A/N: I think I'm going to stick to either Sakura or Annabeth from now on, because I just can't get the tone of Percy quite right… It's really annoying me!

On a lighter note, thanks to RedRangerBelt for reviewing!

Percy POV

Leo and I followed the blond in an orange jumpsuit down the street, apparently to eat ramen. I'd had my share of instant ramen noodles, and I wasn't sure why the kid thought they were so great. Although Leo seemed to share his sentiments, judging from the look on his face. Soon we were standing in front of a small shop that had Japanese characters over it. Somehow I knew they said "Ramen Shop." I suspect it has something to do with the gods, just like the reason why we're here. I sighed as we went in. I had no idea what was going on.

"Three large bowls of pork ramen!" The kid was telling the storekeeper.

"Uh, I'll just have one bowl of the same." I said. How was he going to eat all that? After all, he wasn't that big, probably shorter than me. Leo ordered the same and we all sat down.

1 hour later….

Leo and I were staring in disbelief as Naruto downed his twentieth bowl of ramen. I was sure he was going to burst soon, how could he not? I shook my head and leaned back in my chair.

"I wonder how Annabeth's doing." I whispered to Leo. He shrugged.

"She's probably asking questions and getting tons of information." He replied in the same tone. I smiled.

"Guess we should do the same." I said, then turned my attention to Naruto, who was on his twenty-first by now.

"Hey Naruto, what is this place?" I questioned. He grinned.

"This is Konoha! The Village Hidden in the Leaves!" He said enthusiastically. I raised an eyebrow.

"I see… Is that in the U.S., or what?" I questioned. Leo elbowed me.

"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto." He whispered. I frowned.

"Dude, you just called me a dog." I said. He frowned as well.

"Yeah, well that makes me a girl in a dress." He said. I grinned. A son of Hephaestus, in a dress? I'd expect it more from Apollo. Meanwhile, Naruto was looking at us, obviously confused.

"Uh, guess you guys don't have the Wizard of Oz around here." I said. He frowned.

"Is that like the Hokage? 'Cause that's who I'm going to be someday! Believe it!" He said, pointing a finger at us. I raised my hands.

"Yeah, I'm sure you will. Um, what's a Hokage?"

"A Hokage is the most powerful Shinobi in the village. He protects it, even it costs his life." Naruto explained. However, he lost me at Shinobi.

"Shinobi? Like ninjas?" I questioned. He nodded with a mouthful of ramen. Leo and I grinned at each other.

"Cool!" We said together.
