Sacred Gear Shadow Light

Oracis words sent a shiver down Naruto's spine. He looked down at Grayfia, her silver eyes gazing up at him with unwavering devotion, her hand still tightly clasped within his own.

As if it's not done, Oracis continued.

Adjusting Grayfia Uzumaki's body to meet the parameters set

Adjustments complete.

A soft, radiant glow enveloped Grayfia, tendrils of golden light tracing delicate patterns across her skin, seeping into every fiber of her being. Naruto felt the shift in her presence—no longer just the Strongest Queen of the Underworld, but something… more. Something eternal.

The warmth of the divine bond between them solidified, and with it came an understanding.

Grayfia Uzumaki has gained: Death Immunity.

Naruto's breath hitched, his cerulean eyes widening as the full implications of the announcement sank in. He could feel it through their connection, the subtle yet profound transformation within her. Her very essence now resonated with his, no longer a being bound to the fleeting grasp of time, but an eternal flame burning beside him.

Grayfia blinked, the weight of Oracis's declaration settling into her mind. The realization dawned slowly, like the gentle rise of the sun, and she lifted her free hand to her chest, feeling the quiet hum of newfound permanence within her soul.

Naruto swallowed hard, his fingers gently brushing against her cheek. "My love, you're—"

"I know," she whispered, her voice breathless, filled with awe. Her lips parted, and for the first time after their union, tears of joy—of relief—streamed down her porcelain cheeks. "I am yours… forever."

He smiled softly, pressing his forehead to hers. "Indeed."

Red, who had been observing in stunned silence, finally found his voice, his eyes narrowing in disbelief. "Hold on just a damn minute." His tail flicked irritably, sending ripples through the void. "Did you just say death immunity? As in, she can't die anymore?"

Oracis's synthetic voice chimed in once more, as if sensing the dragon's disbelief.

Affirmative. Grayfia Uzumaki is now an eternal being. Standard aging processes have been suspended. Any attempt to terminate her existence will result in automatic reconstitution via the Divine Covenant parameters.

Red stared at the glowing pair before him, his mouth working but no words coming out. Finally, he scoffed, shaking his massive head. "You two just don't do things by halves, do you?"

Naruto chuckled, running a hand through his golden hair. "We don't know how."

Grayfia, still holding his hand, looked up at him with an expression of wonder. "Naruto, this… this means…"

"That we'll always have each other," he finished softly, his thumb caressing her knuckles. "No more losing anyone. No more goodbyes."

She let out a shaky breath, a radiant smile breaking across her face. "No more goodbyes," she echoed, her voice filled with conviction.

He nodded, a quiet joy settling in his chest, he fulfilled his promise. 'I did it, Hinata. I finally found someone… and I married her, just as you asked.'

The thought was bittersweet, lingering at the edges of his mind like the warmth of a setting sun. It wasn't sorrow, nor regret—only remembrance. A love that had shaped him, a love that had given him the strength to move forward, even when he thought he never could.

His gaze flickered to Grayfia, who was watching him with quiet concern, her silver eyes searching his face. For a moment, his expression faltered, a shadow passing through his features, but a genuine smile followed, curving his lips, and when he spoke, his voice was soft and certain.

"Grayfia Uzumaki," he whispered, testing the name on his tongue, as if shaping it into something more than just words. It felt right. It felt like home.

She smiled, tilting her head slightly. "I think I like how that sounds."

Naruto grinned, pulling her into a gentle embrace. "I think I do too."

Red rolled his eyes, muttering under his breath. "Yeah, yeah. Real sweet. But let's not forget there's still the whole 'universe endangering thing to deal with."

Naruto sighed, reluctantly releasing Grayfia from his embrace. "Yeah, I suppose saving existence comes first."

Grayfia smirked, her voice tinged with newfound confidence. "Together, then?"

Naruto squeezed her hand, his eyes burning with determination. "Together."

And Cut!

That's it for this chapter folks.

AN: Did you expect that? God thought Marriage was better than Date and took things into his own hands lol. I feel it's very fitting as the story started with Naruto leaving Shinobi World after Hinata's death and after a very long journey, he was finally married to someone, officially, and for eternity. I am not using the word eternity lightly here.

If not for God's intervention, I'm sure he would have dragged it for at least 1 more year or till Kurama comes back. Guess God did well, huh. So there you have it, folks. The Sacred Union solemnized by God himself with a blessing and life span of an eternity. Did you think Grayfia would have been made truly immortal? I'll admit it came out of nowhere ;).

Also, I apologise if Gods dialogues are a mish mash of everything. I made sure to use clear English in scenes where I feel there is real emotion and mix of old English and new one for normal dialogues. The next few chapters are going to cover the reactions of this [not the marriage, but everything happened in Dimensional Gap so far. That will be a secret between us for now ;)]
