5 chapter 5: I'm what?

Liara stared blankly for a second at Madara, 'The one who is considered the second Shinobi god, just called me a goddess and is kneeling to me. So, note to self, ask the system about this later.' She exhaled, "I hate to burst your bubble Madara but, I don't think that I am worthy of that title at the moment." She looked down and saw concern in his black eyes for a moment. She then thought, 'knowing his personality he'll do something to make me one.'

She closed her eyes to think of a way to phrase it for him not to act on some flawless plan to make her into this worlds goddess. She obviously didn't want him to cause a world war for true peace as he had. She then thought, 'oh, fuck it, I'll just blame it on Katsuya and the elders.'

She opened her eyes figuring he would want an explanation, "Due to a conflict with my elder cousin and some elders over some changes I wanted to make to some ancient laws made for the clans that served our Pantheon. I was forced to come to this world and take this girls body." She looked down in sympathy before continuing, "Unfortunately, this girl was in bad condition so, I can't use the battle skills I learned when I was young. So, I had to use some of my remaining power to summon your soul to help me."

Madara was quiet for a while as he was pondering over his goddess' words. He said, "whether you are in mortal form or not, you are still my goddess and you have given me a chance to live again." he gave a deeper kneel and said, "I will do my best to gain enough power to protect Goddess-sama and help you gain revenge on those elder gods." his gaze was on the floor and his eyes had changed to the Sharingan due to his emotions he had over his goddess' story.

She thought, 'I can't believe he bought that...I mean most of it is true but, still. even Yatagarasu could poke holes in this.' she exhaled as she read a response from the system, *'it is because his soul is connected to Host. All people reincarnated by the system will be completely loyal and see Host as their goddess. when host summons a soul with great spirit power or a soul who has matured, the more power host has on their soul.'* She thought, 'makes sense.'

She said, "Madara, you don't have to do that. I know you dislike weaklings and currently, one move from you could kill me right now. So, until I have gained enough of my power back; you can call me Liara. I know this may seem sacrilegious to you but, in the world you came from, you were also considered as a god."

He tensed a bit before speaking, "My goddess, please forgive my rudeness but, I am not worthy enough to call you by name. They may see me as a god in my last life and I dislike weaklings but, you are my goddess; whether you are a mortal or not, I shall be your subordinate and believer for this and the next."

She exhaled and put a hand on his shoulder, "I appreciate your sentiment but according to this girls memories, any attack can kill me at the moment. So, I would like to go low profile until, we have enough power." She moved to see his face which seemed to hold a look of admiration and fanatical adoration. She thought, 'if he only knew that I really am just a mortal and not some god, immortal or whatever. Hell knowing Kyra, she would be jealous and continually bug him for a spar constantly.'

She said gently, "Since, you don't want to call me by my first name; how about calling me by the nickname my friends gave me? It shouldn't be an issue for you to call me, Lil until, you reach...hmm, let me think..." she thought, 'hmm, what would be a good goal for him? let's see, they have two branches of power...technically three but, I doubt he would want to go to the church of the light god for a few years to be a priest and I currently need him as a bodyguard. So, I should give him a choice of a kind rank on combat or a grand mage in magic.' She said, "how about you can call me by name when you reach king rank in fighting or grand mage?"

Madara watched her and said, "understood," he felt honored by his goddess' words and would speak more but, a commotion came from outside which, caught their attention. He moved in a protective manner in front of her as he remembered that his goddess was weak at the moment and he was her only follower.

She said, "let's check out what's going on." She walked forward as she saw his slight nod. She exhaled before adding, "Madara, when we're in public treat me as the chiefs daughter until, we're strong enough...and you may have to pretend to be your bodies predecessor until, we know the situation."

He said, "understood Princess." He was respectful until, they came outside to see what was going on. Due to the connection the system made, she could sense his displeasure of acting like his predecessor. She blinked a bit before seeing for the first time in this life what this world looked like.
