Chapter 1: Field Trips, Furies, and Bad Luck

Summary: Percy wasn't much to make friends in school other than Grover, but there was one other he befriended. Sasuke Uchiha, cold and sarcastic beyond measure yet very honorable and understanding. But when Percy discovers his heritage, how exactly is Sasuke tied into everything? And what is he hiding from his past?

Author's Notes: Right, I have writer's block on my other stories so I decided to pull this out of nowhere. I've been browsing the Naruto/Percy Jackson crossovers and I noticed one key detail… very rarely are there any stories in that category NOT involving Naruto himself. There were a few scattered ones here and there; some with Leaf Nins, some with other characters (such as one where Madara shows up and starts murdering Olympian Gods in a rather Kratos-like fashion!) but most if not all of them seemed to have Naruto as the main character. That's not a bad thing, but it leaves little room for any other types of storyline with that mantra. (Note that Naruto will be in this story, but as a bit more of a secondary character who's key to the plot) So I've decided to try my hand at one of these, only I'm going with a popular but lesser used character: Sasuke Uchiha. I figure he would be a pretty obvious choice for a demigod son of a specific god. (Let me know if you can guess!) Plus he's one of my favorite characters to play as in Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution (second only to Masked Man, Madara, and Nagato/Pain) and I believe that this will be an interesting story to go with. Plus, Sasuke has at least redeemed himself in my eyes, so I figured I'd give it a shot and try to write something with Sasuke in it. That, and his Susanoo looks even more awesome than before.

Percy couldn't help but growl irritably. While he may not have minded field trips that much if Mr. Brunner happened to be running things, he was getting a little annoyed with Nancy constantly tossing bits of sandwich at him and Grover.

He heard a chuckle from in front of him. Percy stopped glaring at Nancy and proceeded to target his gaze onto his other friend. He never really knew how he became friends with the guy known as the so-called "ninja" of Yancy Academy. It sort of just happened.

"You know, you really should get better reflexes there Perce," the onyx-haired teenager remarked, his black eyes peeking over the cover of one of those strange books he always had in his hand. "Imagine those bits of bread, peanut butter and ketchup were bullets or a throwing knife. Wouldn't want to end up dead would you?"

Percy rolled his eyes at his friend. "Yeah? Well I don't have the reflexes of Spider-Man alright?" he growled.

Sasuke closed the book with a smirk as he looked at his "friend" of sorts. (Percy got a quick glimpse of the cover and wasn't surprised to see the title written in kanji. For odd reasons, that specific book was always in his hand whenever he wasn't reading about mythology or anatomy of the human body.)

"Well sorry that I actually train instead of you," he remarked in his usual infuriatingly cocky way.

Percy snorted. He never truly understood why some people needed to be arrogant, but Sasuke didn't really come off as arrogant. To Percy, arrogance meant you believed you had power when in reality you had nothing, while confidence was believing you have power and actually having the strength to back it up. Sasuke wasn't arrogant. He was confident.

And Sasuke's confidence was well-earned. He was top of the class in just about everything, (even in English despite having dyslexia like Percy he managed, usually by reading the school textbooks in the versions written in kanji. It didn't help Percy's confidence when he learned that English was actually a second language to Sasuke) and he was extremely fit for a twelve-year-old. He also had a habit of performing a daily workout every morning after waking up and every evening before going to bed. Hell, Sasuke was even a genius with music!

Percy was shook out of his thoughts when Nancy Bobofit tossed another piece of sandwich at Grover. Percy growled angrily and clenched his fists. "I'm gonna kill her," he remarked.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "You're already on probation Jackson," he remarked. "I'm pretty sure the principal would only like one more incident like this to happen so he could have the excuse to expel you. But by all means, go ahead. You'd only be throwing away any future you'd ever have."

"Eh? How?" Percy asked, a little panicked.

Sasuke's smirk returned. "Well, for starters you'd get expelled. And you'd probably go to jail if you do end up killing the red-haired nuisance. But hey. I'm not stopping you," Sasuke replied.

Grover (despite being generally terrified of most things as well as being a devout vegetarian and pacifist) couldn't help but snicker at Sasuke's remark. Percy, deciding to "thank" Sasuke for his opinion, proceeded to honor him with the one-fingered salute. Sasuke merely laughed and went back to his book.

Percy groaned and sat back down. He still didn't know how he became friends with the sarcastic boy with the hair in the shape of a duck's ass anyways.

"So, who can tell me the meaning of the markings on this grave marker?" Mr. Brunner asked the class.

Nobody responded. The girls in the class had mainly ignored the handicapped teacher's question in favor of either gossiping quietly or taking random selfies with the various statues around the museum, and the guys with the exceptions of Percy, Sasuke, and Grover were all acting like Neanderthals and shoving each other into everybody else and acting like morons directly to the letter.

Mr. Brunner groaned as he slapped his hand against his forehead. It was stuff like this that really made him question his career choice, no matter how much he loved it.

On the plus side though, at least he had Percy and Sasuke who were actually interested in most of the stuff he taught. Percy because he was passionate about all things mythology, and Sasuke because it was a class meant that he gave it his all. Sure, while he did love it, Percy somehow managed to get D's on most of his assignments (most of which happened to be reading assignments, so Mr. Brunner did cut him a little bit of slack due to the dyslexia) Sasuke on the other hand, was an enigma to the teacher.

Something about the way he moved, it showed that Sasuke was always on his guard. It wasn't that the boy was paranoid per say, but rather he always seemed ready for a fight. His grades were perfect, almost all of his classes had 100% averages and he was top of the class in everything. He was also physically fit, unlike most Yancy students, and often worked out repeatedly throughout the day.

But the way he carried himself, it wasn't like that of a paranoid teenager, oh no. Sasuke carried himself like a battle-hardened warrior, like a soldier of war who had been retired yet still yearned for battle.

And there was something about his eyes… Mr. Brunner could have sworn he had seen Sasuke's onyx eyes turn red on occasion, and Sasuke looked at him almost like he knew what was really under the wheelchair.

Mr. Brunner was thrust out of his thoughts when he heard Sasuke's answer to the question.

"That would be the Titan Lord Kronos devouring his godly children, over some moronic belief that one of his sons would kill him and take his place on the throne," Sasuke said.

Mr. Brunner eyed Sasuke for a moment before nodding. "Correct, Mr. Uchiha," he remarked. "And can you tell me your thoughts on why Kronos devoured his children, if it was not out of fear?"

"Well, it was fear, but a false one. This belief or fear came from a supposed "prophecy" given by his mother Gaea. She was still angry over him not freeing the Cyclopes and the Hundred-Handed Ones from Tartarus like he had promised, so she told him this to manipulate him."

Mr. Brunner raised an eyebrow. "Explain please."

"If she hadn't told him this "prophecy" then he wouldn't have been consumed with fear of his own children. The "prophecy" caused the fear, which caused Kronos to devour his children, and so on until the supposed "prophecy" fulfilled itself." Sasuke paused and smirked slightly. "I guess that this only proves that fate does not exist. Because if Kronos never heard that supposed "prophecy," then all of Greek mythology would have been drastically different. Perhaps even the world itself if the myths have any truth to them."

Mr. Brunner (as well as most of the class) was in a state of shock. Never before had Sasuke spoken so much to prove a point in class. Sure he spoke to Percy and Grover a bit, but that was the extent. And while convincing, Mr. Brunner couldn't help but feel that Sasuke was wrong.

"Well of course he's wrong!" a part of his mind told him. "You've met the Fates themselves! Therefore fate exists!"

Despite his personal beliefs, he commended the young Uchiha on his answer and gave him credit. He then turned to Percy and asked him to finish the story of Kronos. Mr. Brunner couldn't help but chuckle internally whenever Percy stumbled over his words and either Sasuke or Grover hissed the correct answer to him.

It was then that the wheelchair-bound teacher heard Nancy Bobofit mutter something about when they would ever need this information, and a familiar gleam of amusement appeared in the teacher's eyes.

"And why Mr. Jackson, to paraphrase Ms. Bobofit's excellent question, would we need this information in everyday life?"

Percy looked stumped completely. The poor boy seemed to be frantically trying to find an answer to the question, but seemed to be drawing blanks.

"I don't know sir," he replied sadly.

Mr. Brunner sighed slightly and turned to Sasuke. "Mr. Uchiha?" he asked. Sasuke responded instantly.

"Who knows? Perhaps we'll end up meeting the supposed "King of the Gods" and need to answer some stupid pop quiz about how he killed his father in order to not be speared by a lightning bolt," Sasuke remarked with a smirk.

Most of the class snickered at the raven-haired boy's response. It was rare for Sasuke to crack jokes, but when he did most people often found them a little funny. Mr. Brunner on the other hand shook his head slightly, knowing full well that was something that Zeus would probably do whenever some mortal pissed him off.

"I see. Well, half credit then Mr. Jackson. Same to you Mr. Uchiha," Mr. Brunner said. "And on that happy note, I think it's time for lunch."

Sasuke chewed his tomato sandwich, carefully monitoring his surroundings. Something seemed off to him today, and not in the good way.

For starters, there was the startling amount of dark chakra permeating the air. Something was definitely not right for there to be dark chakra around. Sasuke sniffed the air, then carefully observed some more. This chakra was almost familiar to him, almost like the corrupted chakra of the Curse Mark he used to bear, only less corrupted and more dark.

Not only that, but there were a frighteningly large amount of storm clouds overhead. The weather channel this morning hadn't reported any storms today, so this was worrying. This also looked familiar to Sasuke. It almost looked like the thunderclouds he had helped form when he had used Kirin against Itachi, except these were probably natural… in some way.

He could only guess based on the info given to him before he arrived that Zeus was probably pissed about something…

Flashback…

Sasuke's eyes snapped open as he finally came to. Glancing around, he could only find himself in some sort of a void of empty white light. Nothing could be distinguished and nothing could be seen but white.

Idly gripping his left arm, Sasuke glanced down to notice that it was still just a stump from where his arm had disintegrated after that final clash with his former teammate. The bleeding had stopped, but the phantom pain still remained. Sasuke grimaced and looked around once more, his dual EMS/Rinnegan eyes activating for a brief moment before fading due to the lingering chakra exhaustion.

Hearing a groan to his right, Sasuke glanced over to the side. He was actually surprised to see his former teammate rousing from her slumber.

"Ugh! What the hell?"

Sasuke smirked. "Good to see you're finally awake, eh dobe?" he said teasingly.

The blond-haired girl raised her remaining arm to flip the middle finger at Sasuke before groaning in discomfort.

"What just happened? Did we die or something?" Naruto asked, cracking her neck idly as she sat up.

"Dunno. All I remember is me clashing my Chidori (One Thousand Birds) against your Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere) and that's it."

Naruto groaned again before looking around a little bit, her hand idly fingering her long hair. She turned back to Sasuke.

"So if we're dead, what about the Infinite Tsukuyomi? How do we stop it if we're dead?" she asked.

"That's for me to worry about Naruto," a voice echoed.

The two turned to look at where the voice came from. They were greeted with the sight of a familiar looking figure, with his rust-red hair, long beard, the marking on his forehead, the sage staff resting across his crossed legs, and finally the purple eyes with four concentric circles surrounding the pupil.

"Old Man Six-Paths?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "I thought you faded back to the Pure World after Naruto and I started our clash," he remarked.

Hagoromo chuckled. "I did. As of now, the two of you are in the space in between life and death. You've been through quite a lot, haven't you?" He glanced into the space behind Naruto. "I know you're there Kurama."

The space behind Naruto shimmered and glowed red before materializing the familiar form of Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox. The Fox looked at the Sage for a moment before smirking.

"You always could sense me, eh old man?"

"What parent couldn't ever know when their child was eavesdropping?" Hagoromo teased. "I know that foxes are cunning, so I guessed you would be listening in from inside Naruto's seal."

"So what's this about us being in between life and death?" Naruto asked, her head tilted in confusion. "What does that even mean?"

"It means that you could die, and you could live. It all depends on the choices you decide to make from here on out," Hagoromo replied.

"Choices?" Sasuke asked.

"The world is changing Sasuke," the Sage said. "Even now as we speak, the world is finally moving towards peace like I had originally wanted. Like my mother had wanted, before her lust for power drove her mad. As of now, the Bijuu aren't even needed as weapons of war like some had intended with the creation of the Jinchuriki."

The Sage of the Six Paths looked over the two reincarnations of his sons, smiling softly at the sight. They reminded him so much of Asura and Indra. He chuckled inwardly. Well, there was one major difference, and it wasn't just Naruto being a girl. (Though, that was part of the reason)

"While you might be instrumental in the days to come, I believe that it may be time for you two to move on to new horizons. There is a whole new way of living for you two, a new world, and a fresh start. All you have to do is accept," he said.

Sasuke looked a bit conflicted. While he wanted to somehow repent for his crimes and free the world from the Infinite Tsukuyomi, there was a part of him that simply wanted to start anew. No more darkness, no more Curse of Hatred, no more revenge. He wanted to just be Sasuke Uchiha, maybe have a family. He simply wanted to escape from it all.

Naruto was also conflicted. She wanted to be there in the Elemental Nations and witness the peace she helped create, as well as finally become the Hokage of the Leaf, and fulfil her dream. But at the same time, she had the feeling that Sasuke wouldn't be returning with her if she did, and she couldn't picture herself losing Sasuke again. This time though, it would be forever.

Hagoromo looked at their conflicted faces and smiled softly. "In this new world, I can guarantee that you will see your parents again."

Immediately the two rivals/friends stiffened and immediately began realizing what the Sage was saying. They could see their parents again. Sasuke fought back the emotion welling up as he thought about reuniting with his parents again, his mother hugging him tightly and his father smiling and telling him that he was proud of him, despite his faults and mistakes. A part of him even imagined Itachi there, poking him in the forehead like he always did. Naruto pictured meeting Minato and Kushina once again, and tears actually began to well up in her eyes. However, after picturing this, Sasuke immediately became suspicious.

"How are we to see them again? They're dead, unless you're referring to the afterlife," he growled.

Hagoromo smiled again. "There is something about your parents that you might not have known before. Something that they kept from the entire village." The Sage took a deep breath and dropped the bomb of the century. "Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha were not human. They were gods of a completely different pantheon, of a different world in fact."

The two rivals' jaws dropped. "Gods?" Naruto asked, shock evident on her face. Sasuke was so frazzled that his EMS/Rinnegan eyes were flickering on and off like the lights on a Christmas tree.

"Yes. They were gods."

Immediately Sasuke's mind began trying to contemplate what the implications of this would be. If his father was a god, then how did he not know about the Elders and the Lord Third and their decision to eliminate the Uchiha? If his father was a god, then how did Itachi kill him? Did he even die? Naruto was also trying to figure out what this meant as well. If he was a god, then how did he sacrifice his soul to the Shinigami to seal Kurama?

"I know that you both must be confused. But I can promise that answers will come to you should you accept to go," the Sage told them.

Sasuke pondered for a little bit longer before making his decision. Turning to the Sage, he nodded his acceptance. He then turned to Naruto.

"You don't have to come along if you don't want to Naruto," he told her, much to her shock. "You've got a village who adores you, lots of friends, and you're probably going to become the Hokage when this is all over. I have none of that. I need a fresh start. You don't."

Naruto laughed dryly. "You really don't get it, do ya teme?" she told him. "You forget, I've already lost you once. I'm not losing you again. Besides, what's being Hokage if the one guy I've ever been closest to isn't there?" She walked forward and pulled Sasuke into a hug, much to the black-haired teenager's surprise. "You're not getting rid of me that easily. I'm not gonna lose you again. Believe it," she murmured.

She broke the hug and gave him her usual foxy grin. Sasuke fought the blush that wanted to form on his cheeks, and simply gave a small uncharacteristic smile. Naruto then turned back to Hagoromo.

"We'll both take the deal Gramps!"

Hagoromo chuckled. "Very well, but first we'll have to make a few changes. For starters, it would probably be best if the two of you were a little younger when you arrive. It might help out with the place that is specifically designed for people like you, those known as demigods." He put a hand towards his chin and stroked his beard. "Perhaps at around twelve years of age?" He snapped his fingers. "I almost forgot. We'll have to fix those missing arms of yours won't we?"

Sasuke was a bit wary when the Sage held up a single handsign and formed a pulsating ball of chakra. Placing a hand on each side of the orb, Hagoromo pulled it in half, holding a ball of blue chakra in one hand and a ball of red chakra in the other.

"Banbutsu Sozo! (Creation of All Things)"

Real Time…

Needless to say, it was good to have his arm back. Sasuke and Naruto were both surprisingly okay with being de-aged back to the age of twelve. Unfortunately they ended up having most of their most powerful skills locked away until they built their chakra capacity back up. They could still summon snakes, toads, and hawks, as well as use their signature jutsu such as Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clone), Rasengan, and Chidori. (Although Naruto was mortified to learn that her chakra control was as it was when she was twelve, aka "shot to hell", while Sasuke found out that he was stuck back at the limit of only two Chidori a day since he didn't have a Curse Mark bolstering him. It also really annoyed him that he couldn't use Indra's Arrow for a long time) Their most powerful skills and techniques were locked as of now, the most prominent being Naruto's Bijuu Mode/Asura Avatar, Six Paths Mode, and Rasengan variants, while Sasuke lost access to his Rinnegan and EMS techniques. Kirin was still available, but as of yet Sasuke hadn't needed to use it, and the prep time was far too high for a petty brawl. (Sasuke had been practicing and found that he had at least gotten his chakra capacity up enough to use Amaterasu (Illuminating Heaven) but the technique was still far too draining to use as anything other than a last resort)

Sasuke and Naruto decided to split up and search for more information on this supposed "camp" for demigods that Hagoromo taught them about. Naruto ultimately decided to search the wilderness as she relearned Sage Mode, while Sasuke decided to go into the city to track down the odd chakra signatures that his Sharingan had picked up on.

His searches were not without success and failure respectively. On the downside, he couldn't home in on what exactly the chakra was, but it almost felt like Naruto's Sage Chakra a couple times. This later homed in on Mr. Brunner, and surprisingly Grover. Another he noticed felt almost divine in nature, similar to the chakra he felt from Kaguya, but mixed with normal chakra that he would find in a normal civilian of the Leaf. That one was found to Percy. The dark chakra signature he had detected was still an unknown. As of yet, Sasuke hadn't found out who it was who held it, but his main suspects were Nancy Bobofit and Ms. Dodds. (The math teacher being slightly higher than the red-haired nuisance.)

Sasuke was shaken out of his thoughts when Grover sat down next to him, idly chewing on the cold enchilada he had somehow kept in his lunchbox. Grover swallowed and looked over at Sasuke's sandwich.

"Okay man, I'm a vegetarian and even I don't get how you can eat the same kind of tomato sandwich every day!" Grover remarked.

"You eat cheese enchiladas every day Grover. You have no room to talk," Sasuke deadpanned.

Grover paused as he was about to take another bite, before nodding. He didn't care what food he ate, as long as it wasn't meat he was okay with that. Sasuke shook his head at Grover's continued inhaling of the enchilada before going back to eating his own sandwich at a more reserved pace.

Percy came out few minutes later, backpack slung over his shoulder as he walked to the group sitting by the fountain. He wrinkled his nose at the sight of Sasuke's sandwich.

"How can you eat that?" he asked, his face turning a little green.

"Hey, don't diss the tomatoes," Sasuke growled. "If you do, I'll just end up dissing the blue food you eat."

Percy shook his head in amazement. Few things ever got Sasuke to show emotion, and they were as follows; insulting his hair, showing they were actually worthy of being a rival to him, and dissing his tomatoes. For odd reasons, Sasuke was addicted to tomatoes like how Percy was addicted to blue food. Percy had asked about it once, and he got the feeling from Sasuke's explanation that it was something his mother often made him when he was young and it was just a comfort food as much as something he just ate frequently.

It boggled Percy's mind that Sasuke could even survive with the death of his parents, older brother, and all his distant relatives. Percy would have probably tried suicide to rejoin his family if his mother died, but Sasuke simply lived trying to honor their memory by becoming the best at everything. He did mention once that an old friend of his had helped him cope in a few ways, but he never talked much about the girl that was his friend. Percy got the feeling that the two started out hating each other, then became rivals, then friends, then whatever it is now. He figured that there was probably more to their relationship than what Sasuke told him, but Percy believed that there may be some hidden feelings involved. Sure, he was dense when it came to girls but he could see the signs in guys alright.

The trio was shaken out of their thoughts when Nancy Bobofit decided to waltz on over (having given up on her attempts at pickpocketing random passerby) and dump the remains of her lunch right on Grover. Percy immediately got rather pissed and almost began radiating the divine chakra Sasuke had found in him. After casting a Genjutsu (Illusionary Technique) around his eyes, Sasuke activated his Sharingan and took a closer look.

It almost seemed as if the normal blue of Percy's chakra had taken on a color similar to seawater, almost an aquamarine/green color. Sasuke watched fascinated as the chakra seemed to branch out (almost like Naruto's jinchuriki cloak at Version 1) and latch into the water before bringing the water to life in an almost tentacle like form. The water seemed to grab the redheaded nuisance and yank her right into the fountain. However, at the same time Sasuke could see the blurry image of what appeared to be Percy shoving Nancy into the fountain over top of the actual event.

Sasuke couldn't help but raise his eyebrow. "Genjutsu?" he thought. "Something seems off about this, but given how paranoid these gods are according to the Sage, I'm not surprised they do this to us 'mortals.'"

Immediately after the incident, Nancy began screaming bloody murder about Percy "pushing her" and Ms. Dodds jumped into action. She almost seemed to be triumphant of something, and her eyes almost seemed like they had flashed red for a moment. Then Sasuke recognized it. The dark chakra.

He should have known it was Ms. Dodds. She was just too evil to be a normal math teacher, no matter how evil they all might be.

As she hustled Percy into the museum, Sasuke darted away from the crowd and flipped through his handseals for a jutsu he had copied a while back and could at least use for a little bit without completely draining his reserves.

"Meisaigakure no Jutsu! (Hiding with Camouflage Technique)" he thought.

Without a word, he vanished from sight like a chameleon and slipped after Percy and the creature known as Ms. Dodds.

-Page Break-

Percy was on the verge of panicking and possibly having a heart attack. He had expected to get detention for a month or expelled. He hadn't counted on his teacher turning into a winged monster with the intent to tear him to shreds.

"This isn't happening! This isn't happening!" his brain kept repeating.

Unfortunately Percy's eyes disagreed with his brain, because he could still see the demonic old lady trying to swoop in and rip his heart out.

Right as the winged fiend was about to drop down and probably eviscerate the poor half-blood, a familiar voice was heard.

"Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu! (Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique)"

About a half-dozen fireballs the size of a basketball rocketed out of nowhere, several impacting against Ms. Dodds. The winged creature screeched in rage and pain as she slammed against the opposite wall. Percy stared in disbelief at what had just happened before hearing the voice yell at him.

"Oi! Jackson! Get your ass in gear and get out of there!"

Percy followed the sound of the voice and finally found its owner. It was Sasuke, somehow sticking his feet to the ceiling. The onyx-haired teen dropped down to the ground and pulled out three small black daggers of sorts out of his sleeve. Holding up a closed fist with the index and middle finger sticking up, Sasuke held the knives tightly in between his fingers on the other hand. Seconds later, what appeared to be fire ignited around the blades between his fingers, and Sasuke jumped up several feet.

Flicking his wrist, Sasuke sent the flame-covered knives flying right at the winged creature. They buried themselves in the transformed math teacher's chest, searing the skin shut to stall any healing the creature might have.

Sasuke glanced back at Percy and scoffed. It figured that Percy wasn't that great at self-defense yet. Fine by him. It just meant more for him.

Turning back to the creature, he was a little annoyed that his kunai were now out of its chest, with no visible wounds left except for the burns left by his Fire-Style chakra. He swore angrily. If his kunai had no effect but the flames did, then that meant that he would only be able to use jutsu against it. While he could use Amaterasu or Chidori, that would raise far too many questions. Chidori would drain him a decent amount, but he wasn't sure if it was immune to lightning or not. Amaterasu was completely out of the question. If he used that, he'd immediately succumb to chakra exhaustion, and in the event that the flames weren't extinguished after he passed out then the whole city could burn.

Sasuke sighed. Chidori it is then. He flipped through the handseals, then held his left arm in front of him as sparks began to form. Percy watched in awe as the sound of sparks slowly grew louder and louder until the sound of chirping birds filled the room as Sasuke's palm was enveloped in lightning. Sasuke held his hand out to the side as his eyes turned red with three tomoe arranged in a circle around the pupil. Then at speeds that Percy could barely follow, his friend charged straight at Ms. Dodds, with the obvious intent to impale her with his hand.

"Chidori!"

Sasuke quickly reached Ms. Dodds and stabbed his lightning filled palm right through her stomach. Ms. Dodds coughed and spat a strangely golden-colored blood, before looking at Sasuke.

"You, Sasuke Uchiha," she murmured, much to Sasuke's surprise. "You have grown strong indeed… but you cannot yet kill me as you would like." Ms. Dodds coughed up more blood and grinned maliciously at Sasuke. "As such… I cannot kill you either, unless I wish to incur the wrath of your father. But Jackson is still my target, and I will not be denied!"

With that she wrenched herself off of Sasuke's hand and shoved him to the side. Sasuke slammed against one of the pillars (ironically the one he answered the question about earlier) and slid down to the ground. Ms. Dodds then proceeded to fly straight at Percy, again with intent to kill. Percy backed up frantically, until he heard his friend's staggered voice.

"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu! (Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique)"

A gigantic fireball, much larger than the ones Percy had seen him unleash earlier, rocketed from Sasuke's mouth and impacted with Ms. Dodds, once again sending her flying into a wall. It was then that Mr. Brunner showed up.

"What ho Percy!" he bellowed before tossing a pen right at Percy.

Percy proceeded to catch the pen, only for it to transform into a familiar bronze sword that he had seen Mr. Brunner use on tournament days. Barely managing to react in time, Percy somehow managed to connect a slash with Ms. Dodd's chest. She simply screeched in rage and agony as she slowly dissolved into ashes.

Then as suddenly as it happened, everything changed. The ash was gone, the sword was now a pen, and all damage from the battle had vanished. Mr. Brunner was gone, and so was all evidence of the fight with the horrific creature. All, except Sasuke.

The boy was still slumped against the pillar, looking beat up to all hell and panting in exhaustion. Percy looked around warily, taking in the surrounding area before looking back at his friend. He was a little shocked to see Sasuke's transformed eyes, which seemed to be darting around and taking in everything nearby. Sasuke panted a little bit more before catching his breath, while his eyes reverted back to their normal coal black color.

"What just happened? I wasn't hallucinating was I?" Percy asked.

"No," Sasuke remarked. "There's some kind of illusion that's keeping us from seeing the aftereffects of that battle. I don't know what it is but at the moment I can't break it."

Percy nodded dumbly before his brain finally caught up with comprehending what he had witnessed his friend do.

"Okay, since when could you breathe fire or generate lightning!?"

Sasuke groaned irritably. One of the reasons why he hadn't planned on using any jutsu at the moment were due to the questions that would be asked about his abilities. His original plan for the source of the dark chakra had been to find it, isolate it, and eliminate it silently without a fuss. Having to do it in public screwed up his policy for secrecy.

"Listen carefully Percy," Sasuke told him. "I will explain all of this, but not now. It's not safe where we are. We need to get out of here now."

Nodding in affirmation (albeit reluctant to leave without hearing Sasuke's story) Percy hefted Sasuke to his feet. The Uchiha clan heir proceeded to dust himself off as best as he could. Looking at Percy, he nodded before walking out towards the entrance.

Nancy Bobofit was waiting for them, still soaked to the bone and still pissed off. She zeroed in on Percy and her scowl got even deeper.

"I hope Ms. Kerr whipped your butt," she growled.

"Who?" Percy asked in his typical clueless manner.

"Our teacher. Duh!"

Sasuke's eyes narrowed as his Sharingan flashed for a moment. It wasn't good. Seemed that the mysterious Genjutsu over everything had rewritten their minds in some fashion. It almost reminded him of Itachi's Tsukuyomi (Moon Reader) or his cousin Shisui's Kotoamatsukami (Distinguished Heavenly Gods) except almost on a divine level if it could rewrite people's memories as quickly and efficiently as he had seen. It almost seemed flawless compared to Tsukuyomi or Kotoamatsukami since it didn't need eyesight to activate. His eyes narrowed a bit further. Given that he and Percy weren't affected by the Genjutsu, he guessed that it was most likely done by one of the Greek gods. Both he and Percy were demigods (even if Percy didn't know it) and therefore had divine chakra flowing through their systems, thus subconsciously breaking them from the illusion as they got older.

Percy still clueless, asked Nancy what she was talking about. She simply scoffed at Percy "being and idiot" and walked off. Percy then went over to try and talk to Mr. Brunner, only for it to not go as well.

"Percy there was never a Ms. Dodds on this field trip. As far as I can recall, there has never been a Ms. Dodds at Yancy Academy. Are you feeling alright?"

Percy was dumbfounded. He turned around and walked towards Sasuke, only for Sasuke to hold a finger to his lips.

"I'll explain later. Just trust me on this," Sasuke told him.

Percy shook his head in amazement. He still had no clue what was going on.

End Chapter

Author's Note: Well, not too shabby! (I hope!) So this is a little experiment of mine, just to see how well this will go for me and whether or not I should continue this. If I continue this, I will be separating the story into all five books (Depending. I might cut out Sea of Monsters so we can have the usual 2-year-timeskip that happens a lot.) Make no mistake; by the end of book 5, Sasuke and Naruto will both be back at the level they were at the end of Part 2 of the manga. (AKA: They'll be more powerful than the gods themselves.)

Any guesses as to who their fathers are as their godly counterparts? Fugaku's might be obvious, but what about Minato's?

I'm certain you can guess the pairing already, so I'm going to go ahead and spoil it. Yes it is Sasuke x Fem Naruto. Or rather it will be. The actual romance probably won't start until about book 3, maybe 2 at the earliest. On a random side note, do you guys feel that the plotline of Naruto would gone in a completely different direction if either Naruto or Sasuke were girls? (And the other stayed male of course) Just a random thought.

So that's all I have to say, leave a like, favorite, follow, whatever you feel like! I'll try to work something out for The Witch-King Cometh but I make no promises on when it will be updated. Also, I have an idea for a Naruto/Aliens vs Predator crossover and I'm also working on that. Not sure how that will go either, and I'm feeling like Frogger by jumping back and forth between stories like this. Whatever, I'll get back to work. I've got a lot of writing to do!

See ya on the flip side!
