The Witcher – Uchiha Madara!

Chapter 174 – 43%.



[Chapter Size: 2300 Words.]

Third Person POV

Kaer Morhen.

...

...

Madara was advancing toward the nearby mountains of Kaer Morhen that morning. After passing the great lake, running across it, and finishing his traverse, he began ascending the ancient road used by witchers since times past.

The mountain was now full of boulders; in other words, it was a difficult path for an ordinary person to take. There weren't many trees in that stretch, so he had to use the boulders themselves to keep climbing. It was a rugged path, and the snow didn't help much as it covered parts of the road.

Quickly, he ran and gained altitude, leaving the lake level behind. Only a few minutes later, in front of him, the entrance to a cave appeared.

It didn't take long before figures emerged from the darkness of the cave. Under the morning sun, two trolls appeared before Madara, their heavy footsteps echoing as they approached.

"Human with red eyes, you are here again." Their voice came out a bit clumsy as they looked at Madara, stepping out to catch some sun and warm themselves a little from the winter cold of this season.

"Human brings new gifts? We happy with that!" the golem said.

"Why do you always ask for something…" Madara commented to them.

One looked at the other at that moment after hearing Madara's question. He always had to give something—Vesemir had asked him not to kill the trolls since they caused no harm and had been there for over a decade.

"Why we ask for gift?" one troll asked the other, confused by Madara's question. They weren't the smartest creatures.

"I don't know… maybe because it makes us happy?" the other suggested.

"Yes! Because it makes us happy!" his companion shouted.

"Exactly! Human, we collect things, and gifts make us very happy!" he confirmed.

"Now give us a gift. Want, want, want!"

"Want, want, want!"

"Want, want, want!"

"Want, want, want!"

Madara looked at them and sighed. Once again, he had to pull out his storage scroll.

"I will give you something interesting, but I need to know if you have this plant in your cave. It grows in dark and humid places in this region." He first pulled out a hand-drawn picture of the plant Vesemir had requested to help Ciri.

"This…" Both trolls looked at each other, slightly lost. But upon seeing the plant, they thought a little more.

"Don't know…"

"Me neither."

That was all they said, and Madara ended up giving up on that.

"All right, I'll give you something, but you have to let me explore your cave," Madara said.

"Okay!"

"You can enter, but no messing up!"

Without saying anything else, Madara pulled out a piece of furniture from his scroll—a headboard—placing it in front of them.

"What is this?"

"It's funny…"

They studied the object.

"This is a drawer. It opens, and you can store things inside. But it's fragile because it's hollow, so be careful," he explained while the trolls got excited.

Leaving that aside, Madara continued his path into the cave while the trolls raised their arms, celebrating their new item and examining it curiously.

They were strange, but Madara had gotten used to them. Trolls were creatures he had ended up studying a lot. He had learned many things during his time here, aside from training, and was specializing in more powerful monsters like vampires, demons, and still-unknown beings. Vesemir was an excellent source of information.

He continued inside the cave, the foul smell growing stronger, but trying to ignore it, he moved past the area where the trolls had made their home. As he ventured deeper into the cave, he began to hear the sound of water—an underground waterfall existed there. However, upon reaching that point, he found a 30-meter drop. Not that this was a problem for someone like Madara, who simply leaped forward, landing effortlessly on the ground below.

Due to the height, the trolls would never come here, and it was no surprise that the place remained untouched. He knew about this waterfall from Vesemir, which was why he had come directly here to find the plant he was searching for.

He saw many herbs growing there, thriving without sunlight, and carefully searched among them for the one he needed. Soon enough, he found several dozen of them along the cave's edge and quickly gathered them before making his way out.

The trolls were already inside their cave, placing the furniture somewhere.

"Thank you, human with red eyes!" they exclaimed to him.

Madara simply nodded before heading toward the cave exit. He glanced at the lake far below but decided to take a different route, following the path by jumping across the massive rocks leading to the mountain's peak.

There, he landed and took in the view of the entire region. A Power Stone stood on the peak, its element being fire. Madara had never taken power from this particular stone—the only one he had used was in the Brokilon Forest. His strength had been steadily increasing since his training, but today, he decided to use this one.

As the sun finally illuminated the mountain peak, he stepped forward and placed his hand on the stone. A red glow pulsed from it, and he felt its power coursing through him as he closed his eyes.

At that moment, the system activated.

[Power Stone Activated. You have gained 1% of the System. System now at 43%!]

Madara could feel his power surging suddenly, but he held back. He would train his chakra control once he returned to Kaer Morhen.

Looking at the vast landscape below, he decided against running through the mountains. Instead, he cut his finger, and in the next instant, formed a series of hand seals before slamming his hands onto the ground.

With a burst of smoke, Madara summoned a creature much larger than himself—even though he now stood at 1.70 meters. As the smoke cleared, the beast's yellow fur became visible, its large wings unfolding. It was none other than the young griffin he had taken for himself in Cintra. Now, it had nearly reached adulthood, its body having grown significantly larger.

"GRUOOOH!"

The griffin announced its presence, staring at Madara—or rather, its master. Madara had tamed it years ago and no longer even needed his Sharingan to make it submit.

"We're heading to the castle," Madara said as he jumped onto its back.

The griffin didn't resist, spreading its wings and preparing to take flight.

With a powerful push, it ran toward the edge of the mountain, leaping off and diving downward. Madara stood firmly on its back, using chakra to stay balanced as the griffin adjusted its body. With a mighty flap of its wings, they soared high above the ground.

From the sky, Madara could see the entire snow-covered valley. The mountains lay behind him, and the horizon stretched toward Kaedwen.

The flight continued for several seconds. A slight smile crossed Madara's lips as he felt the crisp morning breeze. His gaze shifted southward, where he noticed faint traces of smoke rising from the forest. It was nearly imperceptible, but still there.

Narrowing his eyes, he activated his Sharingan.

"Let's head that way. Get closer," Madara instructed, pressing his foot against the griffin's side.

The winged creature quickly shifted direction, flying toward the source of the smoke. Through gaps in the foliage, Madara's keen eyes began capturing glimpses of something.

"I see…" he murmured, before steering back toward the castle, now just four kilometers away.

The landing of the griffin seemed to startle Vesemir as he tended to some plants beginning to grow in the castle courtyard. The enormous beast touched down, generating strong gusts of wind in every direction.

Madara jumped off its back the moment it landed, turning to look at Vesemir, who was staring back at him with a grimace.

"You showed me this griffin so long ago, and every time I look at it, it still scares me," he murmured in a grumpy tone. In truth, he was deeply impressed by the creature obeying someone instead of trying to devour them—his first instinct was always to reach for his sword whenever he saw it.

"You said I'm the first person to ever tame one," Madara replied calmly, with a small smile.

"Certainly, there have been many who tried, but all the young ones were caged. No one has ever flown on one, as far as I know," Vesemir admitted.

"Anyway, I brought the herbs you asked for," Madara said.

"Great," Vesemir said, taking them as Madara approached to hand them over.

"There's something else..." Madara continued, addressing the old witcher. "I saw a camp of at least thirty men nearby. I saw the banner of the King of Kaedwen..."

Vesemir's expression darkened at those words.

"Are you sure?" he asked, seeking confirmation.

"Yes... they'll be here by tomorrow at the latest," Madara stated.

"Alright, we'll discuss this later," Vesemir murmured.

"You don't need to worry about it. I'll head over there tonight when they set up camp again to investigate," Madara informed him.

"Alright," Vesemir replied, before heading inside with the herbs.

"You can stay here or go hunting," Madara said as a final remark to his griffin. The creature simply let out a sound while staring at him. Leaving it be, Madara followed Vesemir.

Inside the castle, Geralt was sitting at a table, eating dry bread with a cup of hot water—likely coffee.

"How is she?" Madara asked.

"No sign that she'll wake up..." Geralt said.

It had been two days since Ciri had fallen unconscious after experiencing a series of visions. She had never had so many at once before, though she had been having them weekly. But this time was different—she had never been left in such a state. It was clear that this was getting worse, and she needed help.

That was something Madara couldn't provide in this matter, so he would need a sorceress. He had chosen Triss, who had survived despite being gravely wounded at Sodden Hill nearly two years ago.

She often spoke cryptically about death, here and there. Meanwhile, Madara was frequently labeled as an agent of chaos—at least she had never prophesied his death. However, she had once mentioned a goddess, likely referring to a member of the Ootsutsuki clan.

Regardless, Madara was still fixated on her last words. He knew she had spoken of Vesemir's death—likely at the hands of the Wild Hunt. But the last two prophecies made him question something else.

'The Child of Destiny will bring forth a man and a woman with red eyes…'

She was probably referring to his clan, but at the same time, it was perplexing.

'What does she mean by 'bring forth'? Something like time travel?'

Madara couldn't say for sure.

For now, he put those thoughts aside and joined Geralt at the table. Meanwhile, Vesemir went to prepare the potion before getting something to eat.

Vesemir entered Ciri's room. The girl was wrapped in a warm blanket, protected from the cold, as he gently poured the liquid into her lips.

"So... do you want to train?" Geralt suddenly asked.

"I'd like to, but could we do it in the afternoon? I'll be training my chakra control first," Madara said as he made his way outside.

"Yes."

That was all Geralt said, unfazed. He and Madara trained together every day. Of course, the witcher couldn't surpass him, but unlike Lambert's more intense reactions, Geralt took it in stride. Fighting someone with a style he had never encountered before, he found himself learning something new each time.

Madara headed back to the courtyard, where his griffin hadn't even moved, still lying in the same spot. Deciding to train right there, he knew he couldn't draw too much attention during the day.

Sitting in a lotus position, he closed his eyes. In the next moment, his body released chakra, the aura rising around him as it always did. Now, he needed to train the chakra he had gained and integrate it with his control. The explosive outbursts he once had were gone—he could control his chakra flow far more efficiently now.

So, he remained there, focused, staying in deep concentration for the next few hours as the system remained at 43% unlocked.

Meanwhile, Geralt was cleaning up some of the mess Vesemir had left after preparing the potion for Ciri. Vesemir soon approached him.

"If your acquaintance doesn't show up, we'll have to find someone else," Vesemir said.

"Is she getting worse?" Geralt asked, a hint of concern in his voice.

"She'll be fine. I'm talking about her lack of control. She's been having these prophecies for a year now, and frankly, I don't want to keep hearing about my death or the child that might be born from those two monsters," Vesemir grumbled.

"They're not monsters," Geralt murmured.

"Sure. On one side, there's a girl with instant teleportation and uncontrollable, powerful magic. On the other, a boy who makes every monster in our bestiary look like a joke—someone who could destroy kingdoms and armies."

With that, Vesemir walked away, leaving Geralt to sigh and continue scrubbing the cauldron.

Meanwhile, Ciri finally began showing signs of waking up.

Far, far away, on a distant road, a well-dressed woman, wrapped in a sorceress's cloak, rode a horse toward Kaer Morhen. Her red hair flowed with the wind as she advanced steadily on her journey.
