Hello everyone, I hope you like this chapter and it's now out, the alternate story involving Nanatsu no Taizai and Naruto, due to it taking place 2,000 years later I chose Toaru Majutsu no Index as the best place for the story due to it having having involved as well as science, not to mention Naruto will descended from Meliodas and Elizabeth. If you've never seen the show Toaru Majutsu no Index than it would be a good read or show to watch as I'm currently binge watching its second season and it's friggin great, better than any other anyone in its genre if I'm correct. It's also called The Rise of the Supreme King, hope you guys enjoy it.

Chapter 17

ONE DAY LATER, WITHIN ELIZABETH'S ROOM

(Your rage, led to your downfall.)

(For your sin of betrayal, YOU DIE!)

(...Don't worry, I'll be back with food, little si—zzzzzzzz.)

"Wha...what happ..." As those words were mumbled, slowly his eyes open to find himself staring at the ceiling.

"Oh...this sight—" He stops cold as it happened, memories of yesterday flooded his mind, causing him too immediately sit up as he touched his head, recalling what he had done the moment he lost himself, yet could not recall of the meeting he had just had with Death.

"What...what did I...what have I..." As he said it, every second he grew more and more horrified before becoming sick to his stomach as he recalled what he did to Elizabeth. It was then that he was startled by the door opening, causing him to turn fast to find Elizabeth at the door. Seeing him somewhat bandaged on his body, she couldn't help but smile but as she took a step forward, Naruto suddenly shouted.

"DON'T COME NEAR ME!" When he shouted that, the Princess stopped in her tracks to see the horrified expression on his face.

"What happened...to me...?" As he asked that, the expression he showed was that if fear as he needed to know for sure that what he saw wasn't true and that it was all a dream.

MINUTES LATER AFTER THE EXPLANATION

"So...that's what happened..." Spoke the depressed Naruto who was absorbing the information, looking at Elizabeth who stood at the door.

"Sir Meliodas and the others are waiting for you to wake up before moving out..." Hearing that, the red-head asked his next question.

"What about the others? Howzer, Gulia, Jericho, Dawn Roar, and the two that attacked, Alexander and Hercules?" When she heard that, Elizabeth answered.

"Well, Howzer wanted to stay but...he wanted to go find Griamore after... The other Holy knights returned back to the kingdom with..." Seeing the expression on her face as she tried to finish, told Naruto enough as she knew Veronica died as well as from what he heard the most likely killed a few Holy Knights as well.

"The other two also left as well." Hearing that, he was surprised since that his teacher and the others just left before looking down. With that, she explained to him the details of...what had happened.

FATE/APOCRYPHA OST-SAVIOR

"I see...but...none of this changes anything..." He stops there which surprises Elizabeth who watched as his gaze went to his shaking right hand that was opened.

"I...became a monster. Overcome with such rage and sadness, that I attacked everyone in sight...I even tried to—..." He stops as he recalled what he tried to do to Elizabeth, causing his left hand to grab his face as tears began to build up, unable to let go or forget that he tried to kill Elizabeth, how he caused her so much pain.

"I know it wasn't your fault but that darkness that was—" She tried to say, yet was cut off by Naruto.

"How can you say that, after what I did? Everything I did..." As he spoke those words, he recalls completely having held Elizabeth by her throat while she cried.

"Naruto, it's ok—" She was cut off by the red-head who's finally had it.

"IT'S NOT OK ELIZABETH, WHAT I DID WILL NEVER BE OK! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT AT ALL?! I TRIED TO KILL YOU! I ALMOST KILLED MELIODAS! I...I..." He stops as tears fell, causing him to grab his face with both hands, this scene caused the Princess to show wide eyes of sadness at seeing her closest friend, finally breaking down.

"Every time...what the hell is wrong with me. I wanted to protect you so much, I...I became the thing that endangered you. I became a monster. I...don't know what I am or who I am anymore... I thought I was Naruto, yet these people...who am I exactly?! I CAN'T EVEN TELL ANYMORE! I CAN'T STOP HAVING THESE VISIONS OF MEMORIES I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN! YET EVERY TIME I SEE THEM, I FEEL THIS UNSHAKABLE EMOTION! BUT THIS TIME A SINGLE MEMORY CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MYSELF!" As he screamed that, Elizabeth could only stare at him as she didn't know what to do as he continued.

"I...I JUST WANT TO PROTECT YOU WITHOUT LOSING ANY FIGHT OR FALLING UNCONSCIOUS OR GOING BERSERK! ALL I...! All I..." As he spoke, he moves his hands away to show anger as he tried holding back the tears.

"All I ever wanted, was to keep you safe." As he spoke, the tears once again continued running down his cheeks that dripped on the blankets.

(Leave, you are no longer able to carry even the title of a Holy Knight's Apprentice, and therefore you are no longer worthy of being my son.)

"I just...all I ever truly wanted, wasn't to be a Great Holy Knight or becoming strong... All I want is to be of use to you. To be an invincible shield and sword that will forever keep you safe, one that will never break nor dull and always protect you." When he said those words, the Princess showed shock as she recalled the times he wanted to be a Great Holy Knight.

"Ever since I was a child, the moment we met you gave me something I needed, something I will forever cherish from the bottom of my soul until the day I die. I was once a sad, lonely, and a depressed child, never acknowledged by adults nor kids my own age. It was like living with a gaping hole in my chest every hour, every minute, and every second of the day. Like I was sinking in a sea of darkness without any escape...I had no purpose...that was, until I met you." As he spoke, despite he was feeling he showed a weak smile filled with happiness.

"The moment I met you, was the happiest moment in my entire life. I may have smiled with my adopted-father, I may have pulled pranks as a child to be acknowledged by others, yet none of it helped...as the days went by this feeling grew worse and worse and in the end I just stopped both...they didn't give me the feeling I wanted anymore...but you, you gave me something much more. You came to me, bringing a light I so desperately needed, a light that will forever guide me, a light that will forever give me courage. What you gave me, were friends, bonds, happiness, dreams, and hope. And with it, something I truly lacked and never actually understood, and that was my humanity. That is why, my one wish...the wish I strive to complete every single day, is for your enteral happiness. If it means you will have that, then I will gladly sacrifice my life if it means your survival, because I am Eternally grateful to you, you who gave me purpose. If I can't make my one wish come true with my own hands, then how can I even be called a Great Holy Knight, let alone be a Holy Knight?" As soon as he finished, he turns for his eyes to widen at seeing Elizabeth having tears falling from her face.

"Eliza—" He stops as she quickly moved towards him, suddenly wrapping her arms around his head, which the red-head found his face buried into her chest as she held him there, close to her heart while her arms were wrapped around him.

OST END

"I...never knew..." Spoke the tearful young woman which caused Naruto to look away.

"I'm sorry if what I said upsets you...for not telling you the truth of my reason why I fight...why I'm so willing to do anything if it means your safety." As he said those words, he got a surprising answer.

"It's ok...I'm...happy. After all, I finally know how you feel about me." The moment he heard that, Naruto's eyes widen and looks up to meet her grateful expression.

"After all, my one wish since we were kids was for you to stay by my side forever." Her words caused his eyes to widen as his arms wrap around her waist, pulling her on the bed where he was now on top of her, staring at the blushing princess who was wide-eyed and embarrassed yet her gaze calms at seeing the passive expression. Slowly she moved a hand to touch the side of his face before Naruto moves his left hand to grasp hers.

"Elizabeth..." After saying that, she could only smile which caused him to start leaning downwards where the Princess moved upwards as she closed her eyes with her lips moving. As this happened, for Naruto time seemed to slow down. As their lips grew closer and closer, he remembered the words he spoke to Meliodas.

(But my love for her, I know it can never happen...)

As he thought those words, he instead moved his head to lay on Elizabeth's chest, causing her eyes to open with surprise and looks down to see he was laying their with a sad and solemn expression.

(Not only have I made her worry for me nonstop, but I still fail in protecting her. If it weren't for you, she would have been killed twice. That is why, I am truly unworthy of such a Lady as Princess Elizabeth.)

"I'm sorry...would you be ok, if we just stayed like this for...a little bit." As he asked her that, his answer was given as she wraps her arms around him as he may there. While this was happening, outside stood the wide-eyed Meliodas who saw everything, which included the two about to kiss until Naruto stopped it. Slowly his hand turns to a shaking fist while he just stood there sadly, until his eyes widen when he heard the voice.

"It's seems, by some miracle they were allowed to be together and not the other way around for you two." The moment Meliodas heard that he directs his gaze of irritation at the woman who healed Naruto walking up the steps before everything turned gray, this surprised Meliodas who saw that everything seemed to be frozen in time.

"So it wasn't just some rumor among the Demon Clan...but I'm confused, aren't you here to kill me?" When he asked that, a laugh was heard and watched as she removed her hood to reveal long blonde hair with two wings formed from her hair atop her head.

"I would never do something that Elizabeth would hate, besides I hold no hatred towards you. After all, you two were merely in love...tho, I cannot speak for the rest of the Goddess Clan as they would have rather preferred her being with Mael." Hearing that, Meliodas just looks away and out the window which the woman smiles.

"I must say, it's funny as I never knew the Demon King's first child, the one known as the most heartless of Demon race could show such jealousy." Her words caused him to show annoyance which she laughed as he turns towards her.

"How are you here, didn't you lose your body to create the seal just like the others?" When he asked her that, she merely gave a small laugh.

"Technically yes, but a human of the past was able to create me a body be it this vessel is unable to use my actual full power. But nonetheless, even if I'm nowhere near my full power, I am still powerful in the end." Hearing that, Meliodas just looks away as he spoke.

"You should know, Elizabeth used to talk about you a lot, Valkyrie...she thought of you as an older sister." The moment she heard that, a surprised expression appeared on her face before showing a gentle smile.

"I see, as the teacher of the Four Archangels and of Elizabeth, I must admit, I too had my doubts when she first told me about you...yet seeing you in front of me right now." As she said it, she turns to look at the Sin of Wrath with a gentle smile.

"...it seems, she taught me something. Anyone can change, even you..." After saying that, as she proceeded to turn away but stops to speak one more time.

"But something doesn't make sense, you two were cursed, you with Immortality and Elizabeth with Perpetual Reincarnation." When Meliodas heard that, he showed confusion.

"Yeah, why are you bringing that up?" When he asked her that, what he heard caused his eyes too widen all the way.

"These curses work together so that you would meet and end up falling in love with each other every reincarnation, as your punishments for what you two have done, yet... Naruto came back, reincarnation sure but it wasn't, he was somehow revived after 3,000 years?" Her words caused his eyes too narrow with great annoyance.

"Are you saying that the Demon King and Supreme Deity are getting involved, finally having enough with us being together?" When she heard that, she placed s left hand on her chin.

"That could be it but...I actually don't think they had anything to do with this, more so...this feeling, I only had this once...and that was 3,000 years ago." As she spoke, she turned to show a serious expression.

"What I mean is, their could be another force at works here...and it might be the same 3,000 years ago." Her words caused the Demon Prince's eye's too widen all the way.

"It's just a hunch so it's not actually accurate but be prepared. If I'm right, than this force could very well be far greater than both my older sister and your father." With those words, she turns away just as color returns and pulls the hood back over her head as she turns away.

"But remember, when Naruto regains his memories and recalls what 'you' did...the outcome may in fact be disastrous." With that said, she begins to walk down the steps with Meliodas just staring at her back.

"So she was the one, who prevented those two from intervening in the Holy War a lot. Not to mention, being the younger sister of the Supreme Goddess..." Meliodas thought to himself, knowing full well of the stories involving her, being nicknamed the Supreme Archangel of Victory. After that he just turned back to the door.

"Even if, I can't be with her anymore...I will never stop until I fulfill our promise." Meliodas thought to himself, having a look of determination on his face just as he blinks in surprise to hear the door opening and turns to see a fully dressed Naruto walking out with Elizabeth, both surprised at seeing Meliodas which almost immediately Naruto looks away, recalling what he did.

"Meliodas...I'm—" He was cut off by the Sin of Wrath stepping forward, flicking the red-head in the forehead which very much surprised him just as he touched the red mark while Elizabeth smiles at seeing this.

"Don't sweat it, your not the first who lost control over himself so don't let it get to you." As he said it, he turns his back to the one in disbelief.

"But I...I almost killed you—" He was cut off by Meliodas speaking as if he didn't even hear him in the first place.

"With you up, we'll be moving out for our next destination now. Theirs been rumors spreading of some armored giant and from what's been said, that's most likely Gowther. Oh yeah, Howzer said that next time you guys meet he would like to talk to you." Hearing those words, Naruto looks down while Elizabeth looked at Naruto with worry.

"Meliodas will you listen, I...I'm..." As he said it, he didn't know what to say as he knew "sorry" wasn't good enough for what he did, that was until he heard it.

"It's fine...after all, I deserved where bit of it." The moment they heard that their eyes widen all the way as they watched Meliodas start walking down the steps and as he did so, he had a solemn expression in his face. Recalling the memory of where he laid had Zeldris at his side, helping him stand as the Demon's retreated yet looking back he saw a bloodied and hurt man walking away with a corpse in his arms with long golden hair, as he stared he could see the retreating demonic looking horn going back into his head.
