#0 Hi, I'm not really proud of the spelling and grammar in this chapter right now. But I really wanted to publish this chapter today. I will rewrite/correct some errors in the near future. Have fun!

IV Summer Camp Fun!

Naruto was up early, well to be correct he was still awake. He always possessed more energy than anyone and could do with almost no sleep for his whole life, thanks to the Kyubi, but now with the Jubi sealed inside him it seemed that he didn't need to refill his energy reserves at all. The only advantage sleep still would give him was the relaxation of his mind, a thing he could achieve with mediation nowadays. Therefore, after exploring the surrounding of the camp and some mediation at the shore, Naruto quickly went into the Hermes cabin to wash up and get dressed in the usual Camp Half-Blood attire. He was already fond of his new clothes because they had the same orange his jumpsuit had.
The sun had barely shown when he was ready to start his usual morning training, normally he would do laps and all kind of other exercises while wearing resistance seals. Kakashi had given him those seals soon after he had become a Genin, and they had been a great help for the blonde to increase both his speed and strength. Unfortunately, every seal that had been on Naruto's body had been removed when crossing the dimensional border and it would take nearly 10 hours to apply the seals again. So instead of using resistance seals he chose to carry a large boulder, he had found, around, and after doing some warm-up stretches, he began his laps around the camp while carrying the massive rock.

After sometime he saw Chiron coming out of the Big House
"Already up Naruto?", asked the Centaur
"No, don't really need sleep.", the blonde said stopping before the Centaur, but instead of resting for a moment, he began to make push-ups with the boulder now on his back.
"I guess that is a shinobi thing?", Chiron asked, "But why the boulder I must ask."
"Yeah, partially, and normally I use seals that work more like regular weights, but it will take sometime to apply them," he said between push-ups, "And I really don't want to slack off, especially with a new war on the horizon"

Chiron merely nodded a left the blonde to his training. The identical thing happened a few more times with various campers that were passing him, before he finished his training and proceeded to the Hermes Cabin again.

It was an odd scene Percy walked into when he was entering the mess hall to eat breakfast, most of the campers that were already awake were here, but they weren't eating like one would thing, but rather staring at the blonde shinobi. Said ninja was currently doing a bad impression of a moon walk, while singing a Michael Jackson song along. Every hope the Apollo campers still had left that Naruto may have been their brother had been utterly crushed, his singing, if it even could be considered such, was worse than the screeching some of Hephaestus' machines did. But the oddest thing was that he was doing all this, while walking on the celling and without a care for his audience.
"Weird!" was the sole thing Percy said before sitting down at his table.

It was a relatively ordinary breakfast after Naruto had stopped dancing, and Percy alongside Naruto set of to do the first activity for the day. To Percy's joy today was a canoeing race, something he always seemed to be the best at.
True to Percy's supposition, he really was better at canoeing than Naruto. Like in the First Aid lesson, the blonde seemed to be helplessly lost.

Clarisse, who was participating, took notice of this and circled around the blonde while giving him nasty comments. After a few minutes, when everyone was the starting line, they began the race and Percy quickly settled into first place with most of the campers behind them at nearly the same height. Naruto didn't seem to move forward and after everyone was nearly half-way done while he still was at the starting line and on top of that felt into the water, he started to water walk or better run to the finishing line. This again got some stares from the campers watching on the shore, one even cried "HE IS THE MESIAHS!", and thanks to his chakra control exercises he was able to finish the race in second place just moment after he had begun running.

Back on the shore Chiron was praising Percy on his 34th win in a row at the canoeing competition, when he suddenly started laughing at the astonished campers. After Naruto had been at the beach again, he swiftly took off his shirt to dry it from falling into the water. That got some predatory looks from different girls and even some boys, but all of them were quickly stopped when they saw the massive scare right above his heart.

Percy, still in shock about the scar that undoubtfully came from a wound that would be lethal to nearly everybody, voiced the question everyone had, "Naruto? I thought you said that you didn't scare. What can cause something like… that?", Percy voice was weak, the shock clearly hearable.
The blonde shinobi looked down at the scar sadly thinking about how Sasuke had rammed an assassination technique through his heart. He thought, that, if he would ever tell this story, right now was definitively not the time and said to the campers that he would tell him sometimes else.

Percy and Annabeth next had another first aid lesson, something Naruto chose to stay away from. Instead, he opted for meditating some more and try to enter Sage Mode in this different dimension.
Since he had come here, he had felt that nature was weaker. There was far less Natural Energy around him than in the Elemental Nations, something he blamed on the decreasing wildness. To his astonishment, he could somehow enter Sage Mode and remain it up for a far longer time. Sadly this came at the cost of his raw speed and strength.

When the conch horn was blown and the campers made their way into the pavilion, they were bewildered at the crowd of Satyrs that had gathered around the blonde shinobi.
"Hey what's up G-Man? "asked Percy his friend that was eyeing Naruto as if he was a beautiful piece of art.

"Naruto, he is… so in harmony with nature. It's like he is a son of Pan. He is so cool!", Grover informed the campers with stars in his eye and got mutters of agreements from the other Satyrs and Nature Spirits.

The young ninja gathered a deep breath and opened his eyes, the mark around them disappearing.
"Ah, Thanks but I'm pretty sure that I'm not Pan's son. This was merely me gathering Natural Energy, through I must say that the lack of nature on this planet saddens me."

That got all of the Satyrs nod in agreement, "What is Natural Energy?", one of the Nymphs asked.
"Ah, a good question. You see like most humans in my world have Chakra from the God Tree, the Nature possesses a similar energy, called Natural Energy. Some of the strongest summoning Clans, like the Toads, were able to develop Techniques to gather and use Natural Energy as Nature Chakra, called Senjutsu. Senjutsu allow the user to increase his strength and speed, along with some special Techniques unique to Sages."

"And the Toads taught you how to gather Natural Energy?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be a Sage."

"You are a Sage? But don't you need to be, like super old and stuff?", asked Percy.

"Hm, I'm not quite sure about your definition, but in my world Sages were mostly people that could use a special form of Chakra, like Nature or the special Chakra of the Sage of Six Paths.

The campers and Hunters were astonished by this and kept asking questions, that Naruto told them to ask again in the evening. They quickly settled down and started eating, and shortly after completing his meal Naruto got up to go to the arena and try how his Genjutsu worked here, something he had neglected until now.

o0o0o

In the arena, Naruto stood opposite of Thalia, who had agree to be a test subject for his Genjutsu.
"How do you think this will work? "asked Chiron who stood at the side-line.

"Hm, I'm not quite sure. Some people suspect that Genjutsu interferes with the Chakra Network of the target, causing them to see, hear or smell things that doesn't exist. But the existence of Sound based Genjutsu, has consistently been a problem in this theory. The problem is that in the elemental Nation everyone has a Chakra network, so nobody could ever prove or disprove the theory", Naruto complemented.

"Well, better test it out." suggested Thalia and got in a ready position.

"Ok, try to break out Thalia, normally you would need to disrupt your chakra flow, but pain outside the Genjutsu should also do the job." Naruto said before performing the necessary hand-seals for his Illusion " Genjutsu: Shibari (Illusionary Technique: Binding)"

The Illusion seemed to work, because Thalia arms suddenly snapped to her side as if she was bound.

After a few moments she had freed herself and started at Naruto "And?"

"I tried to disrupt …something, but that didn't work, so I bit in my cheek and suddenly was free, It was a lot like the mist."

"Hm, interesting. It seems like your Genjutsu work. But I must ask, can your Illusions cause physical harm or is it just physical?"

"The better the Technique, the stronger the pain. But even the strongest Genjutsu I know if can't cause real bodily harm. The most far the physical pain goes is the phantom pain that is like the one that people with amputation experience. But it seems you require less pain to break free, may I try a higher level Technique?", the blonde asked Thalia and received a nod in respond.

"Genjutsu: Kuruyume (Illusionary Technique: Black Dream)", the Technique took hold and it took noticeably longer for Thalia to break free this time. She told the shinobi that she was too paralysed from the fear in the beginning to realize that it was an Illusion before trying to break free.

They tested different Genjutsu for another hour, before ending their training after hearing the conch horn. To Naruto's astonishment, it took merely the tiniest bit of pain to break free of every single one of his illusion, something he promised himself to look into in the future

At the evening campfire Naruto once again, was surrounded by a eager crowd, who wanted to hear something about the ninja world. They had settled to hear alongside the Hunter after a commotion about a new room, that appeared in Cabin 8 out of nowhere was settled.

"Hm, so what should I tell you about the Elemental Nation?", asked Naruto into the crowd, just to get and multitude of answers, before deciding to tell them about the shinobi system, something that would be essential if he wanted to tell them further stories."

"With the foundation of the Hidden Villages came many changes to the Shinobi World, the most important probably being that clients could now hire smaller teams of shinobi instead of whole clans, to give each shinobi a measure of strength and value to ranking system were introduced, the first being the military ranking with Genin, Low Ninja, Chunin, Middle Ninja, and Jounin, High Ninja, those three are the main ranks among the shinobi population of each hidden village, it works, with some expectations, like your own military system. The other one was the ranking system based on the fighting skill with rank from E to A and a S-Rank, for … extraordinary Ninja. Typically, the military rank is a good representation of once fighting skill, but that doesn't mean that a Chunin is necessarily stronger than a Genin. E-Rank are usually the level of an untrained civilian, the usually bandits and Samurai are D-Rank, with few C-Ranks.", Naruto explained but stopped when he saw the raised hand of one huntress.

"Yes?", he asked.

"What rank would you think we are?"

Naruto paused for the moment, before swiping his gaze over the crowd, "Considering the inherited reflexes I would rank most of the new campers that have started training this summer as D-Rank, maybe some talented C-Rank. I can't tell who far the more senior campers improve, but from my fight with Percy, your best swordsman, I would judge most of you as C-Rank, with some B-Ranks. I haven't fought any hunters yet, and I have seen only a glimpse from your battle a few days ago, but I'm pretty sure that nearly everyone reaches B-Rank, maybe even some A-Ranks." the explanation was followed by a smug look on the face of the hunters and some murmms from the crowd.

"Is B-Rank strong?", asked Percy

Naruto smiled remembering all the crazy strong S-Rank fighters before answering, "It's certainly above average, mostly Chunin and Special Jounin are ranked that way, and not many reach that level.", he paused for a moment waiting for other questions before continuing, "So after B-Rank comes the A-Rank, ninjas, nearly all Jounin are ranked this way, which means that they are the best of the best, because only 1 of 100 ninjas are considered Jounin. Ordinarily that is were even the best ninjas stop, because no matter how hard they train, they won't reach above this, but a few shinobi are so powerful that normal Jounin are in no way equal to them, they have the power to wipe out armies on their own, some probably could even challenge gods, those are considered S-Rank.", this got the anticipated reaction from everyone present they instantly broke into mutters and started questioning Naruto.

"Armies, really?"
"Is the Hokage a S-Rank ninja?"
"Which was your rank?"

Naruto gave them sometime to calm themselves before starting to answer the question, "Yes, the Hokage, and nearly every other Kage, have always been S-Rank shinobi, and they certainly have the powers to fight armies, the Yondaime ended the third shinobi world on nearly on his own, and became feared in Iwa and was listed as their first SS-Rank shinobi with a flee on sight order. And for my rank," Naruto said before pulling out a Bingo Book and hurling it to the questioner, "You can look for yourself."

The Bingo Book had been a present from Neji. He had found it on a mission in Grass country at the hands of a dead missing-nin. It listed everyone the Akatsuki considered a threat, and the bounties they would pay for them.

Naruto Uzumaki (Namikaze)

Status: Capture Alive
Classification: S-Rank
Alias: Konoha No Ryu (Dragon of Konoha)

That got gobsmacked reactions from everyone, seeing as they realized how strong Naruto most be.

o0o0o

Several days passed by till Friday and it was time for the weekly capture the flag game.
Naruto kept testing his Jutsus for till it was time to eat dinner. Like the previous meals, Naruto remained the centre of the attention, they keep bombarding him with questions. Most of which were simple enough to be answered without further explanation.

When the finished eating and the wood-nymphs had collected the bowls and plates Chiron spoke up, "Heroes, tonight we have our capture the flague game, Team Athena, Team Artemis! Equip yourself!"
When Chiron concluded his speech, armour and weapon appeared in front of the half-bloods and Hunters. They all quickly set out to equip themselves, choosing different type of weapons and armour.

Instead of the offered weapons and armour, Naruto chose to use his own gear, that he had currently sealed away. Merely wearing his black shinobi pants and his shirt, he sat down on the ground and unsealed his whole equipment before him. Instead of unsealing it like usual, so that he would instantly be ready for a fight, he chose to prepare for the fight in a traditional way, like Samurai and some of the veteran Shinobi did. While it also came with the advantage that he could make certain that everything was in a perfect position, there also was the excitement for a fight that was building up in him whenever he was in for a battle. That was something he had picked up a long time ago and while he didn't enjoined killing, the adrenaline rush that always came and the danger was overwhelming for him.

When his gear was unsealed, the first thing he did was to bind his bandages around the end of his pants and his forearms to make sure they sat tight. After the white bandages were in place, he strapped on his white-grey flak west, along some other armoured plate in strategical places. When he had finished putting on his armour, he finally turned towards his blades. The two ninjatos were put on his back, the katana at his right hip and the tanto on his right thigh, the Kunai and shuriken holster on the other side and finally the hunting knife on his leg. When he was finished, he quickly unsealed his bow to check it over and when he was satisfied with the result, he sealed it back and turned around to the other demigods, that gave him a quizzed lock.

"What? Aren't we playing war games?" he asked them.

"Yeah, but isn't that a bit over the top? I mean why would you need so many swords.",

"If I change my Kenjutsu style for an opponent that can't be defeated with my usual style for example." he stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Are they all from Celestial Bronze" an Ares camper asked, Celestial Bronze weapons were quite valuable, to have that many, and that even before coming to the camp was extremely unusual.
"No" Naruto said with a grin, before unsheathing his tanto. "Something far better."
"Divine Silver, how?" asked on of the Hunters. The other agreed and said something about boys desecrate their lady's metal.

o0o0o

The campers settled down and started to put on their gear again while Naruto chose to stand next to Chiron, who was locking at the bickering Annabeth and Percy.

"So, is their a betting pot on when they get together?" asked the blonde
Chiron gave a short chuckled before answering "No that I know of"

"Hm, so what about 15 Drachmen per participant and whoever is the closest to the correct date gets everything?"

Chiron gave him a short lock and considered the offer, before offering a nod and taking out the specified amount of money, "18th August 2008" he merely said and watched Naruto unsealing a scroll, writing down Chiron name next to his date and then a seal were he placed the offered money into. "Hm, let say 22nd March 2008" Naruto guessed before writing down his own name next to his date and took 15 Drachmen of his own and sealed them into the same seal as Chiron's.

The horn of both the Hunt and the Athena Cabin, the present leader of the Campers, and both teams set in the respective parts of the forest.
