Naruto the Demi-Deity

Chapter 8

Naruto chuckled as he went over to the lake just as the chariot rose out from the lake and over to the clearing on the beach. "What's wrong Apollo have a little trouble driving?" he asked with a smirk as the Sun god got out from the chariot.

"Oh hahaha very funny Bro" he said in a dry tone with a smirk of his own. "I wasn't driving, I let Thalia here drive" he said as they all started exiting the chariot.

Naruto could see they were all shaken up for the most part and Percy was actually hugging the ground. "Shut up Percy, it wasn't that bad!" he heard Thalia yell as she stormed off and Annabeth followed to try and calm her friend down.

He turned to Zoe and smiled as she smiled back at him "We are heading to the cabin to rest, are you going to use the room Milady set up for you or are you using Lady Hera's cabin?" she asked as the hunters gathered around him.

"I will be alternating but if you ever need me the two cabins are connected through my room in Artemis's cabin. If you need me just go through there and knock on the connecting door" he said as they nodded. "We can talk about Capture the Flag later, get some rest"

The hunters smiled and went off to their cabin. Naruto sighed as he looked at them. He really wished he could be with Artemis, having her away from him felt weird and he had a terrible feeling about it all.

He needed to sleep, but he was definitely going to miss cuddling with his wife.

-Dream-

Naruto watched in fear as he saw his wife being bound in chains. He couldn't make out the surroundings other than it was a forest. He could see her bleeding some inchor and beaten.

His anger grew as he saw a large man pick her up by her hair "No husband here? Bad move goddess" he said before the scene disappeared and only left a pair of golden eyes glaring at him.

"Listen here Kronos" he said as his voice started mixing with Kurama's "if you don't let her go I will make you fade".

He heard the disembodied voice laugh before the dream evaporated and Naruto woke up.

-Real World-

Naruto woke up with a growl as someone was pounding on his door. He quickly got up and opened the door to see a heavily shaken up Zoe.

"Lady Artemis, she, she captured, she was captured" she said as tears poured slowly from her eyes. He hugged her to him as she accepted it and hugged back, slightly crying into his chest. Artemis was like her mother and her best friend, knowing she had been kidnapped had hit her severely.

"I know I had the same dream. You talk to Chiron I'm going to Zeus" he said as he got his cloak on. "Figure out what we can do but do not act rash" he ordered out as she nodded and wiped her eyes before running back into her cabin as she closed the door behind her.

He quickly unsealed the compass Artemis had given him back when he first arrived at camp and thought silver to see if it could lead him to her. He frowned deeply as the compass pointer spun wildly and the text that usually read where she would be was glitching as it read a bunch of jumbled letters that he could make no sense of.

He was not happy and Zeus was about to get an earful. He felt out for his marker that his mother placed in her temple and flashed away.

-Olympus-

Naruto arrived in the temple and was instantly brought into a hug from his mother. "Kaa-san as much as I love being hugged not now" he said in a slightly annoyed tone.

She pulled away with a frown "What is wrong Sochi?" she asked worried. She saw that his eyes were red with a vertical slit like Kurama's which only happened when he was angry.

"Artemis is captured and I could have prevented it" he said as he explained his dream to her making her narrow her eyes at the fact her husband kept Naruto from joining Artemis.

"Come with me, I can call a council meeting" she said as she held her son's hand and flashed away with him.

They arrived at the council room as she conjured a seat for her son next to her and slammed her foot down on ground calling out to the other gods. She watched as everyone arrived minus Artemis and everyone noticed.

"I called you all for a good reason" Hera said as she stared at her daughter-in-law's throne. "Artemis has been kidnapped"

Instantly Apollo burst up "What!? How can this happen!?" he yelled as Naruto stood up.

"She was captured while on a hunt that Zeus sent her on" he said as he narrowed his eyes at Zeus. "A hunt that he ordered her to do alone without me"

Apollo glared at Zeus before and slammed his foot on the ground "Enough! Yes I sent her on the hunt alone because I do not trust this man to go after the Ophiotaurus!" Zeus yelled as he narrowed his eyes at Naruto.

"Because of you my wife is captured by your enemies! If I had been with her I could've prevented it!" Naruto yelled back until his mother held his hand to calm her down.

"Everyone calm down!" she yelled flaring her power. "Apollo can you use your domains to find her?" she asked as the worried Sun god nodded.

"I'll try" he said as his eyes turned green and smoke billowed out until there was a flash of gold and Apollo coughed up some inchor.

"Are you okay Apollo?" Demeter asked a bit worried since this had never happened before.

"I'm fine but I can't find her. Something is blocking me from seeing her or the future" he said as he stared at the ground in shock.

"Don't worry Apollo the hunters and I will find her" Naruto said as he went over the console his brother-in-law.

"No you will not" Zeus said making everyone turn to stare at Zeus like he had two heads. "I will not allow you to go and find her since the beast will most likely be found while on it" he said until he was silenced by a massive wave of KI.

"You have no right to deny me to go and find my wife!" he yelled as his voice mixed with all the Bijuu. "I couldn't give a fuck about some Ophiotaurus all I care for is my pregnant wife!"

Everyone looked at Naruto and felt for him, especially Hera. It hurt her that she couldn't be there for her Sochi and give him the family he longed for. But now that he had all his relatives, a family in the form of the hunters and a wife. And to hear she was pregnant only made her feel worse for her son since she was in danger.

"W-What? How do you know?" Apollo asked as Naruto sighed, calming down a bit.

"She told me when we were visiting Camp Jupiter. She wanted to keep it a secret until she was more along but we can't do that now that she is kidnapped" he said as he turned back to Zeus. "And you won't let me save my own wife!"

"You will not go! You only want to go for the beast!" he yelled before Naruto hit him strong in the face as he entered his Six Path's chakra cloak as his eyes were still in Kurama's form.

"You can't stop me from saving my wife you asshole!" he yelled as he felt his mother hold him back and hug him.

"Please calm down Sochi, Apollo will have his Oracle issue a quest to find her and you can go on it" she said as Apollo helped her hold him back. He wasn't struggling against them but she could still feel how angry he was.

"Please Bro, you are the only one I trust to go. You are still a demi-god so you are eligible" Apollo said as Naruto eased out of his cloak.

"When will you issue it?" Naruto asked as his eyes returned to their normal state.

"After Capture the Flag, I can't control who it goes to but I know the quest will be done" Apollo said as Naruto nodded.

"I swear I will find her Apollo, if not then I will destroy anything in my path" he said as Apollo smiled.

"I know bro, just return to camp and tell the girls. But do not go before the quest is out or who knows what will happen" he said as Naruto nodded and Hera hugged him.

"Just be safe Sochi" she said as he nodded and hugged her back before flashing away.

"How dare that insolent boy hit me?!" Zeus yelled before being silenced by the glares of numerous gods and goddesses.

"You refused to let him save his wife. He has every right to hit you if not make you bleed Zeus" Hera said in a chilling tone that scared the King of Olympus severely as he chose to shut up to save him from his wife's anger.

-Camp-

Naruto had to really focus to calm himself down. He wanted to do nothing other than go and find his wife. He was upset that she didn't use his marker but he figured she had been caught off guard and bound before she could place it down.

He felt useless just sitting in camp but he knew he had to wait otherwise it would be dangerous and unpredictable.

He made his way over to Artemis's cabin and knocked on the door before an angry looking Zoe opened the door but calmed down once she saw who it was. "Lord Naruto what did the council say?" she asked as he came inside and closed the door behind him.

"They said we have to wait for a prophecy that will be given after the Capture the Flag game" he said getting yells of outrage from the hunters. "Silence!" he yelled getting them to quiet down "I know this isn't what you all want, trust me I want nothing other than to just take you all to find her but without a quest we could change what happens and I can't risk it. Not with Artemis's safety on the line" he said in a serious tone as the Hunters nodded.

"Then we will have to make quick defeat of the campers' so we can get the quest" Zoe said as everyone nodded.

"As long as you do not heavily harm the camper then fine, just focus on incapacitating. Use what you need to win but do not showboat" he said as he went back to the door.

"Where are you going Lord Naruto?" Zoe asked as she had expected him to train them.

"I have to get something set up and train in my more destructive powers but I will leave a strengthened clone for you all so I can train you all as well" he said as they nodded. He quickly created a clone before he left for the forest.

He sat down to gather Nature energy as he definitely needed a boost to complete the plan he had in store. Not to mention the durability Sage mode gave him would be useful.

-Later that Day-

Naruto watched as the Hunters got ready for the Capture the Flag. He could see how serious all of them were, especially Phoebe, Zoe and Allison who all drew out their swords of the Mist that he had given them.

He felt slightly afraid for the campers but he knew they only wanted to get it over with as fast as they could so the quest could be given to them. He hated waiting as well so he wanted it to be done already since he disliked not doing anything about saving her.

"Both sides already know the rules!" he heard Chiron yell as he sat in a tree above the Hunters since it was deemed unfair if he joined. "The creek is the boundary line! The entire forest is fair play! When the horn blows the game begins!"

Naruto looked down at the hunters "Win so we can get out of here" he said as they all nodded and brandished their bows and weapons.

"Of course Lord Naruto, we don't plan on losing" Zoe said as she had Nuibari strapped to her back and her bow in her hands.

"Good" he said with a smile as the horn blew and the Hunters ran off.

-Zoe-

Zoe and her hunters made their way through the forest. She used her chakra to silently move through the forest until she saw her target. The child of Zeus.

Phoebe was off taking down the child of Poseidon since they needed to take down the heavy hitters while the others focused on getting the flag.

She ran her hands through the seals that she had spent months learning from the scrolls Lord Naruto had given her. "Ice Style: Frozen Tundra" she said as she drew back an arrow and it turned into black ice. She aimed her shot and let the arrow fly.

Thalia was caught off guard as a black arrow stabbed into the ground right next to her foot and the ground around it turned to ice.

The ice spread until even her feet were encased in ice. "What the hell!?" she said annoyed as she tried to break the ice with her lightning but found it didn't affect the ice at all.

"Ice release, a mixture of water and wind. The wind negates your electricity" Zoe said as she dropped from the tree.

"When have you ever been able to use ice!?" she asked a she tried to break the ice with her spear but found every time it broke off a piece it only repaired itself and moved higher and higher on her legs. "This is against the rules! Prisoners can't be bound" she said as Zoe smirked.

"Who says you are my prisoner? You merely got hit by my attack" she said as she draw Nuibari before she ran off back into the trees, leaving behind the frozen girl who was cursing up a storm.

Zoe weaved through the forest gracefully as she let the thread of Nuibari lengthen behind her. Once she was happy with the length she made it reel in and instantly she heard screams from numerous campers. She broke the string off making sure it was tight enough to keep them dangling and stuck it to the ground with chakra before continuing towards the flag.

-Phoebe-

Phoebe smiled as she swung her large sword around. She had it coated in chakra to act as a whip or a wave to bat away campers. Hiramekarei definitely suited her.

She smiled as she saw the Poseidon boy trying to sneak through the forest but he was as loud as a bull running through a china shop compared to her fellow hunters. She jumped down from her tree and swung down her blade and coated it in chakra again.

Percy's eye widened as he saw a huge wave of blue glowing, what he figured to be, water come down at him. He saw it was attached to a huge sword that was being wielded by a hunter. He had seen some hunters using some strange arrows that reminded him of a comic book character, Green Arrow and his trick arrows since they would explode with fire or zap people with lightning.

He tried to will the water away from crashing into him until it didn't respond and it crashed into him sending him flying into a tree.

"It's not water boy" Phoebe said as she drew her sword back again and frowned as she saw the boy pull out Anaklumos and she narrowed her eyes at him. She didn't like this boy having Zoe's old blade.

"That isn't going to be useful against me boy" she said as she whirled her blade around to trip him up before dashing at him and landing a strong hit on his chest.

Percy was a little annoyed at how this hunter was swatting him around like it was nothing. He felt something tense inside him as water gathered around him and he sent it shooting at the hunter only for her to disappear in a cloud of smoke and a log to be in her place.

"Substitution boy, always works" Phoebe said with a smirk as she ran through the hand signs as she strapped her sword to her back after she saw him bring water to him "Lightning style: Electromagnetic Murder!" she yelled as she sent a medium powered wave of electricity at him.

Percy watched in shock as he was hit by the electricity and since he had his arm connected to the water he brought it felt even worse. He felt his vision start to dim as his body fell forward.

Phoebe smirked as the boy passed out. She wished that she could take Anaklumos back but the only way to get it and keep it away was for the weirder to give it up of his own free will or to disown it.

Her smile grew as she heard the horn blow and the centaur yell out "Hunters win!"

She looked to see Allison carrying the flag as her Kabutowari was strapped to her sides.

-Naruto-

Naruto smiled as Zoe and the rest of the hunters came to congratulate Allison. He watched the whole fight and was proud of how fast they had done it without harming anyone more that slight first degree burns, fire and electrical.

He was impressed of all of the hunters but was brought from his thoughts as he saw the Oracle walk out towards Zoe.

Zoe looked around until she found him. He smiled at her and nodded, motioning for her to go on.

She bowed to the Oracle "Please tell me what I must do to save Lady Artemis" she said as the Oracle's mouth spilled out with green smoke. It gained the image of Artemis but she had a pregnant belly that made his heart drop.

"Six shall go west to the goddess in chains,

One shall be nearly lost in the land without rain,

The bane of Olympus shows the trail,

Campers and Hunters combined prevail,

The Titan's curse must two withstand,

And one's parent shall be crushed by child's hand" the Oracle said before falling down on its back.

Naruto stepped forward "I want a council meeting with the heads of the cabins now!" he ordered as everyone looked at Dionysus who nodded.

"I hired him as a co-teacher for you all, you heard the man. Council meeting in five minutes!" he ordered as everyone nodded. "Peter Johnson and Tally Goose take the Oracle back to the attic" he said with an absent minded wave as he walked off.

Zoe looked to Naruto with worry in her eyes "I-Is Milady pregnant?" she asked as all the hunters looked at him confused since the Oracle usually too the visage of people the person it was talking to knew.

Naruto frowned and nodded "Yes and that is why I am even more worried about her" he said as the hunters grew pale. "But don't worry, Zoe is leading the quest and I am coming as well" he said as she nodded vigorously.

"Of course you are coming along Lord Naruto" she said as she looked to her fellow hunters. "I will inform you of the decisions in the meeting. Rest as this was our quickest win. Milady will be proud when she hears of it" she said as they nodded and started heading back to the camp.

She looked over to Naruto who nodded and smiled at her "Don't worry, I won't allow anything to get in our way of getting Artemis back" he said as she nodded.

"I know Lord Naruto" she said as she walked off towards the Big House and he followed behind her.

-Big House-

Naruto currently sat in his mother's chair as Zoe sat as the representative of Artemis's cabin. He looked around at the other counselors and frowned at the negative emotions that were coming from Thalia, the child of Zeus.

He ignored them as he stood up. Dionysus left him to lead the meeting as Chiron had something to do. "Okay we are here to discuss who Zoe is choosing to come along though remember Hunters and Campers combined prevail" he said as Zoe frowned but nodded.

The last thing she wanted to do was mess up the quest, even if she wanted to bring only Hunters she knew it wouldn't work well for them.

"I am bringing myself, Lord Naruto and Allison for the Hunters and for the campers I can't think of anyone so Lord Naruto can choose" she said as she crossed her arms. She couldn't think of anyone that deserved to come along from their side since she didn't like any of the campers.

Naruto chuckled as he looked around. His eyes landed on Percy and Annabeth as well as Thalia. He knew Thalia didn't like the Hunters but her powers would be useful. "Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase and Thalia Grace" he said making Percy and Annabeth smile as Thalia grumbled.

"But know this," he said getting their full attention "Zoe is in charge and if you do anything that hinders the quest I will warp you back here faster than you can say 'Oops'" he said as his eyes flashed red for a second getting nods from everyone before he turned to Zoe and nodded.

She was a bit upset at the man coming along but honestly it could have been worse. "We leave very first thing in the morning. Don't be late or I am leaving you behind!" she yelled as she walked out.

Naruto followed after and patter her on the back "We will be fine, I have a few things planned that could help" he said as she nodded.

"I just worry for Milady" Zoe said as he nodded.

"We will get her back safe and sound. I swear on River Styx" he said with a serious look on his face as thunder boomed, sealing the oath.

-Chapter End-

I hope it went as well as I thought it did. I liked the Capture the Flag game. Sure it was short but that was the point. The hunters didn't want to waste any time on it so they could get their quest.

I modified the prophecy since I sure as hell am not letting Zoe die. Fuck that.

You will get to see a new mode for Naruto's gauntlets next chapter ^^ the Manticore mode.

Also yes Artemis is pregnant :D she kept it a secret from everyone but Naruto as she found out when they were at the Roman camp.

I really hope you all liked it

Until Next Time
