BLOOD OF WAR AND WISDOM

2nd Chapter

Naruto has been living with his mother, Athena, for six years after the acceptance of the Olympic Council. Olympus and the Olympians' daily lives have changed as a result of the appearance of the blond, innocent child and his childlike behaviour.

Naruto is a bundle of joy who never stops smiling and having fun with others, especially with his pranks that turn the gloomy Olympus into a happy place.

Days pass as quickly as water. Naruto became closer to his family, and everyone began to embrace him. He also spends the majority of his free time with his uncles, Apollo and Hermes.

He likes Hermes because he plays pranks on people, like him, and Ares, Naruto's grandpa, who got extremely close to him and even spent his leisure time with him, teaching him how to wield a sword, spear, and axe in combat from the age of five.

Apart from coming to his aunts, Artemis did not like guys.

Nevertheless, after learning about Naruto's childhood, she welcomed him. Naruto became her favourite nephew, and she even taught him archery and hunting, and she promised to make him Naru, a perfect man and a god, unlike her brothers and uncles.

FLASHBACK

Naruto and Artemis meet for the first time,

It was after the council meeting with the Olympian gods and Naruto. Artemis did not attend the council meeting that day, but she learned that her half-sister had a son who was a descendant of the Olympians and the champion and adopted son of her brother Apollo by giving him his blood, and she also learned that the boy lived with Athena on Olympus.

Now Artemis is making her way towards the temple of Athena and when she arrives, she enters the temple and calls out to her half-sister, "Athena, it's Artemis, where are you?"

Athena said, "I am in the library Artemis". The Athena temple within it is like a matrix, and it is difficult for a newcomer to navigate, but not for Artemis and the goddesses of the hunt and the moon, who have travelled to the location. When she got there, she saw a blond-haired child sitting on Athena's lap and Athena, who was reading the Greek-Rome history book with a happy expression, and the child was listening to her and smiling at her.

Athena stopped reading when she sensed the presence of Artemis and Naruto looked with confusion about why his mother had stopped reading the book. Naruto noticed his mom glancing towards the entrance of the library and saw a lady standing there and staring at them.

"Athena, what does this mean?" She said, glancing at Naruto, and continued, "Is it true you have a kid and it is him?" As she stared at Naruto, she said, her voice straining.

"Yes, it's him and his name is Naruto Senju-Uchiha and Artemis doesn't even try to attack or do anything bad to my son because he is a male. He already went through hell because of my idiocy," Athena replied in a serious tone and hugged her son tightly, who nuzzled into his mother's tummy.

Artemis was now shell-shocked. Athena just threatened Artemis with the boy and recovered from that shock and she asked "what do you mean he went through hell?"

After a long sigh, Athena begins to tell us about the element nation and her love, how Kubi attacks and seals it on his son, and how she eventually finds her son dying as a result of what he went through."

Unbeknown to Athena, her eyes started to shed tears in the corners.

Artemis wept over what had happened to her nephew, wondering how people could do such things to a small child, and her rage grew to the point where she was ready to kill the villagers. At that moment, she heard "Artemis, stop releasing too much power, and now look Naru-chan afraid of that," Athena said as she hugged her terrified little boy.

After calming herself, she turned towards the child and smiled kindly, "Don't worry Naru! Aunt Artemis will always love you and make you safe". Naruto looked at her fearfully and after hearing that, he smiled at Artemis and said "thank you Arty" with his cute face, which made her squeal like a little girl and hugged him and thought how cute his little nephew was.

From the day Artemis came to Olympus, she spent her time with him.

END OF THE FLASHBACK

At the training area,

Naruto, who was standing with his well-designed golden bow in his hands and his uncle Apollo, who was guiding his target practice, was now 11 years old.

"Naruto, you naturally have good archery skills, and it looks that my blood has also enhanced your abilities around me and my younger sister. Don't get a big head and practise it as I have previously instructed you. " Apollo told his favourite nephew.

Naruto focused, raised his bow, and released arrows at the target, each arrow landing dead centre, before turning to his uncle and jokingly saying, "Keep an eye on it, uncle; one day I'll surpass you and Arty in archery, and as you know, I'm as good as you in medicine and poetry, and I'm going to snatch your godhood.

It got a snort from Apollo and said "as you can". Apollo was aware that his adopted son, his nephew Naruto, who was good at archery as well as medicine and poetry at the same level as Apollo, was a rival to him and he had never seen his children have this level of his powers and were even more amazed that Naruto had power over sunlight at a very good level, not the same as Apollo, but at least 50% and none of his children had that level.

After coming out of his thoughts, Apollo approached his nephew and ruffled his sun-kissed hair, saying, "OK, little brat, practice daily and don't forget your training with Ares next week."

"I know and don't flirt with hunters. You do know what happened when Arty saw that," Naruto said with a smile, and thinking about the event, Apollo's face became pale.

After finishing his training with his uncle, he walked towards his mom's temple. Along the way, he was greeted by many nymphs, satyrs, and various minor gods and he also replied to them. Naruto is regarded as Olympus' Prince.

At Athena's temple,

When he entered his mother's temple, he was greeted by his mother, his great aunt Aphrodite, who was winking at him, Artemis, who smiled happily, and Hestia, who smiled motherly and greeted him with a kind smile. Naruto means more than a grandnephew to Hestia; he is like a son to her, and she is like a mother figure.

Hestia and Naruto shared a deep bond from their first meeting because both loved them more than anything. The goddess of fire, hearth and family held a strong, motherly love for Naruto and loved him as her child. loved him and cooked for him every day, especially the Ramen.

"Hello, ladies, good to see you all" Naruto wished his aunts and grandma and got a happy smile from them.

"Good to see you too, Naru. How is your training going with my idiotic brother? And your mom also said that you're training under Ares, "the goddess of hunting and the moon".

"Oh, it's going fine and I have completed all my archery training given by uncle Apollo and also I completed my ninja training by using the techniques of Sharingan and elemental ninja techniques as well as Mukton (wood style) under grandpa Ares replied proudly.

Everyone in the room was astounded at how much Naruto had grown in the six years he had spent on Olympus training under the two gods. Naruto now wields a power comparable to the Olympian gods, except for immortality.

"Oh, Naru-chan, when you turn into a god, you will be one of the powerful gods among the 12 Olympians", proudly said Hera, queen of Olympus, to her favourite grandchild. Naruto blushed, scratched his head, and smiled goofily as he heard the compliment.

Hera was amused by how much her son Ares had changed since the arrival of Little, as well as how much Olympus had changed.

"Ho, cut the chit chat, Naru-chan, go and clean up yourself. I have cooked Ramen for you and others," Hestia, the goddess of family and fire, said to her adoptive son and got a happy nod from Naruto.

Everyone just laughed at his reaction and just how much Naruto when it comes to ramen.

The rest of the day happily went by, eating dinner and chatting and, finally, he said goodbye to his aunts and his grandma. On the following morning, I finally went to sleep peacefully.

The following day,

Naruto was now on his way to see his uncle, Hephaestus, the god of forging, fire, and volcanoes, to pick up his new weapons. Hephaestus adored Naruto and lavished him with gifts on his birthdays, even teaching him how to forge his weapons.

When Naruto arrived at Hephaestus' forge, he was greeted by a bulky red-haired man who said, "Ha, good to see you. Naruto, are you here to pick up your new weapons?"

"Hello!Uncle Heph, and yes, I am here to get my weapons, and is there anything else I can do for you? Naruto asked with a gentle smile. Naruto had occasionally assisted in the forging of God and admired his work.

"No, thank you! Right now, I think I'm fine. " The god of the forge replied and added, "Come on, Naruto, follow me to the display room".

it Located right next to the soot-stained forges with great distinction was the Display Room, which was a misnomer if Athena had anything to say about it. It stood taller than the chimney of the forge and had a few dozen grand Greek columns supporting its meticulously chiselled roof - a grand family portrait of the Olympians showcased on it. A wide row of stairs welcomed all gods and goddesses upon entry and it led into a large open room with

long rows of showcases. Through transparent glass displays, hundreds of age-old weapons, shields and armour decorated the room as a Hall of Fame, and Hephaestus stood proudly in the middle of his greatest achievements.

The Smith God led his awed brother to the very back of the Display Room. A small display case that stood shorter than the rest was all that Naruto could see, and his grin grew brighter with each passing second. His uncle had promised to forge him his own weapon, and he had been waiting to see it for a long while. Athena had insisted that Naruto should complete his training with his spear and shield before starting with his blade, but Hephaestus deemed Naruto ready.

"Wow, is this it?"

The elder son of Hera smiled, "Yes, all in this display case."

Naruto's eyes gleamed at the gleaming glass display, but he couldn't spot any swords. Two rings, one gold and one silver were simply displayed on a small rack. Hephaestus snapped his fingers and the display opened, and Naruto grinned as his brother reached in for the rings. "I made you a sword and a spear." "Two weapons, really?!" asked the boy as he bounced up and down excitedly.

"Here, put the silver ring on your right thumb and the golden ring on your left," said the god of forging.

Naruto did as he was told and discovered that the rings were perfectly sized for him to fit into."I designed these rings to fit your hands as you grow, and they are designed to be simple to carry and able to hide in plain sight." Naruto grinned as he stared at his thumbs. "They retract and expand on your command; all you have to do is send a surge of your power into each of them to activate them." The Smith God smirked and crossed his arms proudly, "Give the silver ring a light surge of power."

A surge of godly essence filled the silver ring, and it was transformed instantly. It was a curved sword with a wide blade, about five inches wide. It was twenty-four inches in length - similar to a Gladius - but the most amazing factor about it was that it was extremely thin, so thin that the blade was transparent. It was illuminated by a brilliant silvery-white light and radiated power; it made Naruto shiver as he held it tightly in his hand. And it was very light, almost as weightless as a feather. The hilt was beautifully crafted and fit perfectly in Naruto's hand, shining like godly silver.

Hephaestus smiled, "I named the sword the silver moon, signifying its blinding speed and lethality. It is made purely out of Divine Silver, the rarest of the godly metals found on Mount Olympus. I forged it with my fire and completed it with the help of Apollo. We used the heat from his Sun Chariot to add the finishing touches. The blade is one micrometre thick - one-thousandth of a millimetre. It is by far the lightest and sharpest blade I have ever made; it weighs less than one kilogram and can slice through most, if not all materials in existence, and if you channel your godly wind into the blade, it might be the sharpest blade in existence. " Naruto was in awe as he twirled the blade around, feeling how perfectly balanced it was. "But don't think it's fragile; after my folding with such extreme heat and powerful energy, it can withstand the strongest attack from the heaviest Warhammer bluntly, so if you want to shave Ares' head, this is the sword to use."

"In the name of Zeus, Uncle Heph, this is amazing." He looked up at his brother with utter adoration. "You are awesome!"

The look of his little nephew was worth all the hard work, "Now check out the spear."

Naruto smiled as brightly as Apollo as he channelled some of his power into the golden ring. With a golden light, a 10 foot well designed golden spear made of imperial gold appeared and the sharp edges of the spear were coated with divine silver which can affect immortals and mortals.

Its name is the Strom ruler and it is the opposite of the silver moon; it weighs forty pounds and will become heavier as it grows to match your muscle mass. It's not nearly as powerful as Father's Masterbolt, but I designed it to enhance your lightning and wind powers. " Hephaestus ran his fingers over the thorny spirals of the blade and smiled, "These rounded edges are designed to collect the power you channel into the hilt and amplify it exponentially. This spear can split the sky and light the night asunder with wind and lightning. " Naruto's jaw dropped at the pure awesomeness of his new weapons. "You will need to adjust to using such differently weighted blades. So I recommend that you practice every day with both weapons, because only then will you be able to properly use their power.

Naruto jumped in joy and hugged his uncle and said "Thank you very much, uncle and I will be proud of you". Naruto dashed to the training area to put his new weapon to the test, and Hephaestus smiled and shook his head, as Naruto resembled his brother when it came to weapons.

In the temple of Athena,

The goddess of wisdom's face was sad as she gazed at a photograph of a 7-year-old female child who had the same eyes as Athena and blond hair. Athena softly touched the face of the child in the photo and silently said "Annabeth". Annabeth was one of Athena's daughters, and she was four years Naruto's junior. Unlike Naruto, Annabeth had no one to comfort her when she cried or was afraid, and the little girl's step-mother blamed her for the monster's attacks, but her father, who was with Annabeth, abandoned her and didn't care about her complaints about spiders in her bed, which enraged her. Arachnida vowed to attack Athena and her children, whom many people recognized from their stories.

Athena was concerned about her daughter because she was planning to leave home, but due to ancient rules, Athena was unable to directly assist her child. But she had an idea: she could ask Naruto for help, but he was too young to fight monsters, even though he was blessed by two gods.

With a heavy sigh, Athena placed the photo on her table and walked to see her favourite son. Naruto was having a good time with his new weapons, fighting his grandfather all around him.

In the Battle Arena.

After doing some more practise with his new weapons, Naruto went to see his grandfather for training, and now both grandpa and his grandson were standing in the middle of the arena.

Without saying any words, Ares and Naruto fight with each other without saying anything. A 3-foot long sword and the Aegis appeared in Ares's hands. Ares was surprised when Naruto didn't react to the shield and, suddenly, a silver light glowed and a well-designed silver sword appeared in Naruto's hand.

"Nice sword, brat, but that won't save you from my beating," Ares told his grandson.

Naruto simply snorted and joked, "You will see the old man is going to kick your old ass."

Naruto stimulated parts of his brain, increasing his senses and processing speed. He hoped his increased senses and faster processing speed would help him keep up to speed with the god of battle. Ares slashed at Narutp's right, trying to analyze his battle style. Naruto reacted by using his left sword to block it and used the momentum from the turn to spin around and make a wide arc on his right side. Athena moved her shield arm to intercept his strike.

The force from the impact of Percy's sword on her shield was enough to make her slide back a few feet, and also hurt her arm pretty badly. Ares recovered quickly with a wide slash to Naruto's right, followed by a shield bash to his left. Naruto blocked the slash and turned it into a shield, causing Ares to stumble. Naruto used this and tried to hit Ares's shoulder with the flat of his blade. Ares threw his shield and moved a short distance away from Percy before he could move against him.

Both fighters exhaled, and Ares proudly stated, "You have developed your sword-handling skills well," before dropping his sword and adding, "How about we check your Ninjutsu?" said with a smirk.

Both of the fighters starting to make hand signs for their respective ninjutsu techniques. Fire style: The fire dragon, Ares, let out a big fire dragon from his mouth at Naruto and, to oppose that, Naruto made a water tornado wall and shouted. Water style: swirling water tornado wall. The water technique completely immobilized the fire dragon.

without having a break naruto made the hand sign and shout " lightning style: lightning Panther with that a panther made of lightning and it rushed toward Ares who was smirking and brought a battle fan his hand and said, "Uchiha shield" with that full-scale attack of panther stopped by that. Naruto just sucked in his breath after seeing this and looked at his grandfather, who was smirking at him.

"Not bad brat," said Ares with that rushed toward naruto with highspeed and his eyes morphed with EMS and punched naruto before naruto at his stomach. Naruto spits saliva from his mouth, regaining control of himself and morphing into his own Sharingan. Both men begin to fight, and if anyone witnesses this, they will only see a blur.

The fight continued until Naruto lost consciousness and both he and Ares appeared in a bad state. Both of their battle armour was in shambles.

Ares just smiled at his grandchild and thought about how much he liked Naruto as a grandson and as a young warrior. Ares changed a lot after the arrival of little Naruto and even tried to mingle with his family.

Suddenly, Athena's war cry was heard."Ares, how many times have I told you both not to train at an intense level?" Athena simply picked up the unconscious child next to her and gave Ares a stern glare, making Ares sweat, and he said, "Hey, don't blame me, the brat was the one who called me," and flashed away.

Athena simply shook her head, remembering how much Naruto and Ares enjoyed battling together. but unlike Ares naruto not like bloody war and he is more like his mother when it comes to war. Goddess of wisdom made her way to her temple with her unconscious son on her shoulder.
