Where should Yukina go after the Fourth ninja war?
Bleach 59

Some of you advised me to do both cultivation world and Bleach after I finish writing Yukina's adventure in the Naruto universe, but I decided against it.
I hope I didn't disappoint any of you with my decision.
This poll will be open until I finish writing the 3rd ninja war saga
I hope you enjoy the chapter.

With Yukina
Shattered ice drifted across a glassy pond, each ice fragment catching the light like a distant star, while the still, clear water mirrored the sky above
"PPPSSSSHHHH."
Yukina's unconscious body floated at the center of the pond, pale and still. Wisps of white smoke drifted from every inch of her skin, curling into the air like mist. The wounds across her torso began to close rapidly, healing with a speed that defied belief.
Not far from the pond, Bright and Okamichi sat on the ground, their eyes fixed on Yukina. She was now completely shrouded in a thick veil of white smoke, her figure entirely obscured. A sharp, whistling sound cut through the air, rising and falling like the breath of the strange phenomenon enveloping her.
As Yukina's wounds mended, the ice shards on the pond began to melt, vanishing one by one in a slow, steady rhythm
After twenty minutes, Yukina stirred, her eyelids fluttering open. Confusion washed over her as she realized she was floating in the middle of a pond.
She pushed herself to her feet, eyes widening in disbelief when she saw her torso—once torn and bloodied—now flawless, without even the faintest scar.
Suddenly, a bone-deep chill seized Yukina, and she realized her hospital garment clung to her skin, drenched and icy. Without hesitation, she gathered her chakra and started molding it.
The heat of her chakra slowly seeped through her trembling body, radiating warmth that spread like wildfire, thawing the cold that clung to her every nerve
Suddenly, Yukina heard a voice, soft yet urgent, like that of a young boy: "Hey, girl, come here. The supreme elder wants to meet with you."
As Yukina shifted her gaze toward the voice, she spotted Bright and Okamichi standing close by.
Her eyes widened in shock at the sheer size of Okamichi, and she cried out in disbelief.
"HOLY CRAP! YOU ARE THE BIGGEST WOLF I'VE EVER LAID EYES ON! WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY FEEDING YOU TO GROW THAT MASSIVE?"
Okamichi's proud, thunderous laughter exploded through the forest, rippling through the trees and shaking the leaves, as Yukina's comment sank in.
"DAHAHAHAHAHA! I LIKE YOU, GIRL! OF COURSE, I AM HUGE FOR A MERE HUMAN. I AM OKAMICHI—ONE OF THE TEN GREAT GENERALS OF THE DIRE WOLF CLAN. REMEMBER MY NAME."
Bright eyebrows twitched and started scolding Okamichi: "uncle Okamichi the supreme elder is waiting; he instructed me to bring this human girl to meet with him after she is completely healed."
"If we keep him waiting any longer, he'll lose his temper—and I have no desire to be anywhere near the Supreme Elder when he snaps. Enough delays—let's go!"
Okamichi nodded fearfully at Bright's words. Without another moment's hesitation, he barked at Yukina, 'Girl, get on my back—we need to leave. Now.'
A smirk tugged at Yukina's lips, her eyes alight with excitement. She sprang from the pond in a single, fluid motion and touched down on Okamichi's back as lightly as falling snow.
Okamichi smirked and glanced over his shoulder. "Hang on tight, girl—I won't be slowing down just because you're a human child.
Yukina blinked in confusion, but before she could grasp his meaning, Okamichi vanished like a phantom—his movement fueled by pure, explosive power.
Yukina's breath hitched at the sight before her fingers curled into the coarse weave of Okamichi's kimono, knuckles blanching as she clung to him. Chakra surged to the soles of her feet, rooting her in place with iron resolve—she would not be torn from the broad, unyielding power of his back.
A sudden peal of laughter burst from Yukina, echoing through the air and drawing a stunned look from Bright, who was standing next to her.
"KYAHAHAHAHA, THIS IS SO MUCH FUN BIG WOLF GO FASTER MORE FASTER."
Okamichi's gaze sharpened to a razor's edge; with a burst of power, he drove himself to maximum speed.
Bright lurched, nearly tumbling from Okamichi's back—only for Yukina to snatch him mid-fall, her loud laughter ringing in the air.
"IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT, BIG WOLF? COME ON, SHOW ME WHAT YOU'RE REALLY MADE OF."
"GROWL."
Okamichi's growl deepened in frustration, and he began vaulting wildly through the forest air, trying with all his might to dislodge Yukina from his back.
No matter how hard he tried, Yukina's mastery of her chakra kept her firmly planted on his back, arms crossed, her smug smile daring Okamichi to do better
"SWISH."
Okamichi's annoyance surged as he twisted and turned in a frantic zigzag, hoping to unseat Yukina—but she stood steady, her balance unshaken.
Bright was so terrified that sweat poured down his face as he screamed silently in his head, "No doubt about it—I'm going to die. Why did I even summon this demoness? Uncle Okamichi is out of control. He's so proud he hates losing, and now this demoness is challenging him."
Like a ghost, Okamichi's form blurred and vanished into the depths of the forest

Half an hour later
Okamichi, Bright, and Yukina emerged into the clearing, where Fang and the dark green-furred Dire Wolf sat in silence beside the Supreme Elder, awaiting their arrival
Without a moment's hesitation, Yukina leapt from Okamichi's back with Bright, and the two landed gracefully on the ground.
"GROWL."
Okamichi growled in frustration as Yukina landed gracefully on the ground. "HOW DARE YOU, HUMAN GIRL, REMAIN STANDING ON MY BACK? I AM ONE OF THE TEN GREAT GENERALS OF THE DIRE WOLF CLAN—I WILL NOT TOLERATE SUCH INSOLENCE!"
Yukina burst into laughter at Okamichi's outburst. "KYAHAHAHAHA! That was fun, Big Wolf! But you lost—accept it with dignity. If you hate losing so much, then train harder so you can defeat me next time!"
"HOHOHOHO, such wise words, human child. Well spoken," the Supreme Elder said, offering Yukina a warm, approving smile.
When Yukina heard this, she turned her gaze toward the Supreme Elder, Fang, and the dark green-furred Dire Wolf.
A low whistle escaped her lips as she took in the sheer size of Fang and the striking presence of the dark green-furred Dire Wolf
"Wow, you guys are just as huge as the other wolf! Bet you're all pretty strong. How about a fight? Loser buys sake for the winner!"
Fang and the other two Dire Wolves sweat-dropped at Yukina's bold challenge, while the Supreme Elder burst into hearty laughter.
"HOHOHOHO! You are the second human to speak such a words to the Dire Wolves' great generals. Now I understand why your heart burns like a raging, destructive fire and the hunger that is filling your heart. You truly are a warrior, child."
Yukina frowned in confusion and said, "Old Geezer, have you gone senile? I didn't understand a single word you just said."
"After Yukina spoke those words, Fang, Bright, Okamichi, and the dark green-furred Dire Wolf growled and yelled at her in unison."
"GROWL."
"HOW DARE YOU, HUMAN, BE LITTLE AND INSULT THE SUPREME ELDER? ARE YOU SEEKING DEATH?"
"YOU SHOULD DIE HERE AND NOW FOR YOUR INSOLENCE."
"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU IN THE MOST PAINFUL METHOD THAT EXISTS."
Yukina looked at them fearlessly and said, "Relax, guys—I wasn't insulting the old geezer; I was just making a point, that's all."
When Fang, Okamichi, Bright, and the dark green-furred Dire Wolf heard this, their fury toward Yukina flared, and they were about to lunge at her and tear her to shreds—when suddenly, they froze at the sound of the Supreme Elder's booming laughter.
"HOHOHOHO, you are one fearless child! Tell me, little girl, do you want to sign a contract with our clan?"
When Fang and the others heard these words, they froze in shock, unable to believe what the Supreme Elder had just said. Before any of them could speak, Yukina stepped forward and asked.
"Old geezer, are you asking if I want to sign a summoning contract with you guys?"
The Supreme Elder smirked and gave a slow nod, but the other Dire Wolves erupted in disbelief.
'Supreme Elder, have you lost your mind? This is forbidden! The Majesty will be furious if this human child sign a contract with us!'
The Supreme Elder let out a deep, rumbling chuckle that echoed through the clearing. "Relax, kids," he said, his eyes glinting with ancient wisdom. "This little human girl must first stand before His Majesty and earn his approval. Only then may she attempt the trials; if she survives the trials, she may sign a contract with us."
The Dire wolves sighed in relief upon hearing this, and then the supreme elder smiled at Yukina and asked.
"So, girl, what is your answer? "Are you willing to sign a contract with us?"
Yukina's lips curled into a faint smile as thoughts of Kisame's shark summons crossed her mind. Her grin widened as she mused, "Things are getting really interesting… I wonder just how strong I'll become if I sign a contract with those wolves."
She turned to the Supreme Elder, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and declared, 'Yes, I want to sign a contract with you all.'
The supreme elder chuckled softly at Yukina's response, but his expression quickly grew serious. "Listen, girl," he said, "as I said before, you must first earn our Majesty's approval. It won't be easy, so be prepared."
"There was only one human who earned our respect, and he remains the only human in our history to have signed a contract with us."
"The reason humans are forbidden from signing contracts with us is because we have long since lost all respect for their kind. They wield deceit as a favored weapon—manipulating truth, twisting loyalties, and betraying allies the moment it suits their ambitions."
"To them, honor is a burden, and trust is a tool to be discarded once its purpose is served. Such values stand in direct opposition to everything we hold sacred."
All the Dire Wolves were quiet after hearing the Supreme Elder's words, and they nodded their heads in agreement, but Yukina was looking at the Supreme Elder with a bored look and said,
"Old geezer, I am not here to grovel. I have my pride—so make up your mind already. Do you want me to sign the contract or not? Stop wasting my time."
"GROWL."
"All the Dire Wolves began to growl menacingly, their eyes fixed on Yukina with fierce hostility, while the Supreme Elder simply laughed.
"HOHOHOHO! You're quite the intriguing little human, girl. But let me make one thing perfectly clear to you."
Yukina raised her eyebrows when she heard this and nodded to the Supreme Elder.
The Supreme Elder's expression became serious as he said, 'Even if His Majesty grants you approval to sign a contract with us, you must still pass our trials before the contract can be signed. Be warned—there is an 85% chance you will die attempting them.'
"Do you still want to sign a contract with us, girl?"
Yukina's smirk deepened, eyes gleaming with excitement. "Tell me—will I get to fight strong foes during these trials?"
When all the Dire Wolves heard her, they began to sweat coldly—except for the Supreme Elder, who had anticipated her question.
Okamichi wondered to himself, "Does this human child not fear death? This is madness."
The supreme elder chuckled and nodded before answering, "One of the trials you will face involves combat."
Yukina's crazed smirk curled her lips as she said, "Alright, old geezer, lead me to your king. I'm eager to see just how strong the foes I'll be battling really are."
The Supreme Elder chuckled softly before saying, "Alright, girl, follow me."
Without a word, the Supreme Elder turned and walked off, Yukina quick to follow at his side
Upon seeing this, the Dire Wolves immediately began trailing the duo without hesitation

Forty minutes later
As Yukina followed closely behind the Supreme Elder, her eyes widened in awe at the breathtaking sight around her. The entire forest was blanketed in a thick layer of shimmering ice, its trees glistening like crystal sculptures under the pale light. Even the distant mountains were cloaked in frost, their peaks glowing with a silvery sheen. However, one mountain stood out starkly against the frozen landscape—completely untouched by ice. Its rocky surface remained bare and dark, as if defying the grip of climate itself. The strange contrast stirred a mixture of curiosity within her heart.
The mountain was colossal—so tall that its peak pierced the clouds, vanishing into the mist above. No matter how hard Yukina tried, she couldn't see its summit, as the thick veil of clouds obscured her view.
As Yukina and the others stood before one of the colossal mountains covered in ice, they stopped in their tracks. The Supreme Elder then turned to them and began to speak.
"Okamichi helps the human child to reach the King's palace."
Upon hearing the order, Okamichi gave a nod and barked sharply at Yukina.
"Human girl, onto my back. It's time to climb the mountain and meet His Majesty."
Yukina's smile widened after hearing Okamichi's words; in one fluid motion, she soared into the air and touched down on Okamichi's back like a feather on the wind.
A moment later they all started climbing the mountain with incredible speed.
Yukina was stunned by how fast and agile the wolves were as they scaled the mountain—especially the Supreme Elder, who, despite his frail and elderly appearance, moved with incredible speed and grace.
It didn't take the group long to reach the top of the mountain, and when Yukina saw what awaited them there, her jaw nearly dropped.
At the very summit of the towering mountain stood an enormous palace, its walls crafted entirely from shimmering ice. The palace glistened brilliantly under the sunlight, each side reflecting a dazzling spectrum of colors like a colossal crystal.
Intricate carvings and delicate ice sculptures were around the palace, giving the palace an almost magical appearance.
The palace seemed to pulse with an otherworldly chill, its frozen surfaces emitting a soft, frosty glow that illuminated the surrounding snow-covered peaks.
Despite the harsh cold, the palace radiated a serene beauty, as if it were a frozen jewel crowning the mountain's peak.
The palace was incredibly huge—Yukina felt as tiny as an ant standing before its towering walls.
Yukina could feel that the palace radiated ancient and powerful vibes, both from its design and the aura it emanated.
She was utterly mesmerized by the palace's ancient design; it was a true work of art.
When Yukina saw the Supreme Elder start walking toward the palace without a word, she gracefully landed and followed him, alongside the other Dire Wolves.
Hearing footsteps approach, the gate guard swiftly grabbed their spear from their back and slammed it forcefully into the ground.
"BAAM."
"HALT, THIS IS A FORBIDDEN AREA; LEAVE NOW."
However, their eyes widened in shock when they saw Yukina and the supreme elder.
One of the guards then yelled in fury.
"HUMAN, HOW DARE YOU TRESPASS INTO OUR REALM? PREPARE FOR DEATH."
"TAP."
However, with a gentle tap of his walking cane, the Supreme Elder paralyzed both guards instantly.
Yukina's eyes widened in shock as she watched the supreme elder effortlessly paralyze the guards
"Incredible! With just one tap of his cane, he paralyzed those two guards. Did he use genjutsu or ninjutsu?" she thought to herself, a slight smile curling on her lips. "I have to learn this jutsu from this old geezer."
The Supreme Elder sighed in annoyance and scolded the two guards, saying, "You two should learn to calm down and think before acting. I'm the one who brought this human child here."
"You two should not worry about being punished; I will take full responsibility."
After saying these words, the supreme elder tapped his cane once more, releasing the two guards who had been staring at him in fear.
One of the guards stepped forward and said, "Supreme Elder, with all due respect, humans are strictly forbidden from entering our realm. His Majesty will be furious."
"You kids need not worry," the Supreme Elder said with a chuckle. "Now step aside—I wish to meet His Majesty."
The guards hesitated for a moment but ultimately complied, stepping aside to let the Supreme Elder, Yukina, Fang, Okamichi, and the dark green-furred Dire Wolf pass into the palace
