Loveless
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Percy Jackson & The Olympians
Chapter 4
Naruto was sitting on his couch as he went through his books. He went through the basic manipulation and chakra control and memorized them. The fuinjutsu guide and Jiraiya's theories were the ones he was currently looking at.
"Hmm this seal would be useful but there as to be a way for it to hold the medical properties" He spoke as he looked from the guide to the notes. "These Healing Seals are going to be very difficult"
Jiraiya's notes didn't only have jutsu, they also had seal ideas. The Healing Seal was a tag that when placed onto someone's body the chakra within the seal would heal the wounds of the person much like the Mystical Palm Technique used by the medic nins.
If these seal was perfected it would save time for many medic nins and for those who can use medical ninjutsu. Naruto stood up as he closed the books and placed them on the counter before walking over and picking up Loveless.
"I guess it's time to search for my… family" Naruto picked up some seals before walking out of his home. Now how was he going to find them?
Sealing Loveless into an empty scroll along with the seals he headed off to the park. "Oh Naruto your early" Nimue said as she saw him approach.
Naruto looked down at his new friend. "I am going to search for my supposed family"
Nimue looked sad. "You're leaving?"
The blonde nodded. "Yes, I have a feeling which 'goddess' is my 'mother'"
"You do?" She said a little surprised. "Most demigods don't know their godly parent is until they are claimed"
"Claimed?"
"Claiming is when a god or goddess acknowledges you as their child" Nimue then averted her eyes from Naruto. "But some of them don't get claimed"
Naruto narrowed his eyes, not at Nimue but at the thought of parents not claiming their own children. "So there is a chance I will not get claimed by my mother?"
Nimue hesitantly nodded. "You said you may know who your mother is" She said trying to get off the topic.
"I have a feeling, there are a few signs at home" Naruto said as he remembered the signs, first there was a lot of aphrodisiacs, named after the Greek goddess Aphrodite. The second sign was that there was when he was back travelling in the Elemental Nations.
When in the Elemental Nations outside of Konoha many of the opposite gender were attracted to him and according the books on 'Greek Gods and Goddesses' it also explained about their demigod traits, which was odd, and it said that children of Aphrodite were naturally beautiful or handsome.
The ability to radiate beauty, regardless of how they might look and managing to make the clothes they wear look glamorous. Attract the other gender just be being near or walking by them.
The third sign was something he carried for a few years, his summoning contract. When he was young he was approached by the summon that wanted him to be their summoner.
When he signed the contract to be their summoner he noticed the name Kushina Uzumaki next to it, it was the same last name as his, and the summons confirmed it with him. When he met the woman claiming to be his mother, he didn't believe her.
She claimed to be Kushina Uzumaki, a woman who was already dead. He knew that his father was Minato due to their resemblance and the fact he was used for the sealing, these two were confirmed as his parents by Jiraiya and the pervert was shocked to see that Naruto knew.
Only one goddess had a relation with his summons. What was his summons?
Doves, the goddess that had a relation with doves, it was Aphrodite.
Naruto could be completely wrong but he had a feeling it was Aphrodite. Naruto turned to the Naiad. "I believe it is Aphrodite"
Nimue looked a bit shocked. "Are you sure? That can't be you are the exact opposite of a child of Aphrodite, maybe you're a child of another goddess?"
"That may be the case" Naruto said. "But the signs are there, I could ask 'him' about her and the fact that she knew about my parentage and godfather when only a few people actually knew just help her case of being my mother"
"Him? Who is him?"
Naruto had a more serious look in his eyes. "A temporary ally, he was there when I was born"
"Ooh I want to meet him"
"That would prove to be difficult" He said crossing his arms. "Only I have the ability to go there and I might be able to but there may or may not be any water"
"Well… is there anyone else you can ask?"
"My father but he is dead, my godfather but he is back… home and he already told me that the name she used and my father's name were my parents that I already knew" He then looked at his hand. "There is one other person I can ask"
"Who is that?"
"My summons or more specifically the boss summon" Naruto told the Naiad. "She was my mother's main summon and confirmed her mortal name when I first met them"
"So why don't you summon them?"
"I don't know if I can summon them here. I'm not exactly in the Elemental Nations, if I summon them they could become stuck here, there is no chakra in this world and reverse something may not work" Naruto said as listed off a few other things that would cause the summoning to not work correctly.
"Man that is a lot…" Nimue thought with a sweat drop. "If you don't try than you won't know"
Naruto sighed. "I guess you're right" Naruto went through a few hand seals. "Summoning Technique" A cloud of smoke covered where he slammed his palm and the smoke disappeared to show a beautiful white dove.
"Naruto-sama" The small dove said as it saw the dove summoner. "Where are we?"
"This is a place called New York in a completely different world from the Elemental Nations" Naruto answered the dove.
"How did you manage that Naruto-sama"
"A woman who says she is my mother sent me here to meet with my family" He told the dove as the dove's eyes widened.
"Someone claiming to be Kushina-sama, but isn't Kushina-sama dead?" The dove said.
"That's what I want to know but I don't know if you'll be able to go back to your domain" Naruto said. "If you're able to get back can you ask Lady Akemi about this?"
"Of course Naruto-sama, I will ask Lady Akemi about Kushina's status" The dove said before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.
"Looks like they can return to their domain" Nimue said as Naruto nodded.
"Yeah, I guess I'm lucky huh?" A short time passed as the dove returned.
"Naruto-sama" The dove spoke. "I have news from Lady Akemi"
"What's that?"
"She wants to reverse summon you to have the conversation" Naruto nodded as he and the dove disappeared leaving Nimue in the pond who decided to dive under the water.
Naruto and the dove were now in the summoning domain for the doves. In front of Naruto was an elegant, large, white dove the size of Jiraiya's main summon Gamabunta but just a little smaller.
"Lady Akemi" Naruto bowed.
"Naruto-chan" She responded bowing her head at the young summoner. "I heard that you wanted to talk about this woman"
"Yes I do Lady Akemi" Naruto said as he explained meeting the woman who looked and claimed to be Kushina, his mother.
"Hmm I'll check the summoning scroll" Akemi summoned the scroll before her and saw that the scroll was lightly crossed over. "According to this she is dead the only other way for this to happen is if she broke the contract herself"
"Did she tell you anything before she died?" Naruto asked as Akemi shook her head.
"I'm afraid not" She then became more serious. "There is something we found out"
"What's that?"
"Since we are in this… New York, we are unable to summon ourselves back to the Elemental Nations" Akemi spoke seriously.
"So I there is only one way back and that's through her" Naruto thought. "I wonder if this is also her doing as well, she is the Lady of Doves after all"
"So Naruto-chan what are you going to do?"
"Well this woman wanted me to meet my so called family after walking into my life when I no longer required her and sent me to New York" Naruto told Akemi. "My best chance is to meet them so she can send me back"
"Are you sure this is a wise idea Naruto-chan?" Akemi spoke concerned about her summoner.
"Yeah I'm pretty sure"
"Is there anything else you can tell me about this woman" Akemi asked as Naruto started to tell her she knew his secret parentage, that she was apparently a goddess and that Aphrodite goddess of love and lady of doves was his mother.
Akemi took this information in and wondered herself, if Kushina was indeed alive, goddess or not she would have to have a chat with her, Lady of Doves or not.
"I'll be going now Lady Akemi" Naruto said breaking the boss summon out of her thoughts.
"Take care Naruto-chan" She watched as Naruto disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Kushina if you're alive you have a lot of explaining to do" Akemi thought. "Knowing of Naruto-chan's birth parents is a secret only know to six people not including Minato and Kushina, Aphrodite or whoever you are if you are Naruto's mother…" She left her last thought trailing off.
Naruto appeared back at the pond as he saw Nimue resurface. "Naruto you're back. How was your trip?"
Naruto glanced over to Nimue. "It was fine"
"Did you learn anything?"
"Not really we talked about mystery woman and that the only way to go back home is through my 'mother'" Naruto said.
"I see… are you leaving now?" She asked as the blonde ninja nodded. "Stay right there" Nimue then dived under the water before coming back up holding something.
"What's this?" He asked as he was given the wrapped object.
"It's a present"
"A present, why would you give me a present"
"Don't you remember Naruto? We are friends remember" She giggled.
"Oh yes, I remember"
"Open it" Naruto then opened the present to see a sword. It was thinner than Loveless and the blade was slightly shorter as well. It was a double edged sword like Loveless but the main colour of the blade was silver with a hint of blue.
"This sword is well made" Naruto said as he inspected the blade. "Did you make this?"
Nimue nodded. "I did"
"Why are you giving me this blade?"
"Even though you probably have weapons and with your chakra abilities, I thought it would better be more safe than sorry. I hope you like it" She nervously said.
"It is a lovely blade" Naruto said with a small smile. "It must have took some time to make"
Nimue had a small blush on her face. "That blade is also enchanted"
"Enchanted?" Naruto said back to his emotionless expression.
"Walk onto the water" She instructed as Naruto walked onto the water. "Now place the tip of the blade on the surface of the water" Naruto held the blade upside down as the tip was touching the surface causing a little ripple.
"Now send some chakra through it, it should also get your demigod power" Naruto did as instructed as the silver blade gained a light blue glow as another rippled was sent through the water. Naruto watched as the water and looked over to Nimue.
"What was that for?"
"This sword has a unique ability, the first is when it touches water it absorbs it for power the same as putting the blade in the water and the stronger the glow will become until you unleash it. It is stronger when you put in the water and wait a while. The second ability is that when touching the water you can make your reflection turn connect here so we can communicate" Nimue said proudly.
"Is there any other features?" Naruto asked.
"There are more abilities but you'll just have to figure them out yourself" She winked at him.
Naruto looked down at the sword "Great now I have two swords only knowing their basic abilities, the Kyubi said that I'll figure out the rest for Loveless later on" He looked back up to the proud Naiad.
"Does it have a name?"
Nimue blinked. "Hmm, I know I'll call it… Torrent"
"Strong and fast-moving, overwhelming" Naruto said. "Good choice"
Naruto walked off the water. "Good luck" Nimue said as Naruto nodded and gave a wave. Now it was time to find his so called family but where to start.
After walking through a street he noticed that he was being followed.
