ITALICS = THOUGHTS

Yo. Sorry about not uploading, but I was pretty lazy and slacking. It's a little short this time, but I'll try to upload another in the upcoming two weeks or so. Hopefully. Enjoy!

CHAPTER 9

Previously…

"Dammm. They showed that guard" whistled Naruto, earning a giggle from Persephone and snort from Hades.

Looking at the screen and seeing the three going up the elevator, Naruto smiled, and further hugged Persephone's legs, lightly caressing it, earning a shiver from the goddess. He knows that Annabeth will mention his name during the meeting because of being a child of Athena and wonders how they will react from his name.

He can't wait to show himself in front of them again.

Present…

600th Floor, Olympus…

*Ding*

The elevator doors opened and Grover, Annabeth, and Percy stepped out.

"Wow…" said Percy as he took in the sight of the beautiful scene in front of him. Blue sky could be seen for as far as the eye could take him and the marble floors, white pillars and beautiful white temples surrounded him. All Percy could do was stare in amazement.

Giggling, Annabeth dragged Percy to the direction of the throne room.

"Every demigod has that reaction when they first enter Olympus. It really is a beautiful place to be in and designed by my mother herself" said Annabeth, puffing her chest out in pride with the mention of her mother.

"Leeettts just get this over with and return the bolt back to Lorrd Zeus" whined Grover as he was eating all of his aluminum cans he stored in his bag. Meeting with the King of Olympus with such an important task was making Grover very nervous.

Breaking out of his stupor, Percy nodded his head and followed Annabeth to the throne room, which was the largest building in all of Olympus, sat in the heart of it.

Reaching the doors to the throne room, the three teens took a deep breath and after nodding to each other, pushed the large white doors opened where the Olympians resided for their return.

Just as they opened the doors, the throne room suddenly became very quiet, as 12 Olympians (Ares still unconscious and in his temple) looked towards the door to see who opened them.

Percy, who never saw any of the Olympians before looked around and remembered from Chiron's lecture about the U-shaped council, with Zeus in the middle.

Zeus, sitting in the middle is a handsome god, dressed in a striped tuxedo with a red tie with dark gray/silver hair reaching the back of his shoulders and his beard prevented his neck from being shown. The tuxedo is a snug fit that complimented his bulky form, giving off a regal sensation.

Hera, who is on his left is a stunning goddess with beautiful black hair that reached the small of her back, striking black eyes, and a beautiful pale complexion. She is dressed in a white toga that strained against her large bust (DD bust) and hugged her large hips. Over her is a beautiful cape made out of peacock feathers, representing her symbol.

Demeter, who sat left of Hera, is another gorgeous goddess with breathtaking golden hair that reached down to her hips and striking hazel eyes. She is currently wearing a bright green dress that showed the top portion of her large breasts (DD bust) , followed with a dark cape.

Dionysus, sitting to the left of Demeter is a chubby faced god with a red nose and black curly hair. He is currently wearing a leopard print shirt with shorts and running shoes, making it seem like he came from a trailer park or was homeless.

Athena, following the pattern sat to the left of Demeter. She has a beautiful shade of brown hair that flows just below her shoulders and has storm-grey eyes that were full of energy. She is currently wearing a long white dress that hugged her curves (CC bust).

Artemis, who sat at the end of the left half of the council has shoulder length raven-black hair and striking silver-grey eyes that enhanced her divine features. Currently, she is also wearing a long white dress, like Athena accentuated her curves (D bust) that made her look breathtaking.

Poseidon, sitting at Zeus's right is a handsome god with black hair, a neatly trimmed beard, deep tan, and powerful sea-green eyes. Currently he sported a Tommy Bahama shirt with coconuts and parrots displayed on the shirt, khaki Bermuda shorts, and leather sandals.

Ares, who sat to the right of Poseidon was absent due to the fight with Naruto a couple hours before.

Aphrodite, who sat to the right of Ares is the most beautiful goddess on Olympus, capable of changing her form to bring the utmost satisfaction to the being directed towards. Currently, her form on Olympus is beautiful golden locks that was neatly put into a bun with a golden crown resting on her head. She wore a white dress that strained against her bust (F bust) and a golden pendant with a beautiful sapphire resting in between her mounds

Hephaestus, following the trend is a huge god with shoulders at different heights, misshapen head, bushy eyebrows, a wild brown beard and his leg in a steel brace. However, he is also very muscular from always working in the forges.

Apollo, following the trend is an extremely handsome god, with bright blond hair, bright blue eyes, and a bronzed complexion. His figure is enhanced with him wearing a Greek robe lined with gold.

Hermes, sitting at the end of the right half of the council, has an athletic, slim figure with curly black hair, blue eyes, and elfish features. He is currently wearing a white toga and winged shoes.

(I got a lot of this information from the percy jackson fandom page and I also suck with describing appearances.)

As Percy was looking at each God, Annabeth nudged him to get him back to reality and slightly pushed him to move foward. Annabeth and Grover quickly took a knee and bowed their heads low, with Percy looking on confused until he saw the glare Annabeth sent his way.

"Kneel down and bow before Lord Zeus!" quietly hissed Annabeth. Percy quickly followed her commands and kneeled on one knee beside her and Grover.

"Lord Zeus. We have returned from the mission to retrieve the Master Bolt and have obtained it successfully" said Annabeth. A beautiful goddess with silvery gray hair and streaks of golden smiled at Annabeth.

"Rise" said Zeus. The three rose and stood up to look at the god before them who had silver hair, a silver beard and a figure that exuded authority and dominance. Zeus held out his hand and Percy, who left the bolt in his bag took it out and extended his hand out. The bolt quickly flew over to Zeus's hand, who proceeded to inspect the bolt that was in the tube. He made the bolt disappear and looked back towards the two demigods and one satyr.

"You three have done a great deed towards Olympus and I will proceed to reward you with your lives. Even if one of you are Poseidon spawn" said Zeus, muttering the last sentence at the end and directed his glare towards Percy, who flinched at it. The rest of the gods rolled their eyes at the "reward". Zeus and his paranoia at its finest.

"Peace brother. After all, my son did after all retrieved your bolt. So you should be thankful to him, and to extent me as well." said a man with black hair with a crown on top, brown beard, and a hawaiian shirt with beach themed shorts. This man is Poseidon, Rule of the Sea and part of the Big Three, along with Zeus and Hades. (Sorry for my horrible description of the greek gods.)

Zeus sent a glare towards Poseidon, who in turn gave him a smug grin, before turning back to the three. "Very well. Tell us what happened during your quest." With that, Annabeth proceeded to tell the entire story about their journey.

As Annabeth talked about how Kronos could've been involved and Percy voicing his dreams, Annabeth suddenly remembered that she didn't include any parts that included the strange blond haired man that appeared before them during their confrontation with Hades and with Ares.

"If I may Lord Zeus. may I ask my mother a question?" asked Annabeth. Zeus nodded his head with approval, causing Annabeth to turn towards Athena.

"Mother. Do you by any chance know a person named Naruto?"

When Naruto's name was mentioned, all the eyes of the Olympians grew wide, shocked by what she said. Annabeth, Percy, and Grover were bewildered as to why the gods looked so shocked by the mention of the blonde.

"Annabeth dear. Where did you hear that name from?" said Athena gently, but her body expression said otherwise, as she was shaking slightly, be it of fear or excitement was unknown to Annabeth.

"When we were in Hades Palace, a blond haired man named Naruto suddenly appeared before us and somehow managed to convince Hades to let us leave the Underworld to find his missing helm. He even insured that Percy's mom would be safe." At the mention of Sally, both Percy and Poseidon silently thanked the blond for saving her from death.

"Also, when Ares was about to transform into his divine form, Naruto suddenly appeared again and prevented him from doing so. Ares was also knocked out unconscious as a result. When I asked him who he was, all he said was to ask you" finished Annabeth, as drew took in a breath and looked straight into her mother's eyes for an answer.

Athena's eyes slightly watered before quickly wiping them away and smiled at her daughter for bringing it up with her. After the blonde idiot disappeared without a trace for a decade, she couldn't come to terms that he simply died. He was too smart to die too soon and too powerful as well. Her eyes slightly narrowed at the other factor for Naruto leaving and it had to do with her paranoid father, as most things do.

Zeus narrowed his eyes at the prospect of the blonde appearing again and cleared his throat to garner the attention of the council as they were all too engrossed in conversation about Naruto coming back.

"Ahem. If what the girl said is true, then it seems that Naruto is coming back, but I will not allow him to come back. For all we know he could be plotting with Kronos against us to bring Olympus to ruin"

"That's absurd Zeus and you know it!" shouted Hera as she glared at Zeus for his idiotic response.

All the other gods, except Dionysus (who didn't care about the topic) nodded their heads in agreement with Hera. Zeus's paranoia is something that became infamous and ruined many promising prospects for Olympus and the topic concerning Naruto had been one of the most outrageous things to happen.

Poseidon was prepared for Zeus to say something like that and made a proposal that he knew would get passed immediately and if Zeus tried to retaliate against, then he was sure the entire council would be against him.

"Brother. Frankly I don't understand why you're so against Naruto stepping foot on Olympus as he had never done anything negative for Olympus and he had helped so many times. I say we vote on the matter on whether or not Naruto is allowed to be on Olympus."

"No! I am Rule of Olympus and what I say-" before Zeus could finish his sentence, Poseidon, Hera, and Demeter stood from their thrones and summoned their respective powers and aimed it at Zeus.

"Zeus" calmly stated Poseidon. "We will vote on this matter and if you disagree on voting, then we will gladly end your reign as ruler of Olympus. The reason why we have tolerated your paranoia was because we simply didn't want to handle the problems after, but after your decision with Naruto, we all agreed that this has gone on for too long. You will either agree with voting or you won't have to worry about being King anymore"

Annabeth, Percy, and Grover were staring at the scene in shock because they never expected the other Gods to gang up on Zeus and put him in his place. Percy was shocked that a fight could break out, but Annabeth and Grover never expected that Zeus's paranoia caused something that created a rift in the council.

Thinking back to what she just said, Annabeth, with her Athena brain was going through the history that she remembered and tried to find it in her about any mention of Naruto. However, she couldn't recall any mention of him and name in general. Was this person only known to the Gods and closed off from the demigods? Was he friend or foe judging from the reactions of the Gods.

'He did save us and helped our quest. Mom also seemed to be happy when I mentioned his name and so did the rest of the Gods in general, except for Zeus and Dionysus. But, I guess that should be expected from the two of them' thought Annabeth as she continued to watch the scene before her.

Glaring at Poseidon, Hera, and Demeter, Zeus eventually relented seeing that the three of them would not back down from this decision and he quickly looked past them to see that none of the other gods/goddesses were going to do anything about it.

"Fine" growled Zeus as the three went back to their respective thrones to wait for the upcoming vote. "We will now take a vote on the matter of allowing Naruto Uzumaki to be allowed to set foot on Olympus. Raise your hands if you agree he should be allowed."

10 out of the 12 gods and goddesses raised their hands in favor, with the two exceptions being Dionysus and Zeus. Dionysus didn't care for the matter and was just sleeping through the topic and Zeus, with his paranoia didn't want Naruto back.

Looking at the rest of the council, Zeus glared at the rest of the Olympians and gave out his judgement.

"Based on the council decision, Naruto will be allowed to step back on Olympus, until he does something wrong." angrily said Zeus before he quickly flashed out. The rest of the council, save for Dionysus (who flashed out as well) stayed behind and were now discussing ways to track down Naruto.

"Wow. That was some crazy" said Percy as he saw his dad shrink into mortal size and was walking towards him.

"Percy. Thank goodness you are okay. I'm glad that you were able to retrieve Zeus's Master bolt, even though it was unlikely that you were the thief in the first place."

Poseidon quickly brought Percy into a hug, happy that Percy was okay.

Smiling, Percy returned the hug. With his ADHD, Percy was still taking in the information that was just said a few moments ago and voiced out his thoughts to his dad, hoping that answers would be given to him.

Pulling away after a few seconds, Percy asked what was on his mind.

"Dad. Who exactly is this Naruto guy. I mean it's thanks to him that we were able to retrieve the master bolt and all that but, I never heard about him from the lectures that Chiron gave back in school and in camp. He must be someone important to also cause what just happened before as well."

Grover, who was by his side nodded his head hoping to find some answers on the mysterious blonde, and Annabeth who was still in thought, quickly turned her head towards the three at the mention of Naruto.

"Yes lord Poseidon, who exactly is Naruto and how does he know all of you? What was this banishment that Zeus was talking about and why were the rest of the gods so against banishing Naruto? How come I've never heard of him in the textbooks?" said Annabeth in a rapid manner. All these questions were going through her mind and she needed answers.

Meanwhile, the rest of the gods stopped their chatting and quieted down as Annabeth was talking and they all shrunk down to their mortal forms to walk towards the four. Hestia, who was tending the fire, also walked over to them, quietly grabbing something that was in her sleeve.

"Annabeth, my dear. Slow down the questions. All will be explained in due time" chuckled Hestia as she walked towards the four, the rest of the gods chuckling at the daughter of Athena, used to the action from said goddess herself when curious.

As the rest of the gods/goddesses made their way, Poseidon nodded his head towards Hestia to explain to the three, who nodded back, used to doing so.

"I will keep it short and simple, as doing so will allow you three to process the information as best as possible without taking too much time and don't worry, all of your questions will be answered during my explanation as well" said Hestia, as Annabeth, Percy, and Grover nodded their heads.

"We have known Naruto for a little of a century and we met him the first time when Artemis called a council meeting with him in tow. She had met him in the forest in upstate New York and fought with him because of him being an unknown entity at the time. Artemis, from what she said got overpowered by Naruto after a while of them fighting and eventually surrendered, seeing that Naruto also did not want the fight to continue."

"Lil' sis was probably getting toyed with by Naruto. I remember that day well when she had a look of defeat." chimed Apollo, only to get a punch in the stomach courtesy of Artemis.

"SHUT UP Apollo! And I'm not your little sister! I was born earlier than you!" shouted Artemis.

"You did not deny it though" added Hermes, only to get a glare from Artemis and a few chuckles from the other gods/goddesses.

"Continuing on" smiled Hestia

"When Naruto showed up, as usual, Zeus was paranoid about whether Naruto was friend or foe and wanted to kill him, but surprisingly, Artemis came to his defense and proposed that he was indeed not an enemy, but merely a neutral party."

"Who knew that Artemis, legendary man hater, would opt to keep a male alive." added Apollo, only to get another punch in the stomach, causing him to fall to ground, groaning from the pain.

"He could've killed me when we were fighting at the time, but instead chose to let me live. Fighting is also the best way to determine if the person is friend or foe and when we fought, Naruto had no intention to kill me, but merely wanted to pass by. He was even thinking about ramen when we fought" said Artermis, muttering the last part at the end.

"Ramen is his favorite food after all" mused Hera, smiling slightly remembering the times she made ramen for him.

"I'm jealous that he loves yours, Rhea's, and Hestia's ramen the best. Ramen is so difficult to make" muttered Aphrodite. All the times she tried to make ramen for Naruto always ended up in a disaster. Even though Naruto always ate all the 'ramen' she made for him and told her it was delicious, she knew that it wasn't good, having tasted it herself.

"I can give you tips on how to make ramen later Aphrodite. I'm sure Hera is also willing to help" said Hestia, getting a nod from Hera. Over the last century, with the presence of Naruto, Hera had been increasingly kind towards the other gods/goddesses, making bonds towards the goddesses especially. Must've been the divorce with Zeus that helped.

Coughing slightly, Hestia gave a look towards the gods/goddesses, silently telling them not to interrupt anymore.

"Now, hopefully we get no more interruptions so we can finish this."

"Zeus listened to Artemis and told her to keep an eye on him to make sure that he didn't do anything suspicious that would threaten Olympus. As time went on, Naruto really integrated well with us and even conquered the hearts of many women"

Hestia's end comment caused the rest of the goddesses in the room to blush at the implication.

"Approximately a decade ago, Hera ended her marriage with Zeus, having enough of him cheating on her, and Zeus suspected that Hera broke up with him because of Naruto. After all, being around Naruto for 90 years caused Hera to stop being with Zeus and she opted to be around Naruto more."

Annabeth looked at Hera, who blushing and telling Hestia that the information didn't need to be shared, in awe because everyone in camp felt and saw the thunderstorms that were happening throughout the world. All the demigods knew that Zeus was mad about something, but the reason being was unknown to all of them, since the information was not shared to them.

'So Hera divorced Zeus because of Naruto. What kind of person is Naruto to have that sort of affect on the Goddess of Marriage herself? Hestia also said that he conquered the hearts of women, meaning that the other goddesses also fell in love with him as well.' thought Annabeth as she grew more and more curious about Naruto and wanted to know more about him.

"Ahem. Anyways, moving on." chuckled Hestia. "Zeus immediately summoned the council for a meeting after the divorce and told Artemis to get Naruto. Naturally, everyone in the council was curious as to why Zeus called such an unexpected meeting seething with uncontrolled rage. It was more confusing since, Hera, who usually comforted Zeus, didn't even do so and instead opted to leave her eyes closed, as calm as ever.

"After Naruto was promptly summoned, looking confused, Zeus promptly told Naruto that he was banished from Olympus, causing an uproar to happen in the council. Naruto himself was shocked about the decision, but promptly kept a straight face as Zeus silenced the council, saying that his decision was final."

"Before any of the gods/goddesses could further object, Naruto decided to speak and said that he was going to leave, shocking a lot of us. Most of us thought he was joking about leaving, but Naruto just said that he would see all of us in a few years and just left. And it has been over 10 years since we last heard of him."

"And to answer your last question Annabeth, it only has been a century since we met him, and he was only known to the gods on Olympus, so we never really saw it fit to mention him to the other demigods. I hope that answers all your questions" finished Hestia. Annabeth slowly nodded her head, processing the information at a rapid speed.

Maybe she was tired, but Annabeth was getting a headache from all this information and blamed it on the lack of sleep. Looking at Percy and Grover, she noticed that the two of them also had trouble processing the information, be it of sleep or lack of understanding, she didn't care.

Softly, Hestia continued. "Now, you three must be tired from going across the country and back to retrieve the Master Bolt. I'll teleport you three heroes back to camp so you can all rest"

The three of them nodded their heads, all in need of a good, long sleep and allowed themselves to be teleported back to camp.

Arriving back in the throne room, Hestia was satisfied that none of the gods/goddesses left after the explanation.

"Now, we don't have to worry about having to find Naruto. I have a way that will make him come to us." said Hestia, earning shocked looks from all of them.

"How?" questioned all the gods/goddesses.

Reaching in her sleeve, Hestia took out a Kunai that had a fiery ribbon attached to it.

"A kunai? How will that make Naruto appear?" questioned Athena. She knew that after spending time with Naruto that he was a former ninja, but what did a ninja tool have to do with bringing him back.

"Remember when Naruto left and he all left gifts in each of your temples?" stated Hestia, earning slow nods from the gods.

Poseidon got a scroll that contained over 50 sets of tropical clothing, which he was more than happy to try out and wear. He needed more tropical outfits anyways.

Hera got a beautiful pendant that was layered with seals that prevented it from ever being lost and also protected her from harm. She always wore it no matter the occasion, treasuring it deeply, and it seemed that only when she wore it would the effects happen.

Demeter got a beautiful golden ring that allowed her to summon any farming tool she could imagine. It proved to be very effective in harvesting her crops, seemingly increasing the taste of her crops. Like Hera's pendant, the ring could never be lost and only worked when she was using it.

Hephaestus got a scroll that contained a ten thousand clones of Naruto that were more than capable to help him in the forges. It was greatly needed at the time since the cyclops that he contracted from Poseidon all expired, and all of them were needed in Poseidon's forges afterwards, causing him to be short on workers.

Athena got a silver-gray bracelet (which also matched her eyes) that contained scrolls, containing some information about Naruto's past, which she was more than eager to decipher and figure out more about it. The bracelet also served as a portable storage unit that could keep a lot of books and other items she saw fit. Like the other two goddesses, the bracelet was sealed so that it could never be lost and she was the only one that could access it.

Aphrodite got a gold lined ring that had a beautiful diamond resting on top of it. Like Hera's pendant, the properties were the same as hers, and it also symbolized all the memories she had with Naruto. Naruto was an incredible romantic after all and it was the only piece of jewelry that she always wore.

Apollo got the full series of Icha Icha, something which he greatly enjoyed reading. The series was a perverts dream after all.

Hermes got new winged boots that further enhanced his speed, allowing him to deliver messages at an even faster pace. He was happily surprised by how efficient the boots were and the increase in speed was something that he hadn't expected but appreciated.

Artemis got a silver lined ring that could be transformed into a beautifully crafted silver bow that increased the power of her abilities when used at night, when her power was at its strongest. The ring/bow would always return to her as well. Naruto also left a pair of silver hunting knives that would instantly turn go through enemies and would turn them into dust when channeling a bit of her power into them. Like the rin/bow, the knives would always return back to her.

"A lot of your items that he left you had some properties from the seals that put in them and this kunai is no exception. Naruto entrusted me with this kunai that would allow him to teleport to me directly if I was ever in need of help. It is an item, according to him, that could never be broken no matter the amount of uses, so he entrusted me with it. Naruto knew that if he left it with any of you ladies, you would instantly use it to your advantage and constantly summon him" explained Hestia.

The rest of the goddesses blushed and were embarrassed at what she said at the end because of how true it was. Most if not all of them would use it for their personal gains.

"So, with him being back and all, I figured that now would be the perfect time to summon him." smiled Hestia. She, like the rest of them were eager to see him again, as he was sorely missed by her during the past decade.

Throwing the kunai on the ground, nothing happened for a few seconds, seemingly make it look like the kunai didn't work, until a body appeared shortly after.

Looking at their happy faces, Naruto picked up the kunai under him and grinned at the beings in in front of him.

"Yo!" grinned Naruto, before he was promptly tackled by all the goddesses and gods, with Hestia smiling warmly at the scene in front of her. It was great to see someone she considered family to come back.

Thanks so much for reading this chapter everyone. I suck at descriptions, I know. It was a little short, but I just wanted to use this chapter as sort of an introduction to all the Olympians and the back story that they have with Naruto. This chapter was me getting back into the swing of things with writing more fanfic and all that fun stuff.

Maybe I'll make another fanfic strictly on the Percy Jackson Universe. Reading Percy fanfics are always a pleasure and I greatly enjoy them.

Anyways, thanks again for reading and I'll try to update soon. No promises.
