Chapter 2
Mission Start
AN: oh wow over a 1100 views, 60+follows and around 50-ish faves and it was only the 1st chapter and it was a very short chapter too. Sadly I only got about 10 reviews but whatever I'm just glad People actually like this story. There's a fight scene ahead but I'm not really good at that so I only wish it isn't too eye cringing. Anyway this chapter is longer than the last one if you noticed…or not…awkward…
Thanks for all your support

New York City
With Naruto
"Greenroot what can you tell me about this object" asked Naruto with no emotion while showing Larry the black cylindrical object he found in the bag.
"That's Pepper spray how could you not know what it is" answered Larry like he grew a second head. "And don't call me Greenroot, Larry's fine" Larry exclaims
But Naruto just seemed to have ignored him "And what does this pepper spray do exactly….." "Never mind I'll figure it out myself" thought Naruto
Larry shakes his head.
"Listen there's a place for People like you-" Larry tries to say
"Camp Half-Blood the training camp for Demigods" Naruto interrupts
"Uh yeah how'd you know" Larry asked surprised
"My mother…" Naruto answered "Anyway Let's get moving How far is it to this Camp"
"It's a bit of a walk from here… unless you have let's say… other means of transportation like say… a Car... maybe..." Larry asks hopefully
But Naruto just stared at him for a few seconds and said "….What's a Car?"
Larry just stared at him like he was some sort of new creature that was just recently discovered "Uhhh… never mind you know I reaaaally need to know what exactly you don't know… you know"
Naruto just stared at him like he was stupid.
Larry didn't know if he should feel insulted or not.

After a few hours of walking
"…and that's what a gun does" Larry explains "Oh look we're almost there see that sign over there that's what most use as a landmark to tell if you're close to the camp or not"
Naruto was still thinking about the practical uses of a gun but he felt like they would be too loud for his line of work
"If only there was a way to make guns more silent…. I'm going to have to look into that" Thought Naruto
And they did see a sign that said Delphi Strawberry Fields, No Trespassing
"No Trespassing it's not like anyone ever listens to warnings… Humans are a curious species after all." Naruto thought
"Interesting now onto more important matters tell me all about the threats of all Demigods. Stats, abilities, weaknesses, strengths I need details" asked Naruto in deadpan
Larry just blinked and said "WHAT ARE YOU A SON OF ATHENA OR SOMETHING!?" completely flabbergasted
"No need to shout…. And no lady Athena is not my mother" Naruto answered calmly"And what does asking questions have to do with me being a child of Lady Athena… just how is my mother viewed as in this dimension"
They passed through the forest and then Naruto suddenly stopped and Larry asked what was wrong but Naruto told him to be quiet then Naruto kneeled down and touched the ground with his finger Larry felt a tingle pass over him.
"W-What was that" Naruto turned to Billy completely serious well more serious than before "Greenroot how far away is Camp?"
"It's just a kilometer away… why? And Zeus' armpits stop calling me Greenroot!" exclaims Larry
"Damn that means that I might endanger them by leading it there…. And Greenroot doesn't look like much of a fighter… and what about Zeus' armpits" thought Naruto,
then Naruto turns to Larry and says to him
"Greenroot don't panic but when I touched the ground I was able to effectively determine if we were being followed and how many there are. It's kind of like a sonar, that technique hasn't been perfected yet though."
That's the longest Larry had ever heard him talk sure it sounded like he had no emotion but he's taking what he can get
"W-W-WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!? AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN SONAR?! Asked the Panicking Larry
"I'll explain later! Basically I know where they are and they know that I know where they are" snaps Naruto rather harshly "and for crying out loud stop shouting you're going to give away our position"
"Tsk… This satyr is really annoying" Naruto added as an afterthought
Then Naruto takes a deep breath and instructs Larry to go back to Camp without him.
"I can't do that, I mean I'm supposed to be the one protecting you not the other way around!"
Naruto just glares at him wishing for him to burn. Larry shuddered a little but stood firm then Naruto sardonically smirks and says "you're a pretty brave satyr Greenroot as well as idiotic."
"W-Wait how did you-"Larry ignored the insult and tried to say something but he was rudely interrupted " I'm not stupid Greenroot now you can either stay here and don't move from that spot or… you can march back into camp and wait for me by the entrance, take your pick." Naruto orders with a glare
Larry squeaks and thinks "Poseidon's beard! if looks could kill I'd be dead 6 times over"
"But wait you don't even have a weapon and-" Larry warns
but Naruto cuts him off before he could finish "Don't underestimate me Greenroot I don't need a weapon to take down 5 large dogs"
Instead of getting reassured Larry seemed even more panicked than before if that was even possible.
"Wait! Did you just say dogs… Di Immortalles! dogs why dogs! Oh man we're going to die, we're going to d-" Larry then starts hyperventilating.
It seemed Naruto got annoyed since he slapped Larry's face and gave him a very nasty glare that basically screamed Calm down.
It seemed to have worked too well since Larry seemed to have reverted to a calmer state and not his frenzied-I'm-about-to-pass-out-soon-if-I-don't-calm-down state. "Is he bipolar?" Naruto thought
"Sorry…" Larry apologizes after a few seconds
Larry began to speak again "Okay now seems to be a good time to explain one of the threats you were asking about earlier…"
Naruto was now paying attention to Larry at this point "… So those black dogs you saw probably wasn't dogs well… Not regular dogs anyway. I think it's safe to say those things were Hellhounds."
Naruto was almost unnerved by Larry at this point since he was being serious and he was no longer fidgeting.
"So listen up because I'm only going to say this once. Hellhounds are Massive dog-like creatures from the underworld and they have this ability to move at high speed that makes them look like clouds as you say you saw… we're gonna have to talk about that later by the way"
Naruto just nodded at this.
Larry continued "It's called Shadow travel. You need to watch out for a few things. Mainly their sharp teeth and claws and they're pretty big, the average size of a Hellhound are about the size of a Rhino but there are some to be as big as a Garbage truck… Remember this we talked about this a while ago when we were walking."
Naruto just nodded and gave him a signal to continue.
"Also as I tried to tell you before I was rudely interrupted you need a weapon to kill monsters but not just any weapon you need something made out of celestial bronze, now unless you have something like that you won't be able to effectively kill those Hellhounds" Larry finished
"I don't know about celestial bronze but I do have weapons" Naruto showed Larry his kunais and shurikens that he unsealed from his body.
"And other things." Naruto thought referring to his Jutsus
The weapons suddenly appearing out of nowhere took Larry completely by surprise and seemed to have reverted back to his panicky- less impressive self. Naruto just sighed inwardly "It was nice while it lasted"
"W-W-W-WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT! H-H-HOW DID YOU DO THAT!" Larry cried out in shock. Naruto ignored his outburst
Naruto just stood up and went to the direction where he sensed the Hellhounds "Thanks Larry" he mumbled
"Wait Naruto… Why are you even carrying things like that… J-Just what the heck were you doing before well… all this" Larry asked a bit unsurely
Naruto suddenly stops for a few seconds and turns his head to Larry's direction and Larry knew something changed about Naruto.
His aura suddenly turned dark and when Larry's eyes met Naruto's he shivered like he was staring at a very dangerous person.
Larry immediately felt sorry for whoever pissed off Naruto
Naruto then smirks sinisterly and said "I was… No… I am an Assassin" and he just vanished.
Larry was a bit pale and his eyes were wide open and he was shaking "W-w-w-what w-w-was t-that it was like I was about to die a-a-and w-w-w-was that….. his bloodlust"
Larry took a very deep breath and tried to calm himself down and was in deep thought "Naruto… he's no ordinary Demigod and he said he was a-a-an A-Assassin but he seemed like a pretty neat guy sure he was a bit too serious but still… never pegged him to be an assassin type"
Larry just shook his head and he realized something "Wait did he just call me… Larry"
Larry stood still for a seconds then a smile began to appear out of his face and began his walk back to camp.

With Naruto (AN: I'm horrible with fight scenes but I'll try my best)
Naruto reappears on top of a branch and touched the bark of the tree and sent out a pulse of chakra to determine where the Hellhounds were.
"Ninja Art: Sonar Pulse" Naruto whispers he waited for a few seconds and turned his head to where he sensed the Hellhounds.
"There!" Naruto stated, then he smirks and jumps to the next tree branch and waited for a few seconds.
Sweetie, use the pepper spray just press the button on top. It's a gift… I had Hephaestus make it for you, stay safe I love you.
Naruto heard a voice speak he was inwardly surprised "Mother" Naruto concluded. "Roger that, Commencing Operation"
He searched his pockets for the pepper spray and pushed the button and the can transformed into a scythe with a pointy tip at the end so it could also double as a spear.
Naruto smirked and he saw the Hellhounds approaching he pulled up his hood and waited until the Hellhounds were directly below the branch and he jumped while he was falling he swung his scythe and cleaved an unsuspecting Hellhound in half.
As Naruto landed the Hellhounds started growling they were pretty mad that he managed to get the drop on them, literally
"Hmm… only 4 enemies remaining, 2 of them right in front me and the other 2… missing. I wonder do my jutsu work on these monsters"
"Mission Start"
Naruto stabbed his scythe into the ground and quickly weaved some hand seals and took a deep breath Fire Style: Great Fire Ball jutsu
And let loose a giant ball of fire on the 2 Hellhounds in sight as the huge flaming ball hit them it exploded and all that was left was some weird dust floating around as well as some of the trees burning, panicking he used a quick water jutsu to douse the flames.
He sighed in relief quickly telling himself not to use the fire element while he was in a forest
"Phew, that was close I almost started a forest fire but… it worked oh this is going to be too easy" Naruto thought with glee
He grabbed the handle of his scythe and was about to pull it out when he was taken by surprise by a Hellhound appearing from his left and was about to take a chunk off of his face when something strange happened instead of ripping off a part of Naruto's face the Hellhound just seemed to phase through Naruto.
The Hellhound didn't get a chance to wonder about that as it was quickly cut in half when it completely phased through.
Naruto was panting and clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Damn I got careless… I was even forced to resort to using that technique. I can't keep using it since it takes a lot out of me… now where is it hiding" thought Naruto
After a few tense seconds Naruto spotted a shadow forming right next to his feet and he jumped back a few feet just as a Hellhound burst up out of the shadow.
Naruto coated his scythe's blade with wind and swung diagonally while he thought Wind Style: Vacuum wave then a blade of wind was expelled from the scythe and was heading straight for the Hellhound and was cut diagonally and exploded into dust.
All that was left were fangs most probably coming from the beast that was just destroyed.
Naruto looked around and saw another fang from the beast he was forced to phase through he collected both fangs and looked for the other 2 seeing nothing he deduced it must have turned into ashes due to the fire jutsu.
Naruto looked at his scythe and was starting to wonder how he was going to change it back when it suddenly shifted back into its pepper spray form.
"Well that was convenient… Now if I remember correctly camp was in that direction" thought Naruto
With that Naruto started tree hopping to the direction of the camp.

Meanwhile
Olympus
"Where have you been Aphrodite" Zeus boomed he seems to be in a bit of a mood. The other Olympians just seemed to have ignored him and Hestia was sitting next to the hearth.
"I had to do something important, Lord Zeus" Aphrodite replied completely calm, which confused the other Olympians since usually Aphrodite would be whiny and a tad bit annoying.
"And what pray tell could be so important that you had to deliberately disobey my orders. I specifically ordered that no one may leave Olympus!" Zeus shouted out a little too dramatically
Aphrodite was quiet for a bit but spoke up completely calm towards Zeus' rising anger much to his frustration.
"I just went to the shadow dimension." Aphrodite said like she did nothing wrong.
Every Olympian's Heads turned to Aphrodite completely bug eyed
"YOU WHAT!" Zeus stood up nostrils flaring and his boomstick- err… Master bolt crackling with electricity "WHY WOULD YOU GO THERE, WHAT BUSSINESS DID YOU HAVE TO GO TO A DIMENSION I SPECIFICALLY ORDERED NOT TO GO TO. WHO GAVE YOU THE AUTHORITY TO DISOBEY MY LAWS! TELL ME APHRODITE OR I SHALL BLAST YOU WHERE YOU STAND!"
if you thought Zeus was pissed before, now would be considered a meltdown of epic proportions.
The reason why Zeus is so ticked off is because the shadow dimension is a dimension where its people had the ability to bend the elements to their will utilizing a special energy inside their body and was in constant war.
Zeus was wary of this dimension since he could clearly see some of these humans with these strange abilities had the potential to be as strong as a God or surpass them, so Zeus in his seemingly infinite wisdom made a law that forbids any God to go in that dimension.
He fears the power of a Demigod if a God or Goddess were to procreate there much to Ares' disappointment.
"Relax Lord Zeus I don't have anything to hide and to answer your questions. I went to the shadow dimension to bring my son here before you blow a gasket I was asked by the fates to bring my son here and I had no problems with it and I technically didn't break any laws since I didn't go there personally… (which confused the Olympians) I created a mortal aspect in my place originally for the sake of spreading love in that horrible place… don't you just love loopholes." Aphrodite answered with glee unfazed by Zeus' anger which annoyed him to no end.
Zeus' face changed from anger, shock and bitter acceptance if the fates really did will it then there really was nothing he could do.
The others were shocked by this revelation and some were a bit ashamed that they didn't think of splitting themselves, mainly Athena
"Aside from that interesting piece of information… What makes the boy so special to have the fates themselves bring him here" asked the Goddess of wisdom Athena
"Great… A boy that would no doubt misuse his power for his own selfish reasons" muttered Artemis
"Cool! Aph has a kid from the shadow dimension hey Aph what does he look like?" The god of the sun Apollo asked
"Hmph Dite's brat is from the shadow dimension huh… I want to fight him" said Ares the God of war himself
The rest were silent… Well Dionysus just didn't care
"Well Athena to answer your question the reason the fates are so interested in my darling little boy is because they said he is the only Demigod not bound by fate" Aphrodite answered
The Olympians were shocked by this revelation. Murmurs were started inside the chamber.
"SILENCE!" yelled Zeus "Continue Aphrodite."
Aphrodite just nodded "After I regained Kushina Uzumaki's memories that's the name of my mortal aspect by the way. I was happy to know of his existence but when the fates told me of his… circumstances I was horrified for what they did to him. What they tried to do I wanted nothing more than to erase their existence but there was nothing I could do so I took the chance to bring my darling little boy here where he can have a happier life."
"Are you sure that was wise Aphrodite, Demigod life here is dangerous as well." Warned Athena
"You'd be taking that back if you knew what those mortal bastards did to my son" snapped Aphrodite
"And what exactly did they do to your son." Hera finally spoke
Aphrodite just transmitted to them her memories of what the fates showed her.
The Olympians and Hestia saw the conditioning ROOT put the boy through.
The mind conditioning, torture resistance and the experiments they did to the boy's body.
The Gods and Goddesses had mixed reactions. Some were horrified and/or appalled (Hestia, Demeter, Hera), outraged (Hermes, Apollo, Poseidon, Hephaestus), impressed (Ares), Disturbed (Artemis, Hades), blank faced (Zeus) and Dionysus just didn't care.
"How do we know this isn't some sort of trick Aphrodite that boy couldn't have possibly survived that… not without any lasting damages at least" Zeus said
"I swear on Styx herself that all that I have said and showed you is true… There were some lasting damages as you put it…" Aphrodite sadly said
Thunder boomed and Zeus seemed satisfied for the moment and said "How do we know we can trust the boy he's been trained as an assassin I fear for us if he decides to attack us because of all the emotional and physical trauma he was put through"
"As long as he considers you family he will never attack, he considers protecting his family his most important mission and judging from his mission records the fates were kind enough to show me he has never failed a mission." Aphrodite helpfully supplied
Zeus just grunts and clears his throat
"Hephaestus use your TV to search for the boy we shall observe him until he gets into camp" ordered Zeus
The Gods and Goddesses saw Naruto and how he met the satyr Larry Greenroot and the amusing conversation when Larry was trying to explain to him everything that was needed to know.
They heard when Naruto was asking the satyr for information about the threats and the satyr's amusing reaction by shouting out if he was a child of Athena. Athena had a calculating glint in her eyes but Aphrodite just snorts and muttered
"…She wishes…"
More importantly they saw how he fights and they were impressed at the same time concerned (although they all have different reasons for being concerned) when they saw how well he hides his bloodlust.
Ares was starting to get interested.
The elder Gods and Goddesses shuddered when they saw his scythe reminding them of their father Kronos.
Hephaestus and Hestia was impressed with how big his fireball was and was amused when he panicked for a brief second when he saw some of the trees on fire from his attack.
Poseidon was intrigued from his usage of water while Zeus begrudgingly acknowledged his proficiency with wind attacks.
They were all shocked however when they saw the Hellhound pass through him.
"Sweet! Now I really want to fight him" Ares exclaims but Aphrodite just gave Ares a very frightening glare and Ares gulps and kept silent
"Aphrodite! What was that?" bellowed Zeus
"That technique reminds me of the move of that masked man when he and Minato fought. I don't know if there's anything else to that move but that masked man can ghost through attacks but at the same time can't attack while he's well… ghosting ooohh and also the masked man could also teleport or something and… that's all I know" Aphrodite supplied
Zeus grunted then nodded
"Who is Minato?" Hera spoke up once again
Aphrodite just smiled warmly and said "Minato was my or at least my mortal aspect Kushina Uzumaki's husband." Ares just scowled fiercely, Hephaestus didn't even care.
Hera's eyes widened but the others didn't notice. The Gods and Goddesses nodded at the interesting piece of information
Hera hid a small smile.

With Naruto
Naruto arrived at the entrance of Camp Half-Blood and spotted Larry
"Greenroot I see you waited for me" Naruto said with a smirk
Larry was crying on the inside since Naruto called him by his family name again then Larry lets out a sigh and smiled at Naruto
"You ready to go inside"
Naruto still smirking
"Definitely"
As they got closer to camp Larry noticed that the smirk on Naruto's face slowly shifted to a thin line and his expressions were completely blank much to Larry's concern
"I wonder will they… like me… a monster like me… will they even accept me… hmph… no matter as long as they are safe I will not care… protecting them is my mission."

AN: Ninja Art: Sonar Pulse is a made up jutsu if it wasn't already obvious but it is based on what Minato did in Kakashi's gaiden episode
If it feels rushed to you I'm sorry. I'm still trying to get the hang of this writing business it harder than it looks he he he
I hope the fight scene wasn't to eye cringing also in the next few chapters pr even this chappie you might notice my writing style change…or not… that's because I'm going to try something that will hopefully improve my skills as a writer
If it fails I'll go back to my old one.
Oh and can anyone guess what technique Naruto used to phase through the Hellhound I think it was pretty obvious
Larry has a very strange side of him he becomes braver and heck of a lot calmer whenever his head is hit. So basically a bipolar satyr with issues XD
Oh and I really don't have a very specific update schedule so it might be slow or fast it depends well I've wasted enough of your time see you guys whenever.
