Demigod of Trade

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Percy Jackson & The Olympians

Chapter 2

Percy followed behind the taller man presumably to the one in charge here however he had noticed some looks they sent towards Naruto but not him.

They came up to a man drinking cola while the other demigods in their way left, they were actively avoiding him and the young demigod wondered why.

Percy stumbled back after walking into Naruto who stopped and sent a look towards him before looking at the man who did not like drinking the cola in his hand.

"So another one" The man said as he glanced over at Percy. "I should welcome you here but don't expect anything"

Percy raised an eyebrow before looking at Naruto hoping for an answer, only to get none. "So…who are you?"

The man looked at Percy as if he was crazy. "Weren't you informed?" He looked at Naruto for a second before looking back at Percy. "Actually never mind that, he probably stayed silent all the way here"

"I know that gods exist, monsters, this camp" Percy said before recalling what his mother told him.

"That makes it a bit easier as to who I am, you call me Mr D" Mr D said as he summoned another cola.

"Is that supposed to be short for something?" Percy asked as Naruto looked at his shoulder where a bird decided to land on, Naruto didn't mind and the bird seemed to like it there.

Mr D looked at Percy and sighed as Naruto looked other to his other shoulder to see a different bird there. It was then Percy learned who Mr D really was.

"Now I'm sure someone can show you around the camp and TELL you about it" Mr D or rather Dionysus said while looking at Naruto at the last part.

Percy looked other to Naruto as the blonde had just absorbed what appeared to be some blue light that emitted power.

"On m'a payé, je pars" After saying his piece Naruto turned around and started to walk away causing the new camp member follow shortly after.

"You're leaving?" He asked as the blonde nodded as he walked before the birds flew off his shoulders.

Percy still didn't like the looks his fellow campers sent Naruto.

The demigod was about to say something until he saw what appeared to be Mr Brunner and his friend Grover, only for the two of them to have...different legs. His teacher who used to be in a wheelchair now had the body of a horse while his friend Grover who used to use crutches now had legs of a goat.

"Centaur...Satyr" Naruto informed Percy without looking at him or the two Percy was looking at.

Percy couldn't believe that they were here. Wait does that mean that they were watching him and bring him to camp if he found out another way?

He didn't like the fact that his 'best friend' and 'teacher' kept this from him, hell was Grover really his friend or was he just acting until he was brought to camp?

He decided whether to go over to them or not, the yet to be claimed demigod thanked Naruto for the escort before heading over to Grover.

"Grover, Mr Brunner?" Percy said as he walked over to them.

"Ah Percy" His centaur teacher said as he galloped over with Grover. "But I'm afraid that is not my real name, my real name is Chiron"

"Percy, I'm glad you're safe" Grover said as he gave a sigh of relief.

"…You're a satyr" Was all Percy said giving him a look of betrayal causing the satyr to quickly explain to him why he did what he did.

"So how did you get here?" Chiron asked.

"Oh, Naruto brought me here" He said as he pointed over towards the older demigod, was he a demigod? Probably, and it seemed he was leaving camp.

It was then he saw Grover's look. "Please don't tell me he is the same, there has to be a reason right?" He thought to himself.

When he looked at Mr Brunner or rather Chiron's face, it was a different story. Chiron's expression didn't show the same look like Naruto was some sort of monster or something.

In fact Chiron looked…sad.

"That explains a lot" Chiron said as he was focused on the blonde before he disappeared from view.

"So…who is Naruto exactly?" Percy asked hoping to get answers.

Naruto wasn't one for talk so any answers he got were…short and to the point.

Chiron sighed. "Naruto is known as the Demigod of Trade"

"So he is a demigod" Percy thought. "Why is he called that?"

"Grover should be able to inform you while showing you around" Chiron said. "I'll be back when you two are finished"

Percy then looked at Grover waiting for answers as Chiron galloped away. "He is known as the Demigod of Trade for making sure other demigods get to camp in exchange for powers or other useful things"

Percy didn't know how to feel but he now understood why Naruto looked at him as if he had value…and maybe that glow as well.

"If he is a demigod then which cabin is he from?" Percy asked as Grover told of him each of the different cabins. Grover answered his friend's question by pointing towards the pink one.

"No way" Percy said in disbelief. He couldn't believe it, after what Grover told him about each cabin, Percy just couldn't comprehend that Naruto came from cabin ten.

From what Percy had gathered, cabin ten had people who didn't want to do anything that wasn't related to making themselves pretty, dating or anything that was related to love. They didn't partake in any activity and would probably choose not to, in a fight with one of the other campers they would probably lose.

Naruto however carried himself like a soldier or an assassin, maybe even both. To find out he came from Aphrodite's cabin was like saying Artemis liked men or Ares hated war, it just wasn't possible!

Percy saw what Naruto could do which just a single attack with his hand, he was a fighter unlike his siblings, Percy didn't want to think what would happen if he had a weapon. If Percy was honest with himself (which he was) he would say that Naruto was cool, kind of like a person you would look up to kind.

He was still processing the fact he was escorted to camp in exchange for whatever power he got.

"Yes way" Grover said. "And that's not all"

"What do you mean?"

"He has a second nickname" Grover told his demigod friend. "He is also known as the Mistake of Aphrodite"

Percy's eyes narrowed as Grover continued. "He is known by that title by almost everyone in camp along, even by his siblings" The satyr said. "Even mother shares the same views"

Percy struggled to withhold his anger, especially seeing the frown on Grover's face, Grover wasn't angry at the campers. He shared the camper's beliefs! Maybe thrown peanut butter was good after all.

Percy shook his head, it was wrong for that to happen but for Grover to glare at someone like everyone else after what he had to put up with in his school just made Percy angry and disappointed at him.

Deciding to change the topic from the hate Percy spoke up. "He gets rewarded for escorting demigods like myself right? What does he get?"

"It depends on the god really" Grover said. "Each demigod is worth more than the other"

"Like taking jobs that pay more than the other right?"

"Yeah that sounds right" Grover replied. "Anyways Hephaestus kids are worth more to him due to Hephaestus' forge while the Hunters of Artemis are worthless to him due to not being able to get something from Artemis. Aphrodite kids are also worthless to him as he has the same powers as his siblings"

"Hunters of Artemis, who are they?"

"A bunch of girls and only girls that Artemis recruited who swore off men and gained immortality" Grover answered. "Well that's the quick version of it anyway"

"So children of Hephaestus are worth the most to him while the hunters of Artemis and children of Aphrodite are practically worthless to him"

"You got it"

"Was there…any situations that got messy?" Percy asked as Grover then gained a sad expression.

"There was one situation where it got messy and it was with Zeus" Grover said. "Zeus was being stubborn when a demigod was dropped off, Naruto didn't get a reward or trade from this escort and he turned Thalia Grace, Zeus' daughter into a tree, more specifically that tree right there"

"He refused to turn Thalia back until Zeus pays Naruto with his power, especially after Hermes and Athena paid Naruto for his help" Grover said as he frowned thinking of the blonde. "He even managed to get the Golden Fleece to make sure we couldn't undo it ourselves"

"The Golden Fleece could do that?"

"Apparently" Grover replied. "It was the only reason he went and got it, or did he already have it?"

"Well I don't know but apparently the Golden Fleece could do that"

"It sounds like you were close to this Thalia person"

"I was the satyr that guided them towards the camp, her and two other campers you will meet sometime during your stay" Grover said. "Naruto had appeared just before I got there and then we guided them to the camp, he took down every monster that came our way before we reached camp and well you know the rest"

"Oh I was wondering what language he was speaking earlier?"

"French" Chiron said as he galloped other. "All children of Aphrodite can speak French"

"You can go now Grover, I shall take over" Chiron said as Grover nodded before leaving.

"What about you Mr Bru…uh Chiron, you don't have the same look as the others" Percy said. "From what I seen only you and Mr D don't look at him like the others"

Chiron looked visible sad when he turned to face Percy. "I now Naruto much longer than anyone in this entire camp, a lot longer"

Percy then followed the centaur shortly after they stopped talking. Meanwhile Naruto was leaving the camp.

Naruto was the only one near the camp's entrance but he stopped walking and looked at the trees, he knew he wasn't alone so he waited for whoever was hiding to reveal them self to him.

Naruto watched as a younger female came out from behind a tree. "I still can't hide myself from you can I?" She asked. The teenager currently had brown eyes with matching long brown hair. Naruto had seen her with black and blonde hair and with blue eyes before.

She was currently wearing one of the camp's shirts with a pair of black jeans. All in all she looked beautiful and probably caused many crushes without her knowing. She was one of the only ones in camp that didn't share the same opinions of her siblings, mother or the other campers.

This was Silena Beauregard, daughter of Aphrodite and one of Naruto's younger sisters. "Mon frêre ainé" She said.

"Ma chère soeur" Naruto replied.

Silena would probably be the closest family members he had and like her had the same powers. He could also alter his own appearance and could use it to show or get rid of his whisker birthmarks.

Most were confused as to why he wore clothes that practically hid his body and he had no reason to as all children of Aphrodite looked beautiful or handsome depending on gender and could look good with anything.

Silena also wondered why her brother basically hid his appearance, but it also suited him well. Maybe it was because he didn't care about appearances or something like that.

She never understood the hate her brother received. It was just ridiculous to her.

Some people claimed that he was a male Artemis and she doubted that was the reason for why their mother hated him, why did she hate him again? Silena didn't know but the campers here shared the same views.

It probably started off with their cabin or their mother who then influenced their cabin before either of them spread it to the camp. However Silena wasn't one to follow the crowd or even family tradition for that matter.

She watched as he passed her going off into the world beyond the camp, a much harsher place for a demigod. He did pat her head affectionately though when he walked past, she was probably the only sibling in camp who Naruto showed that sort of affection too if only through a pat on the head.

Silena as she watched her brother got further from the camp with a smile on her face. The hate for her brother was just stupid to her, she didn't hate her brother nor did she follow their views. Not everyone shared the same ideals, her best friend Clarisse held respect for him.

Then again he had found them and brought both of them here at the same time and she wondered if Naruto knew who she was to him. He went out of his way to bring her to camp even though he wouldn't get anything from their mother.

Her smile only grew, even if their siblings 'hated' him for some reason he still cared for them despite not showing it at all. "Come back soon mon frère" She said as she turned and left back towards the camp.

If Naruto is going to be a child of Aphrodite might as well have him at least speak French here and there right?
