Chapter 1: The Return
Hey Readers,
So I have decided that since this was one of my best stories besides The Hearth's Hope that I am going to be rewriting them and improving the mistakes I find while also adding upon it with how I write now. I will be doing all four chapters and them making more, hopefully if it gives me a direction I should take it in.
Also I don't have a Beta and if someone is interested then please message me 3
Summary
Naruto Uzumaki... a name rarely spoken of among the Gods.. not only a friend, not only a brother in arms, not only another person, but he is the only true love of Artemis, having grown up and trained together, not only promising to marry her but to be with her forever... until the night he vanished as if he never existed... that was four thousand years ago..
A lone male figure was walking down the street, he seemed to be heading towards an ominous looking castle that Part-took as a boarding school. Crossing the street and making his way over to the school, he spotted a boy with raven black hair and sea green eyes who had rushed out from the entrance and was racing off into the woods. Having guessed who his father is he decided to see what the boy was either running from or chasing.
Having decided to follow from the shadows, mostly to keep his presence hidden to get the most information on what is going on. Having steadily followed the boy he had watched the boy start a fight with the manticore, but that wasn't what got his attention, no what did was the beautiful auburn haired girl with silvery-yellow eyes like the moon and the silver bow in her hand.
Having been gone for the past four thousand years, he couldn't stop staring due to finally seeing her again, but it was sorta funny to him that she hadn't sensed him... oh well, means more tor-training for her.

"No!" Yelled out the boy with sea-green eyes.
He ran out to help her. As he parried away a spike just before it would've hit her chest. He raised his shield over them both, but he knew it wouldn't be enough.
Dr. Thorn laughed. "Now do you see how hopeless it is? Yield, little heroes."
We were trapped between a monster and a fully armed helicopter. We had no chance. Then we both heard a clear, piercing sound: the call of a hunting horn blowing in the woods. The manticore froze. For a moment, no one moved. There was only the swirl of snow and wind and the chopping of the helicopter blades.
"No," Dr. Thorn said. "It cannot be-"
His sentence was cut short when something shot past me like a streak of moonlight. A glowing silver arrow sprouted from Dr. Thorn's shoulder. He staggered backward, wailing in agony.
"Curse you!" Thorn cried. He unleashed his spikes, dozens of them at once, into the woods where the arrow had come from, but just as fast, silvery arrows shot back in reply. It almost looked like the arrows had intercepted the thorns in midair and sliced them in two, but my eyes must've been playing tricks on me. No one, not even Apollo's kids at camp, could shoot with that much accuracy. The manticore pulled the arrow out of his shoulder with a howl of pain. His breathing was heavy.
I tried to swipe at him with my sword, but he wasn't as injured as he looked. He dodged my attack and slammed his tail into my shield, knocking me aside. Then the archers came from the woods. They were girls, about a dozen of them. The youngest was maybe ten. The oldest, about fourteen, like me. They wore silvery ski parkas and jeans, and they were all armed with bows. They advanced on the manticore with determined expressions.
"The Hunters!" Annabeth cried.
Next to me, Thalia muttered, "Oh, wonderful. " I didn't have a chance to ask what she meant.
One of the older archers stepped forward with her bow drawn. She was tall and graceful with coppery colored skin. Unlike the other girls, she had a silver circlet braided into the top
"Permission to kill milady?" Zoe Nightshade, lieutenant of the Hunters of Artemis spoke in a icy tone.
I couldn't tell who she was talking to, because she kept her eyes on the manticore.
The monster wailed. "This is not fair! Direct interference! It is against the Ancient Laws."
"Not so," another girl said. This one was a little younger than me, maybe twelve or thirteen. She had auburn hair gathered back in a ponytail and strange eyes, silvery yellow like the moon. Her face was so beautiful it made me catch my breath, but her expression was stern and dangerous. "The hunting of all wild beasts is within my sphere. And you, foul creature, are a wild beast. " She looked at the older girl with the circlet. "Zoe, permission granted. "
The manticore growled. "If I cannot have these alive, I shall have them dead!" He lunged at Thalia and me, knowing we were weak and dazed.
Line Break
Having watched the boy, who had fought valiantly for the kids, to watching the arrows come and intercept Thorn's spikes. Deciding he wanted to have a little fun and also finally being able to reunite with Artemis after so long after the Fates constantly denied him of it, but he wasn't going to listen to them anymore seeing as he finally got his power back once more.
For the other's that's when things started getting strange because all of a sudden Percy and Thalia both had a hand on their shoulder and then were on the ground vomiting up their lunch from moving so fast if they got that right from what they saw briefly.
After I was done vomiting, I looked to see a figure about 6'1 standing tall and confident like this was a daily occurrence for him and was just a mild annoyance to him. He had bright sun-kissed blonde hair with what seemed natural spikiness to it reaching the nape of his neck and a bang covering his right eye which is a icy glacier blue along with 3 whisker looking scars perfectly symmetrical on both cheeks and a lithe build looking like he built for speed and precision. As I looked around i saw shocked expressions on the Hunters of Artemis, Annabeth, Thalia, and Grover.
Next the 13 year old girl turned into that of a 19 year old and was looking at the figure of mixture of hope, shock, and sadness, while she seemed to be holding in tears at seeing the man. While the Hunters seemed to be shocked at seeing the man their lady said was lost for over four thousand years.
"YOU" Dr. Thorn spat venomously, looking at the figure in fear and burning hatred in his eyes.
Then the man spoke, and a deep and baritone, but smooth voice spoke out, and it it sounded like a whisper but reached all around
"You have broken the agreement we made Thorn, you were suppose to help Olympus or I would make sure you wouldn't reform anymore, but i will make this quick."
He then suddenly twisted his ring and out came a magnificent silver bow crafted with spirals and a Leaf symbol etched into man then draws 5 arrows and lines them up and fires them all at once. They were a blur to most, but they struck true. One had landed right between the eyes, one in the neck , heart, and the other two pierced his lungs and he dissolved into gold dust then the figure did a quick 180 while drawing two arrows and firing them at a helicopter that was flying in the air above the cliff only for it to spin out of control and crash into the side of the cliff and fall into the ocean below.
Line Break
The man stopped in front of the 19 year old women with silver eyes as they just stood there for what felt like hours which was just a few minutes really and she whispered one word.
"Naruto...?" who nodded slightly before he was tackled by a silver blur who was sobbing upon his chest, whilst muttering thing about 'Having her blonde baka back'
Having wrapped his arms around her and whispering soothing words into her ear, he couldn't hold the dam back either and shed his own tears at being with his other half again.
Okay I only added bit and pieces and corrected A LOT of terrible, terrible grammar. I didn't make it longer because I was only making it better and added a bit more, but I will try to add more when I get the idea's for it
