his thoughts were soon interrupted as a fierce scream arose from outside, while the men seemed startled. He quickly went out and saw the sight of a real griffin, landing in front of all the soldiers on those rocks and growling at them, as his men went on alert, raising their swords.

"Do not attack, wait!" Madara exclaimed as he passed by his guards.

"My lord!" one guard shouted, but Madara paid no heed as he stood in front of everyone. He stared at the griffin, which was young as he had suspected. The griffin stared back, increasing the tension among his men.

'He is young and hasn't killed anyone... just fed... killing him would be cruel.' Madara thought, despite not knowing how a glyph had ended up there.

He stared at it while his eyes turned into Sharingans, which dazed the griffin for a moment as Madara took control of its body, and everyone saw that the animal no longer seemed hostile as it looked at Madara.

"This is interesting... I will keep him." Madara decided, he saw in the animal's mind its memories while it was quite young with its mother dying to a Leshy from what he could understand, after all, the glyph saw its mother being pierced by wood while something tall approached the nest, this glyph had fled from the South to here then. Choosing a nest and staying the last few weeks devouring cows and other animals.

"My lord... you cannot be serious..." Sir Derek murmured in surprise.

"I am very serious, Sir Derek." Madara responded as he fearlessly approached and touched the creature's head, which was docile under his control.

It was a pity that the creature was too young, for Madara could not ride it. It should be 1 meter and 50, no wonder it didn't take the bigger cows, being unable to carry them.

Madara and his men passed through the village and said that the problem with the creature was resolved, and he would pay for all the damages. His men watched him during the entire journey back to the estate, with most already accustomed to the strange things their lord might do. However, seeing the griffin flying above them was not a sight at all common to everything they had witnessed in these almost 2 years. They wondered how he had managed such a feat, but now the creature obeyed him and Madara was willing to keep it; he wanted to create the fuuinjutsu of summoning and found his first creature for it.

They finally arrived at the castle and Madara asked Marcus to call all the staff and guards; he had to talk about the glyph, people were extremely agitated with their lord saying he would be taking care of a glyph from now on, but he assured that no one would get hurt, as long as they did not mess with it.

Over the next few days, Madara kept his glyph in the place where he would train and sometimes took it to the courtyard, with everyone seeing their lord taking care of the creature as if it were his pet and not a monster that could kill dozens of armed men.

Everything seemed calm, until Marcus approached with a tone of urgency; he had a royal letter, and saw that it was a direct summons from the queen, it seemed that the Nilfgaard exercise finally worried her and began to call all the banners of the kingdom.

Raccoon here: I let Madara do a witcher mission, it had been a long time since he had done one like this, moreover, he gained his likely first summon for the future.
