AN: Alright, since the first chapter was filled with a surprising amounts of positive reviews, I have joyfully written this chapter using around 11k words. Now, I will proceed to answer some reviews.

-For the pairings, I will simply say this. One female will be chosen and, sadly for some, the female will not be Artemis nor Thalia since they have been used quite extensively. I'm also conflicted about adding another female. Eh, you may share your thoughts on who the second female should be if I choose to go that route in the reviews.

-fresh prince1, G3neSyS- Yes, I do agree that he might have been a little too forthcoming with information, I don't believe any of it was too revealing. Example: Nine-Tailed Fox. He also never mentions any names from his home. As for how Annabeth knew Naruto was from another world. It's explained further in this chapter. Again, the first chapter was merely to set up the premise of this fic.

-bigman77- I absolutely agree. The main reason I even began writing was because of my love for writing and the possibility to express my imagination through writing. But, reviews are definitely very much like cherry's on top of an ice-cream cone. Yummy!

-razorbackmike- I probably should have clarified the major characters ages. Well, I shall do it right here and right now. There ages are respective of their movie ages

Naruto- age 17; Percy- Age 16; Annabeth-17; Clarisse-17; Luke-17 These are the ages so for the current characters so far.

hammo1996- I agree with that thought. I just believed that traveling between dimensions would create some sort of side-effect. I chose loss of Chakra simply because it was the most relevant obstacle for the situation.

Okay, so these reviews were generally the common questions people had. Now to the story, I guess you shouldn't be too surprised or shocked but if you're not here's a spoiler warning: The revealing of Naruto's parent will occur in this chapter. You have been warned! So with that in mind, enjoy the chapter and I'll see you at the bottom.


Chapter 2: To Claim or not to Claim

A lone figure could be seen gazing idly off into the distance with a look of contemplation drawn onto his face. His fingers were rapidly tapping the side of the railing impatiently. The man had long dark gray hair with a gray-and-black beard. He was also sporting a dark blue pinstriped suit that only made the figure that much more menacing. The beautiful lights that he was admiring from the city scene below him were marred with obnoxious honks and yells from the occupants below. Helicopters, and various other loud flying vehicles were also drowning out the natural beauty of the city. These ridiculous flying contraptions annoyed the man so greatly, that he swore on the River Styx that he would never ride in one of them ever. But being the God of the Sky made the oath very possible, so this absolute promise meant little to him in terms of danger. Now being quite bored from leaning against the railing for a whole hour, the man decided that he needed to sit down. Choosing a nearby bench to sit in, he quickly made his way over to it and began to stroke his beard with annoyance.

"Where the hell is that man!" He thought quietly to himself. The man was suppose to be there an hour earlier. But knowing his brother, he already had suspected this would happen. His brother was always truant to all their important meetings, so why would this case be any different. Unconsciously reaching for his right pants pocket, he disappointingly grabbed air from within it. Frowning from his automatic coping mechanism, he let loose another groan of what he thought to have been one of many. Suddenly, a nearby sound was heard, which made the patiently waiting man feel a rush of joy.

Exiting the elevator, a man with black hair, a neatly trimmed beard, sea-green eyes, and a nice tan stepped out of it. He was wearing Birkenstocks (leather sandals), khaki Bermuda shorts, and a shirt with coconuts and parrots on it (or any other Hawaiian shirt), and a battered cap decorated with fishing lures. Like the other man, he had an aura that demanded respect from anyone who was near his vicinity. The man casually began walking to the seated man with a slow pace, much to the other man's disdain.

"I see you're still a prima donna," The annoyed man muttered out while patting the right side of the bench with his hand. The mocked man then sat down next to the other man with a large feral grin protruding from his mouth.

"Yo, long time no see huh brother?" The cheeky man replied back. His response was met with a snort from the other man. Even after countless years, his brother had changed very little in terms of personality. But he could also relate with his brother, since he too had changed little after all these years. Still, he wished his brother had at least changed his sense of style. He was always too serious, and his apparell matched his attitude perfectly.

"Quit the small talk, Poseidon." The now named man frowned slightly from the sudden atmosphere change. "You know why you're here correct brother?" The man asked while turning his head so that his eyes were now staring directly into the other man's eyes.

Scratching his head in thought, the man soon replied. "Oh I don't know, do you need me to cover for you again? Like the last hundredth time?" Poseidon smirked when he saw his brother's face uncharacteristically turn a slight shade of red.

"That is no joke, Poseidon! We both know that my wife gets quite temperamental when I do those stuff. Look at what she did to Hercules!" The fanatic man yelled much to the amusement of the other man.

"So really, why did you call me up here, Lord Zeus?" Poseidon asked, his demeanor now completely serious. Zeus, realising his brother was giving him the proper attention, nodded his head before talking.

"Someone has stolen something very precious from me. This item represents my power and my will. In essence, this weapon is the very symbol of my being." Zeus said while narrowing his eyes slightly.

Thinking quietly to himself, Poseidon soon let his jaw drop to the ground when he came to the answer.

"You-Your Master Bolt has been stolen? But how?" He asked, now very much concerned for his brother. But he was shocked, however, when his brother turned to face him with his eyes still narrowed. Actually, his eyes might have narrowed even more. Gasping in surprise, Poseidon immediately stood up so that he was now leveled with his brother. "You think I took the bolt? Are you truly that paranoid to believe that someone of your own flesh and blood would steal it from you? And besides, gods cannot steal symbols of power from each other anyhow!"He yelled back with anger laced in his voice. It was true, he and his brother had many conflicts over the years for the control of power. But, even if he did want to unseat his brother, stealing Zeus's Master Bolt was below him. If he were to ever take power from his brother, it would be from defeating him with his own powers.

Zeus, closing his eyes, calmly spoke up with a dominating tone resonating from it, "True, but there are many other ways a god can steal from another god without breaking the law." This statement made Poseidon go wide-eyed with rage.

"Are you accusing my son of stealing your stupid bolt? I haven't even met him, let alone talked to him because of your stupid rule!" He spat out with rage.

"Nevertheless, he is still capable of stealing it, and because of this I give you this warning," Zeus spoke while turning his entire body so that it was now facing Poseidon's own, "you have exactly ten days before the Summer Solstice to return my Master Bolt, either you or your bastard son, to me directly at Mount Olympus. If not, then brother, prepare for war." With this closing statement, Zeus walked away briskly towards the elevator, leaving Poseidon alone to absorb the grim news.

"Damn it brother, can't you see that you are making a horrible mistake!" Poseidon yelled. But his brother merely ignored his outburst, and rode the elevator back up to Mount Olympus.

Burying his face in his hands, Poseidon shook his head in disbelief. "Percy, I am truly sorry my son, but your world is about to change. I'm afraid that I have given you a burden that no son deserves to bare. But you are the only person who can solve this problem. If you do manage to complete this quest, and if we do not go to war, then I promise on the River Styx that I will explain everything to you afterwards. Be strong my son, because unlike me, you will not fail your loved ones." He prayed silently (Ironic, huh?). After a brief moment of despair, the depressed figure vanished in a swirl of water leaving nothing but small a water blotch that eerily resembled the God of the Sea. However, the figure was missing something very symbolic that helped distinguish him from the other gods. In his right hand, where there should have been his Trident, there was simply nothing.


~Camp Half-Blood~

Smelling the familiar scent of olive oil, Naruto's eyes slowly fluttered open so that his eyelids were half-opened when he saw it. Two steel colored eyes were staring deeply into his own when he realized, in that moment, that he was being watched in his sleep by the girl from yesterday.

"Gah!" Naruto shrieked out while quickly leaning his back onto the pine tree. He was now standing and was also now very much awake.

"You know, you talk in your sleep. Did you know that?" The girl asked in a casual manner.

"What the hell? Why were you watching me sleep, wise girl?" Naruto practically yelled making the young girl cringe a little from the unexpected noise. The girl, after recovering, rolled her eyes at Naruto's untold accusation.

"Relax sleeping beauty, I was only watching you for about a minute," Naruto narrowed his eyes suspiciously from her statement, obviously wary of the girl, "as to why I'm even here, Chiron wanted me to educate you a little more in Greek Mythology." Naruto, still a bit dazed from suddenly waking up, asked her a more personal question.

"Did I say anything weird while I was sleeping?" He asked seriously. Watching the girl's reaction, he noticed something was off when the girl muttered a quick no. "She's lying. She definitely heard something important." Naruto deduced before he decided to let her slide for the time being.

"Chiron said that he was telling you about the Twelve Olympians before I interrupted his little spiel. Do you remember where you had left off?" Naruto scratched his chin in thought.

"Hmm, we talked about the three powerful gods. Then we talked Ares, the God of Bloody War. Oh, I remember!" Naruto blurted out in his head. "Yeah, we left off with a person named Aphro something." Naruto answered back.

"The goddess whom I believe you are referring to is Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, joy." Annabeth muttered out dryly. "Well I already told you about my mom, Athena. So let's talk about another goddess. Demeter, Goddess of Agriculture. She is the main reason for why we have seasons here. But the explanation about her daughter, Persephone, is better told for another time." She said. Naruto simply shrugged his shoulder at this. The less explaining she did, the less he would have to remember. Shit, he already forgot about some of the other gods' names and powers. "Ugh, I really have to take these explanations more seriously." He thought sorely to himself.

"Then there's Apollo, God of Light. He's the god who carries the sun across the sky with his chariot. Without doing this, there would be no days. Next, we have Hermes. He is the messenger of the gods, and he also is the person who allows all unclaimed demigods to stay in his cabin." Naruto nodded at this, understanding perfectly well that he should be thankful to this god, even though he didn't actually stay in the said cabin. "Artemis is the Goddess of the hunt. I must warn you- since you are a man- that she well known for her hatred of men." Annabeth warned. "Continuing on, Hephaestus is the next god. He is the God of Fire and the Forge. He makes many weapons for the gods and heroes. Finally, we have the God of Wine, Dionysus. He is actually one of few gods you can meet easily with since he is our Camp Director. However, he dislikes heroes greatly and acts very unpleasantly around most campers here." She sighed, before glancing back at Naruto. She had unconsciously turned her head so that she was gazing back at the camp during her long, but brief, explanation for each of the Twelve Olympians.

Naruto, nodding that he understood what she had just told him, took the rare moment to speak up, "So, is that all you needed to do with me?" Annabeth slowly nodded her head in confirmation, not remembering Chiron telling her to explain anything else to the mysterious blond boy. Again, the boy nodded his head, before saluting. "Well, I guess I'll be off then." After speaking the last word, "Naruto" surprisingly went up in a cloud of smoke. Coughing from the sudden appearance of smoke, Annabeth waved away the smoke so she could see. To her astonishment, Naruto had completely disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Blinking several times in disbelief, she began to look around the pine tree for any signs of the boy. Obviously, she found nothing. This conclusion frustrated her immensely. What she just witnessed defied any logic within her thinking. Turning back so that she was facing the camp once again, she noticed an orange blur cross her sight from the corner of her left eye. Knowing full well what that blur was, she began racing after it, determined with catching and bombarding it with all her newfound questions. The pine tree was once again alone when Annabeth left to catch the sneaky blond. Now alone, if someone had watched the tree carefully, they might have noticed the tree make an unnoticeable shake from the base of it.


Naruto was now sprinting through the camp. He didn't want to leave Annabeth like the way he did. But he also wanted to- at the same time- explore around the camp by himself. So he compromised by silently creating a clone and leaving it with her. He also figured that he wouldn't miss anything since the clone's thoughts would come back to him once it dispersed. Just around that time, however, the now dispersed clone had its thoughts transferred to the original's. Face-palming himself, he cursed quietly at the clone for poofing out of existence. Sure, it would be a normal circumstance in his other world, but Naruto was quite sure that this world would look at all his ninja action's as odd and foreign to them. Sighing lightly, he decided to stop running and to gaze at his now new environment. There really wasn't much to see. A few cabins were littered around him, but other than that there was just training areas. This place was definitely more representative of a military camp than a regular one. Hearing gasps from a certain direction, Naruto noticed a now forming group of people surrounding a particular building. Curious as always, he began walking towards it.

When Naruto finally got there, he was greeted to the sight of a familiar girl who was drenched from head to toe. There were also other teens who were wet as well, but not as much as the said the girl. However, they all had a look of murderous intent on their faces, and it was all directed to a certain boy in front of them, who was now rubbing his hair sheepishly from nervousness.

"I don't suppose a simple apology will do even though you did try to dunk my head in the toilet," Percy mumbled the last part. The girl had her hands clenched in anger. It was pretty evident that she felt absolute loathing for the boy.

"Why is always the females who are the scariest." Naruto grunted to no one in particular.

"This-This is not how it's suppose to work! Newbies are supposed get this treatment not me!" Clarisse screamed while still very much glaring at him.

"Then why didn't I get pranked, warrior girl?" Naruto interrupted while slowly walking beside the boy he had saved two nights ago. Percy's eyes went wide-open in recognition of Naruto. But before he could say anything to his savior, a very angry female reclaimed his attention.

"You're strong, unlike that piece of scum. You actually defeated his opponent since he was too weak to do it himself." She retorted, unaware of her current state because of her anger toward the young black haired boy.

"There is more to a person being called strong than fighting, you know?" Naruto replied back.

"What else could possibly deem a person worthy than fighting?"

"Oh I don't know, a person's loyalty, bravery, determination, and many other things." Naruto listed before giving the boy beside him a light punch.

"Hey, what was that for?" Percy asked, puzzled as to why this boy was now bullying him.

"I'm just a bit annoyed that every time I have seen you, you have either been fighting with something or someone." Naruto shook his head in disappointment.

"Hey, move out of the way kid! I have no quarrels with you. It's the boy beside you that I wish to teach a lesson to." Clarisse warned while pointing directly at Percy. This made Percy gulp a bit from being called out in front of so many people who had now encircled them. Naruto looked between the two people with a look of thought. Shockingly, Naruto simply shrugged his shoulder and moved away from Percy, much to the young boy's horror.

"Wait, why are you leaving? Do you really want to see the person you saved die by this barbaric girl?" The scared boy pleaded much to Naruto's annoyance.

Rolling his eyes, he glanced back at Clarisse who now sported an unnatural smile on her face. "Kid, I would advise you not to agitate your opponent, especially this one. And for the reason why I am not helping you. How should I put this. You start a war, you fight it yourself. I will not fight your wars if I don't need to." Naruto muttered much to the boy's terror and the girl's delight.

"Damn, I think I'm in love." Clarisse muttered out sarcastically, while still smiling like a mad woman. This made Naruto chuckle. He did not expect the God of War's daughter to ever mutter those words out. Both demigods pulled out their respective weapons, Clarisse grabbed the electrified spear that was attached to her back. Meanwhile, Percy, still conflicted as to whether or not he should fight this girl, finally uncapped his pen much to his disdain. Instantly, the pen became a three foot tall double-edged celestial bronze sword. The two combatants then slowly began to circle around one another. But before anything could happen, a yell was heard from within the crowd.

"Stop you guys!" A heavily huffing Annabeth shouted while trying to regain her breath, "Clarisse, you know what Chiron told you, no fighting until Friday!"

"Yeah, and what's to stop me from breaking that deal?" Clarisse replied, gripping her spear tighter in annoyance.

"Do I need to remind you about the last time you broke one of Chiron's little deals muscle head?" Annabeth warned. She then felt a sense of satisfaction when she saw Clarisse's face go deathly grey. Knowing her threat was a direct hit, she began shooing away the crowd much to their disappointment of not seeing a battle. Clarisse, however, cursed loudly to Percy before storming off with her supporters following closely behind her.

Letting go a breath that he was unknowingly holding in, he sighed loudly to himself. He let himself fall to the ground so that he was laying with his back on it. He was really happy that he didn't have to fight that girl or else he was afraid that she would have absolutely annihilated him.

"Where do you think you are going, Naruto?" Annabeth said while tapping her right foot with impatience. During the chaos Naruto had tried to escape, but was quickly apprehended by the daughter of Athena. Knowing that he couldn't escape without attracting more attention to himself, he relented and began walking back to where the two teens were. "You owe me an explanation," She stated while glaring at the young shinobi.

"Well, what you experienced was one of my abilities I guess." Naruto finally answered. But the look she was still giving to him, he knew she still was not content with that answer. "Okay, I guess it wouldn't hurt too bad if I told you a little more about it. The ability simply allows me to clone myself. The clone can do whatever I can do to a certain degree. But it can be cancelled by a simple attack or by yours truly." Annabeth took her thinking pose, which was having her pointer finger on her chin, while her left hand was idly creating motions that resembled circles. "Speaking of abilities, what was that you did to Clarisse?" Naruto asked, now looking down at Percy who was still laying flatly against the ground.

Shrugging his shoulders, he answered back, "I don't really know myself. One moment I was being dragged into the girl's bathroom, the next moment the water from the toilet explodes out and pours Clarisse and her gang out of the bathroom. I'm surprised though that I don't seem to be wet in the very least." Percy added while frowning from the statement.

"Wait Percy, you actually controlled the water?" Annabeth asked. She had quietly joined their little discussion after she was done thinking about Naruto's earlier ability.

Percy instantly noticed the girl when she walked towards them. He couldn't help but to blush slightly from having an attractive girl speaking directly to him. But he quickly remembered that the girl had asked him a question. Looking up in thought, he suddenly got to his feet before replying, "Yeah, you could say that. It was a really strange feeling now that I think about it."

Naruto noticed that Annabeth had the same look on her face that she had earlier when he asked her if she heard anything strange from himself while he was sleeping.

"I see…" She whispered. This made Percy give her a strange look before diverting his attention once again back to Naruto.

"Forgetting your most recent actions, I have to thank you for saving Grover and I or else we would have surely been killed." Percy stated before reaching his hand out. Noticing what the boy was asking, Naruto quickly reciprocated the boy's welcoming gesture. "The name's Percy Jackson."

"Yo, my name is Naruto Uzumaki. As for helping you and your friend out, it's no big deal since the place I'm from, I am constantly saving people's live." "I am also taking them…" Naruto thought sadly to himself. Percy noticed his sudden sad attitude and decided to change the subject.

"So what I have learned from this place, every camper here is a demigod, or half a god to be more precise." Naruto nodded in agreement but was wondering where this conversation was leading them towards. "Then that means we both are either a child of a god or a goddess." Again, Naruto nodded in agreement. "Okay, I don't suppose you know who your parent is then?" Percy asked innocently. Naruto frowned slightly from the question. From what he had known before, he definitely knew his parents. But he didn't remember any one of them as potentially being either a god or goddess. Shaking his head, Percy groaned with disappointment.

"I'm guessing you don't know your parent as well?" Percy nodded his head in confirmation. But Naruto had already deduced who his parent could have been. "Well hearing that you controlled the water in the toilet, it would be a safe guess that your parent is Po-" A hand was quickly clasped in front of Naruto's mouth, effectively muffling his last words. Glaring slightly at the girl who had interrupted his revelation, he noticed Annabeth mouth the words, "I'm sorry." Huffing with frustration from not being able to speak his mind, he gently removed her hand from his mouth. Percy though had stared at the scene between them with a funny look.

"Naruto was going to say that your parent could have potentially been one of the Olympians." Annabeth hastily replied, hoping that Percy wouldn't press on. Thankfully, he seemed to be content with that information. "Thank the gods this boy is dense beyond all reason!" She silently thought before, unexpectedly, pulling Naruto to the side in order to have a private discussion with Naruto much to Percy's confusion.

"Don't you remember what I said earlier? The three gods were never suppose to have children! If what you were about to blurt out is true, then the oath would have been broken for the second time!" Annabeth hissed, not realizing her slip up. But Naruto, actually listening intently, caught it.

"There's another child?" Naruto asked. Annabeth slapped herself mentally for revealing such an impactful secret.

"Do you, Naruto, swear on the River Styx to not tell anyone what I am about to tell you?" Annabeth demanded. Realizing the seriousness, he nodded in agreement. "Repeat it out loud!" She commanded.

Sighing with annoyance, he reluctantly did as he was told, "I, Naruto, swear on the River Styx to never tell anyone about what you are about to tell me." Suddenly a loud boom could be heard in the distance. "Thunder? But there's no storm clouds anywhere." He thought quizzically to himself.

Annabeth, now satisfied with his oath, spoke up in a hushed tone, "Thalia, Thalia Grace was the first child to have been born from the three gods. Her father was, ironically, Zeus. Now, hiding her relationship with Zeus from the other two gods was nearly impossible. So it was no surprise to any of us that Hades was the one who found out their connection. Knowing she would pretty much die unless she went somewhere safe, it was decided that she come stay at Camp Half-Blood. But Hades knew she would come here, that's why he sent monsters from the depths of Tartarus to kill her. We were extremely lucky to have managed to get her to the entrance of Camp Half-Blood but…" She trailed off. Naruto let her weep quietly to herself before she felt comfortable again to talk. "But we weren't fast enough to make it. Thalia, knowing the outcome, sacrificed herself so that Luke, Grover, and I would make it. Zeus, pitying her death, transformed her into a pine tree that you had slept under last night. She now protects the camp with a magical barrier that prevents any monsters from entering." Annabeth was now gazing toward that particular tree.

"Wow, no wonder I felt safe near it." Naruto realized before noticing that Annabeth was about to cry once more. Without thinking, he wrapped his arms around her for comfort, and began whispering soothingly into her ear. "Hey, don't cry wise girl. I too have had my share of losses." He whispered. Annabeth blushed heavily from the proximity of the older boy, and was quite surprised that he had decided to hug her. But she didn't pull away, she felt quite comfortable wrapped around the mysterious boy's arms and was now feeling a lot better.

"He smells a lot like ramen." The girl giggled silently to herself. They stood there together for a moment longer before a cough was heard. Realising suddenly that Percy was standing literally twenty-five yards from them, they quickly separated with small colors of pink dotted across their cheeks.

"Thank you." Annabeth muttered out quietly, her blush still present on her face.

"Erm, no problem." Naruto replied back awkwardly. He still wasn't used to female contact after all these years.

"So, what now?" Percy asked. Hoping to get past that strange moment between Naruto and Annabeth. Annabeth buried her face in her hands. She had forgotten to tell them something important.

"Ugh, I forgot to tell you guys that tomorrow is Friday!" Suddenly, a look of understanding crossed the two boy's faces. The understanding was the same, evidently, the two reactions were totally different.

"Hell yes, tomorrow's gonna be fun!" Naruto cheered while jumping up and down with joy.

"I'd mind as well sign my funeral papers then…" Percy groaned from the thought of Clarisse impaling his heart with her spear.

"It's settled, I want both of you on my team!" Annabeth stated proudly. "Luke should be ecstatic from this. " She said, again, mostly to herself.

"Oh yeah, who is Luke?" Naruto asked, remembering that name from earlier.

"That's right! Luke is the son of Hermes and is the Head Counselor for the cabin. I know when you meet him, you'll find that he is a very likeable guy." Both Naruto and Percy nodded. However, Annabeth decided now was the best time to get some real answers from Naruto. "I think it is time you two met Mr. D." Naruto knew the nickname but Percy, not being informed earlier, had a look of confusion drawn onto his face. "Dionysus." The single name still didn't help Percy much, but he was content with the person's actual name. Leading the boys to a rather large building, compared to others, she opened the door and motioned for them to walk in.


When they walked in, they quickly noticed two men- quite engrossed- in a heated argument with one another. The man on the left with horse legs was easily identified as being Chiron. Using the simple process of elimination, the man on the right had to be Dionysus. "This guy is a god?" Naruto and Percy both muttered out in unison. The questioned man quickly had a tick mark on his forehead from the lack of respect from the two insolent teenagers.

"What, have you two ever seen a god before?" Mr. D growled. Both boys shook their heads and the God of Wine continued, "Then be quiet you poor excuses of a demigod." The boys cringed slightly at the insult.

"Now, now I think it would be quite rude of you if you did not formally introduce yourself, god." Chiron chuckled. But Mr. D rolled his eyes before snapping his fingers. The boys were suddenly wrapped up in grapevines in an instant. They had sprouted from the floor beneath them and had wrapped themselves tightly around the poor boys.

"I am Dionysus, God of Wine, Madness, Party, and everything else you deem currently relevant. Right now though, I am the Camp Director and your superior." He glared at the two boys who were still struggling to break free of their restraints. Noticing that they were not listening, he made some of the vines wrap around the boy's heads and turn them so that they were now facing him. "Listen up you punks, you will respect me. Even if you are classified as heroes, you are nothing more than glorified teenagers." He spat out while reaching across the table for his glass of diet coke.

"What do you even have against heroes anyways." Naruto asked. He was quite interested as to why this particular god hated demigods.

Narrowing his eyes, Mr. D cleared his throat before getting out of his chair and began walking towards them so that he was now directly in front of both boys. Looking directly into his eyes, both boys could see a purplish fire emanating from his pupils. "You heroes never change. You accuse us gods of being vain. You should look at yourselves. You take what you want, use whoever you have to, and then you betray everyone around you. So you'll have to excuse me if I have no love for heroes. You are a selfish, ungrateful lot." Mr. D explained before releasing the boys from his vines.

Percy and Naruto tenderly rubbed their sore wrists and unconsciously took a hesitant step backwards.

"What's your names again?" Mr. D thought quickly to himself before finishing his thought, "Oh right, you on the left must be Perseus, and you on the right must be Naru."

"It's Naruto/Percy!" Both boys yelled from being called their wrong names.

"So he has already began calling them by their wrong names." Chiron thought quietly to himself while sighing softly at his co-worker's show of affection.

"Eh, same thing." Mr. D corrected while sitting down into his chair once again. "So, how can I help you brats?" Both boys looked at Annabeth who quickly became nervous from the sudden attention she was receiving. "Oh, is there something I can help you with, Anna Bell?"

"Umm about that. I was wondering Mr. D if you could explain to all of us how you knew Naruto wasn't from our world." She asked while ignoring Mr. D's name calling. This small revelation made Naruto look at Mr. D with a questioning gaze.

Rubbing his chin in thought, everyone leaned in closer, including Chiron, when Mr. D answered Annabeth's question. "That's easy Anna Bell. I'm a god." He answered back nonchalantly. Everyone face-faulted from hearing that obvious statement.

"We know!" Everyone yelled back. There was also a quieter yell about him not saying their name right that no one seemed to have heard, much to the girl's frustration.

"Alright, I'll let you in on a little secret okay?" Mr. D relented much to everyone's relief that they were going to get some kind of answer from him. He then set his sight directly onto Naruto's lone figure. "Naru, the reason why I know that you're not from this world is because I know your parent. And they specifically told me about you." Mr. D snickered from seeing everyone's shocked face. Naruto, especially, was probably the most shocked from this statement.

"Why would my parent ever talk to you? You're nothing more than a bitter, lazy, party whore!" Naruto yelled out in disbelief. Ever since saw the man, he knew he disliked him greatly.

"Hmph, that is exactly what your daddy said to me when we first met." Dionysus grumbled out while taking a sip from his goblet. The whole room suddenly froze from that last sentence. Naruto was completely dumbfounded by the new information. In fact, he felt like a little piece of him had just died then and there.

"My fa-father was no god." Naruto stuttered out while still recovering from his shock. This made Mr. D roll his eyes however.

"Hello! Shape shifting? Ever heard of it? Gods can also do it, not just ninjas." Mr. D waved his hand across his face in order to get his point across. "Have you ever wondered why you always seemed to have been a natural at transforming?" Noticing Naruto's jaw drop, he continued, "Yeah, I know all about what you people call Jutsus and stuff. Please, what kind of gods would we be if we didn't know anything about your world? Don't answer that, it was a rhetorical question. Oh, and props on killing Madara, kid. It isn't easy killing one of Ares's children." Mr. D congratulated while giving him the thumbs up. To say Naruto was blown away by the revelation would have been an understatement. He was currently on his hands and knees, panting uncontrollably from the influx of new found information. His eyes were as wide as saucers. His mouth in the shape of a wide-O. His whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

Everyone else stared at the shaking figure with a sense of pity, even Mr. D felt a little regretful about the way he revealed some stuff, but not all of it. This boy deserved to know the truth and, damn it all, the boy was going to get it.

"Yes, in fact, the whole Uchiha Clan was related to Ares in some form or another. Now that I think about it, Ares truly is a cruel god. Making the basis of the Uchiha Culture revolve around blood and death. Hmph, his gift, the Mangekyō Sharingan, was more of a curse than anything else. Killing your own kinsman in order to obtain power, unforgivable." Mr. D muttered the last sentence quietly to himself. To his surprise, he found his shirt being grabbed roughly by a very angry looking shinobi.

"What else have you not told me that I should know about?" Naruto demanded angrily while glaring dangerously at the now sympathetic looking god.

"I've said too much." Mr. D mumbled out quietly before wisping through Naruto's hands in a purple haze. Naruto blinked at his hands in astonishment for a couple of seconds before snapping out of his trance like state. He was about to lunge at the god before he felt two soft objects rest gently onto both his shoulders. Glancing quickly at his shoulders, he noticed that they were hands, and that they belonged to both Percy and Annabeth.

"Stop it Naruto, he is not your enemy." Annabeth whispered soothingly, trying to calm the crazed boy. Percy merely nodded in agreement. Comprehending the situation, Naruto noticed that everyone was looking at him with a pleading look. Finally, Naruto relaxed his body. He allowed his body to hit the floor and he sat there with one hand on his knee. Annabeth then peered back at Mr. D.

"I understand then, sir. I believe it would be best if we go now." Annabeth stated. Chiron said a quiet goodbye while Mr. D simply flicked his hand in a farewell manner. The two teenager were about to leave until they noticed that Naruto was now standing directly in front of Mr. D's desk. Worried that something bad was going to happen, they waited near the door.

Naruto never drew his eyes away from the god. He didn't even bother to blink. Instead, he clenched both his fist's so tightly, they were now turning ghostly white.

"Mr. D. Who was my father?" Naruto asked in a soft tone, which surprised Dionysus greatly since he was expecting another shouting match to occur. Smiling warmly towards the boy, Mr. D replied back in a serious tone.

"Naruto, I am not obliged to be one to tell you who your father is. Only your true father can tell you. Same thing goes for you too, Percy." Mr. D stated seriously. Naruto, understanding that this was the only information that he was going to get out of the god, huffed in dissatisfaction. He turned hastily so that he was now facing away from the god, and walked quickly towards the door. When he met up with the two teens who were waiting for him, he simply nodded to them and walked out. They soon followed suit. Sighing quietly to himself, Chiron walked up to a window and watched the three teens walk back to camp under the now setting sun.

"You think we should have told him who his father was?" Chiron asked. Mr. D just played with the goblet in his hand before replying back.

"And have him forever mad at us? Nah, I think I'll pass." He answered back plainly. "Still, the Uchiha revelation was a little unwarranted. Considering the fact that his best friend was one." Shaking his head from this rare moment of sympathy, he went back to bickering with Chiron about how long Percy would last against Clarisse in the Capture the Flag game tomorrow.


The walk back to camp was painfully slow, both for Naruto and Percy. Annabeth meanwhile was in deep thought about the recent events that had just occurred.

"Sasuke was related to Ares?" Naruto kept thinking while he was walking. Percy was thinking about his father and who he could have been. He was also upset at the fact that his dad didn't save his mom from being killed by the Minotaur. He could have forgiven his dad's neglect for him if only he had tried to save his mom.

It was night out when they finally reached Annabeth's cabin. "Well today was interesting, huh?" She stated while trying to make small talk from the suddenly silent boys. Percy merely nodded while Naruto looked her straight in the eyes.

"Yeah, to say it wasn't would be a lie haha." Naruto haphazardly laughed. He too was trying to make the overall mood more lively. Percy, being dense as ever, couldn't get the hint.

"Guys, today just sucked." Percy said completely oblivious to the sullen atmosphere. He quickly received a stern glare from the other two teenagers and decided that he should just be quiet for the rest of the night.

"Naruto, if I remember correctly, you slept outside." Annabeth stated. Naruto merely shrugged in a 'duh' manner. Ignoring that gesture, Annabeth continued, "Well wouldn't you be more comfortable if you slept in a, oh I don't know, tent?" She asked sarcastically.

"I guess. But I don't really have a tent do I?" Naruto answered back not quite understanding where she was going with this.

"In the name of Zeus, you are two are denser than a log!" Annabeth cried out in exasperation. She quickly raced inside her cabin and came out immediately with a small box. "Here, inside this box is a tent. Seeing as we have our own cabin, I think it would be put to more use with you two." She said while handing the box off to Percy.

"Thank you, Annabeth. You truly are the kindest girl here!" Naruto complimented her cheerfully since he was getting a free tent. This made her blush a slight tint of pink. She was not used to any kind of affection from a boy, no less a compliment.

"Re-Really, you don't have to thank me. It's just the right thing to do." She corrected him. She was thankful that it was dark, or she feared that they would see her face and ask about her blush.

"Whatever you say, Annabeth. We'll see you tomorrow and, together, we'll kick some Ares Cabin's ass!" Naruto shouted before slowly walking towards the direction of Thalia's tree.

"Naruto, please don't remind me." Percy whined while trailing behind Naruto with a defeated posture. Naruto simply laughed, a genuine one, at the pessimistic boy while they were walking. When they got to the pine tree, they began to set up their tent and before long they were sleeping cozily inside. The tent was quite large, allowing two people to easily sleep inside of it. They needed the extra room since both teenagers, unknowingly, kicked a lot in their sleep. Not to mention they also sleep talked. Nevertheless, they were both able to fall asleep.


~Later that Night~

Naruto woke up abruptly. He was woken up by a strange sound and smell. Frowning slightly when his eyes were now adjusted to the dark, he noticed immediately that something was amiss, he then promptly went over to Percy and attempted to wake him up. But doing so was easier said then done. For the life of him, Percy kicked like an all-star kick boxer when he was asleep. He took two shadow clones to restrain the boy, and even then the boy unconsciously resorted to trying to headbutt him. "Damn, if all you're worried about is Clarisse killing you tomorrow, then you truly underestimate your own ability to kick some serious ass tremendously!" Naruto thought loudly to himself before getting a solid thud to the face courtesy of Percy's right foot. "Sorry Percy, but waking you up the slow and gentle way just won't work with you." Naruto growled before slapping the boy hard on his right cheek. Amazingly, the boy seemed to just barely feel it because Percy merely twitched his eyelids from the pain. "What? He might be as heavy as a sleeper as Pervy Sage was!" Naruto remarked before he heard a pained whisper escape from Percy.

"Eh, what do you want Naruto." Percy whispered, while trying to fall back to sleep. Naruto, not wanting to try to wake him up again, grabbed his shoulders and shook him violently until the said boy was awake.

"Percy, this is very important. Can you look up into the sky and tell me what you think of the stars?" Naruto asked with a surprisingly serious voice. Percy narrowed his eyes slightly so that he could see the night sky clearer.

"If I explain it to you, will you promise to let me go back to sleep?" Naruto nodded his head. This prompted Percy to sit-up and gaze at the stars for a moment before sharing his analysis of the night sky. "Okay, from what I see, I see millions of possible stars that could house life on another planet in their Solar System. Also, the reason the stars all look like they have the same brightness is because they are millions of light-years away from Earth." Percy deduced out loud. Noticing that Naruto had face-palmed himself during his scientific explanation, Percy growled out from the lack of attention the boy was giving him. "Okay Mr. Smarty Pants! What are your thoughts about the stars?" He asked in a mocking tone.

"You idiot, Percy, someone has stolen our tent!" Naruto finally yelled out. That was when Percy realised why he was feeling a gentle breeze all of a sudden. Glancing quickly around his surroundings, he quickly concluded that they were, indeed, missing their tent. "Who ever stole this tent is going to pay!" Naruto finalized before getting back up and pacing back and forth while in deep thought. Percy just sighed since he believed that the boy was thinking up a prank to get even with the thieves. But then, he heard an odd ruffling coming from behind him a ways. Turning his head around, he suddenly paled at the sight before him.

Feeling a tap on his right shoulder, Naruto was about to yell at Percy for interrupting his thinking until he saw Percy pointing at something. Following the boy's finger, he soon came upon the sight that had caused fear into Percy. There, hanging from some trees, was their tent. Only it was now ripped and a large flap of it was hung on top of a tree trunk like a flag. The "flag" had a red painted boar-shaped helm drawn onto it. Narrowing his eyes so that they could now be described as slits, Naruto suddenly began to march back to camp, taking each step with a sense of purpose. Knowing how unpredictable the boy was, Percy decided to follow after him. He only prayed that Naruto didn't go too overboard with his prank since tomorrow he was probably going to personally die from Clarisse's hatred towards him and Naruto's prank. "I really hate games."


~The Next Day~

Clarisse woke up with a large grin adorning her face. She leaned her head back and tilted her head slightly to the left. Her digital clock said it was 7:00 AM. But more importantly, the word Friday was flashing off of it. Swiftly jumping out of her bed, she began to get prepared for her battle later on that day. The rest of her cabin mates were still asleep since she always tended to get up about an hour earlier than they did. It took her about thirty-minutes to get dressed and prepared (She's pretty much a soldier) and randomly decided to look out the window. What she saw scared the living shit out of her. The camp was currently being attacked by a giant serpent. Quickly, she grabbed her spear and shield, and raced out the door as physically fast as possible. What she failed to notice was that right outside her door, there was a mess of marbles scattered across her entryway. Because she was moving so fast, she could not stop her momentum entirely, so when she stepped on the marbles, she slid comically across the surface of her walkway, and into a big pool of mud. Of course, the funniest part was that she was shrieking quite uncharacteristically the whole way. When she got out of the pool of mud, she was absolutely covered in it. But that was only half of the prank. Apparently, Naruto had woken up the entire camp, and they were all now standing there laughing their asses off from what they just witnessed. She then noticed suddenly that Mr. D and Chiron were there as well. But what really caught her attention was Mr. D's video recording device.

"Yeah, perfect! Hmm, can you turn around please so I can capture the mud on your back, dear?" Mr. D asked in between chuckles. Clarisse was pissed. No, she wanted to kill the man responsible for this. Rapidly going through her list of suspects, she deduced that Naruto was the culprit since she had pranked him earlier. Learning her lesson, she decided that any future pranks on Naruto would hurt her more than it would him. Now the only thing that would put her in a happy mood again was the death of a certain black haired boy. Turning around and walking back into her cabin, she groaned mentally to herself that she would have to take more time in cleaning herself of all the mud now caked onto her. However, Naruto and Percy were laughing their asses off from behind the large group of people who had formed in front of the Ares Cabin. They didn't notice two people walking up to them, both sporting large grins.

"Naruto, you do know that Clarisse is now definitely going to kill Percy right?" Annabeth asked worriedly. But she didn't give the impression that she was worried since she was still giggling from the prank.

"Well done, Naruto. As the Head Counselor for the Hermes Cabin, you have our utmost respect." The unnamed boy stated while bowing down respectfully in front of Naruto. But this boy could only be…

"Luke. That is your name correct?" The now named boy nodded. "Well, thank you but I think the bow was little too much wouldn't you agree?

"Of course not. Anyone who could prank Clarisse likes that deserves that and more." Luke retorted. He then glanced at Percy and gave him a welcoming wave. "You must be Percy. It's an honor to finally meet you." Luke said while also bowing down to Percy.

"A little too welcoming are we?" Naruto snorted mentally to himself. Oh well, there were worse kinds of people out there.

"Ahem, yes, that was indeed a good showing young chap." Mr. D interrupted them while talking in a British accent.

"Why are you talking British?" Annabeth asked politely. But Mr. D rolled his eyes at the question.

"Anna Bell, you are such a party pooper you know that?" This made Annabeth narrow her eyes slightly at the man.

"Okay everyone let's calm down. Everyone, meet me in the forest so we can begin our game." Chiron relayed to all the camp members. Everyone cheered with excitement before leaving towards the forest to participate in the weekly game of Capture the Flag. Both Annabeth and Luke nodded before following after. Naruto glanced back at Percy and saw a worried look on his face. Groaning to himself, he walked up to Percy and rested a hand on his left shoulder, "Percy, if you stay close to me then I swear on the River Styx you will not die." Naruto promised. And on cue, a loud sound of thunder could be heard in the sky. "I could get used to that." Naruto thought lightly to himself before gesturing Percy to follow him to the forest. He complied, and together they made their way to it.


When they finally reached the location, Chiron had everyone circle around him. "The rules are the same as always: The creek is the boundary line, the entire forest is fair game, all magic items are allowed, the flags must be prominently displayed and can have no more than two guards, prisoners may be disarmed, but may not be bound or gagged, killing or maiming is NOT allowed, the punishment for breaking this rule is loss of dessert (for one week), and guards aren't allowed to stand within ten yards of the flag." Everyone nodded their heads in understanding. They were about to start the game until Annabeth noticed both Naruto and Percy were missing a piece of important equipment.

"Wait everyone!" She pleaded, much to many people's annoyance. "Percy, Naruto, do you guys have any armor?" She asked. Percy was about to say no for the both of them until he noticed Naruto rolling up both his arm sleeves and pant sleeves so that only his bare skin was showing from his legs and forearms. He then noticed that there appeared to be a type of seal inked onto Naruto's skin. Rubbing his forearms with the opposite hands while applying Chakra to them, he unsealed his metal forearm protectors and began proceeding to do the same things with his legs. They also unsealed into leg protectors. Annabeth was amazed at this, but she kept quiet until she knew Naruto was done unsealing all of his armor. Noticing he was missing a chest protector, she raised an eyebrow before asking, "Uh Naruto, I think you're missing something." Naruto looked at her puzzled until realization dawned on him when she stared directly at his chest.

"Right, almost forgot. Thanks wise girl!" Naruto thanked. Without warning though, he lifted his shirt up so that his chiseled chest was exposed to the world. He heard a lot of 'ooh's' and 'aah's' from a specific group of girls from within the large crowd. Even Annabeth was turning red from ogling at his muscular and well defined chest. Percy simply rolled his eyes at Naruto's odd action. But underneath his shirt there was also a hand drawn seal on his skin. Performing the same actions he did earlier for the other seals, his seal poofed out a black flak jacket onto his chest while Naruto was also holding onto a rather large looking sword that was sheathed. Nonchalantly, he hung the large looking sword onto his back. But what really intrigued a lot of people, was the mask Naruto was now holding in his right hand. Naruto quickly placed his mask onto his face and looked at the dumbstruck campers. He was wearing a fox-styled porcelain mask that made many demigods intimidated by the menacing looking mask. But everyone silently agreed that Naruto looked completely bad-ass in his armor.

"Na-Naruto? What kind of armor is that?" Annabeth stuttered out in amazement.

Naruto casually began to look up and down his armor before replying back in a cheerful tone, "This is my Anbu Armor. It's armor worn for only the elite." Naruto stated. He was getting quite uncomfortable from all the stares that he was receiving before a commanding voice broke through the clearing.

"Naruto, is that you?" Turning around, Naruto noticed it was Clarisse. She was now cleaned and had now finally arrived at the clearing. She too was dumbfounded by Naruto's awesome looking armor. "In the name of Ares, you are the coolest demigod I have ever met!" She practically yelled with enthusiasm. She walked directly up to Naruto and scanned his uniformed figure closely. "My warrior boy, aren't you full of surprises." Clarisse stated mostly to herself while still scanning the boy up and down.

"Excellent looking armor there, Naruto. Now Percy do you, perhaps, have any armor of your own?" Now everyone's attention was diverted from Naruto's to Percy. They were all gazing at him expectantly. They hoped that Percy might have had the same awesome looking armor Naruto had.

Looking down dejectedly, Percy mumbled out a quiet no. Everyone groaned in disappointment, including Chiron who was also quite curious to see if the boy had anything decent on him. Nodding in understanding, he asked politely to the crowd of demigods if anyone of them might have any extra set of armor they were willing to give to him.

"I do." A voice was heard from the back of the crowd. The sea of people slowly parted, allowing for Luke to easily walk up to Percy with a leather chest plate and bronze helmet on each of his arms. "They might be a little big, but they should fit you fine until we can get you properly sized." Luke said apologetically. But Percy thanked Luke anyways and took the armor from the boy gratefully.

"Now that everything is set up; Teams, start at your base until you hear my command to begin." Happy that the game was finally beginning, everyone sprinted to their respective areas.

"Naruto, Percy, you two follow me okay? I'll lead you to the flag." Luke advised the two teens. They both nodded in confirmation when Percy spoke.

"What about Annabeth? What is she going to do?"

"She'll be fine Percy. Besides, this whole plan of attack was her idea and she is the daughter of Athena, Goddess of War Strategies." Luke reassured Percy, much to his relief.

"By the power invested in me, you may begin this game!" A booming voice commanded throughout the forest that everyone instantly recognized to be Chiron's.

"Here we go!" Luke cried out while sprinting forward. Naruto and Percy soon followed his lead, and sprinted in his direction.

It didn't take long for the three demigods to meet the opposition. However, the opponents they faced were the children of Ares. "Okay, there's only three of them. I can handle them. You go capture the flag. Knowing Clarisse, she and one of her minions will be waiting patiently for you there." Luke said while beginning to engage with the three oversized brutes. It was quickly becoming apparent that Luke was handling himself quite fine by himself. Looking at each other, both Naruto and Percy nodded and swiftly left to capture the flag.


When they finally got to a clearing, they could see a creek running through it. Both of them suddenly feeling thirsty, practically dove towards the source of the water and began drinking from it. They were enjoying the cool refreshing taste of the creek until they heard a twig snap. Instinctively, Naruto shoved Percy out of harms way while a large club smashed the area Percy was recently drinking from. Looking back up, Naruto noticed this man was similar to the other three demigods they had encountered. Frowning, Naruto couldn't help but notice a disturbing trend in the Ares Cabin. "Are all the Ares males big, dumb brutes like you?" Naruto jabbed at the giant looking figure who was now narrowing his eyes in anger.

"Joke all you want, but last I checked, I know my father." The teenager retorted knowing full well that insult to a demigod's parent was a touchy subject. Now it was Naruto's turn to narrow his eyes.

"Hmm, I was going to let you live and make incapacitating you a quick and painless way to go. But now that you have managed to royally piss me off, I think I'll let the gods judge your fate." Naruto threatened before unsheathing his katana. The man raised an eyebrow at the katana however. They didn't look that special, and being a child of Ares, no regular weapon could harm him. The man then began to laugh madly much to Naruto's pleasure. "Oh, you think this sword is nothing special do you? Well then, hold still so I can show you how arrogant bastards like you are treated in my world!"

"Haha, what can that puny swor-" But his insult was shortly cut off mid sentence. Looking down at his stomach, a large gash was drawn across it. Blood was now spewing out in all direction. The large teenager barely had anytime to form a single coherent thought before blacking out and falling backwards unconscious.

"It seems your daddy deemed you worthy enough to be kept alive." Naruto muttered out in a disappointed tone while his katana was singing a sharp hum and radiating a blue aura from it. After learning that Ares had affected his home earlier, his thoughts on Ares and any of his sons made the young teenager grimace with disgust. Quickly wiping off the blood from his sword, he realises that Percy was off in the distance fighting Clarisse, Naruto concluded that he should at least referee their little skirmish so that no one would die. He then quickly ran to where the two demigods were fighting fiercely.

"Oomph!" Percy grunted while landing on his back near the edge of the creek. The fight between he and Clarisse was going surprisingly well for him until she decided to become serious. From then on, it was no contest. Percy was getting his ass handed to him by Ares's daughter.

"Get up you insect!" She jeered at him while banging her spear on her shield. Percy groaned in anguish. He was looking at the sky, and realized it was almost as blue as the ocean.

"Go to the water." A gentle voice urged, tugging at Percy's consciousness to crawl towards the creek. He resisted at first, suspicious of this mysterious voice and power, but he soon relented since he was both too tired to do anything and, that, he began to slowly believe the words the mysterious voice told him. Clarisse had a smug look on her face when she saw Percy crawling towards the creek. In her head, she believed that Percy was trying to run away like a coward. When he reached the edge of the water, he rolled himself into the water and submerged his entire body completely. Immediately, he felt a rush of energy pour through him as he jumped up from his prone position. Everyone was now in the clearing, watching the epic fight between the two demigods. Naruto, however, was intrigued by Percy's new found energy.

"I think I was right. Ha, suck it Annabeth!" Naruto grinned mischievously towards Annabeth, who had now noticed Naruto's childish behavior towards her and had frowned slightly at his immature act.

"Is that all you got, crazy girl?" Percy asked mockingly while sporting a large grin and an over inflated ego.

Grinning back madly at the thought of a decent fight, she replied back with her own jab, "There's a lot more of that where it came from, fish boy!"

Both demigods then charged each other and began clashing majestically with each other's blow. Clarisse was doing everything textually correct. There was no flaw in her fighting style. Her parry's were on time, her stabs were performed perfectly during the most ideal moments of success, her footwork was flawless in that it could have been compared to a professional dancer's, and even her occasional taunts were obviously effecting the boy. But she just couldn't hit the damn boy. Not even once during their engagement. "What the hell is going on?" Clarisse screamed into her head. "Why. Can't. I. Hit. Him!" She kept repeating to herself until a momentary slip up on her part created an opening for her opponent. Percy, noticing that Clarisse was momentarily distracted, took advantage of the distraction and aimed a left punch into her gut. Widening her eyes in shock, she realized why she couldn't manage to hit the brat. From entering the water, he had actually become faster than before. Clarisse then fell forward and soon became sprawled on the ground, unconscious. The people watching their little fight were absolutely silent. That is until a certain blonde-haired boy began cheering and clapping. Soon everyone else followed suit. Percy simply smiled and waved while slowly walking towards the enemy's flag. No one dared oppose a boy who just defeated arguably the strongest demigod in the camp. Grabbing the flag, he triumphantly crossed the river that divided the middle of the forest. Shouting in triumph, everyone on Annabeth's and Luke's team surrounded Percy as he held up the flag proudly. Annabeth, however, needed to finally confirm her suspicions. When Percy was gently place back onto the ground, she asked him to walk back into the creek. Percy hesitated at first before complying. When he entered the creek, he instantly felt amazing.

"Percy, how do you feel?" Annabeth asked.

"Incredible, you guys should jump in too!" Percy cried out in ecstasy. But he was soon worried when he noticed Annabeth gazing at Chiron with a nervous look.

"This is bad, really bad." Annabeth muttered quietly to herself. Percy switched his sights towards Naruto. He was even more bewildered when he noticed that Naruto was in the creek also. He had a contemplating look on his face while his hands were slowly cupping up water towards his chest. Again, everyone's attention was now focused on Naruto's lone figure.

"This- this water does feel pretty amazing." Naruto mumbled to himself. Annabeth and Chiron just about fainted from hearing Naruto's similar experience to Percy's.

"What's going on?" Percy questioned, this whole scene was getting too weird for him to handle.

"Percy," Naruto said drawing the boy's attention back to him, "I-I think we're the sons of-" But Naruto is interrupted by a burst of green light above his head. Not knowing what it is exactly, he looks back at the camp members. Every one of their jaws is on the ground. Annabeth and Chiron look like they are about to pass out at any moment. Clarisse, well, she's still unconscious. Naruto then looked at Percy and gasped. He had a hologram of green light in the shape of a trident. There no mistaking who his father was. "You-you are the son of Poseidon, Percy." Naruto willed himself to say.

"Naruto, we both are the sons of Poseidon." Percy croaked out in disbelief. Right away, Naruto figured out that his earlier guesses were spot on. Both boys then looked back at the crowd of demigods, and were surprised at the sight of all of them bowing, including Chiron who now spoke out loud in an official tone.

"Poseidon, Earthshaker, Stormbringer, Father of Horses. Hail, Perseus Jackson, Son of the Sea God." A chorus soon follows after repeating the same declaration. Once they were done with Percy, it was finally Naruto's turn to be officially claimed and recognized by everyone.

"Poseidon, Earthshaker, Stormbringer, Father of Horses. Hail, Naruto Uzumaki, Son of the Sea God.


Whew, a long read indeed. I really hope you readers enjoyed this chapter. I tried to add some originality in what this scene could be considered as a "pantomime" usually. So now you know who Naruto's parent is. BUT, who will Naruto's girlfriend be? It could be goddess, demigod, Titan, nymph, mortal, shinobi, or even forbidden love (Male)! Well you guys can review and talk about this chapter. I will probably keep the same format.

Lastly, please, share your thoughts, opinion, and ideas by REVIEWING. That is all. So until next time, ciao!
