Hey, y'all
This is my attempt at a Naruto and Percy Jackson crossover. I really wanted to write such a story, and my finals finished a couple days before, so I thought that this would be the best time to start writing.
This is my first fanfiction, so go easy y'all :p
Enjoy!
New York City. The heart of the Western Civilization. It comprises of five boroughs sitting where the Hudson River meets the Atlantic Ocean. At its core is Manhattan, a densely populated borough that is among the world's major commercial, financial and cultural centers. It has a population of approximately 8.6 million, making it the most populated city of the United States. A global power city, New York City has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world.
Or that is what the Wikipedia will tell you.
What it won't tell you, however, is that the New York City, is in fact, home to the most powerful beings of the dimension. It also won't tell you that these beings are the governing forces of the world, or in simple words, Gods.
Yes, you read it right. 'Gods', not 'God'. There is no single god; in fact, there are over 3142 gods and goddesses. However, 3130 out of these 3142 gods don't get much screen time, it's the 12 major gods that steal the show. The Twelve Olympians.
And now coming back to the 8.6 million people who reside in the same city as these gods. Most of these morons live on their lives, meaningless fragile human lives, without having a speck of idea of the existence of these beings. And rightly so.
Imagine being taught for your whole life that there in one God, and not really believing in said God and living on your meaningless lives, to suddenly wake up one morning to see 12 dudes and female dudes, or however you refer to a female dude, all over the news claiming to have control over your whole planet. Not really a viable option now, is it?
And so these people keep on living in the dark, without having any knowledge of the natural forces that govern them, or should I say, supernatural forces that govern them.
And a part of these 8.6 million morons, was one young blonde haired man.
He walked the streets of the Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, without any idea of the existence of these beings that we have been discussing about.
A bag was slung over his shoulders, and he was wearing a simple black t-shirt and blue denim jeans that were particularly tight around his ass. A wonderful and muscular ass, I should mention. In fact, it was this wonderful ass, combined with his equally wonderfully attractive looks, and weird fox like whiskers on his face, that had the attention of a lot of women, who were giving him lusty stares.
But this was nothing new to one Naruto Namikaze, the owner of the fine ass and attractive looks. Neither was walking down the streets of Fifth Avenue, and staring at the beautiful and quite noticeable large building everyday on his way home from college.
The Empire State Building, as known by the morons we have mentioned. Or the seat of Mount Olympus, as the non-morons of the world who are aware of the existence of gods and goddesses like to call it. Sadly, Naruto belonged to the population of morons, so he stared at the building and saw a building, nothing more, nothing less.
He had been walking for some time now, and he realized that he had been so lost in his thoughts that he didn't realize that he had walked quite a few steps ahead of his house. Turning back, he walked towards the little apartment the blonde had rented for himself. Looking in his pockets for keys to the house, he found them. He opened the door to his small abode, and walked in. As he was walking in, his head hit the frame of the door and he muttered a little curse. Being 6'2" had its disadvantages after all. He went into his completely normal house, crashed on his completely normal bed, and fell asleep after his completely normal long day.
Something that was quite not normal however, was the place he went to after he fell asleep.
Naruto had entered his mindscape. Not a normal feat either, I should let you know, as the average human had no idea that a mindscape even existed inside their mind.
Looking over at the beautiful village, HIS village, fond memories of his childhood rushed back at him. As they did every time he visited his mindscape. The village was utterly empty though, and the blonde sat down at the roof of what used to be his office a long, long time ago, and found peace with the silence, as he always did.
A ringing of an alarm clock was supposed to wake him up the next morning, but when a loud crash was what woke him up, in the middle of the night, the blonde wasn't exactly pleased. But the blonde was not surprised, drunkards were quite common after all.
As he ran a hand through his spiky hair and prepared to get up from his bed, another loud crash was heard. He groaned and moved towards his door, and opened it.
He had expected to see a drunkard who had knocked over a dustbin, or had knocked himself over in the dustbin.
What he hadn't expected to see, was a boy, except with the legs of a donkey, lying on the alley below, probably fainted. To his side was a young girl, around the age of 9 or 10 if his guess had been right, scared and crouched over at one corner of the alley.
And then he saw another creature. He wasn't sure what it was to be honest. All he was able to comprehend that it was ugly, and trying to harm the child in some way.
Naruto groaned. The loud groan drew the attention of the child and the ugly creature.
"Am I visible to you, mortal?" The ugly creature asked.
"You aren't just visible, you are disturbingly loud too. The thing is, if you had decided to do whatever you were planning on doing a few blocks away, I wouldn't have cared. But this alley is close to my house, and you happened to disturbed my sleep." The blonde replied in a voice that still sounded remotely sleepy.
"You talk too much, mortal. What a treat, a demi-god, a satyr AND a bonus clear-sighted mortal. This will be a tasty feast." Even the creature's voice was ugly.
Meanwhile, the scared girl had been looking at the interaction of the monster and the blonde man. When the monster had started chasing her, she begged whatever god who could hear her, to help her. When no god replied, she naturally sent the blonde a look that conveyed her fear.
And the blonde smiled at her, a reassuring smile.
"It won't be quite as tasty if I can help it," was the last thing the monster heard before a bare foot was planted into its face. The force behind the kick was enough to instantly exile it to the depths of Tartarus. The golden dust that it dissipated into was very unnecessary, and quite irritating as well in the blonde's opinion, as it stuck to his arms and made him itchy.
"Glitter is such a bitch," the blonde remarked, before he advanced towards the little girl, and politely asked, "What is your name, kid?"
"Sarah," was the kid's reply. She got up, dusted herself off, and jumped into the arms of the blonde, to his pleasant surprise. She then proceeded to start bawling on his t-shirt.
"I was….i was s-so scared," the girl managed to say between her sobs, "Thank you so very much."
"Oh, I would say welcome, if you had not decided to wipe all your snot on my t-shirt," the blonde said, but when he saw that it did nothing to quiet the sobbing child in his arms, he said, "Hush now, its all right. The monster is gone."
Naruto took the sobbing girl and the unconscious 'satyr', as the girl referred to him as, into his home and gave the girl something to eat. And then he asked the girl what everything that had taken place a few moments before was about.
The girl told him that she was a demi-god, and the satyr had been leading her to a camp for demi-gods, where they could be safe and learn how to protect themselves. The camp was called Camp Half-Blood. Then she proceeded to tell him all that she had learned about the existence of gods from her satyr friends.
And that was how, Naruto Namikaze, converted from an ignorant moron to a non-moron and came to realize of the existence of the greater powers that dictated the world.
Liam's eyes opened to an unexpected sight of a white ceiling overhead. He wondered if he had somehow been reborn as a flower inside someone's house. But then he realized that flowers did not have goat legs, or eyes for that matter.
It was all going good, he had found the girl he was supposed to take to the camp, and he was telling her all that a new half-blood needed to know. Until they had been attacked by the Empusai ofcourse. He knew that would be his last days as a merry satyr, and that he had failed his mission.
But now he found himself waking up in a comfortable carpet laid down on the floor. He looked around himself. It seemed he hadn't completely failed his mission after all, as he saw the girl he was supposed to get to the camp alive and safe, and sound asleep on a small bed.
"Nice legs, although I have to mention, I was terribly reluctant to let you in the house considering all the dirt that the fur on your legs seem to carry," A masculine voice greeted him.
"How can you see them?" Liam could clearly smell that the man infront of him was a human.
"Tut-tut, look carefully. The two things that are embedded in my skull just below my forhead, they are called eyes."
"No! I mean…I mean, you are a mortal. You shouldn't have been able to see my legs!" Liam was confused.
The blonde decided to ignore that particular comment, and went back to doing whatever he had been doing, "You can take the girl wherever you were planning on taking her. Although I expect a nice thank-you, along with the pleasure of you leaving my house as soon as you can."
"Um…thank you….?" Liam was even more confused.
"The name is Naruto. You're welcome. Please leave." Was the blonde's reply.
"Geez man, no one asked you to save us and then bring us in your home!" Liam decided that even though he was grateful that Naruto had saved him, he didn't like him much.
"Do you know how uncomfortable explaining a dead child along with a dead weird donkey-ass man to the police would have been?" The blonde looked at Liam with an annoyed look on his face.
"Very well then. You have made it clear that you don't want us here. We'll be leaving now," Liam said, as he walked over to the sleeping girl, his every step creating a loud sound because of his hooves, which only served to annoy the blonde even more.
Not too long after, the satyr along with the girl, Sarah, left.
Naruto, even though he was quite interested in the events that had taken place, he decided that he wanted no part of it. He had his fair share of meddling with things he shouldn't have, and decided to leave these 'Gods' and their children alone.
But not long after, the blonde realized that the child and her satyr could be attacked by other monsters again, as the girl had told him that demigods like her attracted monsters. He muttered a curse, grabbed a jacket, locked his door, and started following them.
After quite a while of following Sarah and Liam undetected, Naruto thought that it hadn't been such a good idea after all, since they seemed to be completely safe.
They had led him to an island, where the camp was supposed to be. Out of pure curiosity at this point now, he continued to follow them.
It wasn't long before he sensed a rather large barrier around an area a mile ahead.
'Camp Half-Blood, I guess.'
The pair of the demigod and the satyr made their way towards the camp, and were half a mile away from the barrier, before they were attacked by another monster.
Naruto groaned as he looked at the large humanoid bull like monster that managed to knock out the satyr in one swipe of his muscular arms. He then proceeded towards Sarah. And Naruto couldn't have that.
He decided to let his presence made know as he casually picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it at the Minotaur, hitting him in his left eye, and popping it.
The Minotaur howled in pain, to the amusement of the blonde.
"Never knew bulls could howl like wolves," he said, as he kept walking towards the Minotaur, who at this point was sufficiently mad at the blonde that he started running towards him.
The large man-like bull sped towards Naruto, who waited for him to come into a comfortable range of ass-kicking.
The Minotaur was ready to smack the blonde with one of its raised arms, but when he proceeded to do so, the blonde jumped into the air, and smacked the Minotaur with his arm instead. The impact sent the Minotaur flying through the air, and his brief flight was stopped by a tree, which he broke upon impacting with.
He got up and found the blonde in front of his face, who delivered another punch to his face, making him fly again. The Minotaur broke another tree, and the blonde reappeared in front of him in a display of surprising speed.
He did not wait for him to get up again though, as he stomped his foot onto the Minotaur's chest, exiling him into Tartarus and dissipating into golden dust again, and annoying the blonde again.
"I am not killing any of these ever again! Fucking glitter…"
His premature rant was stopped as Sarah ran and jumped into his arms again,, and started thanking him furiously. Thankfully she didn't start crying, and just thanked him.
The blonde carried her into his arms, and walked towards an unconscious Liam, who he picked up by the foot and proceeded to drag into the barrier.
"Is this where you are supposed to go, Sarah?" Naruto asked her, even though he already knew the answer.
"Yes!" the girl replied, happy in the blonde's arms.
The blonde kept on walking though the Half-Blood hill, and soon a wonderful sight met his eyes. He stared across the meadow. There were groves of trees, a winding stream, acres of strawberries spread out under the blue sky. The valley was surrounded by rolling hills. The landscape was dotted with buildings that looked like ancient Greek architecture—an open-air pavilion, an amphitheatre, a circular arena—except that they all looked brand new, their white marble columns sparkling in the sun. In a nearby sandpit, a dozen high school-age kids and satyrs played volleyball. Canoes glided across a small lake. Kids in bright orange T-shirts were chasing each other around a cluster of cabins nestled in the woods. Some shot targets at an archery range. Others rode horses down a wooded trail, and some of their horses had wings.
He was surprised though, when he saw various spears made of a bronze-like metal pointed at him.
"Why are you dragging a satyr by his legs, and why do you have a girl over your shoulders?" The owner of one of the spears pointed at him asked. It was a girl, around the age of 15. All of them were girls, he noted.
"It's a long story. Would you pleasant girls mind mind taking me to whoever runs your camp? Oh, and the satyr needs help." The blonde remarked, before suddenly a voice over his shoulders spoke up, "He saved us! I am a demigod, and Liam was leading me over here when we got attacked by a weird bull-man, and he saved us from him." Sarah explained.
The girls decided to lead them to Chiron, as they felt it would be best if he was the one who saw to it.
As they were walking down the hill, towards a large farmhouse, Liam decided to wake up with a large yell, "AGHH! RUN SARAH! RUN TO THE CAMP! THE MINOTAUR CANNOT GO INSIDE! RUN!"
Naruto poked him with his finger, earning a loud "OUCH!" from the goat, and got him to shut up.
"It is a little too late for that, as you would have noticed, if you had the brains to look around yourself." The blonde said.
"Ah! You! Why are you here?" Liam was surprised to see the blonde.
"Not a kind way to greet your saviour, considering the fact that the said saviour has saved you twice," Naruto told him, and proceeded to poke him again, earning another "OUCH!" from Liam and a giggle from Sarah.
The girls lead the group to the farm house, and standing under the porch was, a man. A man, with the body of a horse. Naruto was not surprised though, when you grew up amidst people who could spit fire and turn into snakes, with a thousand year old large fox for company, you get used to these kinds of things.
"Ah, Liam. It is good to see you again. I trust you managed to retrieve the girl you identified, judging by her presence here. But you, young man, I have never seen you before. Who are you?" The half-man half-horse addressed Naruto, but it was Liam who spoke.
He told him all about the Empousai attacking him, and him fainting and the blonde saving him and Sarah, and then he told Chiron of the Minotaur attacking him, and him fainting again, and the blonde saving him and Sarah yet again.
"Well, I should be thanking you then, young man. But you are a human, are you not? I wonder, how a human like you managed to defeat two monsters with his bare hands." Chiron looked at the blonde with interest.
"I um…I used to learn karate when I was a kid. Yep. That is why." Was the blonde's reply.
Chiron was very interested in the blonde at this point. He had managed to beat two monsters, and was a human. How it was possible, he had no idea. He just smiled at the blonde's explanation, and told the daughters of Ares who had brought them here to leave. He also told Liam to take Sarah into the Hermes Cabin and show her around the camp.
"And now that they have left, mind telling me truly how you were exactly able to defeat two monsters, one of the being the feared Minotaur, no less." Chiron asked the blonde.
The blonde proceeded to sit down at one of the chairs near him, grab a can of soda from the wooden table, and take a large gulp.
"This is good stuff." He remarked, before emptying the whole can in one large swig, "And coming back to your question, as I told you, I learnt karate when I was young." He said with a shrug.
Chiron did not believe that for a single second, but he saw that the blonde meant no harm. So he decided to ask a different question instead, "Do you know of the existence of gods?"
"Not until yesterday, I didn't. But imagine my alarm at finding an ugly winged-monster one night, on the alley outside my house. That is how I came to learn of these, gods, that you speak of."
Chiron was surprised with how calmly the blonde was taking all of this, "It does not surprise you?"
"Well, my ex-girlfriend was equally ugly, so no, not really."
Chiron smiled at the blonde's sense of humour, and his ability to dodge questions.
"Very well then. I thank you once again, and request you to keep this knowledge to yourself, for obvious reasons." Chiron told the blonde, as he realized that he would keep dodging any questions that were thrown at him.
"I have no wish to be branded a madman by going around telling people I fought monsters and that Greek gods exist." With that comment the blonde got up, and walked towards a carton full of soda cans. He picked another can up, and emptied it, before picking up another.
"This is really good stuff, I hope you don't mind obviously. Can I take some home?" Naruto asked innocently
Chiron smiled again, "Sure. This is the least we can do to thank you."
The blonde nodded, and picked up the WHOLE carton, and left with a wave.
Chiron face palmed, and groaned after thinking how he would explain the disappearance of a whole carton of Dionysus' soda.
It had been an amazingly long day for Naruto, he mused, as he made his way across the camp, towards the large pine tree where the exit was, through the Half-Blood hill.
Various Dryads at the edge of the woods nearby stared at him with strange looks, and he stared right back. He winked at one, and the wood nymph blushed green.
Naruto chuckled and was about to continue when he heard the sharp sound of air being cut, and he raised his hand to his face and caught the arrow before it could embed itself in its right eye. He looked over to the boy who had fired the arrow who was aiming in the opposite direction. How he managed to fire an arrow backwards, Naruto never knew.
He chuckled, and walked over to the boy who was incredibly scared, "You're holding it the wrong way," he said, before he took another bow from a desk that had multiple bows and arrows on top of it nearby.
Naruto then showed the boy how to grip the boy, and let an arrow fly towards the target, which soared through the air and hit the dead centre of the dummy's forehead with a thump.
The child who had fired the arrow proceeded to do the same, but he only managed to hit the dummy's right arm, whereas he had been aiming for the dummy's head.
"You are a quick learner, but you breathe out the moment you let the arrow loose, which messes up your shot." The blonde told the boy, who looked at him with slight surprise before picking up another arrow and trying again. This time, it hit a few centimeters away from where he had been aiming.
The kid let out a whoop of joy and thanked the blonde man.
Naruto smiled at him, and turned to leave when a voice addressed him, "I thought you were leaving?"
Naruto turned to look at the old centaur, who was smiling.
"Well, I was planning to, before this kid here managed to somehow fire an arrow BACKWARDS. So I thought maybe I would teach him something before he starts shooting more people in the head by mistake." Naruto casually said.
Chiron laughed lightly, "So, Naruto, that is a strange name. Where are you from?"
"Listen here old man, or old horse, or whatever you prefer to be called…" Naruto began before he was interrupted.
"Chiron would suffice," Chiron laughed again.
He did not mind the interruption. He continued, "Your obvious attempts at finding out EVERYTHING about me, are very obvious, and quite frustrating as well. So kindly just stop with it." Naruto said, looking Chiron in the eye.
"Oh, you are quite mistaken Naruto. I am just being curious. A young man such as you, knows a lot about warfare. How?" Chiron asked politely.
"You are one stubborn man. Or horse. Or both. Did you hear ANYTHING I said a moment ago?" The centaur was starting to get on his nerves now.
Chiron laughed heartily, and said, "Don't worry, Naruto. And also, you are welcome whenever at Camp-Half Blood. You did a good deed by helping the girl and Liam."
"Would you mind doing a good deed in return?" Naruto asked Chiron sweetly.
"What is it Naruto?"
"Let me leave in peace, thank you." With, that, he turned, and walked away.
Chiron could definitely see this boy's presence affecting the flow of things drastically in the future. He smiled again.
His smile was wiped off his face when he saw an angry Dionysus, a VERY angry Dionysus, standing outside the Big House.
"WHERE IS ALL MY SODA, CHIRON?!"
It had been an amazingly long day, reflected Naruto for the second time in the same day, as he made his way to his apartment, through the Fifth Avenue.
He looked up to see the wonderful structure known as the Empire State Building. All its lights and its impressive height was a sight to behold. Naruto had a hard time imagining that it was supposed to have a whole mountain above it, or maybe not such a hard time after all. He had seen plenty of weirder things.
He went over to a nearby café and bar that he frequented, sat at the table, and asked for a bourbon.
Even though it would have no effect on his body, as Kurama's chakra would always render the alcohol useless before it could intoxicate his body, but it was no reason to not drink.
"Long day, Naruto?" The bartender asked him, quite like how a friend would greet another friend.
"Tell me about it." Groaned Naruto as he put his head down on the table after gulping down his drink, and promptly fell asleep there.
The bartender chuckled, but did nothing to wake the blonde up, as it was quite the common occurrence.
The next time the blonde opened his eyes, he found himself in his friend's house.
"I had to change shifts, and I couldn't exactly leave you there." His friend smiled at him.
Naruto was not surprised though, this was a common occurrence as well.
He looked at his watch and saw that it was 3 o'clock in the morning.
"Now if you would be so kind as to fuck out of here, and let me sleep in peace, I would be very glad." Naruto's friend was arranging his bed, getting ready to sleep.
"Well you could have been more discreet about it. A simple goodbye would have sufficed, Ed." Naruto shot him an ugly look, before he got up, grabbed an apple from his friend's kitchen (Damon shouted him at him to no take whatever he was taking, but he ignored him) and left.
He was walking towards his home, when he heard a loud noise.
'Lord, can I catch a damn break?' He groaned internally before making his way towards the source of the sound to find a small boy, backing away from what could be described as a massive, doggy monster with glowing-red eyes and reptilian teeth.
The hellhound turned to look at Naruto, demonstrating that it had a good hearing, or maybe a good sense of smell.
The monster snarled at Naruto before he jumped towards him, fully intent on biting the blonde's head off.
The dog was as large as an SUV, but for all that size, it was very agile. Not as agile as Naruto though.
AS the overgrown dog jumped at him, Naruto rolled below him. The hellhound was about to turn to face the blonde when it gave a loud yelp. An apple had been shoved up his asshole.
"Here doggy, you must be hungry."
The hellhound howled in pain and…ecstasy?
"Oh, looks like you like it. Dirty doggy~" Naruto said to the dog with a naughty smile, before having to jump out of where he was standing as the hellhound's jumped and snapped his teeth where he was standing a moment ag.
The blonde landed behind the massive dog, and pulled out a chicken bone from...somewhere, threw it at a distance, on the other end of the alley.
The hellhound natural instincts gave in as he rushed towards the thrown bone, quite like how a pet poodle would go after a bone, except this particular poodle was VERY large, and had dinosaur-like teeth, with blazing eyes as well. But a VERY large dog with dinosaur-like teeth and blazing eyes, was still a dog, as proved by the hellhound chasing after the thrown bone.
However, mid-way he realized, that he wasn't here to chase bones. He was a HELLHOUND, not some pet dog, and he was here because he was hungry and wanted to feast on a demigod. He turned around at the blonde who had thrown the bone, and snarled at him, baring his viscous teeth.
However, the blonde snarled back at the hellhound, displaying his sharp and longer than normal canines to the hellhound. This unexpected action caused the hellhound to girlishly squeak, and unconsciously lower its tail between its hind legs and sit down, in an act of submission.
The blonde proceeded to go ahead and pet the hellhound on his head, earning him a lick on the hand and wagging of the dog's tail.
"Well, looks like I made a new friend." Naruto cheerfully said before making his way over to the scared boy.
He was still scared, but the presence of the blonde calmed him. The fact that he had managed to shove a bone up the monster's ass and then befriend him helped.
Naruto picked him up in his arms, and walked over to his apartment, his new friend following behind him, seemingly docile.
He asked the child, "What is your name?"
"F-Finn." The boy muttered in a low voice.
"Very well, Finn, do you know who your parents were?" He asked the scared boy; quite sure that he had no idea.
"I am an orphan. I n-never knew them." The scared boy muttered again.
Naruto figured that the boy was a demi-god, and that it would be best if he was to take him to Camp Half-Blood, because if he didn't, monsters would keep coming after him. He decided that it would be best if Chiron was to explain about him being a demigod, since he would do it quite better than he himself.
He reached his apartment, and saw that the hellhound was still following him. He proceeded to his fridge, and chucked a large portion of pork that he found at the hellhound, who happily started munching away.
Finn saw that, but Naruto had already assured him that the hellhound would not be harming him. Naruto also gave Finn a hastily made sandwich to eat.
"You know Finn, I know of a perfect place for kids who are just like you. You would make a lot of friends over there, and also learn how to protect yourself. Would you like me to take you there?" The blonde asked the young boy.
He was reluctant at first, but he knew he could trust the blonde. He had saved him after all.
And that was how Naruto found himself walking through Half-Blood Hill the next morning.
There, all done.
