Chapter1

As the sun rose streams of light pierced through the curtains in the room of a small apartment. One of the small rays if the morning sun hit Naruto in the eyes causing him to wake up.

When Naruto managed to drag himself out of bed and start to trudge towards the kitchen for his traditional morning ramen when in the corner of his peripheral vision he saw a stranger!

Upon seeing this stranger reflex kicked in and he reached for one of his many hidden kunai and threw it at the man only to find it bury itself in the wall. Once Naruto had collected himself he turned and surveyed himself in the mirror remembering that his appearance had changed due to a "godly" henge being removed.

Looking in the mirror Naruto saw that his hair was now a black/blue colour it was also sleek, shoulder length hair while also being slightly spiked. His eyes had turned a deep violet colour with a vulpine slit pupils as well as a small pair of fangs!

After looking about he found a small letter on his bed side table along with a scroll the size of his summoning scroll!

Hello Naruto/

I am sorry I had to leave so quickly but this letter should explain a couple of items I did not have time to the other day.

1/The first is that the henge is now completely removed what you see in the mirror is what you truly look like!

2/ Unfortunately your friend kurama is no longer with us he always saw you as a brother/son so he managed to filter his chakra into you rather than dieing. Ironically this not only makes you the sage of the six paths but also the kyubi no kitsuni! I have spoken to the other Biju and they will look out for you as the link is still active.

3/ I have prepared a scroll with necessary items for the trip this includes scrolls to weapons to camping gear, they have been modified to make them effective against all enemies in this realm!

4/Once you have practised feel free to return to the nations just be aware there is a slight time difference between the locations, I just feel it would be cruel to lock out the saviour of our realm from his friends!

5/Due to the massive information dump from both kurama and madara ….and myself (I included local information including mythology) this might have a slight impact on your personality, might not but it is a possibility.

Any way as of right now your mother doesn't know your here but I am notifying her of your presence shortly I just had some issues to deal with due to the aftermath of the war.

I hope you have a good time.

From your aunt/

Naruto read the note a couple of times and turned to the scroll unravelling to look at the contents only to see that it was literally what was stated on the tin! An ungodly amount of shuriken and kunai, even hiraishin kunai but what surprised him was the inclusion of kubikiribocho as well as several custom swords ranging from tanto to chokuto.

Apart from the mobile arsenal also included was several of his new uniforms as well as what was labelled as "civilian clothes" as well as a section labelled "training" and "personal" reading!

The only thought that went through his head as he looked at this was 'Thank god for clones!'

a couple of months later

Richmond Virginia

Naruto had been travelling around the country placing tags for the hiraishin. He had worked on it and several other fuinjutsu at the end of the war thinking that they would come in useful in a situation such as this. Now here he was scouting the land and placing the markers in key locations. It was during one of these excursions that he came across a odd occurrence.

While in a small wooded area of Richmond he felt several small energy levels near by that peeked his interest as from what he could tell no one in the world he currently resided had anymore chakra than what was required to live, well except these supposed gods! So to find some people who registered above normal was unusual.

When he detected them he activated his seals bringing out his black ANBU armour and fox mask and shun shin to their location.

While standing on the roof above the three that are giving off the signatures watching them interact Naruto noticed several things, the first would be that like shinobi each seems to have a unique 'taste' to their power suggesting that they each have their own affinity. Also noticing how young the blond is Naruto couldn't help but feel sorry for them as they are just scared kids!

"You're part of our family now! We will look after each other from now on!" the blond boy says to the young girl who seconds ago had introduced herself as Annabeth

"Deal!" screamed the young Annabeth with a look of unbridled joy

"now tell me what are three kids doing out at this time of night?" Naruto asked after silently dropping down behind them

The sudden appearance of a masked man had all three of them on edge with their weapons drawn only to be taken aback when he started laughing.

"there is no need for the pointy sticks with me as apparently I am in a similar boat as you something about 'unusual' parentage?" stated Naruto only to receive dumbfounded looks causing him to sigh.

"Okay how about I introduce myself then?" said Naruto calmly slowly removing his mask and attaching it to his hip "My name is Naruto I was travelling the country when I came across you three and you looked like you needed help so I think I will travel with you as a sort of 'guardian' till you get to a safe location that is if you wish so?"

This statement seemed to snap the older two out of their trance as they went into a small discussion together about weather or not to let him join them.

"He said he was a half-blood!" said the older girl

"no he said 'similar situation' that could mean anything but I do admit something does feel ….different about him." said the boy looking over at Naruto who was doing his best to look innocent.

"well either way he certainly looks like he can handle himself especially with how he got behind us!" responded the girl

"true and considering he is an adult there will be less questions about why we are travelling we can pass off as a family and friend trip"the boy said with a humorous smirk on his face to the girl which went right over her head.

"Well are you wanting my help?" interrupted Naruto

"ehh sure but we need to get you a weapon to fight the monsters as..."

"don't bother I have an armoury in this scroll all made specifically to fight those pests"replied the enigma with a smirk at the questioning looks

"well shall we be off?" was all Naruto said as he started walking.

In the previous month the small group had bonded more than expected it was no longer that of travelling companions and more a small family. The fact that each of them had similar pains helped them bond. The kids seemed to look at Naruto as a wise/or at least knowledgable older brother and it really amused him as he was always being called an idiot back home.

Luke was slightly brooding but nowhere near as much as he was when Naruto arrived and it was because a simple conversation.

*flashback*

"hey Luke why do I always feel like your emotions could put the sun out?" Naruto asked the 14 year old one night only to receive a questioning look.

"ohh yeah I didn't explain that I am an empath did I? Hehehe!"

"no you did not but to explain all three of us were abandoned by one of our parents! I then had to watch my mother slowly sink into madness. So yeah dark emotions would sum it up about right." replied the blond

"well remember I told you that I was summoned here from another dimension?" said Naruto getting a nod from the blond as he remembered a rather shocking conversation they had had the week before.

"yeah well In my dimension I had two sets of parents my surrogate parents who died within two hours of my birth." explained Naruto getting a flinch from the boy

"then there is my father who I really have no idea what to think cause he died years before I was born but managed to resurrect himself and fight the combined armies of my world single handedly to the point of wining till me and a friend killed him." sighed naruto

"so basically I am related to one of the greatest warriors of my world but also one of the greatest criminals. As for my mother … after my father I just don't care, I have decided they can all get to fuck as long as I can take care of what is precious to me." said Naruto to the boy

"and I thought my family was bad" muttered Luke

"I know. The point is that Hermes is not who defines you, you are, you are Luke castellan brother of the two girls behind us and their guardian through thick and thin,the one who will look out for them when I cannot!" Naruto proclaimed with a look of determination.

*Flashback end*

Little Annabeth was a sponge for knowledge and was incredibly quick on the take up on most things. Also It was incredibly cute the way she followed her 'big brother' Luke around like a little puppy. She was over joyed when Naruto gave her the journal of one madara uchiha to read with the explanation of who it was and that he would like her to give him the idiots version when she was done, this caused her to laugh but she understood his reasons...plus it was a book she had never seen before of course she would jump at the chance!

Thalia though she was cold at first, distrustful that was until she followed Naruto into the woods and saw him training, all she saw was him swinging a sword bigger than her as if it weighed the same as a sheet of paper from then on she had been practically begging for him to train her only for him to ask why she fought or to ruffle her hair with a small smile.

As Naruto sat there in a tree branch he couldn't help but smile at the memories of how close they had all become. He was currently above the two small tents in the clearing in his full Black ANBU gear and due to the dead of night he had activated his sharingan to make sure that nothing got past.

With a small sigh he expanded his senses out a small ways and was shocked to feel a small party of...people? With this he dropped down and started to wake up the kids before darting off to asses the group.

Upon arriving at the small party he realised that they were experienced especially If they had managed to keep mostly hidden with the silver jackets they were wearing. There was also the fact that they were covering all their sides except one which spoke a lot of their experience...but then again no one expects an attack from straight up.

Naruto ghosted along above these 'hunters' as they slowly made their way through the forest, only to notice one start to fall behind... enter mischievous grin here.

It wasn't long ago that Naruto had woken the group up and warned them about an unknown group approaching. So they followed the procedure they had set up. Naruto would go and make sure it was safe or run a diversion while the three youngsters pack up the camp as fast as possible and start heading to one of the areas marked before hand as a meeting point.

It was just after the camp was packed away when 6 young girls in silver jackets burst out of the foliage with bows drawn.

"hmm what do we have here? Half-bloods? We shall take them before our mistress" proclaimed one of the girls, she was pretty with long black hair and matching eyes.

"erm okay but who would this mistress be?" asked Luke only to receive a slap

"silence boy! Be lucky we didn't riddle thou with arrows just for laying eyes on the hunt but to answer thy question thy shall see shortly. Bind him!"

On her order Luke was knocked unconscious and bound while the girls were lead into the forest their bags being carried by one of the hunters. They couldn't help but wonder what had happened to Naruto.

Thalia and Annabeth were both led into a rather impressive looking tent by the black haired girl and another hunter. Once inside they saw a small girl with shimmering silver eyes and bright auburn hair petting a wolf just sitting on a mound of furs without a care in the world.

"milady I have brought them." said the black haired girl

"thank you Zoe as efficient as ever" replied the young girl "there were 4 of them wasn't there?"

"no milady only three" said the now named Zoe

"I want you to find the other it wouldn't do to have a rogue demi-god tarnish my name and you are my best tracker, phoebe can help keep an eye here"

"I shall head out as soon as we are done milady"

"good"sighed the girl "now I have a proposition for you two how would you like to become one of my hunters?"

this caused thalia to smirk "okay two questions who are you and if you are who you claim to be by that question what is the hitch?" this caused two reactions one was a confused look from annabeth the other was pure anger from Zoe

"HOW DARE THY SPEEK TO MY MISTRESS LIKE SUCH!she raged

"Zoe calm yourself she meant no disrespect she is just being careful which I can understand fully."

said the girl before addressing thalia "well as you guessed yes I AM the goddess Artemis and the 'hitch' as you call it is that you fore go the company of men."

"so it is like the legend says eternal maidens who give up love for eternal life in the hunt? One hell of a trade off if you ask me especially if you can't even see your family outside the hunt, nope ill pass." said thalia with determination while getting a nod from Annabeth as well

"Unfortunate but I accept your reasons once we find your companion we will allow you on your way." said Artemis

"foolish." muttered Zoe

"what was that?" growled thalia

"thy is being foolish all men are but beasts that know nothing but how to betray for power and greed!" proclaimed the huntress

"hnn that is what you think of me well I guess I should just lop your mistresses head off instead of just walking my companions out then hmm?" asked a new voice...a male voice but what surprised every one was that it was coming from behind Artemis.

"how?","what?" "when?" a series of questions barraged the man in the mask standing over the auburn haired girl with a chokuto at her throat.

"well to answer in said order" he looked directly at the god "I am a shinobi of the elemental nations"

The implications of this statement where horrible for her that alone meant that he could be as strong as a minor god, she really hoped he wasn't one of the exceptions who were...more so. Then it hit her she had seen that uniform before!

"ANBU?" she whispered

"very good my little goddess you know my rank now your subordinate has insulted me greatly why should I not ...correct that?" said the figure leaving all but Artemis in the dark about his possible abilities.

"she is ignorant and her reasons for believing such are well deserved are also misplaced" said the goddess knowing that one slight mistake and her head would roll.

"good reason" said the masked man while sheathing his blade before turning to thalia "return to Luke I have issues to discuss with Artemis" in a tone that offered no room for discussion. Once receiving a nod from her he turned back only to receive a glare from the Zoe girl.

"Zoe calm yourself if I wished your mistress dead she would already be so before you knew." said the man in a serious tone that caused her to flinch.

"it is most likely true ANBU are trained in unparalleled stealth he could have had my head easily which only prompts why not?" she asked.

As a goddess in tune with nature and who tended to avoid contact with the world she was occasionally allowed entrance to that world it was why she new of their skills. She knew not many did other than reports of what was going on as it was the border between the Greeks and the Shinto a neutral zone if you will.

"Well one I have to return some one to you." only getting looks of confusion at this Naruto could tell no one had noticed the girls disappearance so he activated his EMS and brought her out of his kamui

"PHEOBE!" screamed Zoe "What did you do to her!"

"nothing the paper on her head has her in a state of unconsciousness I had her stored somewhere safe" explained Naruto with a hidden smirk "I actually find it funny that neither of you noticed that she was missing from this room for the last 5 minutes" leaving them both looking like gold fish

"any way the second reason I am here is to give you my dear goddess an offer which I advise you to take as it can only help your little groups effectiveness in combat but that will be up to you."

"and what might that be?" asked the goddess who was still trying to recover from the several shocks that this man had laid out before her.

"well..."

Chiron was sitting on the deck of the big house late at night just looking out considering how beautiful a night it was, he was even able to enjoy it to the fullest as Mr D had been summoned to Olympus for some kind of late night council. So he had his frank Sinatra playing softly in the background while reading a book.

For some unknown reason his thoughts drifted to a young satyr called grover it was his first time out in the field when he checked in he had some surprising news he had come across what looked like a group of demigods making their way to camp. But that wasn't the surprising part its that they were already claimed!

One was a son of Hermes and according to grover an incredibly powerful one as well as a good swordsman. There was also a daughter of Athena she was also very smart especially for her age. And lastly and most shockingly for Chiron a daughter of Zeus. Just as the iris message that grover was using was finishing he said something about an anomaly but it must be nothing to worry about cause they were only a day out when he called with no major problems.

All of a sudden a roar so loud that it threatened to tear up chunks of the earth came from the other side of the barrier causing chiron to immediately grab his bow and charge up the hill to see what was causing the commotion.

When he reached the top all he saw was four children running for their lives from a massive swarm. One of the group he immediately as the satyr grover as he was practically man handling a small blond girl up the hill who seemed to be trying to get back to the other two who were fighting a rear guard action, he had to admit it was a wise choice if only to buy time.

As he watched he saw the other two start their fall back only for the black haired girl to get wounded severely. That was the tipping point of the exchange the Horde having gotten what they wanted started to move back but still lingered to make sure she was dead. The girl with a massive amount of will power screamed for the boy just to go and the boy cursing how stubborn she could be did as she wished. It was then that she was Struck by lightning and turned into a tree. Thus creating a massive tragedy in amidst what could have been a happy event. No chiron was not looking forward to explaining this to the children. No he was not.

Zeus was pissed beyond all rights he had been found out as having another affair with his ever loyal wife which meant that he was expecting either a punishment for him to be handed down or as per tradition the option to pass it on to the offending child.

"Zeus you made a oath to me which you have broken!" proclaimed Styx the goddess of oaths "you know what happens when this occurs now make your choice!"

At this Zeus only nodded knowing that she knew what his choice was and that the fates were watching and would enact it if he did not.

"very well I hope you are more heh honourable about your oaths in future!" she said before disappearing from the council causing them to breath easier. There where few entities in the world that could make the Olympians shudder with fear but Styx was one of them as she ALWAYS got her dues.

"well with that piece of nasty business out of the way" said Zeus

"nasty for you brother" said poseidon earning him a glare from the god of the sky but before anything could erupt between them there was another flash drew every ones attention to the centre of the room.

"hey me familia!" proclaimed Hermes only to get a glare from Zeus

"do you mind explaining why Your late?"

"well I got a summoning for a express delivery to the Olympian council...from Sumatra" said the god nervously

"WHATT!" screamed most of the room

"chill people"said Apollo "I am sure she is just letting us know what has been happening ...there it was in some turmoil recently." this reasoning got some nods from the various gods

"very well since we are here what does it say?"

with that Hermes snapped his fingures and a box appeared with a letter on top. Taking the letter and opening it Hermes began reading.

Hello Olympus/

as usual I give you my greetings from takamagahara I would like to say that the elemental nations are now in a state of peace and the proficy has been fulfilled they even have a new sage and a new sage of six paths! So yeah peaceful. Ohh there are reports trailered to each of your domains in the box just close and open and your file will appear. Lastly one of the 12 of you should know that your child is already in your realm and probably making his way to camp.

This letter is going to ignite ….now!

And with that the letter promptly burst into black flames leaving the entire council in shock ….not at a certain gods eccentricities no they were used to that but what the letter contained. One of them had a child from outside the realm?

Unfortunately for the gods (or fortunately depending who it is) they didn't have much time to think about it as hephaestus got a call on one of his machines

"Father there is a horde chasing a group of demi-gods near the camp" said the machine god

"very well can you bring it up?"replied Zeus knowing full well who it was going to show

As the screen formed in front of the council all Zeus saw was thalia get impaled by a claw yards from safety. Then without thinking what he was doing he was just wanting to save her. Zeus used her essence to build a barrier so that this kind of event will never happen again!

It was at this point that apollos eyes glowed with a golden hew which signify a change to a proficy

"The grand proficy has been delayed but only slightly though ther is also a disturbing presence." said apollo

"what do you mean"demanded Zeus

"Well its like instead of there being 'a' future the path is a haze with it covering several paths I don't know why it just ...is." said the god of proficy rather confused

Naruto was standing observing the horde with his sharingan active had arrived just as thalia a girl he considered family was stabbed only to be hit by lightening by her own father so to say he was not happy was an understatment.

What only made him more angry was he saw the supposed 'trainer of heroes' just standing around while the kids where struggling their way towards the barrier. Knowing he was in no state to go anywhere near the camp in the emotional state he was in naruto decided he would return later and just send the kids later for now.

But as of now he had some monsters to deal with. With that naruto couldn't help but chuckle at the irony of what he was planning to do!

Zeus was still sulking he had just condemned his daughter to chaos knows what hell for however long and while he knew he deserved it as his punishment from the styx, she didn't he was a coward and he knew it.

"erm dad are you doing anything with the lightning right now?" asked apollo

"no, why?" "because there is a thunder storm forming above that horde and it doesn't look too friendly" was apollos reply at this the gods all focused on the screen again

"well this looks interesting" mumbled Ares who had been bored and practically asleep the whole council.

"how so?" asked Poseidon "well if it is not father doing that who is?" Ares asked causing the whole council to look at the lightning that was now forming a shape in a new light

Naruto was rather amused at the moment the technique he was using had cost barley a tenth of the chakra it should have due to the thunder storm that was passing over. The technique itself was rather impressive as well as devistating if used right.

"Okay enough showing off I definetly have their attention now for the finale! Kirin!" Said Naruto slowly lowering his hands towards the target and in time with the motion a large eastern style Dragon made of lightening decended from the heavens and crashed into the horde completely disintegrating them where they stood.

Looking at his handy work Naruto gave a satisfied nod before using the Shunshin he had a few places to go before he went home to train but one thing was for sure he would be back especially after that showing.

"well some one knows how to clear out the pests!" said Hephaestus only to get glared at by Zeus

"WHO THE FUCK USED MY LIGHTNING!" bellowed Zeus

"Calm down brother I am sure it is just that 'elemental nations' kid in which case its not 'your lightning' but his own life force they are using. Come on brother you should know this as it is required knowledge for you since you need to meet the Shinto there!" said Poseidon. This only caused Zeus to grumble.

"This only begs the question whos child is it" asked Demeter This caused every one to look about in wonder although some just looked pointedly between Zeus, Poseidon, apollo and Aphrodite.

"Well If you Must know he is mine." said Hera before standing up and walking from the room leaving the council in a state of shock.
