Now that the chunin exams were over, things calmed down considerably, so Yuna decided to make some preparations for the future. Currently, she was climbing a mountain. But she was not climbing some random mountain; she was climbing Cloud-Peek Mountain, the highest mountain in the Elemental Nations that was in the middle of the Land of Frost.
Well, the word "climbing" didn't fit the situation entirely. Yuna had both of her hands in her pockets, wore light clothing, and was currently walking up an almost vertical cliff. Despite the freezing temperature, the heavy wind, and her light clothing, Yuna had a comfortable expression on her face as she was leisurely walking up the mountain.
While walking, she closed her eyes, spread her senses, and moments later, she hummed in satisfaction.
'Yup, this place should work out well.'
[What in the world are you planning, Yuna?]
'Hehe, you will see. It's something important for the future.'
After a few more minutes of walking, she reached the peak of the mountain, and moments later, a colossal ice sword appeared in her hands, and her whole body got covered in blue, red, and white chakra that was mimicking the form of an eight-tailed fox.
"Well, let's get to work."
Yuna concentrated for a short moment and then swung her sword horizontally through the mountain, slicing a good chunk of its peak off, creating a plain that was surprisingly smooth considering how it was made.
Simultaneously, hundreds of small ice pillars rose from the freshly sliced plain and supported the top part of the mountain so that it wouldn't crash down again. Yuna's arms continued swinging around her sword as the top part of the mountain was cut into more manageable slices that were then transported away by her tails.
After about an hour of work, Yuna had created a perfectly smooth plain without any blemishes and a diameter of about 25 meters, the perfect canvas for what she was about to do.
[Okay, be honest with me. On a scale from one to ten, how much does this have to do with world domination?]
Yuna chuckled in amusement at Kurama's words before shaking her head.
'You know full well that I have no interest in world domination.'
[That didn't answer my question.]
'*Urgh* Fine. Although I have no interest in world domination, if I had to give what I'm about to do a rating, I would give it a three, maybe a four.'
[Oh? That is surprisingly low. I am surprised. In that case, let me change the question. On a scale from one to ten, how much does this have to do with pranking people?]
'Well, this might surprise you, but almost nothing. A two at best.'
[WHAT!?]
Yuna snickered due to Kurama's outburst, walked towards the middle of the freshly created plain, and sat down cross-legged. Her eight tails vanished and were replaced by eight chains instead. Yuna took a deep breath, and moments later, the emotions on her face disappeared while the tips of her chains started glowing blue.
All eight chains started moving independently and began carving a ridiculously complex array of seals into the newly created plateau while Yuna was simply sitting cross-legged in the middle of it.
Around half an hour later, Yuna's chains stopped moving, and Yuna sighed in relief as emotions returned to her face.
'*Phew* That was exhausting. Oh well, let's start this bad boy, and then we can go back.'
[I have a terrible feeling about this.]
'Geez, don't be like that, Kurama. I swear that this is nothing dangerous.'
Moments later, Yuna's chakra cloak appeared again as she started pumping ridiculous amounts of chakra into the middle of the seals.
[Are you sure this isn't something dangerous? The chakra expenditure is ridiculous.]
'Yeah, no worries. It's only hard to activate. As soon as it is started, it will run independently.'
A few seconds later, all the seals Yuna had previously drawn shone in white light, and a short moment later, they simply stopped doing so, without any change in the surroundings.
[Thank god, that was a dud.]
'Why are you thanking me first and then calling my creation a dud? It works exactly as it is supposed to.'
[Okay, I'll just ignore the god comment for now. What do you mean by "It works as intended"? It isn't doing anything.]
'Oh? Are you sure about that?'
Kurama frowned when he heard Yuna's words, and he started paying more attention to what was happening on the outside. After a short moment of thinking, his eyes widened in surprise.
[Natural Energy is gathering at a slow pace inside your seal array!]
'Correct! The insides of the seal will slowly accumulate more Natural Energy. This is basically a slow-loading Natural Energy battery that solely focuses on capacity while paying no attention to the accumulation speed. If I calculated everything correctly, this should be more or less full when we need it.'
Kurama thought about Yuna's words some more before nodding his head in understanding.
[I see, you will use it at that time to speed up our progress, huh? That certainly makes sense.]
'Well, let's put the finishing touches on this and get back to Suna. Konoha's delegation should be leaving soon, and I don't want to pull a Kakashi and come a few hours late.'
Yuna took out a total of ten kunai and pierced them evenly into the ground around her freshly created seal, and moments later, a pure white dome covered the plateau. Yuna inspected the dome, and after seeing that everything was in place, she nodded in satisfaction.
'Good, although clouds almost always cover the peak of this mountain, this should prevent anyone from seeing what happened to its peak even if the clouds were gone. Additionally, even if someone randomly decided to climb this mountain, the dome can easily deny them access and will warn me that there is a possible intruder as well. With this, everything should be in place.'
Yuna gave her new creation another look before nodding her head in satisfaction and teleporting back to Suna.

For a moment there, I thought she was making a spot for a sect or something…
I could still be fore a sect, it is a very large area. but it is also likely to be for Yuna's and Naruto's cultivation.
@Jessy a temple
Thanks like always
Yuna forgot to name her creation... a good work needs to have a good name made when it's finished
[Usurping the Heavens God Forming Natural Array]
@Basically_God [Uzumaki's Divine Realm Shattering Godly Daoist Array Of Usurping The Heavens And Earth]
Best name I could come up with because I ran out of poecilonyms for heavenly.
....and I just realized.
Kurama and Yuna are gonna cultivate together, aren't they?
.....yeah, she's going to be so much stronger than in her last life.
I thought for sure she was gonna make a nuke thingy but for cakes so she can drown a city or village with a push of a big red button
Konoha's delegation should be leave soon, and I don't want to pull a Kakashi and come a few hours late.'
leave —> leaving
Thx, fixed
We're finally getting close to the end of this journey.Thank you for everything Maerry, it's been a good journey so far, and I'm anticipating how you choose to end this.
Wait, what? Did Maerry mention when the novel was going to end?
@BunkerMonk It’s slowly reaching the end of the anime
@BunkerMonk no but if you read this chapter it looks like Yuna will be reaching near godhood power levels soon, which means there will be no one in the Naruto world capable of fighting her, so she'll probably move to another world. Also Maerry said this novel probably wouldn't reach Shippuden. Using all of this evidence I've simply come to the conclusion that we're nearing the point where either Maerry will be forcing the story to go on past the point the story should be concluded at, or we'll read an end to this story.
@Tunefullcobra Huh? When did I say that we wouldn't reach Shippuuden? We will definitely reach Shippuuden, but it will be much shorter than it was in canon while skipping quite a few arcs.
@Maerry I could've sworn you told arfits that you probably wouldn't cover Shippuden in the comments section of one of the chapters in the early 100s, I forget which one though as it has been a while and I haven't tried re reading this.
Tune is saying that Maerry wont cover what happens in Shippuden , while I think Maerry is saying that we will reach up to Shippuden.
Wait, what's the difference between naruto and naruto shippuden? I read the manga only so I have no clue what they did with the anime. Is it like a 2nd season? Or is it an entire remake?
@Duckfero second season.
@Duckfero "Naruto" ends after Naruto went with Jiraiya to travel after Sasuke left the village and "Shippuden" starts after the three-year time skip and ends after Kaguya's defeat.
@Tunefullcobra I am not sure what comment you are referring to, but Shippuden will definitely happen but will be mostly different from canon. What I mean by saying that Shippuden will happen is that the time period (when Naruto and co are older) and stuff like the fourth Shinobi war will happen. Maybe there lays the misunderstanding?
@Tunefullcobra Let me clear up the misunderstanding: What Maerry won’t be covering is Boruto, not Shippuden. Shippuden is still happening.
@Maerry But if you still feel like doing the next generation, then forget fanfic, you could practically make it your own story…
I would love it if it continued past the Naruto stuff, but ignored the boruto stuff. Since Yuna is too much fun to read
