I became a God by fooling the kids in the naruto world

The valley settlement was no longer just a refuge—it was the birthplace of something greater. The people within it no longer saw themselves as mere survivors but as pioneers of a new way of life. Under Philippe's guidance, they built, trained, and believed.

But belief alone was not enough. If his followers were to survive, they needed power. The world outside was still ruled by the might of clans, and no amount of faith could protect them against a trained shinobi force.

Philippe had been waiting for this. The valley needed warriors, defenders who could uphold the ideals of the settlement and protect it from outside threats. Now, he had a way to make that happen.

Awakening Potential

Philippe's first step was to find those among his believers with the potential for combat. He called upon the strongest and most willing, gathering a group of young men and women who had already shown aptitude for survival.

Among them was Hiro, a seventeen-year-old boy who had once been a servant for a minor noble before war had taken everything from him. There was also Aya, a fierce girl who had survived an attack on her village and vowed never to be powerless again.

"I will not lie to you," Philippe said, manifesting before them in his radiant form. "The path of a warrior is not easy. It demands discipline, sacrifice, and strength. But if you walk it, you will never have to live in fear again."

The recruits nodded. Their eyes held no hesitation. They were ready.

With this, Philippe reached into the depths of their minds, weaving fundamental battle knowledge into their thoughts. It was not enough to make them masters overnight, but it gave them a foundation—stances, reflexes, an understanding of how to wield weapons.

When the training began, they moved with newfound confidence, striking with precision they did not have before. It was the first step toward forging warriors.

The Art of War

Training continued for weeks. Philippe guided them through strategy, discipline, and the philosophy of combat. It was not just about swinging a weapon—it was about understanding an enemy, knowing when to fight and when to retreat.

Hiro proved to be a natural leader, quickly learning how to command small units. Aya, on the other hand, was unmatched in speed and instinct, excelling in ambush tactics.

But battle was not only about skill. It was about mindset.

One evening, Philippe tested them.

A group of bandits, desperate and reckless, stumbled upon the valley's outer perimeter. The defensive barrier prevented them from entering, but they circled like vultures, sensing something of value inside.

Philippe summoned his warriors. "You are no longer the hunted. You are the hunters. Drive them away."

Hiro and Aya led their small force out into the night. The battle was quick but decisive. Philippe watched from above as his warriors used their training to outmaneuver the bandits, forcing them into a retreat.

It was their first real test. And they had passed.

The Power of Faith

Victory alone was not enough. If the valley was to stand against true threats—the great clans, rogue shinobi, or warring factions—Philippe needed to do more.

He turned to his system shop.

As the next day's training began, Philippe demonstrated the ability. He selected Hiro, channeling energy into him. A golden aura enveloped the young warrior, and in an instant, his speed and strength doubled.

The warriors watched in awe.

"This is the power of faith," Philippe said. "The stronger our belief, the greater the strength we wield."

Excitement rippled through the valley. The warriors trained harder, pushing themselves beyond their limits, knowing that their god was with them.

A New Threat

The settlement's progress did not go unnoticed. Scouts from a nearby warlord's faction had picked up signs of a growing community in what was supposed to be abandoned land.

One night, a messenger arrived at the valley's edge. He was a shinobi, dressed in dark armor, his presence commanding.

"I bring a message from Lord Takeshi," he announced. "You occupy his land. Submit and swear loyalty, or be destroyed."

Philippe's believers murmured in fear. The warriors tensed, waiting for their god's response.

Philippe's voice echoed across the valley. "Tell your lord that this land belongs to no one but those who live upon it. We kneel to no master."

The shinobi sneered. "Then you have chosen war."

He vanished into the night, leaving behind an unspoken promise of battle.

Philippe turned to his warriors. "This will be our true test. Are you ready?"

Hiro stepped forward, fire in his eyes. "We are."

Aya grinned, gripping her weapon. "Let them come."

Philippe smiled. His people were no longer just survivors.

They were warriors.

A storm was coming. But Philippe was no longer afraid.

He was ready to meet it head-on.
