So… I read Son of the Huntress. I also am playing Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.

And I was a bit disappointed no one ever made a Percy Jackson x Monster Hunter cross.

I also read a Percy Jackson cross, not sure anymore if it was Harry Potter or Naruto, once where the main character was born out of both parents thanks to Athena being able to birth people from her mind.

I admit not having read enough the books yet to make an original Percy Jackson x Monster Hunter story, but with a crossover with another as a medium…

So the idea is, Artemis, also known as one of the greek goddesses of childbirth, helps Minato and Kushina when they can't have Naruto. But, as a consequence, he is in part son of Artemis (without losing his original parentage with either of them), basically making him a third divine (there are precedents, Gilgamesh was two thirds, even if he was given no explanation). This has consequences, among them giving him a Palico summon and the ability to visit the Monster Hunter world.
Yes, this does change the Gaara fight greatly. I will show it in a flashback eventualy.

IIIII

The woman was surrounded. And judging by the kind of people those were, they were not planning something that would be fun for her.

That was a band of bandits, together with some runaway ninjas. Some of them clealy high-level to anyone that could sense chakra, maybe even jounin.

But... she wasn't worried.

For one reason, she had no idea what that meant. She was new to the Elemental Countries, you see.

For the other… she had yet to meet a mortal that could hurt her unless she let them.

"Well, lady, it seems like you are in trouble. Why don't you come with us?"

"No thank you. I have my own business to take care of."

She said it like they were no problem for her. Her dismissing tone clearly set them off though, the bandits getting furious.

"Well, we gave you a chance. Let's see how you like our fun now."

The woman started feeling dirty with the man's hungry leer over her body. She would enjoy teaching them a lesson in respect—

"Oh, we are gonna have fun? Can I join?" sounded a happy female voice from a nearby tree.

On top of the tree stood a woman with long red hair, and a happy smile.

A woman that made the ninjas in the group blanch on sight.

"It's the Blood Red Habanero!" one of them screamed, and started trying to run away, before being stopped by another.

"She is alone, idiot!" the other said. "She can't be that strong if the Yellow Flash is always with her. Now we can use her as a hostage and be known for defeating him!"

The outsider just blinked in confusion, before looking at the red-haired woman, seeing her smile was really strained now.

"Yeah, you're right! Haha, bring it on, bit—"

The bandits had no idea what happened. Hell, most of the missing nin had no idea either. One second they were looking at the woman in the tree, the next a red blur hit the talking man, making him vomit blood, and threw him on at least three others.

The outsider, meanwhile, just blinked. She had no idea mortals could move like that.
Oh yes, she saw everything. That does not mean it was not a surprise.

She saw a sai-like knife hitting the ground beside her, but it held no hostility so she did not even react.

She did jump in surprise when a man appeared in a yellow flash from it though.
…must be the one the bandits were talking about.

He had spiky yellow hair, blue eyes, a pink apron and thermic gloves, holding a pot of some kind of hot soup and a stack of bowls.

"Kushi-chan! I brought you ramen!" he said.

"In a minute Minato!" the red-head replied.

And if it was possible her attacks became even more ferocious. The outsider resisted the urge to shiver, it seemed that the woman still wasn't giving her all. She had a suspicion that if she did the men would not survive.

Not that she cared if they did or not.

IIIII

After the "battle", the two invited the outsider to dine with them.

The man, Minato, seemed honourable, but reserved. The woman, Kushina, was energetic and seemed overly happy.

They both seemed to either trust her or dismiss her as a danger, though. And since she saw the woman fighting and the others seemed to think the man was the most dangerous of the two, she doubted it was the later.

"So… are you a samurai or something?" Kushina asked, intruding on her thoughts. "I mean, you move like you can fight, but I barely sense any chakra from you."

"My name is Artemis. I am a goddess," she said, awaiting the answer from her hosts.

The common answers were disbelief, or worship. Disbelief came in many flavors, from laughter to trying to take her to a mental hospital to asking for proof.

Being asked which one as if it was normal to meet them was new, though.

"Um, I am not a local goddess, my name is Artemis. I come from another land in search of an enemy that escaped here."

"Well, be careful not to mess with the local ones' business much. I only know the Shinigami personally due to my family being able to summon it, but I wouldn't want any one as my enemy," said Kushina. "But again, you are also one, so it may not be that big of a problem for you."

"Oh, so you know a local deity?"

"Yes, we should go to the Mask Temple near Konoha, so you can ask him what you want to do. As long as you are not trying to mess with their business there shouldn't be any problem."

"Oh… ok, good idea," Artemis said, totally out of her depth. She looked at Minato only to see him staring at her, as if racking his brain for something.

"Something wrong?"

"Oh, I'm sorry…" Minato apologized. "But, are you a goddess of Nature? I'm still learning Sage Mode, but I can feel a lot of Nature Energy coming from you…"

"Yes, in a way. In my land I am the goddess of the hunt, the animals, the wilderness, the moon, the chastity and sort of of childbirth—"

"DID YOU SAY CHILDBIRTH?"

Artemis resisted the urge to jump back from the look Kushina was giving her. Barely.

There was worship, then there was looking at her like she was her personal savior.

"I'm sorry for that," said Minato, but Artemis couldn't avoid looking at her eyes. "There was a battle incident, Kushina can't have children anymore, and her dream was of us having a child…"

"Even Tsunade, the best doctor of the Elemental Nations, could not heal me… but you…"

"I-I'm not sure if I can—"

"We are going to get you permission right now!" Kushina said, grabbing Artemis in her arms and running away with her in a direction Artemis hoped was this Mask Temple.

Then she blinked as a flash appeared beside her, and Minato joined the run.

"Er… Kushina—"

"Minato, Hiraishin to temple. Now!"

"Yes dear."

IIIII

In the end, it wasn't that Artemis didn't have permission (although the Shinigami was amused enough when it was asked), but because she never did it before. She was a childbirth goddess because she helped her brother be born, but never actually made anyone pregnant with divine power.

Kushina's answer of there being always a first time didn't fill her with confidence.

"Ok, I will try. But I want to make it clear, I have no idea what may happen to the child. It may be… a third god or something."

"We are ready." Kushina said, seriously.

"I—"

"We are ready," Kushina interrupted Minato, who wisely decided to keep quiet from then on.

Artemis shrugged, and put her hands on Kushina's belly. It glowed silver for a while, before the glow was absorbed by the mortal woman.

Kushina could feel the energy. It was not healing her, but blessing her womb.

"It is done. From now on, you will get pregnant as long as you don't use protection, and your pregnancy and birthing will be easier than most," Artemis declared, seriously.

Only to be attacked by a hugging Kushina crying "thank you" repeteadly.

"You don't look happy, though," Minato said, a bit worried.

"Well, I am a goddess of chastity too. This just feels… wrong for me."

Minato just nodded. What could you be said to that? It would be like the Shinigami acting as an accoucheur.

"Wait…" Kushina opened her eyes suddenly. "You said 'from now on'…"

Minato's eyes widened, as the redhead turned to him with a hungry look in hers.

With a resigned sigh, he pointed to a room nearby, "Artemis, this is our guest room. Do not worry, I will activate silence seals so you don't hear anything as long as Kushina doesn't break the wall again."

"No promises," sang the woman as she carried the man to their own room.

Artemis just looked, unsure of her own opinions about what just happened.

IIIII

Artemis visited Konoha, more specifically spent time with Kushina and Minato, for almost three months.

Well, more like she was kidnapped at night by a still grateful Kushina and a resigned Minato.

She was the first one they told of the pregnancy. She was there for their secret marriage. She was there when they chose that pig as the godfather (a title that made her snort) because he had been like a second father to Minato.

She was still surprised when a smiling Kushina held herself back from laughing when she asked her to be his godmother.

"…You do know that I am sort of his third parent, right?"

Kushina nodded.

"And you remember that I'm a goddess, right?"

Another nod.

"So…"

"It's the perfect title, isn't it? No one not in the known would figure out!"

Artemis sighed.

"Kushina, my hunt is almost over, and I'll soon have to go back to my land. I won't be able to meet Naruto when he is born."

"But you can come visit us later, right? Then you'll be able to see him."

That was the hard part to explain.

"There is a decree that forbids gods of my land to interact for long with their children. We can see them from time to time, but it is limited. I do not know if this will aply to Naruto, but if it does…

I will try to convince my father to make an exception," she said to the saddened Kushina, "but I won't be able to meet him until he manifests any powers I gave him either way. It usually happens when the child is around twelve years."

Kushina was still sad, but nodded.

"Well, guess he will have to live with only stories for a while. Of a wonderful woman that helped his parents be able to get him born."

IIIII

"Well, this is it. This is goodbye for now."

Only Kushina, Minato and Tsunade were there. Of the people who knew of Artemis identity, the only ones missing were the third Hokage and Jiraiya, since the Hokage was acting in Minato's place while he was there and Jiraiya…

Well, Artemis didn't get along with him.

The reason the old Hokage and the two sannin knew was that they were friends with the couple, and the only ones that knew Tsunade considered Kushina unable to have children. So they were forced to explain it.

Tsunade was very curious about her brother Apolo, but unfortunately for her brother it was purely in a medical point of view, as he was the medicine patron.

"Do you promise to come back?"

"I told you guys, I will come when little Naruto is ready… So just wait for me, ok?"

"Twelve years… It may not be much for you, but for us it will be a lot…"

She then hugged the goddess.

Artemis hugged back. She hoped that when she returned to the Elemental Nations the couple would be there waiting for her.

Unfortunately, her instincts said otherwise, and as the goddess of the hunt she learned to trust them… She was not going to say it, but she knew this would be goodbye.

Kushina then drew a surprised Minato in the hug, and Artemis, despite her usual distrust of men, hugged him too. He had proven himself a loyal, wise and worthy person. He would be a great leader. Already was.

She then let go, and opened the passage back. She looked back, and with a smile and a wave went through it, never letting her gaze leave the two.

She really hoped she was wrong. That when she returned they would be there, waiting for her.

IIIII

Sometimes, Artemis hated being right.

She arrived and went to Konoha as soon as she was allowed. She had to see them, to convince herself she had been wrong.

She failed.

Minato and Kushina died the very day Naruto was born. By way of giant monster.

Monster that was sealed in Naruto, giving him a terrible childhood.

And now she was in a hospital room, together with Tsunade and Jiraiya, looking at the healing Naruto who was defeated in battle with a traitor he was trying to rescue.

"…Why the cat though?" she asked, looking right at a calico cat sitting besides the boy.

"That is Ace," Tsunade replied, with a bit of surprise.

Artemis was not in the mood, so just looked at her instead of asking for her to tell more.

"Wait, it wasn't you that gave him the Palico summon contract?" Jiraiya asked, surprised.

"I only know what a summon contract is because his father told me he signed yours, how could I give him any?"

Jiraiya rubbed his eyes, frustrated. "Well, there goes that theory."

Artemis was the one confused this time.

"When I made him sign the toad contract, he told me he could feel three chakras, his normal one, a red one that we believe is of the beast sealed inside him, and a silver one. Using the silver one to summon we got Ace there, and a summon contract to Palicos.
Since they are supposedly hunter helpers, and the region they reverse-summon him to is called the Hunting Grounds, where he can't use his chakra for anything more than sealing scrolls so he has to trust his skills and instincts to survive, with a Hunters Guild as the closest thing he could tell of a government, we were pretty sure you were somehow the one that gave him the contract."

"I can certainly see why you'd think so… Maybe my domain affected him enough for him to be able to summon them when he used the powers he got from me," Artemis agreed, looking at the sleeping boy. He couldn't see the eyes, but the hair was clearly Minato's, while the face was pure Kushina save for the whisker birthmarks.

"So, what will you do now that you met him?" Tsunade asked, a bit worried for Naruto.

"He is of age to learn to use his powers. If he agrees, I am taking him to Camp Half-Blood so Chiron can teach him. Either way, I am telling him everything."

"You can't!" Jiraiya interrupted. "He is not mature enough to deal with it! And I already am taking him in a training trip!"

That was the wrong thing to say.

Artemis turned around, putting a hunting knife under Jiraiya's chin so fast even the two sannin barely saw her move.

"From what you told me he saved the village from a giant being that could destroy it easily, helped convince the new leader to accept her position and is currently lying in that bed because someone he trusted and risked his life to save turned out to be a traitor. Age is not the same as maturity.
And who gave you the authority to take him on this training trip? Tsunade looked at you surprised, so she clearly did not."

"I am his godfather, it is my right to—"

"And I'm his godmother, and I say he can go only if he agrees to go. If you are going to pull the godfather card, why did you leave him alone for twelve years? You already know I was only allowed to come now, and I didn't know what happened to his parents until minutes ago.
And don't come with using your spy network or his father's enemies as an excuse. You could have just visited from time to time, and I can thing of excuses for why from the top of my head and I've only been here for less than half an hour."

"And why would he agree to go with you? He has no idea who you are, while I've trained him for months."

"Because I've not kept any secret from him nor pretended to be a stranger, and you did not deny anything I said even though you should have noticed he has been only pretending to sleep ever since we arrived."

Jiraiya's eyes widened, and he looked to the bed, meeting with Naruto's open eyes filled with sorrow and betrayal.
Unable to stand them, he left the room.

The eyes then moved to Tsunade.

"I thought you were ready, but sensei had said he would only tell you if you made chunnin. Jiraiya asked me to let him tell you when he thought you were ready instead, since he is your godfather."

"So, it is true… he is my godfather, but he just… left me… and, acting as if he didn't even know me, then I had to convince him to help me…"

Tsunade cringed. She knew the theatrics were because Jiraiya was mostly ashamed of being away for so long and couldn't make himself face Naruto, but not only Artemis only saw the worst of him until now, meaning no help from her, Jiraiya's shame shutting him up made him seem like a manipulative bastard. And if she tried to defend him, Naruto would see it as taking his side.

"I will try to beat some sense into him, bring him back to see what he has to say in his defence. While I do it, why don't you two talk?
Artemis, before you tell him about his parents, why don't you tell him about yourself?"

That said, she left them alone, ready to do her best to make Jiraiya try to apologize, with her fists if needed.

The two stood silent, Naruto wanting to listen, Artemis not knowing what to say.

"So… you said you had a reason for not coming back until now?" Naruto tried asking.

"Yes. You see, my father made a rule after a war. I was not allowed to meet you until now. Since I am from outside the Elemental Nations, and… well, I respect him despite everything wrong he did sometimes, I wasn't just able to come visit you in secret either."

Naruto nodded. That was an understandable reason…

"Now is the part you may not believe… I am not human."

Naruto blinked. "Excuse me?"

"I am more like the beings you from here refer to as Kami. In my land, I am known as the goddess of the Hunt, Animals, Wilderness, Moon, Chastity and Childbirth."

"…You're a Kami?"

"My land's equivalent to one."

Naruto just looked at her in disbelief for a bit.

"Oh, I-I'm sorry, it's a bit much to take," he said, when he noticed he was just staring at her.

"Well, you sure are taking your time, but that's normal. Your parents accepting it outright were the weird ones."

"So… you met my parents?"

"Yes. I am the goddess of the Hunt, so I came here hunting something, it doesn't matter what anymore. Your parents arrived when some bandits wanted to attack me, not knowing what I am. Your mother had been damaged in the womb and couldn't have children, so I blessed her. She… didn't take no for becoming her friend after that…"

"Really? So if they didn't meet you I may have never been born?"

"Maybe. She could still get pregnant, but the chances were very low. I made the chance certain.
But…"

"There's always a 'but'…" Naruto sighed.

"By blessing the womb, it became both a part of your mother and mine. So you do not have two parents… you have three. Making me your godmother was just a pun Kushina made."

Naruto's mind was reeling. He didn't care that it wasn't normal to have three parents, he had a living one! And Kushina, that was his mom's name?

"S-so, if you are also my parent, wouldn't that make me an exception to your father's rule?"

"You being my son is the reason for my father's rule not letting me visit… Naruto, being the child of a god gives someone powers beyond normal humans… and that means you could be either a hero or a villain. There was a big war among half-gods, supposedly to impress their parents, and so my father made a rule limiting the contact between gods and their children. They couldn't meet until the child was able to use their godly powers, and even then only for a bit."

"Wouldn't that make them… I mean, us, more likely to try to impress them, though?"

"Well, it is more a punishment on the parent than on the children due to not being able to control their progeny, but the children are explained why it is so as soon as they are told what they are. This supposedly discourages them to trying a repeat so they aren't punished even more."

Naruto nodded in understanding. A bit bitter that a bunch of people ruined it for everyone though.

"There is a place where I come from made to teach people with divine progeny how to use their powers."

"That Camp Half-Blood place?"

"Yes. Demigods like you go there to learn how to use their powers and, hopefuly, become heroes.
But, if you do not want to go there, I will not force you."

Naruto thought for a bit.

"I really want to become Hokage, Artemis-sama. At first to be recognized, but now to protect those precious to me.
If you think these godly powers would help me do that, then I would be glad to do so."

"Great. Now, we just need to figure out a way to take you there and back. I used my divine powers to come here, and could do the same to take you there, but then I'd have to bring you back myself…"

"I can do it!" said Ace the cat.

Artemis blinked. Not because the cat was speaking, even if she couldn't speak with animals she knew summons could speak, but because of what he was saying.

"Excuse me?"

"Well, I and him are summon partners, so I can open a portal between here and other places. I need to have been there though, and it takes time. It's how I take him to the Hunting Grounds."

"Oh, perfect then," she said. "Speaking of that place, could you take me there one of these days? As I said, I am the goddess of the Hunt, so with a name like that…"

"Sure… but will you be able to use your powers there? I mean, I can't even use chakra," replied Naruto.

"I don't use my powers when hunting myself. I try to go with my skills with a bow and hunting knives."

"I use a Glaive myself," Naruto replied happily, "but I always wanted to try using a bow. But I'd need special armor for that, since long and short distance fighters use different kinds of armor there.

Hey, we could make a team! I heard that teams can be made of up to four people there!"

"That would be nice," Artemis said, while petting Ace.

"…Hey, want to sign the Palico Contract? From how Ace is acting to you, I think they'd be happy to join you."

"Well, Animals is one of my domains… but sure, a Palico to send me there by myself would let me go even when we are apart."

Naruto looked at her surprised, then looked down.

"Ah, right. Won't be able to see each other much."

"Well… who knows. If the Hunting Grounds is out of Olympus' reach…"

Naruto replied with a mischievous smile that was obviously inherited from Kushina.

"Can you use chakra? It is sort of needed."

"Your parents taught me."

That reminded Naruto that Artemis knew his other two parents.

"Here you go," he said, summoning the contract as if it was a Palico. "You sign it on your blood, then cover your hand in a bit of it and mark it besides your name."

Artemis raised her eyebrow but did as told, cutting her hand with a hunting knife and writing her name and making a handprint with ichor. Then followed Naruto's instructions and summoned her own Palico.

It was pure white, and her tail had some turns making it lightning-shaped. She also had a black paw print mark on her chest.

"Selene?" Naruto asked.

The already-named Selene looked at Naruto and raised her hand in compliment, but soon looked back at Artemis.

Artemis herself was holding herself back from smirking. Really, her Palico is named Selene of all names.

"Ah right, Selene this is Artemis, your new summoner. Artemis, this is Selene. She is a bit inexperienced, but everyone is at the beginning.

Do you mind holding back until I can go with you before leaving for the Hunting Grounds? I'd like to introduce you to my friends."

"No problem. So, anything more you'd like to talk about?"

Artemis saw Naruto struggling to remain calm.

"I'd like to know about my other parents," he finally asked.

IIIII

Naruto was quiet. Artemis had left for a bit, and he was thinking about what he learned.

His father was the Fourth Hokage. He put the Kyubi inside him not because he was an orphan, or because he had just been born, but because he was his orphan.

His mother was the Hot Red Habanero, and, more importantly, the previous host of the Kyubi. And… the only way for the Kyubi to be in him was if she had died, since losing it would have killed her…

Which meant that the Kyubi did not just attack the village, but was released there. Artemis doubted it escaped during his birth since his mom had her blessing, so it was enemy action.

A knock on the door. Naruto asked them to enter, but soon regreted it. It was Tsunade with Jiraiya.

"Look, before you say anything," Tsunade interrupted him before he even opened his mouth, "we already know you'll probably be going to that camp. This is not to try to change your mind.

This is because you deserve an explanation, and Jiraiya will give you one whether he like it or not."

Put on the spot, the man breathed deeply.

"I am a completely irresponsible person and I know it, so I dumped you in sensei's lap under the excuse that he would be a better caretaker for you than I could ever be. I soon regretted it, but I was too ashamed of facing you after doing that. That's why I made the whole 'defeating your trainer and convince you to ask me for training' thing, I could not in good conscience just turn to you and admit my faults.

I know I got no right to call myself your godfather. I just hope that, someday, you could give me a chance to redeem myself."

Naruto didn't say something for a bit, letting Jiraiya fill himself with dread.

"I am not sure how long I will stay at the camp," he finally said. "If by the time it is over I already forgave you, then I will be able to stay with you until the camp's next turn.

If I do go to train with you, as long as I want to I'll go back to the camp as soon as it opens for the year. This is non-negotiable."

Jiraiya just nodded. That went better than he hoped.

IIIII

The following week Naruto was finally released from the hospital, but there was still a week before the camp was open for the summer.

Thus, he took Artemis on a tour through the Hunting Grounds.

She, they figured out as soon as they arrived, could use her divine powers there, even stronger than usual even… but it woud not be as satisfying to hunt using them here.

First things first, he took her to meet his friends of the Capital C caravan. The Caravaneer quickly warmed up to her, telling her of the tale when Naruto risked his life to rescue his hat. He gave her the nickname of Friendly Archer after she told him her specialty.
The Man and Little Miss Forge, being the first ones of their kind she met, were seen with curiosity, but the respected she showed for their art (of making equipment from monster remains for huntin more powerful monsters) got her a rare smile from the quiet wyverian.
The Guildmarm and the Wycoon made her take a step back though. The girl was a little too taken with the monsters for her tastes, and the smaller wyverian gave a vibe that he should not be crossed. He seemed trustworthy as long as it was business-related though, seemed that it was his point of pride.
The cook completed the team. A Chinese-speaking cat… and he cooked great to boot!

But the second step was to register herself in the Hunters' Guild… and, as much as she was talented (she was the Goddess of the Hunt) she began on the bottom step of the ladder.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll prove yourself soon and go from rank 1 to G-rank 3 in a flash!"

"I have no idea what a G-rank is yet, but thanks…

It's no problem," she declared after a bit. "I am a bit too used to being considered the best hunter, but now I'll have challenges and a competition. I'll just have to shown them what I am really made of and… is that hunter using a Japanese schoolgirl uniform as armor?"

"I… have no idea what that is, but high-level hunters are as eccentric as high-level ninjas so just… pretend it never happened, ok?"

Artemis just sighed as she passed a hunter with a Palico dressed as Super Mario…

IIIII

As Naruto predicted, Artemis just flew throught the ranks on that week. Soon she would surpass him, not that he was feeling any inferior since she was the Goddess of Hunting.

Some situations were just bizarre though…

"You can't kill it! It is a capture mission!" Naruto said, trying his best to hold back an Artemis that was almost using her divine powers.

"That thing farted on me!"

"That thing is a Congalala. It farts on everyone!"

IIIII

But by the end of the week they returned to Konoha happy. But also a bit apprehensive.

Naruto was going to leave the following day.

The next morning, he went everywhere looking for his friends. He just couldn't find them…

It was a sad Naruto that went to the village gates with Artemis.

It was a tearful but happy Naruto that went through them, after saying goodbye to everyone that had been at the gates just waiting for him.

Now on the road, though, Artemis had to have a talk she had been dreading for a while.

"Naruto, about the camp…"

"I know, you won't be able to be with me, right?"

Artemis nodded.

"I'd also like you to pretend you don't know you are related to me yet."

He stopped and looked at her, confused.

"You are the closest thing to a child of my own I ever had. And since I swore myself to remain chaste, every other one I'll ever have will be like you too."

"And since you swore to remain chaste and no one else was born with just a divine third, people would think I'm either a liar or special and may resent me?"

"Well, yes. That and… I have a group of followers that I train myself, but with two exceptions they have always been female, and have to remain chaste. Since you wish to have a family someday, you can't join us.
And… let's just say they are not well-liked by the campers. They sort of have a rivalry."

Naruto nodded.

"Oh, one more thing. There they speak another language, so you'll need to wear this pendant my sister made for me. It should let you understand and speak any language and learn it to use even without it after a while. The fox shape was supposed to be a joke about your mother…"

"I understand. Don't worry, now I know that the fox is a link I have with her."

Artemis nodded.

"I also asked Hephaestus to make these for you after finding out you had The Man make your weapons from monster remains. When you activate them, any weapon you are holding becomes imbued with your divine energy and become the same as if made of Celestial Bronze, making them more efficient against monsters from there but also make mortals unable to be hurt by them."

"Wait, how does this work?"

"Monsters there are supernatural beings, unlike the ones of the Hunting Grounds. Celestial Bronze only affects the supernatural. That's why it is so strong against monsters, gods and demigods, but does not affect mortals."

Naruto nodded.

"I will leave you at the entrance to the camp. Do your best… Doodle."

"I will… Temie," he answered with a grin.

And thus they separated, Artemis going back to her Hunters, and Naruto going to meet the Camp Half-Blood, and his new destiny.
