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

The echoes of battle still lingered in the valley, but the war was over. Philippe's people had stood against a force twice their size and emerged victorious. But war always left scars, and now came the real challenge—building a future worth defending.

Philippe had guided his people through survival and war, but now they needed something greater. A nation, a sanctuary, a home that would last beyond a single battle.

The First Council

Hiro, Aya, and the settlement's elders gathered in the valley's central clearing. Though the war was over, uncertainty still lingered in their eyes.

"We won," Aya said, her voice steady, "but what now?"

Hiro nodded. "The warlord was only one enemy. There will be others. If we don't build something strong, we will be swallowed by the chaos of this era."

Philippe's voice resonated in their minds. "That is why we will not just survive. We will thrive."

A ripple of hope passed through the gathered people. They had followed Philippe through hardship, but now he offered them something more—a future.

Hiro stepped forward. "Then we need structure. A leader, laws, an army to defend what we've built."

Aya smirked. "A kingdom."

The word settled over them like a promise.

Laying the Foundations

Building a kingdom required more than just strength. Philippe needed to create order, resources, and stability. His system shop held the answers.

[Fate Point Shop]

Blueprints of Civilization (800 Fate Points) – Grants detailed knowledge on city planning and governance. Blessing of the Builder (600 Fate Points) – Increases construction speed and quality. Advanced Agriculture (500 Fate Points) – Enhances farming techniques, ensuring stable food production.

Philippe purchased Blueprints of Civilization and Advanced Agriculture.

In an instant, Hiro and the settlement's builders felt knowledge flood their minds. They saw the layouts of roads, the positioning of walls, the structures of government that would ensure fairness and stability. Farmers felt new ideas emerge—crop rotation, irrigation techniques that would allow the land to feed more people.

Philippe's settlement was no longer a simple refuge. It was a growing city.

A Leader Among Equals

A kingdom needed a leader. Philippe was their god, but he was not meant to rule in the mortal sense. He needed someone to be his voice, his guiding hand.

The people already had an answer.

"Hiro should lead us," one of the elders declared. "He led us in war, and he will lead us in peace."

Hiro hesitated. "I… I'm not sure I'm worthy."

Aya punched his shoulder. "You're the only one who doesn't see it. You're already our leader."

Philippe agreed. "A king does not rule by claiming power. He rules because the people trust him. And they trust you."

Hiro bowed his head. "Then I will lead. Not as a tyrant, but as a protector."

The First Law

With leadership decided, the people turned to governance. What kind of kingdom would this be?

"We cannot become like the warring clans," Hiro said. "We must be different."

An elder nodded. "We have suffered under those who rule through power alone. We must have laws, fairness, justice."

Philippe's teachings became the foundation. No man would rule absolutely. Hiro would lead, but the council of elders and warriors would ensure balance. Justice would not favor the strong but protect the weak.

The people embraced this new way of life.

The First Challenge

As the kingdom formed, more people arrived. Refugees, wanderers, those seeking shelter from the chaos of the warring states. The valley's population grew, but with it came a new challenge—resources.

"We need more land," Aya said. "More food, more homes. If we grow too fast, we'll collapse."

Philippe knew what had to be done. He turned to the shop once more.

[Fate Point Shop]

Territorial Expansion (700 Fate Points) – Increases land fertility and expands the settlement's borders. Advanced Smithing (500 Fate Points) – Improves weapon and armor production. Divine Protection (900 Fate Points) – Creates a barrier around the settlement, deterring enemies.

Philippe chose Territorial Expansion and Advanced Smithing.

The land around the valley became richer, capable of sustaining more people. Blacksmiths found their forges burning hotter, their metal stronger. The kingdom was becoming self-sufficient.

But peace never lasted for long.

A Warning from the Shadows

One evening, a scout returned, wounded and breathless. "There's a force gathering in the east. A clan—larger than the warlord's army."

Hiro's expression hardened. "They see our growth as a threat."

Aya clenched her fists. "We just won our first battle. Are we ready for another?"

Philippe's voice was calm but firm. "We will be."

The kingdom was no longer just an idea. It was real, and it was worth fighting for.

And Philippe would ensure it endured.

A storm was coming. But this time, they were not just survivors.

They were a nation.
