Last Chapter

Balmus watched as the blue orb that came out from his chest shot back into his body. Naruto looked down to see his blood forming a door that had demonic eyes and teeth within the doors. The doors eerily creaked open as pitch blackness shot out pitchfork-shaped weapons. The pitchforks were malleable and looked around until their tips pointed at Balmus. Just then five more pitchforks shot out and aimed directly at Balmus. Balmus tried to defend himself with a barrier, but the first pitchfork smashed it. It went straight for him until Balmus blocked it with his spear, however, another came crashing straight through the middle of the spear. This split the spear down the middle as the pitchfork stabbed into Balmus causing him to cough up blood. Once he was captured, the rest of the pitchforks sought out the rest of his body and skewered him in his body.

Before everyone knew it the pitchforks quickly receded into the gates of hell. Balmus disappeared into the pitch-black depths, to never be seen again.

Naruto looked onwards and saw the queen, Naruto looked back at his party to see them in utter shock. Naruto looked down at himself to find he was out of his Six Paths Sage Mode. However, he had large gashes and slashes in his own body. Naruto saw on his display say, "New Series Unlocked… Twilight Series" Before Naruto knew it, his entire world lit up as cursed dark negative electricity and white hoy electricity shocked his entire body. Naruto let out a painful scream as he fell to the ground. Naruto saw the Queen jump off her horse and grabbed him midair.

Once the two landed on the ground Naruto's eyes were barely open as he saw the concerned look on Queen Mirella's face. Naruto smiled up at the Queen and said, "I-I've never thought I'd fall into the arms of the beautiful Queen." Then his world turned black.

Day Later

Naruto slowly opened his eyes to find himself on a bed, however, he noticed something was off. He slowly sat up and found himself wrapped in bandages. He looked at the foot of the bed to find Rifana and Filo laying on the bed. While Roxanne, Melty, Yoruichi, and Raphtalia sat on chairs with their heads on the bed. They seemed to have been sleeping there since he was put there, Naruto looked at his surroundings to find himself protected by Castle walls. However, he was in a makeshift tent of some sort.

Naruto continued to look around until he felt a shift in the bed. Naruto looked down at a tuff of purple hair on his bed. Naruto's face slowly heated up as an arm reached up and onto him. Before he knew it he was pulled back down to be met with the queen's face. Naruto looked onward in shock, "Wait… how the hell did I end up here? Wait… I shouldn't be asking that question. The question should be asking why she is here in my… no, never mind, dumb question. I know Pervy-Sage wouldn't be questioning this at all." Naruto sighed, he raised one hand and poked Mirellia's nose.

Mirellia, in her sleep, scrunched up her nose and moved her hand to itch it. Naruto chuckled, seeing the queen most of the time serious and someone who always kept her mature and royal status quo all the time. To see her had reminded him a lot like Raphtalia as she sleeps. Naruto moved his face closer to the queen's as he pressed his forehead to hers.

As if on que the queen opened her eyes to find a pair of sky-blue eyes staring back at her. Mirellia was surprised to see him already up from all the wounds he had on his body. The queen smiled, "Well it's certainly good to see you up and awake." Mirellia moved in closer as she snuggled her head right into his chest. She also placed a hand on his chest as well, "Seeing you injured like that scared the hell outta me and everyone else here."
