NARUTO: The Saga of Crimson Monarch

Ares' journey of kingdom-building has now reached a monumental moment in his life, one that combines both his ambitions and deep reflections on his own growth. As he stands on the tallest Wall Maria, the weight of his achievements presses upon him, filling him with both pride and nostalgia. The sight of his kingdom—the three massive walls, the towering cathedral, and the thriving land he has shaped—fills him with a sense of fulfillment. And yet, a part of him is still missing. He reflects on the spiritual importance of what he has created, as he prepares to add a grand Cathedral to the kingdom, a place for worship and reflection. In a world of shinobi war, faith offers the inner strength needed to endure hardship.

The decision to build a Cathedral stems from Ares' belief in the power of faith and spirituality. In a kingdom built on strength and protection, he wants to create a space that nurtures the spirit as well as the body. As he gathers the strength for his next task, Ares feels the weight of his past and his sense of responsibility for the future. It's not just about power or grandeur—it's about creating a place where people can find peace, hope, and a sense of purpose.

With his characteristic drive and determination, Ares activates his Shadow Clone Jutsu, calling forth an army of clones to assist him in the monumental task ahead. "Shinzō wo Sasageyo! ( Dedicate your heart! )" he calls, rallying his companions and summoning his inner strength as he starts his next big project. Ares' excitement, tempered by the years of hard work, is palpable as he pours his heart into every brick and every design of the Cathedral, ensuring it's a testament to both his power and his faith.

Many years later, when the Cathedral is finally complete, Ares stands in awe of his creation. Tears well up in his eyes as he gazes upon the kingdom he's built with his own hands. The walls, the Cathedral, and the land he's shaped all stand as monuments to his vision, his sacrifices, and his growth. Ares' heart swells with pride as he stands at the top of Wall Maria, reflecting on the inner walls (Sina), the outer walls (Rose), and the Mantlewall (Maria) that now divide his kingdom into tiers of privilege. These walls aren't just fortifications; they represent the society Ares has envisioned—a place where those who contribute and sacrifice will be honored, and where even the most vulnerable can find refuge.

Ares' tears are a mixture of pride and bittersweet memories of Hans, his adoptive father, who always taught him the value of resilience, effort, and sacrifice. As he stands there, he wishes he could share the beauty of his creation with Hans. But he knows that the foundation Hans built in him is part of the kingdom he's creating today. Ares smiles through his tears, holding onto the belief that Hans would be proud of what he's achieved.

With companion's by his side and Rimuru, his adorable summoning beast, Ares takes a moment to capture the beauty of the world he's created. He pulls out his iPad, taking a picture with his companions, a symbol of the joy and pride he feels. His heart is full, his vision realized, and the kingdom he has built is a reflection of his unshakable will and determination.

Ares looks toward the future, knowing that there is more to come. He has created a kingdom that honors the past, protects the present, and offers hope for the future. He will continue to work, plan, and build, but for now, he allows himself this moment of triumph, surrounded by the beauty of his creations and the love of his companions.
