I own neither Naruto nor Percy Jackson, though I did recently buy the five-book set for my mom… I might read them at some point.

Percy was in some trouble.
The principle was a manticore, his friends were nowhere close enough to help, though he did hear them coming, and the girl he was protecting kept whining about getting the boy's backpack.
Apparently, Nico's backpack would solve all their problems.
Too bad the thing was dropped not too long into their run, causing Nico and Bianca to rush around the forest blind, trying to find the damn thing, making them move away from the backup that he heard coming, that backup being the daughter of Zeus and her lightening spear.
Percy would never admit it to the girl out loud, but ever since she was freed and he got the full story of her adventures with Annabeth and Luke, he sort of looked up to the girl.
It could not have been easy for her growing up, meaning she must have plenty of experience and strength.
Percy would only admit it within his subconscious so deep he wouldn't even know of it, but Thalia had his respect for the things he learned she did, and it inspired himself to do better, so he could protect the girl he loved just as she did.
Right now however, Bianca was adamant about getting that damn bag and taking him further away from his three friends, meaning that they were stuck chasing them rather than them closing the distance, all for a stupid bag.
Nico and Bianca shouted out in triumph when they saw the bag, causing Percy to groan about how they could have gotten a new one, the damn thing wasn't even blue.
Nico barely got a hand on the bag when the manticore landed in front of him, before it was electrocuted from behind.
Percy was pulling Nico and Bianca by their arms so that they were behind him as he was joined by his three friends.
"Jackson, next time you have a brilliant idea, write it down on a piece of paper then toss it into a fire. Why the hell did we have to chase you?"
Percy groaned as he glared at her.
"Blame the two behind us, they just had to get that bag."
Grover turned to the two kids.
"Is it magical?"
Nico was pulling something from said bag, so Grover could only assume it wasn't the bag, but something inside it.
Bianca glared at the four older kids, Nico finally revealing he had a rather old looking oil lamp in the bag, Percy thinking it was a tea kettle.
"All this extra trouble for a stupid tea kettle?"
"It's actually an oil lamp, used mostly in Egyptian culture seaweed brain."
Percy just looked at Annabeth.
"You are really gonna correct me at a time like this, for such a silly reason?"
Annabeth blushed a bit, as Percy was hit in the head by a serving sized bag of saltines, which turned out to have been thrown by Nico, who was berated by Bianca.
"You were supposed to have eaten those."
All Bianca got was a sheepish shrug, before Thalia yelled at them.
"I don't know how long this thing is going to back off from my lightening, so hurry it up."
While they were arguing, Thalia was actually keeping the manticore cautious of her, using her spear to shock the beast, which was actually getting less effective as she did.
Percy turned to try and help, while arrows flew past them stopping the manticore from getting closer, and Nico rubbed the lamp.
As the lamp glowed, Percy regretted doubting the stupid, not blue, bag.
Standing in front of the kids, and now in front of a bunch of young girls wielding bows, was a young-looking man, with spikey blond hair, wearing surprisingly enough, a red cloak with black flames at the bottom, with no shirt, his lower half being nothing but smoke.
"What is it you desire young masters?"
All anyone could think of doing was staring at what they were seeing, not even the hunters of Artemis knew what was going on.
Artemis herself however looked rather annoyed.
Nico spoke loudly as the manticore began staring at the lamp within the young boy's hands.
"Naruto, I wish for you to defeat this monster."
After turning to the beast, Naruto just smirked.
"Maybe you could have called me sooner, with a goddess and her hunt here, this would have been a slice of pie without me, and with me it's just overkill."
As Naruto spoke, he was covered in some smoke before coming out dressed in boxing shorts and gloves, his feet covered in bandages.
"Alright ugly, you ready for the bullets these guns can shoot?"
Naruto emphasized his statement by flexing, showing off how his muscles expanded and shrunk at will, while the manticore oddly enough, just chuckled before joining Naruto in his flexing.
"Well, let's see you get through this bullet proofing."
Nico and Bianca wound up sitting in seats, with popcorn and drinks as Naruto put on his show, Percy and his team was just staring in shock, the huntresses were just confused, and Artemis was actually just smirked and shook her head.
The manticore took a right swing at Naruto, who dunk under it and went for a left uppercut, nailing the beast in his jaw.
Percy was the first to break.
"What the bloody surgical matter is going on here? And what did I say?"
Bianca and Nico snickered at Percy, as Bianca spoke up.
"I wished that there be a censor over the bad words around Nico, so Naruto made it so that whenever someone goes to say something bad, they say something else."
Grover was actually getting into the whole thing as he ate some of the popcorn and shouted out for Naruto to use specific moves.
Nico stopped shouting with Grover long enough to speak.
"Before we got here to this school, me and Bianca found a strange lamp in an antique store, Bianca got it for me just to humor me, but it turns out that those three dollars were worth it, cause after I rubbed the lamp, Naruto came out and introduced himself."
Bianca scoffed.
"The store owner thought he was haggling us out of our last three dollars, which he was, because he glorified the lamp more towards Nico because he thought I was too smart. Naruto said the salesman had tried to rub the lamp already, but he refused to come out, something about him being too greedy."
Artemis scoffed.
"Of course, what do you expect of men?"
Percy just frowned towards the young girl, Thalia appeared to be more annoyed then usual around the girls, while Grover was torn between excitedly shouting with Nico as Naruto toyed with the manticore and fawning over the girl that spoke.
Artemis spoke again, this time shouting towards the 'boxing duo'.
"Uzumaki, quit fooling around and finish your fight already."
Naruto just shrugged before dodging the next tail swipe as he punched the manticore into the woods, where he flew towards and off a cliff.
Naruto spun around to face them as he magically switched back to his flame cloak, this time with black silk like pants and sandals.
"So, come to reconsider my words Artemis?"
Artemis scoffed as everyone there stared at her.
"No, the answer is the same now as it was then, I will not marry you."
Naruto suddenly became rather tiny as he ended up sitting on Nico's shoulder crying about rejection.
Artemis smirked as she shook her head, her hunters glaring at the man for even bothering to ask such a question.
Thalia, Annabeth, and Grover each just stared at the man as if he grew a second head.
Percy once again, lost his cool.
"What the thalibeth is going on here?"
Percy proceeded to slap his forehead after he finished, Grover and Nico both were having trouble breathing properly, while Bianca just giggled.
The huntresses and the girls were all glaring at him.
Artemis scoffed.
"Naruto's magic is forcing him to say it."
No sooner had she said it than Naruto was standing next to her, pouting towards her.
"Must you ruin the fun?"
The moment he placed a hand on Artemis' shoulder, he was shot in his opposing shoulder.
"Really?"
Turning, Naruto saw Zoe preparing another arrow.
"Remove your hand from my lady or receive another."
Artemis sighed as she spoke to her hunters.
"No worries, Zoe, Naruto is decent enough, after all, he swore upon the river styx to never upset me."
Naruto chuckled.
"Anything for a friend Artemis."
Pulling the arrow out, Naruto continued.
"So, how is Olympus doing? Been centuries since I've seen any of you after all."
Artemis actually smiled.
"Aphrodite still complains every now and then about you rejecting her while Hephaestus still laughs over it. Ares still wants to fight you, complaining about your whole peace speech, while Athena still speaks about enjoying more of that tea of yours. Other than that, Apollo and Hermes are still planning that bachelor party for if I ever say yes."
Naruto just stared at her as he spoke rather quickly.
"Which, I will not join them on."
Artemis smirked.
"And here I am calling all men pig-headed idiots."
Naruto smiled as the non-hunter girls giggled a bit.
Zoe turned to Artemis with a question.
"My lady, I am sure the rest of the girls as well as myself are all rather curious as to how you know this man."
Artemis smiled towards her hunters as she spoke.
"Well, Naruto here is an immortal with literally infinite power. However, that power comes at a price; he can only access this power through the use of another requesting him to use it. He can bend the very fabric of space and time, if only another asks him to do so."
Naruto smirked.
"However, there are still limits; I can't bend space without the permission of the god of that domain. I actually can mess with fire as much as I want due to Hestia being such a nice gal. but if you ask me to say bring someone back from the dead, I would have to go and talk to hades about it, which means I would have to go and find a soul to replace the soul I wished to get, though Hades has been rather understanding in most cases and hears me out more often the his two brothers."
Nico smiled as he jumped onto Naruto's back.
"And he chose us to listen to."
Naruto laughed loudly, his laugh sounding more like the heroic laugh that Percy has heard before on television, though it sounded more natural.
"Well, you both needed a big brother after all."
Nico and Bianca both smiled as Naruto pulled Nico over his shoulder and Bianca to his side in order to give them a hug.
Artemis chuckled a bit at the interactions.
Thalia started to fidget a bit, thinking of her own brother, several hunters actually copying her.
Artemis spoke loudly enough to be heard over Naruto and the siblings.
"Speaking of siblings, specifically sisters, I have a proposition for Bianca."
Naruto smirked.
"So your gonna offer her a spot?"
Artemis nodded.
Percy and the siblings looked a bit confused, with Percy groaning.
"Can't someone explain things so the unenlightened can understand? What proposition is she talking about?"
Naruto looked at the boy, acting as if he just noticed him.
"Well, hello young people who were completely ignored by accident."
Percy was the only one who was going to call the immortal out on that, until Annabeth stepped forward to stop him.
"Hello, my name is Annabeth and this is Thalia, Grover, and Percy."
Naruto frowned as he stared at Percy.
"I am sorry your parents hated you."
Percy stared in shock, while several others just looked confused.
Bianca giggled as she looked to Artemis.
"You said something about a proposition?"
Artemis, after staring at Naruto questioningly, wondering what he meant, answered her.
"I wish to invite you to join my hunt."
Percy, after deciding to ignore the blond immortal, turned to speak.
"But she has to come to camp half-blood. It is where she belongs."
Naruto gave the boy a deadpanned look.
Bianca switched between looking towards Artemis and Percy, looking slightly confused.
Zoe just scoffed.
"As if that matters, she will choose where she goes by herself."
Bianca turned to Naruto.
"What do you think I should do?"
Naruto just chuckled.
"Bianca, no matter what anyone says, this is your choice, and there is no right or wrong answer."
Percy was rather loud with his interruption.
"Like Henrietta there isn't a wrong answer."
Percy groaned after he heard what he said instead of hell.
Even some hunters were beginning to laugh at him.
Annabeth decided to take pity on the boy.
"If you don't want to sound ridiculous, then you should stop speaking so much."
Percy just pouted.
Naruto smiled wider at Bianca.
"However, I do have a method for you to pick the most logical path and make it fun."
Nico was bouncing on his toes as he encouraged Bianca to let Naruto make it fun, while Percy crossed his arms as he made his opinion known.
"The logical choice is to come to camp."
The hunters actually started to ready their bows to shoot the boy in order to shut him up.
Bianca smiled as she stopped Nico from jumping about.
"Alright, Naruto, I wish for you to help me make this decision the fun way."
Naruto's smile grew bigger as he snapped his fingers.
Everything grew dark as gameshow music began to play, before a light shined down to show Naruto in an orange tuxedo, with black dress shirt, and a red tie.
"Welcome, to the show I like to call, Choose that Camp! Each camp will have one representative, and each will point out what makes them special, before answering some questions of our little maiden, which will aid our young and lovely contestant, in making her choice."
The hunters, along with Nico, Thalia, Grover, and Annabeth were each sitting in bleachers as Bianca sat in a rather comfortable chair; Artemis off to the right side of the stage, sitting in a throne, while on the left was an inflatable centaur that would look less out of place if it were in an episode of my little pony.
On a lower level, in front of the insta-taur, Percy sat, looking lost and confused, while Zoe was in a similar state, in front of Artemis.
Naruto smiled, his teeth gleaming in the light.
"And, the two debating for her attention, for Camp Half-Blood, we have Percy Jackson."
There was a pause as a neon sign lit up saying to applaud, which only Grover put any real effort into.
"And, arguing on behalf of the Hunters of Artemis, we have Zoe Nightshade."
The Neon sign once again asked for them to applaud. This time the huntresses giving a bit more enthusiasm.
Percy groaned about biased brats, though he did notice that Nico and Grover were mostly just getting into the spirit and having fun with it.
Naruto waved his hands to get the audience to settle down a bit before continuing.
"Now, normally, I would allow the leaders of said camps to answer some questions before calling on a representative to speak about how they have enjoyed their time within the corresponding camp, however, as you can see, we are missing someone, so I just chose the two leaders of the groups to represent the camps, and since one leader cannot argue, the other is out of luck. Sorry Artemis, but I can't play favorites here."
Artemis chuckled.
"It's alright, I prefer it be fair anyways, I have full faith in my lieutenant to convince this girl the hunt is right for her."
Naruto smiled, just nodding his head.
"Alright then, with that slight change comes some changes with the setup as well. The representatives will get to say what makes their leaders special. First up Zoe Nightshade, what is the best thing about Artemis?"
Zoe actually looked a bit flustered as everyone just watched her, waiting for her answer.
"Our lady is the goddess of the hunt, moon, childbirth and maidenhood. She is fair and understanding and has taught us many things about the land."
Percy just sat there confused about everything, almost blurting out several times about things, though he was unable to make a sound, he still tried.
Naruto smiled, as he ignored the boy.
"Well, let's see what Camp Half-wit has to respond with."
Percy, as well as the others from camp half-blood, just sat there in shock.
Naruto smirked.
"Maybe if you behaved and didn't whine so much, I wouldn't have to insult you. Now answer the question, before I sow your mouth shut."
Percy glared a glare worthy of Poseidon, as the water around them rippled with agitation.
"Chiron, the immortal centaur, and trainer of heroes is who leads Camp Half-BLOOD. He teaches plenty of survival skills, that any demi-god would need, while you live with your real family in basically a home made by your godly parent."
Naruto smirked back as he interrupted.
"Guess Hermes has a lot more fun than we give him credit for."
Percy's glare flared up once more; to the point that Grover thought he was trying to copy Annabeth's Athena like glare. The lovely green eyes did dampen the impact though. The crashing waves in the distance however, made plenty of those present glad they were away from the Cliffside that was nearby.
Percy was stopped the moment Naruto slapped him with a lovely handbag.
"Knock it off Bag boy, you are ruining the gameshow."
Percy had a twitch in his eye.
Artemis just shook her head, while Zoe just smirked.
Bianca looked uncomfortable as she asked a question.
"If I go to camp half-blood, would I have to deal with that all the time?"
Zoe was the one to answer her.
"Not all the time, but you will have to deal with children from every god that has a demi-god, and each has their own set of abilities, such as the daughter of Zeus, who controls lightening, the children of Ares who are rather similar to their father and about as brutish as he. Or maybe a son of Aphrodite will try to get your attention; they do have their charmspeak after all. Maybe one of Apollo's children will seek to add you to the many hearts they captured."
Percy looked a bit lost, and honestly confused, while Annabeth and Thalia were yelling at him to point out good things about camp.
"Apollo's children aren't that bad… Apollo's children aren't that bad."
Even the hunters of Artemis looked to be showing pity for Percy at this point.
Thalia however threw a bottle of water at Percy's head.
"Say something positive!?"
Percy looked at Thalia for all of two seconds.
"Yeah, Apollo's children are not that bad, they know how to fall in love properly, I'm sure."
Thalia threw another bottle at Percy, who just ducked out of the way.
Annabeth tried her hardest to hide her embarrassment, while Grover and Nico were still chuckling over the two's antics, when Naruto started speaking.
"Well, there has to be some rules, for without rules, there can be no order, and without order, how can we cause chaos?"
Naruto looked rather evil for a moment there.
Artemis snickered when she remembered some things Naruto had done to some of the other gods, usually after they annoyed her, in order to get on her good side.
Apollo still couldn't look at salmon the same way.
Naruto looked between Percy and Thalia as Bianca actually spoke up.
"What is with the handbag you threw at Percy?"
Naruto gave a baffled expression for a sec, before gaining a look of realization. "He said his name was Percy, which is literally just purse, with a y at the end. I will be nicer and less insulting of his name when he stops being a Debbie downer. Now on with the show."
Naruto was back to his gameshow smile as he pulled out some cue cards. "So, since Purse-man there chose to defend some of the campers instead of naming off Chiron's more appealing characteristics, he gets one more try."
Percy glared at the man for his joke on his name. "Chiron has plenty of great things going for him, he has trained some of the greatest heroes throughout Greek history. Odysseus, Perseus, Theseus, and plenty of other yeuseus that I can't name off the top of my head. I can't recall any heroes trained by Artemis."
Naruto gave Percy a deadpanned stare. "You were quoting Disney, weren't you?"
Percy said nothing as he shifted his eyes back and forth. "I have no clue what you are talking about."
Everyone deadpanned at him, Annabeth facepalmed. Percy blushed as he sank into his seat, before being bombarded by popcorn from the crowd. Thalia had thrown another water bottle.
As Percy was being trashed over his lack of knowledge over Chiron's achievements, Naruto stepped forward to get things under control.
As everyone was finally done throwing things at the boy, yet before Naruto could speak up, a purse was thrown at Percy from the back of the bleachers, where an audience member that looked like Naruto, himself jumped behind the bleachers to hide.
Naruto just shook his head as he pulled a small mic on his collar up to his mouth, speaking lowly so as to not be heard all that well, asking for 'security' to get the 'ruffian' that ignored him.
Artemis rolled her eyes at the immortal's actions. She recalled how the blond managed to gain immortality and all the power at his disposal. He had dropped from a space rift, had enough power that the big three had chosen to intercept him.
He had hidden himself away to the point he even evaded herself. The one hunt she failed.
He had wound up revealing himself when someone found a djinn crystal, saved the maiden that released it, then went and sealed the rift. He never explained how he dealt with the djinn, but apparently the djinn had been weakened to the point of being jokes among the immortals and gods alike.
Naruto once told her he tricked them into giving their powers to himself, altering his to a point. Naruto had all the powers of the djinn; with a great deal of freedom they never knew.
Upon meeting the blond, they had a battle. They had fought for several nights, Naruto explaining why fighting was not the answer throughout the entire thing.
He even talked about what they could be doing instead of fighting, having gone so far as to end up chatting about themselves.
Yes, she and Naruto were fighting to the point of the fight itself being background noise to their conversation. She had fun during the fight, and he was interesting to speak with. She will forever regret explaining their battle when she returned to Olympus.
Apollo still teased her about having a weird first date.
Aphrodite had soon found herself looking for the man that 'caught' the Huntress' eye, only to return empty handed and disappointed. Artemis had decided, after Apollo clarified that Aphrodite did not sleep with the blond, that Naruto was her friend.
It wasn't until much later, after a couple more 'dates' as Apollo called them, that Naruto asked her out properly.
Artemis had at first questioned their bond at that point and had asked Apollo to figure out his endgame. And apparently, having a spar every now and then, while chatting through it and getting to know one another had led the blond to gain feelings for her.
She had explained her choice to remain a virgin goddess forever. And he simply replied that they didn't need sex to be happy with one another.
Artemis didn't usually have much trouble finding his 'lamp' that wasn't always a lamp, when she felt like visiting her friend.
The thing about Naruto, was that unlike a normal djinn, he has more freedom with who's wishes he granted. The blond was also much more kind with how he granted the wishes.
Naruto interrupted her thoughts as he spoke. "And now, back from the commercial break, we have Camp Half-Blood standing at 4 points, and Camp Hunter standing at 12."
Naruto chose to ignore the questions of several people asking about the points and how they got so high when he barely asked two questions.
"Okay Bianca, what would you like to ask of the two representatives now? Any question at all, on 'Pick Your Camp!'"
Bianca watched the blond wish granter, and as she already knew what her answer was, she would always enjoy doing these silly things with her two guys.
Both her baby brother, and her older one.
Bianca had always watched over Nico and had admitted that she at times became stressed over it.
Then Naruto swoops into their lives and douses them in a bucket of orbeez. She had even got some stuck in her hair. Naruto had taken over being their guardian and allowed her to enjoy her youth while she had it.
Naruto had done so much for the two of them and had even told them a bit about worlds they never realized were real. And yes, he did take Nico's silly questions about his mythomagic game seriously.
They even made theories about how the cards stats compare to the real thing. The two were rather smart when they put in the effort.
But Naruto had once mentioned how he can't grant wishes for immortals, and while he would be able to stay with Nico, raise, guide, and protect him.
If she joined Artemis and became immortal, she would lose her boys. She would never sit around a campfire, roasting marshmallows as Naruto described his adventures with team seven. Never to tease Nico when he got his first crush, like how he teased her over her small crush on Naruto.
Yes, she admitted it, and she still liked the man. It was comparable to when a girl said she wanted to marry her father. The man was twice her age, not only was he too old for her, but she would die while he lived on.
Naruto had explained how a relationship between them one night as Nico slept. He couldn't grant immortality, only a king of a pantheon could. Which meant he would have to hold her, along with Nico and every child they had in his arms as they died.
Having it explained like that, brought it into a whole new perspective.
Bianca was brought out of her thoughts as Naruto poked her nose. "Boop."
Bianca smiled as she looked at the cue cards Naruto gave her, giggling over the silly pictures he drew instead of any actual questions.
Bianca threw the cards up into the air as she leaned back and crossed her legs, as if she was the most important person in the world. "I still haven't heard any arguments for Camp Disney in all honesty. Let's talk health benefits."
Nico was the only one laughing, while everyone else were just confused.
Artemis, having known the rules Naruto had, knew a lost cause when she saw one. Well, at least the young ones were having fun.
She even caught some hunters smiling over the teasing towards Camp Half-Blood.
Mostly Percy though.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=End=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Alright, I had this fiction sitting around for the longest time. It was seriously one of the first Percy Naruto ideas I had, and it was just sitting on my USB for maybe the full ten years.
I had forgotten about it, completely ignored it's existence.
So I figured I would toss it out there for you all to read it. Same with my other Percy Jackson stories, if you want to adopt this one, just pm me.
I seriously don't think I can actually finish any of these Olympian crossovers, I don't have enough knowledge of these things.
I might write one or two more of these chapters depending on my stress levels though.
Hope you enjoy it I guess.
