Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Percy Jackson and The Olympians

"Bird, Boar, Dog, Dragon, Ox, Tiger, Snake, Rat, Horse, Monkey, Hare, and Ram" I said.

My father told me once that his grandfather used to tell him many stories when he was a kid. They ranged from fantasy, to action, horror, and many more. One story in particular always fascinated him.

It was about a group of people who existed in ancient times in an island that is now known as Japan, who could do extraordinary things that defied the very laws of nature itself. He said that they could control the very elements to do what they desired. They could make tsunamis that destroyed everything in its path, giant fireballs that could burn through anything, earth walls that rose high into the sky, bolts of lightning that came down from the heavens and tornadoes that tore through mountains. They were able to control the elements through an energy called chakra. Chakra was the combined physical energy, which was found in every cell of their bodies and spiritual energy, which they gained through exercise and experience.

Chakra was controlled with 12 hand signs, each named after an animal from the Chinese Zodiac, molding it into whatever they wanted. This way they could do their techniques, such as their Ninjutsu or Genjutsu.

Their potential was said to be limitless. They were seen as gods by normal people. Of course he told me, it was just a myth, since there was no real proof to back up this legend. After all, who would believe that a human would be capable of such things? This legend has been passed down from father to son since long ago, and it always began the same "My grandfather told me a story once". Along with the story, they also teach them the hand signs, for what reason I do not know. All I know is that it does look cool when you do them. I guess I will be the only one to have said that it was my father who told me the story, since my grandfather died before I was born.

"Bird, Boar, Dog, Dragon, Ox, Tiger, Snake, Rat, Horse, Monkey, Hare, and Ram" I repeated.

As I walked home, I was trying to practice these hand signs that I was taught. It was for an experiment I was working on. You see, I wished it were not true, but alas that cannot be, I'm not a normal human. I am a demigod, half human and half god. My dad was the normal one, a human just like you. His name was Minato Namikaze a soldier in the army, and the best according to his friends that sometimes came over. He was very tall with sun kissed blond hair and ocean blue , he died when I was 5 in duty. I was told he died a hero's death, but not how or why he died. He did manage to tell me the story about the shinobi, since it's sort of our family tradition, and about my mom.

He told me everything, how my mom was a Greek Goddess and an Olympian at that from those stories you hear about in Greek mythology. He didn't tell me who she was, saying that I would find out in time, but what he did tell me is the dangers of being a demigod.

You see, demigods have an aura that attract monsters. Depending on who your godly parent is, you can either have a powerful or weak one. Unfortunately for me, I had an extremely powerful one.

He also warned me about using a phone, apparently, that's like calling out to the nearest monster telling them where you are. That's unfortunate, those IPhone look really cool. My dad said that I would find out who my mother was and I did. It wasn't hard. I researched each Olympian god and what their powers were. You see, I had just turned 4 when my powers started to manifest. At first, dead plants and flowers would begin to regrow when I was nearby, but then, they developed even more. When I got really excited or even if I was extremely happy, any sapling planted around my neighborhood would suddenly start to bloom into beautiful flowers.

That's why my father told me about my mom and what I really was. There was no hiding it anymore, not when my powers were showing up. I thought he was joking at first, but then I saw his serious face and I knew that he was being dead serious. He said that this was a hidden world from humans and that I could not tell anyone. If he didn't warn me about keeping this a secret, I would have gone to school and started showing everyone that I could make plants grow.

When I did my research on each Olympian, I found out that there is only one Olympian Goddess that has any ties with plants and flowers. Demeter. She is the Olympian Greek goddess of the harvest and agriculture. I knew she was my mother, who else it could be, Athena. I doubt it since even if I'm not dumb; I'm not the smartest either.

That was all a year ago. Now I was 6 years old.

Anyways, back to the reason I was practicing hand signs. Well, if the Greek gods are real, the why couldn't the stories about those ninjas be real too. Chakra was a type of energy they used to do and control their powers, but what if the hand signs were not actually tied to chakra, but just used to control it. If so, then in reality, it could also have the power to control other types of energy, like godly energy inherited from a supernatural being. That was my experiment I needed to be able to defend myself against monsters and let's be honest, making flowers bloom around your opponent like it was springtime was not very helpful in a fight,

I was hoping that I could make giant fireballs, or dragons made of water like in the stories. I had a feeling that won't happen.

I finally arrived home, in the middle of nowhere. I was currently camping out in a clearing in a forest. I'll be sincere and tell you that it can get pretty scary at night, especially when you know you now a part of w world where monsters exist.

A tent was set up in the middle of the clearing, with a circle made of rocks in front of it to make a fire. Burned wood sat inside signifying that it had been used. There was also fresh dried wood next to it ready to be used. This was my home. It was simple and mostly empty because I never stay in one place for long. That was not smart when monster can sense you. The simpler the camp; the faster you can pack up and move on if trouble arises.

I used to live in Maine with my dad, but after he died I decided to leave. It was in my best interest to do leave anyway. I would have been sent to an orphanage where there is no type of freedom. The care takers are probably old women who don't like kids, but are stuck with the job anyway. I'm pretty sure my life would have been miserable living there. It also helped that the constant moving would make it considerably harder for monster to find me.

I was now in New Hampshire since it was in the way to my destination. It was a pretty desolate place, but with hurricane-force winds every third day on average, I'm not really surprised.

My goal was to make it to Florida. Why, because it's supposed to be a nice warm place with nice beaches, no other reason. Also I was getting tired of the cold weather of the northern states. According to my map, my next destination was Massachusetts, then Rhode Island, and then Connecticut. Passing through 3 states will most probably take me a year just walking, which is how I travel; also because I like to stay in each state for a while to learn a bit about it and to go sight-seeing.

I went inside my tent and put the map that I always carry with me inside my backpack, where I keep my clothes and other things. I put the backpack back in its place to the side and walked out to prepare dinner.

I picked up some pieces of wood and set them inside the circle of rocks and some dried up leaves to start the fire faster. I took out a box of match sticks from inside my pocket, why I carried it in my pocket I don't know, grabbed a matchstick and lit it up then put it against a leaf, immediately starting a fire. You probably think I'm about to cook something. I only wished. The fire was only to keep me warm. My actual dinner was an assortment of fruits, berries, apples, strawberries, etc. That was my dinner mostly every night. After finishing my fruits, I went about putting the fire out, and then I went to my tent to sleep. After all today was my last day here, I will be leaving tomorrow morning.

The next day I was on my way early in the morning, having left the camp early to make progress. I tried to stick to forested areas, but sometimes it was not possible because the state was not covered with forests. There were also cities that I had no other choice but to cross.

"Bird, Boar, Dog, Dragon, Ox, Tiger, Snake, Rat, Horse, Monkey, Hare, and Ram" I said once again. I guess it was time to try something different. As I did the hand signs, I began to call upon the energy I felt when plants began to grow around me. It was a good feeling that made you feel stronger and overall more powerful, but after, it left you quiet exhausted. As I went through the hands signs, nothing happened again making me depressed. It was always the same result, nothing. This was pointless I thought. I was beginning to lose help, that this experiment was my wishful thinking that I could have powers like those shinobi in the story.

After walking for who knows how long, I arrived at the end of the forest and at the beginning of a city. As I walked forward, I saw a welcome to Nashua sign. I walked on, set on making it past the city. It was still early and I didn't want to spend the night in it. Cities were never safe, what with gangs and criminals, especially for me since I would have to sleep in an alleyway.

I kept on walking, looking around at the tall buildings in awe. Living and traveling by forest can get dull, but never boring, after a while. There was just something about the forest that called to me, attracted me, and made me feel safe. I don't know why since forests aren't exactly part of my mom's domain. That was more Pan's domain.

I saw people walking around, minding their own business. I saw cars passing by, faster than what was legal. Shops and stores were starting to open for a new day of business. There weren't many people out as there usually are in a city. That was another reason I prefer traveling through a forest. There were just so many people. A forest was quieter and more relaxing. The air in a city was filthy compared to nature's air.

It was almost nightfall by the time I was close to the end of the city. The city wasn't exactly big, but I made a few wrong turns that led me to dead ends. It was pretty frustrating, but I managed, with a little help from some people.

Once it got dark out, the moon appeared in all its glory, illuminating the earth with its ethereal rays of silver light. The stars were out today, adding to the night sky's beauty. Today was one of those night were you just want to stay up all night staring at the heavens. It was truly beautiful, but let me tell you, there is nothing better than watching the night sky full of stars than from atop a tree in the quietness of a forest. They should call that the 8th wonder of the world. No, seriously, they should.

"Finally" I exclaimed. I stopped because I just arrived at the edge of the city. I could see the forest in the distance. There is a huge field of grass in between us. The grass was far taller than me.

Before I could begin walking again, I heard heavy steps behind me. I turned around and what I see shocks me. A giant of a man was down the street, walking towards me. I don't care if he was friendly, I quickly run to hide behind some trash cans next to a light post. He walks closer and closer looking around as if trying to find something or someone. Once he was close enough, I took a good look at him. He was like 30 ft. tall with bulging muscle and a big belly. He had a giant wooden club in his hand about the same size as me, with giant nails sticking out at the end acting as spikes. Now I could see that it wasn't a man but a monster. No man has only one eye, and I'm not talking about only one functioning eye. I'm talking about a huge eye in the middle, right above his nose. Now I know it was probably looking for me, after all I knew I had a powerful aura, but this was the first time I had come across a monster, so you can imagine how scare I was.

"Come out demigod, I can sense you're here" it said. "Just make this easier for the both of us. I'm starving. I haven't had a demigod in a while."

Ok, now I was terrified. He was looking around trying to find me and when he looked behind him, away from me, I high tailed out of there toward the tall grass. I guess he heard me because once I started running, he turned around after me.

"There you are, come back here demigod so I can eat you"

Once I heard that I started running even faster and let me tell you, I was abnormally fast, but that thing behind me was gaining on me, getting closer and closer. Adrenaline started coursing through my body, making me go faster. Since the grass was taller than me, I couldn't exactly see where I was going but I could hear him, he was right behind me. I tried going different directions, but he would always follow me. After a while, the grass started thinning out, allowing me to see ahead. I could see the forest in front of me, just a few more second, and I'll be able to lose him there. Unfortunately, the grass thinning out also allowed him to track me easier.

I finally reached the tree line. I was just about to cross it when I felt an excruciating pain on my right side, before I went flying to my left. I kept flying till I hit the ground, rolling unable to stop until I smack into a tree. I feel the earth tremble, I try to get up but I stumble forward, unable to stand and feeling dizzy do to all that rolling on the ground. I see a hand coming towards me. I jump to the side, stumbling before I hit the ground again. It attempts to grab me again, but I roll to the side. This time I manage to clear my head a little and start running again. Just as I predicted, it was harder for it to chase me here do to all the trees in the way. I was running as hard as I could, jumping over fallen trees or sliding under them if they were too high. Even with the advantage the trees gave me, the monster was still catching up. At this point, it was just knocking the trees down. One of the trees fell forward in my direction. I moved to the left but it managed to hit my right foot, making me stumble to the ground. That was all the monster need. Before I could get up, it grabbed me by the head. It lifted me up off the ground, holding me in front of his face.

"Time to eat you demigod"

Gods, his breath was terrible. I close my eyes in pain as I feel my head being squeezed. I started to lose consciousness. Everything was getting blurry and the pain was getting worse, all the while the monster was laughing at my pain.

Is this how I'm going to die? I thought.

Unknowingly, my body starts to glow a bright green color. The monster drops the club in order to cover his eye with his hand. The squeezing on my head stops and but still holds me in place. The ground starts to shake. On instinct I clap my hands together interlacing my fingers while a surge of power was rushing through my body. I had never felt anything like it. This feeling was intoxicating; making me want to feel more of it.

As I clapped my hands together, interlacing my fingers, my body starts to glow even brighter and the trembling seems to get worse. I saw the earth bulging, as if something was underneath it trying to get out. Suddenly, spikes made of stone surge forward, impaling the giant in the back all the way through its stomach.

I was in shock. The hand holding me by the head released me. The monster roared in pain before bursting into golden dust. I fall to the ground no longer having anything holding me up. My vision darkens as a lay there on the ground, looking at the sky.

What was that? I thought. In the back of my mind, I knew exactly what it was and I couldn't believe it had actually worked. Those hand signs actually do work with godly energy.

I was so happy to have finally got any kind of result. I got off the ground ready to keep moving, when I suddenly fell back on the ground, exhausted. My vision was becoming blurry. I was losing consciousness. That's when everything went black.

This is my first story so please review to see how I did and if I should continue this story.

I know in the summary I said that Naruto would have Mokuton, but he will have to first train both elements that make up Mokuton, that being water and earth.

Don't worry, he will have water, earth, and Mokuton jutsu, but that is all he will have as Mokuton is powerful enough as it is.

I would also like you to tell me if I should include the bijuu in this story, if so, then they won't appear until the Heroes of Olympus serious.
