Chapter 13

Naruto walked through the camp as both Silena and Clarisse followed him. "So who else is coming with us?" Clarisse asked.

Naruto sent a glance in her direction before looking forward. "You will meet them shortly" He replied.

Naruto saw both Bill and Annabeth in two different parts of the camp and it looked like they were both waiting for him. Naruto approached the satyr. "Bill, are you ready?"

The satyr looked over at the blonde who approached him. "Yeah got my pipes and everything" The satyr said.

Naruto nodded. "Then let's go" He said as he then went to go get Annabeth.

Annabeth saw him walk over. "Are we leaving now?" She asked as Naruto could hear excitement in her voice, she must have been waiting to go on a quest for a long time now.

"Shortly, I got to tell the last one we are leaving" He said.

Annabeth then noticed Clarisse. "Clarisse" She said almost tonelessly.

"Wise girl" Clarisse responded in the same tone.

Naruto inwardly sighed as Silena sent him a concerned look seeing a slight change in expression. "Are you okay Naruto?"

"I believe I made a mistake" He said as the war children continued their stare off.

Silena giggled before she explained. "They sort of have a rivalry if I can even call it that, I think it's because of them being children of Ares and Athena"

"I see" Naruto said. "You stay here and watch these two with Bill"

He turned and started to leave. "I'm going to get our last member now"

Walking towards the workshop alone he not only planned on getting Shane but also getting the fake helm as well as discuss the team with him.

Then there was the fact that they needed to get there stuff if they didn't already.

"Shane" Naruto called out as the son of Hephaestus turned to see the blonde walk in.

"Ah Naruto your back" The brown haired teen said as he held up a helm. "I finished it as you can tell"

"That was pretty fast"

Shane had a look of pride as he held the helm. "You shouldn't doubt the ability of a blacksmith" He said as he tossed him the helm.

Naruto held the helm in his hands before he sealed it away in a storage seal he kept with him. "Thank you Shane" He said. "We are leaving"

"Leaving?"

"Yes we have a quest and I would like your assistance"

"Of course leader" Shane said. "Just let me get ready"

"Also there is one more thing"

Shane stopped and turned to Naruto. "And what is that?"

"The people we are traveling with do not share our ideals" He said. "However we can possible convert them"

"Ah I see" Shane said. "So it's all confidential"

Naruto nodded. "That is correct" He said as he turned to walk away. "I will also fill you in on the situation and plans"

"So for now call me Naruto around the others and to keep things between us" He told Shane as he left but not before telling him one more thing. "And also you can call me Leader-sama or Naruto-sama"

"Okay Leader-sama" Shane said trying out the honorific. "Um…where do I meet you?"

"The group of five outside with the satyr"

"Alright" The messy brown haired teen said watching the blonde teen leave.

Naruto walked back to the group. "Where did you go?" Both war children asked as they then stared at each other.

"To get our last member, he will be here shortly" He told them. "Does everyone have everything if not then go do so, those who have wait here for the other members"

"I got everything" Annabeth said.

"Same here" Bill also said.

"I'll be right back" Clarisse said as she left while Silena grabbed Naruto.

"We need to say goodbye to Lacy" She said dragging Naruto off to their cabin.

Once they approached the cabin Lacy instantly went over to her brother and latched on to him. "Where were you?" She asked before giving him a small frown with a pout. "Were you training again?"

"No I wasn't training, I was getting ready for a quest" He said.

"You're leaving?"

"I am" He said before kneeling down. "…I'll be back soon"

"You promise?"

"I promise"

Lacy then smiled as he stood up. "Do you want me to help you pack?"

"I'm fine but you should ask Silena" He said as the young girl walked over to Silena.

Naruto checked everything on him and nodded to himself as he kept everything in one scroll he had on him, he then checked his personal trunk for anything useful that may have appeared. According to one of his siblings the trunk would be teleported to your residence once you stopped coming to the camp.

The only thing in the personal, magically locked trunk was that note as he already sealed the mask away. Closing the trunk he walked over to the door as he held his scroll before putting it securely away.

"You ready?" He asked as his sisters, Silena and Lacy, walked over to the door.

Silena nodded before looking at Lacy. "We will come back soon Lacy" She said as Lacy hugged her sister.

Lacy then hugged Naruto as he just looked down at the young girl hugging him. He then done something he hadn't really done before, he hugged back.

Lacy's eyes widened as he hugged her back before a smile appeared on her face, Silena smiled at the sight. "Thank you for helping him Lacy, you too Silena" Silena looked around the cabin in search of the voice.

"Was that mom?" Silena quietly asked herself before noticing that the two stopped.

"Let's go" He said as they left the cabin.

The half siblings walked together until they got to the meeting point with Annabeth and Bill patiently waiting for them.

"You two ready?" Annabeth asked.

Silena nodded as Naruto looked over to see Clarisse approaching them as well as Shane from another direction.

"I'm ready to go" Clarisse said as she walked up to the group.

Shane smiled at Naruto who nodded. "I'm ready if you guys are"

"Two children of Aphrodite, a daughter of Ares, a satyr, a son of Hephaestus and lastly a daughter of Athena…" Annabeth noted. "It's quite varied"

"Hmm I guess it is" Silena said knowing her brother's reasoning for picking them or at least a guess of his reasoning.

"Three guys and three girls" Shane said. "Kind of like the six elder Olympians"

"Hmm your right" Annabeth said. "So what is the quest Naruto?"

"I will inform you once we leave camp" Naruto said. "Now let's go"

The group then started to leave camp after informing Chiron that they were leaving. Once they made a fair distance away from camp Naruto turned to the group.

"Why did we stop?" Bill asked.

"To tell you the quest if you haven't heard it" He said getting their attention. "We are to retrieve the lightning bolt before the summer solstice"

As soon as the words left his lips everyone was shocked, they didn't expect that!

"Wait lightning bolt?" Annabeth said as they recovered from their shock.

"You're telling us we have to retrieve the lightning bolt before the summer solstice!" Clarisse yelled. "Was the lightning bolt stolen or something?"

"I believe it was" Naruto said crossing his arms as he looked at the group with a look that held no emotion. "It is our job to retrieve it and possibly stop a war that could break out"

"A war, what do you mean by that?" Bill asked.

"Zeus would probably think that another god or goddess stole his bolt, presumably Poseidon" Naruto said. "…or Hades but probably Poseidon"

"Then how come we are searching for it?" Silena asked.

Naruto turned to her. "I do not know" He lied smoothly. "It was probably due to my…unique background"

"The question is…will you follow me?" Naruto said as he held his hand out to the group.

Shane being the quietest of the group was the first one to place his hand on top of Naruto's hand. "I'll follow you" He said but what he truly said to Naruto was. "I will follow you to the end Naruto-sama"

Silena was the second one to place her hand on top. "You're my brother, as your sister I have to look out for you and Lacy would be devastated if anything happened to you" She said.

Annabeth was the next one to place her hand on the pile. "I always wanted to go on a quest, this one won't stop me"

Clarisse followed soon after. "I can't let wise girl here show me up" She said as Annabeth threw her a frown. "I'm in!" She grinned.

Bill placed his hand on the pile of hands being the last one to do so. "I got a bad feeling about this" He thought as the slight feeling returned. "I'll follow you Naruto, I know you probably don't need my help but I'll help anyway I can"

"I will definitely need your help Bill" Naruto said before looking at the others. "And thank you all. I still haven't thought of a name yet"

"That's fine" Shane said. "We will figure it out later"

"That's right" Silena said. "We should focus on getting the lightning bolt"

"I suppose your right" He said. "Let's go and get the bolt back"

The group then proceeded to continue through the woods. Shane was walking by Naruto's side while Silena was on the other side. Annabeth and Clarisse were in front of them and seemed to be bickering while Bill was slightly behind the two war children.

"Are you okay?" Silena asked her brother who released a sigh.

"I don't usually regret my choices but…I'm starting to regret bringing those two together" He said.

Silena giggled before telling her brother that it would be fine. "It'll be fine" She said. "It doesn't go out of hand just what you're seeing now and back at camp, it could be worse"

"You're right" He said.

Silena chuckled causing Naruto to look at her and tilt his head slightly. "What's so funny?" He asked.

"Oh it's just while they argue and see themselves as enemies and rivals sometimes they are actually pretty good friends…even if they don't know it yet"

"I see" Naruto said as he listened to his sister's words before turning his gaze to the two war teens in front of him.

"I'm going to catch up to them" Silena said as she started to jog slightly after the other half of the group.

Shane turned to Naruto as the other four were in front of them. "So Leader-sama, what is the plan?" He asked once they were out of ear shot.

"For this quest we simply wait"

"What?"

"We wait Shane"

"I know that but why? Aren't we searching?"

Naruto pulled his hand out in front of Shane as the two stopped making the other four continue onwards.

"I shall tell you my plans" He said. "Ares has both the bolt and the helm"

"He does?" Shane asked. "How did you know?"

"I used my charmsight or charmview on Luke, turns out he stole it but Ares took it from him" He said.

Shane nodded. "That was quite lucky, but what is charmsight and charmview?"

"Charmspeak performed through my eyes"

Shane's jaw dropped at the mention of casting charmspeak through the eyes. "That's…that's amazing"

Naruto allowed a smirk of pride to appear briefly on his face. "Now Ares will come to us since we are on a quest for it possible to start a war"

"But what do we do until then?" Shane asked.

"We are to find the twin goddesses of lightning and thunder, Astrape and Bronte" He said. "And someone to give the helm replica a similar ability"

"I am going to give them fakes while I keep the real ones" He told Shane who was about to ask why.

"What is your plan Leader-sama?"

"My plan is to bring true peace to this world" He told Shane. "Ares is responsible for the pointless wars, nearly each god and goddess committed horrible crimes. They need to be removed from this world for peace to truly happen"

"However some will be spared and hopefully join us and possibly get them to turn on each other" The blonde leader said. "They hurt mortals time and time again"

"So we are taking out the gods for good?"

"Not only the gods the titans as well, those who side with Kronos" He told the son of Hephaestus. "I will also be taking out the goddess of love"

"You're going to kill your own mother?" Shane asked.

"Death could be too good for her, I deal with that when that comes" Naruto said as he continued to tell Shane his plans in detail. He did think back to his original goals, first he just wanted to return the his home, then it turned into achieving peace by killing Aphrodite and Ares, then finally achieving true peace by killing off a majority if not all the gods.

His goals have changed while he was here, his alliance was growing slowly but nicely, he just needed to convert them to his side.

He explained everything to Shane about his true peace plan and Shane was all for it, he swore to follow him to the end and that was what Shane was going to do.

Naruto also needed to get his followers and companions up to speed in terms of strength in order to fight the gods and titans and he also needed to get stronger himself. The blonde also needed to tell them of his plans once they decided to truly join him.

After telling Shane his plan in detail to achieve true peace by eliminating the gods and titans they proceeded to form plans. "So eliminate the gods to achieve peace?" Shane asked. "It's true that they hurt mortals again and again, so by killing them we set humanity free"

Shane turned to Naruto with a serious look. "As I said before I will follow you to the end" He said with conviction. "For true peace I will follow you Leader-sama"

Naruto allowed a small smile to appear before they both heard a voice. "Hey you two" Silena called out.

"Come on!" Annabeth also yelled.

"Sorry, sorry" Shane said quickening his pace while Naruto along slightly increased his pace.

Now they needed to find the two goddesses of lightning and thunder, the gears of fate were turning and the Saviour of this World was going to bring true peace and this was only the first step towards that goal.
