NARUTO: The Saga of Crimson Monarch

Chapter 15: Building the Future



Ares begins to solidify his vision for the future of his island kingdom, blending strategic foresight with boundless ambition. While the excitement of building "The Great Tomb of Nazarick" still pulses within him, he knows that constructing a safe and thriving kingdom goes beyond the walls of his castle. It's about ensuring that his people—whenever they arrive—will have a place to live without the constant threat of danger looming over them.

Ares reflects on the future, knowing full well that the island's current state is far from ideal. The wild beasts, monstrous creatures, and the hazardous environment are obstacles he must address. He's not just constructing a castle; he's laying down the foundation for an entire kingdom. "This is a long-term project, and one I'll see through to the end," he mutters to himself, his mind already racing ahead. "Safety, order, and strength—those are the pillars of my kingdom."

One of the first steps in Ares' strategic plan is to construct massive walls, reminiscent of the imposing walls in Attack on Titan. These aren't just for show; they will be the kingdom's first line of defense against the dangerous creatures that roam the island. But Ares knows that walls alone won't suffice. His mind quickly moves to the next layer of protection: a double-proof barrier. Combining his mastery of Ninjutsu with his knowledge of defensive techniques, Ares begins to craft a barrier capable of detecting and repelling any intruders or threats. This is no ordinary security measure; it is a powerful, mystical force that will ensure the safety of his kingdom for generations to come.

"I'm a professional in this kind of work," Ares thinks as he assesses the scale of his project. "It's not a problem for me. I have skills, time, and the determination to make it happen." His long life affords him the luxury of patience and strategic planning. He knows he doesn't have to rush; the kingdom's foundations must be strong and unshakeable.

As he works alongside Ely, Fenrir , and his slime summoning beast, Ares imagines a kingdom that blends the best of both medieval and Japanese architecture. The wooden, elegant structures of traditional Japanese homes will stand alongside the sturdy stone of medieval fortresses. Together, they will create a harmonious, yet formidable, landscape. Ares smiles to himself, envisioning the breathtaking sight of it all coming together. "This will be a kingdom worthy of legend."

Not stopping at just walls and houses, Ares plans to build roads inspired by the Roman Empire, strengthening them with his knowledge and abilities. Roads will be the veins of his kingdom, allowing for smooth travel and trade, connecting all the vital parts of his land. But Ares doesn't forget the basics. He knows that a kingdom's infrastructure must be practical, not just grand. He starts thinking about the drainage system, an often-overlooked but vital element. Without it, floods will ravage low-lying areas, causing untold damage and health hazards. Ares can't afford that kind of oversight. With his strategic mind, he begins to map out an advanced drainage system that will ensure water flows away from the city and its homes, keeping his people safe and his land prosperous.

The project is massive—an undertaking that will take years, maybe decades, to fully complete—but Ares doesn't mind. His heart beats with excitement, but his mind is focused on the long-term. "I have time," he tells himself. "And I'll build it right."
