Chapter 2
"That's the end of chapter one!" Athena closed the book "so, who want to be next?"
"OH Me, me, me!" Aphrodite squealed and took the book from Athena, she had been readied to start chapter one when Artemis suddenly stood up and brought out her bow and arrow. She put her hunting knife back to its sheath and turned to the Hunters "wait, Artemis dear, where are you going?" Aphrodite have an idea of where Artemis was going to go, but didn't know why she would have to prepared like she was going to the battlefield like that.
"Stop calling me that slut!" Artemis glared at her, making the goddess of love pouted "and it's none of your business!"
"My lady, where are you going?" Zoe stood up and walked to her mistress. Instead of answering her lieutenant, Artemis turned to all the huntresses were looking at her.
"Girls, get ready, we will come to Konoha!" Artemis said sternly much to the shock of everyone.
But before any of them could say anything, a note appeared just above Hermes' head and he caught it without any troubles. Hermes read the note first and looked up to Artemis with a nervous smile
"Uh, sister… The Fate had locked this room to prevent any Olympians especially you and aunt Hestia from going to Konoha!" Hermes immediately felt a shivered ran down his spine at the murderous looked Artemis was giving him.
"Why?" Artemis snapped angrily "Why can't I bring my son here with me?"
"They said you will change the History of Elemental Nation if we bring Naruto here right now!" Hermes read the note while Athena was thinking about it "when they send us this book, we have already change the future because we have know everything before hand, so they can't risk changing another future of another world."
"So, you will have to wait a year Artemis!" Athena said finally.
The goddess of the Hunt looked down at her bow, which she was gripping tightly in her hand. She wanted nothing more than come to Konoha and take her son with her, no matter what happened to her or to that curse village.
Artemis felt a warm hand being put onto her shoulder and turned around to see Hestia was smiling at her
"Don't worry Artemis dear!" Hestia said warmly "Naruto would be fine, we will come to get him next year. I promise"
"I agree my lady" Zoe took a step forward and said seriously "we, your huntresses will be there with you when you came to this Konoha village and we will brought them pain when we're there… to the males as least!"
The other Hunters cheered out loudly for the lieutenant of Artemis, making the goddess of the Hunt smiled to them.
After saying thank you to her mother in law and her sisters, Artemis returned to her throne and waited patiently for the Love Goddess to begin the next chapter.
"What take you so long?" Artemis scolded angrily and turned her head to the Love goddess, unfortunately for Aphrodite, Artemis' patient had gone away with just three seconds, the thought about her son had made her temper shorten.
"What, I can take my time?" Aphrodite while putting mascara on her eyelashes "everyone is going to look at me when I read the book, so I have to be perfect…!" she said without a care, but Artemis instantly appeared in front of her, holding Ares' broad sword in her hand and stabbing the sword right between Aphrodite legs with a murderous glare, her face inching from the love goddess.
"Shut up and start now!" Artemis muttered dangerously, the stabbing force was strong enough to create crater to the throne room's floor. Aphrodite paled immediately and picked the book on her lap up, she was sweating bullet "Good!" Artemis stood up and threw the sword back to Ares and sat down to her throne while the Hunter was cheering out loudly for their mistress.
Aphrodite gulped and started the chapter with a little shaking voice.
Naruto stared outside of the school bus window as the bus made its way down the streets of New York passing the sky scrapers and the people by.
"Stop those sickly sweet voice of yours and read it clearly will you?" Artemis snarled.
"Okay, okay… geez, why so hard!" Aphrodite screamed out and turned back to the book with a huff.
His clothing had changed since he arrived to New York. He decided it was time to hang up the orange but he wore an orange shirt from time to time since he didn't really feel the need to stick out any more. He was currently wearing black jeans with black converses, a white shirt with a picture of a wolf on the front wearing sunglasses with the motto 'I howl for you' at the bottom. Over that he wore a dark green zip up hooded jacket.
"Damn, definitely Artemis' style" Apollo grinned "I'm hoping that Naruto into a punk's style!"
"My son won't wear those!"
Seven months had passed since Naruto had arrived in this new world and it had taken him a long time to get use to the place. On the first day he was nearly hit by a car four times, he had given a waitress a hundred dollar tip much to his embarrassment and waitresses joy, and pulled out a kunai in the middle of Times Square by accident when a car siren when off which startled him greatly.
"Elemental Nation's technology must be really slow compared to us" Annabeth said, she took out her notebook and wrote down everything.
"For someone who didn't get use to the advance world, Naruto sure know how to react!" Athena nodded her head "At least he won't be overwhelm by our world, it could become a heart attack"
After a few weeks of adjusting and learning about this world culture he headed off to the boarding school that his mom had enrolled him in and quickly moved in to one of the dorms. He was surprised to find that he was sharing a dorm with two other boys' which meant he could not practise his jutsu's or chakra control in the room.-
"So, those two boys were you and Grover?" Annabeth turned to her two friends and grinned.
"That's right!" Percy nodded his head while Grover did the same thing.
"I hope you two treat him good, especially you goat boy!" Artemis glared at the satyr. This satyr was very well known among the Hunt who claimed to be her biggest fan and always camped outside of her cabin whenever the Hunt decided to stay at Camp Half-blood for a few days.
-So he had to compromise and at night would make a shadow clone to stay in his bed while he went off for a few hours and train in a deserted forest area.
"Hey that's cheating" Percy said shock "so that's why he always finish his homework?"
"And you didn't?" Athena said mockingly "As expected from Poseidon's child"
"Hey, what's that suppose to mean?" Poseidon glared dangerously as his rival, but Athena had used to that glared pretty much so she didn't seem to be affect much
His control over his chakra had significantly gotten better and could now tree walk and water walk like it was second nature. He focused on the leaf cutting exercise and the rock cutting exercise so he could improve on his wind manipulation.-
"So the boy chakra is wind, it's pretty rare for someone came from Fire Country to have Wind Chakra."
"He's just like Minato" Artemis explained.
-He did that very quickly after he discovered the pro's to Shadow Clones. Since then he practised his wind jutsu's that his mom left for him.
When he joined Yancy academy they quickly discovered that Naruto had a slight learning deficiency and found out he was dyslexic meaning he had difficulty learning things from books and trouble reading since the words would just jumble around in his brain.
All the demigod groaned in understanding.
Not only that but he had ADHD, basically meaning he could not keep still. When he thought about it, it now made sense to why he struggled so much in the academy and why he could never stay in one place for too long. However because of his learning difficulty he was placed in the year two year bellow where he should be since they felt it would be where he was most comfortable at and could help him the most.
The day he moved in to the dorm he quickly befriended the two boys he was sharing with. They were two boys whose names were Percy Jackson and Grover Underwood. Percy was twelve and had black hair and sea green eyes. He was a little shorter than most but then again Naruto had a bit of a growth spurt since he came to this world since he now stood at a respectable five foot four.
"It's must be because of the food he ate" Artemis muttered "I wonder what those village fed him aside from Teuchi's ramen!"
"Eat too much ramen won't be good to your health" Annabeth wrote down to her notebook and then turned to everyone when she saw they were staring at her "What? It's a useful tip!"
"Never mind, wise girl" Percy smirked, typical Athena's children.
Its turned out Percy had Dyslexia and ADHD too which Naruto had admitted it was quite the coincidence. However they both became quick friends since neither liked school all that much and preferred goofing off.
"Respect the education!" Athena said dangerously out making Percy flinched.
"It was really hard when you're a demigod" Percy tried to reason, but Athen still glared at him with heat.
SPLASH!
A cold sea water ball shot out from Poseidon's trident straight to Athena's face, making her yelped out in shock and instantly glared at the Sea God.
"What? I think you need to cool down a bit!" Poseidon smirked. Everyone really wanted to bust out in laughter but afraid to anger the goddess of wisdom.
Then there was Grover Underwood who Naruto had to admit did not look like a twelve year old. He looked the same age as him but Grover just said he had trouble in school and was redoing seventh grade. Naruto didn't think much of it so he just shrugged it off. Grover had Caucasian skin colour with curly short curly brown hair and brown eyes. But unfortunately his legs were crippled when he was little so he had to have crutches to help him walk. Yet that never stopped him when enchilada day came at the school cafeteria. He could not move any quicker.
Not only that but with Naruto heightened sense he swore Grover smelled like a goat while Percy strangely smelled like the ocean. He shrugged it off thinking they were just wearing strange deodorant.
"Artemis's trace, her nose's as sensitive as her wolf" Apollo grinned and crouched down to avoid the arrows coming as his head "Hey, that's the truth you know!"
"So what?" She muttered while pulling out another arrow. Aphrodite quickly continued before Artemis could kill anyone, which included herself in that Huntress' list.
But the three became good friends and since they shared a dorm room together the three were pretty much inseparable. When the found out Naruto didn't have any parents, they sympathised for him and Naruto was even invited over to Percy's for Christmas.
"Thank you Perseus!" Artemis smiled to the young child of Poseidon.
Naruto was quick to make friends with Percy's mom Sally Jackson and she was delighted to see Percy finally make a friend. Though Percy's step father Gabe Ugliano was not too happy about it saying they should not waste money on the punk. But Naruto paid for his stuff and didn't spend any of the Jacksons money much to Gabe's delight.
"Urgh, I smell something disgusting here" Aphrodite winced her nose at the thought of Gabe Uglinao, even his name have the world ugly in it.
Though when Percy asked Grover he just said he already had plans and would see them after Christmas break. They didn't hear from him at all during the break until they returned to Yancy Academy.
Naruto found it slightly odd at Grover's mysterious behaviour but he let it go. Everyone had their secrets; he knew that better than anyone.
Right now they were on a school trip heading towards the Metropolitan Museum of Art that was being led by the Latin teacher Mr Brunner. Mr Brunner was a middle aged man with scraggy thinning brown hair and beard and was confined to a wheel chair and always wore a tweed jacket.
"And here come our favorite centaur!" Apollo and Hermes cheered out.
"Thank you lord Apollo, lord Hermes" Chiron said gratefully.
Despite his appearance he was definantly one of Naruto and Percy's favourite teachers. He told interesting stories in class and was always up for a joke. On rare occasions he even brought roman and Greek armour and weapons. Because of this, it was easily one of the only classes that Naruto and Percy did not fall asleep in.
"Artemis, I begin to think that your son isn't a smart one!" Athena turned her head to her sister "And I hope he didn't fell so low like Poseidon's sea spawn!"
"Don't worry about that" Artemis waved her hand rapidly.
"I hope he liked cereal" Demeter nodded her head, which the others completely ignored her.
But Naruto could not help but have his guard up around the man. The man had just appeared one day, took over the Latin class and had quite an interest in both Percy and Naruto. At first it was only Percy but after a couple of days and a lot of staring at Naruto, he began to take an interest in him too.
"Damn, I always felt creepy when Chiron did that!" A son of Apollo said loudly, around him the other Demigod nodded their head in agreement.
"It's a teacher's instinct dear" Chiron chuckled "don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
"You stare any harder the people might combust" Percy said as he jabbed Naruto in the ribs causing the blonde to roll his eyes.
"We could only hope" he smirked getting a small chuckle from Percy.
"Guys don't joke about that" Grover said in a panicky voice causing the two to stare at him incredulously. Lately Grover had been quite panicky a lot of the time lately. He was either worried about something or he kept drinking way to much coffee.
"It's not good for your help!" Dionysus said lazily while flipping through his magazine making everyone turned their head to him, completely forgot that he was also hear.
"Right" both Naruto and Percy said together before shaking their heads and going back into silence.
As the bus entered the parking lot and the class began to hop out, Naruto looked in front of the giant museum in wonder. Even after all these months of being in New York, the buildings in this world still amazed and confused him.
"Come on everyone" Mr Brunner said as he managed to get himself out of the bus. "Stay together and don't wander off. Don't want you to get into any trouble now do we?" he said glancing over towards Percy and Naruto.
"Trouble marker eh?" Apollo smirked "Can wait to meet my nephew!"
"Why did he look at us when he said that?" Percy asked while Naruto just shrugged.
"We do have a bit of a reputation in school" he said to which Percy rolled his eyes before they followed Mr Brunner.
The class made their way into the museum as they walked past the giant pillars at the front of the museum and Naruto couldn't help but notice how much Mr Brunner and surprisingly Grover's face lit up when they saw all the Greek and Roman artefacts.
The first stop on the little tour was to look at a bronze chariot that was enlaced with Ivory. Mr Brunner went on to explain how the chariot was used and that it was supposedly created by the Greek Gods Athena and Poseidon. Apparently it was Athena who created the chariot but it was Poseidon who supplied the horses.
"Still remember that day, the only day those two see eyes to eyes with each other!" Apollo grinned
"Yeah," Hermes nodded his head "Always wondered why those two didn't get along with each other!"
"The two of you, shut up!" Athena scolded her two brothers with a blushing face, making both of them roared out in laughter.
"Bet racing in one of those would be fun" Naruto whispered to Percy getting a grin of approval from Percy.
"Chariots racing around central park? Sounds fun and dangerous" Percy whispered back.
"Definitely my son, definitely" Poseidon smiled to Percy, both father and son grinned happily while Athena and Annabeth shook their head.
"Exactly" Naruto replied making Percy again roll his eyes at the blonde.
Grover meanwhile looked at the grinning duo with worry. "Gods these two are really going to be the death of me."
"Keep up Jackson, Uzumaki" Mrs. Dodd's said sweetly when the two noticed that the group had moved on while they were talking. She was this little math teacher from Georgia who always wore a black leather jacket, even though she was fifty years old. She joined just after Christmas break after their previous maths teacher had a nervous breakdown.
"Why did she sound so familiar?" Hades muttered to himself, but the other heard it clearly.
"Ugh, fifty years old or not, she didn't have any fashion sense at all" Aphrodite shook her head in disappointment.
"Hah, fancy dress? Extra mini short skirt? And all the revealing clothes and you call them fashion?" Artemis snickered "Oh please!"
"Hey, you want war?" Aphrodite stood up and threw the book to her throne, Artemis did the same with her hunting knife ready at her side "You know nothing about fashion, loveless huntress!" she flicked her extremely short skirt revealing what underneath to everyone's eyes, making the males drooled except for Hephaestus who just sat in his throne shaking his head while the Huntresses were glaring dangerously at her.
Before the two could attack each other, Hestia appeared behind Artemis and held the hot head goddess of the Hunt back and put her down to her throne.
Artemis growled when she saw Aphrodite sat down to her throne with a smug grin, after this was over she going to beat the life out of that slut goddess for talking back to her… of course that would be the second thing she would do, after she had pulled Naruto out of that hell hole that was.
She really did not like Percy for some odd reason and she constantly called on him to answer questions she knew he did not know.
For the next hour Mr Brunner took the class all over the museum. He explained the different armours Greeks and Romans used, different strategies that were used at certain battle such as Battle of Troy.
The God glanced their eyes at Aphrodite who just hid her face behind the book who completely understood that she was one of the main reason that cause the Trojan War. The Goddess of Love quickly cleared her throat and continued.
Meanwhile Naruto, Percy and Grover were standing at the back of the group somewhat paying attention when the class bitch as Naruto and Percy called her Nancy Bobofit began to throw small piece of bread at Grover which stuck to him since they had peanut butter and jelly on them.
Nancy Bobofit was this horrid beast of a girl that had wild red frizzy hair and was a very butch and messy person.
"EW~!" Aphrodite's children and even the Goddess of Beauty herself winced at that, even reading it cause her stomach to grow sick. This girl really needed some changed.
She was sweet one minute to the teachers and then a real bitch when the teacher had their back turned. She constantly teased on a lot of the school kids, especially Percy and Grover because they were different from everyone else but she would not go near Naruto since an incident in the past caused her to become very wary of him.
Let's just say she chose the wrong day to pick on him and found herself pinned to the wall with pencil going through her clothes and pinning her to the wall while a sign was put on her saying 'ESCAPED MONKEY PLEASE RETURN TO ZOO.'
Despite this and Naruto's reputation in school, unfortunately Grover was still the subject of a lot of teasing and bullying due to him being crippled and it made him an easy target, though it didn't happen as often once Naruto joined Yancy Academy and got involved. All those who tried to bully Grover either got scared off by Naruto and Percy or were subjected to Naruto's pranks that had began making a name for themselves during his time at school.
"Hehe, here sure is my nephew"
There was one time when a group of kids tripped Grover over and dumped their food on him just because he was a cripple. Neither Naruto nor Percy took too kindly to that. However the next day that group of boy found them hanging by their underwear on the school flag pole while the American National Anthem began playing in the background causing everyone in the area to roar with laughter.
Immediately everybody in the throne room save for the more stern one roared out in laughter at the prank Naruto had pulled, including the Hunters while they were silently thanking their misstress' son for doing something like that to those boys.
"Damn, Hahaha, that's a good one right Hermes?" Apollo said while controling his laughter, which basically rolling on the ground laughing while holding his stomach
"Definitely bro" Hermes nodded his head and wiped the tears at the corner of his eyes for laughing so much "Your son is really a prankster at her Artemis"
Said goddess of the Hunt could only nodded her head, she too was really proud of Naruto for doing something like that especially to boy. He definitely taken after that from her.
The boys didn't have clue how it happened but Percy and Grover both suspected Naruto had something to do with it if the menacing grin he gave off was any indication.
As the group made their way through the hallways of the museum both Naruto and Percy were looking at the mosaics and dishes that were against the wall or being held in special class cases so that they could to be touched or ruined in any way. They recognised some of them from the stories that Mr Brunner spoke about in class.
There was one with Jason sailing across the ocean in the Argos with the Argonauts. Another was of the Battle of Troy depicting the giant wooden horse the Greeks used to trick the Trojans which ultimately led to the Trojans demise.
"Ahem" Zues coughed into his hand while the other Olympians casted their eye to a certain love goddess who clearly had been the one who caused the Trojan War to happen.
Aphrodite paid no mind to the staring and continued with the book in her hand, already planning a lot of love interest for the only child of Artemis.
The main one that was there was the biggest of them all and depicted the Twelve Labours of Hercules.
Hera snorted while muttering something under her breath while her husband, the king of the god was smirking proudly at his greatest son.
Down at the throne room, Zoe was griping her bow tightly in her hand. She wanted nothing more than go to find that bastard and put an arrow through his balls, and then ripped his throat out so he could pay for what he did to her all those years ago. But before Zoe could do that her mistress' silver eyes landed on her and with a shook of her head, Artemis sent the message to Zoe that she can't do something that stupid right now.
But still, she understood that her mistress would be more than happy to help her.
The first one was of Hercules, the demi god son of Zeus fighting against the Nemean Lion. It depicted his great and superior strength as he held the Nemean Lion up in the air with his hand wrapped around its throat with a giant club in his other hand.
They looked over to another one of the labours to see him capturing the Golden Hind of Artemis. When Naruto saw this he couldn't help but frown slightly and have a twinge of anger towards it.
"Damn right Naruto" Artemis roared out and then looked around the throne room to see everyone was looking at her for doing something so… un-Artemis like that, she quickly covered her mouth and waved her hand dismissively to Aphrodite.
It just seemed wrong to him for some reason but he knew from the stories that the hind did escape in the end yet Hercules still passed the third Labour.
They scanned through the other labours which included defeating the Erymanthian Boar, Capture the Cretan Bulls, Obtain the girdle of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons and the rest.
They then got to the final one which showed Hercules fighting Cerberus and capturing it. But when he looked at it Naruto only had one thing on his mind.
"Cerberus would make one badass summoning."
"Summoning?" a daughter of Athena asked out loud while the rest of her siblings were wondering the same thing.
"Summoning is a space-time Ninjutsu that allows the summoner to transport animals or people across long distant instantly via blood" Athena explained "these animals could be anything from snake to slug, or bird and then toads. And please note that the biggest could be as big as a mountain" Athena finished while everyone gasped in shock.
"Ew~, a massive toad, who want to summon something like that?" Aphrodite and her children winced in disgust, it was quite clear something like toad wasn't the best animal for them.
"Minato signed the Toad Contract" Artemis said, loud enough to everyone to hear but with a threaten hint in them "and my son definitely signed that contract too, if you have anything with toad I'm sure I could send you to Mount Myoboku so you can get to know them" Artemis smirked evilly while Aphrodite covering in fear.
"No thank you" Aphrodite said quickly returned to the book
"Plus, when you get to know them… the toad is pretty cool" Artemis said, remembering the time Minato took her to Mount Myoboku to meet the toads "well, not Gamabunta if you count him"
The two moved on from their spot and they walked into a giant room at the centre of the Museum with Mr Brunner wheeling himself over towards a shrine of sorts.
He gathered all of the students around a thirteen – foot - tall stone column with a big sphinx on the top, and started telling everyone how it was a grave marker, a stele, for a girl about their age. Naruto, Grover and Percy somehow found themselves at the front of the class instead of the back where they usually remain and had to look interested in what Mr Brunner was saying.
Mr Brunner began to explain what the carvings on the sides meant and actually managed to catch both Naruto and Percy's attention because it was actually kind of interesting, but yet everyone else around them was talking and having their own conversations.
Yet when Percy or Naruto told them to shut their traps, they got the evil eye from Mrs Dodd's.
"She sound familiar" Hades muttered under his breath
However when Nancy Bobofit snickered about some of the statues being naked
"Not the best choice from back there, but hey, who am I to complain?" Apollo stood up and doing some muscles stretching "Oh yeah, I'm a go…" But before he could finished that sentence Artemis had jumped out of her throne and in a silver blur she jumped into the air and ramped her knee into her twin brother's face, so hard that the force sent him flying into the throne room's wall.
"Aphrodite, continue before I lose my patient" Artemis stomped back to her throne with a scold on her face while the Hunt cheered for her.
, Percy had enough and shouted at her to shut the hell up. Of course this caught everyone's attention as well as Mr Brunner's.
"Mr Jackson, do you have something you wish to say?" Mr Brunner asked clasping his two hands together.
"No sir" Percy mumbled out while the other began to snicker at him but quickly shut up when Naruto gave them his own evil eye.
"Well then perhaps you can tell me what is happening in the picture" he said motioning over to a picture on the stele that showed a man sitting on a throne with child in his hands and his mouth wide open.
"Always have to be that scene." Demeter muttered under her breath, living inside your father's stomach wasn't something pleasant and her siblings save for Zeus clearly understood that.
"Urm" Percy said starting off before getting a bit of confidence once he recognised the pictures.
"That's Kronos eating his kids."
"Well, if you said it in a more science way" Apollo suddenly appeared in his throne, looking completely normal "he was swallowing them, not eating"
"Yes," Mr. Brunner said obviously not satisfied.
"And he did this because…?"
"Well…" Naruto heard Percy say as his friend racked his brains to figure it out. "Kronos was the king god and..."-
"WHAT?!" Zeus bellowed
"Calm down brother" Hestia chuckled "I'm sure Mr Brunner will help him correct that mistake"
"God?" Mr Brunner said frowning before Percy quickly corrected himself.
"See?"
"Titan" he said quickly correcting himself. "He didn't trust his kids, who were the gods. So, um, Kronos ate them, right? But his wife hid baby Zeus, and gave Kronos a rock to eat instead.-
"Speaking of mother" Hestia stated while looking at her siblings with a stern eyes "I think it's time you five should paid a visit to her"
Said God and Goddess looked around nervously, it's been a very very long times they had visited their beloved mother who had helped them in the previous war with the Titans. Poseidon and Hades, Demeter felt kind of bad for forgetting something that important for a long time now.
With Zeus and Hera? They still kept the most stoic face and if they really felt bad, the King and Queen hid it rather well
- Then when Zeus grew up, he tricked his dad, Kronos, into barfing up his brothers and sisters-"
"Eeew!" said all the girls behind them causing Naruto, Percy, Grover and Mr Brunner to roll their eyes.
"Then there was big fight and the gods won" Percy continued and finished the answer getting a nod of approval from Mr Brunner.
"That's correct" he said. "Then the world became ruled by the Twelve Olympians gods, with the most powerful being the three brothers Zeus, Poseidon and Hades" he said pointing towards three small figures.
"Ever since they overthrew their father they have been rivals ever since. "
"On many occasions the gods came down to earth and how should I put this" he said in thought before Naruto spoke up.
"Hooked up because they couldn't keep it in their pants" Artemis snorted while looking at her fellow Olympians, some of them looked uncomfortable… some of them clearly didn't.
"Hey, you have a son too you know" Aphrodite wined while exchanging glare at Artemis.
"Excuse me? Unlike you Aphrodite who can't keep it in your skirt, you sleep around with thousand and thousand mans and then randomly giving birth to a demi-god. I love Minato and always will be" Artemis a matter of factly while Aphrodite pouted before looking at the book, reading the next sentence with a smirk on her face.
"Hooked up because they couldn't keep it in their pants"-
"What can I say?" Apollo laughed at his sister's wide eyes for saying the exact same thing at her son "Like mother like son"
-he said getting a round of laughter from everyone even Mrs Dodd's and Mr Brunner.
"That is correct Mr Uzumaki. Can you tell me the correct term for these children?" he asked Naruto.
Naruto thought for a second knowing he read about this as he racked his brains to find the answer.
"They were called demi gods right? Part mortal and part god" Naruto said getting a nod from Mr Brunner.
"Can you perhaps name me some demi god heroes?" Mr Brunner asked directing the question towards Naruto again.
"Urm Hercules and Perseus was ones right? They were both sons of Zeus"-
"Talk about too many children of Zeus" Hera said bitterly while not looking at the eyes of her husband.
"Well, honey… I'm sure I will try better this time" Zeus said nervously.
- he said getting a nod of approval from Mr Brunner.
"Plus there was Theseus who was a son of Poseidon."
"That's correct, very good Mr Uzumaki. Good to see you were paying attention in class."
However they heard snickers coming from the class behind them and Nancy Bobofit saying "Like we're going to use this in real life. Like it's going to say on our job applications, 'Please explain why Kronos ate his kids or name a demi god."
"And why Mr Uzumaki," Brunner said, "to paraphrase Mrs. Bobofit's excellent question, does this matter in real life?"
"Mortal" Hermes said while shaking his head.
Naruto thought for a moment. It was an interesting question Mr Brunner had thrown at them but one he was completely unprepared for. So he just shrugged.
"I'm sorry sir but I really don't know."
"Mr Jackson how about you?" he asked but he got the same answer from Percy.
"I see." Mr. Brunner looked disappointed. "Well, half credit to both Mr Jackson and Mr Uzumaki. On that note, it's time for lunch. Mrs. Dodd's, would you lead us back outside?"
Said teacher nodded as the group ushered outside and began to walk back down the hallway. The group passed the other artefacts and Naruto looked around at any that he missed. Naruto quickly noticed Percy was not next to him but quickly saw him talking to Mr Brunner. Naruto shrugged it off and continued to walk.
As they got halfway down the hallway there was a small split in the side of one of the walls that led into another room. Curiosity getting the better of him he walked in and looked at what was there.
When he entered he stopped and marvelled at the sight of a well preserved Greek statue that was stood in the centre of the room.
The statue was of a woman who wore a dress that stopped just above the knees and was barefoot and her hair was in a sort of bun. She carried a bow in one hand and an arrow in another. Then at her side was a wolf.
"The connection" Hestia said smiling at her daughter in law, who nodded her head with asmall smile
When looking at her features Naruto had to admit she was very beautiful but was not quite sure who it was. He looked around and spotted a small plaque in front of it but couldn't make out the worlds thanks to his dyslexia.
"Artemis" a voice called out making Naruto turn around and sees Mr Brunner wheeling himself into the room.
"Goddess of the Hunt, Moon, Childbirth, Wild Animals and Chastity."
"Not anymore" Aphrodite said but quickly returned to the book before Artemis could throw that dangerous knife in her hand.
"Heh sorry for getting separated from the group, I wanted to see what was in here and when I saw the statue I couldn't help but feel a little drawn to it."
Mr Brunner looked at Naruto as if he was trying to figure him out before he shook his head and a small smile graced his face. "That's okay my boy. It is good to see a young man like yourself interested in history."
"Odd combination isn't it thought? To be the goddess of childbirth yet also the goddess of virginity. It kind of contradicts itself don't you think."
"Damn straight nephew, damn straight" Apollo nodded his head, agreeing with his nephew.
"You want to have my domain?" Artemis asked dangerously.
"No thank you sis, I like a free life with smoking hot woman" Apollo laughed while waving his hand, gluing his eyes to Aphrodite's generous V-neck cut, which exposed a massive amount of cleavage.
"Many have thought that but its best not to argue with the titles of a goddess."
"Fair enough. She took an oath right? To never have sex or be in a relationship with a man because of some guy called Orion who was killed and he was like her boyfriend or something?"
"Mortal's history" Hestia said quickly before Artemis could make an out-burst with that information about her.
"Something like that. Some say she mistook him for an animal when hunting one day, other say she was tricked into shooting him by her brother Apollo. Meanwhile other say she never loved him to begin with. The only one who could answer that is Artemis herself."
"For once, I'm happy you make me shoot that bastard" Artemis said to her brother with a nod.
"My pleasure sis" Apollo said, but this time he said it with a serious face, not his usual cheerful self.
Naruto chuckled slightly. "You talk as if she is real" he said before Mr Brunner turned his wheel chair around.
"Come let's go for lunch. We don't want to keep everyone waiting he said."
Naruto nodded and followed after. It was only until later that Naruto realised Mr Brunner never answered his question.
"Chiron and his way of teaching" Percy chuckled while some of the campers nodded their head.
During Lunch
The class was gathered on the steps of the museum as they watched the traffic on both the roads and the walkways as most were out from work and heading out for lunch. Up in the sky it looked like a nasty storm was brewing since dark clouds were heading over the city.
"Someone is angry?" Hermes asked while casting his eye to the trio from the future to get some answers.
"Ah ah, spoiler Lord Hermes, you will have to wait" Annabeth said, but to her everything was still quite unclear.
Lately when Naruto watched TV it spoke on the news that all around the world floods, hurricanes and huge storms were forming leaving many scientist confused about out the strange weather patterns. Then you always had the guy with a giant sign around him saying 'End of the world is near'.
"Oh yeah, I remembered when I dress like that and waving that giant sign, it could be me Naruto had saw" Apollo said with a laugh.
Naruto sat on the edge of a fountain with Percy and Grover as they ate away at their lunches while Naruto dug into his ramen. No one could ever understand how he managed to keep his ramen warm and Naruto would always just say that it was a trade secret and left it that.
Despite being in this great new world Naruto greatly missed good old Ichiraku's Ramen. He even had dreams about eating it again but he made do with what he had.
"You get Detention again?" Grover asked looking at Percy
"Nah," he said. "Not from Brunner. I just wish he'd lay off me sometimes. I mean –"I'm not a genius."
"Got that right" Naruto said chuckling earning him a punch on the arm from Percy.
"Hmm okay" Grover said shrugging. "Can I have your apple?" he said getting another chuckle from Naruto while Percy passed over the apple.
Naruto looked over towards his class to see some of the guys were pelting pigeons with Lunchables crackers.
"I swear boys are so stupid"-
"Did my nephew just say that?" Apollo asked while the males population in the throne room just shook their head, there was no doubt that Naruto wasn't Artemis' son now "Don't worry Naruto, when we I meet I will show you the way of life" he said while pointing his finger high, ironically he began to shine brightly.
"You will not corrupt my son you hear me Apollo?" Artemis said while pulling the string of her bow back, arrow ready.
'If he not then I will Artemis' Aphrodite thought inside her head.
-he muttered to himself before he stopped and thought about what he just said. "Why the hell did I just say that?"
Nancy Bobofit was trying to pickpocket something from a lady's purse, and, of course, Mrs. Dodd's wasn't seeing a thing.
The three began to chat quietly about the trip and what they might be doing over the summer when Nancy Bobofit walked up to them with some of her goons behind and decided to dump her lunch onto Grover.
"I swear someday I will throw her into a trash can" Percy gritted his teeth.
"Oops" she said grinning with bits of cheetos stuck in her crooked teeth.
"Is that really a girl?" Aphrodite asked horrified.
"For once, I agree with you" Hephaestus grumbled, making Aphrodite winked at him cutely.
Percy was angry and jumped up and looked like he was about to hit her before Naruto quickly grabbed and sat him back down.
"Don't. You will just get yourself into more trouble like you always do. Don't sink down to her level. She will get what's coming to her eventually. That much I can promise."
Percy who did not look very convinced sat back down but his eyes didn't look away from Nancy Bobofit.
That's when something very unexplained happened.
As Naruto was sitting down eating his ramen and thinking of new ways to prank and torture the Bobofit beast, Nancy suddenly fell into the water fountain making a loud and audible splash which caught the attention of everyone including the teachers with Mrs Dodd's making her way over.
"Mrs Dodd's Percy just pushed me" she cried out but neither Naruto nor Percy was listening. Both were trying to figure out what just happened.
Naruto was not looking at Nancy when it happened but he swore at the corner of his eye he saw what look to be some sort of tentacle made of water grab Nancy and push her into the fountain.
"Water power is the coolest" Poseidon smirked at his two brothers "I mean, who care about death army or some kind of lightning rod right?"
Everyone just ignored the Sea God.
"Mr Jackson comes with me now honey" Mrs Dodd's said as she looked directly at Percy making Naruto shake out of his thoughts.
"No Wait I pushed her" Grover said trying to stand up but without his crutches it made it a little difficult.
"Such a good friends" Hestia smiled at Grover who looked a litte nervous.
"Of course" Percy and Annabeth patted their friend's shoulders at the same time.
Percy was a little stunned that Grover was trying to cover for him while Naruto was a bit put off that Grover wanted to take the punishment.
However Mrs Dodd's was not buying it and she then lead Percy away back inside the museum where Percy was most likely going to get another scolding and another detention.
"Why did you say you pushed her? I might not have been looking in her direction but I know you were sitting down."
"I-" Grover said trying to think of something which amused Naruto at the constipated look Grover got when he tried to think of a suitable lie or excuse. Grover really was an awful liar.
"Don't worry Grover, I will come to camp one day and teach you how to lie" Hermes said the satyr.
"Oh fine don't tell me" Naruto said in a huff before standing up.
"I'm going to the bathroom" he said heading back into the museum.
"No wait" Grover said but Naruto was already inside the building.
"Dammit" Grover said as he looked over to Mr Brunner trying to get his attention.
"Don't tell me that Mrs. Dodd is some kind of monster"
With Naruto
"Ahh man where the hell are the bathrooms, I'm bursting here" he thought aloud as he tried to follow the sign on the walls to the bathroom that just led him around in circles since he couldn't read the signs properly.
"This is getting ridiculous. Damn Dyslexia" he said before he heard a scream come from one of the room to his left.
"That sounded like Percy. I recognise that girly scream anywhere"-
"HEY!" Percy cried out while everyone in the throne room busted out in laughter.
-Naruto said before he began to sprint towards the room where the scream originated from.
"Percy where are you?" he called out and noticed that no one else was around. That's odd he thought before he ran into the fall where he heard Percy scream.
"Naruto run" Percy suddenly said appearing in front of him from round a corner and running towards him.
"Percy what the hell are you-"
"Where is it?" a deep scratchy voice called not sounding very human before a figure appeared behind Percy. Whatever it was had eyes as black as coal with a greyish body with sharp teeth and leathery like wings on its back.
"YOU SEND A FURY AFTER MY SON?" Artemis and Poseidon roared at the same time and ready to jumped at Hades, both weapons appeared on their hands.
"Hey! This is the future, how am I supposed to know?" Hades asked.
"Calm down you two, we will have to wait for the book to know what happen next" Hestia suddenly appeared between the two and put her hands on their shoulder, calming them down immediately at her warm voice.
"This isn't over" Poseidon returned to his throne while growling but Artemis pointed her knife at Hades' face "if anything happen to him, this mean war" Artemis finished with a dangerous tone while everyone in the throne room pale immediately, knowing Artemis who never made an empty threat before, a war between two Olympians will cause the world to come to disaster.
"Aphrodite if you please" Hestia returned to her seat and motioned to the love goddess to continue
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" Naruto thought to himself never seeing anything like it and he had seen a lot of weird things before he noticed it was about to take a swipe at Percy. Pushing chakra to his feet he ran towards the creature and delivered a hard kick to its face knocking it back and hitting the wall behind it.
"Damn, the kid is something" Ares smirked, kicking a fury with that much power is really spoke volume of the boy's power.
"I'm watching you here Ares" Artemis said "you will not touch my son or I will kill you"
"I won't ask again. Where is the lightning bolt?"
Zeus raised an eyebrow at this while Athena was putting everything together and then paled immediately.
"You alright Athena?" Artemis, seeing the Athena's paling face asked.
"Ah, yes yes, I'm alright" Athena quickly said, for once she was hoping she would be wrong.
The creature asked with Naruto taking a look towards Percy.
"What the hell is she talking about?" Naruto asked getting in his fighting stance.
"This was a bad day not to bring my weapons pouch."
"What kind of soldier not brings his weapon with him?" Ares snorted
"We are not soldier" Percy said with a cold tone to Ares.
"Like hell you no…" But before he could finish a pair of gold and silver arrows impelled to the throne at the side of his head, the color then slowly drank of his face as he looked at Apollo and Artemis with bow in their hand.
"For once, shut up" Aphrodite said with a disgusted tone and then returned to the book.
"I don't know. Mrs Dodd's took me away to talk and then she turned into that. Then she started ranting about me stealing a lightning bolt."
"Stealing a lightning bolt? But that doesn't make sense. And did you just say thatthingis Mrs Dodd's" Naruto asked looking slightly wide eyed getting a nod of confirmation.
"Come here honeys"-
"Honey?" Hermes asked
"Don't ask me, it's her thing" Hades waved his hand.
- she yelled as she spread out her wings and began to flap/charge over towards them.
While Percy had a look of fear cross his face, Naruto was keeping it together and trying to think what to do. "I don't have my weapons with me so that's out. I kicked her but yet it doesn't look as if it did all that much. I'm going to have to use a jutsu."
"Percy" Naruto called getting his attention. "What I'm about to do I need you to swear that you will keep it a secret and that you will NOT tell anyone about it. Understand?"
"Naruto what do you-"
"Do you understand?" Naruto repeated with a bit more force. Percy realising this was not the time to argue just nodded his head.
"Right" Naruto said as he looked directly at Mrs Dodd's. Take this he said as his hands began to make hand signs.
"Wind Style: Wind Palm" he shouted as a blast of wind shot out from his palm and hit Mrs Dodd's square in the chest and forced her back and into the wall she hit before which caused a hiss of pain to escape from the Mrs Dodd's lips.
"Damn, that's a good one" Apollo grinned.
Percy meanwhile was gaping like a fish out of water as he saw what Naruto just did.
"H-How?"
"Explain later" Naruto said as he saw Mrs Dodd's getting up again.
"Man what does it take to keep this old bat down?"
Mrs Dodd's got up again and charged towards both of them again, anger clearly shown on her wrinkled, monstrous face.
"That's bad seaweed?" Annabeth snickered "your face must be very funny"
"Thank you very much Wise Girl" Percy said bitterly.
"You will pay for that."
Percy and now Naruto were a little worried since Naruto's attack didn't seem to be doing much. Naruto was not seriously contemplating using the rasengan.
However they were both brought out of their thoughts when they heard the screeching of wheels get closer to them and when they both looked over they were surprised to see Mr Brunner there in his wheelchair.
"Percy! Naruto! What Ho!"-
"What HO?" Hermes asked "What with people and their strange language nowadays?"
"Don't ask"
- He shouted as he threw an item to both of them. Both boys caught the items. Percy and Naruto looked down to see what they caught and saw that they both now had a pen in their hands.
Both boys looked at each other then back towards their items before shouting out "WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE SUPPOSE TO DO!?"
"That… my dear are your weapon" Apollo chuckled
Percy not knowing what to do with the pen just decided to twist the cap to see if there was some sort of hidden weapon in the pen but immediately retracted his hand when the pen suddenly became a sword the length of his arm.
"Woh" both boys thought before Naruto tried to do the same with is but saw it wasn't a twist pen but more of an ink pen. So he yanked the cap off. As soon as he did the cap and the pen both turned into a pairs of long hunting knives.
"Artemis's style?" Apollo grinned "time to send some monster back to the underworld"
"Well" Naruto said. "Let's see what these bad boys can do" he said before he charged towards Mrs Dodd's with Percy very shakily going with him.
"Die Honeys"she said before she met Naruto who used his shinobi speed and flexibility to dodge a swipe from her talons and give her a quick kick to the ribs before with both of his knives stabbed Mrs Dodd's in each shoulder earning a big hiss of pain to erupt from her mouth.
"He's very skill" Athena said in awe "I mean for a gennin, he definitely train a lot"
"That's my son for you" Artemis smirked.
The hunt didn't say anything at their listened to the story go one, for once they didn't hold anything against this boy. He hadn't showed anything that they thought all the boys has, and even sometime showed them something they had to respect from him.
"Finish her Percy" Naruto shouted as Percy ran towards her and while having one of his eyes closed slashed down at Mrs Dodd's leathery torso before she erupted into nothing but gold dust.
Both boys looked to where Mrs Dodd's previously was and didn't understand what just happened. Did they just kill her or did she just disappear?
Both boys looked at each other before letting out a loud sigh. They looked over to where Mr Brunner was but saw that he was gone.
They put their weapons back into their pen forms before they left the hall way, not wanting to explain the bit of mess they made in there.
When they got back out they were interrupted by Nancy Bobofit.
"Where have you idiots been? Mrs Kerr is about to take us back in the museum?" she said sneering.
"W-Who the hell is Mrs Kerr?"
"I hate the Mist" Percy groaned while the demi-gods all nodded their head, the mist changing the mortal's memory wasn't something pleasant and even sometime they too had been affected by it.
Percy asked but all he got was Nancy rolling her eyes and walking away muttering idiots. Both boys even noticed her previously wet clothes had now somehow dried themselves.
"Not just memory but existence itself" Annabeth said with a nod of her head/
Confused they then walked over to Grover and he gave them the same answer but he was stuttering slightly so they knew he was lying. So instead they turned their attention to Mr Brunner
"He definitely was a better liar than you Grover" Percy punched his friend's arm "you made us creep out last time"
"Um, sorry Percy" Grover said nervously
He looked up, a little distracted. "Ah, that would be my two pens. Please bring your own writing utensil in the future, Mr. Jackson, Mr Uzumaki" he said.
"Urrrr okay" both boys muttered looking at each other before handing them over and Mr Brunner putting them into his front pocket.
"Sir," Percy said, "where's Mrs. Dodd's?"
He stared at the two boys blankly. "Who?"
"Who?" Apollo and Hermes repeated at the same time, amused by the idea.
"The other chaperone. Mrs. Dodd's the pre-algebra teacher Naruto said looking Mr Brunner square in the eyes. Naruto saw a tiny show of deception but it quickly went away as if it was never their before Mr Brunner let a frown appear on his face and sat forward, looking slightly concerned.
"Percy, Naruto there is no Mrs. Dodd's on this trip. As far as I know, there has never been a Mrs. Dodd's at Yancy Academy. Are you both feeling all right?"
"Say what" both boys said together not quite believing what they just heard.
"You boys may have just got Mrs Kerr's name mixed up with someone else, perhaps an old teacher from a previous school. Don't worry about it boys" Mr Brunner said before wheeling off. "Come it's time to get back into the museum."
As he wheeled away both Percy and Naruto stood there with dumbstruck looks on their face with only one thing coming to mind with everything that just happened.
"What the hell?"
"That's the end" Aphrodite smiled and closed the books
