Loveless

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

Chapter 1

Their once was a story a myth, a legend but to others a prophecy. A prophecy that Apollo, god of prophecy along with other domains foresaw.

A man who cannot love, a man who has no love or chose not to love, it was ironic seeing as the one who cannot love was the son of the goddess of love.

He was Loveless.

A blonde, spiky hair male with sapphire eyes and unusual whiskers marks on his cheeks. He was currently walking down a random street of New York with a near emotionless look on his face. The blonde was wearing a pale grey robe with a design of red flames on the edges, with a green ribbon showing a curled gold designed tied in a loose bow around his waist. Underneath it, he wore a black mesh shirt with red lining, and wore puffy black pants that are tighter around the ankles as well as black sandals to go with the outfit.

This was Naruto Uzumaki, former chunin of Konoha. The sixteen year old was looking at the sights of New York and no one seemed to notice the whiskered blonde as he walked by them. It was almost if he was invisible to all of them.

Naruto came to New York after being sent by his 'mother' here when he was being trained by his godfather Jiraiya, one of the sannin. He didn't know why this woman kidnapped him before placing him in this weird town where no one had any chakra at all!

However he did meet a few interesting characters, at first he thought they were some of Orochimaru's twisted experiments but it turned out to be 'monsters' that were could only be seen by him and a few others. It was a shame he was in this world rather than the luscious plains where he was training at, he'd rather be in the forest training away from prying eyes but he decided to do a bit of recon here before he decided if this world's inhabitants would pose a threat to him and the rest of the Elemental Nations.

That was his job after all, as a shinobi he's duty was to serve and protect Konoha and eliminate any enemies or threats. The problem was how he was to get back.

His mind drifted back to the woman he met how had long red hair and violet eyes. She gave off a foreign feeling to the blonde, love. She just met him and he could feel the love for him coming from the woman but he felt indifferent.

Their meeting replayed in his head. "My dear musuko" The red haired woman said as she hugged him causing the blonde to stiffen. "I'm sorry I had to leave you here surrounded by all this hatred"

"Who… are you?" Naruto asked as the woman looked at him.

"Naruto, I am your mother" She said with a gentle smile.

Naruto's eyes narrowed as he looked at her. "My mother is dead, you are not her"

The woman looked genuinely sad as she looked at the chunin. "Naruto, my musuko I am your mother"

"Prove it" He said as he looked into the woman's eyes.

"My mortal name was Kushina Uzumaki, your father was Minato Namikaze and we made Jiraiya your godfather" The woman told her son.

Naruto just stared at the woman. Naruto found out his connection with the fourth hokage who sealed the Kyubi in him causing him to have a horrible childhood and this woman claims to be his mother when he suffered in the village.

The woman who claimed to be his mother looked into her son's emotionless eyes and practical saw what he went through. The loneliness and the hate sent his way for holding the Kyubi she and Minato sealed in him as well as choosing to close of his emotions from the world as he rose through the ranks at a young age before becoming a chunin before the graduation age much like Itachi Uchiha but only reached chunin before Jiraiya came for his godson he practically neglected for his spy network among other things.

The woman inwardly frowned at looking through her son's memories via eye contact at his childhood. Growing up without love and taking lives at a very young age compared to others in the Elemental Nations.

"The perverted hermit did say he my mother had long red hair" Naruto said breaking the woman out of her thoughts about his childhood.

"Now do you believe me?" She asked.

"No"

"W-what"

"If you are my mother why did you leave me to the wolves, for dead, to suffer through that horrible childhood" He shouted with the word mother being laced with venom.

"Naru-chan…" The woman said as Naruto got her off him.

"Save it" He said as he looked in her eyes. "I don't need you anymore. You weren't there when I needed you and now you are here when I don't need you anymore so why would I need you now?"

Kushina or whatever her real name was looked down with a sad look. "Naruto, I know you can never forgive me or your father…" She began as Naruto stared at her. "…but I can give you a better life away from all the killing, a chance to be happy and love"

"I am quite happy with my life how it is" Naruto firmly said.

The woman looked directly at her son. "Naruto, I am sorry but this is for your own good, you'll be able to meet your family. If not for me then pleas at least for your family" His mother pleaded.

Naruto looked at her before frowning. "Fine, but I expect to be sent straight back afterwards"

The teary eyed woman looked up and smiled. "Thank you musuko, you don't know how happy this makes me"

"Whatever" He then looked at her. "I suppose you were going to send me anyway"

The woman rubbed the back of her head nervously. "Hehehe"

Naruto then glared at her. "When I met my family, you will send me back to Konoha"

The woman nodded with a sad smile before thinking to herself as a white light started to engulf them. "I'm sorry my musuko, but you won't be returning"

He broke out of his thoughts as he reached his apartment. Naruto entered his apartment that looked like a penthouse suite, maybe because it was. Luckily for him he payments where covered thanks to shadow clones and using the transformation technique to become Jiraiya to republish his books in this world first being 'The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi' and then the Icha Icha series starting with Icha Icha Paradise.

Naruto never really cared for the Icha Icha series as he would rather read the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi than smut. He wasn't surprised when the Icha Icha turned out to be a hit but was a little surprised when he heard that the Gutsy Shinobi sold fairly well he was surprised. The payments were also covered by his mother.

He had yet another lucky break was his citizenship apparently he was already in the system as well as his parentage and godfather, which was also his mother's doing.

He had the feeling he would be living for quite some time, and his mother didn't tell him where his supposed family were or how to find them. He wondered if this was all just a plan to kidnap him for the Kyubi.

He walked over to a desk and sat down opening a book of Greek Gods and Goddesses, a note was attached that said that it would help him learn about his family. He read through the book and he felt… something when reading one of the goddesses.

Aphrodite.

Something about it caused him to frown as he read. A goddess of love, where was this goddess when he was stuck in Konoha before being transported here. Then he read about Aphrodite being married to a god called Hephaestus, he liked the story of Hephaestus mainly because he was thrown of the cliff much like himself, not training with Jiraiya but when the Kyubi was sealed in him.

They both had something they couldn't control, Hephaestus being a cripple and him being a Jinchuriki. He then read about Aphrodite cheating on her husband, much like a few other gods and goddesses cheating on their spouses.

The main 'lover' of Aphrodite was a god of war named Ares. This caused him to frown as he hated war despite being a 'weapon' for it. He had his fair share of kills but one thing the pervert taught him was about peace.

He came to one logically conclusion about this goddess.

She was a slut, a whore. It might sound a bit harsh but that's what he read, or according to the words of a goddess named Artemis even if it didn't say so in the book.

One thing went through his mind. Love was a major factor in war, we go to war to protect our loved ones, we kill each other to protect but when we kill we cause someone to lose their love one and act out in vengeance getting revenge and continuing the cycle of hatred.

It was decided, love was useless. If helped cause wars then he didn't need it. He never experienced love or received love. Iruka might have shown some sort of brotherly bond but Naruto didn't know if it was real or not. He closed the book and decided to search for his 'family' tomorrow.

Looking over to the side he saw a black blade leaning against the wall. Taking a closer look at the sword he took in its design, it was a double edged sword unlike the usual katanas in Konoha, it was long like a katana, and the handle and blade were black in colour and sometimes had a black fog around it when he used it. The blade was pretty sharp compared to other swords.

You could say it was a gift from the Kyubi. He and the Kyubi weren't on friendly or hostile terms, they had a 'you scratch my back and I scratch yours' situation. Since the Kyubi was a being of hatred and created by said being the sword was a sword of hatred.

He didn't have a name for the sword or a scabbard, he didn't really need a scabbard for the sword but he did find out a good name for the sword though.

He decided to call the sword, Loveless.
