FIRST UPDATE of 2022! Of any of my stories lol
AN1: I know its been a few months… Really trying to get these older fics updated… I KNOW THIS does not make up for how long this took to upload for this story or the lack of updates for any of my stories.
Yeah I know December well kinda sucked (for me)…. Was super busy and lazy. Will hopefully do better this year. Feel free to PM me! I will try to get some updates out but the weekly thing is definitely not going to work.
Well better late then never. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years! Please review!
READING THE FOX SCROLL was taken down on June 24/2021(Thursday). I added a link to its new home on my wattpadd. I used the original docs (hence the Ans) but the format is a bit different due to the different site.
Also the title is pretty obvious who the main characters are. If you want to read Naruto and Yugito first meeting please go to the spinoff story (which is canon to this series) "Hope of Sun and Moon Growing Up". It showed in chapter 2 how they met (I put scenes in there that wouldn't work in the main story but has relevance to Naruto's past)
Should I do another story for Book 2 and beyond? Or should I just put in the title 'Book 2: X' (the name)? As it could make it hard to keep track of all the chapters hut some people don't follow me as an author and lose track of the new book/story?
Book 2 will much quicker as Naruto might not be on the quest or he might make the quest way quicker (he can walk on water and is insanely powerful).
RETCON TIME
I realize that there was a small age continuity (as the spin off book establishes, she is 9 years older then Naruto- 14 when he is 5 while the previous chapter indicates she is 19). Since I don't redo chapters she is 19 while Naruto is almost 13. So 6 ish year different. She is a young adult but due to being a jinchuuriki and a Kunoichi she has a natural maturity that is above the rest of the teen Demigods.
Chapter 27 Two Tails and Nine Tails Meet again
Yugito hopped off the log and walked to Naruto with the same smile as Naruto still looked shocked at her being there.
"What are you doing here?" Naruto asked with wide eyes as Yugito gave a playful smirk making some of the boys blush while even some girls could not hold their envy of Yugito.
"Aw. You already tired of me already Naruto? I am abit hurt as one of the first time we met you crawled onto my lap and took a nap on it." Yugito teases with a dramatic sigh.
"What?!" Silena hissed as her blue eyes narrowed in anger while even Annabeth seemed a tad annoyed.
"Life is not fair…" An Ares boy said in envy.
Naruto's cheeks turned pink as he shook his head.
"I was only 5 back then! I was a child!" Naruto retorted as he was teased constantly by his Hunter sisters, he was very cuddly especially in his toddler years.
Yugito gave a small giggle into her hand as she winked at Naruto playfully.
"Aw. This is cute. To me you are still a child but I have got to say you have grown up quite abit since we last spoke." Yugito admitted as she looked at Naruto carefully.
"Um Naruto who is this… woman?" Silena asked with a strained smile as she resisted hissing at this notable beautiful and mature woman.
Drew grin almost split apart her face as she could easily sense her older sister's jealousy.
'Not that I blame her though. I mean that Blondie really is everything. I mean she is tall, busty and has a certain charm that even I don't think me or sis have yet.' Drew thought with amusement.
"Oh. Everyone this is Yugito Nii of the Hidden Cloud. She is a kunoichi from the Elemental Nations." Naruto introduced while Yugito gave a polite but notably bored wave.
"Hello Campers of Camp Half Blood. Pleasure to meet Naruto's friends and extended family." Yugito said as she had a small smile that still left many male campers breathless.
Meanwhile on Olympus
"What you mean that beauty of a girl who is NOT my daughter is a Ninja as well?" Aphrodite screeched in surprised. To her she would've claimed her as a child of her own due to her sheer good looks if she was not 100% sure she was not her child.
"Is she one of yours? She does have the blonde look going on?" Poseidon suggested with a small smirk as Athena eyes narrowed.
"No Kelp Head. She is not one of my daughters. Did you forget only Artemis and Apollo have gone to that world and had a single child." Athena said coolly although she silently with fuming. Yugito Nii appeared to be an ideal daughter in her own opinion.
Hermes, Ares and even Hephaestus were whistling in appreciation of the girl's natural beauty and even her cool attitude was considered a rather attractive skill.
"Care to explain this? As far as I was aware only Apollo and Artemis can bring people over from the Elemental Nations." Athena asked as she gave Artemis and Apollo sharp looks.
Artemis and Apollo shared a quick look before Apollo nodded.
"Yugito Nii is the current Two-Tails Jinchuuiki and we brought her here." Artemis confirmed as everyone was on edge as even Poseidon grasped his Trident with a stern look. AN2:
"I am sure you are aware that Jinchuuiki can tip the scale especially compared to Demigods. I am surprised my brother has not ordered you to return her instantly." Poseidon noted as everyone turned to Zeus who sighed.
"Of course, my children told me when they brought her over and I agreed. Yugito Nii shall be under the custody of Artemis and Apollo and will be allowed to travel with Naruto Uzumaki." Zeus revealed as the twins nodded.
"As long as she is only a guest under Artemis supervision similar to her Hunters and is not given the possibility of immortality like the Hunters I can accept her presence." Zeus added with a small frown at Artemis who resisted rolling her eyes.
"I am well aware Father and have already given my word that Yugito Nii will not be offered the pledge to myself as a Hunter." Artemis said dutifully with a slight sigh.
Poseidon and the other members could barely resist rolling their eyes as it was fairly blatant although Zeus claimed to trust Artemis he would not accept the possibility of a jinchuuriki of gaining partial immortality without his direct say so.
'Although I can understand why. Jinchuuriki are suppose to be mortal so the tailed beast can not be held by one person forever. Same as him after all.' Poseidon noted as despite Naruto's loyalty to his parents he knew Zeus would not accept him gaining the eternal life of a Hunter. AN3:
"However, like their children her actions will be reflected onto Artemis and Apollo and anything she does that is out of line will be their responsibility." Zeus said sternly as they both bowed.
"Of course, father. We are aware." The twins repeated as the tension faded when Poseidon laughed.
"Well not that's settled I suppose I can sleep easier if the Two-Tails is with Naruto." Poseidon said with a chuckle.
Athena raised an eyebrow.
"Why are you so calm about this? We cannot be sure that the Two-Tails is loyal to Olympus or not." Athena noted as Poseidon shrugged.
"I like their child and if their judgement says she will not harm us or our children then you shall hear not complaints from me." Poseidon said easily.
"Well, I suppose if father and uncle are fine with that girl coming here, I suppose we should be." Hephaestus gruffly said as Hermes and Ares nodded.
Ares resisted his natural urge to fight the beautiful blonde if not try to seduce her as he knew it would definitely gain his father ire especially from his actions in almost causing World War 3.
Demeter shrugged her shoulders.
"She is not my child so matter little if she stays in our world or not. Dionysus after all will be one in charge of her while she stays at Camp Half Blood." Demeter remarked as everyone eyes widened.
"I suppose with both Chiron and Dionysus at camp she shouldn't be an issue." Hermes noted as they looked at the Wine God empty seat.
"Yugito Nii shall be an interesting case. I suppose if Naruto can trust her, I see no reason why we should interfere." Hera said with a small smile.
Several of Zeus's children gave Hera a weird look especially when she said Naruto her eyes seemed to brighten slightly.
'That woman better not forget whose child is down there.' Artemis thought furiously as she was still not happy with the idea of her children being tied down to Hera as her champion.
"Hermes. You made sure to hide Naruto's involvement with Ares, correct?" Apollo said sharply. His normal cheerful blue eyes were narrowed making everyone shudder besides Poseidon, Zeus and Artemis.
Artemis was quick to note when it came to their son some of Minato's battle instincts bleed through.
"Hehe don't worry about it bro. D and I already set it up with Chiron and Percy Jackson was credited with Ares defeat." Hermes assured his older brother with a nervous chuckle.
"Tch. That brat would have died 5 times over if Uzumaki had not interfered." Ares scoffed ignoring the frown from his uncle.
Poseidon sighed as much as he wanted Percy to get recognition he also knew 'defeating Ares' would make him more a target in the future.
"Well, that matter was settled." Zeus decreed as Hera rolled her eyes.
'Yeah you definitely did not roll on your stomach when your favorite daughter and son demanded Naruto 'officially' was only at Camp Half blood.' Hera thought with amusement.
The council had decided that it would open too many cans of worms if Naruto involvement in the quest was known so Hermes had subtly spread rumours that Percy Jackson was the one to defeat Ares. Being a son of the Big Three the rumour was easily believed.
Back at Camp Half Blood
Everyone glanced at the sky much to Yugito amusement as if they expected the Gods to be angry.
"Oh don't worry about it. Lady Artemis and Lord Apollo already cleared it with Lord Zeus so my arrival will not cause any problems." Yugito said with a wave of her hand.
"She's right. Father was fully aware of the situation and has approved her being a ward of Artemis and Apollo." Dionysus said gruffly as Chiron nodded.
Yugito turned back to the still shocked Naruto and gave him a wide grin.
"So Naruto have your skills improved? You haven't gotten stale while being your parents, have you?" Yugito teased as her lips turned into a playful smirk making several boys shudder at the sight.
Naruto eyes narrowed as he glared up at the taller blonde.
"Excuse me? I will have you know I am definitely being keeping up with my training." Naruto retorted as Yugito raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? This looks like a kiddy camp rather then any serious kind of training area." Yugito pointed out with a slight dismissive tone making several campers particularly Athena and Ares kids to hiss and glare at the older blonde for the slight against their home.
'Ok she is getting a curse! I just to ask an Apollo kid for help or maybe Lou Ellen can help?' Annabeth thought viciously as her eyes narrowed. In her mind nobody could disrespect Camp Half Blood in front of her.
A certain Goddess of Love smirked as Athena narrowed her eyes.
"Is something the matter Sea Foam?" Athena asked coldly while Aphrodite just smirked.
"Oh? Nothing. Just enjoying how our young can deny what's right in front of them. Its half the fun of finding love after all." Aphrodite claimed as she winked at Artemis and Athena making them hiss.
'So easy. Athena's brat… What's her name again? Annabell? Right Annabeth. She will turn into a looker a few years along the line and her jealously of the Nibi Jinchuuriki is absolutely delicious.' Aphrodite thought happily as a glare from Zeus prevented the Virgin Goddesses from storming her throne in anger.
Aphrodite gently blew on her perfect pink nails as if to dry them as she watched the camp with a smile.
'Almost as delicious as my own daughter. My dear Silena is trying to put her stake into the blonde superstar and I approve. However not even my own daughter will have an easy time when it comes to little Naruto.' Aphrodite noted as Goddess of Love she can have a general idea on an 'ideal' match for mortals AN4: but Naruto Uzumaki was rather special.
'Hmm. Quite a mystery. Even if he was born from Artemis, he should still have one ideal match but I cannot pinpoint it down. Perhaps his ideal match is many?' Aphrodite noted thoughtfully.
"Well, Yugito. How about I show you my skills here and now?" Naruto challenged as his eyes sparkled in excitement as Yugito grin grew.
"Let's go Naruto. Maybe something besides your hair and eyes have changed since the last time we trained together?" Yugito teased as she laughed softy at Naruto slight red face.
'Hmph! I know its been a few years but somehow Yugito has become far more annoying!' Naruto thought annoyed not realizing part of the problem was his hormones was trying to 'act' in front of the much more mature Yugito Nii.
Chiron turned to Mr. D who looked thoughtful before nodding.
"Fine. You brats can have your fight but don't come crying to me if you lose a hand or two." Mr. D stated with a bored expression.
Dionysus snapped his finger as a poof of cloud appeared around the camp. A few moments later the campers were now seated in something resembling a coliseum with them sitting in massive stands while Yugito and Naruto stood in a massive area filled with trees and open area. It also had a lake in the distance.
Annabeth was seated next to Silena which neither noticing that they were staring at Naruto intently.
Clarisse was a few seats away grinning at the fight.
'Finally, we shall see what these so-called Ninja's can do.' Clarisse thought savagely.
"Listen up brats! This entire area is surrounded with a massive barrier to contain any stray attacks. The lake and trees are not full of life as I do not want anyone to complain if they are damaged!" Dionysus declared loudly as everyone started to clap.
"I don't want your parents crying about you being incinerated from a stray attack from two jinchuuirki." Mr. D grumbled making Chiron smile slightly.
Yugito and Naruto blinked before they turned to Dionysius and bowed.
"Thank you, Lord Dionysus, for your generosity." Yugito and Naruto chanted respectfully.
Mr. D blinked before a hint of smile appeared before his bored expression reappeared.
"Go Naruto!" Percy cheered as he was sorted to the back with Luke next to him with a smile.
However, Luke eyes were seething with hatred.
"Dammit it all! Those cheers and attention! To that cursed freak and that wannabe who doesn't even have Godly blood in her!' Luke thought angrily as this attention he believed was being squandered on the few instead of the many for Demigods in general.
"You ready Naruto to give them a show?" Yugito teased as Naruto sent her a grin.
"Well as my elder Ninja you better not cry when I surprise you." Naruto retorted as Yugito eyes glittered with excitement.
"Begin!" Mr. D shouted as he put his hand down.
Yugito and Naruto instantly rushed towards each other and before else could react there was a kunai in Naruto left hand and Yugito right hand as they clashed.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The two blades sang as they clashed before Naruto and Yugito were locked in a contest of strength as sparks appeared from the two blades pushing against each other.
"Amazing. That was not any form of magic. Those knives appeared in their hands using their own hand speed." Lou Ellen informed as being a daughter of Hecate she could detect when magic was used or enchanted like when Riptide changed forms from pen to sword.
"Not bad Naruto but did you forget?" Yugito asked as her grin turned to a smirk.
Naruto eyes widened when Yugito left hand pointed at him and suddenly her nails expanded at rapid rate as Naruto ducked before flipping away as she swung her hand downwards as her nails followed as if a sword.
"What is that?!" Annabeth shouted in amazement as Yugito chased after Naruto.
Naruto silver sword appeared in his right hand as he used both blades to counter Yugito swings with her extended nails and kunai.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!" The weapons sang as Naruto and Yugito hands appeared to be nothing but blurs much to the amazement of the camp as rapid sparks appeared from the clashing.
"Her nails are keeping up with Naruto's sword!" Kate Gardner noted as Yugito nails appeared to clash evenly with Naruto's own sword.
This continued on for a few minutes as both Naruto and Yugito had perfect counters for each of the other amazing swordmanship. However eventually one of them would have to give.
Naruto narrowly avoided one of Yugito's nails from slashing his face by tilting his head but he was not prepared for the kick from the much taller woman.
"Oomph!" Naruto yelped as he was sent flying from the power of the kick to his unguarded stomach.
Naruto recovered in midair before he landed gracefully but put a hand on his stomach in pain.
"Ow. I forgot how powerful Yugito is in close combat." Naruto mumbled as Yugito looked rather impressed.
"Oh Naruto." Kurama grumbled as Naruto winced.
"What Kurama?" Naruto mumbled.
"In close combat you are at a disadvantage as Yugito has longer range and despite how much better you are then these kiddies she is still better Swordman then you are in your base state." Kurama noted as he rested his head on his hand.
"I know those nails are can be retracted and retracted so quickly they mess up the flow of my Kenjutsu." Naruto admitted. AN5:
"Colour me impressed besides Master Bee and Lord Raikage nobody else in Kumo can stand a chance against me in close combat." Yugito whistled.
"Bee? Raikage?" One of Naruto's Apollo siblings asked in confusion.
"But how is your Ninjutsu?" Yugito asked as she took a breath. She leapt high into the air and aimed at Naruto.
"This chakra! Its!" Naruto shouted as he quickly did hand signs.
"Fire Style: Blue Fire Ball Jutsu!" Yugito thought as she opened her mouth a massive fire ball shot out of her mouth and expanded being several times bigger than her frame.
"My Gods! That is super big!" Somebody from Hermes cabin shouted possibly Connor while everyone instinctively inched away.
"Bro I think that is way huger than any of our siblings born with Fire power can do." Nyssa mumbled to her older brother Charles.
"So, this is the power of ninjas." Charles mumbled with fear.
"Naruto!" Silena and Annabeth shouted with fear.
"In that case. Earth Style: Giant Mud Wall Jutsu!" Naruto shouted as he placed both his hands on the ground.
Instantly a massive wall of Earth appeared out of the ground in a shield in front of him. The brown shield was several dozens of feet wide and dozens of feet tall as the massive Blue Fire crashed into the Brown shield.
There was a clash of wills between the two jinchuuriki as the fire tried to overcome the Earth but failed to. However, despite the Fireball failing to breach the shield the fire created a heatwave which spread across the camp and arena area.
Instantly everyone started to sweat from the heat as everyone tried to fan themselves out.
"That fire must be insanely hot for us to feel it from all the way here." Annabeth noted as she frowned.
"Must mean it is much hotter for Naruto down there taking the blunt of it." Silena added nervously.
Naruto meanwhile was using a small amount of Wind chakra around himself to keep him from sweating although he was wincing from the effort.
With the Gods
"Blue fire?" Hephaestus grumbled although with a hint of annoyance.
Everyone turned to the twin archers who sighed.
"As far as we can tell it's a special trait exclusive to Two-Tails Jinchuuriki. Neither Minato nor Kushina encountered any other ninjas being to produce blue fire regardless of users." Artemis said flatly intentionally using her mortal name to keep a distance between her and 'that woman'.
"I see. So, they can control elements to such a degree using this 'chakra' inside of themselves and based on your statements its not genetic like our children's domains." Athena noted with a twinkle in her eyes.
"That's right. Most adults in the ninja war can at least do two of the 5 main Elemental Chakra natures. One is usually an affinity from birth and others can be learned through practice." Apollo added with a serious expression as he watched his son battle his fellow Jinchuuriki.
"As this seriously still just a practice fight?" Demeter asked with a frown as it seemed rather intense in her opinion.
"They are not using Tailed Beast chakra at the moment so it is not serious." Artemis claimed although she was gripping her throne rather hard.
"If it comes to the point where they think using their tailed beast chakra is okay, I expect you to stop the match." Zeus asked firmly as Artemis and Apollo nodded.
"Are all ninjas as strong as them?" Poseidon asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No. Yugito and Naruto are exceptionally strong even by most Ninja standards." Apollo assured his uncle who nodded.
Back at camp
After a few seconds of intense heat the fire finally dissappated as Naruto let out a sigh of relief.
Naruto heard whistling and felt some warmth from fire as he back flipped avoiding one blue 'mice' from each side of his Earth Wall. The mice had ran around the wall and rushed towards Naruto and exploded which Naruto avoided with his back flip.
"Damn. Its Yugito's Mouse Hairball." Naruto noted as he looked up at Yugito who stood on top of a taller tree with dozens of her 'mice' ready.
Each mouse was blue like her Blue fire and on fire as they stood on multiple trees. Yugito smirked before she tilted her head.
Naruto instantly started to leap from tree to tree as several mice ran towards him. He avoided them by leaping to another tree just as they were about to bite him forcing them to detonate. Naruto jumped and pivoted as he show several silver arrows from his bow that appeared to have been summoned to his arm.
He managed to hit several of them in the neck with his pin point accuracy but soon dozens more mice chased after him forcing him to leap away.
"These blue rats or mice or whatever are chasing Naruto and detonating on contact. So she can control them from a distance." Annabeth noted critically.
"Plus, she can summon so many running away is not a good strategy." Silena said biting her lip.
"Tch. Its really annoying as Uzumaki is wasting all his time dodging while she can continue to sit there and aim those fire rats." Clarisse grumbled although a hint of respect could be heard about the older blonde.
"Okay that's it! Water Style: Severing Wave!" Naruto shouted as he waved signs before he turned around. AN6:
Naruto shot out from his mouth a massive stream of water which he controlled by moving his head. He sliced through many of the Blue mice and even cut through a couple of trees but he was forced to cancel the jutsu when several of the mice that avoided the wave swarmed him and he jumped away.
"Water Style: Great Waterfall Jutsu." Naruto shouted as he waved different signs.
He opened his mouth again but this time a MASSIVE amount of water shot from his mouth in a form of a giant wave that spiralled. This wave was so big it shot through all the remaining blue mice and tore through trees and ground in its path of destruction.
Yugito made a sign and disappeared in a Body Flicker a great distance away before the wave could hit her.
The waterfall continued its path of destruction for a bit before it settled calmed down leaving a giant trail of water and destruction.
"Oh my god. Its just like a natural hurricane." Travis said with his jaw dropped which was matched by most of the camp.
"Hmm. This reminds me when Uncle is having a spat or a bad day." Mr. D snorted with a hint of amusement.
Naruto met Yugito as he ran up to her with high-speed dash as they started a high-speed round of Taijutsu.
This hand-to-hand combat made the wrestling done with the Ares cabin look like a joke in comparison.
It resembled more an elegance dance of punches, kicks and blocks that seemed to continue seamlessly. The two ninjas seemed just as comfortable using their hands and feet as most Demigods were at their ideal weapon. This continued for a few minutes before Naruto was forced to jump back when she transformed her nails into her sharp extendable nails again.
"Naruto are you ready?" Kurama said from inside the seal as he had in a lotus position with his hands clapped together.
Naruto nodded before he smirked at the amused Yugito.
"Its about time for my counterattack." Naruto announced as he closed his eyes and took a breath.
Yugito took the instant to dash towards Naruto with her claws out but to her surprise he sidestepped her attack with ease as his eyes were closed.
"What?" Yugito said in surprise before she gasped when Naruto opened his eyes. Instead of his blue with silvery light eyes his eyes were now yellow with toad like pupils and orange pigmentation around his eyes.
"This is Pan's power?!" Grover shouted as him and every Satyr and nature spirit instantly drew in closer towards Naruto despite the barrier.
"Sage Mode complete." Naruto whispered as he walked towards Yugito who begin a fierce barrage of swipes and thrusts with both of her hands in claw form. AN7:
Much to hers and the campers surprise Naruto effortlessly dodged and parried every attack with seemingly not effort and a calm expression on his face. This continued on with Yugito no longer being able to get any ground against Naruto.
'His reaction time is way better now. He is almost predicting my attacks before I can make them!' Yugito though as Naruto swatted her wrists away with one hand and stepped forward inside of her guard.
'Gotta dodge!' Yugito thought as she narrowly tilted her head from Naruto's fist.
There appeared to be a second delay as Naruto's first missed her face before Yugito eyes widened in shock. Yugito's cheek appeared to cave into itself as if she was punched as she cried out in pain.
Yugito was then sent flying through several trees crashing through them before she was launched into the ground several meters away. Her cheek had a streak of blood as Yugito also spat out some blood as Naruto calmly walked towards her.
'That wasn't wind release or anything. Its almost like something bent out of his fist to hit me and send me flying.' Yugito though as she used her wrist to wipe the blood away.
'Its nature itself helping Naruto-kun. My creator The Sage of Six Paths mastered Senjutsu where he melded it with his Rinnegan powers to become a legend. Naruto-kun seems to have mastered a form of Senjutsu that allows him to use the invisible power of nature to expand the range and power of his punches.' Matatabi purred from inside her seal.
"So, I guess close combat is no longer great against you huh?" Yugito joked as Naruto gave out a chuckle.
"You are powerful no doubt Yugito but I am not a pushover." Naruto told her as he leaned back to get back into a stance.
"Well then. Shall we take off the kiddie gloves?" Yugito asked licking her lips as Naruto sent her a grin.
Yugito and Naruto eyes started to turn red and Naruto eye started to have a slit that intersected with the cross from Sage Mode.
All the sudden there was a flash of light as the barrier shattered and Artemis and Apollo appeared in their 18-year forms.
"That is enough." Artemis declared as Yugito and Naruto aura disappeared but Naruto remained in Sage Mode.
"Lady Artemis. Lord Apollo." The camp chanted as everyone got onto their knees and bowed.
Yugito did a quick bow as Artemis gave her a nod of approval but Naruto just pouted before his head was pat by his father.
"One hella a fight my boy. Gotta say you made us rather shocked. Hermes was frothing at the mouth of using Sage Mode till I explained it was unrelated to Pan's Domain." Apollo whispered as Naruto gave a sheepish smile.
"Hehe. Anyway, Yugito that was one heck of a fight." Naruto told his fellow Jinchuuriki cheerfully who smiled warmly back.
This made certain girls (cough Annabeth cough Silena) rather annoyed while most of the boys were crying at Yugito warm smile for the popular son of the Twin Archers.
"It sure was Naruto. Here is your reward." Yugito said sweetly and before anyone could react she walked over to Naruto and leaned down to Naruto's level with her lips at Naruto's face level.
"You have grown my little hero." Yugito teased before she left a quick but warm kiss on Naruto left cheek for a few seconds. It was coincidentally the opposite cheek Zoe kissed him on when he left the hunt.
Everyone jaw dropped especially when there was a faint but notable red mark from Yugito light slip stick now on Naruto's cheek.
Naruto sputtered before his face turned completely red. Much to everyone surprise Naruto's blonde hair had now turned the same shade of red as his tips were so it was not essentially spikey version of his mothers and his Golden eyes from Sage Mode had turned into the same silver as his mother.
He essentially turned into a male version of his mother with red cheeks as his hormones drove him insane from the sweet contact with the very attractive blonde who was not related to him.
"Huh that's interesting. Perhaps its hormones or just embarrassment that he temporally took on Artemis traits more then mine." Apollo suggested before he gulped when he saw Artemis eyes turn deadly shade of silver.
"Oh boy." Apollo mumbled as he quickly grabbed Artemis shoulder to prevent her from strangling the confused blonde Kumo Ninja.
"Lady Artemis are you okay? You look rather flustered?" Yugito asked in confusion as Artemis eyes flickered as she tried to keep herself from vaporizing or at least attempting to vaporize the Blonde for 'defiling her baby'.
Annabeth was frowning and was wondering why she was feeling annoyed while Drew was grinning madly at Silena gripping her fist in anger.
After a few seconds Naruto appearance returned to normal Sage Mode before he turned his head.
"Dammit we were careless." Naruto hissed as he summoned his bow.
"What's wrong Naruto?" Artemis asked in worry.
"Percy." Naruto said simply as he took aim and shot a silver arrow into the distance.
The silverly arrow was more a beam of moonlight then anything as it soared through the air avoiding the trees and gliding towards its destination with pin point accuracy.
Luke had Percy cornered with a scorpion crawling up his arm. Luke had managed to convince Percy to come with him into the wood during the last part of Naruto fight with Yugito. He claimed he had something important and Percy had trusted the older camper implicitly.
Only to find out Luke was the Lightning Thief and a traitor intending to help give rise to the Titans and destroy everything the Gods created.
"Goodbye Percy. Sadly, the Titan Lord has no use for a gamble like you." Luke said cruelly as the scorpion leapt at Percy who had summoned Riptide in sword form.
Luckly for Percy who was going to get stung a silver arrow soared past his ear and shot the scorpion in midair making it hiss and dissolve instantly.
"What the hell?" Luke shouted in surprise as he looked around.
Only his deserved reputation as the best swordman in the last 300 years saved him as several arrows pelted him which he deflected with Backbiter the half steel/half Celestial Bronze sword.
"You." Luke hissed in anger as Naruto leapt down from his tree with his eyes now blue with silver showing he was no longer in Sage Mode.
"Percy you alright?" Naruto asked Percy who let a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, thanks man. You saved me again." Percy said gratefully as Naruto nodded.
"Now. What the hell are you doing Luke?" Naruto asked coldly as his bow disappeared to be replaced with a silver sword as he pointed at Luke.
"Naruto! He is with the Titans and trying to bring down Olympus." Percy told him urgently as Naruto eyes barrowed.
"I see. So, you were the one responsible for everything that happened this year." Naruto said in disappointment making Luke hiss in anger.
"YOU are part of the reason the Gods need to be destroyed. Most of us Demigods cannot even get 2 minutes of our parent's time while you have TWO Gods who love and care for you all the time! The ultimate sins! Your parents are what is wrong with the Gods! The biggest hypocrites if I ever saw one.!" Luke declared in hatred.
"Naruto…" Percy said in worry as he watched Naruto clench his fist.
"So, you really will betray Olympus no matter what. I guess I have no choice." Naruto said with a hint of regret before he dashed forward.
Despite Luke own skill and weapon, he quickly was forced on the defensive from Naruto unusual but precise style. Luke was forced to back up several times as Naruto left him no openings.
Soon Naruto batted away his sword as he pointed his own sword at Luke's throat.
"Its over. I am bringing you back to face justice." Naruto told him coldly as Luke gave him a demented style.
"There is no justice with the Gods in charge." Luke declared as Naruto swung his sword at Luke's legs.
He intended to slash just enough to disable him and prevent him from running away.
All the sudden Luke, Naruto and Percy felt a powerful shudder in the air as time itself seemed to slow down. Naruto suddenly felt slightly sluggish as he struggled to slice Luke's legs.
Luke grinned before he took the opportunity to jump away swinging Backbiter making a black ripple in the air. He walked through the ripple and vanished into the air.
Naruto growled as his sword vanished in a puff of smoke.
"Dammit he got away." Naruto said in annoyance.
"Naruto what was that just now? It felt like all happiness was taken away instantly." Percy asked with a shudder.
Naruto turned to him with a grim expression.
"I believe your grandfather exerted his influence and made me weakened for a moment so his puppet could escape." Naruto informed him making Percy frown.
"Anyways Percy, I hope you enjoy your time with your mother this year." Naruto told him as they walked out of the forest.
"How did you know?" Percy asked curiously.
"Because mothers quiet frankly are the best." Naruto said simply as he split off with Percy to go to Thalia tree.
He made sure to tell the daughter of Zeus about his reunion with Yugito (although he was confused when she glared at him during his accidental kiss) and telling her about Luke being a traitor. He held her as she cried and promised he would return next year.
After saying his goodbyes with Silena biting her lip but giving him the briefest peck on the cheek making him blush as he missed Silena red face when she ran back.
He didn't see his father hold back his mother or Zoe frowning before she grabbed his hand as he walked back to his family with the hunt.
