The 3 walked out and Naruto stopped. He walked off in a different direction and Thalia called out, "Hey where are you going?" He ignored them in favor of walking toward the shed. When he got there he walked in and up to a shelf that held different scrolls. After grabbing 3 he walked out and opened one. After biting his thumb and adding chakra to the seal there was a large plume of smoke making the 3 jump back in shock. When the smoke cleared there was a Porsche Cayenne. They looked at Naruto in a mix of shock, awe, and fear.

"Well are you 3 getting in?" He asked. That snapped them out of their shock and Thalia asked in a loud voice the question on their minds, "HOW DID YOU SO THAT?!" "Ah this, well…" they listened closely, "… it's a secret." He said with a smile cause them to glare at him. They got in and he drove off, after getting on the highway he turned on the radio and put in a CD that started playing Life Is A Highway by Tom Cochrane.

"Really?" asked Thalia

"Yeah, problem?" Naruto asked

"Green Day is better" she replied

"Matter of opinion" he said and they then fell into a comfortable silence.


Night, 10 days later (Skipping all the adventures Luke, Thalia, and Annabeth went on in cannon. The adventures I find important will be added as flashbacks)

The car was destroyed 2 days in when a group of Cyclopes attacked them and threw large rocks while they were parked at a gas station. The group were currently in a forest in Pennsylvania. Grover had found them back in Ohio (correct me if I'm wrong), and was 'guiding' them to Camp Half-Blood. Naruto already knew where it was but humored the satyr. It gave him time to think about the… disturbing piece of news he received in the message from her. If they truly had come back… well he needed to be prepared. He hoped that some others had come back as a consequence because he could use all the allies he could against… them.

He was snapped out of his mussing when Grover suddenly stopped and paled, "There is a very large number of monsters, hellhounds I think, about 50 meters ahead of us and closing in fast." Naruto cursed his lack of attention to his surroundings and moved into a defensive position when he picked up more signatures, he counted about 24 with one being very powerful, coming from the left.

Recognizing it but still not letting his guard down he said, "Get into defensive positions." Which the other complied with. Not 5 seconds later, a large group of hellhounds burst forward only to be shot down by a volley of arrows. Upon closer inspection the arrows were silver, meaning only one thing. 'The Hunters of Artemis, just my luck. Or is it Grover's? Eh what's it matter.' He turned around only to meet the pointy ends of several arrows. He deftly started to prepare a barrier to intercept them should he need it when a voice with an authoritative weight to it cut though the clearing, "Hold!" he turned and was shocked at the beauty of the women he saw. He kept his face neutral of his thoughts and while he mentally shook his head. Sure he had heard of her and seen her from a great distance a couple of times but never this close.

"Why is there a group comprised of 3 half-bloods, a satyr, and a mortal walking through these woods. And why have you interrupted our hunt?" asked an annoyed Artemis

"Um w-w-well w-we were j-j-just-" "We were heading to drop off Luke, Thalia, and Annabeth at Camp Half-Blood. And we didn't mean to interrupt your hunt, we were simply passing through. We had no way of knowing we would run across you, let alone interrupt your hunt" Naruto cut off Grover before he could offend the goddess with his stuttering.

"If that is the case then why are you with them? You are a mortal thus you are not needed to go with them" she asked

"My reasons for being with them are my own. Besides even if I told you I doubt you would care Lady Artemis, what with me being a male and all." Naruto replied curtly. This caused her to narrow her eyes at him in suspicion.

"And how, pray tell, does a mere mortal know who I am?" Artemis asked

"I read a lot about Greek mythology, and the hunters was one such topic. I know the goddess Artemis lead them and by the fact that you were able to call them off I assumed you were her. Turns out I was right." He said in a neutral tone. This seemed to ease her suspicions but Naruto knew she wasn't fully convinced. "If that is all we shall trouble you no longer."

"I think it would be best if your group stayed in our hospitality for the night. I could never forgive myself if I let 2 girls go out this late just to die because of a boys sense of bravado." Artemis said in a tone the left no room for argument… to most people. However Naruto was far from being most people.

"I don't want to be a burden. We were heading for a clearing near here anyway to rest anyway so there is no need." He tried to reason. Naruto really, REALLY, didn't want to be near the hunters longer than necessary, especially a goddess.

"All the more reason for you to stay here, we have plenty of provisions so it would be no trouble at all." She insisted. Naruto was about to refute but felt a tug on his pant leg. He looked down and regretted it instantly. Annabeth was giving him a puppy dog pout and even with his countless years of experience he still couldn't defeat it. He sighed and nodded reluctantly, but said, "Fine, but we all stay in the same area." The group nodded easily but the Artemis and her hunters narrowed their eyes at him.


The gang stuck together for the night. Naruto Camped it outside of the tents saying he would help keep watch. Even when the hunter said they wouldn't need it he replied, "Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it." They still refused but he ignored them sitting by the 2 tents they were given for the night. He noticed immediately that the hunters seemed to really want access to the girls tent. But he rebuffed their efforts, saying they needed rest. The hunter look quite annoyed, some hostile, that he blocked their attempts but left, thinking he would fall asleep and be unable to stop their attempts.

They were quite annoyed that by the next day, he still had yet to fall asleep. After everyone was up was when Zoë came saying that Artemis requested Thalia and Annabeth. Luke immediately objected but Naruto beat him to it, "If they go, I go with them."

"You were not summoned, boy." She replied with a sneer.

"Maybe, but I am going anyway. Unless, that is, you think you can stop me?" he replied with a come here gesture. Smirking she tried to knock him out but was surprised to see him not only catch her fist but turn her around and bend it behind her back in a painful manner, not that she let it show. He was instantly target by many arrows but none were fired for fear of hitting Zoë. "Lesson one, never let an opponent bait you. Lesson two, never under any circumstances do you underestimated your opponent." Zoë was stunned at the nerve this… this… BOY… had to lecture her so she was unprepared for when she was pushed forwards, causing her to stumble and fall fowards.

Naruto was forced to dodge 2 arrows before Artemis came onto the scene and called for them to stop, "What did you do boy?!" she demanded

"I simply acted in self defense. She said you summoned Thalia and Annabeth, I said I was going with, she said no, I said I was going anyway, she attacked me and I retaliated by catching her pushing her away and giving some helpful advice." He replied evenly.

"My hunters do not need advice, especially from a mortal boy." She sneered at him

"Lady Artemis, if I was just a 'mortal boy' than I would be flat on my ass with stars in my vision from Zoë knocking me out while you threw your one-sided recruiting pitch to the girls." He replied

"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked, put off at how he labeled there recruiting pitch.

"You talk about life in the hunt, how it's a safe haven for girls. This is true, but how many families have you broken up because you pressured a girl to see things your way. How many little brothers have lost their big sister because you played on their wanting for freedom from responsibility. I acknowledge that some girls are better off here with you than out there, but others happen to have a good life going for them and don't need your prejudice ways forced into their life." He replied with a tone that had underlining anger in it.

"…" Artemis had nothing to say to that because not a lot could be said without it sounding like an excuse.

"We thank you for the 'hospitality' you have shown us but we will be moving out now. Have a nice day." He said voice void of any emotion. And with that he, Luke, Thalia, Annabeth, and Grover left. Though Grover did try to take one last look before being pulled along by Naruto.


WOW. Longest chapter ever for me. So ya Naruto and gang meet up with the hunters and there was hostility but then again, when is there never hostility between hunters and males. Well aside from the Last Olympian but I think even then there were feelings of hostility just buried under a need to protect Olympus.

Anyway so check out the new poll, pick 2 count them 2 options.

Still would like a beta reader but I will make due. Moltake out.
