*This story will probably be continued someday after I study the Wonder Woman comics in more detail. It was generally well received though I really got heckled on some of the details of Naruto's abilities. They will all be hammered out if I repost it.

Enjoy!

Naruto and the Godkiller

Blanket disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Wonder Woman

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

This story is an experimental one-shot. If it goes over I may continue it. It includes MOVIE SPOILERS. This idea has been in the back of my mind for a long time but I wasn't sure how to go about it. Anyway, I saw the new Wonder Woman movie (It's not too bad for being a super hero movie and all) and I decided to base it in that version of Wonder Woman beginning in World War One. I intend to play a bit with the Greek Gods (As far as the movie was concerned they are all considered dead except Ares). This starts a few months after the Armistice of World War One in Britain. Naruto occurs in chapter 697 during Naruto and Sasuke's rematch at the battle of the end. After that it is AU for both stories. Here is chapter 1. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

Portsmouth, England January 4th 1919

'The Godkiller sword….I found out when I fought Ares that the blade I was carrying was not the Godkiller….I am the Godkiller. It is not a title I wished to have but in the end I prevailed against Ares….Was it enough?'

….

Ships sailed by near the shore outside Diana Prince's window at Portsmouth as she awoke from yet another dream. The Royal Navy was home….and the War to end all Wars was over. She; Diana, Princess of Themyscira; Daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus had defeated the evil God of War Ares and ended the war. It was a hollow victory though. The man she cared for; Steven Trevor gave his life to help end the war. The raven haired beauty was learning about 'Man's World' and all of the good and evil that existed in it. 'That is the root of the problem. For all the light in the hearts of men there is a shadow of darkness. Ares took advantage of this.' She sighed softly. "Somewhere deep in my bones I have to wonder if Ares is truly dead…."

Looking over a map of Europe Diana was considering traveling to Greece where the Gods she was raised to worship had temples erected in their honor. Of course, Europe was currently a mess so travelling there alone would be no easy task….The biggest event going on right now was the Paris Peace Conference. Since the Germans signed the Armistice back in November it seemed as if time dragged endlessly to Diana. "Can't these men just make peace?" she thought aloud. "Ares is to blame for all of this. Laying down their arms and going home to their families should be enough. I just don't understand the world of men yet. They even fight over notfighting…."

'Going to Greece by ship from Britain seems to be the best idea.' thought Diana to herself. 'With all of the sea traffic of soldiers going home it should be simple enough. Travelling across the continent in its war ravaged state would difficult at best.'

Soon Diana managed to book a trip to the Mediterranean from Portsmouth; around Spain and Portugal, through the Strait of Gibraltar on to Sicily and finally on to Greece. It would be a long journey by sea….

….

The Valley of the End

Sasuke absorbed the last he could of Naruto's chakra. He was beaten and bloodied beyond the point of exhaustion. "This is one of the rinnegan's abilities….For me, who has combined it together with the Uchiha's….My Clan's Eye….Victory is certain." panted out Sasuke as Naruto collapsed. 'And now….with this I will finally be able to be alone.' thought the Uchiha.

Sasuke looked down at Naruto and said as he formed a lightning blade, "Farewell….My one and only….FRIEND!"

Naruto glared defiantly and hit Sasuke with and uppercut to the jaw that sent the Uchiha flying.

Sasuke yelled from his downed position, "Just give me a fucking break already!"

"I can't….because that is who I am." replied Naruto.

The two opponents prepared one final, desperate attack on each other. Sasuke to kill and Naruto to save….

….

A rip in the very fabric of the air tore open and tore the battlefield asunder as a lightning bolt plowed through it. A man(?) in distorted and melted metal armor came flying through the rift. He had a hole in his torso big enough to put a fist through. The being crashed into Sasuke's already battered form and Naruto stared in shock.

For a moment the person held his hand on Sasuke's forehead as if to read the Uchiha's mind. Then the armored person's mouth opened and he roared in uneven but thunderous voice, "Yes Sasuke; you know the darkness of mankind! You are a God like me!"

Sasuke struggled and rolled the armored man off of him. "Who the hell are you?" asked Sasuke.

The armored man clasped Sasuke's hand in his own and said, "I am Ares, God of Truth! I will show you Sasuke…." Suddenly electricity coursed from the wounded Greek God into Sasuke who started screaming in agony….

Naruto tried to intervene but was terribly electrocuted and cried out as well. Images of mankind's history leading from their creation by the Grecian Gods all the way up to the War to End all Wars between 1914 and 1918 on Earth shot through Naruto's brain as did languages and otherworldly knowledge of the darkness that lies in the hearts of every human being….and how Ares wanted to destroy them all….

The blonde came out of his daze and didn't recognize the place they were in other than it was some sort of huge battlefield. He saw the weakened Sasuke helping the crippled Ares up. "I understand now." said Sasuke. "It's all so clear to me. This world will be a paradise once these humans are eradicated. You've opened my eyes! You are the God of truth Ares."

Ares chuckled weakly and said, "We are Gods Sasuke. The power you have you were meant to wield. Come and I will show you the way…."

Naruto called out desperately, "Sasuke, he's a God of War; not Truth! Don't listen to him; listen to me!"

Ares turned his head and looked back over his shoulder. "You are a God as well Naruto. Will you not join me in friendship…?" He held out his hand at Naruto. The blonde's glare of defiance told Ares all he needed to know. Ares shook his head and levitated the remnants of a British tank above him before sending it crashing down upon the whiskered blonde. Ares said, "Pity he had to die."

Sasuke stared at the crushed tank and said, "Goodbye Uzumaki Naruto….my friend."

….

Rheims, France February 6th, 1919

Naruto groggily awoke to the sounds of people speaking French in a hospital. "He was found crushed under a tank for god's sakes! He's wrapped like a mummy and kept alive by tube feeding. There have been no signs of him waking up at all in the past several weeks." said a male voice. "We should be taking care of those we can actually save, not this living corpse!"

Several voices gasped and another male voice said, "Who are you to judge Doctor? If Administrator Lucas wants us to care for this poor soul then we will without question!"

The blonde couldn't comprehend why he understood French or why he even knew what the French language was. 'What's tube feeding? Why can't I seem to move?' thought Naruto. He opened his eyes and saw light through the gauze wrapped around his head. 'Am I blindfolded? Why am I- SOMETHING IS STUCK IN MY THROAT!' Naruto's gag reflex kicked in and he started choking brutally. Not knowing he had a feeding tube in his throat; all the panicking blonde could think to do was sit up and wrench the intruding rubber tube out of his gut. The body caste practically exploded when Naruto sat up so violently. His splints on his arms and legs shattered into pieces as his screaming body awoke like a live wire.

Naruto yanked the tube out and said hoarsely, {"What in the fucking hell was that thing?"} in Japanese. Naruto threw it across the room. He coughed and gagged a bit before his chest finally felt under control again. The blonde breathed heavily for a few moments before he reached up and tore the bandages off of his eyes. The whiskered blonde suddenly squinted at the bright light. He saw a number of doctors and nurses staring at him in shock and disbelief. Naruto willed himself to calm down and said in a raspy voice in French, "Water…."

One of the nurses snapped out of her stupor and poured a glass of for Naruto who quickly drank it greedily. After drinking the entire contents of the pitcher he grinned at the nurse and said, "Thank you! I needed that."

She looked slightly dumbfounded at the whiskered blonde and said, "Ummm….You are welcome young sir. Could I ask your name please?"

His stomach let out a colossal roar and he scratched the back of his neck nervously. "Call me Naruto. Do you all have something to eat around here? I'm really hungry."

….

Athens, Greece, Temple of Olympian Zeus

Diana was alone at the ancient site that her own Father Zeus once had a great temple built in his honor at. She prayed for guidance where she sensed the great statue of her Father must have been at one time. A vision of the greatest of the Olympians appeared before her and she gasped and bowed her head in obeisance. The image said, "Diana my child, you have done well in defeating Ares but as you suspect he is alive. The God of War is not so easily destroyed. He knows that battling you head on is unwise and will lick his wounds for some time."

"How shall I hunt him down my Lord?" asked Diana confused. "His presence is hidden from me."

Zeus contemplated for a moment and said, "You must gather allies. I've sent Hermes on a mission to find a rather odd young God to help you. Ares tried to recruit this God just before he vanished."

"What happened to this young God?" asked the raven haired beauty.

"The youth refused Ares' invitation and the God of War tried to kill the youngster by crushing him to death. He left the young God for dead." explained the Father of the Gods. "It seems that Ares failed in his objective."

Diana frowned. "Then where can I find this God to help me?"

Zeus chuckled. "Patience my child. Leave that detail to Hermes. He is clever and cunning. Should this young God prove hostile Hermes will deal with him. If not then your fleet footed brother will arrange for you to meet him."

….

Rheims, France, Military Hospital

Naruto had eaten enough to fill ten men as his metabolism turned everything back into lean muscle. He was ready to leave the hospital within a week of waking up. 'So what do you think Kurama? As crazy as it sounds I think that Ares guy pulled us through and into another dimension like Kaguya could. Nothing here is remotely even familiar. I still can't figure out why I can understand these people's language.'

The ancient fox's tails flicked back and forth as he thought. 'I can sense massive amounts of natural energy in the air here. The chakra of all these people is….stunted. I don't know how else to describe it. If we aren't in another dimension we are least on a faraway continent from the Elemental Nations.' Kurama sighed. 'I have a feeling all this extra knowledge you've acquired is because of that electric shock from Ares. He was 'teaching' Sasuke and we got caught in the backlash.'

'Sasuke is gone isn't he…?' asked Naruto.

'I think it's safe to say he joined Ares.' growled Kurama. 'Heads up. We have company.'

A gorgeous woman came in and said in Ancient Greek, {"Hello Naruto dear; I've been looking all over for you."}

Naruto answered {"I don't know who you are pal but you can drop the illusion. I can smell you are a man even if I can't dispel that image that you are a woman."}

The 'woman' laughed. Then she said, {"You really are a God Naruto. I am Hermes, the messenger of the Gods of Olympus. I understand you ran afoul of that rogue Ares."}

The blonde frowned and got ready to form a rasengan. {"So you are a friend of Ares?"}

{"Ares is my half brother."} said Hermes. {"He also tried to kill me before he was expelled from Olympus so I consider him an enemy at best. I'm sure you understand."}

{"He wants to destroy all of mankind…."} said Naruto darkly.

Hermes nodded grimly. {"Let's get you out of this hospital…."}

….

Marne River, France

The next morning Naruto was riding in a car for the first time and felt a bit nervous as Hermes sped merrily along. The Greek God had shown up that morning in a military uniform claiming he was Captain Naruto Uzumiki's commanding officer, Major St. John of the American Expeditionary Force and proceeded to lie and wheedle the hospital staff into handing over Naruto with no questions asked. Hermes also had some U.S. Army military clothing for Naruto that that the whiskered blonde managed to slide into without too much difficulty. Where he got the Mercedes was a mystery to Naruto….

The entire area near the Marne River was crisscrossed with trenches and it would take decades for the land to recover. "It's been this way since 1914 when the First Battle of the Marne took place." said Hermes as he motioned about. "152,000 men of French, German and British descent laid down their lives in less than a week during that battle. This is why Ares has to be stopped somehow. This little road we're traveling along was only cleared in the last couple of months while you were napping."

"Okay, so why do you keep referring to me as a God?" asked the confused Naruto.

"It's quite simple my friend." said Hermes. "My brother Apollo is a bit of an oracle you see. He foresaw a new God coming before Ares brought you here. The fact that you survived Ares forcing his knowledge into alone would qualify you as a deity. Let's not forget you survived being crushed by tons of metal….That reminds me." Hermes pulled out a canteen and drink from it. "Ah, that's the good stuff. Want a swig?"

Naruto took the canteen and sniffed it. "It smells like honey."

"It's ambrosia Naruto. The food of the Gods." explained Hermes. "Go ahead and try it."

Naruto pondered for a moment and then drank some of the divine nectar. "Hmmm….Ramen is better."

The Greek God of travelers nearly exploded into laughter. "Ramen? You mean that noodle soup they eat in Japan?!" Seeing Naruto nod Hermes stopped the car to have a laughing fit. It took a few minutes for him to calm down. Wiping a tear from his eye the God said, "So, do you feel any different having drank the ambrosia?"

Naruto raised his eyebrows at the odd question. "Should I feel something Hermes?"

Hermes grinned, "Not if you are a God Naruto. I can't say where you came from but whatever was normal for you there in your home dimension is godly here. Ambrosia is said to grant immortality to mere mortals and clearly it had no effect upon you." The Greek God chuckled. "Obviously you are some kind of deity. It has some perks you know."

….

Mount Olympus

That night while Naruto slept; Hermes was addressing the pantheon at Olympus. "Naruto is sly and tricky and the animals most sacred to him are the fox and the toad." said the messenger God. "I tried to manipulate him a bit but he is clever and cunning. He actually pulled a practical joke on me! I like the guy!"

Zeus and the other Gods mulled things over….

Artemis thought, 'Do we really need another joker like Hermes hanging around? Maybe I should hunt him down and kill him.'

Hephaestus wondered, 'Does he have any gear? It might be time to make something new and different.'

Apollo thought, 'I wish I could foresee more on this one. This Naruto is a mystery. What is he a God of?'

Aphrodite asked, "Is he handsome?"

Everyone else sweat dropped at the Goddess of Love's predictable question….

Athena was more practical about this. "Is he truly a God? From what you've said ambrosia had no effect whatsoever."

Looking thoughtful, Hermes said, "I sense as much power in him as any of us. Ares grabbed him and the other one for a reason. He's very shut mouthed about his powers though. I'm interested in seeing what he can do besides gather information."

"What do you mean by 'gather information' Hermes?" asked Zeus concerned.

Hermes stroked his chin. "What I mean Father is Naruto Uzumaki is incredibly smooth with his talking, "Everything he asks is laced with hidden questions and before long he knows all about you without revealing anything about himself. As I said, he's quite cunning. All I really know about him is his native language is Japanese and he is a warrior. He is also dead set against Ares and his warlike ways."

"A warrior who fights for peace?" asked Poseidon. "That is most unusual."

"He could be lying you know." said Athena.

Hermes shook his head. "I think not. I've dealt with many liars in my time and while he is hiding a great deal it is obvious he is full of sorrow at what mankind has done to itself."

"We watch and wait then?" asked Hera.

"What of young Diana? She needs allies." asked Apollo.

Zeus drummed his fingers on his temple and said. "Introduce the two Hermes. I want to see how they interact."

Hermes nodded. "As you wish Father." With that Hermes vanished like the wind….

….

Troyes, France, Roadside Inn

Hermes reappeared at the inn he and Naruto were staying at and saw the blonde was still asleep in bed. The Messenger of the Gods yawned and stretched. "Time to get some shut eye." Suddenly Hermes found himself in a brutal choke hold from behind.

"Never try to sneak up on me." growled Naruto.

"It-it's me, Hermes!" choked out the Grecian God. He knew he couldn't break Naruto's iron grip just from his senses.

Naruto released him and said tiredly, "Sorry Hermes but you never know when another ninja will appear. I'm going back to bed."

Hermes regained his breath and asked, "Ninja, as in the Far East assassins? Is that what you are?"

Naruto nodded. "I thought it was obvious." said Naruto. The shadow clone in the bed dispelled. "I'm going back to sleep."

The Messenger of the Gods rubbed his throat. 'What a grip. He could have snapped my neck like a twig. So he is a ninja….interesting….'

….

The Ionian Sea, February 21st, 1919

Naruto followed Hermes' directions and went south towards Italy's boot to go by ship to Greece where he would (presumably) cross paths with Diana. Naruto was able to get aboard a large yacht named the Uccello Marino in the port of Salerno simply enough so he decided to relax along with the filthy rich that hired the yacht to go to the port of Pylos in Greece. Like any good stowaway he blended in by pretending he was rich too. The blonde was posing as a wealthy U.S. War Veteran that decided to tour Europe now that the war was over. After travelling through the Strait of Messina into the Ionian Sea; Naruto was beginning to wonder if he shouldn't have hitched a ride on a tramp steamer….

'Look at all these people living in total extravagance Kurama.' thought the blonde as he relaxed on deck. 'What a bunch of pigs.'

Kurama chuckled. 'Acting like a total fop is hard for you isn't it? All these rich old men with their wives that are young enough to be their daughters.'

'I guess money talks. I'd think keeping up with a young mistress would be difficult with the age gap.' thought Naruto.

'Judging by the way they are all acting I'd say they are all cheating on each other anyway.' said the fox. 'You've had three women invite you to "spend time" with them.'

The blonde mentally shook his head. 'They were all married too.'

'I believe the term is playing the field.' said Kurama. 'The brunette was downright angry you wouldn't go with her.'

"More wine sir?" asked a hostess which broke Naruto out of his mental conversation.

Naruto looked at his nearly empty glass and said, "I'm good thank you."

"The blonde lady over on your left sent it with her compliments." said the hostess. "Blue eyes, very pretty."

Mentally cringing, Naruto reluctantly accepted the drink.

'And here comes number four!' chortled Kurama. Naruto just sighed as the attractive blonde woman came over to talk to him….

….

The Ionian Sea

That evening the yacht Uccello Marino ran into an unexpected storm which badly damaged the sailing rig of the vessel. They ended up anchored at a cove of an island that the navigator said was completely uncharted. Some of the sailors and men aboard decided to conduct a search of their surroundings led by one of the wealthy who fancied himself a great explorer and big game hunter. He was an Englishman whose name was Clyde Livingston. The man had a walrus moustache and his ginger hair was starting to gray.

"So Mister Uzumaki; I understand you fought with the American Expeditionary Force during the war." said Livingston. "Are you up for a little trip? This island intrigues me and I believe the locals might have a telegraph to get us some help. What do you say?"

Naruto had been using sensory ninjutsu and detected a massive amount of natural energy on this island. "I suppose I could join you sir." replied Naruto. "The island looks like nothing but forest from this angle. It's a shame we have no map."

"That's part of the adventure my boy!" exclaimed Livingston. "You need to get out there and live. Glory is yours for the taking!"

Naruto raised an eyebrow. 'Idiot. This place could be very dangerous.' "It would still be best to have a little caution. Let me get my weapons."

"Of course my boy!" said the Englishman. "I'm getting my hunting gear together as well."

….

'I wish I had more than my kunai knives and shuriken….and this machete.' thought Naruto dourly. The whiskered blonde initially was hacking his way through the forest in the scouting position until Livingston spotted a deer and decided to take it as a trophy. 'After that half of the damn forest lit up with gunfire!' growled Naruto mentally. The blonde ninja walked back to Livingston and said, "If you want me to scout Livingston then you and your men stop shooting like the damn war is still on! I could have been killed by you idiots shooting me in the back!"

"Now, now Mister Uzumaki." said Livingston in a patronizing tone. "The boys just got carried away. I assure you that it was unintentional."

"Unintentional or not makes no difference if you are dead." growled Naruto. "Keep those men in line." Naruto marched back ahead and got out of sight just long enough to make a shadow clone. The real Naruto went up a tree and used the hiding camouflage technique. For all intents and purposes he vanished from the face of the Earth….

The shadow clone came back into view and signaled the other men forward hoping none of the idiots would shoot him. As he moved stealthily through the forest Naruto could hear all of the men crunching through the underbrush talking merrily among themselves as if it were a picnic. The shadow clone wanted to scream at their stupidity but was soon baffled by a strange sight. A large mansion was ahead and Naruto saw it was surrounded by lions and all sorts of other animals. One of the lions saw the clone and quickly came over to nuzzle him. 'These animals are tame?!' thought the clone. 'Just what the hell is going on here?!'

Naruto's clone crept back to the others and reported to Livingston. "There is a mansion ahead surrounded by tamed wildlife. There are even lions that are harmless as housecats. Something is very wrong with this island. It would be in our best interest to not kill these animals. I think they are pets. It might be best to head back to the ship. My instincts are telling me something is very wrong with this place. "

"Lions as pets? That's preposterous Mister Uzumaki." said Livingston. "I need to see this for myself." The shadow clone soon led Livingston over to the edge of the clearing and they both saw a radiant woman with dark brown hair out talking to the animals and petting them. She spoke in soft and soothing tones and the animals all seemed to adore her. Livingston gasped, "By Jove; this young woman has tamed them! Let's go talk to her."

Naruto's clone sensed a massive amount of power coming from this woman and hid his own. She smiled and said in Italian, "Hello there gentleman, I'm Leda. It's so rare I get visitors. Welcome to the Island of Aeaea."

Livingston blushed slightly at her beauty and asked, "Are these animals yours my dear?"

"Yes, I raised them since they were tiny. They are completely safe." said Leda merrily. "Please tell your friends to come out and join us. I haven't entertained guests in so long." Her comely smile and inviting nature were too much for Clyde Livingston to resist and he called his men out to join them.

Livingston turned on the charm and said, "I am Clyde Livingston my dear. Please call me Clyde."

Leda soon eagerly introduced herself to all the other men and they were all quite taken with her charms. "Please come join me in my mansion." said Leda. "I'd love to hear how such a handsome group of men arrived on my little island."

As everyone eagerly followed Leda back into her mansion the original Naruto waited at the tree line and observed from a distance….

….

The Island of Aeaea

By that afternoon, the men from the Uccello Marino were having a royally good time as they feasted. It turned out Leda was not only a charming and beautiful hostess; she was a superb cook as well. Leda flirted a bit with all of them and made sure that everyone was drinking and eating while they told tall tales of their many adventures. Clyde Livingston obviously held himself in great esteem….He was having a wonderful time bragging about his exploits. Naruto's clone stayed under a genjutsu showing he'd eaten though he hadn't touched the food. His instincts were screaming this was a trap.

A couple of hours later all the men were sleeping at the table having drunk and gorged themselves into a deep sleep. Naruto acted as if he was asleep as well. Seeing that everyone was unconscious Leda chuckled in a sinister tone and spoke in ancient Greek {"Men haven't changed a bit. They act like swine and therefore; swine they shall be!"} Leda waved her hands and after speaking several words of incantation Livingston and all his men transformed into pigs. Leda was laughing cruelly until she noticed Naruto's clone sitting there in all his still human glory. "What have we here?" she asked.

The shadow clone opened his eyes and let out a pulse of chakra while whispering, "Genjutsu kai!"

The illusion over Leda's form shattered and revealed that her dark brown hair was in fact violet and that her brown eyes were tinged with red. Naruto's clone thought she looked even more beautiful without the illusion but said nothing about it. "Who are you?" asked Naruto's clone. "Why did you do that to Livingston and the others?"

'Leda' laughed melodiously and said, "You are different from the others….I am Circe, the daughter of the Sun God Helios and the Oceanid Nymph Perse. I am a sorceress who turns those who offend me into the animals the naturally are….That blowhard Clyde and his merry men were quite obviously pigs so that's the form I gave them. Now the question is who you are….You clearly aren't an ordinary mortal. I saw you eating and drinking but you politely kept to yourself. Why did my magics not change you like the others…? On top of that you dispelled my illusion which shows you have some Godly blood. I've told you who I am. Now tell me who you are."

The shadow clone stood up and moved around the still sleeping swine. He said, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki….

Mount Olympus

"He's marooned on the Island of Aeaea with Circe?" asked Poseidon. "This should be quite a trial for young Naruto."

"Perhaps we should send young Diana to help him." suggested Athena. "She has plenty of power. Armed with the proper knowledge I'm sure she could rescue Naruto."

"Having a woman rescue a man?" asked Apollo. "Ha! That seems unlikely at best." he said with a laugh.

Artemis growled, "Watch your tongue brother! Women are not weak. I could take you out of the picture with ease!"

"That's enough you two." said Hera. "Athena, why don't you visit young Diana and give her a new sword as a reward for besting Ares? The rest is up to you." She glared at her husband Zeus as if to dare him to disagree.

Zeus saw his wife's anger and said, "It seems Hera and I are of like minds. Hephaestus, do you have a sword suitable for young Diana?"

Hephaestus pondered a moment and said, "Actually I do. Sister Athena, please come to my hall and I will give you an appropriate sword for an Amazon to give our little sister."

….

Pylos, Greece

Diana Prince was a bit vexed. She'd been blessed with a great deal of patience but it was starting to run out. Hermes had visited her and told her to come here to meet a travelling companion named Naruto….

Flashback….

Hermes caught Diana in the shower and found himself in lust with her and tried to lay his hands on the Amazon Princess. Alas; Diana put a stop to that by punching the Messenger of the Gods in the face hard enough to knock him out. When the God of speed woke up he was tied up with the lasso of truth and Diana was towering over him in her red and blue combat gear.

"Ouch…." said Hermes as he groggily woke up. "I feel like I was hit by a Minotaur…."

"Are you awake lecherous one?" asked Diana. "I know you are some kind of Godling so tell me your name."

"I am Hermes, the Messenger of the Gods. I, ummm….Came to greet you Diana, Princess of Themyscira." said the aching God as he rubbed his nose and forehead.

The raven haired beauty growled, "Do you always try to force yourself on women? Perhaps I should take your manhood."

Hermes panicked. "No, no! I assure you that I was simply overwhelmed by your beauty and lost my senses. Please forgive me!" he groveled.

Somewhere the other Gods were laughing at poor Hermes' pathetic plight….

"Ahem! Yes, I was simply overwhelmed and have regained my facilities Princess." said Hermes trying to recover his dignity. "I bring a message from Father Zeus. We have found a travelling companion for you named Naruto. He should arrive at the Port of Pylos three days hence on a yacht named Uccello Marino. He is blond and will be a great help to you…."

Flashback end….

Diana sighed and thought aloud, "So where is this ship? It's already a day late."

"I'm afraid it is stranded if not completely lost." said a deep female voice.

Diana quickly rotated and saw Athena standing there in all her glory. "L-lady Athena?" asked the Amazon Princess. 'She looks just like the statue back in Themyscira.'

The raven haired woman started to kneel but Athena stopped her. "There is no need to kneel out here in public Diana. To everyone else I appear to be just another tourist." The Goddess chuckled. "Now at least I understand why Hermes made such a fool out of himself. You are quite the beauty."

Diana blushed a bit and said, "I thank you. Can you tell me the fate of this Naruto that Hermes spoke of?"

Athena chuckled again and said, "He is on the Island of Aeaea where the Sorceress Circe dwells. You'll have to sail out there and rescue him I'm afraid. He's probably either been turned into an animal or is being bedded by Circe as we speak…."

The Amazon Princess was a bit dumbfounded. "This Naruto person needs to be rescued and he's supposed to help me out? What's next…?"

….

The Island of Aeaea

Naruto's shadow clone had Circe's hands pinned behind her back and his machete at her throat. He said from behind her, "Where I come from women are just as dangerous as men. I won't underestimate you."

Circe was sweating heavily and said, "W-what do you want from me Lord Naruto? All you have to do is ask."

The blonde ninja remembered a phrase that Hermes taught him. "I want you to swear by the River Styx that you will not harm me in any way or try to kill me sorceress. That's what I want."

Feeling the machete draw a tiny sliver of blood Circe said in a frightened tone, "I will do as you ask. I, Circe swear not harm or try to kill you in any way while you are on Aeaea. I swear this on the River Styx!"

Naruto pulled the blade from her throat and released Circe by shoving her away. The sorceress was wringing her hands to get the feeling back in them. They were a bit numb from Naruto's iron grip when he had her pinned. "Are you always so rough with your women?" asked Circe.

Naruto shook his head. 'My women?' "No, it is how I handle a serious threat which is what you are."

She smiled and said, "You are as clever as you are handsome Naruto. You are a strong warrior as well. I like that in a man." Her smile widened. "I misjudged you by lumping you in with those other men. Let's start over and get to know each other better. Please feel welcome here on my little island."

….

'This woman is bad news.' thought the original Naruto as one of his hidden shadow clones dispelled. 'First she tries to turn me into a pig and now she's trying to seduce me. I'm glad it's a clone in there in there instead of the real me. What are we going to do Kurama?'

'Head back to the ship maybe?' asked Kurama uncertainly. 'Getting off this damn island would be the best choice. It's her territory after all.'

Naruto shook his head. 'All those men are stuck in pig form and we really can't leave without them. Even if we decided to; how would we convince the crew that all those men are animals now?'

'That's a good point.' said the fox. 'Convincing the crew to leave without their shipmates might be impossible….On the other hand being rid of Clyde Livingston might be worth it. He's an insufferable bastard.'

The blonde ninja gave a mental chuckle. 'I can't argue about that last part. The guy nearly got us killed. Let's head back to the ship and see if it's been repaired. Then we'll figure out what to do about Circe.'

The yacht Uccello Marino was laying on its side sunk in water when Naruto arrived. Upon boarding the wreckage he found that the ship was damaged far beyond repair and entirely devoid of human life…. "What the hell happened here?" said Naruto.

"It seems that modern people have no respect for water spirits." said an athletic, youthful man tuning a lyre while lounging on the shore. "The Nereids; or sea nymphs as they are called, came to help the crew of the Uccello Marino only for the crew to panic and attack them with gunfire. Lord Poseidon sent the creatures of the sea after the ship in revenge. You are the only one left Naruto."

Naruto said, "You know me but I don't know you….I assume you are an acquaintance of Hermes or you wouldn't know that I'm here."

The young man laughed. "I'm Apollo. I foresaw your arrival in this world. Hermes is a good friend of mine….To be honest I wonder how you are going to handle this so I came to watch."

The blonde ninja snorted and glared. "So I'm just entertainment to you?"

"Oh no." replied Apollo. "I simply don't want to get on Circe's bad side. She is a dangerous foe."

The Ionian Sea

Diana set sail from Pylos that afternoon with the winds at her back. 'I am in Lady Athena's debt for providing me with this ship and arranging it so the winds will guide me. I find it hard to believe my so called help is marooned on the Island of Aeaea. I hope his bad luck will have run its course by the time I arrive.' The raven haired beauty adjusted the sail to gather more wind. "The Ionian Sea seems calm today. I may as well concentrate on making time with this ship."

It was hours later that the Princess of Themyscira ran into unexpected help. The Nereids bought news of Naruto's plight when she prayed to Poseidon for guidance. The sea nymph Galene greeted Diana and said, "Princess Diana; you seek the one called Naruto who is on Aeaea do you not?"

Diana nodded and said, "Yes, it is my hope he hasn't been turned into an animal by Circe. I fear bargaining with her will be difficult."

"You are wise." said Galene. "Circe is under oath not to harm Naruto but she seems to have grown attached to him."

"You mean romantically?" gasped Diana. "That could actually be worse than him being turned into a pig!"

The Island of Aeaea

Naruto's shadow clone dispelled once Circe made it clear she wanted to sleep with him. The original Naruto was at the shore watching the Uccello Marino gradually settle into the water when he received the clone's memories. "There has got to be a way off of this island. How do I land myself in these situations? I'm not about to shack up with some crazy sorceress that I don't know anything about. I'm glad my shadow clone dispelled once he was out of sight." Naruto relaxed himself and went into Sage Mode to sense if there were other islands in the vicinity.

Later that evening Circe caught up with Naruto on the beach. She was slightly irritated but hid it well enough. "So this is where you ran off to Naruto. It wasn't very kind of you to disappear like that." She saw the wreckage of the Uccello Marino and said, "What happened here?"

"They offended Lord Poseidon and his nymphs." said Naruto as he opened his eyes showing their yellow color and cross shaped pupils.

Circe was startled at Naruto's eyes. "What are you Naruto?" She'd seen many things in her long life but the Toad Sage's eyes were a bit shocking.

"I am an enemy of the God Ares and I intend to destroy him." growled the blonde.

The sorceress' eyes grew wide. "You swore vengeance on the God of War?"

Naruto nodded. "He did his best to kill me but didn't quite finish the job. That was a mistake on his part. There is hell to pay."

Circe said in a concerned tone, "Many have fought the God of War but almost all lost their lives. You should drop this reckless course of action and stay here with me."

The blonde formed a large wind rasengan and threw it into the demolished remnants of the Uccello Marino. The wreckage was blown completely to smithereens. Naruto said, "That's a small fraction of what I can do."

The violet haired woman couldn't help but gape at the destruction. "I-I had no idea. Are you a Godling?"

Naruto said mysteriously, "Something like that. The question is….whose side are you on sorceress…?"

Circe blanched and said, "I cannot fight against Ares. Can I not convince you otherwise? I could make you very comfortable here on my island."

"I'm afraid not." said the blonde. "Ares is out there and I mean to end him."

….

Two days later….

A small sailing vessel entered the cove were the Uccello Marino had sunk to the bottom. Diana of Themyscira had arrived at the Island of Aeaea. She dropped the anchor over the side and tied off the ship. Seeing the bits of wreckage floating about it wasn't hard to figure out that this was where the Italian yacht was sunk. "I didn't expect the destruction to be so complete." she thought aloud. "Galene said Naruto was the only survivor of the Uccello Marino but I had hoped otherwise." It was only a few minutes later when the Amazon Princess went ashore. She had a new sword courtesy of Hephaestus and was hoping that violence wouldn't break out. As Diana walked up the beach a shadow clone in the form of a fox came wandering out of the forest and walked right up to her.

Diana smiled at the fox but then realized it might have been a person at one time. She said hesitantly, "Can you understand me little fox?"

The fox gave a vulpine grin and said, "I can understand you perfectly. What is your name?"

Hiding her shock at the speaking animal, the raven haired woman said, "I am Diana, Princess of Themyscira."

The fox said, "I've been waiting for you. Wait here and I'll inform the boss." The fox turned into a puff of smoke.

Diana was puzzled and looked about warily. The fox vanishing that way was a bit unnerving and the Amazon Princess was worried it was a trap of Circe's.

Naruto arrived about twenty minutes later having slept in the forest. He didn't trust Circe not to dose his food with some sort of love potion or whatnot so he stayed out of the sorceress's mansion and stayed outside. Circe had not been pleased about this and Naruto wanted to get off the Island of Aeaea as soon as possible. He saw the beautiful Amazon and bowed. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki and I'm honored to meet you Princess Diana of Themyscira. We should leave as soon as possible as the Sorceress Circe is quite angry with me."

Diana raised a delicate eyebrow and asked, "What did you do to anger her?"

The blonde looked embarrassed and said, "I refused her um….charms. It made her really upset."

The Amazon Princess had heard that Circe was a vengeful sort and said, "Let us make haste then." and led him back to the ship she had.

It was then that Circe appeared on the beach in a flare of power. She roared, "You've been waiting on another woman Naruto?!" The Sorceress was furious. "How dare you! I should curse you both!"

Another Naruto appeared behind Circe and chopped her neck which rendered the beautiful violet haired woman unconscious. He lowered her gently to the ground and said, "She's just asleep boss."

Naruto nodded and said, "Take her back to her mansion and dispel once she's safe. Princess, let's get out of here while we still can."

Diana said, "What of your double?"

"He's a clone." said the ninja. "He'll cease to exist once his job is done."

….

By the time Circe came around the ship with Diana and Naruto on it was long gone. She'd been listening when Naruto met the Princess and hissed, "You'll pay for taking Naruto from me Diana of Themyscira. Mark my words!"

Circe was not one to forgive or to forget….

POSTSCRIPT:

Believe it or not I've never seen or read any of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. (I hope to eventually). The descriptions I have of the Gods are mainly from the myths I've read over the years like my story Valkyrie is with Norse myths. I have added a bit of DC on Ares and Circe (her violet hair for instance) but in general I want to try to stick with the mythology like the Iliad and the Odyssey.

Well, we'll see how this goes over. It's a one shot for now. See you next time. Blue out. 7/17/17
