Chapter 32: Guarding the God Tree

Yukari felt her training had paid off after finishing her first real fight. She looked around the battlefield, thinking, 'I could of definitely finish this fight quickly, but the experience I gained was worth with. This guy's strength was clearly below Low Otsutsuki rank.'

Yukari created three clones and assigned them the task of removing the corpses and cleaning up the battlefield. She walked past the corpses, unbothered by her massacare, until she saw Yumi on top of the God tree. "Yumi, come here, girl!" she exclaimed sweetly. Yumi leapt from the tree, spinning her ten tails like a helicopter blade. She thought Yumi looked so cute gliding down.

"All right, Yumi, it's time for you to form a bond with the God Tree," she said while positioning Yumi near the trunk of the God Tree. "I hope you'll be able to talk to me after. I am getting lonely being by myself," she said, knowing she wouldn't be able to communicate with her once she was bonded. Yumi nuzzled her cute white head towards her feet, giving her good bye.

Yukari looked at Yumi hopping away and touched the God Tree. She gave me one last look and phased through into the tree. The ground began to shake as Yukari felt the bond between Yumi and the God Tree forming.

She watched in awe as Yumi's body glowed with a bright light, and then she disappeared entirely into the trunk of the tree. Yukari couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness as she realized that her companion was now gone, unable to communicate with her anymore. She stood there for a moment, silently thinking about her mother.

The ground began to shake, and Yukari's eyes widened in amazement as she watched the God Tree's branches spread out like roots, intertwining with the earth. She couldn't believe what she was seeing, it was as if the tree was coming to life right before her very eyes.

As the God Tree's branches began to spread out in all direction looking for life, it started to borrow into the ground. The earth shook, and Yukari could see the soil being displaced as the giant branches searched for life.

The force caused small trees and shrubs to be uprooted and rocks to be pushed aside. Yukari realized that the power of the God Tree was immense, and felt its presence inside the earth beneath her feet.

She floated over the ground and activated her Byakugen, but the gorund continued to shake beneath her feet. However, she was too engrossed in the spectacle unfolding in front of her.

She saw a Ten-Tail beast within the ground and Yumi in the center spreading its chakra and bonding to the Ten-Tails. "It's incredible that the tree has reached its final stage of maturing," she said, knowing that the God Tree has been on this planet for nearly a thousand years.

"Hahaha, thank you, Yumi. In five years, I'll cast Infinite Tsukiyomi and reactive the God Tree, and all life and natural energy will cease to exist. The fruit will be mine." She laughed and licked her lips, looking forward to tasting the fruit.

Gradually, the shaking subsided, and the tree stood tall and imposing. 'It is time to protect the tree. Fortunately, based on my memories, the tree is located far away from other kingdoms. Otherwise, they would all die for those who imposed me.'

She approached the God tree and laid her hands on it, "Yumi, we'll meet again soon," she said. Yukari felt the God Tree pulsed responding back to her. She smiled and walked away, noticing her clones had vanished and the battlefield had been cleaned up as if no battle had ever occurred.

A sinister smirk crossed her face as she walked away from the God tree. She created a clone of herself that transformed into Halard. "You know what to do. Make sure no one knows I'm here and visits this place." Her Halhard clone nodded and flickered away as she spoke solemnly.

"What am I supposed to do now?" she wondered. "Hmmm, I should build a sensing barrier around this area to alert me if anyone approaches. I definitely do not want to be here for another five years."

She began to use Fuinjustu and placed her hand on the ground, and various symbols appeared in a circle around Yukari. "Fuinjustu: Sensing Barrier," she said as a massive translucent dome began to spread out around Yukari and cover the entire God Tree and surrounding area.

Yukari took a deep breath and stepped back to examine her work. The dome was invisible to the naked eye, but she could feel its presence. She knew that if anyone approached the God Tree, the barrier would alert her immediately.

She pulled out a crystal ball and sent chakra to the ball linking it to the barrier. With this setup, Yukari could see everything within the barrier, even if she wasn't physically present there. Any movement or activity would be immediately detected by the barrier and relayed to her through the crystal ball.

She knew that she could finally rest easy knowing that she had complete control over the area and everything within it. "Time to relax." Satisfied with her creation, she turned her attention back to the main task at hand. "Time to eat one of Mommy's foods," she said, smiling and dissappeared into a portal.
