A/N: Anyone who wants to do a story where the characters read 'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes' series is allowed to do so as long as they tell me before hand.

I don't own Percy Jackson series or Naruto series, or any of the characters of either series. Nor am I the writer of the Son of the Huntress series

Warning: Read these stories if you haven't before reading this story:

'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Lightning Thief'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Sea of Monsters'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Titan's Curse'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Battle of the Labyrinth'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Last Olympian'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Staff of Hermes'

I'm going to make this clear to those who don't approve the idea of legacies in Camp Half-Blood.

One: If you actually looked into Greek Mythology you know there been plenty of Greek Legacies. Heck Frank's ancestors were Greek legacies before they joined the Romans.

Two: Time and time again in the Percy Jackson series they mention many famous names Rick Riordan used as demigods Greek Demigods reaching adulthood-George Washington, Amelia Earhart, F.D.R., General Sherman and many more-many of which had children of their own which would make their kids legacies.

Three: About Naruto not being wise enough to be a Legacy of Athena, keep in mind in future reference for any sequel fanfictions of Percy Jackson that when Percy and Annabeth have kids, if they have any of Percy's personality they might not have much interest in school and thus not show much of any of Athena's wisdom. So I should have a pass on the matter with Naruto because of that fact.

Four: Since I made Naruto a legacy of Athena through Minato, he can't have any connections with the Romans as for any god/goddess, Olympian or Minor to have a legacy they must have children who later grow up to have children of their own. Minerva doesn't have kids, and it been clear before the return of Athena's Parthenos the idea of the matter was saw as a disgrace to the Romans as it meant Minerva broke her vow in their eyes. Not to mention the fact that the feud between Greek and Romans was kept alive for so long because of Athena.

Also for anyone who thinks it be okay having a child/Legacy of Artemis or Hestia to meet the romans, although Diana or Vesta wasn't treated any worse from their Greek counterparts as the comparison of Athena and Minerva, keep in mind they also made a vow to not have any kids, and since Romans take their vows so seriously they have their own god whose domain is over vows I think they would frown upon the idea of Diana and Vesta breaking their vows. Although I did enjoy The Son of the Huntress series, even though Naruto saved Reyna and Hylla the fact any more Romans would accept the idea there being a child and grandchild of two virgin goddesses feels a bit far fetch.


Jason Talks to Hera and Juno

Jason dreamed he was wrapped in chains, hanging upside down like a hunk of meat. Everything hurt—his arms, his legs, his chest, his head. Especially his head. It felt like an over inflated water balloon.

"If I'm dead," he murmured, "why does it hurt so much?"

"You're not dead, my hero," said a woman's voice. "It is not your time. Come, speak with me."

Jason's thoughts floated away from his body. He heard monsters yelling, his friends screaming, fiery explosion, and what sounded like a powerful tornado tearing through the place, but it all seemed to be happening on another plane of existence—getting farther and farther away.

He found himself standing in an earthen cage. Tendrils of tree roots and stone whirled together, confining him. Outside the bars, he could see the floor of a dry reflecting pool, another earthen spire growing at the far end, and above them, the ruined red stones of a burned-out house.

Next to him in the cage, a woman sat cross-legged in black robes, her head covered by a shroud. She pushed aside her veil, revealing a face that was proud and beautiful—but also hardened with suffering.

"Hera," Jason said, getting the sense it was Hera and not Juno.

"Welcome to my prison," said the goddess. "You will not die today, Jason. Your friends will see you through, especially since Naruto Uzumaki on your team."

"What do you mean?" Jason asked, "What is so special about Naruto?"

"Naruto is everything you need to keep everyone together," Hera said. "You haven't realize it, but Naruto has a special gift that neither Athena, Hermes, Hestia, or even Pan bestowed on him. Not even the beast within him has any affect on this gift as long as Naruto is in control. A power greater than the daughter of Aphrodite's. He has a gift to make friends out of anyone, even enemies, and bring people out of darkness into the light. You are going to need his gift if you are to survive the trials to come. The very earth stirs against us."

Jason's head was whirling with questions and confusion of what Hera meant but he pushed it aside.

"You're a goddess," Jason said. "Why can't you just escape?"

Hera smiled sadly. Her form began to glow, until her brilliance filled the cage with painful light. The air hummed with power, molecules splitting apart like a nuclear explosion. Jason suspected if he were actually there in the flesh, he would've been vaporized.

The cage should've been blasted to rubble. The ground should've split and the ruined house should've been leveled. But when the glow died, the cage hadn't budged. Nothing outside the bars had changed. Only Hera looked different—a little more stooped and tired.

"Some powers are even greater than the gods," she said. "I am not easily contained. I can be in many places at once. But when the greater part of my essence is caught, it is like a foot in a bear trap, you might say. I can't escape, and I am concealed from the eyes of the other gods. Only you can find me, and I grow weaker by the day."

"Then why did you come here?" Jason asked. "How were you caught?"

The goddess sighed. "I could not stay idle. Your father Jupiter believes he can withdraw from the world, and thus lull our enemies back to sleep. He believes we Olympians have become too involved in the affairs of mortals, in the fates of our demigod children, especially since we agreed to claim them all after the war. He believes this is what has caused our enemies to stir. That is why he closed Olympus."

"But you don't agree."

"No," she said. "Often I do not understand my husband's moods or his decisions, but even for Zeus, this seemed paranoid. I cannot fathom why he was so insistent and so convinced. It was…unlike him. As Hera, I might have been content to follow my lord's wishes. But I am also Juno." Her image flickered, and Jason saw armor under her simple black robes, a goatskin cloak—the symbol of a Roman warrior—across her bronze mantle. 'Juno Moneta they once called me—Juno, the One Who Warns. I was guardian of the state, patron of Eternal Rome. I could not sit by while descendants of my people were attacked. I sensed danger at this sacred spot. A voice—" She hesitated. "A voice told me I should come here. Gods do not have what you might call a conscience, nor do we have dreams; but the voice was like that—soft and persistent, warning me to come here. And so the same day Zeus closed Olympus, I slipped away without telling him my plans, so he could not stop me. And I came here to investigate."

"It was a trap." Jason guessed.

The goddess nodded. "Only too late did I realized how quickly the earth was stirring. I was even more foolish than Jupiter—a slave to my own impulses. This is exactly how it happened the first time. I was taken captive by the giants, and my imprisonment started a war. Now our enemies rise again. The gods can only defeat them with the help of the greatest living heroes. And the one whom the giants serve…she cannot be defeated at all—only kept asleep."

"I don't understand."

"You will soon," Hera said.

The cage began to constrict, the tendrils spiraling tighter. Hera's form shivered like a candle flame in a breeze. Outside the cage, Jason could see shapes gathering at the edge of the pool—lumbering humanoids with hunched backs and bald heads. Unless Jason's eyes were tricking him—they had more than one set of arms. He heard wolves too, but not the wolves he'd seen with Lupa. He could tell from their howls this was a different pack—hungrier, more aggressive, out for blood.

"Hurry Jason," Hera said. "My keepers approach, and you will begin to wake. I will not be strong enough to appear to you again, even in dreams."

"Wait," he said. "Boreas told us you'd made a dangerous gamble. What did he mean?"

Hera's eyes looked wild, and Jason wondered if she really had done something crazy.

"An exchange," she said. "The only way to bring peace. The enemy counts on our divisions, and if we are divided, we will be destroyed. You are my peace offering, Jason—a bridge to overcome millennia of hatred. And like all bridges, you need a builder to help make sure you are completed. That's where Hestia's Champion comes in for your part. He is one of two the keys to completing the bridge that is you."

"What? I don't—"

"I cannot tell you more," Hera said. "You have only lived this long because I have taken your memory. Find this place. Return to your starting point. Your sister will help."

"Thalia?"

The scene began to dissolve. "Good-bye, Jason. Beware of Chicago. Your most dangerous mortal enemy waits there. You'll need Naruto's help if you have any hopes to defeating her. Otherwise you will die by her hand."

"Who?" he demanded.

But Hera's image faded and Jason awoke.

His eyes snapped open. "Cyclops!"

"Whoa, sleepyhead." Piper sat behind him on the bronze dragon, holding his waist to keep him balance. Naruto was behind her and Leo sat in front driving. They flew peacefully through the winter sky as if nothing had happened.

"D-Detroit," Jason stammered. "Didn't we crash-land?"

"We did, but it's okay," Leo said. "We got away."

"Yeah, but you got a nasty concussion." Naruto said. "How are you feeling?"

Jason's head throbbed. He remembered the factory, then walking down the catwalk, then a creature looming over him—a face with one eye, a massive fist—and everything went black.

"How did you—the Cyclops—"

"Leo and Naruto ripped them apart," Piper said. "They worked together and the cyclops didn't stand a chance. It was like they been working together for years."

"It was nothing," Leo said quickly. "I only destroyed one of them, Naruto got two of them."

"Don't cut yourself short, Leo. You did a great job with that Sump guy," Naruto said. "Not to mention you were the one who noticed that engine before I did."

"Guys, let me tell him!" Piper said.

And she did—how Leo and Naruto worked together to defeat the Cyclopes family, how they freed Jason, then noticed the Cyclopes starting to re-form until Naruto used some kind of wind style jutsu to scatter the dust into the wind—Naruto seemed quiet about that one as if hiding something. Once it was clear, Leo replaced the dragon's wiring and gotten them back in the air.

Jason was impressed. It did sound like Naruto and Leo worked well as a team. When Piper brought up Naruto destroying the Kampe Naruto rubbed the back of his head.

"It was a scare tactic," Naruto admitted. "Most Cyclopes tremble in fear at the mention of the Kampe because of it's history with the Elder Cyclops. So I thought if I brought up how I destroyed the Kampe, the fear would distract them long enough for Leo to do whatever he was doing. Unfortunately, the leader didn't take me seriously."

"Still, you did distract them," Leo responded.

Jason didn't feel better about it though. He felt horrible about stepping right into an ambush and spent the whole fight knocked out while his friends fended for themselves. What kind of quest leader was he?

"Hey, relax Jason." Naruto said. "First quest Percy, Annabeth and I were in, Percy and Annabeth were drawn into Medusa's lair by the smell of hamburgers. It's not that uncommon for demigods to fall for traps once in a while."

"Yeah. Now that I think about it, the Cyclops mention eating a kid in a purple shirt who spoke latin," Leo said. "They say he was Naruto's uncle."

"Yeah, but they called him a son of Mercury—Gramp's Roman form," Naruto said.

"Can the gods have children in their Roman form?" Piper asked.

"I would guess so… but I never heard anyone that wore purple and spoke Latin before Jason," Naruto said. "I wonder if there's another camp out there for Demigod children of the Gods Roman Form."

"No offense, Naruto, but if there is, wouldn't someone in camp know that?" Piper asked.

"Not if it's a secret camp for just those demigods," Naruto said. "One that only the gods and immortal beings like Chiron know but won't tell."

"Naruto, no offense, but you're starting to sound like those people who believe in conspiracies." Leo said.

Jason remained quiet during the argument as his head felt like it was going to explode. He felt he should have some idea what Naruto was talking about, but anything related to it was missing from his mind.

"You guys got to look from it from my point of view," Naruto said. "I grew up in a world separate from yours with it's own gods. My existence is proof that multiple gods can be found in one place without being connected to the same myths and stories. So why can't it be the same for other myths and stories."

"If you're right, Naruto, then the old Cherokee stories my grandfather use to tell would be true," Piper said.

"Yep."

"Only problem. Cherokee stories are about spirits not gods," Piper said.

"I'm not alone then," Jason said, referring to there being others like him. "There are others like me."

"Jason," Piper said, "you were never alone. You've got us."

"I—I know… but something Hera said. I was having a dream…"

He told them what he'd seen, and what the goddess said in her cage.

"That flickering thing sounds like what I saw Grans did when I met Minerva," Naruto said.

"Really?" Jason asked.

"Yeah. If so, you might have been talking to both Hera and Juno," Naruto explained. "Unlike my experience with Athena and Minerva, it sounded like Hera and Juno were actually working together to help us save them."

"An exchange?" Piper asked. "What does that mean?"

Jason shook his head. "But if Naruto is right, then both Hera and Juno gamble is me and Naruto. But just by sending me to Camp Half-Blood, I have a feeling she broke some kind of rule, something that could blow up in a big way—"

"Not if I do my job as bridge builder," Naruto said. "After all it's the bridge builder's job to make sure the bridge reach it's destination when completed."

"That's true," Leo said. "I'm guessing being the grandson of Athena and Hermes you'd know about bridges."

"Not really," Naruto said causing everyone to face palm, "But on the mission I met Zabuza and Haku, I had to protect a bridge builder."

"Oh right, you mention that before," Leo said.

"I wonder if Naruto and the other bridge builder Hera mention have anything

"As for that bit on the sleeping enemy—that sounds like the lady Leo told us about."

Leo cleared his throat. "About that… she kind of appeared to me and Naruto back in Detroit, in a pool of Porta Potty sludge."

"Did you say… Porta-Potty?" Jason asked.

Leo and Naruto told them about the big face in the factory yard.

"I slammed her with the Rasengan, but it did nothing," Naruto said.

"She wanted me to betray you guys and Naruto, and I was like, 'Pfft, right, I'm gonna listen to a face in the potty sludge." Leo finished.

"She's trying to divide us." Piper slipped her arms around Jason's waist. He could sense her tension without even looking at her.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"I just… why are they toying with us? Who is this lady, and how is she connected to Enceladus?"

"Enceladus?" Jason didn't think he heard that name before.

"I mean…" Piper's voice quavered. "That's one of the giants. Just one of then names I could remember."

Behind her Naruto nodded. "Yeah, I remember reading about him. He's the bane of my Grans. He must be the one Dirt face was talking about that wants to kill me."

"She also mention another name," Leo said. "Porpoise Fear or something?"

"Porphyrion, he was the king of the giants and bane of Zeus," Naruto said. "He actually started the last giant war kidnapping Hera."

"Hera or Juno said that too," Jason said. "Anything else we should know?"

"Not sure," Piper said. "The myths are really garbled and conflicted."

"The giants were impossible to kill. It took the Olympians to work with Hercules and Dionysus during their demigod days to defeat them." Naruto said. "Which means if we have any hope to defeating these giants, we need to work with the gods."

Naruto actually sounded excited to Jason when he said that.

"Kind of hard to do," Leo grumbled, "if the gods won't even talk to us."

"What about the gods from the elemental nations," Piper said. "Is there a way to summon them?"

Naruto was silent for a bit.

"Naruto?"

"There's one jutsu that summons a Shinigami for a sealing jutsu, but it requires a sacrifice from the one who performs the jutsu," Naruto said. "Other than that, I'm not sure if there are any jutsus or anything to summon a god from the elemental nations."

"Well that's a downer." Leo said. "Do you even know the jutsu?"

"No, I seen it used once, but I never learned it," Naruto said.

Jason got a sense Naruto wasn't telling the whole truth.

"What about the Fox or Cat line in the Great Prophecy?" Piper asked. "Could they have what we need?"

Jason looked back and saw Naruto paled. "They're not gods, but I know the Fox been compared to Typhoon as equal in power and that guy almost defeated the Olympians so it's possible. The problem is there's no way to control the fox, and I don't know anything about the Cat other than what I said back at camp."

"In other words, using them could be a risk," Leo said.

"But we might have too." Piper said. "The Prophecy mention them so they must have some use against the giants."

"Let's just figure out what we can now," Jason said. "We'll deal with the Fox and Cat part if we have to deal with it on this quest."

They flew west, and time passed before the giant dove through a break in the clouds. Below them, glittering in the winter sun, was a city at the edge of a massive lake. A crescent of skyscrapers lined the shore. Behind them, stretching out to the western horizon, was a vast grid of snow-covered neighborhoods and roads.

"That must be Chicago," Naruto said.

Jason thought about what Hera had said in his dreams. His worst mortal enemy would be waiting here, and if he had any hopes to survive, he had to rely on Naruto and some special power he has.

"One problem down," Leo said. "We got here alive. Now, how do we find the storm spirits?"

Jason saw a flash of movement below them. At first he thought it was a small plane, but it was too small, too dark, and fast. The thing spiraled toward the skyscrapers, weaving and changing shape, and , just for a moment it became the smoky of a horse.

"Storm Spirit," Naruto said. "It look like it's going wild."

"Let's follow it and see where it goes," Jason suggested.
