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

In the vast expanse of nothingness, where neither light nor shadow dared to tread, a consciousness stirred. Philippe, a man from the modern world, found himself in an unfathomable state—devoid of a body, a soul, or any tangible essence.

"Where... am I?" Philippe's thoughts echoed into the void, met only by silence.

The last thing he remembered was walking home from work, the weight of routine pressing down on him. Then, in an instant, everything had gone dark. Was this death? Had he ceased to exist?

As he grappled with his new reality, a luminous panel materialized before him, its glow piercing the darkness.

[Welcome to the God-Making System]

State: Inexistent

Objective: Ascend to godhood by gathering Fate Points.

Method: Acquire believers to accumulate Fate Points.

Starter Pack: Granted

Philippe's mind raced. "God-Making System? Believers? Fate Points?" The terms were foreign, yet strangely resonant. He had read about similar concepts in novels, where protagonists gained power through faith. But this wasn't fiction—this was real.

[Starter Pack Opening...]

Contents:

Divine Sense: Allows perception of the physical world. Minor Miracle: Perform a small act of divine intervention. Celestial Whisper: Communicate subtly with mortals.

As the list unfurled, Philippe felt an intangible shift, granting him a semblance of presence. He still had no body, no defined form, but now he could perceive the world beyond this void.

"Divine Sense," he thought, willing it to activate.

The void around him dissolved, revealing a tumultuous world below. Battles raged across fragmented lands, with clans clashing in relentless warfare. Smoke curled from burning villages, and bodies littered the blood-soaked fields. The cries of the dying filled the air, mixing with the triumphant shouts of victors.

Amidst the chaos, two young boys stood out—one with wild black hair and fiery eyes, the other with a calm demeanor and gentle gaze.

"Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju," Philippe recognized from his memories of the Naruto series. "So, I've arrived during the Warring States Period."

The era was notorious for its endless conflicts, where children were thrust into battles, and life expectancy was grim. The Uchiha and Senju clans, in particular, were fierce rivals, their enmity staining the land with blood.

[New Mission: Establish Your First Believer]

Reward: 100 Fate Points

Philippe pondered. "To gain believers, I must first interact with this world. But how?"

He reviewed his starter abilities. Celestial Whisper. If he couldn't manifest physically, he could at least communicate.

Activating the skill, he directed his thoughts toward young Madara, who sat by a river, skipping stones.

"Child, can you hear me?" Philippe's voice was gentle, almost a breeze.

Madara's hand paused mid-throw, his eyes narrowing. "Who's there?"

"A friend," Philippe replied. "One who wishes to guide you."

Madara stood, scanning his surroundings. "Show yourself!"

"I cannot, for I lack form," Philippe explained. "But I can offer counsel."

Madara's suspicion was palpable. "Why should I trust a disembodied voice?"

"Because even the mightiest seek guidance," Philippe countered. "Do you not desire an end to this ceaseless war?"

The boy's eyes softened, shadows of loss flickering within. "What do you know of it?"

"I know that hatred begets hatred," Philippe said. "But with the right path, peace is attainable."

Madara scoffed. "Peace? In this world?"

"It starts with belief," Philippe urged. "Believe in a future where children aren't warriors."

Madara was silent, the weight of his thoughts pressing down.

[Belief Seed Planted]

[Mission Progress: 50%]

Encouraged, Philippe sought out Hashirama, finding him training alone in a secluded grove.

"Young Senju," Philippe called out.

Hashirama halted, looking around in confusion. "Who's there?"

"A guide," Philippe answered. "One who sees potential in you."

Hashirama smiled softly. "A disembodied mentor? How intriguing."

"You possess a kind heart," Philippe observed. "One that seeks harmony."

Hashirama's expression grew somber. "Harmony is a luxury in these times."

"But not an impossibility," Philippe countered. "With conviction, you can lead others toward it."

Hashirama nodded slowly. "Perhaps."

[Belief Seed Planted]

[Mission Progress: 100%]

[Mission Complete: Establish Your First Believer]

[Reward: 100 Fate Points Granted]

Philippe felt a surge of energy, the Fate Points integrating into his essence.

[New Ability Unlocked: Ethereal Manifestation]

Description: Temporarily project a ghostly form visible to mortals.

Eager to utilize his new power, Philippe focused on Madara, appearing before the boy as a translucent figure.

Madara's eyes widened. "You... you have a form now."

"Thanks to your belief," Philippe acknowledged. "Together, we can sow the seeds of change."

Madara's gaze was intense. "What must I do?"

"Continue to grow stronger," Philippe advised. "But remember, true strength lies not just in power, but in unity."

Madara clenched his fists. "Unity with the Senju? They are our enemies."

"Today, perhaps," Philippe conceded. "But the future is unwritten."

As days turned into weeks, Philippe guided both boys, nurturing their inherent desires for peace. Through subtle interventions, he influenced skirmishes, preventing unnecessary bloodshed and fostering moments of understanding between rival clans.

One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Madara sat by the river, deep in thought.

"Lost in contemplation?" Philippe's ethereal form appeared beside him.

Madara sighed. "I met a boy today. A Senju. We spoke... as friends."

Philippe smiled. "And how did it feel?"

"Strange," Madara admitted. "But also... right."

"Hold onto that feeling," Philippe encouraged. "It is the foundation of the world you wish to build."

Unbeknownst to Madara and Hashirama, their burgeoning friendship, influenced by Philippe's guidance, would lay the groundwork for a future where peace was not just a dream, but a reality.

And as Philippe continued his journey, gathering believers and Fate Points, he moved one step closer to his own ascension, intertwining his destiny with that of the world he had come to cherish.
