Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Percy Jackson. If I did I would be filthy rich relaxing in my underwear right now on my private island. Oh well.
Chapter 1: A Phoenix is born
He had never felt such power coursing through his veins. Even as the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi, Kurama, his life long companion and ally could not compare to the power that he now felt.
The 4th Shinobi war had not turned out as expected. The Shinobi alliance had been decimated by the combined might of the three Uchiha, Madara, Sasuke , and Obito alone. Followed by the resurrection of Kaguya Otsusuki at the hands of black zetsu. The progenitor of chakra itself! Kaguya had successfully stolen the yang portion of Kurama, allowing her to reform and merge with the Shinju tree to recreate the Juubi, a beast of terrible power, hellbent on recovering all chakra in the world.
Kaguya quickly betrayed her former allies, killing and reclaiming the chakra of the three Uchiha who had worked to revive her.
Naruto had only survived due to his Uzumaki bloodline, allowing him to survive the extraction process of his lifelong companion.
Many of the Elemental nation's ninja now lay dead on the battlefield, Madara, Sasuke, and Obito including. The few scattered survivors from the Elemental Nations were now in full retreat, hoping to regroup...somewhere.
The only one who chose to remain was one Naruto Uzumaki, The former Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi and Genin of Konoha, The village hidden in the leaves.
Having devised a plan on separating Kaguya from the Shinju, and to hopefully even the odds between him and the Rabbit Goddess. By using his knowledge and powers as a Nature Sage, Naruto deduced that as a being created by Nature itself, he could manipulate the very energy of the Juubi,through harnessing the energy of the Shinju portion of the Juubi and absorbing its energy. He could separate kaguya from the Shinju and hopefully even the odds to end this once and for all.
The process was very painful to say the least...He almost passed out from the pain itself.
Naruto could no longer say he was mortal, perhaps something akin to Kaguya, a god or perhaps a force of nature.
Naruto stood across kaguya who now lay on the ground, breathing heavily and obviously in pain. Naruto felt the power of the shinju coursing through his veins. It was amazing, he felt as though he move could the very earth itself!
Kaguya surprised and shocked by the sudden separation, now having finally been able to control her breathing, stood up with a grimace and glared at Naruto "What have you done, you foolish boy!?" Naruto smirked and looked towards his hands as he started to gather energy in his hands, a bright flame appearing at each of his fingertips. "Beaten you" Before disappearing in a burst of speed before charging Kaguya, hitting her straight in the face, launching her several yards away.
Kaguya staggered, struggled to stand up once more. Reached up with a shocked expression, touched her slightly burnt face. "You stupid child!" yelled Kaguya in anger, before she began to gather lightning Chakra in her palm. Intent on smiting the insignificant human, She fired a bolt of lightning at Naruto.
Naruto quickly gathered his energy, that appeared to be taking the form of fire. He formed a shroud of this energy that reminded him of his Chakra cloak under Kurama before charging at Kaguya once again, hoping to close the distance quickly.
As Naruto shortened the distance between Kaguya, he began to throw fireballs at her, causing a series of explosions around her that enveloped her in smoke. "Take this you old hag!"
Kaguya in return quickly took to the sky, hoping to put as much distance between her and the hairless monkey. "You insignificant bug, I will crush you!" She started to gather more lightning chakra.
Naruto while he could not fly, knew he could at least shoot her down. He decided to gather the energy deep inside his core. Don't ask him how or why he knew what to do but he would say it was similar to Kurama's imari ball. He gathered the energy, looked at Kaguya before opening his mouth and firing a massive burst of fire that stopped her.
Kaguya was knocked out of the sky and fell into a heap back on the ground.
"This is amazing, I don't have to form handsign's or say a Jutsu's name anymore." Thought Naruto before he realized he had never shown an affinity towards fire like Sasuke. "Whats going on?"
As Naruto was about to charge Kaguya again, he looked towards his body as he suddenly felt a great deal of pain once again. The skin on his arms began to cook and blister, falling off his arms on patches.
He could feel the very same occurring throughout his body.
His body must have been tearing itself apart!
There were risks to absorbing the energy of the Shinju, especially already exhausted and injured from the earlier extraction of Kurama. But these were risks Naruto was willing to take to end this threat. Naruto began to focus his energy once more. Intent on killing and making sure that Kaguya stayed dead before he expired.
Kaguya could barely stand anymore, willed herself to gather Chakra along with what was left of the Shinju's energy, preparing one final attack. To end this annoying pest.
Naruto strengthen the Shroud of fire that surrounded him and began to gather his energy in his left hand, appearing to form a ball the size of a big-ball rasengan. He continued to pour his energy into the the ball until the it appeared to become a miniature sun. Just as bright and powerful.
The light radiating off it almost blinding him.
Meanwhile...Kaguya was busy forming her own attack.
Gathered both hers and the remaining Chakra of the Shinju, forming something similar to an Imari. That grew to a large size and began to give off bolts of lightning as Kaguya poured her lightning Chakra into it. She looked over towards Naruto, watching as fire began to surround him and what appeared to be a star forming in his left hand. Decided to face him head on, hoping to cancel his attack with her own.
Kaguya began to run straight at him. "You worthless boy, that power doe not belong to you, you are not worthy of it. Do you even comprehend it's power?!"
Naruto returned the action by charging her as well. "You stupid old hag, you don't deserve it either. You've killed so many and for what? A false peace?!" If either of them had not been so busy in the attempt to kill one another, they would have noticed that as they drew closer to each other, the wind was beginning to pick up and a lightning was appearing in the sky above them.
Naruto yelled out to Kaguya with as much anger and hatred as could muster "I'll drag you into hell, kicking and screaming!" Before thrusting his left hand out to hit Kaguya.
Kaguya herself simply remained quiet as she moved her hand forward to meet Naruto's.
As the attacks met. A blinding light enveloped both as they simply stared at each other wondering what was happening, but that was the calm before the storm as a another light appeared from where their hands met and began to expand. The peace was suddenly shattered as a explosion of immerse proportions occurred. Just as the explosion was about to take Naruto, he could only think.
"Uh oh."
"Miles away, in the land of lightning"
Survivors of the 4th Shinobi War would one day describe that the Hero Naruto Uzumaki sacrificed himself. They would say that a massive pillar of light would appear at the location of the battlefield before a explosion that could only be described as a supernova going off occurred. They would say that flaming rock and ashes would fall from the sky and rain upon the region of land for days.
When the smoke finally cleared, a massive crater would the remains of the battlefield that had once been littered with the dead. Over time the crater would fill with water and become to be known as Lake Victory, But to many more it would be known as Lake Naruto. In honor of the Hero who gave his life to ensure peace. The surviving leaders of the Nations would sign peace treaties with one another to ensure peace and prosperity would reign throughout the land for ages to come.
The dream of Naruto Uzumaki and his master and sensei Jiraiya had been a success. All agreed the life of Naruto had ended that day on that battlefield. But what they didn't know was that Naruto's journey had only just begun, as he was not killed in the explosion but instead transported to another world.
The massive amounts of energy released during Naruto's and Kaguya's final attack simultaneously had torn a hole in the fabric of space and time.
"Space outside the earth"
Earth, the world of the gods. Created by Chaos and Gaea at the start of the universe. Originally ruled by the Protogenoi under the terrible Ouranos who was married to Gaea, imprisoned his own children the Cyclops and Hekatonkheires(The hundred-handed ones) in Tartarus on the basis that they were ugly. They were toppled by the Titans led by his son Kronos.
Kronos with the help of his brothers, slayed his father with a scythe given to him by his mother Gaea. Cutting him into a thousand pieces. From the sperm that fell into the ocean from Ouranos, came the beautiful Aphrodite. For a time Kronos would prove to be a just and honorable king who freed his brethren, and married his most beautiful and youngest sister the Titaness, Rhea. But soon Kronos would imprison his brothers the Cyclops and the Hekatonkheiries. unbeknownst to many, Kronos always had a hidden had been cursed by his own father just before he slew him, to be toppled and killed by his own children.
When his beautiful wife Rhea gave birth to an equally beautiful and powerful daughter, Hestia. His fears returned and he quickly consumed her to prevent the curse from becoming turn.
Rhea would given birth four more times to beautiful and powerful children, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon. Each time, Kronos would swallow each of them whole upon being presented to him.
On the sixth time, Rhea the kind and loving woman that she was, decided to hide and keep the birth of her child a secret. She chose the island of Crete to give birth in secret. There she gave birth to a son by the name of Zeus who would one day topple the titans, kill his father and free his siblings. Zeus would grow up in secret on Crete and trip his father by making his throw up his sibling who would promply wage a war on the Titans. After the war, the Titans were toppled, Kronos killed with many of his allies imprisoned. Zeus freed the Cyclops and the Hekatonkheiries. Zeus along with his siblings would become to be known as the Olympians would rule a world that prospered under their rule along with humanity.
Over time, the gods would grow complacent and lazy in their rule, unchallenged for eons, Because if any had them been paying attention to the space above them, they would have noticed a tear appear in the space above the earth that was soon followed by a bright flame that came out of the tear. The tear quickly closed itself, as if it had never been there before. If the humans had been watching, they would have said it was just a falling meteor. But had the Olympians been paying attention, especially Zeus, had not been too busy cheating on his gorgeous and elegant wife, the Goddess Hera with a certain Beryl Grace. He would have felt the great power that was radiating off the so-called meteor.
The flame continued to fall towards the earth had a rapid pace before it disappeared, where it could no longer be felt.
"Nighttime, Island somewhere in the Aegean off the coast of Greece."
It had been quite some time since she had left island or had received a visitor. Since she had arrived to the island and hidden from mortal eyes by her power, she'd taken up some hobbies to keep herself busy. Exploring every inch and crevice of her island, practicing her combat skills with a sword and spear, Sewing and weaving, of course she could just use her magic to make her own clothes but she needed to keep herself busy some way.
She also practiced her cooking and learned a little bit of medicine, along with learning human history and keeping up with current events in both the human and godly realms. "My, must those humans be so violent, another war in the middle east."
She was currently sitting in her beautiful garden relaxing, which she was damn proud of. She was sure Demeter and Persephone would be jealous of. She was admiring the gorgeous night sky and the many bright stars that filled while she was drank a hot cup of chocolate before she decided to examine herself.
She was currently wearing her favorite white chiton with a gold trim that hugged her womanly curves and accented her sizable bust and rear. Her luscious hair cascading down to her lower back with a single braid framing her beautiful face. Her sandals wrapped around her toned legs. She had warm and loving eyes, accompanied by gentle smile could make any man weak in the knees.
If any man that did not know her, met her, he would mistake her for Aphrodite herself.
She was quite confident with her appearance as being described beautiful, perhaps with the hope that one day she would love a man worth loving, and that he in return would love her. Maybe they would have a child... Despite what had occurred to her earlier in her life, she never gave up hope of finding her true love.
"Maybe the fates will send me an injured hero I need to nurse back to health like a certain titaness I know off" she thought to herself with a giggle.
As she continued to watch the night sky, observing the stars she began to notice one star in particular seemed strange...She could hear someone yelling...
More so It seemed to be moving quickly...in fact, it seemed to be coming straight at her!
Quickly getting up her chair, she moved away from her garden with the falling star crashed into the garden before exploding in a burst of fire. She was outraged, she had worked so hard to make that garden. With a growl, she uttered "Demeter, Persephone if you caused this, you will regret this!"
"Elsewhere, around the world in mt Olympias located in New York at the Empire State Building and in the Underworld in Los Angeles"
Said goddesses felt as if someone had walked over their graves.
Her once proud garden had been reduced to ash "Someone must pay!"
As she approached the swallow crater that had been formed she hear a groan. Peeking over the edge, she spotted a very injured man covered in burns, along with most of his clothes and hair singed off.
He was also missing his left arm all the way to the elbow. "In the name of the fates!" She was shocked to see how injured this man was. Quickly using her magic to transport the man to inside her house as painlessly as possible.
She quickly forgot about her ruined garden and brought him inside to help him as best as she could. She placed him on her bed and immediately ran to get her medical kit and some ambrosia squares as she thought he wasn't a mortal as she felt a some amount of energy radiating off the man. If he was just a mortal and she fed him ambrosia, she'd just end up killing him rather saving him. But if she was correct in her assumption, the ambrosia could save him.
Soon she peeled off what remained of the mans clothing, peeling off some skin that came along with it as it stuck and groan of pain. "Shhh, its okay." She whispered to him in an attempt to comfort Naruto lay completely and she began her work to save his life.
She worked tirelessly throughout the night and into the early morning, successfully closing and bandaging many of his wounds.
It would be several days before Naruto would reawaken.
"Several days of later"
Naruto was sure was in safe location, considering he was soft bed with a blanket. It felt as if he whole body was covering it bandages. He could only look out his right eye as he left eye was currently covered in a bandage.
And for some strange reason, he couldn't feel his left arm. "Maybe I broke it." Naruto thought as he tried in vain to move his arm or fingers. As he observed the room he was in, he came to a conclusion that he wasn't in a hospital as it appeared to be someone's personal bedroom, a woman's from the looks of it. "I guess someone found me after the fight, what happened to kaguya?"
As Naruto contemplated his opponent's final fate, the door to the bedroom and in walked in a gorgeous woman in a strange white dress he'd never seen before. "Wow." Naruto thought before he did a quick once over before she could notice, deciding not even women like Tsunade could compete with her looks. Her beauty seemed unreal as she came into the room carrying two cups of what smelled like hot chocolate. She was at the very least in her late 20s early 30s.
As she came into her bedroom, she noticed that her guest was now awake and silently observing. She put the cups down before walked towards the bed and saw a single bright blue eye looking at her. She actually blushed a little. As she could tell by the portion of her guest's face that was uninjured, he was a very handsome young man. As she approached the bed, she gave him a soft smile so he could know she did not mean to harm him. "Good, your finally awake. I was worried you weren't going to make the first couple of nights."
Naruto was so enthralled by her appearance, that when he finally noticed that had spoken to him, she had pulled up a chair next to his bed. When she spoke to him again, he realized something...He could not understand a single thing she had said to him. "Where am I!?"
Naruto decided to ask her where he was, hoping that maybe she could understand his language.
She heard him speak. She became confused as she did not understand a single work he had spoken... She tried first with English as it was the most common Language of this current age in the human world...Then Latin as it formed the foundation for many languages...No go, so she tried Greek, Modern and Ancient, no go. Maybe he was Egyptian? Drat she was never good with foreign languages outside western civilization. "Oh dear, This could prove interesting." She thought to herself in a huff, as she rescued someone she could even communicate with.
Naruto eyes slowly bugged out as he heard what sounded like different languages...He came to a startling realization that maybe he just wasn't in Kansas.
He had one thought on his mind as he looked towards the woman who saved him."NANI WHERE AM I!?"
So how did I do? Leave a review on how I did, what your thoughts on the 1st chapter. You know? Reviews give me strength to write more chapters!
So a couple things before I go, Anyone care to guess what Naruto has become, I'll give you a hint. It involves fire. Oh and its in the title. Some of you are probably wondering just how powerful Naruto will be. Some of you will guess he is Immortal, Yes and No. He can be considered Immortal but not like most Immortals are, but that might change in the future, He can still be killed.
Now for how powerful he is. He will become powerful. But it will not be immediately right off the boat injured as he is. Naruto will slowly learn about the powers he has both gained and lost. It will take time for Naruto to come into what he is now, as he has to gain experience, learn that there are beings that are far older than he is, about this new world he is in and its inhabitants. Both Mortal and Immortal.
Here's a challenges for you readers. As some of you may have noticed, I gave the description of the woman who saved Naruto and some of her hopes and dreams. But I didn't name her. Now some of you are probably wondering why I didn't name her. So here it is.
If you can figure out who the woman is, I'll let you decide one of Naruto's pairings. There are rules to this though.
1) She has to be Immortal.
2)She can't be a primordial.
First person to get it correct decides one of Naruto's love interests.
here's a small teaser of the next chapter.
He continued to look at her, She was beautiful he had to admit at the very least. Despite the gap in communications, she still graced him with that soft gentle smile as they been observed each other. "Shes something else." Naruto thought to himself. Maybe shes an angel and I died and went to heaven to Kami.
He wished he could talk to her through some way. but how? He would have to figure something out in order to speak to her and anyone else if he indeed wasn't in the elemental nations and wanted some way to return home. Maybe he was found by these people from a foreign land after the explosion? Just how big was it? Last thing I remembered was a bright flash of light...
She may have noticed that he had been starring at her with a blush for too long as she was now sporting a faint blush of her own. Naruto's blush slowly increased as he noticed her blush simply increasing her beauty, it made her look cute. Just as he was about to try to explain to her that he was not a pervert or anything. The woman raised her soft and slender hand to her chest. She spoke to him once again with soft smile adorning her face, and a warming and caring look in her alluring eyes.
My name is...
