I am back. Now for those who dissed the first chapter of both versions of Sound of Shaking and Reading: Sound of Shaking yes it is a mimicry of the Prince of Olympus, but my style clearly changes course from what he had wrote which can clearly be seen. Glad to have cleared that up, enjoy. Now once again I have used a small amount from the original Prince of Olympus to fill in the blanks, but other then that it is all original.
Now on a side note, for those asking for a harem or for things to be given to Naruto my answer is FUCKING NO. I am tired of people asking me to have THIS and THAT done to my stories when it wouldn't make any sense. Like seriously someone asked me to give Naruto the Tenseigan and had me pairing Naruto with practically half the camp and all the female goddesses. Ok first off the power of the Gura-Gura no Mi from the One Piece world is already overpowered as hell as it is and Naruto can make this power stronger by enhancing it with his Chakra, and second the amount of girls that he would have been paired with would force me to focus more on romance rather then the plot of the story as it should be. This is not a romance by far, and besides that I suck a creating romance and have to look to other stories for it. If anything this is a adventure-sci fi story with aspects of romance mixed in, so once again no harem. Two women sharing him is plenty of love as it should be.
With that out of the way enjoy the chapter.
After a long pondering and questioning if bringing a son of the Big Three from another dimension to their own was a safe idea, it was decided that for the sake of their sanity it was. Zeus looked around the throne room and spoke deeply, "Alright, now that we have settled the dispute about whether to bring the son of Poseidon to our dimension it is now official that we will need someone to go and bring him here to us. However that is where the next problem lies." Zeus said before he looked to his kelp headed brother."
"Poseidon cleared his throat, "Ah yes. Well it seems that when my mortal form had died there was a slight problem." he stated.
"Oh and what would that be?" Hades muttered.
"Well apparently when I sealed the Nine Tails inside the boy and my mortal form perished I was sent back here, of course I obviously was, I was of course saddened by the death of my wife Kushina, but what I hadn't expected was to be lied to by the old man who held the title of Kage before me. I can't say why or how come he lied to me, but knowing him there was a reason for him to do it. I wasn't thinking clearly and when I went back to get him I was told he was dead. In my grief I swore to the Styx that I would never return which I haven't. Now that I find out he is alive I wish the man who my son has become." he stated.
"Wow, that was dumb of you." Athena muttered.
Poseidon didn't even retort to that comment and instead only sighed, "Yeah, I know that now." quietly.
Zeus cleared his throat, "With that now cleared up I will need a volunteer to go and bring the boy back here to us." Zeus explained before raising a hand to silence any chatter, "I have already decided, so do not try and interrupt me." Zeus stated."
"Zeus cleared his throat so he could speak clearly, for those with hard of hearing abilities *Cough* Ares *Cough* that way they could understand him."
"Zeus begun once again, "The ones that have been chosen to go on this quest are Artemis due to her tracking capabilities, and Athena for her wisdom and her persuasive talking." he stated.
Artemis suddenly raised her hand like a child at school, "Uh quick question father." she said gaining his attention.
"Yes what is it?" he responded.
"Well since we are going to a whole different dimension, will we be required to know the language or do they speak regular English?" she asked him.
Poseidon spoke up for his brother, "They speak one of two languages, English or Japanese. However it seems that English is the main language due to the complications that Japanese holds. Although that may be different due to the fact that it was during the Third Shinobi World War. Either way brush up on all your languages girls." he stated.
Artemis grumbled about the joy of having to brush up on her languages but in the end nodded her head, "When do we leave?" she asked.
"When you have everything prepared." Zeus responded.
Six hours later When Athena and Artemis had gathered their things they stood in front of the kings throne waiting patiently.
Ten more minutes passed before Zeus appeared before them. He brushed his hand through his hair and sighed, "Sorry for making you wait I was busy speaking with Hera on some matters." he said honestly.
"It is alright father." Artemis said with a bow.
Zeus nodded his head before he cleared his throat, "So I take it that the two of you are prepared to go on your journey yes?' he asked getting a nod from the two of them, "Alright then, let's get this over with." he muttered before he pointed his Master Bolt at them, "Safe travel's, and happy hunting to the both of you." he said to his daughter's before they flashed out of the throne room in a flash of thunder.
It was at this time Hera walked out from a corridor, "Do you think he will agree?' she asked him.
Zeus shrugged, "Depends on how the first meet and greet goes Hera." he stated.
Meanwhile-
A flash of thunder shook the area as the two Goddesses reappeared in a heavily wooded area. When they took their first breath of the new worlds air they almost gasped in shock by how clean it was, "Holy guacamole." Athena stated as she tasted the air.
Artemis arched a brow, "Is that Athena speak for Holy shit sister?" she asked with a humor filled chuckle.
Athena chuckled with a embarrassed look on her face, "Well, I don't know. I mean the second I took my first breath of air here, it was like how the world was in ancient times when there were no machines to pollute the sky. It takes me back almost." she stated honestly.
Artemis nodded in agreement at that one. The air here was so pure, and there was almost no taint to the environment showing just how well the people of this world looked after their home for well over 70,000 years. This was probably going to be her new favorite hunting ground if her father ever let her return.
Athena nudged her on the shoulder, "Come on, we need to get moving." she said which caused Artemis to nod in agreement.
Naruto put on his black attire, standing in front of the mirror with sad eyes.
A day had passed since the end of The Fourth Great Shinobi War.
Villages were finally burying their lost with grief, nearly sixty-eight thousand shinobi had been killed during the war. That meant that if another war broke out, nearly all chakra users would inevitably die.
Some Naruto knew while other's...he didn't even know their name before their corpse was brought back to their villages.
Everyone was there during the funerals, even Sasuke...surprisingly.
They sacrificed their life to protect him and B as well for the entire world.
Neji Hyuuga, Naruto stood behind Hinata and remained silent, he didn't know what to say or do. He just stood there with a bunch of flowers in hands, each flower was for each Shinobi of Konoha who fell down at the battlefield.
A small distance away watching, Athena had to admit that even she was impressed even when he don't personally know the other soldiers he still want to respect them by giving them a funeral like others. She knew that in the future, he would become a great leader.
The day passed way to quickly for Athena and Artemis to even recall everything that had happened.
In the Hokage office, a debate was going on. "What! YOU CAN'T DO IT -TTEBAYO!" Naruto shouted with his hand holding his head…well he would have both of his hands holding his head if he didn't have his right hand missing from his body."
"Shut up brat!" Tsunade Senju shouted as she looked at him, "Besides that, my decision is final, Kakashi will be the Sixth Hokage of the Konoha" she told the blonde.
"But why not me?" he groaned, standing next to him was Kakashi, who was giving Naruto his trademark eyes smile, trying to calm the hero of the Shinobi war down with both hands in front of him "I thought after the war…" he started where Tsunade finished for him with a nod.
"Yes, you're more suitable to become a Hokage than anyone in this village at the moment Naruto." Tsunade stood up and walked to him "However, you're still way too young to handle the job and the responsibilities that come behind it. However you can try to become the next Hokage later since currently the village need's someone with more experience like Kakashi as a leader, so it is through this that I decided to make him my next successor rather then you." Tsunade said as she then pulled out a bottle of sake from out of nowhere, shocking Shizune who had made sure to throw all of them away "Now, let's just go to have a drink to celebrate the day I finally escape from this damned job." she said as she wrapped her arms around Naruto's neck and pulled him out of the room.
"Wait Baa-chan! Wait!" Naruto cried out when he was being pulled by the fifty year old woman who had an unimaginable amount of strength, trying to shrug out of her grip would be a total waste of time. He gave up and let the Hokage pulled him out to the street.
As soon as the village saw their hero, the entire street cheered out loudly and clapped their hands rapidly for Naruto. Naruto was stunned by the sudden action of the villagers. "Wh-what is all this?" he asked as he looked to Tsunade.
"Well, while you won't be the Hokage this time Naruto" Tsunade smiled before she released him from her grip "the future is always there to make sure that reality doesn't change. So what do you think?" she asked the blonde.
Looking around, Naruto found the same feeling he had after Kakashi brought him back to the village after defeating Pain and confronting Nagato. They called him their hero, thanking him for his service during the war and for saving the world… A large grin spread out on Naruto's face while he walked between the people of Konoha, maybe he shouldn't move with ninja speed any longer on the roofs to get to the Hokage office anymore and start to take a walk among these people.
Because they finally acknowledged him at their hero.
They weren't the only one in the restaurant because the rest of the rookie nine were here as well as Team Gai and their sensei, even Sasuke was present and sat alone at the last table at the corner of the place. It was like a whole celebration party, Choji was screaming to Lee about eating his last piece of barbeque, but instantly lightened up when Ino brought a brand new dish of barbeque for him.
Sakura was chatting with her mother and a few other friends while she kept on glancing at Sasuke, wondering if she should try and keep him company.
Of course what none of them knew was that they were being watched the entire time by the two goddesses. Artemis grumbled about Sakura being in love with a boy that reminded them of their Uncle Hades. Like seriously, the boy almost looked like a miniature Hades if they looked close enough.
Naruto, after drinking the bottle Tsunade had gave him stood up from his seat and walked over to Sasuke, Kurama would keep his body sober so he don't have worry about alcohol. "Hey Sasuke, can I sit here?" he asked, sitting down the seat opposite of the former missing nin, "How's your arm doing?" he asked after having a nod of approval from black haired Uchiha.
"The same as yours is, why?" Sasuke replied shortly."
"Well, Baa-chan said she is making prosthetic hands for us." Naruto said, "I believe they are from the First Hokage's cells or something like that, so you don't have to worry about not being able to make hand-seals anymore." Naruto told him.
"I don't think I'm going to stay in the village for much longer Naruto." Sasuke said, surprising the blonde greatly.
"Hey, don't tell me you're thinking about becoming a missing nin again?" he said as he turned his head to Sakura and said with a small smile, "there are people who would be hurt if you left again you know."
Sasuke shook his head, "Not like that Naruto. So what about you Naruto? What are you going to do now? I heard that the council rejected you becoming the next Hokage and instated Kakashi, what are you going to do about that?" he asked as the both of them turned their head to the Hokage Monument, where a face was being craved onto it next to Tsunade's by a lot of workers.
Naruto smirked "I think I'm going to train harder, as well as work harder to become the next Hokage. I mean since I helped save the world and all it wouldn't be that hard a guess as to know who the next best candidate for the hat is." Naruto said with a determined expression on his face.
"No argument there. Good luck with that I suppose." Sasuke picked up a cup of sake and held it high "So the great hero for the next Hokage eh."
"For the Seventh Hokage." Naruto said also poured his cup full and then touched it with Sasuke's.
Artemis nudged Athena before the two of them left out of the bar. Artemis turned to Athena, "Ok so now what? While they're getting drunk off their minds we are supposed to bring a Demigod that has the ability to create massive, and did I also mention extremely destructive, earthquakes back to our home. And did it have to be a boy?" Artemis grumbled.
Athena grasped her sister by the shoulder, "Artemis, Poseidon hasn't sired a female Demigod. Those that he does end up dying within the first eight or so years of life." she remined the-wait a second, "A-Are you drunk?" she questioned the goddess as she looked at her closer. Flushed cheeks. Dizzy look in the eye, swaying motion on feet, "My god, your hammered." she said in shock.
"What, it was good wine." she said. It honestly was. Never before had she tasted so amazing in her life.
Athena sighed as she rubbed the bridge of her nose, "Alright come on, we haven't got all day. Father wants us to return with the son of Uncle Poseidon and now I have to drag you around." she said in a annoyed tone.
"You know what, I'll handle the son of Poseidon. You are going to a hotel to sleep off the effects of the alcohol in your system." she said as she looked around.
"But I don't wanna go to bed, I wanna have some more Sake." the goddess whined.
With that Athena asked around where she eventually found someone who told her directions to the Golden Leaf Hotel where Athena booked a room, by hypnotizing the manager, and managed to get her sister in bed. Once she managed that she gave a huff of relief, "Finally." she had gasped out wen the Goddess of the Hunt had passed out. Walking out the room she split her consciousness allowing part of her spirit to go out and keep a eye on the son of Poseidon. Concentrating on the teen's aura from what she had felt earlier she vanished leaving her other self to fend for her sister, not that anybody would try to hurt her in her drunken state.
She reappeared several feet away from a cliff edge where she saw him sitting down looking out over the village below. Hearing him sigh she felt her brow quirk when he spoke, "I figured you would eventually show yourself. I assume that your friend got a bit carried away when you were both at the bar." he said calmly, obviously not worried about the Goddess standing behind him.
"In a manner of speaking." she said to the blonde who had yet to turn around.
"Reminds me of Baa-chan." she heard him mutter and couldn't suppress the small smile on her lips. She then saw the blonde stand up and turn to face her, "Well, if you're here for me then I suppose we should move this out of the village." he told the goddess. Even with one hand he could hold a fight better then most. Sasuke was the only one who could truly match him blow for blow. Go figure as a reincarnation of the son's of the Sage of the Six Paths there could only be one rival for him.
Athena put her hands up in a calming manner, "Whoa. hold up wait a minute now." she told him in a shocked tone, "We aren't here to fight you." she told him.
Naruto stopped and placed his left hand on his hip, "Oh really? If you're not here to fight me then why are you here?" he asked her.
"we were sent here to take you back to your father." she told him honestly.
"Bullshit." he said almost instantly.
"No it is true you see-she went to tell him only to be interrupted, "My father has been dead for seventeen years. In fact he was revived for the Fourth Great Shinobi World War to help end it." he said with conviction.
Athena held her hand up, "At least let me explain what I meant." she pleaded gently with him.
"I am sorry, but even I wont be able to believe that my father, a man who died the night I was born I might add, is still alive and kicking when I myself saw him as a Reanimated Shinobi." Naruto said.
"Your father is an immortal." she said plainly.
Naruto blinked, then blinked again. He shook his head, "Wow, if that is what you are putting down as your trump card you must be desperate to have me do something." he stated.
Athena rolled her eyes before she brought out a knife where she suddenly cut her hand showing golden blood, "Is this proof enough for you?" she asked him.
Naruto raised a brow, "Ok I have to admit that is a neat trick, golden blood... can't say I've seen that before." he admitted honestly.
"It is called Ichor, the blood of the god's. It shows our immortality." she told the blonde.
"Ok and I am a blue blooded human." Naruto retorted.
"I can show you another ability we god's have." she said before she split her consciousness once more.
"Shadow clones made without the need for Hand-Seals." Naruto said as a puff of smoke appeared next to him into the form of a clone, "Anything else you want to try to use to persuade me?" he asked her. Obviously he didn't believe her.
"Athena was starting to lose her patience, "Fine, what will it take to persuade you to believing me tat your father is still alive?" she asked the million dollar question.
"If you truly are an immortal then you know what his domain is. I am sure that even a...Minor Goddess knows his domains." he said.
Athena narrowed her eyes, "What did you just call me?' she growled out.
Naruto looked confused, "A minor goddess. I mean why else would my father send you. he must have a higher position then if he is having you and your friend come and get me. Isn't that how it works, someone with a higher standing of power sends someone lower on the food chain to get someone they want?" he asked her.
Athena took a claiming breath. Ok so he had honestly thought his father had sent her and Artemis to fetch him. She had forgotten she was in front of a teen who answered to a higher level leadership much like the mortals of her world. She took a deep breath, "No. I am an Olympian just like your father is. We share the same level of authority as each other. However it was the King of the God's Zeus who sent us to get you so we could take you to him." she told him.
"Okay, but you never told me his domain's." Naruto said ignoring the statement about Zeus.
"He is the god of the sea. He often goes by Earthshaker, or Stormbringer as an alias." she told him.
Huh, now some things actually made sense. His high affinity for Earth and Water Style techniques certainly. That meant he got his Wind affinity from his mom then. add on the fact that he could create Earthquakes definitely made sense now with a title like Earthshaker for sure. Naruto sighed, "Alright, say I believe you then at least answer me this." he said before asking her, "Why did he never come and get me?" with a look almost similar to pleading in his eyes.
"He swore a oath that he would never return here. He had thought you died when he sealed the Nine Tails-Kurama- inside you." she told him ignoring his interruption.
Naruto felt a little down by that. The possibility that a man swore a oath that he would never return, that was a big deal. He looked at her, "Alright, but I have to ask someone to do something for me. I have to see if what you are telling me is the truth." he told her. With that he vanished in a swirl of leaves.
The next day Naruto was standing in the Hokage office with the two goddesses and Tsunade was confused by everything she had heard. Shaking her head she spoke, "I am sorry, but I don't understand what your saying." she told Athena, "And what did you say that your name was again?" she asked in a truly confused tone.
"Athena, and this is my half-sister Artemis." Athena supplied for the other goddess.
Artemis bowed her head politely, "I am pleased to meet you Tsunade Senju." she greeted to the strongest mortal woman on the planet, at least in this dimension.
Athena turned back to Tsunade and said with a calm tone, "Now as we said earlier ,before we were sent here to bring Naruto back to his our home by order of our king as well as his for his father, no matter the cost." she told Tsunade.
"Could you just stop telling lies?" Naruto asked, growling, "I saw my dad okay! He was dead, and was revived back to fight alongside with me by Edo Tensei and disappeared with a promise of telling mom everything when he was released. How can he still be alive when the Edo Tensei, a forbidden Jutsu that can revive the dead as immortal walking zombies might I remind you again, be a god?" he asked. He had gone over everything in his mind. Even Kurama had stated that Gods couldn't shed their immortal form to walk amongst mortals.
Naruto could be someone who was slow to understand things, especially when it came to complicate things but he was by no means a stupid person. He knew how Edo Tensei worked. Orochimaru had freed him from the Reaper's belly to fight, and the Old Man Sage had released his dad from the clutches of the technique to reunite with his mother.
Athena looked to Naruto, "We discussed this last night Naruto. Did you already forget our discussion?" she asked him.
"No, but when I looked back on everything I think it would be to good to be true. Yes some of your claims have merit, but still how am I supposed to believe you other then a couple of words and the color of your blood?" he asked her.
Ok those were some good points he had, but still orders were orders."
"Naruto is right about that Athena-san." she told the goddess, "Minato Namikaze was one of the most powerful people that came from this village. Born and raised here since he was somebody almost everyone knew." she told them.
But the goddess of wisdom didn't use it to attack any of them, instead she put her palm into the blade of her spear and pressed down a little, cutting herself, "You see this?" Athena asked, turning her palm down, making a golden liquid drop from the wound much to everyone shock "I told you didn't I, that this is proof that we're goddesses ourselves. This is Ichor, the blood of Gods." she told the teen again as it dropped down onto Tsunade's table much to her bewilderment.
Tsunade sighed, this was getting out of hands and she knew it. "If the two of you are done with this none-sense this meet and greet is finished. Anbu, escort them out of the village. I'm done with this game." she said having enough of it.
However before an Anbu could make a single step, Athena summoned a spear in her hand, alerting everyone in the room.
"I am Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom and Battle, so do not question my status as that of a goddess." she said. And as if to emphasize Athena's words, the sky suddenly darkened before thunder began rumbling outside, shaking the entire village.
"Artemis is Goddess of the Moon, Hunt and Maidens, one of the twelve Olympians like me." she told them as the goddess of wisdom put both of her hands on the table, her eyes shone with power "Are we clear now?" Power was radiating from the two goddesses, as their eyes glowed with the same color of their blood, they could be seen in an even more terrifying way because the sky was slowly darkening.
Tsunade didn't have any choice but to nod her head. She was in the presence of not one, but two, goddesses and she was acting like a fool.
Naruto kept his eyes on the three young women, he still couldn't accept the fact that his father was still alive and well, that these young women, were actually goddesses. Not that he had any problem with them being goddesses but after having the pleasure of fighting against one with a crazy mind and these goddesses were here, talking ridiculous things about his parent...one could say that he wasn't affected by their power show off in the slightest.
"Aright with that settled, is there some way we can prove to you that what we say is true other then show off?" Athena asked.
"Well the boy did mention that the dead could be summoned from the afterlife, maybe we can have the one who did it during the war do it again." Artemis suggested.
Naruto slapped his forehead, "Why didn't I think of that earlier?" e questioned himself.
"Well boy's are slow on the pick me up." Artemis stated.
Naruto looked at her, "I may be a boy, but I am not stupid, I am just a little slow on some things ya know." he told her.
Athena smiled, "So it's settled then. We will find the one who brought back your father in this dimension and then once he has explained everything to you we can leave." she said happily.
Artemis smirked in victory, "Well, shall we head out?" she asked the two of them.
Naruto sighed, "Fine but we need to fetch Sasuke." he responded.
"Why do you need to get Sasuke?" Tsunade asked.
"He knows where Orochimaru is." Naruto responded. With that the blonde left to fetch is rival. However just as he was about to leave he turned back to face the Goddesses, "Meet me at the gate in thirty minutes." he told them.
Thirty minutes later exactly Athena and Artemis appeared at the gate and saw both Naruto and Sasuke waiting for them talking. Upon their arrival the conversation stopped which allowed Naruto to speak up, "Alright now that you have arrived I say it is time we finished this nonsense and see who's side holds more persuasion." Naruto said to them, "Sasuke will lead us to Orochimaru who is supposedly hiding out in the Sound Village after the war. Once we are there we will ask him to revive my dad. Once I am done speaking with him, we will see what happens next." he told the two of them while Sasuke stood silent.
"Very well." Athena stated. From what she had learned from Poseidon, the mortal body would have the memories of everything he had done and would even have knowledge of him being a God. Either way, this farce was done.
With that the group set out. As they were walking Artemis got curious about something, "Boy, can you tell me something?' she asked.
"Which one, there are two of us." Sasuke said.
"The blonde one of course, who else would I speak of." she responded.
"Ask away." Naruto said calmly.
"Very well then, why is it that you wield a polearm in battle?" she asked him.
Naruto perked up, "Oh you mean my bisento?" he asked and was given a nod in return, "Well that's easy. Every other weapon I tried to channel my quake based ability into either broke, shattered, or outright disintegrated completely. When I tried using them with my bisento it surprised me when the quake bubble simply spread across the entire blade without it shattering. Although I took extra precautions and had several repair seals placed on the blade." he told her.
"Well why not a simple double edge broadsword, or even a dagger?" she asked.
Naruto rolled his eyes and pulled out a kunai, "Watch." he said before a small white bubble appeared around the blade of the kunai. Seconds later the blade simply shattered to pieces, "See even with the bare minimum to cover the blade, it still shatter's to smithereens." he said.
After that the journey to the Hidden Sound was a quick jog in silence and upon arrival Sasuke had to disable the barrier that had been put up, as he was the only one that knew how to do it in te first place. Once it was down they immediately walked inside the hidden base.
However the silence that filled the air didn't last long.
"SASUKE-KUN!" a red blur squealed as it passed Naruto and suddenly latched onto the Uchiha.
Sasuke sighed as he quickly used his Rinnegan to transport himself out of Karin's grasp where he replaced himself with Suigetsu.
The black haired teen walked back over to stand next to Naruto and suddenly a splash was heard as Karin struck Suigetsu.
Now that was a peculiar ability. Was this another demigod child of Poseidon? She would have to ask him once she returned."
"When the teen reformed he grinned before looking to Sasuke, "My my, Sasuke" Suigetsu said with a mouth full of sharp teeth "It's just a few day's after the war and you're already here with the Hero of the Shinobi World." he then looked at Naruto, "You here to capture us or something?" he asked.
"Of course not idiot, Sasuke-kun is here to visit me and later bring him back to the village." she then shot to Sasuke and wrapped her arms around his left arm, leaning her head slightly on his shoulder "Isn't that right Sasuke-kun." she said sultrily. Ugh, Artemis wouldn't be surprised if she was a daughter of Aphrodite.
"Not even close." Sasuke responded without hesitation which caused Karin to sulk a little.
"Those women behind them." Jugo spoke up with his usual calm tone "They're not normal." which caused Suigetsu and Karin looked at him as if he was crazy while the two immortals just looked at the orange hair man in a little surprise.
It was at this point in time they shouldn't feel any surprise from what a shinobi can do anymore.
"They're my friends." Naruto said before looking at Suigetsu, "Can you two lead me to where Orochimaru is? I got a favor to ask him." he said honestly
"There is no need for that" a cold and chilling voice could be heard as Orochimaru made himself present to everyone, wearing the same attire he wore, the legendary Sannin of Konoha walked out from a secret tunnel with a smile, "You and Sasuke-kun, are the last people that I expected to visit this place." he then turned his eyes slightly to the immortal duo, "And you even brought some unfamiliar women with you too." he said curiously.
"Good to see you too Orochimaru" Sasuke sighed
"So can I ask why you are here?" the snake Sannin asked, "Since your not here to bring me back to the village and all."
"We need you to help Naruto talk to his old man." Sasuke informed and Orochimaru was a little surprise at this "there is something he needs to ask him."
"Then you're perfectly know what jutsu is need to summon him as well as the requirement." the Sannin said calmly "Lucky for you that Naruto, I have one here with me" Orochimaru then turned around and walked ahead "Please follow me." he said calmly.
"Ok fine, but let me warn you if you intent to use a human's life to summon my dad, I will make sure that you have a few scars that can never heal." Naruto warned before he quickly followed right behind Orochimaru.
"If using a human is the only choice for the sacrifice, will you still do it Naruto?" he questioned.
The blond was a little taken aback by that question, he looked down a little before quickly turning his eyes back to Orochimaru, "I will find another way, I just want to ask dad directly." Naruto told him "If there is no other choice I will find a different way to find out the truth." h told Orochimaru.
"Very well then, follow me." he told the group.
They all head to a wide room of Orochimaru's underground lab where the room they entered was lit up by candles inside of a large snakes' mouth which was opened wide on the wall. Athena could clearly see the place was some kind of laboratory in a way, with lots of strange devices and documents on the papers, with lots of scroll and some books as well.
And in the middle of the room there is a tank filled with liquid and inside was…
"Is that a white Zetsu?" Naruto asked, surprised "I thought they was all died out when the Infinite Tsukuyomi was released." he stated.
"Yes. Took me awhile to keep him alive but he is not the original one from the Zetsu army." Orochimaru said with a smirk, "he is the second and the most stable one, the original and the first clone died before I could stabilize them." he said truthfully.
"He cloned that man from a original man?" Athena asked Naruto quietly, as far as she concerned their origin shouldn't be known by too many people. Athena was talking with Naruto while looking at the pale man with spikes on his body floating inside the tank filled with water, Taka was helping Orochimaru drank the liquid away to take Zetsu out of the container.
"Yeah." Naruto then scratched his chin "Your world doesn't have cloning?" he asked causing Artemis to turn to hear their conversation in interest.
"Cloning isn't an unfamiliar term to our world, but to clone a human being was banned right after the idea was given. It was wrong, simply inhuman…but we can clone animals or an organ to replace the damaged organ." Athena said.
"Wow, I think I can understand that" Naruto nodded his head "I don't think my world follows any rule that forbid us from cloning, but I don't think anyone other than Orochimaru and Kabuto ever done this."
He then made a clone of himself appeared next to him with one hand seal, surprise the immortal group when a perfect replica of Naruto appeared.
"We have a Jutsu that allow us to create copies ourselves, called Kage Bunshin No Jutsu." he said before he dispelled the clone, who grinned at the immortal group before disappearing, "These clones are just real as I am because I distributed my chakra among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the my overall power"
"Then that mean you split this…chakra energy in half and give it to each clone, right?" Athena's head perked up with interest, "then the more clones you make the more exhausted you are." she said curiously. Chakra was amazing.
"Yeah…kind of…" Naruto nodded, it was particularly true but Naruto was a different case, he never felt tired before when summon hundreds of clones.
"The preparation is ready" Orochimaru said, drawing everyone's attention.
The Zetsu was still breathing but it was just barely, and it was lying on the ground in front of them slowly dying.
"I'm sorry because this is one of the first jutsu's you have to see." Naruto told the immortal duo.
Orochimaru then opened the scroll that contained the Fourth Hokage's DNA he got long ago and put it on the ground before he put his hand on it, activating the jutsu. Once the scroll was activated, the marks inside spread out in the form of a special seal with Zetsu, the living sacrifice in the center. Then dust and ash encased the Zetsu's body before slowly forming itself into an blonde man wearing black battle attire with the Konoha's forehead protector on top of his head.
"What was that?" Artemis asked "did he just…"
"Summon the dead." Naruto said with a nod, "In order to make this technique worked he needs a DNA sample and a sacrifice, a vessel for the soul of the person he wants to reincarnate." now Athena and the other immortal understood why Naruto was so against the idea of using a human's being, to them, Zetsu was not human and the goddesses couldn't feel any human energy from it either.
"The Fourth Hokage looked around, realizing he was in the living world once again, he then turned his eyes to the only person in the room he knew was there and could perform this technique.
"Orochimaru" the blonde said before looking around, he could see that Naruto and Sasuke was here as well, "What is going on? Why did you summon me this time for Orochimaru?" he questioned.
"Naruto Uzumaki wanted to ask you a question, and who am I to refuse the request of the Hero of the Shinobi World." Orochimaru chuckled before turning around "I will leave you guys alone" with that the Sannin walked out of the room with Jugo and Suigetsu pulling Karin behind them, who was screaming about not leaving Sasuke's side.
"I will leave you here too Naruto" Sasuke said and hurried outside with the rest of Taka.
"Thank you Sasuke."
"Now that we are alone" the Fourth Hokage turned to Naruto and said kindly "So son, what do you want to ask me?" if the question wasn't very important, Naruto would never go to Orochimaru to ask for help from a forbidden jutsu to have a direct answer from him. He got a feeling that he knew what Naruto was going to ask, but he didn't think that the blond could find out after all these years.
"Dad, do you know who they are?" Naruto asked, stepping aside a little and motioned his hand to Artemis and Athena, the two Olympians goddesses "they are Athena, Olympians goddess of war and wisdom and Artemis, Olympians goddess of the moon and hunt."
Minato widened his eyes in shock before his expression returned to normal, instantly letting Naruto know that his old man knew more than he appeared to be. "So you find out Naruto." he said calmly, his eyes not leaving Naruto.
Naruto felt a tear roll down his cheek as his fist clenched, "Why did you never tell me?" he asked.
"I thought you were dead when I returned to my home world. When I fought along side you in the war I decided you were strong enough to handle yourself and decided that my family didn't need to be involved in your life, or Sasuke's." he said.
Naruto quirked a brow, "Why also Sasuke?" he asked.
"He is the son of Hades, your uncle." his father told him.
And I am going to stop it right there. Once again credit goes out to YagamiNyugen for his parts of the chapter that he owns. I tried to steer it away from his story by having Sasuke born as the son of Hades to change it up a bit, but I don't know if I did the right thing. I don't know you tell me. Like, Review and I will see you all later.
