Intelligence for Hire

(KY bursts from the ground) Ah, it's good to be back. Now I have looked over the past reviews and I know that the last chapter was a little slow and short but it was intended to be just so. Now here, it will be longer and have much more development as well as a little information on our blonde killer. For those who are wondering how they will expose themselves, that will come. Anyways let's get rolling.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Percy Jackson series.

Chapter 4: Contract Enacted, Curse of the Owl Lifted

XXXXXXX

Olympus, a veritable paradise to Olympians and individuals associated with them at the best of times.

"LIES! ALL OF IT LIES!'

Well… it may be a little-

"LIIIIIIIEEEEEESSSS!"

OK, no need for-

"LIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!"

…. moving on.

"GGGRRRHH" The aforementioned 'liar' was choked with a projectile of greenery courtesy of a certain Goddess.

"Thank you Demeter for keeping Apollo quiet." Artemis huffed getting a nod from her friend. Really when they all got together Apollo seemed to be unable to keep himself from spouting truth, while she would understand it most of times now was not the time for such idiocy.

"Can we please get on with this people?" Athena drolled, letting her cheek rest in the palm of her hand. Honestly, considering what has been happening she thought her family would stop its idiocy and get on with the meeting. But no, like always it had to come to this.

Complete idiocy…

"Staying so serious will only give you wrinkles Athena, maybe you should just relax an-"

"I'm not sleeping with anyone Aphrodite, get it through your thick skull." The Goddess of Love huffed at that.

"SILENCE! Every single one of you!" Lightning crashed in the middle of the throne room, a veritable explosion of noise silencing the Gods chatter.

"Well seems like your over dramatic as ever brother." Poseidon chuckled on his throne, earning a glare from the bearded lightning thrower.

"I said silence Poseidon, I don't say that lightly." Zeus commanded as the Throne Room had finally settled down.

"Now in order of business. Athena would you please?" Athena nodded and began to talk.

"It has been a few months into the search of Zeus's Master Bolt and we have found-"

"Nothing. Absolutely nothing." Hermes cut off with a slight scowl. Stupid lost weapon of mass destruction, making his family push him to run around the fricken Earth at high speeds to search for the damn thing. He was already behind work as it is, this just upped his workload!

"...As Hermes slimmed it down, yes we have found nothing. Nothing on where it went, nothing on who stole it and nothing on its current whereabouts." Athena said getting grumbles from the others.

"And this is my problem because….?" Dionysus eloquently put getting heated looks from the rest at his nonchalance to the issue at hand.

"It's OUR problem, Dionysus, because someone has a weapon of immeasurable power. Power that could be a problem to us if they decide to turn it against us." Zeus said as the Wine God sipped on his soda.

"Right…..And who pray tell do you think took it brother?" Hades drolled out as he lazily looked to Zeus knowing what he was about to say.

Hades sometimes was glad that he was able to get out of the Underworld for these Emergency meetings since he can only come up to the surface for one of two situations, the Winter Solstice and Emergency meetings. During those two times, he can be able to walk about the surface and on Olympus with no one telling him he can't come up and interfere for a whole day. Yes, day. A full 24 hours as per agreement with his fellow gods and goddesses centuries ago.. Of course with the Emergency meetings that went on for these past several months were practically the same and it was so damn boring. If this kept up, he would actually start dreading the Emergency meetings with them ruining the days when he can come on up and get a breathe of fresh air. The thoughts of the meetings plaguing his mind and driving him insane and would make him want to retreat into his domain too soon.

Zeus narrowed his eyes on his brothers, "You know who I think took it Hades, Poseidon."

Poseidon threw up his hands in exasperation, "How many fucking times do I have to say I did not take your damn bolt! What purpose would it serve me other than electrocuting my subjects? Because news flash brother. I. Live. In. The. OCEAN! Such a weapon would serve me like a rabid dog, quick to bite its master as soon as it is unleashed."

"As for me I have no use for the bolt, it's to flashy and as soon as you use it everyone knows where it has been used. That is just not my way of doing things and you know it." The Underworld's ruler pointed out only getting an even angrier look from his younger brother. "If I wanted your stupid toy, what would be the outcome of your stupid spat, hmm? Would I gain more subjects? Yes, but that would end up with me having more paperwork to deal with the surplus of souls in the Underworld. My domain would be torn apart and would be over crowded. That would ruin everything on what I provided for all these years."

"You two may lie all you wish but if either of you do not give me my Master Bolt by the Summer Solstice I will be forced to take it from you!" Thunder crashed above them adding to the rising anger of its master.

Hera took her husband's hand and squeezed, "Dear this is not helping us. Getting angry will not solve the issue at hand."

"That's right, you aren't the only one suffering from theft these past few months either so you have no right to point fingers. What about the weapons stolen from us? The attacks on our people and places of power?" Poseidon pointed out getting a nod from Hephaestus.

"He's right Zeus, the Master Bolt wasn't the only thing stolen these last few months. Weapons, armor, experimental concoctions, arrows, the list goes on. Hell one of my forges was dangerously close to being raided if it wasn't for Hermes place to be stolen from then I would have never been able to up the security preventing the theft." Hermes scowled at that, someone had stolen from him. Him! The God of Thieves! No one should be able to steal from him, yet they managed to do so. Hell this was practically an insult to his godly title.

"Books, manuals, battle tactics, years of study and information was taken from some of my libraries as well." Athena added an angry glint in her eyes as she could remember visiting the locations of wisdom only to find important books stolen and their guardian's killed.

"My potions for skin smoothening? The aphrodisiacs, the chocolates…. Oh my sweets!" Aphrodite teared up at the losses of her sweets and other 'necessities'. Some of the other gods and goddesses in the room couldn't help but sweatdrop on that proclamation since a lot of that stuff could be easily replaceable but Aphrodite was being over exaggerated on such trivial things.

"... Not to mention some of my arrow stores and animal pelts, trophies and salves." Artemis scowled as she crossed her arms. It was probably some male god, someone that would just get some laughs from stealing from her. Her eyes trailed over to her ego-driven brother getting a quick shake of his head as he ungagged himself

"Don't even think about it Arty, I didn't take your stuff. I remember the last time I took them when we were kids and you literally made me sing soprano for a year among other things. Hell, did you forget that someone stole a few of my bows and arrows as well as a few old prophecy tablets?" Apollo said getting a blank look from his sister.

"That could just be some half truth, you could have gotten someone to take them for you." She accused as he groaned.

"But that's something I've already done! I don't like doing the same pranks twice, you know that!" He pouted to his twin as she sighed with Hermes voicing his agreement. He and Apollo tend to go pranking sprees with each other but they try to be original in their endeavors.

"Oh...are you sure about that Hermes?" The speedster blinked at the sudden turn of conversation to him.

"Ah, well… Yeah, he doesn't really do the same thing… Til a couple of millennia has passed that is. You know, sprucing up the old classics." He answered truthfully, for once, as she gave him a bit of a thankful look.

"Meaning that you would take my things again given the time period that passes!" She pushed the statement as she nocked an arrow to her bow aiming at Apollo.

"Yes! I mean NO! No-no-no-no! I wouldn't!" The Sun God spluttered as his sister gained an angry aura around her.

"You just admitted it brother, you can't lie!" An arrow slammed into his throne getting a sqea- yell, it was a yell, of surprise from him as he took cover behind his throne as his twin began to rain arrows down upon him.

"OW! Stop! This- OWW! Arty!" He tried to say as he got shot again and again by his angry twin.

A soft hand made it's way onto Artemis's shoulder making her glare at the one to dare interrupt her tirade.

"WHAT?!" Two warm, red eyes met her silver ones as a sickly sweet smile grew at the loud reproach to her action.

"Artemis, dear…. Please stop harassing your brother or I will make you stop. UNDERSTOOD?" Flames erupted from the Goddess's mouth and eyes as her point was made getting her niece to shiver and cower from the show of power.

"Y-yes, Aunt Hestia…" Artemis stuttered as the sweet Goddess went back to her loving, homely appearance as she giggled.

She patted her head, "Good~ Now if you play nice through this whole meeting I will reward you with some Shepard's Pie you so love. But, only if you play nice like I said; no arrows are to be shot at your family."

"Yes Aunt Hestia." Artemis sighed, sitting back down in her throne with a slight pout as her twin got to his throne as well with a few arrows sticking out of his person. That was going to take a while to get out.

"Now let me remind you, all of you, that none of us gods and goddesses are able to steal each other's main symbol of power like Poseidon's Trident and Hera's Diadem. Other items however are able to be taken amongst us. Like for example, someone stealing the last of Demeter's secret recipe for her cereals or someone stealing Ares' favorite motorcycle." Hestia said in a nice, sweet tone…. before the room started to get to warm for their comfort levels.

"Or someone stealing thelast of my special cookies and trEAts I wAS saving FOr the needY faMiLies aND children. Do you KNoW how long it took to even make THEM?!" Hestia said getting everyone in the room to start cowering in fear as her flames started to shift her into something out of their worst nightmares. Yeah there was one thing, one unwritten rule they would never, ever, ever do and that was to piss off Hestia. In terms of strength, she was practically the strongest with her being the eldest of the Rhea's children, but with her pacifist nature, others would tend to forget that tidbit.

"R-regardless, you have till the Summer Solstice to return my Master Bolt or there will be war! Meeting adj-adjourned!" With that Zeus esca-left, yes he left, in a bolt of thunder. He had things to do, yeah... things. He wasn't scared of his eldest sister or anything.

Really, he wasn't…. Of course if one was to look closely at his throne they would have seen a wet, slightly yellow puddle where he sat.

Thus Zeus left his family to deal with a VERY pissed Hestia. Who did steal from them they had to wonder. Whoever did practically made an enemy out of the Goddess of the Hearth.

Umbra Base, Briefing Room

Munch Munch Munch Munch

"MMMmmmmmm, mmmm. MMMmm mmm mm~ These are so goooood~" Wade giggled as he stuffed another cookie in his mouth.

"Wade...where did you get those? I don't remember any of us shopping earlier or anyone baking a batch for that matter." Mic said as he sat across from the crazy teen.

Mic, McGruber, was a rather short guy at 5'4 for a seventeen year old. Dressed in a pair of grease stained, faded tan overalls the black haired and brown eyed individual was a cheerful looking one. Though his arms were strong from the hours of tinkering and forging he was still on the skinny side unfortunately.

"Eh, from one of the last jobs…. Can't remember which one. They were just lying around on a windowsill to cool down and looked so damn inviting. They were practically screaming for me to eat them. 'Wade! Wade! Come eat us!' ….Well I think that's what they said or else I pretty much lost it." Wade said as he tossed another tasty treat into his mouth.

At sixteen years of age the teen was a rather, well, odd individual. Standing at 5'7 with lightly tanned skin he was blessed with a rather strong build if the muscles under his red shirt and clearly shown arms were anything to go by. Black boots and pants propped onto the table as crazed brown and green eyes watched the cookie come to him to be devoured. Brown short hair moved from left to right as he enjoyed the treats.

"Mind if I snag one of those?" Mic said as he reached out his hand towards the few plates of cookies and treats Wade had in front of him. Before reaching any closer, Wade covered them with his form and glared at Mic.

"No, they are my precious. You cannot have the precious." Wade said in his best impersonation of Smeagol's voice as he glared at Mic. He soon inwardly reached for more of the treats and slowly brought them into his mouth and chewed them slowly as he mumbling some random things like 'Wade won't hurt the precious. Wade just wants to savor the precious.'

"Ok….so asides from that….Wade moment, why are we here boss?" Mic questioned his friend. Naruto sat at the end of the table with a bowl of ramen in his hands as he slurped a few noodles into his mouth.

"I told you all… That we would be getting our contract with the Titans soon. Well, this is it. Just have to wait on their representatives to give us the details." He answered between bites.

While it has been a few weeks since they assisted in keeping the Olympians from finding the Master Bolt they had been busy. For instance stealing important items of interest from the Olympians to help them in coming events. Though Naruto couldn't stop some of his people, Wade, from stealing stupid things like cookies and appetizing treats. Where he got them he didn't know but he had a good idea of who it was stolen from given how much the crazy merc with a mouth guarded them.

It couldn't have been Hera since she doesn't bake too often, couldn't have been Demeter since her treats are more wheat and grain related. Artemis didn't bake unless it was roasting animals over a flame and Athena certainly didn't, Aphrodite surely didn't make them since it had no aphrodisiacs in them or any romantic feel for them with them being in her domain. Zeus never cooked a day in his life. Ares and Hephaestus tends to overcook their baked goods. Poseidon never liked staying too close flames and Dionysus tended to cook horrible food items. There was no way in Hell Wade got them from Hades since they hadn't gone to the Underworld in months.

So that only left the Goddess of the Hearth…. One of the only Olympians he could personally say he respected given her past and present actions of trying to keep her family in line, even if her efforts didn't really work.

"So where are they and where is everyone else? Shouldn't they be in here to hear this?" Mic questioned as they were the only ones in the briefing room. There wasn't even holographic representations of them to show that they would be attending just for the information.

"The others are on their own assignments at the moment, so they won't be needing to attend this. They will get the information later on anyway so it is nothing to be concerned about." Naruto said as a hazy portal opened at the other end of the table showing a group of seemingly preppy kids all in a group with smiles of no real emotion. This painted a rather disturbing picture as they spoke as one.

"Hello, Mr. Uzumaki. How are you and your associates doing this hour?" They asked with a creepy lilt at the end getting a slight shiver from Mic while Wade pointed to them with a quivering finger.

"It's the Delightful Children From Down the Lane! Quick Numbah 2 get the Zappattack!" He smacked Mic in the back of the head as a pair of sunglasses popped over his eyes and became bold for no apparent reason.

"Wade I'm not part of the KND. Stop thinking that when the Kids pop up!" Mic glared at the teen as he hefted a rather heavy looking wrench in his hands threateningly.

Ignoring Wade Naruto spoke, "We're fine Kids, now what do the Titan's have for us?"

The Kids in question were the children of a rather Minor God, who was anyone's guess as no one could discern it, who upon joining Camp Half-Blood were pushed into Hermes Cabin where they were unclaimed for years. Sick of not being claimed they grew to hate whoever sired them as well as gain a little bit of hate for those that made fun of them for their way of speaking as one. When they were given a choice to side with the Titans all they asked was to be able to kill the one they called father/mother at the end of the war. Now, they opted as spies inside the camp that gave their masters information on the current happenings of the Half-Bloods of the Gods.

"Our Masters wish for you to kill a boy that just recently got to the camp as-"

"Hold it." Naruto interrupted, getting glares from the Kids for the cut off. "The Titans, the 'Superior beings to the Gods', want me and my people to kill an untrained, undisciplined, wet-behind-the-ears child?!"

The Kids nodded, "Yes, yes they do. BUT…" They stopped Naruto from cutting in again. "He is not just some ordinary Half-Blood. He is a child of the Sea, a Son of Poseidon."

"Oooooh, old Squid'ems got himself a Waterboy? Well isn't that just sunshine and shitstains! What's next, is he supposed to be some Chosen One that decides the Fate of the Gods because he is the son of the great Aquaman?" Wade laughed as in an unknown universe Percy Jackson sneezed, wondering why he did that for no reason.

"Wade you know there is no such thing. Otherwise some Prophecy would be out and the Gods would be smiting him as soon as he was claimed." Mic said as he knew how the King of the Gods would react, he's seen the man's work after all and he was not a fan.

Naruto placed his empty bowl down, "Such a thing would just create a war between the Rulers of Sea and Sky, with the Ruler of the Underworld disregarding such a fight due to his position. But as it has been said, no such Prophecy exists so there isn't really a reason to kill the boy other than the Oath the three Gods took to not bear children. But it seems that has been broken once again, such a stupid thing to do but given the track record of the Oath of the Styx it seems to not do anything really..."

Honestly it seemed like the Oath didn't really punish the one doing the oath but only punish the ones close to the individual or do nothing at all if the gods would get off so easily. First the girl sired by Zeus and now this boy from Poseidon. Really what was the point of the Oath if it did nothing?

"Yes, the boy Percy Jackson is the first child the Sea God has sired since World War II. Age twelve, recently kicked out of Yancy Academy and seen as a truant by mortals. He has only been at the camp for a few days and was trained during those days while armed with the cursed blade Riptide. The boy has recently been given a quest to retrieve the Master Bolt with two others aiding him on this quest. The first is Grover Underwood, a Satyr of no real repute and not very reliable when it comes to Woodland Spells made famous by Satyrs. The other that will be joining them is Annabeth Chase, a Daughter of Athena. She is very intelligent and driven but ultimately she has inherited the Fatal Flaw of her Sire: her hubris. She is adept with a knife and has an enchanted baseball cap from her mother that renders her invisible to many, but visible to few. Your main objective is to eliminate Percy Jackson, the others do not matter. If they are to meet an early death then that's just a bonus. Your other objective is to make sure that the Master Bolt is not taken by Percy Jackson. Do you accept?" The Kids said as Naruto pondered their words.

"Still, what is there to gain from killing him? I understand that the potential he has is great due to his heritage but such a kill would be, I don't know, insulting to us given the target." Mic pointed out as Naruto nodded. Given what they were told the boy wasn't even really trained if he just got there, meaning it would be like killing a civilian Mortal.

An utter and total cake walk really.

"Mickey here is right! Where's the challenge? Where's the thrill of the battle?! Why, it would just be like me going and killing some cute little kittens, they can't put up a fight! It would just be really sad afterwards… I need some Haagen-Dazs." Wade added as his thoughts went from depressed to ice cream themed as the cool treat floated around his head as he snatched at them. Mic just facepalmed at his comrades odd behavior as he swiped at things that weren't there.

"You will be paid triple the usual amount for this contract." This stopped all of them in their tracks as they looked to the Kids.

"Triple?" The blonde raised a brow at this. Their normal contracts weren't cheap, not in the least, but if the Titans were willing to hand out triple the amount of cash this meant that they really wanted the kid dead. Seeing as that was the case this could be something to look into and see if the Titans worries were really worth any merit. If they were true, well, this may prove to be a good opportunity to destroy a rather pesky enemy for future plans.

"Triple." They repeated as they saw the three getting much more interested in the offer.

"Well… I do need some new parts for the robot I'm building and triple the amount would help out…" Mic muttered as he was already going over the numbers in his head. His robot in his head now sporting lasers and rocket launchers as the money seemed to pay for the extra additions.

"Mmmmm, triple decker ducker holy smucker~ Heehee, the things I could do with that~" Wade rubbed his hands together as a thought bubble popped into existence with him and a couple women jumping into a large pile of cash, giggles and moans emanating from the pile as the money flew from the activities he was doing with them.

"... Tempting, very tempting….. Very well, we will take the Contract, Kids." They smiled as they bowed slightly.

"Thank you for accepting our Master's offer Mr. Uzumaki. All information relevant to the target will be transferred to you quickly. Your deadline for completion will be before the Summer Solstice. Happy hunting hehehe…" The portal disappeared in a popping noise. Naruto leaned back in his chair as he looked to his two comrades.

"Let's get ready to kill a Sea Spawn boys…"

Unknown Road

Wheels spun and ground against the road as the metal vehicle gained speed. The midday sun reflected off of its form as the driver of the car followed his holo-map. Once they had gotten the information from The Kids Naruto looked over the possible routes that their target may take, with careful calculations and earlier observations made by The Kids themselves. Their course now set they would be at their destination in no time.

"There's probably more to this contract than we see boss. I can feel it." Mic said as he sat next to Naruto. Honestly this job just felt, well, to easy really. Eliminate the waterboy, thereby preventing him from taking the Master Bolt back. Simple, easy, not even remotely difficult…..

And that's what worries the tinkerer. I was to simple, nothing is so simple in their line of work.

"Of course there is Mic. Heh, does this remind you of anything?" Naruto asked as he drove down the forested road.

Mic rubbed his chin, "Eh, not really….. Oh! OH! Right, the job in Germany. We had to take out some kid for the German Mafia. Ended up with us being trapped inside a manor full of people trying to kill us."

"Yeah, turned out it was a trap by the client to take us out. That was a rather bloody affair, if sensei didn't help us out on that job we may not have gotten out of there alive." The blonde recounted as he could remember it like it was yesterday. It was one of their first jobs and it seemed simple enough. Take out an Heir to a wealthy family and report his demise to the client with proof. That is if it was so simple; when the ambush happened they fought tooth and nail to get out of there. By the time they got out their clothes were stained and drenched in blood.

Wade popped his head in-between them, "Whaaaaaat? When was this? And why wasn't I invited to the un-a-living party."

"You weren't there because this was one of our first missions Wade. We met you years later, though I still regret it to this day." Mic muttered at the end as Wade wrapped his arms around his neck.

"Awwww~ I ruv you to Mickeypooo~" Wade nuzzled Mic's cheek as he struggled to get the teen off of him.

"Wade let go of Mic, were almost at the point of contact" Naruto ordered the crazed teen.

"Hey! I will have you know. Mr. Author man that I am Krazy, not crazed! There is a maaaaajor difference!" Wade pointed to some random direction to the 'author' getting a deadpan stare from Mic. Naruto didn't even try to stop it as he knew how Wade could go on about his random talks with the air.

"I am NOT TALKING TO AIR! Stop ignoring me! Why won't you look at me during?!" The now agitated Wilson reached to the window with hands in the position to strangle whatever he was talking to.

"Wade, get off!" A wrench made contact with Wilson's skull making a crunch sound from the impact as he fell back into the backseat with a groan.

"Ugh, my nosh. Youss hitsh my nosh…" A crack sounded as Wade set his nose back in the right place as his injury healed quickly.

"And I'll do it again if you keep invading my personal space!" Mic threatened with a mallet in his hands now. Gotta love pocket dimension technology, McGruber patent pending.

Naruto pulled the car over into an empty lot, turning it off and pocketing the keys.

"Come on, let's set up a perimeter and-" A red blur sped past him and zoomed into the building.

"GNOOOOOOOMES!" Wade yelled out when he passed his leader getting a facepalm from Mic.

"Ugh, why didn't we just leave him back at the base? If it isn't a mission meant for slaughter then he really isn't someone that we can rely on when it comes to something as simple as this." Naruto patted Mic's back as he walked with him to the little building.

"Because if we left him back home then he would just get into trouble with the others. Remember the last time we left him instead of taking him with us?" He asked as he read the places title, Aunty Em's Gnome Emporium, strange place for one of the Cursed Sister's but he has seen stranger.

"Yeah, the place was painted pink fro the mess hall all the way to my workshop. Kratos stabbed him so many times I thought for sure the idiot would die but no, he just laughed it off like usual." Mic said walking into the building with his boss.

"Right, so to avoid a day of repainting the homestead and cleaning up Wades blood he is here with us. Besides, he isn't so bad once you know how to block out his ramblings." Naruto said as he put his hands in his black hoodie pockets. He was only wearing black, loose clothing for extra movement since he just wanted to get the job over with. He had things to do after all.

Walking through the shop of stone statues and gnomes the two of them found Wade stuffing his face with hamburgers as a seemingly old woman with a black veil over her face served him more burgers.

Naruto and Mic came up to the two of them when the woman noticed their presence setting aside a place for them to sit with Wade.

"Come here dears, come come~Sit with your friend and have some delicious food. You look starved, yes you do." Her voice seemed to end in a slight hissing tone as she busied herself with the extra burgers on the grill.

Wade kept shoving burgers into his face, seeming to put everything out of his focus but the meaty delights set before him.

Naruto took a burger and looked it over, his clear contacts beginning to give a chemical analysis of the meat for any poison or curse of the sort that may be set on it. He wouldn't put it past the Gorgon woman to use such methods to get a meal from his past history with her sisters. Monsters, they really don't try to mask their presence or try to

"Nothing is wrong with them, their safe to eat." He muttered getting a nod from the tinkerer as they ate in silence. A few minutes later the woman came back with a camera just as they finished their meal.

"Would it be to much trouble if this poor old woman could get a picture of her nice customers? I promise it will be a memory to remember kidssss…" Again with the hiss, honestly. She seems to like to play with her prey so she wasn't Stheno as she liked to befriend her prey before slowly turning them to stone and crushing them. She didn't outright attack them so Euryale was out leaving the most famous of the sisters.

"She won't really be different if we send her back to Tartarus, she'll just reform like the rest sooner or later. Plus it wasn't really the woman's fault for her current appearance, she was raped by Poseidon in Athena's temple and wrongly punished for it after all…" Naruto thought as they got ready for the picture, not directly looking at Medusa's eyes but around her.

"Come now young man, turn those beautiful grey and blue eyes over here…. They look so familiar, like an acquaintance I used to know…" She urged the blonde as he was still running the possibilities in his head.

"Trapping her here would just keep her in this place and would take to much time, killing her current body won't do anything but haver her after us like her sisters…. Well, there is lifting her curse but how she will respond is unknown though the woman would be grateful. Maybe even grateful enough to ally with us when the war comes? She has been around for many years, so her knowledge would be invaluable…" Making his choice Naruto looked straight at the woman, posing a question.

"Let me ask you something. What would you do if you were no longer a monster?" Taken aback from the sudden question Medusa looked to the blonde with a questioning gaze.

"I-I'm sorry dear but these old ears-"

"I know what you are Medusa, you don't have to try and hide it." Naruto said, getting Mic to thumb his pockets ready to pull out anything.

She sighed, "Oh, what gave me away. I thought I was a rather convincing old Mortal woman."

"Eeeeh, I give you a solid five out of ten. You had the manners down but you have the look all wrong and you hiss every time you talk so that kind of ruins it." Wade said with his hands waving as he talked.

"Not to mention she has snake scales on her arms." A deep voice pointed out in Wade's head.

"YEAH! What's up with that? She could have at least hid those things, she's made it waaaay to easy to tell that she's a monster." Added a squeaky voice in Wade's mind getting him to nod at their points.

"Really, Auntie Em? I would of thought you could have not given such obvious clues as to who you are. The petrified victims with such fearful expressions, the lack of eye contact to due a veil, the scales on you arms that any observant person can see, not to mention the hissing. Really it wasn't hard to figure out. Still, that doesn't answer my question." Naruto said waiting for her answer as she looked him over, her eyes piercing his through the veil as she tried to see where he was going with his questioning.

"I don't see how that really is important seeing as you're going to be part of my collection soon." She said as she moved closer to them only to stop as a pistol was pointed straight at her head with twin katanas at her throat and what looked like a very odd glowing gun pointing at her heart.

"It matters because I can lift the curse set upon you." Her eyes widened but glared at the blonde for such a lie.

"You're lying, there's no way some child can lift the curse of a Goddess." Naruto chuckled at that as his eyes seemed to flash completely red for a second before turning to normal.

"Oh you will find out that I am more than what you see before you. Think of this as a child righting the wrongs of their parent." Smirking he began to chant, an Old and ominous groan of words leaving his lips as Medusa shook and shuddered. Her snakes hissed in pain and alarm as one by one they exploded in little bursts of gold dust changing into green locks of hair.

"W-what… Who… Are you?!" She questioned as she felt the changes grow, her body was on fire as her organ shifted and disappeared to be formed into smaller more human ones. Scales chipped and fell to the ground as her yellow slitted eyes widened, changing into amber colored ones. Falling to the ground she grew smaller, her dress becoming nothing more than an oversized weight set upon her.

Naruto smiled, "I am a Demigod. As to who I am, well, I am Naruto Uzumaki. Welcome to the world of Humanity once again Medusa."

Soft amber eyes looked up through the veil as small, human hands moved to touch her smooth skin.

"I-I'm…. Human? After so long…" Her now soft, harmonious voice sounded in a quiver as she could feel her curves. Her soft, skin… Her hair…. all as she could remember…

Naruto put away his weapon just as the woman tackld him to the ground. His comrades made to attack her only to see her hold onto their leader with tears running down her beautiful face. Their hearts being unable to allow them to hurt the woman as she cried into the blondes chest.

Naruto smiled softly as he held her close, "Shhh, it's alright… It's alright…" He soothed her as he combed his hand through her emerald locks getting repeated 'thank you's' from her.

"So boss, what are we going to do with her? Take her with us or something?" Mic asked as he scratched his head at this new development. Honestly his friend could be as ruthless as they come but he could be so kind hearted other times, he just didn't understand him sometimes.

"Hot lady coming with us? I have no problems with this!" Wade said looking her over as he could only see some of her through the now oversized dress. Medusa looked up into Naruto's eyes seeming to pose the question.

"I don't see why not, so long as she wishes to come with us that is." She nodded, unable to say anything as her emotions overtook her. She was finally human again, she wasn't about to stay in this place filled with her past deeds.

"Alright then, it's decided. Welcome to the family Medusa." He smiled as he planted a soft kiss on her forehead getting a blush from the woman at the action. Picking up the now smaller Medusa Naruto walked back to the car. She seemed to be 5'5 from his estimations of her height than when she was about 6'4 in her monster form. She was hunched over so of course no one could tell her real height unless they paid attention to how she walked and how she would move.

Mic looked at his phone answering the call, "Yes?... Uh huh… Really?... Well alright then… Yeah we have it under control, thanks for the information." Pocketing his phone Mic went over to Naruto to tell him what he was informed about.

Putting Medusa in the back of the car with Wade, Naruto turned to Mic as he approached, "Everything alright?"

"HQ just phoned me, said to watch our backs. Something is watching Jackson, something big. Something that may cause us problems." Naruto hummed in thought rubbing his chin.

"Any idea on what it is?" He asked his friend.

Mic shook his head, "None whatsoever. They said they'll phone in when they have more information, for now we just have to watch our backs."

"Hehehehe, nice~ We may be able to get some action out of this boring mission!" Wade exclaimed with excitement.

"Well, may as well retrace our steps. The target shouldn't be far from us." Naruto said as Mic nodded at that.

"Just need to place a scanner here for caution's sake. They may come here while we are away." Naruto motioned for Mic to go ahead. Rifling through his pockets Mic pulled out a small, grey box. Pulling back his arm the teen threw the box on top of the building. Once on top of the building the box let forth blue beams of light in a large box formation highlighting everything in the lot as well as everything in the building.

"Perimeter set. Engaging Watch Mode." The box mechanically sounded off as the beams stopped.

Smirking Mic got into the car, "Alright ready to go."

Setting his hands on the wheel Naruto pulled out of the lot with another destination in mind.

A few minutes later a group of people approached the building, hunger evident in their eyes as they went to the building.

"Mmmm, I could use a burger." One of them said as the other male bleated in protest.

"No way, I'm not eating animals!" The blonde female of the group rolled her eyes at her friend.

"Come on Grover, there's bound to be some tin cans in there."

"But… This place reeks of monsters.." He muttered as he looked around the area cautiously.

"That's just the Old crones stuffing up your nose, come on I'm starving!" Percy waved off his friend as he moved to the now abandoned Gnome Emporium.

Above the questers a set of eyes watched them, its jaw set in a snarl as it guarded them.

Just as its master ordered….

"Hmmm, seems things are going along as expected." A deep voice pointed out as it looked over the pool. Pictures, people, times, places… All as it has been foretold. With one thing coming up in particular.

"Honestly, such stupid beings these Greeks are… They aren't the only ones that can foresee a Prophecy…" It chuckled as text began to form in the waters.

Shadows lurk, creep and crawl

Through their spite, Gods shall fall

All shall bend, to the Mind

For its Mother Death will find

Heavens will weep for the vengeance they reap

For the Shadows Age, all shall keep

"Hmhmhm, yes… Seems The End is near for them. Well my Legacy, show me what you are capable of." A smile broke over it's lips as the pool showed a certain blonde driving down the road. Eyes set in a thoughtful gaze as millions of thoughts seemed to play out through them.

The wheels of Fate are turning…..

(KY walks onto the stage) Well another chapter is here. I hope you all enjoyed, now I have read over the reviews and it seems that with the number of characters people seem to be confused on what they look like and what not. Well, when the team is physically involved I will provide a more detailed description but for now I will be giving the stats so to speak on our people so far at the end of the author notes. Their history with Naruto will be revealed so their basic stats will only be shown, can't give away to much this early in the story.

Now you all can probably guess who Naruto's parent is but his history is a little more complicated than having a Godly parent that was never there. What this entails is a completely different way of the world, as you have seen by the prophecy. Well lots of tings happened: things were stolen, cookies were eaten, contracts were given, and monsters were turned into beautiful maidens. What's going to happen next? Who's the one watching Naruto? What's guarding Percy? Are the Gods going to get a clue?

Well you know the drill, you'll just have to read more to find out. Also I would like to make two announcements: One, I have a new poll out on the updates I've been doing. Do you guys want it to stay like it always been, random in updates or do you want a schedule to be announced for which stories to be updated next? Second, I will be away from my computer for two weeks time so I won't be updating in that time. Now then as always thanks for reading and thanks to Jebest4781 for the help in the makings of this chapter.

This is KY and I will see you all next time, Later! (KY Disappears in a burst of bats)
