It was hard to write this chapter, I thought I wouldn't be able to, since I've been sick all day here... But we did it, I hope I've maintained the quality.
[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]
Third Person POV
Cintra, northern kingdoms.
...
...
A week had dragged on since Madara Uchiha eliminated his pursuers and declared war on the underworld organization of the area. However, he did not make a direct attack; he needed to train his skills with a greater amount of chakra and with the fireball, not wanting to enter a situation like what happened with Greg, since his fire jutsu was more of an all-or-nothing move than him having control of the situation.
But that didn't stop him from acting in the shadows, for days, Madara ran through the southern part of the city hunting down Murty's men, one by one, they fell and appeared lying dead in alleys alone with clean cuts. The legend of the boy with red eyes began to grow stronger here, with many attributing the murder cases to the boy on the poster more than anything else in public opinion, making people fearful while they began to draw their curtains earlier than usual.
Murty was not someone Madara was familiar with and knew that soon this man would make a move, from what he tried to extract information from the gang, the leader was a dwarf, quite gruff and would do anything to achieve his goals.
Meanwhile, at the base of his gang, the man who commanded the underworld of the area was sitting looking at some men trembling at that moment.
"I already told you, Murty! He's killing all of us, the guys are afraid to go out on the street!" One of the men spoke bowing in front of the dwarf.
"Yes, he has eyes like blood, wings on his back, and claws, spitting fire like a humanoid dragon!" spoke the other with some fear.
"You're talking nonsense! Get out of here!" Murty spoke angrily, no longer wanting to hear those men.
Another man approached. "What should we do, boss, this isn't good for business... The men think we are the target of this child-monster." He spoke calmly.
"A child, they say... But there's no child capable of such deeds," Murty murmured, his mind working frantically. "What are you, then? A specter? An abomination?" He exclaimed, but it was more a question to himself than to his man.
He turned to the man who came to speak with him. "He eliminated 12 of my men... If we're going to fight a ghost, let's go all out to catch that bastard and make him regret messing with us, I want to catch that creature and kill him after torturing him!" he declared.
"But how?" The man asked.
"Everyone talks about seeing a shadow running on the rooftops of houses, let's catch him with our men, I want at least 20 beasts on the roofs. Also, send a message to our contact, say his business might be in danger, at least he will send help with that." Murty declared and the men nodded, doing exactly as he asked.
Meanwhile, Madara was training his body in the forests passing through the walls of Cintra without drawing attention, he made one of the abandoned houses his temporary base in the city, but always left to spend time or even days in the forest, training the great fireball jutsu and improving his chakra control. Madara always acted against the gang at night, Madara returned to the city, a ninja among the shadows. He hunted the members of Murty's gang doing illicit or immoral activities.
But today was different, he decided to act by going to Murty's base after getting this information from his men in the last few days, as he entered the city during the afternoon, he went towards the blacksmith he had requested his work from.
"Boy?!" The dwarf saw him suddenly and spoke cautiously to this odd child.
"Have you completed the work?" Madara asked.
"Yes... it's here..." the man spoke while going behind his forge and grabbing a bag full of metal pieces, which Madara deduced to be his kunais. He approached, placed the case on the ground, Madara opened it and picked up a kunai while flipping it quickly, surprising even the old man as the boy tested the weight.
"It's heavier on the left side... but it's usable for what I want to do." Madara complained softly, the blacksmith heard this and would have been enraged by anyone else, but he was afraid of the child, this boy was strange and in this district, there were murders happening and rumors of a red-eyed monster child.

"This is good..." Madara picked up the short sword and tested it, finding it to be good work, at least passable.
"With this, I'm off, thank you. I hope to do business with you later." Madara said and started to leave.
"I hope to never do business with you again..." The blacksmith murmured, watching the boy leaving and entering an alley.
Madara reached the roof and had a few more hours before dusk, he returned to his current dwelling and started to organize things, he couldn't carry all 20 kunais, but he put 12 in his pockets and stored the rest with his clothes. He strapped his small sword on his back, like Kakashi, and wore an outfit with a cape, looking like an Anbu.
He then jumped from the window and returned to the area, as he jumped across the houses of the southern region, he encountered a group of gang members gathered, he advanced to watch them, but noticed something while in the air from one roof to another, the reflection of the fight reflected the metal of an arrowhead pointed at him.
He was without his Sharingan, so it took him by surprise, when the arrow flew towards him, he quickly grabbed a kunai and deflected the arrow that flew towards him, he activated his Sharingan and saw the man, but that alerted other men with crossbows already waiting for him at the location, indicating that it was a trap set for him.
Madara dodged an arrow that flew by his side and jumped before another bolt embedded in the roof of the house. Dice and arrows flew from all sides as he tried to dodge them all.
"We found him!"
"Let's catch this monster!"
"He seems to be dodging our arrows!"
The men laughed and celebrated while Madara was hiding behind a chimney. He looked at the various men and was in a tight spot, he needed to act, this wasn't what he planned on the night of his attack, but now he had to make do.
He quickly started running across the roof, while projectiles flew towards him, but Madara managed to deal with it while dodging one by one, the first men he approached exchanged their mocking laughter for shocked and desperate looks, as Madara was right in front of them. He took out his kunai and started to eliminate them.
"What are you doing?! Kill the monster!"
"He's getting close!"
"Help!"
"You bastard! AHHHHHHH!!!!"
The night was filled with desperate screams and curses as Madara eliminated all the archers and men with crossbows. The gang members who stayed below as bait, heard everything with fear in their eyes.
Suddenly, Madara emerged from the darkness of the night after eliminating all the men on the roof and advanced towards them, even screaming, no one survived in the next seconds, Madara had killed them all.
"They almost got me... again." Madara admitted, though he managed to handle the situation, now as a ninja he felt frustrated when he didn't have total control of the situation.
"Anyway... Let's go to Murty's base." He said leaving the bodies behind and going in a direction he had already known in the last few days.
He found a descent in a hidden place, there was the entrance to the base, there were two guards, but they were already lying on the ground as Madara entered the underground. The place was quite bad for a gang base, and Madara could hear the voices of men talking among themselves in the distance.
Jumping onto the ceiling, Madara began to run head-down through the base. The guards soon saw a child land on them, but without time to react as he entered into darkness, he continued advancing through the base using his kunais, it didn't take long to enter the main room, where there was the dwarf named Murty and the safe.
With a kick to the door, Madara would quickly deal with Murty, as soon as he entered, all the men inside were surprised by the child with red eyes under his cloak staring at them.
"It's him! He's here to kill us!" Shouted a man as he fired his crossbow in fear at Madara, by some luck, the shot was headed directly for the boy's head, but with a quick movement, Madara caught the arrow with one hand before it hit his face, leaving everyone quite shocked.
Madara took out his Kunais and started to throw all of them at the 7 people in the room. With almost all fallen dead, however, Murty was wounded in the leg.
"AHHHH! You damned monster!"
"You're involved in human trafficking, who is the final customer?" Madara asked.
"Hm? I will never tell, monster!" The dwarf spat.
"I'll ask one more time. Who is the man you deliver children to." Madara asked again.
"I don't know! Even if I did, I would never tell," He said.
Madara sighed, "alright then..." he murmurs, and before the dwarf could react, Madara cut his throat, eliminating the leader.
At that moment the door opens. "Boss! We have problems! All our men are dead! Hm?" The man who just arrived finally noticed Madara surrounded by everyone dead in the room.
"AHHHH!!" The man screamed in fear and started running in the opposite direction, this made Madara grab a kunai and throw it at the running man as he fell to the ground dead.
"Let's see the safe now..." Madara said and opened the place with the key from Murty's clothes.
Madara saw a box with at least 1100 gold coins, a great amount. "As expected of a dwarf..." He smiled as he transferred the gold into the system to gain an additional 1%.
[System: Power Peak: 3%!]
"So it seems I've arrived too late..." Suddenly a voice appeared behind Madara leaving him stunned by this, since he hadn't noticed the man.
There was a man looking at all the bodies with a portal by his side, he was the man, the one Madara was looking for, and he was a mage.
