Hello all Storm here with a new story! Though this also sort of a reboot of "Chosen One of Divine Justice", as that one kind of went off the rails, and the fact that Naruto is a Saiyan kind of takes away the challenge, as even without going Super Saiyan he could take down any of the gods without a problem since I doubt any of them would be capable of destroying the entire planet with a finger. So yeah, that one likely won't be continued, but who knows, in the mean time this story shares some ideas with it but being different, for one Naruto is a demigod and not all-powerful but still very power as you'll find out. Also minor crossover with "God of War (2018)" as well. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
"I swear, this is the last time I'm letting you drag me to these stupid dances." Said a fourteen-year-old boy, with an annoyed expression on his face.
The boy had spiky fire-red hair, pale skin, three unique whisker marks on his cheeks, and electric blue eyes. Along with being surprisingly muscular for his age, while also having several blue runic tattoos along his arms. With his attire consisting of dark reddish-brown steel-toed boots, baggy black pants tucked into them, a sleeveless off-white tunic, opera-length fingerless black gloves with red-brown studded leather straps around them, and a blue-grey leather vest.
With him currently pulling ribbons out of his hair and wiping lipsticks off his face, before giving his friend an annoyed expression when she kept giggling.
"It's not funny, Bianca! This is already the third time, tonight." The boy said while muttering the latter part, not believing he's been swarmed by three groups of girls already, no matter what he does.
"It's kind of funny, Naruto." Said Bianca, smiling in amusement at the whiskered redhead.
Bianca was a fourteen-year-old girl with long, silky dark brown hair that went down to the middle of her back, an olive skin tone showing her Italian heritage, and dark brown, nearly black, eyes. With her wearing knee-high boots with laces going all the way up them, dark blue jeans, a long-sleeved dark purple shirt, and a black tank top with a red skull over it.
"If you think it's so funny, why don't you go join the rest of the lunatics in surrounding some other poor guy." Retorted Naruto as he ran a hand through his hair, making sure he got all the ribbons out, along with checking if he got all the lipstick off as well.
"No thanks, it's much more fun watching." Bianca said, only for them to look at a third person snickering from their seat on the bleachers.
The person being another boy and was twelve-years-old with messy and shaggy jet-black hair, an olive skin tone, and the same dark brown, nearly black, eyes as Bianca. Wearing black shoes, black jeans, a gray shirt, and a brown aviators jacket. With him also shuffling several trading cards and a few figurines placed around him.
"Yeah, you only watch, because you just want to kiss Na-" Said the boy, before Bianca quickly covered his mouth and glared at him with a light blush on her cheeks.
"Shut it, Nico!" Bianca hissed, giving her brother a warning look, only for her blush to intensify when Naruto wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her close.
"Awww, no need to be shy, Bianca. I already know you're much prettier than any other girl here, so no worries about losing my attention." Said Naruto, smirking at her red face before she quickly pushed him.
"I-I am n-n-not jealous! Y-you c-can kiss any g-girl you want! I won't care!" Said Bianca, crossing her arms while looking away.
"Does that include you?" Naruto asked with his smirk growing, while Nico laughed at his sisters expression.
"N-Naruto! S-st-stop te-teasing me!" Bianca said, only for the redhead to wrap an arm around her again.
"Who's teasing." Naruto stated, now smiling at her, making the brunette smile slightly in return.
"Ugh, if you're both going to do that all night, I'm making a run for it." Nico said while gagging at how close they were, causing Bianca's eyes to widen before she stepped away from Naruto again.
"Nico!" Said Bianca, glaring at her brother, before instantly glaring at Naruto when she he started snickering.
"It's not funny!" Bianca said, not liking it when they both teased her like.
"It's kind of funny, Bianca." Naruto said, making the girl pout at having her words thrown back at her.
Before Naruto smiled at the siblings, glad for the chance to have met them after coming to Westover, when he was finally able to escape…that place.
'Huh…it's actually been two years since then, hasn't it.' Naruto thought in surprise, realizing it's been two years since he'd gotten away and managed to hide himself from…those people.
Having never really had any hope that he'd ever be able to escape them, but always looking for an opportunity on where he'd be able to get away. And the opportunity had finally come two years ago, when something big had happened, something that took their attention off of him long enough to get away. With Naruto refusing to stop running, knowing if he was brought back, things would only get worse.
'I'm still not sure if I was lucky or not with how she was able to find me, even if she did give some protection.' Naruto thought, placing a hand on the side of his neck, where a rune was placed to keep him hidden from anyone searching for him.
He hadn't stopped running until he arrived in America, which would be the last place they'd look for him, especially this close to New York. But that never got rid of his nervousness that, eventually, they'll catch up and try to drag him back. Or if that woman ever showed up and wanted payment for offering her assistance. With Naruto being unsure which would be worse.
It had only been after that he met Bianca and Nico that he started relaxing, being able to open up for once. Learning how they'd been enrolled into Westover Hall after being picked up by a lawyer in the hotel/casino, they'd been staying in for a few months. With their enrollment being paid for by a trust fund their parents left them.
At least that's what they believed, but Naruto knew the truth, or what he was able to figure out on his own. Knowing that whoever the "lawyer" was, likely wasn't human. And while the trust fund was one of their parents paying for their enrollment, it was most likely from whichever one of their parents that weren't human. And with the aura of darkness and death around them, Naruto could guess just who their father was.
'And I can only guess the hotel is owned by the Lotus Eaters, meaning a few months was more likely a few decades.' Naruto thought when he first realized who Bianca and Nico were.
But despite the danger that'd come from just associating with them, he didn't try leaving, having come to enjoy being around them. Along with the fact they were the first actual friends he's made in his entire life. Enjoying how inquisitive Nico can be about everything, always asking questions and learning new things. As well as his obsession with pirates and his Mythomagic game, something that Naruto still had no idea how it worked.
'Deciphering and understanding runes was easier than trying to figure that game out.' Thought Naruto, still feeling the headache he'd gotten when Nico tried explaining the rules to him.
Plus, the whiskered redhead would admit, his pride did take a major blow when he had never once been able to beat Nico at the game, which the younger boy never failed to let him forget. Which did end with Naruto hanging him up by his feet in the gym, in nothing but his underwear, something that did get Nico to stop. Though the two still got along, with Naruto even helping Nico find the rare Hades figurine he'd been looking for to complete his collection.
While Bianca, Naruto couldn't deny that he really enjoyed being around her, along with helping her start coming out of her shell and become more open and confident in herself. As well as being able to relax more with someone else helping look after her brother. Leading to Bianca being able to enjoy more time to herself rather than always looking after Nico.
So, despite Naruto's desire to not get dragged into anything related to gods, let alone the problems of the Greek Gods, he wasn't going to abandon Bianca or Nico.
'And with Thorn and Underwood here, I get the feeling more problems will be arriving sooner rather than later.' Naruto thought in annoyance, being able to sense Thorn was a monster in disguise and Grover Underwood, a new transfer student, who he guessed is a satyr.
Though, Naruto was pulled from his thoughts when he felt three new people enter the school alongside Underwood, making him look towards the doors with a frown.
"Naruto? Is something wrong?" Bianca asked when she noticed his expression, with Nico look at him as well, both of them being confused at what he seemed to be looking at.
"…Nothing, just a weird feeling I got is all." Replied Naruto, with Bianca slowly nodding while glancing at where he was looking, not seeing anything out of the ordinary.
Before looking around the gym to see if something was wrong, having always had a strange sense to feel if something wasn't right.
"I'm gonna go get a drink. Either of you want one?" Naruto asked, looking at the siblings, with Nico shaking his head as he went back to shuffling his cards.
"No thanks, I'm good." Said Bianca, shaking her head, with the whiskered redhead nodding before he began walking over to the snack table.
All while never taking his eyes off the door, sensing Underwood and the three unknown signatures getting closer, having felt them encounter Thorn before continuing on their way. With it not being long before he saw them enter the gym, seeing Underwood with three girls. Reaching at the table, Naruto got a glass of punch while getting a feel for the girls signatures.
'Let's see, one of them feels wild and free, like nothing would be able to hold it back if unleashed, I'd say that one is connected to the ocean. The second, that one's a little difficult, but it seems calm and focused, as if they're thinking over every possible scenario that could happen the moment they entered the gym, so most likely a child of a war deity or one connected to knowledge and wisdom. And the third…' Naruto thought, pausing slightly as he felt the third girls signature, scowling at the familiar feeling of it.
The feeling of being in the middle of a storm, the feeling of every cell in your body lighting up with energy and power, the feeling of being in the presence of something truly unstoppable and without mercy. But not just the feeling, it was the scent of ozone that even from here he could smell clinging to the girl, the same scent he knew clung to him as well.
'Lightning.' Thought Naruto, hating the feeling and the memories it brought up before taking a deep breath, knowing he couldn't lose control of himself.
Turning to face the now identified demigods and satyr, Naruto saw the girls that felt like lightning drag Underwood onto the dancefloor and tried blending in with the students. While the girl that felt like the sea and the calm girl remained off to the side, talking with each other. Crossing his arms, Naruto looked at the two girls until the calm one soon caught him staring, making the sea girl look at him with narrowed eyes. Before he gave them a mocking wave, causing their eyes to widen, even more so when he walked over to them, which also gave him a better look at them.
Both of them looked to be fourteen-years-old, with the first girl having long curly honey blonde hair that went down past her shoulders, tanned skin, a slender and athletic body, and captivating storm grey eyes that shined with curiosity and intelligence. Her attire consisted of black boots, navy blue jeans, a dark red shirt and a grey jacket over it. She also had a necklace, with several clay beads and a college ring on it.
And the second girl having long black hair at the top that changed to violet tips at the bottom, large ocean green eyes akin to emeralds that shined through her pale skin, wearing a dark blue long sleeve jacket over a gray hoodie, a violet t-shirt underneath, a blue skirt that hid her black sport shorts and lastly violet socks worn under a pair blue and white running shoes.
"Hello there." Naruto said in a similar manner to a certain Jedi Master while smiling at the two girls, who quickly shook off their shock at him coming over to them.
"Hello." Said the blonde girl, looking at him with a calculating look in her eyes.
"H-hi." The black-haired girl said warily.
"This may seem forward, but would either of you lovely ladies care for a dance?" Naruto asked with a short bow as he held his hand out, surprising the girls again before they traded a look, with the blonde girl soon taking his hand.
"Sure, as long as you don't mind dancing with Andie, afterwards." The girl replied, causing the now named Andie to glare at her, with Naruto merely smirking.
"I'd be more than happy to dance with two beauties such as yourselves." Naruto said with a wink, with the two blushing lightly at the compliments before the black-haired girl immediately scoffed.
"Yeah, not in a million years, Annabeth. Though you're more than welcome to spend the night with the Casanova." Andromeda said with a scowl before stalking off into the crowd.
With the duo staring at her, with the now named Annabeth looking a bit guilty, knowing that she had been pushing a button, there. Before Naruto guided the blonde girl onto the dancefloor, placing one hand on her hip and taking her hand with his other, while her free hand went to his shoulder.
"Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto introduced as the two began dancing.
"Annabeth Chase, and sorry about Andromeda, she's a good person. But she was betrayed by a guy we both had a crush on a couple years back, with the wound still being rather fresh." Replied Annabeth, still having a calculating look in her eyes, as if she was trying to solve a new puzzle.
"Well, Annabeth Chase…would you mind telling me what three demigods are doing here? Especially two of the Big Three's demigods." Said Naruto, making Annabeth freeze in shock before quickly shaking her head.
"You know." Annabeth stated, not expecting him to be aware of the gods, given how Grover had just told them that neither Naruto nor the di Angelo's were aware of their heritage.
But now the Uzumaki's admitting he knows, even more so, he can somehow tell Andromeda and Thalia were children of the Big Three.
"I'm aware, it's also not that hard when none of you are suppressing your energy. I'm sure Thorn already knows about you as well." Naruto replied, surprising her again at his knowledge.
"How do you know Thorn's a monster? Why haven't you dealt with him, yet, if you already know? Were you trained before? Have you been to camp?" Questioned Annabeth, unable to help herself in getting answers about how he knows so much already.
"In order, it's not that hard to sense monsters when you know what they feel like, not helped that he makes no effort to hide his distaste for demigods. I haven't dealt with him because he hasn't done anything, yet, and I'd prefer not revealing myself unless absolutely necessary. I have been trained before. And no, I've not been to any camp." Said Naruto, with Annabeth nodding slowly.
"That…makes sense, I guess, as there'd be no telling if he's working for someone if he's gone this long without making a move. It'd be good to see if he'd have any useful information or lead us to whoever he's working with." Annabeth said, making Naruto smile at her.
"Beautiful and smart, I'm guessing that means you're a daughter of Athena." Naruto stated, making the blonde girl blushing at the compliment.
While she, Andromeda, and Thalia were some of the most beautiful women in Camp Half-Blood that weren't children or descendants of Aphrodite. They had little to no experience with dating or being in a relationship, given Thalia's and Andromeda's status as the children of Zeus and Poseidon, respectively, made them practically unapproachable. While she was the considered one of the most intelligent of her mother's children and the Counselor of Cabin 6, putting her in a similar situation to Thalia and Andromeda. Giving them rather low tolerance to flirting and teasing.
The closest that any of them had to an actual relationship was Thalia's brief relationship with Luke. As well as her and Andromeda once having a one-sided crush on Luke prior to his betrayal. Only for Thalia and Luke's relationship to be very short-lived with Thalia being turned into a tree. Nor were they in a situation to really go anywhere with it, given how they were on the run from monsters and various gods. While whatever feelings that Andromeda had developed for Luke from him being her mentor and first true friend in Camp Half-Blood immediately turned to hate after he nearly killed her after the Quest to reclaim the Master Bolt. With the pain and trauma from being betrayed by someone she was romantically interested in such a way caused Andromeda to develop a disdain for being in a relationship and a slight case of androphobia.
The only exceptions being Chiron, Grover, her father, and her half-brother, Tyson, once she warmed up to the latter.
That was actually the reason why Annabeth tried to push for Naruto to dance with her, as well. Having hoped to use this dance as a form of shock therapy while convince Andromeda to find a guy to dance with, before they noticed Naruto staring at them.
"Y-yeah, I am. A-and do you know who your parent is?" Annabeth asked, interested in learning who his godly parent is, unable to place who it could be.
She'd almost say it was Zeus, given how similar his eyes were to Thalia's own, but couldn't be sure.
"Yes, I know the bastard." Said Naruto with his smile dropping, making Annabeth frown at this, seeing he apparently didn't get along with his father, if she guessed right.
"Who is it?" Questioned Annabeth, knowing it helped narrow down the list, but still couldn't see any defining features, not to mention being confused at the tattoos he had.
"You really don't want to know." Naruto replied, with the Daughter of Athena's frown deepening, but relented, aware that a lot of demigods didn't get along with their godly parents, only for her to suddenly freeze as her eyes widened.
"They're gone." Annabeth said, looking to where Bianca and Nico were, only to see they were gone.
With Naruto quickly letting her go and whirling around, but saw that both of them were gone, making him mentally curse at not paying more attention.
"You get your friends, I'll find them!" Said Naruto as he took off running before Annabeth could say anything, leaving her to simply nod as she looked for where her friends were, but saw Andromeda was gone as well.
'By the gods Seaweed Brain, why do you always do that?!' Annabeth thought, groaning that Andromeda's likely run off to save Bianca and Nico, herself.
Shaking her head, Annabeth quickly looked around for Thalia and Grover before running through the crowd to see where they danced off to.
*With Naruto*
Naruto had run out of the gym and began searching for any sign of the di Angelo's or Thorn, only to not find any trace of them in the school before finding his way to the entry hall. Scowling in anger when he saw a few black spikes that were about a foot long. The Uzumaki grabbed one, catching the faint scent of poison coming off of it, along with one that had a few drops of blood.
'If he hurt them, I'm going to tear his fucking head off!' Naruto mentally swore before going outside, finding several tracks in the snow leading into the woods.
Following the path, which was lit by old-fashioned lamplights, Naruto held up his hand and soon heard the sound of an object flying through the air. Not reacting as a war axe flew into his waiting hand, with the blade being a dark grey color with a golden inlaid silver edge with runes along it, a wooden shaft with golden designs reinforcing it, and a matching golden pommel.
With his weapon in hand, Naruto ran down the path while sensing Bianca, Nico, and Thorn up ahead along with the girl who felt like the sea. Only to run faster when he also sensed the other two girls and Underwood moving towards them as well. Not doubting that Thorn will likely have called or summoned allies if he'd taken Bianca and Nico.
Before he soon entered into a clearing, only for his eyes to widen at seeing Thorn, now in his true form of a manticore, standing near a cliff with Bianca, Nico, the other demigods, and the satyr. While hovering behind them was a fully-armed, sleek black military-style airship, with what he guessed were rocket launchers.
'Fucking perfect!' Thought Naruto, not believing that two children of the Big Three couldn't handle a single manticore.
Spotting a discarded spear and shield, likely one of the demigods lost their weapon, Naruto already had a plan forming before he held his axe up. With the Uzumaki immediately throwing it right at the helicopters propellers before he ran towards the spear. The sudden projectile flying past them surprising Thorn, the demigods and the satyr. Even more shocking was when the axe embedded itself in the propellers, which soon became encased in ice, causing the helicopter to begin falling down towards the sea.
With Naruto soon reaching the spear and grabbed it, before pulling his arm back and throwing it straight at Thorn.
"What?! Who-AAAAHHHH!" Thorn shouted in anger at the sight of his helicopter being destroyed, only to scream in pain when the spear stabbed right through his abdomen, shocking the demigods and satyr again.
"What just happened?!" Andromeda yelled in disbelief, wondering how they suddenly went from being surrounded to the helicopter being destroyed and Thorn being hit by Thalia's spear.
"I just had to save your asses, that's what happened!" Said Naruto, narrowing his eyes at the demigods, making everyone look at him.
"N-Naruto?! Wh-wh-what…what just happened?! What is going on?! What was that thing you threw?!" Bianca said, freaking out over what's happening.
First being taken hostage by their vice-principal, then a girl with a sword shows up and is then taken hostage too, before going on about demigods and monsters. Only to be knocked down by some invisible girl, with another showing up with a spear and shield, along with the new transfer student who had goat legs. Now her friend/crush shows up, throws something at a helicopter that covers it in ice before throwing a spear at whatever Thorn was!
The brunette honestly wasn't sure if she's hallucinating or having some crazy nightmare, anymore.
"Hey Bianca, I'm really sorry I got here late, but I promise I'll explain everything. But first…" Naruto said, turning back towards Thorn, grabbing the spear still stabbed through him, making the manticore growl in pain and anger.
"…you're gonna tell me why exactly you tried kidnapping my friends, Thorn. And please talk quickly, I get angry when those I care about are threatened." Said Naruto, crouching down and glaring at Thorn, with the monster returning the glare.
"Uzumaki! I should've realized you were one those fools! I can smell their stench on you!" Thorn growled, making the whiskered redhead smile coldly before twisting the spear again.
"If you know what I am, then you should know compared to the majority of my kind, even the half-bloods, I'm one of the very few nice ones. That can change very quickly if you don't give me what I want." Naruto said, the manticore merely growling in anger while slowly lifting his tail up to strike the Uzumaki in the back.
"Watchout!" Annabeth yelled, seeing Thorn's tail about to stab Naruto.
"DIE!" Roared Thorn as his tail lunged forward.
Only for him to be shocked when Naruto's hand shot out and wrapped around the base of his stinger, before screaming in pure agony when he squeezed it tightly.
"That…was your last mistake." Naruto stated standing up, before with single pull, he ripped Thorn's tail off, much to the shock of the demigods, while Thorn's screams grew louder.
Before Naruto held out his hand, recalling his axe, shocking the group even further that he could summon his weapon like that.
"That's so cool!" Thalia muttered, wishing she could summon her spear like that.
"Awesome! You can throw your axe and then summon it?! It's like in those comics of that guy with the hammer!" Said Nico in excitement and amazement with Naruto resisting the urge to roll his eyes at the ironic comparison.
"The General will have your head boy!" Thorn growled, glaring hatefully at Naruto.
"Your Titan masters can try and fail." Naruto retorted before bringing his axe down on Thorn's neck, decapitating the manticore which dissolved into golden dust.
With the monster dead, Naruto turned towards the demigods and satyr, seeing Annabeth and her friends regarding him warily before he walked up to Bianca and Nico.
"Hey, are you two alright?" Naruto asked, looking them over, with the siblings nodding in response.
"We're fine, Andromeda tried helping us before Thorn grabbed her too. Where did you get that axe!? And where did you learn to use it?!" Nico asked, eager to learn where Naruto got his axe and if he'd be able to get a weapon he could summon too.
"Y-ye-yeah, we're…we're fine. Completely freaking out and questioning what's even real anymore, but other than that perfectly fine!" Said Bianca with a strained smile while trying to calm her continuously rising nerves.
"Right, that's understandable and sorry that you both had to find out about…well…all this, like that. But I will explain it all, I promise." Said Naruto, making Bianca nod slowly and calm down a little, knowing if he made a promise then he'd keep it.
Naruto then turned towards the girls and satyr, only to see Andromeda pointing her sword at him, Annabeth regarding him warily, Underwood holding a set of reed pipes with a nervous expression, and the third girl reclaimed her spear and shield, holding them up as well.
The third girl looked to be the oldest, being fifteen-years-old with spiky black hair that went down to her shoulders and two bangs on each side of her face, a blue highlighted bang and a blue thunder hairpin that seemed to glow. All of which made her blue eyes stand out, like a couple of lightning-filled sapphires on her pale, but beautiful, face while having a splash of freckles across her nose.
As for her clothing, she wore a short sleeved black shirt, with blue lightning on the front, a sleeveless fishnet shirt, while having a black leather jacket worn over them, that also had blue lightning on it, along with having both a white interior and borders. All of which was short enough to expose her midriff.
On her arms, she wore a pair of fishnet arm-sleeves, that started her mid-upper arms and stopped just short of her black fingerless, which has steel knuckled gloves along with blue lightning on them, as well.
On her lower body, she wore dark gray jeans, with a belt that had a blue lightning lock, blue socks and black steel toed hunting boots.
'At least the Olympians are capable of making something beautiful.' Naruto thought looking at her, Annabeth, and Andromeda, along with Bianca, seeing all four were already incredibly beautiful and would only grow more so.
"Who are you?" Questioned Andromeda suspiciously at who this guy was, given how he not only approached her and Annabeth before, now with what he did and knows.
"The guy who saved your asses, after you all let yourselves be defeated like children!" Naruto said, narrowing his eyes at them, making the three frown.
"Hey! We did our best! How're we supposed to know Thorn had a damn helicopter!" Retorted Thalia, glaring at him, only to recoil slightly when he returned the glare,
"Well you're the Daughter of Zeus, aren't you?! God of Lightning and the Sky, why not bring a bolt of lightning down on top of the copter or control the wind to knock it off-course! Or maybe do what I just did, before, and throw your spear at the monster rather than charge at it!" Said Naruto, with the ravenette flinching at his words, unable to come up with a response since he had a point of what she could have done.
"And you, Daughter of Poseidon I'm guessing! Why didn't you use the weapons you had?!" Said Naruto turning to Andromeda.
"I couldn't fight without Bianca and Nico getting hurt! And Thorn would have killed us if we tried jumping into the ocean!" Andromeda said with a frown, not liking to be reprimanded when there was nothing she could do.
"What's on the ground?" Naruto asked calmly, confusing Andromeda at the random question.
"Wh-wha-" Said Andromeda, only to fall silent when the whiskered redhead walked up and looked down at her.
"What. Is. On. The. Ground?" Repeated Naruto, the Daughter of Poseidon gulping at how close he was.
"Sn-snow?" Andromeda replied, with the Uzumaki nodding at this.
"And tell me, what is snow?" Questioned Naruto, with Annabeth's and Thalia's eyes soon widening in realization, before looking down at what he's getting at.
"I-i-i-it's u-u-u-um-um…f-fr-fr-fr-frozen w-wa-" Said Andromeda, only to fall silent in realization.
"Yes, it's frozen water, last I checked, Poseidon can control water. So, unless you have zero training in your literal god-given abilities, then you have no excuse. Remember that the next time you try making a pointless argument, kid." Naruto explained before turning towards Annabeth,
"I'm not a kid!" Andromeda said, willing to admit her faults and that he did have a point, but refused to be talked down to like that, before falling silent when Naruto looked down at her again.
"Would you prefer little girl, instead?" Asked Naruto, only for Andromeda to scoff.
"I don't know, would you like it if I called you, Kitty, with those whiskers of yours?" Andromeda asked, making Naruto become momentarily slack jawed at the comeback before regaining his composure and deciding to continue with his lecture.
"Shall we go over your own mistakes or are you able to figure them out on your own?" Naruto asked, the Daughter of Athena shaking her head while covering her face.
"I…could have attacked Thorn when I was invisible, possibly even killed him if I was able to get close enough. Or I could have distracted him, giving Andromeda an opening to attack along with Thalia and Grover, or let her get Bianca and Nico out of harm's way." Said Annabeth, being able to figure out what she could've done better after Naruto began listing their mistakes.
"Yes, you could have. All of you had several options to choose from to deal with Thorn and the helicopter before being surrounded and left helpless. But, instead, you choose to just rush in recklessly and fight head-on, completely forgetting about your own abilities. You're simply lucky I showed up when I did, otherwise it would have ended much worse." Naruto said, with the three demigods looking down at being reprimanded and unable to make any retorts.
"We're sorry." Annabeth, Andromeda, and Thalia said, only to yelp when Naruto smacked each of them on their heads.
"Don't be sorry, be better." Said Naruto, narrowing his eyes at them, making the three nod in response, seeing it as a lesson they had to learn, while being thankful that nothing too bad happened.
"Uh…can we get some answers, please?!" Bianca asked, waving her hand at them, hoping to finally know what's going on, before Naruto rubbed his eyes while mentally groaning.
"Not yet, unfortunately, we still have a problem." Naruto said with Andromeda, Annabeth, Thalia and Grover tensing, while Bianca moved Nico behind her before looking around warily in case something else jumps out.
"All of you in the trees, come out, now!" Shouted Naruto, turning towards the forest, with the others doing the same, the three demigods ready for what would come out.
Only for a dozen girls, the youngest being ten and the oldest being fourteen, to come out from the trees, all of them carrying bows, while wearing silver parkas and jeans. With them also having determined and suspicious expressions as they looked at Naruto, with a few even looking ready to even shoot him.
"The Hunters?!" Annabeth said in surprise, not expecting the Hunters to be here.
"Oh great, like things weren't bad enough." Muttered Thalia, annoyed that she now had to deal with her least favorite group, as one of the girls stepped forward.
The girl appeared to be fourteen-years-old with her being tall, graceful, and gorgeously beautiful. She had brown eyes, a slightly upturned nose, copper-colored skin, and the silver circlet braided into the top of her long, dark hair gave her the impression of a Persian princess.
"Permission to kill, my lady?" The girl asked, not hesitating in aiming an arrow right at Naruto's heart, much to the demigods shock and disbelief, along with Bianca's and Nico's worry for their friend.
"Seriously Nightshade?! Can you cool it for like five minutes?!" Thalia exclaimed in disbelief that despite her grudge against boys, she'd try to attack Naruto despite likely having seen what he could do.
"You should listen to her. Because if you don't lower your bow, you better pray that the first shot kills me." Naruto warned while holding his axe at the ready, with the axe head soon being encased in ice.
"Peace Zoe, this is not a fight any of us would want." Another girl said, putting a hand on Zoe's arm, lowering her bow.
The second girl looked to be twelve or thirteen, had long silver/white hair, held up by an icy blue headband with white swirling designs while a few strands that framed her face, moonlight pale skin, eyes that were a mix of pale blue, silver and periwinkle with narrow pupils.
Her attire consisted of pale blue fur boots, bandages wrapped around her lower right leg and her left thigh, a dangerously short white kimono, with cloud-like designs along the edges, and held closed by a pale blue obi, a beaded necklace with a large blue stone on the end, bandages wrapped around her arms, pale blue fur gloves, and finally a white fur animal pelt draped across her shoulders. With her own bow looking as if it was made from ice.
"Very well, my lady." Zoe said with a bow to the girl before stepping back, with the second girl then facing Naruto with a wary expression.
"And you must be Artemis then." Stated Naruto, shocking Andromeda, Bianca, and Nico, while Annabeth, Thalia, and Grover were already aware of who the goddess was.
"You know who I am." Artemis said, with Naruto nodding in response,
"It's kind of obvious, plus your…look reminds of me of the last hunter goddess I encountered." Naruto said, with the Moon Goddess raising a brow at this before looking down at herself.
"Yes, despite our…differing beliefs, she has my respect for her skill and hunting prowess's." Said Artemis, knowing who he was talking about, while the Hunters and demigods were only confused at what or who they were talking about.
"Now, I'm sure you'll understand that you'll need to come with me and explain what you're doing so far from your own land and your own kind." Artemis said, narrowing her eyes at Naruto, with the whiskered redhead simply nodding while hooking his axe to one of his pants' belt loops.
"As long as your girl scouts don't do anything to annoy me or try to attack me, the same goes for the rest of the children on that mountain of yours." Naruto replied, the Hunters glaring at him for the insult while Artemis's eye twitched before giving a short nod.
"Okay, Whiskers has definitely just gone up a notch in my book." Thalia whispered to Gover, Annabeth and Andromeda with the former two rolling their eyes at that, not being the least bit surprised given her distaste for the Hunters.
"Then please, would you all join us at our camp? I'm sure all of us can be given some answers." Said Artemis, motioning them to follow her and her Hunters, with Andromeda, Annabeth, Thalia with her being rather reluctant, and Grover followed them
While Naruto looked at Bianca and Nico, nodding and smiling reassuringly at them, before they joined the others and headed for the Hunters camp.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see that Naruto is friends with Bianca and Nico again, along with showing some differences such as Bianca being more confident and open, as well as Naruto's origins. Though as you could likely guess from the title, Naruto here is the Son of Thor, but not the Marvel Thor or Riordanverse Thor, it's the "God of War" Thor, which is also how I'll be modeling most of the Norse Gods after (I'm just ignoring the "Magnus Chase" series as well), so expect them to be cold-blooded, murderous, and cruel, which Naruto experienced growing up in Asgard until managing to escape with some help from a mystery woman.
Before we see him sense the demigods arriving and approaches Annabeth and Andromeda, with the latter having a much different personality due to her having a one-sided crush on Luke due to him being her mentor and first true friend at Camp Half-Blood, only for it to turn to hate after his betrayal and attempt to kill her, making her more closed off to boys. With Naruto and Annabeth dancing and talking to share some information, before noticing Bianca and Nico were gone, leading to Naruto running to save them, summoning his weapon as well (the Levithan Axe). With Naruto arriving in time to save everyone by taking out the helicopter and killing Thorn, while reprimanding Andromeda, Annabeth, and Thalia for their poor planning, though the former gives her own comebacks as well.
Finally we see Naruto calling out the Hunters and Artemis, the latter being able to sense his heritage and takes the more peaceful path tha trying to fight him, before inviting them back to her camp so they can all get some answers. 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.
