Last Chapter

Fitoria stood up and turned to look back at Naruto, "Alright then, I still remember the right thing to do. If the heroes continue to fight each other instead of the Wave of Catastrophe, then for the sake of the world, I will kill the Four Cardinal Heroes."

Naruto's eyes narrowed as he looked up at Fitoria, he could tell she was strong. She would trump the other three with ease and give his party a run for their money. However, when it came to Naruto vs. Fitoria, she was no match for him. She is maybe on par with Shikaku, but even then, it's a stretch, "I'm pretty sure that's a threat."

Fitoria nodded her head, "A promise."

Naruto sighed as he stood up and closed his eyes. When he opened them, his eyes were blood red with a black slit for his pupil. Naruto said with a growl-like tone, "If you're involving me and threatening me, you know it won't end well. I won't be stripped away from the ones I care about. I am, however, willing to try, but if they say no, it's no. But that means you kill them… you even try to make a move against me. It will be your last. For that, I promise you, isn't just a threat. It's a promise."

This Chapter *Next Day*

Naruto along with everyone else was prepping for breakfast gathering what they needed. Naruto thought back to what Fitoria told him the other day. While Yoruichi and Roxanne were cooking, Raphtalia looked over to Naruto to see him in deep thought, "Naruto-sama… is something wrong?"

Naruto looked at her as he closed his eyes and shook his head, "No, everything is fine. Just deep in thought." "Then again… she could be just lying; she knows she can't beat me in a one-on-one fight."

Before Naruto knew it, everyone sat down at a table to eat. Naruto simply created the chairs and table out of his Mokuton. Raphtalia smiled looking at the other Filolials around them, "They all seem to have taken quite a liking to you "

Melty nodded her head smiling brightly, "Yeah right!" Rifana and Filo were next to one another munching away at some bread rolls.

Just then Naruto looked over along with everyone else to see Fitoria standing next to Melty. Fitoria raised her arm up and stuck her hand out at Melty. Fitoria said Liberation: Wind Prison. Her hand began to glow with a light blue hue. Before everyone knew it, the table, food, and chairs went flying. Everyone stood up as they saw Fitoria trap Melty in what seemed like a wind prison.

Naruto narrowed his eyes, "Is she really attacking us now? She knows she can't beat me, so why?"

Melty who was confused about what was going on asked, "W-What is going on?" She stuck her hand out to touch the prison and then flinched in pain. She reeled her finger back have been cut by the sharp wind blades.

Rifana who was shocked stood behind Naruto and Filo looked at Fitoria upset, "What are you doing to Mel-chan?!"

Fitoria didn't even turn her gaze away from Naruto and the others. Fitoria said, "Mel-tan I want you to be my hostage." Fitoria knew better than to turn her away from Naruto. Fitoria jumped back and stood on the ruins of an old building. Raphtalia was ready to fight with her hand on her sword like Roxanne. Yoruichi had her hands up with electricity jumping between his fingers.

Naruto looked at Fitoria unamused, "Usually when taking someone hostage you don't ask to do so. You just do it… besides that… what's the big deal? You going to kill me like you promised you would?"
