Attack On Forest

When Madara reappeared, it was between the mages of the Witches' Forest and The Eye of the Midnight Sun.

When they saw Madara the, members of the eye gasped. They had heard about the ruthless monster before them. Some started shaking on the broom they were on.

They then remembered Fana has the flame spirit, Salamander. The spirit with the most attack power, the creature made up of pure mana.

They started thinking that with her, it was impossible to beat them.

"You couldn't get enough of me, so you came back. I don't blame you. I would do the same." Madara said, provoking Fana.

"You killed Vetto. You must die." Fana said, with a hateful look on her face.

"No. Vetto killed himself. He decided to show up, knowing I was there. He must've been ready to die." Madara said, causing Fana to fire a ball of fire from the Salamander.

That's what she wanted Madara to think. She fired two fireballs at Madara. She wanted to kill him right there.

Seeing the fireballs coming near him, he thought of testing how durable his body was. But he discarded the idea because he was tired of buying new clothes.

*Boom!* *Boom!*

One after the other, the hot balls of fire, exploded when came in contact with Madara. The mages of both sides thought he was dead. It would be impossible to take that, right?

After a few seconds, they expected his body to drop from the sky, but his body never fell. When the smoke cloud cleared up, there stood a floating Madara.

What made them gasp was the fact that he came out uninjured. What was more surprising was the blue aura that surrounded Madara that expanded beyond his body.

What surrounded Madara was a blue ribcage that took all the damage for Madara. This was not the first time using Susanoo either.

When Madara got up from that chair a few years back, he got his body right. But he didn't forget the newly obtained ability he got.

He could use something that could destroy the forest, but the time would come for him to unleash the power of his avatar.

"That's no way to treat family, is it?" Madara asked while dematerializing the ribcage.

"The only family I have are Licht and the people from the village," Fana said with the smallest amount of wary in her eyes.

The reason? The person' in front of her took two fireballs from a Salamander and came out unscathed.

Who wouldn't be the least bit worried? And that's exactly what Madara wants. For people to cower when his name was spoken.

"How about we get rid of the trash before we start, shall we?" Madara said, looking directly into her eyes.

She didn't oppose anything, so Madara took her silence as the go-to. A sinister smirk appeared on his face when thinking about the looks of terror on their faces.

*Splick!*

Madara appeared above one of the mages, in an instant. He punched the mage in his head, so hard, his head exploded like a watermelon.

The ones who saw this couldn't help but let feel terrified. They knew what they sighed up for, but this was too much for them to handle.

[Wood Clone Jutsu]

Madara created the number of mages, clones. All the clones appeared in front of one mage with a wicked grin ok their face.

Each clone stabbed their sword somewhere vital and twisted it a few times. The screams that erupted were music to his ears.

All while this was going on, Fana sat there and watched. She did nothing to help them, though she kept preaching about him hurting them.

"L-Lady Fana! He's killing our forces! You must do something!" The green-haired man screamed with clear fear in his words.

Fana didn't even look in his direction. Madara appeared before him and put him in a Tsukuyomi. A Tsukuyomi of endless torture for three days.

He fell from the sky, with a lifeless look in his eyes. Madara didn't bother to cushion his fall from the sky, because there was no mercy for the enemy.

Except for a few exceptions.

"Now, why would Lady Fana let me take put her only source of support? Unless she is highly confident in her abilities or there is another reason...?" Madara said, trying to milk information from her.

"Who are you? Master Licht says you are special, but the humans have blinded and misguided you from the truth. What is so special about you, that Master Licht will ignore that you killed Vetto?" Fana said with her rage rising.

"Madara!" Madara looked down to see who yelled his name. "Do you need help?!"

'Do I need help? I don't know if I could answer that.'

"For right now, no! Extinguish the flames burning the forest and help Fanzell with the diamond mages. But if things go south, I will retreat!" Madara yelled back knowing he was lying.

Madara nodded to his four squad members before they ran off. He then looked back to see the witches' looking at him with fear in their eyes.

"What are you looking at? If you don't want to die, leave." Madara said as it took the witches' a moment, but after a short while, they flew off.

"Now, back to you. To answer your question, you will be the one to answer it." Madara said, catching another fireball.

When the smoke cleared, there he was floating in the air, without a scratch on him. He seemed indifferent on the outside, but he was started to get annoyed.

Even with the ribcage, he could still feel the heat from the fireballs. Though his fire resistance was higher than normal people, a head-on attack from the fire spirit, wasn't a pleasant feeling.

"Answer me this, Fana. Why did you let me kill your subordinates?" Madara asked, getting no response from her.

"I feel like talking to myself. Answer the question." Madara repeated himself.

"Si-"

"Take your time. No need to rush, well, it would be best if you hurry up." Madara said, awaiting his answer.

"I feel like I... I feel like I know you..." Fana said, receiving a smile from Madara.

"Looks like the elf in you is stronger than I thought," Madara said, making Fana's eyes widen.

Madara then disappeared from his spot in the air and reappeared in front of Fana. Floating in the air, criss-cross with his head, resting In his hand.

Madara then stopped floating, put his hand on her for her to look up at him.

"Listen to me, I can bring the real you out. Just tell me you want that, then I will talk." Madara said, looking into her eyes.

The real Fana, the Fana within her wanted to believe. She felt like she could trust him. She didn't know why, but the smile on his made her feel warm inside.

Why the look on his face said she could trust him. Why the look in his eyes, hid no ill intentions. Why the sense of familiarity made her feel drawn to him.

"Tell me what you want," Madara said as he whispered in her ear. His hot breath tickled her ear, made her entire body shiver.

"I want-"

*Chiiiiing!*

With the activation of his Mangekyou, he will have an easier time in her subconscious. It would be easier to suppress the human in her.

When Madara opened his eyes, he was met with beautiful scenery. The green grass, the warm breeze, the smell of flowers and trees.

Looking around the world, Madara saw a woman walking through a garden of flowers. Her hand brushing the petals of the flowers as she walked.

A short woman with long, pink-colored hair that was parted down the middle. Each side was tired off at the tips, forming two ponytails that rest on her shoulders. Around her head was a floral crown.

She wore a white dress that extended to her knees. It was held up by a dark-colored belt, around her waist. She also wore dark-colored, short-heeled sandals that lace up to her mid-shin.

She looked no older than twenty, but Madara knew she was over five hundred years old. She turned around to look at Madara when she did, she smiled.

Though she seemed far away from him, with each step, she seemed to be getting closer.

"I knew there was something about you. You are an elf yourself." She smiled when saying that. But that smiled disappeared when she remembered he was helping the humans.

"If you know of the elves, you must know of the carnage they commit amongst our people! Why do you side with them and fight your own?!" Fana shouted, trying to justify his actions.

In an instant, she was in front of Madara. Madara only smiled and touched her forehead with his. Her eyes widened with shock and the next thing she knew, she was in the outside world.

"I-I'm back..."
