-1 day until departure-

Naruto stood in the forge late at night and hammered away at his project. This would truly put his skill as a warrior to a test if this proved to work. Already there was several complete sets already made. He just hoped that they did the job and didn't screw him or the other's over. Over on the wall of armor sets there were six sets of armor.(1) The first suit of armor was a silver-blue color with a set of howling maws on the breast. The waist guard had a silver overlay that was split into three sections. For the wrist guards, the design held aspects of the chest and waist. There was three slots that held purple gems that had been embedded into the breastplate, wrist guards and the waist lining.

The second suit was of similar design, but it was colored red. It had a olden trim laid into the border of the armor with three red gems that had a golden carving etched into them. This armor also had three red gems in the breast, waist, and wrist pieces.

The third suit of armor was a bronze set of armor that had a green-blue aura surrounding it while the design showed a intersecting gold overlay upon a strong cross-forged steel. The shoulder guards had a extra shielding to increase the protection of the neck as there was a second one installed. The waist guard had a stacked bronze plate with three plates stacked into two separate columns. The wrists had a extension near the elbows to add just a bit more protection as it folded out towards the air. There was three gems embedded into the armor of purple color as well.

The fourth suit of armor was of similar design, but rather than focus on bronze, this suit of armor was crafted with a bold silver in design with high shoulder guards with intricate designs carved into the steel. The waist guard had a similar design of stacked silver plates with three plates stacked into two separate columns. The wrists guards were also extended to provide extra protection as the end was folded outwards as well. There was three blue gems placed into the armor pieces.

The fifth suit of armor had two golden wolves in the breastplate jumping at one another with a high neck guard built in the back of the breastplate. The waist-guard had a golden design that seemed to spiral in two different directions with a spartan-like design behind the main guard. The wrist guards had intricate gold designs that resembled the sun and even had a silver outline around the hem. This also had a set of gold gems placed into each piece of armor that had silver carvings placed into them to increase the design.

The sixth suit of armor was a blue scale-mail design. The Breast plate had no additions placed upon it and was of simple crisscrossing the scales. The difference between this shoulder guard design and the previous ones was that the additional guard was placed under the first shoulder guard to protect the upper arm rather than the neck of the wearer. The waist protector was a scale design much like the chest, but it was built in three separate pieces before the three scale plates were connected with golden rivets on strong leather. The wrists guards were also extended to provide extra protection as the end was folded outwards as well. There were three gem slots that held red gems that had silver designs carved into them.

The final suit of armor was a delicate suit to craft. This was the armor meant for Zoe Nightshade. When it was done, it would truly set her apart from the rest of the hunters of Lady Artemis. Seeing as it was incomplete, the reveal would say it all.

Percy, Clarisse, Thalia, Grover, Zoe, Grover and himself, that is who the armors are made for.

-Day of Departure-

Chiron, Clarisse, Grover, Thalia, Phoebe, Zoe all looked at the covered stands in confusion. Clarisse held up a finger, "Can you please explain why we are out here? And just what is with the cloak and dagger stuff with the covers?" she asked.

"Where is Perseus Jackson?" Naruto asked, "I would have assumed he would have come seeing as he is part of this quest and one of these is his." he said.

"Prissy went missing sometime last night and nobody has seen him since." Clarisse scowled.

Naruto groaned as he rubbed his forehead, "Seriously, this is why in Sparta they beat obedience into us as children. The fact he is not in the camp shows just ho insubordinate he is." Naruto said.

"Well, it's a good thing this isn't Sparta then." Phoebe said.

"Silence woman, your council is unwanted. When I require your council, then I will ask for it." Naruto said.

Before Zoe could speak up, Clarisse clapped her hands, "Ok, lets just see what is under the sheets alright." she said.

"Very well, feat your eyes on my latest creations for questing." Naruto said as he pulled a rope that ripped all the sheets off the stands to reveal all the suits of armor.

"Oh wow, this is beautiful." Thalia said running her hands over the red suit of armor.

"Thank you. I had much help from the sons and daughters of the Smith God, but there is more to these suits of armor than you might think." he told them before he pulled Clarisse over to the red suit of armor, "This one is yours." he told her before moving Thalia to the one resembling the red, "And this one belongs to you." he told his half sister. Grabbing Grover he moved him over to the one with the green-blue aura, "I crafted this one personally for you Grover Underwood." he told the satyr. He motioned to the gold and silver suits of armor, "Huntresses of Artemis, I crafted these with your best skills kept in mind. Choose one." he offered.

"What about those two?" Grover asked as he looked over his suit in wonder.

"The blue scaled one belongs to me while the wolf inlaid one is Perseus Jackson's." Naruto told the satyr.

"Oh. I guess that makes sense." he said shrugging.

"I would either place the armor on or place it in the van. But seeing as I trust my armor I am suiting it upon my flesh." Naruto said as he swiftly placed the armor on and strapped it in place in precisely three minutes.

"Alright, since we've established Prissy isn't here, let's get going. I don't know about any of you but I think standing around with our thumbs up our asses isn't going to finish this quest." she said.

"So, who's driving this... vehicle?' Naruto asked as he looked at the van in front of him.

"I shalt be the one to driveth the van." Zoe said as she climbed into the driver seat.

Clarisse shrugged and climbed into the back of the van as Naruto climbed into the front passenger seat while the rest of the campers climbed into the back. When the door to the van closed, Zoe started the car.

Phoebe quickly buckled up causing Grover to look at her, "Why are you buckling up, this is a van?" he asked.

"You'll see." she said cringing.

XxX

"LOOK OUT!" Clarisse cried in panic.

"PEDESTRIAN, PEDESTRIAN!" Grover bleated out.

"BY ZEUS'S BEARD, WHAT KIND OF MADNESS IS THIS, STOP THIS VEHICLE OF DAMNATION!" Naruto pleaded as Zoe swerved around another vehicle and into the ditch.

"BY THE GOD'S WHO TAUGHT YOU HOW TO DRIVE?!" Thalia cried out.

"It was in WWII where she learned to drive. She had to dodge enemy mortal shells as she saved children from both sides." Phoebe said calmly, despite the jostling of the van.

"I STILL DON'T SEE HOW YOU'RE SO CLAM IN THIS SITUATION!" Naruto cried back at her.

"It's not that bad." Phoebe said.

"YOU'RE CRAZY!" the other's cried at her.

"Seriously, it's not so bad. I don't see ho-BARK-and silence ensued the cabin of the van. "Ok, I take that back." she said.

"That poor puppy." Thalia said in terror.

"I am never riding shotgun again if she's driving." Clarisse said.

"Then you should have asked how's her driving next time." Grover bleated.

"I will." she responded.

"I shalt never taketh any of you on a trip again Phoebe." Zoe said sourly.

"Says the one that ran over a dog." Phoebe retorted smugly.

"I hate you." Zoe said in a dry tone.

"Pull the van over, right now!" Clarisse commanded.

"Ugh, fine, as thou wishes." Zoe said as she yanked the wheel and pulled into the parking lot of some strange building (At least to Naruto) that had a giant stone man sitting in a chair. The Smithsonian Museum, the second largest museum in the world that detailed most of america's history.

Naruto unclipped his seatbelt and jumped out of the vehicle, "Blessed Apollo, thank you for bringing salvation in my time of dire need." he said falling to his knees.

"Oh it's so dramatic." Phoebe snorted.

"Says you." Clarisse sighed as she stepped out of the van.

"So, now what?" Zoe asked.

"I think a short walk around should do us some good. Get something to eat, calm the mind. You know, the basics." Grover bleated out.

"The satyr has a point, but make sure you leave your armors by the van, but keep them hidden." Naruto commanded as something powerful entered his sensory range, "Keep alert, there is something here." he told them. However, rather than take his own armor off, he simply proceeded to walk off.

"Hey, I thought you said to leave our armor behind?" Grover asked.

"I was talking about you guys. There is something I have to check out. Just don't wonder off to far." he told them as he called his hand rose up and he summoned his frost ax to his hand. Seeing as his blades were always strapped to his back, he need not call them to his side.

"But why are you taking all your weapons?" Grover asked.

"Just in case, now get going. I shall search the area just in case there are enemies." he said as he walked away from the group of demigods and satyr and Hunters. He, unfortunately, needed to see just what this feeling was. If it was a enemy, he'd kill them then.

And without even waiting, the Ghost of Sparta crouched down and leapt to the air with a powerful leap that sent him to the roof of a large building. It was also conveniently named National Air and Space Museum and unfortunately our protagonist is a ancient Spartan that read Greek. He was only taking a few steps as he ran across them before he used his divine energy (As the people called in in the age of gods) to improve how high and how far he jumped. As he got to the museum, the flapping of wings appeared in the air making him halt and look around in the sky and around the nearby buildings.

After a moment of searching, he saw the figure again from last time though this time it was more visible then before and he could make it out. He recognized the shape immediately; it was a black Pegasus with a five foot long wings on each side that that looked glossy from the morning sun. However on the back he noticed a figure. He could not quite make them out since their head was hiding in the hair and neck of the Pegasus but Naruto could not help but feel angry when he saw it, 'So, pErseus Jackson decided to leave before the labor officially begun. This is not something a demigod should be doing, even if he is the son of the Sea God, and it very unbecoming of one. Mistress Ichylda would have his head on a platter if she had seen something like that.' the blonde thought to himself.

He thought before he ran over to the entrance of the giant museum and landed on the steps leading up to the entrance.

On the entrance door there was a big sign saying CLOSED FOR PRIVATE EVENT. Naruto raised an eyebrow at it but knew this had something to do with what the energy he sensed earlier. He ignored he sigh and threw it away before he walked forward and pushed the door open while breaking the lock. Naruto stepped in and immediately looked around the giant entrance hall to the museum. A large replica of an African Elephant stood proudly to his left as he walked on the white and black tiled floor.

As he walked along the hallway of the museum the scent of the ocean hit him and he inwardly growled and he clenched his fist, 'I am going to kill him, bring him back from the Underworld and then kill him all over again.' Naruto thought as he followed the scent. He continued down the path and stopped momentarily when he saw a giant skeleton of a dinosaur making him whistle a little in amazement, 'That is so cool. I wonder what they were like when they were alive.' He thought. They would also make one awesome war animal to take into battle.

He walked forward and followed the scent but he stopped when he heard voices coming from behind him. Crouching down he leapt up into the air and used his control over the wind to keep him afloat in the air above the exhibit, hiding himself from view as the voices got louder. He waited patiently for a moment before two slightly bigger than humans Cyclops walked past in some armor with large clubs in their hands. Both looked mean and nasty but they were no problem to Naruto. Drawing his blades he waited. As the two monsters walked underneath him he drew his arms back and slung the two blades downward in a arc of fire that sliced the two into twine.

He could only nod in satisfaction when the two cyclopes fell into matching piles of golden dust. Placing his blades away Naruto slowly lowered himself to the ground and collected the skulls of his enemies that remained behind as his trophy, 'Since those Cyclops are here then it means I am definitely in the right place.' he thought to himself before looking around to make sure there hadn't been any other onlookers. Upon seeing nobody else, the blonde nodded in satisfaction before he decided to continue down the large hallway. He walked for a few moments before he began sensing a couple of energy signatures up ahead.

One he recognized and made him narrow his eyes, another felt like a monster and from the scent in the air smelt like one as well. But there was another there as well and it stood out from the rest. It was large, extremely large. The only time he had felt a power like that was with Lord Ares but this felt endless like their power did not seem to have some kind of stopping point.

It felt older as well and it smelt potent too. It made him shudder when he felt it because it meant whoever was in there was extremely powerful.

'This one, the unending pool of energy, this must be the one responsible for Lady Artemis going missing. If I can force some answers from him, then the mission shall be that much easier to complete before the Solstice.' Naruto thought to himself.

Following the scents and power signatures, it eventually led him to a large room that had a second balcony ringing around the room. Naruto hid behind a few chairs and lowered his power to the point where no one would be able to feel it. Around at certain points of the balcony were about a dozen mortal bodyguards along with a couple of monsters all stationed around the entrances. He guesses that the two Cyclops he killed were the ones that were meant to guard the entrance that he arrived in.

Looking down into the center of the hall were three people. Two were standing while the third was sitting on a make shift throne, his face and most of his body being obscured from view but Naruto recognized him as the one who at the large, power signature and the one that he had to be careful around.

One of the people standing he recognized immediately. It was Luke Castellan, the traitorous son of Hermes and the one that pulled the wool over everyone's eyes back at camp. He had heard about how he had turned traitor and nearly killed several of the campers a year beforehand. He'd die the next possible chance. Shame he didn't bring his bow, he would have loved to play 'Hit the apple' right now. And the apple in this instance would definitely be the boys head. However, when Naruto looked at him he frowned a little at the state he was in. He was pale, extremely pale and his hair had lost all of its shine that showed he was alive and youthful. His eyes had dark rings around them indicating he had not been sleeping well.

'What in Lord Hades' happened to him?' Naruto thought but then turned his attention towards the other standing person standing next to Luke.

She looked like a regular girl of African American descent and had dark curly hair that went past her shoulders and reminded him in a way of Medusa's hair with the way it curled and looked like snakes. She was wearing regular civilian clothes and had this sexy, sly look about her like she was not afraid to use her gifts as a woman to get what she wanted.

Despite her appearance, he could smell that she was a monster but what kind exactly he was unsure. 'She must be a kind of monster that can alter her appearance, like the Furies.' He thought before he tried again to get a good look at the man sitting on the make shift throne.

All that he could make out was that he was wearing some kind of business like pants with black expensive shoes. From the hand that he could see he saw he had coppery colored skin that in a way reminded him of Zoe's skin tone.

The man on the throne coughed as he cleared his throat before his voice called out.

"Well, where are they?" He asked as his powerful voice rang out through the hall and made shivers go down Naruto's spine again.

As soon as Naruto heard it he narrowed his eyes at him. While the voice did not sound very malicious, it was a voice that demanded respect and held a lot of power in it.

Though he glared at the hidden man because from those few words he knew almost immediately that this was the guy that was both in charge of this group and the one responsible for Lady Artemis' kidnapping. He took a silent deep breath keeping his anger in check as his eyes flashed red for a moment before he managed to keep in control. 'As much as I want to rip this guy apart, I will need to wait and see if he has any information that's worth having. Plus I can't make a mistake from someone of this power.'

"They are here, General." Luke's voice said. Even his voice sounded weaker then what he had expected.

"I know that you fool. I want to know how many there are? I want to know my enemies before they arrive on my doorstep." The powerful man said as he leaned forward.

Naruto tried to get a glimpse of his face but again his face was obscured from view still. Though he did see that the man had dark hair. "I'm sorry my Lord. They are over in the National Air and Space museum but from what we understand there is one missing from the quest." Luke answered.

The man looked at Luke with narrowed eyes before he waved his right hand, "Who is with them? Name the ones that are here you incompetent little fool." He bellowed making Luke take a step back. Naruto thought the very sound of the voice would be strong enough to knock Luke down.

"Yes my lord. There is satyr with them, Grove Underwood who I know from back at camp. He is useless for a satyr and his woodland magic is far lower than a normal satyr. He won't be a problem." Luke told the hidden man. Naruto growled at the description Luke gave as the man motioned for him to continue. Though not very strong, Grover still had aptitude for his gifts. To talk so rudely about somebody like that didn't sit right in Naruto's books.

"Another is a daughter of Ares himself. Before I left the camp she was very skilled, her only skills being her using a electric spear. However since then she has improved by major leaps and bounds apparently. My spy has said that she has actually been given improved armor and weapons by some newcomer."

The man grunted. "A daughter of Ares has become a great known warrior? Warriors in this world really have dropped in standards. The only talent they have is her mother's talents in spreading her legs and giving pleasure." He said as a throaty chuckle escaped his throat. Luke nodded as if he was just trying to kiss up to the big man while Naruto looked ready to rip all of them into pieces while his eyes flashed red again and this time anyone who dared to describe his friend and ally in such a way then was going to get buried.

"Continue."

"The other is a huntress with a silver circlet around her head." Luke said but Naruto heard the man growl.

"There is no need. That one I know too well. Make sure that she dies. I don't want that little traitor to live beyond this week."

Now Naruto's anger was replaced with curiosity. How does this guy no Zoe? Does Zoe know this guy? Did something happen between them to get this kind of antagonistic feelings towards her. Whatever Zoe did to this man, it made him want to see her dead at his feet.

"Of course my lord. The only other with them is the daughter of Zeus. She was recognized due to her dressing habits and her Aegis shield. It seems she truly was revived from the tree."

"Good, this is good." The man said as he looked down towards Luke. "Now my boy, the first thing we must do is isolate the half-blood Thalia. The monster we seek will then come to her."

"So she is the key to potentially bring down Olympus?" Luke asked while the woman beside him looked at the powerful man in a flirty manor as if trying to get his attention.

"She is. She is most likely the one of the prophecy and therefore bringing her to our side will be the best way to ensure our victory."

'A prophecy? Just what is this prophecy?' Naruto though since other then the gods who obviously knew it, Chiron and Annabeth were also aware of it.

"Out of curiosity who is the person that is missing from the group." He asked with his voice full of authority.

Luke winced a little. "The other is the special demigod my Lord. It appears there is a Spartan son of Zeus that is descended of both Poseidon and Hades. It has been discovered the while he is out of date for the era, he is the one who is leading the quest. He is said to be very strong my lord, he could be a threat to your plans." Luke said as the man leaning back into his throne while his fingers tapped on the throne.

"And are the rumors true?" the man asked.

"I believe they are. Apparently a couple hours into his first day at the camp he slew the offspring monster between Zeus and her though I have heard he did have help in slaying the beast." Luke told the man.

The big man said nothing and tapped the throne arm, "He could potentially be a threat, I see that. With those damn Olympian abilities granted to him through his bloodline, it makes him unpredictable. With him here it makes things difficult, it gives him even more a reason to fight us and it gives him more of a purpose then the huntress." the man stated heatedly.

At least he had been considered a threat, and they had ade the correct assumption, for a Spartan is a true threat regardless of stature.

"I will come up with a way to get rid of him but if that fails then I will get rid of him myself." the man commented.

"What of the huntress Zoe-" luke tried to ask only to be interrupted.

"Do not speak her name." the man hissed out.

Luke swallowed and recoiled a little bit in fear. "S-sorry, General. I just-"

The General silenced him with a wave of his hand. "Let me show you my boy how we will bring the Hunters down. The Hunters are not as strong as they make themselves out to be. If we can take Artemis with little hassle then it means they will not be a problem. The lieutenant may try to save her but ultimately she will fail. "

Now Naruto's thoughts were confirmed. 'This is the man who took Lady Artemis. That means this guy has to be a Titan of some kind. It's the only explanation.'

The powerful man stared down towards he woman who was now looking at Luke with a flirty look. "Do you have the teeth?"

The woman looked up at him and gave him a flirty yet fanged look. Looking closer at the woman Naruto saw her teeth looked like fangs.

"I do General, they are right here." She said as she patted her back pocket on her left cheek while leaning forward a little, trying to show some of her cleavage to the all powerful man.

"Plant them." He said not even bothering with her attempts in trying to seduce him.

The woman huffed in annoyance before she turned around and began walking towards a big circle of dirt. It had large footprints in the dirt indicting that it was a previously an exhibit for some kind of large skeleton.

As Naruto leaned in from the side he now began to notice that the scent of the ocean was hitting his nose and looked over around to see where it was originating.

Looking over he noticed that down on the ground floor close to the circle of soil was a ripple in the air that he recognized as invisibility magic.

'He is in so much trouble.' He thought as Naruto gritted his teeth and silently began watching what the woman was doing. She took sharp white teeth out of the pot and pushed them into the soil. She smoothed them over while the General leaned forward a little.

"Ready General." She said as she picked up a small watering can that was next to the circle of soil.

"Excellent! Water them, and we will let them scent their prey."

The dark skinned woman nodded and began pouring a dark red liquid substance over the buried teeth.

The effect was instant as the soil erupted shooting soil everywhere as well as making the invisible demi god take a couple of steps back.

Naruto watched with baited breath to see what was coming out of the ground until a single sound came out and sounded out through the silent hall.

"Mew"

Naruto had to stop for a moment as he looked towards the dirt and did his best to not start laughing when he saw a couple of little kitten colored like a tiger with stripes down their backs push out of the ground and begin rolling around in the dirt while playing with each other.

Everyone in the room stared in disbelief while the General was practically shaking in his throne with rage and anger.

The General roared. "What is this? Cute cuddly kittens? Where did you find those teeth?"

The woman shook in her spot while trying to keep eye contact with the General. "I-I got them from him." she said pointing towards a guard stationed near the Generals throne.

"WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE TEETH?" He roared as the guard shaking walked towards him and bowed. His voice was shaky as he spoke.

"From the exhibit, sir! Just like you said. The saber-tooted tiger-" He started before the General brought his fist down on the edge of the arm on his throne. The slam rang out through the hall.

"No, you idiot! I said the tyrannosaurus! Gather up those-those infernal beasts and take them outside." He said towards the cyclopes who nodded its head furiously before it grabbed the kittens and took them away.

"You however." He said glaring at the guard at his feet before the General threw his hand forward and a beam of energy engulfed the poor guard. There as not even a scream as the beam faded away and showed that nothing remained of the guard. No bones or dust.

Naruto could not believe how this man treated his own subordinates. It kind of reminded him of Midas, the greedy king. If you couldn't give him coin then you had nothing of worth to live for. Deciding he had seen enough he left the hall just after the cyclopes had. He stayed silent as he stayed behind the monster. As Naruto and the Cyclopes exited the building Naruto used his ability to fly to get in the air but stopped just in time to catch sight of the disguised cyclops carrying the five kittens. Now normally, he would've just either ignored the sight or attacked and then left, but the kittens had something he couldn't get enough of.

Orange fur.

Orange fur.

...

'Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, MINE!' The Ghost of Sparta thought as he adjusted his footing and built energy up in his legs. Time for a Fry and Die!

Naruto managed to fly up almost twenty feet into the air and arced slightly before coming back towards the ground feet first. Using the small gap between his feet as a reticulated, Naruto aimed at the side of the cyclops' head. A second later, and his feet collided with the force of a freight train behind them thanks to gravity's intervention. The cyclops went flying and as a result, the kittens were dropped in the snow, mewing adorably out of freight.

Naruto grinned as he watched the cyclops soar into the nearest tree...and through it. That one would be waking up with a bad headache. The blonde's eyes looked down at the kittens and he grinned. Cute and Orange? That would be what his mother would call a 'win of epic proportions'.

Kneeling down, Naruto picked the closest one up and examined it. Two small fangs protruded from its upper jaw and came out over the bottom. Almost like a...no, that'd be stupid! Yes he had heard that they were Saber-Tooth-Tigers, but they had gone extinct roughly a decade before his conception. He had heard how the elders told stories on how the beasts could make even the bravest of Spartans cower in fear due to their ferocity in battle.

'The others may find this a bad idea, but I can't find myself to care right now!' Naruto mused as he began stroking the little cat's head and getting a purr in response. As much as he wanted to continue playing with the kitten he named Briares, after the Hekatonkheires of legend, Naruto knew that he had to get a move on. And so with another piece of leather and his wrist-wrappings, Naruto gathered the five kittens up, comfortably wrapped them up and put the new location of transport on the blanket he carried on his back. But not before he ripped a piece of his shirt off and used it to mark Briares as his.

XxX

A second later, Chiron looked down as a bundle appeared before him, moving and oddly enough mewing. Grabbing the piece of paper hastily pinned to the blanket by a knife, the centaur read the message before paling. To his fear, one of the kitten heads popped out and mewed at him.

Later that day, Chiron had gathered the entire camp to tell them what had happened, "What Mr. D told you was partially true. However!" Chiron would later proclaim after he revealed the kittens to the campers, "I did not, nor shall I ever, scream like a 'little girl' so don't go making rumors!" He then dispersed the remaining four kittens to the Athena Cabin, a gift specifically for Annabeth as she had been the first to greet him when he woke and to act as a cabin guard when older; the Ares Cabin, because they nearly demanded they have one, would then lend the cat to Hephaestus' cabin once grown; the Demeter and Aphrodite Cabin, for the same reason as Athena's new kitten; and the last kitten went to the Hunters of Artemis as a gift from their cousin. The Hermes and Apollo Cabins would share responsibility over Ranger until Naruto returned.

XxX

Back at the plot, Naruto resumed his journey to the Air and Space Museum, arriving through the doors and easily spotting his group. Thalia and Zoë were nearly butting heads, but Grover and for some reason Phoebe were holding them back. This struck him as odd as Naruto assumed Phoebe would've let Zoë get in a fight with the raven-haired demigoddess. The blonde then took note of the nervous Percy standing to the side, looking guilty and shifting uncomfortably, "Oh, so you finally decide to join us Perseus Jackson, do tell me, why it is exactly, you deemed it necessary to leave before each of us had done so?" he demanded.

"I...I was called out to help a friend the night before you left," Percy replied before looking around, trying to deflect the Spartans decidedly scary glare.

"Hey, eyes on me Perseus Jackson." Naruto snapped at him.

The blond pinched the bridge of his nose with a sigh of irritation. At least he had made use of himself. He then lowered his hand and pointed at Percy, "Next time, tell us you're up to no good before we have to leave on a Labor for the gods, understand." he commanded, "Let us go, there are things we must discuss, and I would prefer it not to be near an enemy stronghold." he told the others.

"Hey, pretty sure we can talk now." Percy said looking to Naruto, "Like, how did you manage to evade that General dude and Luke?" he asked the Spartan.

Naruto sighed as he stopped and looked to Percy, "Do you know how futile it is to explain just how bad you messed up?" he asked the boy.

"No, but I assume you'r going to explain it to me." Percy said.

"Indeed." Naruto said, "See, I told you to go to sleep, not prance and play around and do what you wanted. I can understand that the Pegasus left with you on its back unintentionally bringing you to the place we would meet. But next time a leader or a commander tells you to listen to them, its best to not ignore or overrule their command and do what it is they tell you to. Insubordination can only go so far before you become a problem and two things are done to take care of those problems. Do you wish to hear how those problems are eliminated, or do you wish to contradict them?" he asked the teen.

"I'll hear them." Percy said.

"The first is to remove the insubordinate from the ranks, kick them out if you will. The second is the more simplistic way of doing things. The second is simply death, but it has always proven a good point to many others, and here is the fun thing, you can't walk away from death." Naruto said.

"Ok, but what would you have me do, Blackjack took off with no warning and he still managed to bring me to a spot that I would meet up with you guys." Percy responded, "I thought you would be at least surprised to know I'm still alive."

"No, Perseus Jackson, that is the thing. I thought I could trust you with simple instructions, and you spit that trust back in my face." Naruto said calmly, "I trusted you to be with the group before everything went the way it did. And yet you weren't." he said to the boy before placing a hand on his shoulder, "I am not angered at you, Perseus Jackson, but I am still very upset that you denied my advice and took it upon yourself to act before you thought things out." he told the boy before sighing, "Let me tell you something my brother figure told me, and these words I share to you." Naruto said.

"He told me 'Your beliefs become your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words. Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your values. Your values become your destiny.' Do not let your actions ruin that destiny you have created for yourself." he told Percy calmly, "I know it may seem like I am mad, but I am just upset that you didn't do as the others and got a good night of sleep so we could tackle this mission as a proper team. Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes. And this is just one of the many mistakes you shall make throughout your life. Now come, we have a mission to complete before the week is done." he said as he pat his cousin on the shoulder.
