Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Percy Jackson and the Olympians

A figure was walking along the shoreline of Greenwich Bay, Rhode Island. Said person had a mop of golden blonde hair and was tall for his age. His hair was long enough that it framed both sides of his face where his side burns should be. Behind his bangs were two bright blue colored eyes that displayed boredom. His face could be described as being feminine. He was dressed in a dark green long-sleeved shirt with black pants. He was also wearing black and white converse that seemed to be worn out from use.

He had stayed at Chepiwanoxet Island, Rhode Island, where there was nothing of interest besides the Clouds Hill Victorian Museum, and even that wasn't much too exciting seeing, unless you were an avid lover of this country's history. Then that was a place to visit if you ever found yourself in Rhode Island.

Another good thing about this place was its large number of bays. There were many adults and teens that went out sailing. I guess around here that was a hobby.

Naruto had spent about a week here resting and learning about his powers. He had met a few kids his age and had even played with them, but did not get too close to them knowing that he would have to move on. They at least made him feel like a normal person for a short time. He had missed the feeling of not having to worry about anything.

Naruto was heading south; finally haven decided that it was time to go. As you could have probably guessed, he was entering a forest, his much preferred area to travel through. There were plenty of them in this state, although not very big and were separated by small cities and towns.

Another reason to leave was its humid weather and it was always misty by these areas. Add in the rain and cold and you had a very unappealing climate.

His eyes were looking everywhere, as if expecting to be attacked. He has been like this since that night a week ago when he was attacked by what he now knew was a Cyclops. That was the first time he had been attacked by a monster, so it was understandable that he was now extra careful with his surroundings.

That night in Nashua wasn't all bad though. He had made an important discovery that has kept his time occupied. He had discovered that controlling his godly energy like chakra with hand signs was very much possible. He had an affinity towards earth, which was not surprising since his mother could in some ways be considered mother earth; but that was not all he had discovered.

You see, while working on replicating those earth spikes, Naruto came across a problem. When he tried the hand signs again and called forth his energy, not only earth spikes started to appear but the puddles on the ground started lurching forward, replicating smaller version of waves. Shock adorned his face at that moment before a large grin grew on his face. This was incredible he thought. Not only earth, but water as well. The only explanation for this Naruto could think of is that to grow plants, earth and water was necessary. Water hadn't even crossed his mind as there was no reference saying that Demeter had any ties to water when I researched her.

The problem that having two elements created is that he couldn't control which element appears. He could be trying to work with earth and water will appear and vice versa. It was incredibly frustrating. It would take a while to be able to gain control over them, but the results will be amazing. He would become as powerful as the heroes of old. His name will go in the history books, giving Naruto a form of immortality. Kids all over the world in the future will read his adventures in their history books and will wish to be like him.

His thinking was interrupted when he found what he was looking for.

It was a big clearing with a huge lake in the middle of it. Naruto was looking for a place away from prying eyes where he could train in peace. He found it near Bleachery Pond, a large lake in the middle of the forest. He knew that he need to start working on his elemental problem soon or else he would be at the mercy of a monster again.

He had thought about ways to solve his problem. Using different hand signs to control both elements. The Shinobi from those stories my father told me had to have figured out a way if they could do all those things with the elements.

His other plan is to try meditating and trying to differentiate the two different energies and try to get a feel for them to make it easier two choose one when using them.

Naruto sat by the water and closed his eyes while getting in the universal meditating position. A few minutes later, his eyes opened with a look of annoyance in them. This will be harder than it sounds he thought.

Two weeks are what it took for Naruto to finally make some progress. Meditating was harder than he thought, but he eventually got the hang of it, after all it wouldn't take long if you can basically spend a whole day just trying to meditate. That's 24 hours at your disposal if you are like Naruto who has all day to himself. Not one to waste time, he had begun to look for the two sources of energy. At first, he could only sense his godly energy, since it was overpowering his other ones. In order to find those, Naruto had to look deeper within

The first energy source he found was an energy that felt rougher and more solid than any other one available that felt like you could grab it with your hands, no doubt what he felt was his earth affinity.

Now, water felt differently. The energy was smoother and felt cool, like if would flow around your hand in you tried to grab it, unlike earth.

It still took some time to find the necessary control to be able to separate the energies, but knowing what they felt like help. It was like trying to differentiate between a rock and a feather with your eyes closed, the difference was clear.

The next experiment proved to be helpful in his control training; the one about using different hand signs for each one helped speed up the process.

Calling his water energy forth, he flipped though the hand signs slowly, analyzing which one got a reaction out of it. He had almost gone through all of them until he stopped on the bird hand sign. The water by the river he had camped by had begun to churn, making small waves. It was a major discovery because now he knew which hand sign was associated with his water affinity. Add that to his knowledge on the different feel on both element energies and being able to keep them apart and he was ready to start working on his separate powers.

Earth wasn't as hard to figure out considering that he been using the hand sign that he had used to make those spikes. It was the snake sign. How appropriate.

Naruto since then had experimented on combining hand signs instead of just using the same ones. It works, as long as you ended the sequence with the sign for the element you were using. An example would be if you were trying to combine signs to create a water attack. You would have to end the sequence with the bird sign.

You might be wondering why the other hand signs were necessary if you only need one hand sign for an element which would make sense for there to only be one hand sign for each element.

My theory was that the other 8 hand signs weren't exactly for the elements. If it was true that they could make fireballs and tornadoes, then a simple hand sign was not enough. Maybe a hand sign was for shaping your energy in the correct way to make that fire into a ball.

Naruto while practicing had noticed that if he added the dragon hand sign, his earth spikes would become stronger and the waves would also become bigger. It made sense, since the dragon was a symbol of power. So in actuality, the other hand signs must serve a purpose as well.

It will take years to figure it all out Naruto thought.

Two Years later

Naruto was sitting under the shade of a tree resting. In front of him was a small lake, no, more like a pond where there where several ducks and ducklings swimming peacefully. This place was beautiful and was the perfect definition of nature. He was currently in Stanford, Connecticut. More specifically, North Stanford, which was the name of the place he was currently resting on.

Currently he was waiting for something and it was heading to his location. How does he know? Well, you see, Naruto discovered that he could sense life forms around him. It wasn't anything major, just those life forms that were close by, but it was especially helpful against sneak attack.

He could sense a presence heading his way, no scratch that, two presences now and they were approaching fast. They stopped at the other end of the pond, looking for Naruto. Said person was hiding behind the tree he was leaning on, already knowing which way they were going to appear from.

This would be his first real fight with a monster, since there was no way he could consider his last encounter with one a fight. This time however he was ready. He had his powers at his disposal and that creature made the mistake of stopping next to the pond.

It's time to see how far I have come in the last two years Naruto thought.

The creature standing on the other side of the ponds was completely black with piercing red eyes looking around. It was also huge, about the size of a grizzly bear with razor-sharp teeth and sharp claws.

Taking in a breath, Naruto left the cover of the tree, immediately catching the monsters attention. He headed to the edge of the pond and took a deep breath as he went through some hand signs. Meanwhile, the monsters not one to make his prey wait, bounded towards Naruto at high-speed, the ground shaking under its weight. Once it was in front of Naruto, it opened its mouth to bite him, expecting an easy kill, but it wasn't to be.

Naruto being finished with his hand signs, waited for the monster to get closer, as he did so his cheeks bulged, as if full with something, which was not far from the truth. Noticing the monsters ready to bite him, he opened his mouth, releasing its content.

Water gushed out of his mouth like a waterfall and with the force of one too. The monster not expecting that was caught off guard and was washed away by the attack. The force of the water tore the grass out of the ground, leaving the earth scarred. The monster was thrown back, crushing against a tree, almost breaking it in the process.

Naruto was ready to attack once more but at the last-minute sensed a presence behind him. Suddenly dropping to the ground, another one of the same monster sailed above me. Naruto was mad for haven forgotten about the second presence he had felt. He could have been injured or worse, killed for his inattentiveness. This was a mistake that he could not afford to make, not if he wanted to become the strongest demigod in history.

The monster slid on the muddy ground, stabbing his claws into it to come to a halt. It turned around slowly, its eyes landing on Naruto who was already going through another set of hand signs.

Suddenly the ground started shaking, before three earth spikes broke through the earth stabbing the second monster in the gut. The monster growled in pain, clawing at the spikes before dying like the Cyclops, by bursting into golden dust.

Seeing it's partnered killed, the other monster lunged at Naruto, ready to tear him apart. Naruto just barely managed to dodge to the right, which resulted in him getting scratched in his arm. He winced in pain, biting back a yelp. He turned around to face the monster, backing up slightly. He needed time to go through hand signs, time that his opponent would not give.

Changing tactics, Naruto began to channel his godly energy to his legs, increasing their strength, but more importantly for this scenario, speed. He then began going through hand signs for another attack. An earth spike popped out of the ground before being ripped out by Naruto.

Naruto not wasting time dashed at full speed at the monster, covering the distance in record time and stabbing it in the side.

The monster roared in pain, before also dissolving into golden dust.

Naruto walked back to the tree he was previously sitting on before being attacked. I need to work on my strength he thought as he sat down slowly. It was true, the only reason he managed to pierce the monster with the spike was due to the momentum of his run.

Naruto didn't know, but at the young age of 8, he already had the mindset of a seasoned demigod. It was truly saddening that a child in the eyes of most was able to kill, even if it were monsters.

Replaying the battle in his head, he decided that it could have been better and he could have looked cooler. His powers were developing nicely, but slowly. He would have to increase his training regimen if he wanted to have a chance against the stronger monsters.

That was it, naming his attacks like in those cartoons about super heroes. He would be kind of like a super hero, but way cooler. His mind was already going through a list of name to use for his already created attacks.

Suddenly wincing in pain, Naruto looked at the arm that was injured. It was healing at a slow pace, but by tomorrow would be fine. He didn't know if it was due to his godly blood or if it was just him.

He sighs before getting back up. He began to walk always, to look for a place to spend the night.

People where crowding the street of the city; noise everywhere, people everywhere, and trash everywhere. This was by far the biggest, yet most crowded, city he had been in so far. It was like every square inch of the city was already inhabited by someone. The air was filthier than any other place he had been in, something that Naruto was not really used too.

Said person was currently walking around, looking everywhere, especially at the buildings in this place. They were gigantic, some even disappearing in the clouds. They were truly magnificent pieces of architecture, even if he wasn't into that stuff, he could not help but appreciated it.

There were so many stores and stands littering the street with eye-catching signs that almost made him go into the shops out of curiosity. Another thing he saw that seemed common here was the amount of homeless people around the city. It was truly saddening and even if he wanted to do something about it, he knew that there was nothing he could do.

Naruto kept on walking, trying not to think about any of that depressing stuff. He decided that he wanted to enjoy his time here. It was a truly lively place with many things to see. In fact, there were many performers around the city that he had managed to catch a glimpse of.

Naruto while just roaming the streets with a light smile on his face notice a candy store that looked rather mouth-watering for a kid his age. He began to move toward the store to hopefully find something good enough to buy. Entering the shop hit him with the sweet aroma of sweets and chocolate, making his stomach growl; just leaving off of fruits made the candy look more appetizing.

Finally deciding on some sweets as well as chocolate, he made his way to the register to pay for his stuff. He noticed that the woman managing the cashier was very beautiful. She wore a warm smile as she greeted the customers coming in. She has long straight brown hair with sparkly blue eyes. Noticing her name tag it read Sally Jackson.

"Hi," Naruto said. "I would like to buy these."

"No problem sweetie, that'll be $10," she said.

Handing her the exact amount, he was about to walked away when he suddenly saw a kid his age behind the register with the beautiful woman. Something about him called out to Naruto. Suddenly activating his sensory abilities, he sensed his presence and was shocked. He had the same kind of energy as him, godly energy and it was pretty strong.

He turned around to talk to the women who must have been related to him. His mother most likely. Now that he was turned around, Naruto managed to get a good look at him.

He had jet black hair and sea green eyes that reminded Naruto of the ocean. He was wearing a blue shirt with khaki short and skating shoes. Naruto decided to introduce himself because he was the first demigod besides himself that he had met so far. This was proof that there were others like him and this was an opportunity that he could not miss.

"Hi," he said again. "I'm Naruto Namikaze."

"Hey, I'm Percy Jackson," he replied. "Nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet you too"

Naruto extended his hand in a handshake gesture. He shook it, both smiling at each other.

Hey, I hope you all liked the chapter.

About the bijuu, if you guys want me to include them, i have decided that they wont' be introduced until after the Heroes of Olympus. In that story, they will be the main enemy, so it doesn't interrupt the story line.

Please review and tell me how i did.
