There was a long time, the gods had descended upon the world of their children, the earth of humans, in search of excitement. So they had made a decision, to live forever in the company of mankind. The counter-party was, that the divine beings had sealed their powers.
They had decided to enjoy life, as disturbing and impractical was it for the divine beings. They were able to offer just one thing to humans, a blessing to be able to fight the monsters. The children who received this power became the family of the gods, a Familia.
Currently in the ruins of Elsos, a distant place of the town of Orario, which was also known as the labyrinth city Orario, was a creature named Antarès. This ancient and powerful monster had been sealed by the great spirits during antiquity.
It was a giant one-eyed monster, six armed arms and several legs, wearing shiny red markings all over his body. Yet the monster had awakened, that was where the Artemis Familia came into play. With their god, the members had decided to take care of the creature.
Despite being a family of hunters, they attacked only monsters, cleaning them to help people threatened by them. The Artemis Familia consisted of twenty members and was exclusively feminine, but they had not been able to defeat Antarès because of its great power.
Because of this fact, the entire Artemis Familia had been killed and beaten. The only survivor of this tragedy was the goddess herself, thanks to the sacrifice of her captain Rethusa and another member of the name Lante, they had saved the life of the divine being of the monster Antarès.
Seeing this, the goddess still had to continue the fight to avenge the members of her Familia. But she had soon found herself overwhelmed by the assaults of Antares, after a few minutes Artemis had been defeated, the monster was approaching her in order to devour her.
" So... It's going to end like this...devated by this monster... Rethusa, Lante and the other girls... I'm sorry...but, I will soon join you... But before that, I will do something... Before I get eaten by Antarès... " Artemis declared exhausted.
The goddess has green eyes and long blue hair with two long fringe, two strands on the sides and a tail partially basket weave in the back. As a weapon, she had a bow. She wore a white and pale blue outfit, long brown boots with a light brown motif, with a belt.
In which she kept a piece of white cloth and a dagger, gold bracelets and various accessories for golden hair. Now Artemis knew that she would soon die, so she was preparing a special weapon with the rest of those powers, so someone would beat Antarès someday.
" Dainamikku Entorī ! " Someone comes in.
As the monster advanced to Artemis, who used these last forces to create a weapon, someone had just changed those thoughts by attacking Antarès. Surprise, the goddess saw with her own eyes that the creature had just been repelled by a person, with a single kick.
Looking better, she saw that it was a young man. This one has blond yellow hair, but also bristled and with blue eyes. His distinctive markings are the three whiskers on his cheeks, which Artemis found surprising, but also very cute.
" Are you all right ? " Asked the young man.
" ...Huh ? Er...yes. " Replied Artemis surprise.
" For quick presentations, my name is Uzumaki Naruto. "
" ...I'm Artemis... "
" Very well, Artemis. I take care of this thing, after I have some little things to ask you. "
" Wait ! You can't...take care of Antarès all by yourself... It's way too strong ! "
But the blond was no longer careful, to the words spoken by the goddess. Naruto was running directly towards Antares, with a strange sign for Artemis the young man showed several clones, perceiving that the monster opened his mouth and began assimilating energy.
Then he pulled a bundle of energy on the clones, this attack was so powerful, that she scanned all the copies. The impact created a huge explosion, which also created a great cloud of smoking. Seeing this, Artemis was afraid for the situation of the young man who had just appeared.
' No... He cannot be dead... Yet another...sacrificed himself to save me. ' Says Artemis.
" In this case, Ōdama Rasengan ! " Cried Naruto.
Popping up on the opposite side of Antarès, Naruto jumped to the monster with a huge Rasengan in his right hand. Quickly, Artemis understood that the clones that had appeared were only decoys, thus allowing the creation of the technique easily without the creature seeing it.
Naruto slamsed the Ōdama Rasengan on what appeared to be the head of the monster, which was pushing a cry of pain at the impact. Artemis was really surprised, that only one person could do so much damage in Antarès with an attack, but the young man seemed dissatisfied with something.
" Damn it ! Since I came here, my attacks are less powerful. As normal, the Ōdama Rasengan would have been enough to defeat this thing. Besides for some strange reason, I'm already exhausted after only one use of the Ōdama Rasengan. " Indicated Naruto.
In retaliation for the assault, the monster was hatching eggs around him. A small creature that resembled Antarès, was in the process of appearing around Naruto and Artemis. The young man could not continue the fight, while now protecting the goddess.
The blond decided to take the leak, he took several explosive kunais, which he then threw to distract the creatures. With the explosions created with the weapons, Naruto took advantage of taking Artemis in these arms, and then they quickly left the ruins of Elsos to get sheltered.
After a few minutes of racing, Naruto finally took a break while dropping Artemis quietly. This one was exhausted and hurt, she was leaning against a tree to try to rest a bit. For now she was still confused, normal sight that she had almost died.
' Without the intervention of Naruto... There is no doubt...that I would be dead at the moment...devated by Antarès... ' Says Artemis.
" Naruto, that's right... Thank you...for saving me. " Thanked Artemis.
" It's nothing... You're okay ? " Naruto asked.
" I'm only exhausting...with some injuries...preventing me from fighting... Other than that, it's all right. "
" Why did you fight such a monster ? "
" This monster had killed...several people, so me and my family...decided to take care of it. But they died trying... In addition two between them are dead...by protecting me from Antarès... Except me... I am the only survivor of this failure... "
" I don't know what to say to you in this kind of situation, but the most important thing is that you're alive. "
" It's true...but before you believe in dying... I thought of the idea of creating a weapon...to defeat this monster... "
' I had prepared hieroglyphs...so that the weapon chooses someone...having a soul similar to mine... ' Says Artemis.
" Where is the nearest town, for someone who can heal your wounds ? " Asked Naruto.
" This is Orario, the city is located...more to the east. " Advise Artemis.
" Very good, I will take you there. "
" Are you sure about that ? I am...but a stranger. "
" I can't, leave you like this. Besides, I also have to go to a city for some information. "
" I see... Thank you for your help... "
' I would have liked to ask her questions, but she does not seem too much in the way of speaking. ' Says Naruto.
" To get there...you will have to take one of my dragons...then...navigate east... " Artemis continued.
' ...Dragon ? ' Wondered Naruto.
A little later after Artemis had a little rest, the young man brought the goddess to a kind of flying lizard for the blond. Naruto took the queens of the creature, after the girl explained how to lead it, then the duo flew east in the direction of Orario.
In a practically empty room, which had only one throne in its place, there were also two men. The first one has white hair and blue eyes. He wore a white dress, with a black cape and sandals. The second individual was just as mysterious as the one before.
The other is depicted as an old man, having a necklace composed of six magatama, representing the sextuple path of reincarnation. It would appear with a cape, but with long sleeves, a shakujô and motifs on it. He has a beard on his chin and two horns on his forehead.
" ...There is. The boy you asked me to save, I managed to summon him in this world. " Indicated Ouranos.
" I see... It was necessary to find a solution to save him, he had succeeded in putting an end to the rivalry between my two sons. Thanks to its influence, Uchiha Sasuke and the Bijūs have removed the Mugen Tsukuyomi... Thank you, for your help, my old friend. " Thanked Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo.
" It's nothing, it's just a thank you for the help you gave me when I needed, a solution to prevent the monsters from coming out of the dungeon. Unfortunately, as the boy was way too powerful, I had to take away a lot of those powers to save him. "
" Don't worry about him, no matter what happens he'll be fine. "
" He could regain them, but for that he will have to level up… All right, child of prophecy, Savior of the world, let's see what you can do in this new world... " Murmured Ouranos.
" You forgot two other nicknames, miracle worker... But especially what he describes it better is Uzumaki Naruto, the most unpredictable ninja... " Hagoromo said, smiling.
The return trip lasted several days. During which Naruto and Artemis had to take a lot of pause, because of resting the dragon, also that the goddess can recover some of these wounds. She once told him to come to Orario, to visit her friend Hestia for help.

On the following days, Naruto had arrived in Orario with Artemis. She told her where her friend was. Hestia was one of the few, to whom she could see trust. When the young goddess had descended into the lower world, she had been taken care of by her friend Hephaestus.
But then he was asked to live alone and was given a room in an abandoned church. Hestia had tried to create his own family, but for the moment had failed to recruit anyone. Rather quickly, the young man found the place to indicate by Artemis.
" Is it here ? " Asked Naruto.
" Yes... Hestia should be here. " Replied Artemis.
As the young man held Artemis in these arms, the doors of the building opened. Naruto saw a beautiful young girl with a youthful appearance. She has blue eyes and black hair, half of the thigh knoked in two twin tails, which descend to the mid-thigh.
Her hair was tied with accessories, including blue and white petals and bell-shaped ornaments. Her outfit was a white mini-dress, with a blue ribbon around her neck and another tied around his chest, arms and as well as a pair of white gloves.
" ...Huh ? Artemis ! What happened to you ? " Hestia asked surprise.
" It's a bit complicated...but I promise to explain... Hestia...can you help me, please ? " Artemis asked too.
" Of course, come in ! "
Once in a bed and Naruto went looking for a doctor, Artemis explained his situation to her friend. Hestia had been horrified by learning that the Familia of the other goddess had been killed during the fight against Antares, that the leader had almost been eaten by the monster.
Artemis had also explained to Hestia, that before believing to be devilled, she had wanted to create a weapon for someone to beat Antarès later, but that her plan had been happily waver by Naruto, who had saved her life by confronting the powerful monster.
Hestia was surprised that the boy she had seen, had been able to fight and wounded a monster like Antarès. She promised that once Naruto came back with the doctor, she would thank him for saving the life of her best friend, when they were still at Tenkai.
" ...That's the end...my explanation... " Artemis continued.
" I'm sorry, about what happened to your Familia, Artemis. " Comforting Hestia.
" Yes, by my fault... "
" No, it's not your fault ! You did not know that this Antares would be so powerful, don't forget why you wanted to defeat him. It's for the purpose of protecting people. "
" I know, but... "
Suddenly, Artemis cried out thinking about the fate of her whole family, that she regarded these members as important people for her. While leaving her sadness, the goddess was comforted by her friend Hestia, who had taken her head in these arms thus showing her affection.
Later, Naruto came back with a doctor. Quickly, he went to Artemis to heal her. He came back to the young man and Hestia with good news, the goddess had nothing serious only a few wounds, but it would still have to rest to resume.
" From what Artemis told me, you call yourself Uzumaki Naruto ? " Asked Hestia.
" Yes, that's right. " Replied Naruto.
"I am Hestia… I thank you for saving Artemis from this monster. "
" It's nothing. "
" It's not nothing. You still have to risk your life, to save that of Artemis... From what she told me too, you wanted to go into town to get information ? "
" Yes, for some information of the place where I am located. "
" ...Before that, where did you come from ? "
" I come from a place named after the five great Nations Shinobis, specifically the village of Konoha. "
" Huh ? ...It's strange, I don't know any names from these places. "
" What ? "
" Sorry, but I can't say it more precisely."
" Instead, can you tell me about this place and this story of Familia ? "
" Very good. "
With this, Hestia told what she knew to the young man about the gods, the familias, and a little about the world. By listening to his speech, Naruto knew nothing of what the girl was saying. In turn, the blond told him about where he came from, about the ninjas, but also about the ability of the chakra.
Even she who was a goddess, she knew nothing about that power of the chakra that had spoken to her Naruto. As well as the places he had spoken to him, Hestia advised him to go to the city library and see a map of the world, to see exactly where Konoha was located.
Naruto was doing what the goddess had advised him, fortunately for him that the library was free. By taking a map of the world, the blond did not find anything on the five great Nations Shinobis, where even Konoha. Even with more research, he still couldn't find anything.
The young man was asking questions to the librarian, but even she knew nothing about the five great Nations Shinobis, where even Konoha, or the ability of the chakra. The only power she knew was this magic, which only magicians could use.
' ...With the information I have obtained, I can only make one hypothesis now. There is hardly any doubt, that I am right now in another world. People only knew the five great Nations Shinobis, Konoha, or the chakra... ' Says Naruto.
" In addition, the only power known here is this magic. One thing that never heard of, at the same time being the five great Nations Shinobis. Yet I use the rikudō chakra, as well as the senjutsu... For now, I should come back to the church and explain my situation. " Says Naruto.
With that in mind, the blond went back to the church. Once back, Naruto explained his situation to Artemis and Hestia. They were somewhat surprised by the hypothesis, but they said that he could not be wrong, because they even knew nothing of what he had told them.
" I see... Very well in this case, I will teach you everything you need to know about this world. " Artemis said.
" Are you sure ? The doctor said that you needed rest. " Note Naruto.
" It's true, as long as I don't make physical effort everything will be fine. "
" ... "
" I already told you, not to worry about me. In addition to that, I'd be a little refund for saving my life. "
" I never ask, anything for that… "
" I know, but I want to do it… Besides, how could you tell me more about yourself and your world too ? I've become curious now. "
" Ok… "
Now Naruto was telling his story to Artemis, passing by his childhood, by the fact of becoming a ninja, these missions, his fight to bring Sasuke back to the village, these clashes against the Akatsuki, the death of Jiraiya, but also with the fourth great war Shinobi and Kaguya.
The goddess was really surprised, by the tale told by Naruto. His life had never been easy, yet he had never given up, which she found really incredible. During his stay in this world, the blond had not been able to get in touch with Kuruma who was in him.
During his rest, Artemis helped the blond to know more about this world. The last thing Naruto remembered was that his Rasengan had hit the Uchiha Sasuke technique. This had happened in the final battle, after his confrontation with the goddess Ôtsutsuki Kaguya.
Naruto had awakened in this world, in full shape without any more injury. At first confused, the young man had travelled a little way to try to see where he was. It was at that time that the blond had seen Artemis who was two fingers from being eaten by Antarès.
" I see... This is a lot of information, to be taken into account for me... " Started Artemis.
" I told you so. " Noticed Naruto.
" It's true… But the facts are there, there is no reason why I can not believe you now... And just a little advice. "
" Yes ? "
" ...Keep it to yourself, about your chakra abilities and only talking about it, to the people you can trust. Also keep for you that you are from another world, not many are also open of spirits, you would draw much attention to you because of that. " Advised Hestia.
" In fact, they would take the chakra for magic. This is the best for you. " Added Artemis.
" All right, I'd keep that in mind… " Says Naruto.
With that said, the blond left the goddess to rest. Having nowhere else to go, Hestia allowed Naruto to remain in the abandoned church. It was like a thank you, for saving the life of Artemis. Moreover, he began to help the young divine being with these debts while working.

In the next few weeks, Artemis had finally recovered, she was now in full shape. Thanks to her and Hestia, Naruto knew enough about this world to live there without a problem. To the great surprise of the young man, the goddess had set out to nickname him by the name of Orion.
It did not bother the blond, he used to give nicknames to people in his world. In addition, Artemis had received a few visits from individuals to see how she was doing. One had frankly scored Naruto, especially the being who had spoken to him when he was returning from work.
Whoever had spoken to Naruto, was a young man with blond hair and orange eyes. He wore a fancy costume, with a feathered hat. From the point of view of the ninja, the man has a casual and playful personality, but he knew it was just a surface to hide.
" Hi ! I am the god Hermes... Do you have to be Orion, or should I say Uzumaki Naruto ? " Asked Hermes.
" Yes... What do you want from me ? " Asked Naruto too.
" Don't worry, you don't need to be on your guard. I am an old friend of Artemis and Hestia. I came directly to see you, it is to thank you for saving the life of Artemis of this monster of Antarès. Artemis and I are part of the same mythological group of gods. "
" I see… "
" Plus, I was really interested in meeting you. Artemis has made a lot of praise in speaking of you, which is most surprising from her towards a man. "
" It's surprising what ? "
" Artemis has always presided over chastity, she was strict in love. She even banned family members from being in a relationship and told them to leave if they wished. She had never been interested in the male before, but now she speaks well of you. "
" I don't know, what to say about it… "
" But, there is nothing to say. Instead, I'm grateful to you, Naruto-kun. Now Artemis is more open to others, it is through these interactions with you... Well, I'm going to have to go now, I'm looking forward to our next meeting, Naruto-kun. "
' ...You must be really special Naruto-kun, for having succeeded has changed a little the personality of Artemis, on his point seen men... Well continue like that Naruto-kun, show me your true potential. ' Says Hermes eager.
A little confused, the blond watched Hermes go. Naruto was still surprised, by a world inhabited by the gods among humans. But well, the only true divine being that he had known was Ôtsutsuki Kaguya and their encounter did not pass well. To make it simple, they tried to kill each other.
Continuing his walk, the young man quickly arrived at the abandoned church. On entering the building, Naruto saw the two goddess in full conversation. When they saw that the blond was there, they immediately stopped their discussion and watched it directly.
" Ha there you are, Orion. " Artemis began to delight.
" I'm back. " Saluted Naruto.
" Orion, I have one thing to ask you. "
" Who does he have ? "
" I would like to know, if you would be interested in becoming a member of my Familia ? "
Hestia said nothing, she herself had wanted a moment to give asked Naruto to integrate her Familia. But she had not done it, because she assumed that Artemis had already had the same idea. Moreover, the latter had changed over the last few weeks, since she had been with the blond.
Before that, Artemis was known to be too strict and cool, some were even afraid of it from the point seen of Hestia. But now she had become sweeter and tolerant of men, even though it only applied to Naruto, because Hermès had received a little cold reception.
This behavior towards Hermes, goes back when this one had tried to watch Artemis take his bath. The goddess had not taken it well, when she had discovered it awaits. For the change of personality, Hestia assumed that her friend was softer to Naruto, because he had saved him.
" ...I know you're looking, another way to get back into your world. But I promise you, if you find one, I'll let you go without a story. Personally, I would like you to integrity my Familia, it is also a thank you for saving me. " Explained Artemis.
" I see... If there is no problem, when I find a way back into my world, then I accept your request to integrate your Familia, Artemis. " Replied Naruto.
" ...I'm really delighted with your answer, Orion. "
" Wait a second, Artemis ! " Interrupted Hestia.
" What is it, Hestia ? "
" By making Na-kun a member of your Familia, you still do not have the idea to go face again this monster of Antarès to avenge you ? "
" ...I'm not stupid Hestia, I know that at the moment doing such a thing is suicidal... But for later, I might consider doing it. "
" But… "
" I can't leave, a monster as dangerous as Antarès in freedom. Imagine what he could do to innocent people, plus I have an account settled with him. I have to eliminate him for what he has done to my children of my Familia, so that they may rest in peace. "
" ... "
" I do not want, that the sacrifice of my Familia is vein... But I have already said, for now I do not have enough strength. For this, I must start by rebuilding my Familia. " Artemis said.
Then Artemis had performed the ritual, so that Naruto officially integrates his Familia. By doing so, the goddess was really amazed by the statistics of the young man. She knew that the ninja was powerful because of her history, but she did expect to see such a status for a level 1.
" ...I-It's really amazing… " Artemis began to be astonished.
" Huh ? What do you mean, Artemis ? " Hestia asked surprise.
" Just look, you'll see my reaction. "
" Ok… "
Artemis tended the parchment, which contained the statistics of Naruto to his friend. This confused one looked more closely, wanting to know what had given such a reaction to the other goddess. Thus, Hestia inspected the paper better, these eyes were enlarged as they saw what they had marked.
Uzumaki Naruto
Lv1
Strength: B723
Endurance: S947
Dexterity: C652
Agility: A814
Magic/Ninjutsu: B700
Skill: Lineage Uzumaki
This makes it possible to survive and suffer much more serious injuries, while allowing to recover from injuries and exhaustion, with much higher efficiency in a short time.
" ...I can understand now, the reaction you had. " Remarked Hestia.
" Yes… " Confirmed Artemis.
" Uh... Is there a problem with my statistics ? " Naruto asked.
" No, quite the contrary, Orion. With the statistics you have, you could have already climbed to level two. " Replied Artemis.
" Yes, it's an already amazing thing. " Added Hestia.
" Besides, you have received a skill that has directly to do with you. If I remember correctly, from what you have told me about you, it is a capacity of your family that has just been converted into a skill for you. " Note Artemis.
" This is a skill, really useful in fighting. "
" But to avoid any problem, the best is to wait before making a level climb… Besides, your ninjutsu is mixed with magic, maybe with the laws of this world, now your ninjutsus abilities are considered magic. "
" I see... If I remember correctly, to move to the next level, you have to have a grade D in at least one basic ability and accomplish something that would impress even a god, like defeating a more powerful monster... " Continued Naruto.
" Yes, that's right... The safest thing is that your statistics remain between the three of us. Otherwise, you could attract the attention of other gods, sometimes this attention could not be good for you… " Artemis declared.
With the recruitment of Naruto, it meant for Artemis the beginning of the renaissance of his Familia. Even with the immense loss she had suffered, the goddess could see a glimmer of hope with the blond. Now she could tell herself, that she might be able to project herself into the future.
