A/N: Anyone who wants to do a story where the characters read 'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes' series is allowed to do so as long as they tell me before hand.

I don't own Percy Jackson series or Naruto series, or any of the characters of either series. Nor am I the writer of the Son of the Huntress series

Warning: Read these stories if you haven't before reading this story:

'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Lightning Thief'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Sea of Monsters'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Titan's Curse'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Battle of the Labyrinth'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Last Olympian'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Staff of Hermes'
'The Legacy of the Heroes of Olympus: The Lost Hero'
'The Legacy of the Heroes of Olympus: The Quest for Buford'

I'm going to make this clear to those who don't approve the idea of legacies in Camp Half-Blood.

One: If you actually looked into Greek Mythology you know there been plenty of Greek Legacies. Heck Frank's ancestors were Greek legacies before they joined the Romans.

Two: Time and time again in the Percy Jackson series they mention many famous names Rick Riordan used as demigods Greek Demigods reaching adulthood-George Washington, Amelia Earhart, F.D.R., General Sherman and many more-many of which had children of their own which would make their kids legacies.

Three: About Naruto not being wise enough to be a Legacy of Athena, keep in mind in future reference for any sequel fanfictions of Percy Jackson that when Percy and Annabeth have kids, if they have any of Percy's personality they might not have much interest in school and thus not show much of any of Athena's wisdom. So I should have a pass on the matter with Naruto because of that fact.

Four: Since I made Naruto a legacy of Athena through Minato, he can't have any connections with the Romans as for any god/goddess, Olympian or Minor to have a legacy they must have children who later grow up to have children of their own. Minerva doesn't have kids, and it been clear before the return of Athena's Parthenos the idea of the matter was saw as a disgrace to the Romans as it meant Minerva broke her vow in their eyes. Not to mention the fact that the feud between Greek and Romans was kept alive for so long because of Athena.

Also for anyone who thinks it be okay having a child/Legacy of Artemis or Hestia to meet the romans, although Diana or Vesta wasn't treated any worse from their Greek counterparts as the comparison of Athena and Minerva, keep in mind they also made a vow to not have any kids, and since Romans take their vows so seriously they have their own god whose domain is over vows I think they would frown upon the idea of Diana and Vesta breaking their vows. Although I did enjoy The Son of the Huntress series, even though Naruto saved Reyna and Hylla the fact any more Romans would accept the idea there being a child and grandchild of two virgin goddesses feels a bit far fetch.

Hazel Introduces Her Brother: Nico di Angelo

Hazel felt like she'd just introduced two nuclear bombs. Now she was waiting to see which one exploded first.

Until that morning, her brother Nico had been the most powerful demigod she knew. The others at Camp Jupiter saw him as a traveling oddball, about as harmless as the fauns. Hazel knew better. She hadn't grown up with Nico, hadn't even know him very long. But she knew Nico was more dangerous than Reyna, or Octavian, or maybe Jason.

Then she met Percy and Yugito.

She doubt Yugito was more powerful than Nico, but she definitely stronger than any children or legacy of Apollo she met. Then Yugito summoned that red cloak around her body and used it to grab hold of the gorgons and save Frank. Then she find out Yugito is a Jinchuriki of a monstrous cat with two tails and is from another world where there are eight other tailed beast each sealed in a human like her and that Yugito is one of few that mastered the tailed.

Then there was Percy. At first when she saw him stumbling up the highway with the old lady in his arms and Yugito guarding their back, Hazel had thought he might be a god in disguise. Even though he was beat up, dirty, and stooped with exhaustion, he had an aura of a power. He had the good looks of a Roman god, with sea-green eyes and wind blown black hair.

She ordered Frank not to fire on him. SHe thought the gods might be testing them. She'd heard myths like that: a kid with an old lady begs for shelter, and when the rude mortals refuse-boom, they get turned into banana slugs.

Then Percy had controlled the river to create a whirlpool to finish destroying the gorgons after Yugito brought them down to the Little Tiber. He'd turned a pen into a bronze sword. He'd stirred up the whole camp with talk about graecus.

A son of the sea god...

Long ago, Hazel had been told that a descendant of Neptune would save her. But could Percy really take away her curse? It seemed too much to hope for.

Percy and Nico shook hands. They studied each other warily, and Hazel fought the urge to run. If these two busted out the magic swords, things could get ugly. And if Yugito decided to step in, it could get destructive.

Nico didn't appear scary. He was skinny sloppy in his rumpled black clothes. His hair, as alway, looked like he just rolled out of bed.

Hazel remembered when she'd first met him and Hiruzen. The first time she'd seen him draw that black sword of his, she'd almost laughed. The way he called it "Stygian iron," all serious-like-he'd looked ridiculous. This scrawny white boy was no fighter. She certainly hadn't believed they were related.

She had changed her mind about that quick enough. And when Nico told her there was another daughter of Pluto-his sister Bianca, she wondered how powerful Bianca is in comparison to Nico. Unfortunately, Nico told Hazel Bianca had joined the Hunters of Diana and she might not get to meet her.

Percy scowled. "I-I know you."

Nico raised his eyebrows. "Do you?" He looked at Hazel for explanation.

Hazel hesitated. Something about her brother's reaction wasn't right. He was trying hard to act casual, but when he had first seen Percy, Hazel had noticed his momentary look of panic. Nico knew Percy. She was sure of it, and it explained Hiruzen greeting Percy like an old friend (which she had shrugged it off as Hiruzen just being friendly). Why was he pretending otherwise?

Hazel forced herself to speak. "Um... Percy lost his memory." She told her brother what had happened since Percy and Yugito had arrived at the gates. Nico took rather interest in Yugito when he heard she was a Jinchuriki of the two tails, as though he knew that term all to well but she was still new to him. He wasn't even surprise when it was revealed Yugito was from the elemental nations.

"So, Nico," she continued carefully, "I thought... you know, you travel all over. Maybe you've met demigods like Percy before, or..."

Nico's expression turned as darkas Tartarus. Hazel didn't understand why, but she got the message: Drop it.

"This story about Gaea's army," Nico said. "You warned Reyna?"

Percy and Yugito nodded as Percy asked. "Who is Gaea, anyway?"

Hazel's mouth went dry. Just hearing that name... it was all she could do to keep her knees from buckling. She remembered a woman's soft sleepy voice, a glowing cave, and feeling her lungs fill with black oil.

"She's the earth goddess." Nico glanced at the ground as if it might be listening. "The oddest goddess of all. She's in a deep sleep most of the time, but she hates the gods and their children."

"Mother Earth... is evil?" Percy asked.

"Very," Nico said gravely. "She convinced her son, the Titan Kronos-um, I mean, Saturn-to kill his dad, Uranus, and take over the world. The Titans ruled for a long time. Then the Titan's children, the Olympian gods, overthrew them."

"That story seems familiar," Percy sounded surprise, like an old memory had partially surfaced. "But I don't think I ever heard the part about Gaea."

Nico shrugged. "She got mad when the gods took over. SHe took a new husband-Tartarus, the spirit of the abyss-and gave birth to a race of giants. They tried to destroy Mount Olympus, but the gods finally beat them. At least... the first time."

"What do you mean?" Yugito asked.

Nico glanced at Hazel. He probably wasn't meaning to make her feel guilty, but she couldn't help it. If Percy and Yugito knew the truth about her, and the horrible things she'd done...

"Last summer," Nico continued, "Saturn tried to make a comeback. There was a second Titan war. Only this time they got reinforcement from the elemental nations."

"What kind of reinforcement?" Yugito asked.

Nico hesitated as though wanting to pick the words carefully. "I think it was some small ninja village called the Village Hidden in the Sound. From what I gather, many were rogue ninjas from other nations."

Yugito nodded. "I heard of the Village Hidden in the Sound. You're right, it's a minor village, doesn't even have a Kage, but good portion is made of rogue ninjas, or ninjas who abandoned or wanted by their village for crimes. But at one time it was led by one of the strongest Shinobies name Orochimaru. I heard after Orochimaru was killed by one of his students, for a few years the sound village went quiet. Even the Feudal Lord of the nation the village is located lost word from them. If what you said is true, that would explain it."

Nico glanced at Percy worriedly. "Right. The Romans at Camp Jupiter stormed his headquarters on Mount Othrys, across the bay, and destroyed his throne. Saturn disappeared-" He hesitated, watching Percy's face. Hazel got the feeling her brother was nervous that more of Percy's memory might come back.

"Um, anyway," Nico continued. "Saturn probably faded back to the abyss. We never heard from these sound ninjas since. We all thought the war was over. Now it looks like the Titans' defeat stirred up Gaea. She's starting to wake. I've heard reports of giants being reborn. If they mean to challenge the gods again, they'll probably start by destroying the demigod..."

"You've told Reyna this?" Percy asked.

"Of course." Nico's jaw tensed. "The Romans don't trust me. That's why I was hoping she'd listen to at least Yugito if not of you. Apollo is a popular god since its often his children or legacy that are made augurs. Children of Pluto... well, no offense, but they think we're even worse than children of Neptune. We're bad luck."

"They let Hazel stay here," Percy noted.

"That's different," Nico said.

"Why?"

"Percy," Hazel cut in, "look, the giants aren't the worst problem. Even... even Gaea isn't the worst problem. The thing you and Yugito noticed about the gorgons, how they wouldn't die, that's our biggest worry." She looked at nico. She was getting dangerously close to her own secret now, but for some reason Hazel trusted Percy and Yugito. Maybe because both were also an outsider (or at least at one time Yugito was an outsider if Hazel understand what Yugito said about Jinchurikis correctly), maybe because both worked together to save Frank at the river. They both deserved to know what they were facing.

"Nico and I," she said carefully, "we think what's happening is... Death isn't-"

Before she could finish, a shout came from down the hill.

Frank jogged toward them, wearing his jeans, purple camp shirt, and denim jacket. His hands were covered with grease from cleaning weapons.

As it did every time she saw Frank, Hazel's heart performed a little skip-beat tap-dance-which really irritated her. Sure he was a good friend-one of the only people at camp who didn't treat her as if she had a contagious disease. But she didn't like him in that way.

He was three years older than she was, and he wasn't exactly Prince Charming, with that strange combination of baby face and bulky wrestler's body. He looked like a cuddly koala bear with muscles. The fact that everyone always tried to pair them up-the two biggest losers at camp! You guys are perfect for each other-just made Hazel more determined not to like him.

But her heart wasn't with the program. It went nuts whenever FRank was around. She hadn't felt like that since... well, since Sammy.

"Stop it," she thought. You're here for one reason-and it isn't to get a new boyfriend.

Besides, Frank didn't know her secret. If he knew, he wouldn't be so nice to her.

Hiruzen bounded toward Frank and jumped up on Frank before he could reach the shrine and licked him.

"Hey Hiruzen. I take it Nico's here then," Frank greeted the young hellhound.

"Hiruzen!" Nico called confirming his presence to Frank. Hiruzen jumped down and rejoined NIco allowing Frank to make the rest of the trip to the shrine.

"Hey, Nico..."

"Frank." Nico smiled. He seemed to find Frank amusing, maybe because Frank was the only one at camp who wasn't uneasy around the children of Pluto. As Frank put it, Nico can't be too bad of a person if Hiruzen is so friendly.

Sometimes Hazel can't help but wonder if someone else had part in raising Hiruzen, but anytime she asked Nico about Hiruzen's origin, Nico just say he met Hiruzen when he was a young hellhound pup, and end it from there.

"Reyna sent me to get Percy and Yugito," Frank said. "Did Octavian accept you two?"

"Yeah," Yugito replied.

"He slaughtered my panda and Yugito's cat," Percy said.

"He... Oh. The augury? Yeah, teddy bears must have nightmares about the guy, but I guess any stuff animal would do if he needs another source. But you guys are in! We need to get you cleaned up before evening muster."

Hazel realized the sun was getting low over the hills. How had the day gone so fast? "You're right," she said. "We'd better-"

"Frank," Nico interrupted, "why don't you take Percy and Yugito down? Hazel and I will be along soon."

Uh-oh, Hazel thought. She tried not to look anxious.

"That's-that's a good idea," she managed. "Go ahead, guys. We'll catch up."

"Percy looked at Nico one more time, as though he was still trying to place a memory. "I'd like to talk with you some more. I can't shake the feeling-"

"Sure," Nico agreed. "Later. I'll be staying overnight."

"You will?" Hazel blurted. The campers were going to love that-the son of Neptune and the son of Pluto arriving on the same day. Now all they needed was some broken mirrors and black cats. Then she scratch the black cat part realizing she doesn't know what the two tail cat looks like for all she knows its a black cat.

Frank looked uneasy for a bit glancing at Yugito, reaching for something in his jacket-an odd habit of Frank's when he's worried about something. Hazel doubt it had to do with the two tails in Yugito. Not only Frank doesn't know the truth about the two tails, but anytime they pass a cat in New Rome or at Camp, Frank would sometimes mention his grandmother who was obsessed with Chinese culture would tell him that cats were resourceful and can scare away ghost. That actually often made Hazel uneasy and hope he was wrong about cats. But then Frank also would notice and think it had something to do with Pluto and try to make her feel better by saying cats were used to create a statue of a waving cat for luck and fortune too.

"Go on, Percy," Nico said. "You and Yugito settle in." He turned to Hazel, and she got the sense that the worst part of her day was yet to come. "My sister and I need to talk."

...

"You know him, don't you," Hazel said.

They sat on the roof of Pluto's shrine, which was covered with bones and diamonds. As far as Hazel knew, the bones had always been there. The diamonds were her fault. If she sat anywhere too long, or just got anxious, they started popping up all around her like mushrooms after a rain. Several million dollars' worth of stones glittered on the roof, but fortunately the other campers wouldn't touch them. They knew better to steal from temples-especially Pluto-and fauns never came up here.

Hazel shuddered, remembering her close call with Don that afternoon. If she hadn't moved quickly and snatched that diamond off the road... She didn't want to think about it. She didn't need another death on her conscience.

Nico swung his feet like a little kid. His stygian iron sword lay by his side, next to Hazel's spatha. He gazed across the valley, where construction crews were working in the Field of Mars, building fortifications for tonight's games.

Hiruzen frolick around the temples near the Temple of Pluto, but never entered them as he stayed in Nico's and Hazel's sight. Although Nico did had to whistle now and then to make sure Hiruzen don't wonder off.

"Percy Jackson." He said the name like an incantation. "Hazel, I have to be careful what I say. Important things are at work here. Some secrets need to stay secret. You of all people-you should understand that."

Hazel's cheeks felt hot. "But he's not like... like me?"

"No," Nico said. "I'm sorry I can't tell you more. I can't interfere. Percy has to find his own way at this camp."

"Is he dangerous?" she asked.

Nico managed a dry smile. "Very. To his enemies. But he's not a threat to Camp Jupiter. You can trust him."

"Like I trust you," Hazel said bitterly.

Nico twisted his skull ring. Around him, bones began to quiver as if they were trying to form a new skeleton. Whenever he got moody, Nico had that effect on the dead, kind of like Hazel's curse. Between them, they represented Pluto's two spheres of control: death and riches. From what Hazel understand, Bianca also represented death, but she wasn't as moody as Nico. Still, sometimes Hazel thought Nico and Bianca had gotten the better end of the deal.

"Look, I know this is hard," Nico said. "But you have a second chance. And now you have someone to relate to. You said Yugito is a Jinchuriki right, that means she been through what children of Pluto goes through."

"You met another Jinchuriki, haven't you?" Hazel asked.

Nico bit his lip as if trying to pick his words carefully. "Let's just say he helped save me from falling the same path as our other siblings."

Hazel know what Nico was talking about. She heard how many children of Pluto fallen the dark path because of how they were treated and sometimes something tragedy.

"Even if you're right about Yugito, it still doesn't make my situation any more right," Hazel said. "If the others find out the truth about me-"

"They won't," Nico promised. "They'll call a quest soon. They have to. You'll make me proud. Trust me, Hazel."

Hazel's mouth tasted like metal, as if gold nuggets were popping under her tongue. "Then it's true about Death? Alcyoneus to blame?"

"I think so," Nico said. "It's getting bad in the Underworld. Dad's going crazy trying to keep things under control. From what Percy and Yugito said about the gorgons, things are getting worse up here, too. But look, that's why you're here. All that stuff in your past-you can make something good come out of it. You belong at Camp Jupiter, just as Bianca belonged to the Hunters."

That sounded so ridiculous, Hazel almost laughed. She didn't belong in this place. She didn't even belong in this century.

She should have known better than to focus on the past, but she remembered the day when her old life had been shattered. The blackout hit her so suddenly, she didn't even have time to say, Uh-oh. SHe shifted back in time. Not a dream or a vision. The memory washed over her with such perfect clarity, she felt she was actually there.

Her most recent birthday. She'd just turned thirteen. But not last December-December 17, 1941, the last day she had lived in New Orleans.
