Naruto and his best friend and rival Sasuke have failed the elemental nations,everyone is dead except them and the tailed beasts, they started creating races, animals, new source of power, magic, which is essentially powered by emotions, they were made into history, which made into stories, which made into legends, which made into myths. They took any chakra consuming and scrolls mentioning and hid them in places very hard to find.
I’m open to ideas, at which point should I start, from the pony tribes or all the way to the nightmare moon getting banished, or even when twilight reads the book about the elements of harmony.
Also planning on making this weekly as long as I can
lol it says natural instead of naruto in the summary
8634504 I know, T_T it’s god dam annoying

Congratulations on publishing your first story!! That is always the hardest part for folks: summoning up the courage to share something they've written.
There is a general rule of thumb that I recommend for anyone writing a crossover: assume your audience hasn't seen the non-MLP work. On a My Little Pony fansite, most—if not all—MLP canon can be assumed to be known by the reader. For example, you don't have to explain certain things like alicorns or changelings because the majority of your readers will already know these things. As someone who has never seen Naruto, I was wholly and thoroughly confused by everything referencing "tailed beasts".
Of course, this can be wholly ignored if you are intending only for, in this case, Naruto fans to enjoy what you've written. If so, then I recommend including in the description that you are relying on the lore of Naruto and that readers are recommended to be familiar with that franchise before reading your story.
It's a very interesting concept to frame a crossover as an origin for the My Little Pony universe we know and love, but this felt more like reading quickly scrawled notes on the back of a napkin than the prologue of a story. The paragraphs are long, long, long run-on sentences and rush through what's going on instead of immersing readers into the setting.
You have some fun ideas, and I would love to see the time taken to flesh them out. Here are some recommendations I would give—feel free to ignore it all at your leisure!
1. Let us see Naruto and Sasuke. As is, this prologue has us fairly removed from them as characters. They're instead more like those cute little puppets on popsicle sticks that we're watching from the back of the crowd. Try starting off with them looking at the world, both tired and worn from their hard-earned victory and reeling from the consequences. How do they come to the conclusion that this is an opportunity to create a new world? Why do they choose the races of MLP, besides "these are the races in the show"? The draconequus being related to "Naruto's pranking personality and humor" is a great example of giving the races meaning in your universe.
2. Your paragraphs are, for the most part, just really long sentences. Try reading them aloud. Break them into multiple sentences by finding the natural pauses, cadence, flow, etc. Aim to contain individual thoughts to separate sentences. Think of how you speak, of how you'd read it to another person. Allow yourself room to breath. Experiment with different sentence structures so things don't sound repetitive. For example:
vs.
3. Beware too much information too quickly. Readers get exhausted by exposition and information overload. Is it necessary to go into detail of where each individual "tailed beast" is located? Will this be relevant to the later story? If so, then I recommend weaving these locations into the story as you go along rather than upfront and all at once. If you're going to have an adventure of, say, Twilight Sparkle going to find each tailed beast, then consider having her learn the location naturally as she researches each one.
I think with some polish and restructuring, this could be a very interesting tale for Naruto fans to enjoy. Good luck!!

Thx
I feel like you should make sure to work on the story summary.
There's work to be done with it, that can make it so more people will want to read the story. There's one big run on sentence in the summary and the grammar could use some work too.
Apply the same thing that Crystal Wishes said to your summary as well because the summary is typically indicative fo what one will find in the story itself.

Kind of in between both, there will be scenes where they talk to the adience but mostly it will be focused on them
