Ino stepped out of the carriage first, her stunning white wedding dress shimmering in the soft glow of the late afternoon sun. Her blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders, and the smile on her face was a wicked mixture of satisfaction and amusement. She turned back to Naruto, who sat frozen in his seat, his face flushed red with embarrassment. He had never felt so out of place, so completely overwhelmed.

"Come on, Naruto," Ino said, her voice smooth and commanding as she held out her hand to him. "It's time."

Naruto hesitated for a moment, his heart pounding in his chest, before reluctantly taking her hand. As soon as their fingers intertwined, she gave his hand a firm, almost possessive squeeze, her icy blue eyes locking onto his as if to remind him of the contract he had signed, of the future that now awaited him.

She led him up the steps and through the grand double doors, her grip on his hand never loosening. The interior of the building was eerily quiet, save for the soft echo of their footsteps against the polished stone floor. The silence only heightened Naruto's anxiety, his mind racing with thoughts of the impending ceremony.

When they reached the small, dimly lit chapel inside, they were greeted by the officiant—a solemn-looking man in a crisp black suit who stood at the altar, holding a small book in his hands. His expression was unreadable as he glanced between Ino and Naruto, but there was a flicker of something in his eyes when he noticed the cold intensity in Ino's gaze.

The room was empty, just as Ino had promised. No guests, no friends, no family—just the two of them and the officiant. It was a secret ceremony, one that Ino had meticulously planned. She didn't want anyone to know. **This marriage was for her**—not for show, not for spectacle. This was about control, power, and binding Naruto to her completely.

As they approached the altar, the officiant raised his hand to stop them. "Please, wait just a moment," he said, his voice calm and measured.

Ino came to a halt, turning her head slightly to glance at Naruto, who was standing stiffly beside her. Her eyes gleamed with amusement at the sight of his obvious discomfort, his face flushed red with nervousness. She leaned in close, her lips brushing against his ear as she whispered, "You'll do exactly as I tell you, won't you, Naruto?"

Naruto swallowed hard, his heart pounding in his chest as he nodded. "Y-Yes, Ino-sama," he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.

Ino's smile widened, her eyes glinting with satisfaction. "Good boy," she purred, before reaching into the folds of her gown and pulling out something that made Naruto's blood run cold—a sleek, black pistol. She held it in her hand, letting it gleam in the dim light of the chapel, her fingers brushing lightly over the trigger as she turned it over in her hands.

Naruto's breath caught in his throat, his eyes widening in shock as she tilted the gun toward him, the barrel resting casually against his side. "You'll say yes when the time comes, won't you?" she asked, her voice soft but dangerously sharp. "You'll agree to marry me, or..."

She didn't need to finish the sentence. The cold steel of the gun pressing against his ribs was enough to make Naruto's decision clear. His heart pounded in his chest, his palms sweaty as he nodded quickly. "Y-Yes, Ino-sama," he repeated, his voice trembling.

Ino smirked, clearly pleased with his compliance. She leaned in closer, her lips brushing against his in a quick, forceful kiss. "Good," she whispered, her breath warm against his skin. "You're such an obedient boy, Naruto. I think tonight, I'll reward you."

Naruto's face flushed a deep shade of red, his mind spinning with confusion and embarrassment. **What does she mean by 'reward'?** But he didn't dare ask. He could feel the weight of the pistol against his side, the cold metal a constant reminder of the situation he was trapped in.

The officiant, noticing the exchange between them but saying nothing, cleared his throat and opened the small book in his hands. "Shall we begin?" he asked, his voice calm and professional.

Ino nodded, her fingers still lightly resting on the gun as she turned to face the officiant, her expression shifting to one of cold determination. "Yes," she said smoothly. "Let's get this over with."

The officiant began reading the ceremonial vows, his voice steady and emotionless as he recited the age-old words. Naruto stood beside Ino, his body tense, his mind racing with every passing moment. The weight of the moment was overwhelming, and he could feel his heart pounding in his chest, the sound echoing in his ears.

When the officiant finally turned to Ino, he spoke the words that would seal their fate. "Ino Yamanaka, do you take Naruto Uzumaki to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?"

Ino's eyes sparkled with a dangerous glint as she glanced at Naruto, her smile widening. "I do," she said confidently, her voice dripping with satisfaction.

The officiant nodded, turning his gaze toward Naruto. "Naruto Uzumaki," he began, "do you take Ino Yamanaka to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?"

Naruto's throat went dry. His heart was pounding so loudly in his chest that he thought everyone in the room could hear it. His mouth opened, but the words wouldn't come out. He glanced at Ino, who was staring at him expectantly, her fingers still lightly resting on the pistol at her side. Her eyes gleamed with amusement, clearly enjoying the tension in the air.
