AN: A few times skips.

Chapter 6

Naruto stared at the silver and red spear that floated in front of him. It was made of a magic based metal he created. While it was nothing fancy, it was a sign that he was getting better. Manipulating the four primordial elements was difficult; especially since he was experimenting with creation.

Making weapons was simple, but he needed to go a bit bigger. Setting the spear to the side he took a breath and then concentrated. He willed the four energies into form while basing it on what he desired. After fully Visualizing his desire he molded the energies together, and within the span of six minutes he had created a miniature moon, a sun, and a condensed orb of grass, dirt, and water.

All were six times larger than his body.

The moon and orb were circling the sun, just as a normal planetary system would. The construct floated in front of him, and was impressive. Especially since none of his clan members had gotten to this level. To create something from nothing and he was doing it the hard way.

This was different from the spell create greater item which solely utilized magic. It was a very low form of creation. Anyone with enough training could use it. What he was doing involved creating the building blocks of raw creation, and life itself.

For four years he'd trained this skill, and for five years his power rose and his body changed. His hair now reached his waist with it becoming red as it got longer. And, his whisker birthmarks were now much more defined. He was close to something incredible, he could feel it in his very soul. He just needed one last piece to bring it all out, but he didn't know what this thing was.

'Still haven't aged, it looks like your body has been channeling mass amounts of quintessence.' Kurama said. 'Explains why you don't need to eat or sleep as much along with the advanced healing factor.'

"I can still die though." Naruto reminded the fox. "Still this is kind of cool, and kinda scary at the same time."

'Yeah, well what's really scary is how big you can make these things.' Kurama said. 'If I didn't know any better I'd say you're well on your way to creating your own solar system.'

"How so?"

'You have most of the steps mastered so now all you really need is to make them bigger, and establish a proper blanket.' Kurama explained.

"Yeah, well that's the overall goal just in case this planet turns out to be a bust." He said.

Naruto had faith, but after four years he had become a bit paranoid about their goal. They needed a backup plan just in case, and he had the perfect plan. Kind of.

He understood how a planet worked and how life developed. He understood the sun, moon, and gravity. All he needed was to make the celestial bodies massive, and strong enough to last for billions upon billions of years. This was the backup plan, and he prayed that he could do it if needed.

'I'd say you're demi-god level at this point.' Kurama said.

"You think so?" – "That was never the goal, but with this much control I guess you're right."

The blonde dismissed the mini celestial bodies. Getting up he let out a yawn and stretched out a bit before heading to his room. The room itself was big, and had more than enough space for him.

Changing into his pajamas, he laid down. He wanted to rest for a bit. Regaining the magic lost from the creation magic he used. If he had to put it in percentage, he used up eight percent. Not to mention he simply wanted to rest.

285 Years Later – Space – Ark

Everything was in the green from the life signs to the core stability. They were getting to their destination without incident. Well without any incidents that could actively hinder them.

Outside the ship was a massive stream of bright blue energy that went somewhere. He could sense the trail that it created, and how powerful it was. Best to avoid it for the time being. If there was another then he would investigate. After his people were properly settled of course.

"Just 261 years to go, and then we'll be home." Naruto said.

His gaze now on the thousands of cryo pods.

"Please wait a while longer."

Taking a breath, he backed away, and sat in his captain's chair. Kurama was sleeping, he had been for the past 83 years. Specifically he was hibernating until he was needed. This left Naruto alone with his thoughts.

Despite this, he'd taken time to work on terminology for certain things. Like the pink and purple sphere that he had pulled out of his pocket dimension spell. He called it inventory because the name was too long for his liking.

"Let's see, if I remember correctly, you have the ability to capture spells, and rebound them with enough power to level a village." He nodded. "Let's call you Mirror Sphere."

He put it back, and then pulled out a bracelet. It had a single, small blue gem.

"You've got a wish granting ability." He frowned. "Going to have to link you up with me so nobody can make stupid wishes." – "And I'll call you, Wish Apprentice."

The last thing he needed was for someone to wish for an ultimate whatever. So if someone tries to make a wish, he has to approve it or reject it. The bracelet manipulated time-space alongside some creation magic. Needless to say it was incredibly powerful.

The next item was a tanto dagger with a black blade. It emitted nether magic, specifically a powerful spell. Along with some seals. The spell, Soul Rend, it could take the targets soul. The seals must keep the souls inside the blade.

Without hesitation he destroyed the blade, and went onto the next item. Another tanto blade, but this one had a white blade.

"Wait a second."

He investigated it further. The runes and seals were incredibly advanced, but he could understand them. This blade was insanely precise with an area of effect that went on for 7,926 miles all around. The targets varied from undead, demons, and anything that uses nether magic and wasn't a ninshu.

"Decimation."

That's what he would call this blade. That's what his clan must've had in mind when they created it. Kill everything that used nether magic or was created by it. But, undead were extremely rare, and demons could only be summoned. Not to mention nether magic was exclusive to their clan since they had a contract with the god of death.

So, what was the point of this weapon? Was there some sort of threat that they'd seen coming? If that was the case then the weapon was useless. So, he would store it. A small part of him told him that he should be ready to bring it out.

261 Years Later – Space – Ark

It was beautiful, no it was beyond perfect, and he absolutely loved it. At least that's what he wanted to feel, but he could only feel horror. Horror beyond what Madara had given him during the war.

The satellite was there, but the planet was nothing but a broken mess. A mess that made someone as powerful as him turn pale. At least until he thought about the backup plan.

Doing it was one thing, but he wasn't sure how long it would take. At such a scale he would need time to speed up the process. However that would take thousands of years, maybe more, and the ship didn't have that kind of time. It had a set amount of everything, and it wasn't made to last for a thousand years.

"The sun and moon are simple enough so that shouldn't take long, but a habitable planet is the problem." – "This would be easier with an empty space, but…"

The moon was completely destroyed as well. While the sun had become a red giant, and it looked unstable.

"Damn thing is gonna go supernova soon."

He closed his eyes, trying to think of a solution for this. This plan was a bust and there was nowhere else to go.

"Where could I–"

"The Astral Plane." Kurama said as his ethereal chakra head emerged from Naruto's shoulder.

The fox let out a yawn as stood up inside the seal. The situation was dire as evident by Naruto's internal strife. His negative emotions, specifically his fear, had been enough to awaken him.

"We take the ship into the Astral Plane and then you proceed with the backup plan." Kurama suggested. "There, we'll have more than enough time to work."

Naruto nodded in agreement. Taking a breath he opened a portal to the Astral Plane. Flying the ship inside, he and Kurama immediately felt the effects on their physical bodies. Their senses were off for a few seconds before they adjusted.

Once the portal closed, Naruto closed his eyes and readied himself for the task ahead. This would take everything he had and more.

Teleporting outside he immediately sensed two familiar people. Hagoromo and Lui Kang, both were on the ship, watching him like hawks. There was a good chance they knew this would happen, but he would address that later.

"Alright."

Naruto closed his eyes and went into a state of deep concentration. Molding his magic, chakra, and quintessence. He couldn't just make the solar system here, he needed a barrier like Lui Kang's Kombat universe did. It had to be inside a massive, near-perfect vacuum.

Activating his six paths mode, he used a powerful jutsu infused with a spell.

"Creation of All Things!"

In that moment quantum uncertainty became certainty as a flash of light, heat, and various other particles came into existence. Growing and expanding at an insane rate. Taking up a large space of the infinite void that was the Astral Plane.

Then something cracked and then it broke. Naruto felt something flooding through his body. A power that shifted his soul and changed it at its deepest level. His body breaks apart for a moment before reforming with Kurama calming down once it was back together.

The four energies that kept a universe alive spread out into the vastness of this new space. A space that was expanding, becoming more than a solar system. It was becoming something more.

Billions upon billions celestial bodies came back into existence as a life force was perfectly established. Unknown to Naruto, the energy flowing contained evolutionary properties. Properties that were affecting his people.

"A universe?"

Now he realized what he was creating, and how much power he was using. The latter he felt was without limit. He could do so much more. Taking his skills into account along with this new power, he allowed his imagination to guide some of the process. He would jump start the process of intelligent life forming, and check in later.

"Shouldn't forget my goal." He said. "I'll make this one special, better than the others."

He had to since it would be the home of his species. It would be wonderful beyond comprehension. Naruto had yet to notice that there were quite a bit of people watching him from inside the ship. His absence had triggered an emergency system that woke up those who could pilot in his stead. They'd been watching in awe for a while now.

"A perfect planet."

Naruto began to laugh as his divinity began to consume him.

"A planet all our own!"

At that moment those watching from inside the ship now believed with complete certainty that Naruto Uzumaki had become a deity. One that embodied creation itself, and one who was now part of a larger force in all of existence.
