Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing a little of Naruto's past and his training under his father, along with starting to see even more changes to canon. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
Naruto gritted his teeth, suppressing a scream of pain as a massive stone column slammed into him, sending the eight-year-old crashing through a tree. His eyes widening as he saw the tree about to fall on top of him, managing to roll out of the way in time before it did. Before he looked at what had hit him, a monster known as a troll.
Trolls were massive creatures, with Naruto barely coming up to its knees, with large tusks on the edge of their faces. All Trolls had massive strength, durability, and stamina, along with having higher intelligence than most monsters, making them more dangerous as they could think and plan. And if that wasn't enough, each troll also carried gigantic stone totems with runes carved into them. With the runes strengthening their abilities and granted them power over an element.
The whiskered redhead quickly jumped back when the troll shot a blast of flames out of its hand at him, roaring as it charged him with its pillar held above its head.
'Weapon! I need a weapon, something, anything!' Naruto thought as he ran through the forest, looking around for anything that he could use against the Troll before noticing the shadow descending towards him, rolling out of the way in time to avoid being crushed by the Troll's totem.
Only to bite his cheek, when a wave of flames erupted from the impact, burning his left side and throwing him back against a tree. Grunting as he forced himself to stand up, Naruto couldn't help but feel relief when he saw a sharp-looking rock sticking out of the snow. Thanking whatever god decided to show a little mercy, Naruto grabbed the rock before jumping out of the way of the Troll's fist as it smashed through the tree.
With the Uzumaki rushing the troll, getting in close and began stabbing and slashing at its leg, the monster roaring at the attacks before raising its foot up to crush the demigod. Only to roar in pain, when Naruto took the opportunity to stab the rock deep into its foot with it being buried even deeper when it stomped down.
'That should at least slow it down a little.' Naruto thought before he took off running again, knowing while it may slow the troll down, it'll also make it even angrier.
Unfortunately, Naruto didn't get far when something slammed into his back and sent him flying, making him bite his cheek again to avoid screaming in pain. Though he did let out a grunt when he crashed into the ground, looking to see he's back in the clearing they started in. Along with seeing what crashed into him when a large tree came flying out of the forest, towards him. Naruto's eyes widened at the sight before he tried moving out of the way, barely dodging the tree as it crashed down where he once was.
Though he was then forced to raise his hands, gritting his teeth as the Trolls totem smashed down against him. The Uzumaki felt the ground crack beneath as the troll kept pushing the totem down to crush to him. With Naruto using all his strength to keep it from getting closer, only to squeeze his eyes shut when the runes on it lit up with fiery energy and began burning his hands.
'Come on, come on! Push it back!' Naruto thought, struggling to push the totem back towards the troll or away from him.
Knowing if he didn't do it soon, then he'll either be crushed or burned alive, given he wouldn't be getting any help. That thought made Naruto growl in anger before his eyes snapped open, with them now glowing and sparking with electricity as he glared at the troll. Before, slowly, he began pushing the totem back until he was standing up, panting in anger. Only to shout and throw his arms up, sending the totem flying straight at the Trolls face.
The troll looking in shock at the sight before grunting in pain as its totem smashed into its face, sending the monster stumbling backwards. With Naruto jumping up and grabbing one of the Trolls tusks, flipping around to land on the back of the Trolls head. Naruto then began punching the Troll repeatedly in the head, making it stumble around with each blow. Until the troll managed to right itself, roaring as it tried throwing Naruto off, only for the whiskered redhead to hold on and continue punching it.
Before with a final punch, Naruto jumped off as the Troll went falling to the ground with a loud crash. The Uzumaki panting as he landed on the ground, only to jump up and slam his feet right down onto the Trolls back when it tried getting up, before he went over to the Trolls head. Glaring at the monster, Naruto grabbed the troll by its tusks, grunting as he twisted the Trolls head around snapping its neck.
Though Naruto didn't stop there, before he broke one of the Trolls tusks off and began repeatedly stabbing it in the head and neck.
"You're nothing to me! You worthless, brainless monster! You're nothing! DIE!" Naruto shouted as he kept stabbing the Troll, not caring that it was already dead.
Only for the Uzumaki to be pulled from his raged-induced state when someone grabbed his wrist, stopping his assault on the Trolls body. Gasping when the person lifted him up before tossing him onto the ground. With Naruto's anger instantly fading when he saw the familiar cold-blooded and serious expression on his father's face.
"I-I…I did as you asked father…the Troll's dead." Naruto said, bowing his head, while his father continued to simply look at him.
"I said no weapons." Stated the god, making Naruto gulp before quickly tossing the broken tusk aside.
"I-it was already dead when I broke its tusk off!" Said Naruto, knowing if his father told him to do something, then he had to do exactly as he said or else.
With the god remaining silent before walking over to the Trolls feet, Naruto paling slightly as he ripped open the Trolls foot and grabbed the rock he used against it.
"Then explain this." He demanded, Naruto shaking a little since he knew he was in trouble before he gagged and clutched his stomach when his father flicked the rock at him.
Holding back, otherwise the rock would have gone straight through him.
"But I suppose you did succeed in killing it with your own hands. So, you'll be walking back to the Temple of Týr after you find and kill three Ancients while bringing their hearts back as proof." Said the god, causing Naruto to look at him in disbelief.
"Th-th-three A-An-An-Ancients?!" Naruto said, not believing he wanted to find and kill three Ancients and bring back their hearts.
Finding Ancients was hard enough due to their bodies being made entirely out of rock, making them difficult to spot them if they're sleeping. But killing them was nearly impossible with how their bodies are basically indestructible, and his father is telling him to kill three.
"Would you prefer three Soul Eaters, instead? Or perhaps three Dragons?" Demanded the god narrowing his eyes dangerously, the Uzumaki quickly shaking his head.
"No! No, I'll find the Ancients and bring their hearts back, I swear!" Naruto said, knowing he shouldn't push his luck.
"Good…I expect them by nightfall. Otherwise, we'll have to start your training from the beginning if you can't handle such a simple task." The god said before vanishing in a bolt of lightning.
Once he was sure his father was gone, Naruto collapsed to his hands and knees, spitting up blood while clutching his side, feeling the broken ribs from his fight with the Troll. Not helped, when his father flicked the rock at him, along with his burned hands.
Having learned to suppress his pain and not let it show, as it'd only make things worse during his training. Only doing so, when he knew he was alone or only those he could trust were around.
Coughing and gagging for a more moments, Naruto shakily stood up before leaving to track down three Ancients, knowing he didn't have a lot of time left before nightfall.
*Present*
'Three fucking Ancients, and what do I get after nearly dying against them to get their hearts in time? I expect you to be faster next time.' Naruto thought as he and the others sat around the fire in the Hunters camp.
With there being seven large tents, all of them made from silver silk, curved in a crescent shape around one side of a bonfire. While a dozen white wolves acted as guards around the camp, as well as falcons up in the trees.
After they arrived at camp, Annabeth, Andromeda, Thalia, and Grover had begun explaining everything to Bianca and Nico about the Greek Gods, monsters, and everything else. Artemis having also sent a few Hunters to collect their belongings from Westover.
While Naruto remained silent for the most part, still listening as they explained everything. But, instead, felt his mind drifting back to being "raised" and trained by his father.
"So…the gods…the actual Greek Gods, are real? That was…really Artemis?" Bianca asked, feeling her head spinning at all the information.
"Yeah, my mother's Athena, Andie's dad is Poseidon, Thalia's dad is Zeus, and Grover's a satyr." Replied Annabeth, knowing it's a lot to take in for new demigods to learn the myths and stories they've heard about are real.
"This is awesome! Do you know who's kids we are?!" Questioned Nico in excitement, not believing his Mythomagic game was actually real.
"We don't know, your godly parent is revealed when they claim you. But whoever they are, they must be important if Thorn wanted to take you both alive." Andromeda said, the brunette shivering at remembering what Thorn said about them either joining his army or being fed to monsters.
"That explains…Nico, you remember last summer? Those guys who tried to attack us in the alley in DC?" Bianca asked while looking at her brother, suddenly remembering the last time they were attacked, realizing they were monsters.
"And that bus driver. The one with the ram's horns. I told you that was real." Nico said with a smirk, pleased to know he'd been right.
"Yeah, and Thorn won't be the last monster you guys run into. Which is why we're here to bring you to Camp Half-Blood, where you'll be safe and be trained to protect yourselves." Thalia stated, making the siblings look at her, Bianca looking unsure while Nico was excited at the idea of being trained.
"Will we get magic weapons, like Naruto's axe?!" Nico asked, really wanting to get his own weapon he could summon, with his question making the girls frown.
"That…really depends on who your parent is and if they'll give you magical items. But I've never heard of any weapons that could be recalled like that before, except…" Annabeth muttered as she began thinking things over.
"And speaking of…hey, Whiskers!" Thalia said, looking at Naruto, snapping her fingers to get his attention, with the Uzumaki glancing at them.
"What?" Said Naruto.
"Naruto? Why don't you seem surprised by any of this? Did you know about…all of this?" Bianca asked as she and the others looked at him.
"Yes, I knew, I've known about the gods my entire life." Naruto replied, surprising them that he's known his entire life.
"And you've never been to camp?" Grover asked in disbelief that any demigod could know about the gods and not have been taken to camp.
"You're under the impression, I'm Greek." Stated Naruto, surprising them again before Thalia and Andromeda frowned at him.
"That doesn't make any sense, there aren't any other gods besides the Greek Gods. You'd have to be related to one of them." Andromeda said, with Naruto rolling his eyes at her words.
"And who told you the Olympians were the only gods? Do you honestly believe they alone rule this planet? No, there are more gods than you can even comprehend. Keep that in mind, as you never know when you may meet one and piss them off, kid." Said Naruto, with Andromeda scowling at him.
"Why don't you take your own advice, Kitty." Andromeda retorted.
"Well, if you aren't a child of an Olympian or a Minor God. Then which Pantheon do you come from?" Questioned Thalia, wanting to know what kind of demigod Naruto was.
"Norse." Annabeth stated, making the others look at her, with the Daughter of Athena looking at Naruto in realization.
"That's the Pantheon you're from, aren't you. Your father is a Norse God." Said Annabeth, the whiskered redhead looking at her with a raised brow before nodding.
"That's right, he's a member of the Aesir Tribe." Naruto replied, not surprised she managed to figure it out.
"What're…Norse Gods? And the…Aesir Tribe?" Bianca asked in confusion, not being familiar with different pantheons.
Though they stopped when Zoe walked over to them, looking at Naruto in distaste, before speaking.
"Lady Artemis wishes to see thee, Andromeda Jackson, Bianca di Angelo, Thalia Grace. As well as you, man." Said Zoe, looking at the four of them.
"You! It's "you", how hard is that to say?!" Thalia said in annoyance before standing up along with Andromeda, Bianca, and Naruto.
"Hey Nico, why don't you show Grover how to play Mythomagic." Suggested Naruto, causing the younger boy to grin before he immediately began explaining the game to the satyr.
Zoe escorted the four demigods to one of the tents, opening it to show Artemis already inside. With silk rugs and pillows covered the floor. And in the center, a golden brazier of fire seemed to burn without fuel or smoke. While behind Artemis was a polished oak display case where her bow rested, along with numerous pelts hanging from the walls.
"Sit, join us." Artemis said, motioning the four to sit down, with them doing so, though Thalia was more reluctantly than the others.
"If you try making the offer again, my answer's still no." Thalia stated, wanting to make it clear she wasn't joining the Hunters.
"Understood, Thalia Grace. Though first I have business to discuss with the Aesir." Said Artemis, turning towards Naruto with narrowed eyes.
"Tell me, what are you doing in America, let alone this close to Olympus?" Artemis asked, wanting to know what a Norse demigod was doing this far from their realm.
"This was the best place I could go to escape from the rest of my family, none of them would think or try to look for me here." Replied Naruto, the goddess frowning at this.
"You fled and decided to hide here? You could have gone anywhere else, yet you seem to choose here, specifically. Why?" Said Artemis.
"Would you think to look for a giant hiding among ants?" Naruto asked with a raised brow, with Artemis scowling in annoyance at this.
"Thou will-" Said Zoe, standing up only for Artemis to hold up her hand.
"Stand down, Zoe. As insulting as it is…he has a point." Artemis said reluctantly, knowing that the Olympians weren't anywhere close to their original power before the decline in their worship.
"So, there actually are other gods? Other pantheons?! Why weren't we ever told?!" Thalia said in disbelief and anger, not believing there were other pantheons of gods in the world and none of them were ever told about it.
"Because of your dad." Naruto said, making the ravenette look at him before turning back to Artemis, who nodded reluctantly again.
"He is correct…again. Our father does…not enjoy the idea of demigods learning the existence of other pantheons, believing it would lead to them losing faith in the Olympians if they didn't believe we were the sole power in the world. And having forbidden it from ever being revealed." Said Artemis, much to Andromeda's and Thalia's disbelief before they looked at Naruto.
"And you were told? How come you knew about other pantheons?" Questioned Andromeda while frowning at this kind of information being kept hidden, being reminded of Zeus's refusal to believe Kronos was returning.
"Yes, I did say I've known about the gods my entire life. And why would other pantheons care if their children knew about the existence of other gods? They're secure in their power and stations, having no reason to fear being abandoned and instead see it as making sure they're fully aware of everything the world. After all, a lot of gods wouldn't hesitate to vaporize you if you insulted them in any way or didn't show proper respect." Naruto replied, with Thalia and Andromeda frowning at this.
"So, is that everything or not?" Questioned Naruto, looking at Artemis, with the goddess frowning at him.
"Who's your sire?" Artemis asked, knowing that was the most important piece of information.
With Naruto clenching his fists tightly before they all suddenly heard a crack of thunder in the sky, making all the girls look up before Andromeda looked at Thalia.
"That wasn't…me." Thalia said, only to slowly turn towards Naruto along with the others, while Artemis's eyes widened and gained a hint of nervousness.
"Don't tell me…" Said Artemis, mentally praying it wasn't who she was thinking of.
"I go by Naruto Uzumaki, the last name of my mother, to help hide my identity and hide in plain sight. But my real name is Naruto Thorsson." Naruto said, with Bianca, Thalia and Andromeda looking at him in shock, while Artemis covered her face, not believing what she just heard.
"Thorsson? As in…Thor? God of Thunder? Magic hammer that only the worthy can lift? Appears in a lot of movies, video games and comic books? That Thor?!" Andromeda asked, not believing Naruto was the Son of Thor, with the Uzumaki groaning and pinching the bridge of his nose.
"I swear I hate those stupid pop culture depictions, so much. First of all, Mjölnir can be lifted by anyone as long as they're strong enough, that whole being "worthy" thing is a load of crap. Secondly, how he's depicted in media is very different from how he really is, both in appearance and personality. And thirdly, yes, Thor is my father." Said Naruto, hating how his father is depicted as some muscular, good-hearted hero in media when that couldn't be farther from who he is.
But most of all it left him bitter at how he's depicted, especially in Marvel comics and movies, being shown as a courageous and good-hearted deity. Constantly showing him of something that could've been, something that he wished was how his father was really like, at times. While he's suffered years of physical, mental, and emotional neglect and abuse from the actual god.
'Though, I'll admit, it's actually enjoyable whenever he's screwed over.' Thought Naruto, smirking since he did enjoy that movie where his father was banished and stripped of his power, and then ran over by a truck.
And even if his origins are wrong, he also enjoyed how Loki is depicted as well, the Trickster God being one of the few Norse Gods he was on good terms with. However, the Uzumaki will also admit, it was hilarious seeing Loki be treated as a ragdoll by the Hulk as well.
"You're father…is Thor? And you had the brilliant idea, to come here?!" Artemis demanded, knowing how dangerous things will get if the Aesir found out he was hiding near Olympus.
"As I said, none of them would think or try to look for me, here." Said Naruto, with Bianca, Andromeda, and Thalia looking between the two.
"Then thou should leave whilst you can." Stated Zoe, narrowing her eyes at the whiskered redhead.
"Believe me, sweetheart, I'd love nothing more than to avoid getting dragged into another messed up pantheon. But Bianca and Nico are now part of this and I'm not going to abandon them." Naruto replied, making Bianca smile, happy that he was staying for her and her brother, while Zoe's face turned red in anger at the nickname.
"Sweetheart?! I shall remove thy tongue you-" Zoe said, reaching for her hunting knives..
"Zoe!" Said Artemis, giving her lieutenant a stern look, with Zoe scowling before crossing her arms.
"Yes, sit and pout, you already look like a princess with your pretty tiara, now you have the attitude of one." Naruto said with a smirk, while Zoe glared murderously at him, only to glare at Thalia when she started laughing.
"He's not wrong, Nightshade! Maybe you should wear a dress to complete the look!" Thalia said, enjoying how Naruto was egging her on, with even Bianca and Andromeda laughing a little.
"Can you not antagonize my Hunters any further?!" Said Artemis, glaring at the Uzumaki in annoyance at what he's started.
"I'll think about it, but no." Naruto replied, the Mood Goddess looking tempted to let Zoe attack him, before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath to calm herself down.
Artemis then turned towards Bianca and Andromeda, wanting to get to the other reason she called them all in here. With Thalia's amusement vanishing, being replaced with a scowl, knowing what she was going to say next.
"Now then, there was one other matter I wished to discuss with both of you Andromeda Jackson, Bianca di Angelo. But first I need ask both of you about the manticore and anything it said as to why it was here, and why it wanted you and your brother." Said Artemis, wanting to know what Thorn's purpose had been to capture Bianca and Nico.
Bianca paling slightly at remembering when Thorn held them captive, while Andromeda clenched her fists given how Thorn was working with Luke.
"He uh…he said something about like…something called the Great Stirring, that a lot of monsters were appearing. Along with how someone called the…the General would explain things to us." Bianca said, remembering some of what Thorn had said, Andromeda nodding in agreement remembering as well.
Artemis frowned gravely at this before looking at Zoe, seeing her lieutenant had paled at the mention of the General and knew why.
"There was also something else he said, that soon they'd have the most important monster of all, one apparently able to bring about the downfall of Olympus." Added Andromeda, with Artemis going completely still at hearing this.
"…Then it seems I was right about the scent I had caught. Things I haven't hunted in millennia are coming back and one so old I'd nearly forgotten about it." Artemis said, realizing she's been too slow in noticing the signs about what's returned and knew she needed to find the monster before the General did.
"What're you talking about?" Thalia asked with a frown, annoyed that the goddess wasn't telling them anything.
"We came here tonight after sensing the manticore, but he wasn't what I was seeking. It was something else, something incredibly dangerous if the General got his hands on it." Said Artemis, the Daughter of Zeus's eye twitching at not getting a straight answer, with Naruto looking at her and Andromeda.
"Are all Olympians this cryptic and never give straight answers?" Questioned Naruto, genuinely curious if the entire Greek Pantheon was like this.
"Unfortunately." Thalia replied in annoyance, as even after being revived, she still wasn't told everything and apparently there was even more being hidden than she originally expected.
"Uh-huh." Said Andromeda, remembering when she first arrived at Camp Half-Blood and everything that was kept from her.
"That's because we hide such information for good reason and tell you it when you are ready." Artemis said, the whiskered redhead raising a brow.
"And who exactly decides "when they're ready"? You? Their parents who they barely know? Some Oracle that speaks in even more cryptic rhymes? Keeping information like that is only a good way to make them distrust you. So is it really any wonder why so many demigods are starting to prefer the Titans, if they can't even get a few simple answers from their parents?" Naruto said, making the goddess frown in annoyance.
"See?! Kitty, here, gets it!" Said Andromeda, not wanting to agree with Naruto but also knowing he had a point.
"Quiet kid, grown-ups are talking." Said Naruto, the ravenette looking at him in annoyance before turning back to the goddess.
"Well, this information is better kept away from them, as the fewer who know about the monster the better." Stated Artemis, Naruto now looking at her with an unamused expression.
"Now, as for what I wished to discuss with you, Andromeda and Bianca. I wish to offer you both the chance to join my Hunters, to hunt by side for eternity, to remain maidens forever and reject love for as long as you live." Artemis offered, surprising the two girls at the offer.
"It is a great honor, devoting oneself to Lady Artemis, living with your new sisters, and swearing off males. Thou would be granted eternal youth, to live forever and hunt." Added Zoe, hoping that they'll take the offer to join the Hunters.
"U-uh…I…I don't think I'd…really want something like that." Said Bianca, unsure about the idea of remaining young forever while hunting deadly monsters.
Maybe she would've accepted the offer before, liking the idea getting to live her own life rather than always being a parent to Nico. But now she's had time to relax and grow with Naruto to help look after Nico, finally giving her the chance to enjoy some time to herself for a change.
'And swearing off boys and love forever…no thanks.' Bianca mentally added while glancing at Naruto, something that Artemis noticed, making her frown.
"Very well. And you, Andromeda." Said Artemis, turning to the Daughter of Poseidon with Thalia mentally scoffing, highly doubting that Andromeda would ever consider joining the Hunters and leaving camp.
But the longer she didn't hear Andromeda reject the offer, the more Thalia started to worry before she turned towards her cousin. Only to see Andromeda had a thoughtful look on her face, much to Thalia's disbelief.
"Andie?" Thalia asked, worried and hoping she wasn't actually thinking of taking the offer, before her hope was dashed when the younger ravenette looked at Artemis.
"There'd really be no interactions with any boys, at all?" Andromeda asked, much to Thalia's disbelief while Artemis nodded.
"None whatsoever. The only times you'd be around them would be the times when the Hunt stays at camp. Otherwise, we're always on the move, tracking monsters and other prey." Replied Artemis before she and Zoe smiled happily when Andromeda immediately nodded.
"Then I accept, I'll join the Hunters." Said Andromeda, liking the chance to not interact with boys ever again and risk being betrayed like with Luke.
And after what happened with him, she also had no interest in wanting to pursue a romantic relationship with anyone either.
"Are you kidding me?!" Thalia demanded, shooting up and looked at Andromeda in disbelief, anger and hurt that she's actually joining the Hunters.
"You're seriously just going to join…them?! What about the camp?! Everyone there needs your help, especially now!" Said Thalia, hoping to change her mind.
"No, they don't. The only time I was really needed was to find the Master Bolt, after that I didn't do anything. Clarisse was the one who got the Quest to find the Golden Fleece and I'm sure she would've been able to succeed even if I hadn't snuck away to get it myself. And besides, you're a better leader than I could be, everyone already looks to you for what to do, anyway." Andromeda said, muttering the last part a little bitterly.
While she may like her cousin and admit Thalia was much cooler, stronger, and a natural leader compared to her. That didn't Andromeda couldn't help but feel a little bitter at how everyone instantly starts going to her for advice and help, that she's the one who always makes the plans. Along with Chiron having even taught her to manipulate The Mist, something he never did for her.
"A few months ago, I was a tree! The rest of the campers barely know me, the only reason they'd follow me is because of who my dad is! But they do know you, they rely on you, and they are going to need your help Andromeda, we all will." Thalia said.
"Well maybe I don't want to be the hero, anymore!" Retorted Andromeda, standing up and facing her cousin.
"I didn't ask to be Poseidon's daughter or to be a demigod at all! I definitely didn't ask to be accused of stealing some all-powerful magic glowstick or a stupid helmet! The only reason I went on that Quest was to save my mom! I went to the Sea of Monsters to save Grover and help save the camp! Both times I nearly died multiple times, all of which only happened because of someone I thought was my friend, someone that I loved! Well now I'm actually making a choice of my own and not one anyone else decided for me!" Andromeda said, letting out some of her frustration that's built up ever since she first learned she was a demigod and only grew after Luke's betrayal.
"Then what about your mom?! Are you just never going to see her again?!" Demanded Thalia, not caring if it was a low blow to bring up her mother, not if it meant getting through to Andromeda.
Feeling some hope that she succeeded when she flinched, only for Andromeda to look away.
"She'll understand." Muttered Andromeda, with the Daughter of Zeus looking at her in anger before scoffing.
"Do whatever you want then, we probably will be better off without your whining." Thalia said scathingly before glaring at Zoe, while Andromeda flinched at her words.
"And I hope you're proud Nightshade, you finally got a daughter of the Big Three to join your group of man-haters." Said Thalia before storming out of the tent.
While Naruto and Bianca had watched the exchange silently, before the Uzumaki put a hand on her shoulder and tilted his head towards the exit. Nodding in understanding, Bianca got up and left, with Naruto standing as well, but didn't immediately leave and looked at Andromeda.
"What?! You wanna criticize my decision too, Kitty?!" Andromeda demanded, hiding the hurt from Thalia's words before then leaving, with Naruto shrugging in response.
"No, you wanna join the Hunters, that's your choice, kid. But ask yourself this, are you joining because it's what you really want or just an excuse to run from the pain?" Naruto said as he exited the tent before Andromeda could respond.
So, what did you think, good. Yep first we get a flashback of Thor having sent Naruto to kill a Troll without weapons, with Naruto nearly dying before being punished by his father after he used a rock against the Troll, sending him to find three Ancients, kill them, and bring their hearts back by nightfall. Before we return to the present where Bianca and Nico have had everything explained to them about the existence of the Greek Gods, monsters, and the fact they're demigods. With everyone then turning towards Naruto for an explanation on what he knows, with Annabeth putting it together he's a Norse demigod and that the Norse Pantheon is really as well, which Naruto confirms.
We then see Zoe taking Naruto, Bianca, Thalia, and Andromeda to meet with Artemis, with the Moon Goddess wanting to get answers as to why Naruto is so close to Olympus, with Naruto revealing he'd ran away and is hiding from the rest of his family, with this being the last place they'd look for him. As well as revealing that his father is Thor, much to the demigods surprise, along with showing Naruto's feelings regarding how his father is depicted in media.
Finally we see Artemis questioning Andromeda and Bianca about what Thorn had told them, before she then offers them both the chance to join her Hunters. With Bianca refusing the offer, while Andromeda considers it before accepting (for now anyway), much to Thalia's anger and hurt that her cousin would join the group she hates. Leading to the two getting into an argument as Thalia tries convincing Andromeda to stay, while Andromeda lets out her frustration at everything that's happened since finding out she's a demigod, with Thalia then storming out. With Naruto and Bianca leaving as well, though not before he gives her something to think about it. So, for those that like the story, thanks for your support. For those that don't or at least don't like the direction taken, you're more than welcomed to drop the story. But thanks for giving the story a chance anyway.
Storm out
