The Legacy of Athena and Hermes & The Lightning Thief

Naruto Arrives In New York

The night the Kyuubi attacked the leaf village and Minato and Kushina gave their lives protecting Naruto, someone else was watching in another world—a beautiful woman with long black hair and intense gray eyes wearing an elegant white dress. Her name is Athena and she was the Olympian goddess of wisdom and strategy and Minato Namikaze's mother.

There was a flash of brilliant lights behind her. A middle-aged man with an athletic figure-slim and fit with salt-and-pepper hair, with elfish features wearing a nylon running shorts and a New York City Marathon T-shirt. He was Hermes—messenger of the gods and father of Kushina Uzumaki.

"I take it you found out?" Athena asked.

"How can I not," Hermes said. "It was bad enough when they made Kushina the Jichuriki, now because of some nutcase, she died and hers and Minato's son have to carry the burden."

"Minato didn't have a choice," Athena responded.

Hermes sighed. "I know, it's just—after what happened to May—I just can't deal with it. If that village mistreats Naruto, or if things gets out of hand where Naruto might not be safe there, I don't care what father says, I'm bringing him to our word.

"If it comes to that, I'll help you," Athena said.

…Twelve-to-Thirteen Years Later…

A blond spiky hair twelve to thirteen year old with blonde with a surfer tan skin, with an up turned eye brow pointy nose, three pencil line whisker like birth marks on each cheek and eyes that was strange mixture of Gray and blue was fighting his friend and teammate who left the village to gain the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan and of a Sanin.

They were fighting at a waterfall with two statues of their village's founders.

Toward the end red energy known as chakra formed around the blonde in a form of a fox—minus the snout—with one tail while the other boy's skin darkened, hair grew longer and giant hand formed from his back like wings.

The blonde hair boy formed a ball of spinning chakra while the black hair boy formed lightning in his hand. Both jumped at each other and clashed their attacks. When they did it, dark energy spread around them in a sphere.

By time it cleared. The blonde hair boy was unconscious while the other boy was about to kill him. But before he did, he decided to leave it be—for now.

After the black hair boy left there was a brilliant blue light before Hermes appeared.

Over the years Hermes and Athena been on edge to bring Naruto to his world, but when Naruto entered the academy he started making friends—even if Naruto didn't realize it. But now with signs of the Akatsuki rising and eventually going after all the Bijus, Hermes and Athena decided to act while they can and eventually working on a way to save Naruto's friends, including Gaara—the Jinchuriki of the Shukaku.

"Don't worry, Naruto. I'll take you somewhere that will help you with your training," Hermes said.

"Lord Hermes," someone said.

Hermes turned to see a man with gray hair that seemed to spike up and to the side, with a head band—with a metal plate that had a symbol that represents a leaf—over one eye and a mask that covers most of his lower face. Hermes recognized him as his son-in-law's student Kakashi Hatake.

"I'm taking Naruto to my world Kakashi, don't stop me," Hermes said.

"Why?" Kakashi asked, "Is it because how the village treated Naruto?"

"No, and neither Athena nor I would like to be reminded of it," Hermes said, "If it wasn't for the fact Naruto made friends in the Academy we would have took him a long time ago."

"Then why?" Kakashi asked.

"Because we know of the threat coming up, and we decided to help Naruto for it he should train to be a demigod hero," Hermes said, "If Naruto ever decide to return to this world, it would be up to him."

Hermes picked Naruto up and disappeared in a flash.

…

Athena was watching in the distance, making sure nothing went wrong. She been watching the fight and was both amazed and worried by Naruto's actions. It was clear Naruto wasn't as wise as the rest of her children and legacies over the years, but he did had potential as a grandson of hers if he had proper teachings.

She wasn't surprise to see Kakashi arriving. Kakashi had been secretly looking after Naruto. If it wasn't for Sasuke being one of the last two Uchihas, and Kakashi being the only Jonin with the Sharingan that wouldn't try to turn both boys into his own personal weapons, Kakashi would have focus on Naruto as well.

"I better head back," Athena said as she saw Hermes left with Naruto before disappearing herself.

…Next day…

Naruto groaned while his eyes began to flutter open. He found himself in a room he didn't recognized. He was in an apartment, no doubt about that, but it wasn't the apartment in the leaf. The bed he was in was too comfy, the drawers didn't look like something that been through war, even before the sound and sand village attack the leaf.

Naruto noticed a letter taped to the headboard of the bed he was in. He took it and found it was addressed to him. He opened it and when he read it, his eyes opened.

Dear Naruto,

I'm sorry for not picking you up, but we had to wait for the right moment to pick you up. I can't tell you who I am because of family matters you will learn when you're ready, but I want you to know that I'm your grandfather on your mother's side. I didn't act alone though. I had help with your paternal grandmother—your father's mother.

I can tell you that your parents is the Fourth Hokage: Minato Namikaze and his wife and my daughter Kushina Uzumaki. They cared about you deeply and died protecting you. Yes, your father was also the one who sealed the fox demon in you, but he did it because he couldn't ask anyone else to use their children, and he had hopes that you will be able to control the fox's power. They also decided that if anything happened to them before you knew who they were, you would take your mother's maiden name, which is why your last name is Uzumaki.

Now listen, your grandmother and I cared about you too, but because of family traditions you'll come to learn of we couldn't raise you. However, when we heard about the Akatsuki, we decided to take you to our world which is in a different dimension from the ones you grown up: the Elemental Nations for reasons you'll come to understand later.

As for now, your grandmother has enrolled you in a boarding school in Yancy Academy since here you are still required to go to school. In your drawers she left you some books on this world and I left you some clothes we picked out for you, some of this world's currency, and a map in this city. Lastly I recommend you keep your jutsus a secret in this world since here the jutsus you know don't exist.

Naruto, I know this is a lot to take in, and you might have a thousand questions to ask about your heritage, but I promise you, it will be explained over time. Just be patient.

Love,

Your Grandfather

P.S. Your grandmother suggest you start reading up on Greek Mythology. You'll learn why in the future.

Naruto read and reread the letter, making sure this was not a trick, but it was obvious. Once he was done, Naruto smiled and cried with joy. He had grandparents who cared—a family.

Naruto headed to his dresser drawer and found books along with the map of a city called New York. When he open them and tried to read, he found words swiggled around the page like they always do. In a small drawer was a pouch full of green paper called dollars. The Second drawer down had a new set of cloths. They were a mixture of either blue or gray shirts, jeans or capris there were even some orange t-shirts.

Naruto left the bedroom and found himself in a complete apartment. The kitchen was neatly organized and new. The living room had a television a comfy couch and some easy chairs. There was also a door that lead to a clean bathroom with a separate shower and bath. Lastly there was a sliding window door that led out to an open air Terrance and pavilion into a city Naruto guess was New York city. Outside there were large buildings and roads full of vehicles.

Naruto smirked as he yelled. "LOOK OUT WORLD BECAUSE NARUTO UZUMAKI HAS ARRIVED."

A/N: First off, I decided to try my own Naruto and Percy Jackson Crossover and if you haven't guessed, Naruto is the grandson of Hermes and Athena. Why? One thing is because I thought it be a nice change of pace from most crossovers where Naruto is a son of an Olympian who either portrayed as his father in another world or his mother being an Olympian since Kushina was a the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tail Fox before Naruto.

As for why I pick Athena and Hermes, well I pick Hermes since Hermes' kids can be as persuasive as their father as well as can be pranksters, I figured since Naruto can be persuasive when he tries and he use to love pranking I would go with Hermes. I picked Athena since Minato was seen as a genius with his skills in sealing and creating jutsus as well as his victories during the 3rd Great War in Naruto.

I'll add a poll to see which Cabin Naruto should stay in. Whatever cabin he doesn't live in will be the table he eats at which I would explain when Naruto reach Camp Half-Blood and is claimed.

I will be working on this story and the rest including 'The Tales of the Son of Poseidon'

I'm going to make this clear to those who don't approve the idea of legacies in Camp Half-Blood.

One: If you actually looked into Greek Mythology you know there been plenty of Greek Legacies. Heck Frank's ancestors were Greek legacies before they joined the Romans.

Two: Time and time again in the Percy Jackson series they mention many famous names Rick Riordan used as demigods Greek Demigods reaching adulthood-George Washington, Amelia Earhart, F.D.R., General Sherman and many more-many of which had children of their own which would make their kids legacies.

Three: About Naruto not being wise enough to be a Legacy of Athena, keep in mind in future reference for any sequel fanfictions of Percy Jackson that when Percy and Annabeth have kids, if they have any of Percy's personality they might not have much interest in school and thus not show much of any of Athena's wisdom. So I should have a pass on the matter with Naruto because of that fact.

Four: Since I made Naruto a legacy of Athena through Minato, he can't have any connections with the Romans as for any god/goddess, Olympian or Minor to have a legacy they must have children who later grow up to have children of their own. Minerva doesn't have kids, and it been clear before the return of Athena's Parthenos the idea of the matter was saw as a disgrace to the Romans as it meant Minerva broke her vow in their eyes. Not to mention the fact that the feud between Greek and Romans was kept alive for so long because of Athena.

Also for anyone who thinks it be okay having a child/Legacy of Artemis or Hestia to meet the romans, although Diana or Vesta wasn't treated any worse from their Greek counterparts as the comparison of Athena and Minerva, keep in mind they also made a vow to not have any kids, and since Romans take their vows so seriously they have their own god whose domain is over vows I think they would frown upon the idea of Diana and Vesta breaking their vows. Although I did enjoy The Son of the Huntress series, even though Naruto saved Reyna and Hylla the fact any more Romans would accept the idea there being a child and grandchild of two virgin goddesses feels a bit far fetch.
