V- Hades and Poseidon

Percy was really starting to like being here. Sure he wasn't the best at everything, Naruto far out shined him in every activity except the ones that were water related.

He had tried his hand at Archery but he knew it wasn't for him when he almost killed Chiron during the archery class. In the fighting arena, Clarisse made a point every single time to beat him in the most humiliating way possible. Ancient greek was awful and he could feel Annabeth slowly but steadily loosing her patience with him and his pitiful attempts at pronunciation.

But despite all of these setbacks, he was really liking the place. He finally felt at homes among all the others, because they were all like him.

Suddenly he heard a noise and looked up. It was Naruto, walking toward him, with the others from archery class. Percy smiled. His friend had managed to gather a large following, mainly constituted of the girls from the Aphrodite cabin. They were always fawning over his prowess with weapons or his brute strength in the arena where he always managed to beat every single one of his opponents, even some of the older teens from the Ares cabin.

" Let's go Perce" yelled Naruto from a far, his blunt practice sword hanging over his shoulder. "We don't want to be late to sword practice".

Percy smirked. He had almost forgot another thing he was good at and which was in the camps standards super cool, sword fighting. He didn't know how, he didn't why but he was good at it. Even though from Luke's perspective, the swords he was using weren't suited for him. Luke. Percy absolutely loved the guy. He was like the big brother he never had. Hell the guy stole for him on his first here, granted it was just a bar of soap, a bottle of shampoo and a towel but still it was the first time anyone had ever stolen for him. Besides Luke was a total badass, he trampled everyone at absolutely everything, especially at sword fighting seeing as he was named the teacher of the class. Well everyone except for Naruto. And Percy could feel to his great disappointment that his best friend and his idol did not at all get along. There was some kind of animosity between the twelve and the nineteen years old that everyone had started to notice. Percy knew that it might have to do with Luke's feeling challenged for leader of cabin 11 position. Sure, he had seniority and a certain amount of charisma, but Naruto was a natural born leader. He wasn't the kindest but he was honest and fair, and was just...cool. And more and more people were drawing to him, some even talking about Naruto being a son of the big threes or whatever the hell that meant. All Percy knew, was that tension was rising and that he was fully caught in the middle, between both of them, even though if push came to shove, he was always going to stand by Naruto. So he got up, picked up the practice sword laying by his side and followed his friend toward the sword fighting class.

MOUNT OLYMPUS (New York empire state building 600th floor, door to the right).

" Oh for fucks sake little brother I did not take your lightning bolt quit calling me here every damn second to scream in my ears" Yelled a furious voice coming from the thrones room.

Artemis sighed again. She and Hestia were seating quietly in her quarters, trying to enjoy a cup of tea and some speculos (she loved those biscuits) but her father and her uncle were still screaming each other heads off in the throne room. She shared an exasperated look with Hestia and got up from her silver chair her long black hair in amazonian braid dangling behind her in a graceful manner.

" Men..." She whispered as she made toward Hera's temple, her expression becoming angrier the closer she got to the temple. it seemed her father and her uncle had both decided to wake up all of Olympus today and she was not having it. She entered the temple of the Queen mother, and went straight to her room, ignoring all the personnel trying to stop her.

" Hera they're going at it again" She said before averting her eyes.

There stood the Queen goddess of olympus, naked in all her glory in her virginity refilling bath. For a woman thousands of years old, she had a body that would make every man turn his head and make the prettiest women on earth jealous. Apart from Aphrodite, she was most likely the most beautiful goddess on Olympus.

" Could thee have the decency of covering yourself" Growled Artemis while throwing a towel at Hera.

The towel smacked her on the head in a very comical manner and Hera got out of the bath with all the dignity she could muster.

" You better have a damn good reason to interrupt me while I'm enjoying a PERFECT day in MY temple" said Hera with gritted teeth and a gleam in her eyes.

" Your husband and his brother are going at it again" answered Artemis while seating down in one of the luxurious sofas present in the very large bath room. Hera started drying herself while her helpers brought a white traditional greek dress that she put on in the most graceful way possible.

" Lets go" she said in a dark tone as she stomped out toward the throne room, Artemis hot on her heels.

IN THE THRONE ROOM...

Poseidon was once again sitting on his throne which looked like a fisherman chair. Zeus, his little brother had summoned him again to talk about his stupid lightning bolt that was stolen last week. He's brother suspected him of stealing. Him. As if he already didn't have enough troubles with trying to save his ocean lately, he had to add to the list his stupid little brother was throwing a tantrum because his toy was stolen. Where was their mother when he needed her? Somewhere in the Bahamas maybe... He needed her to fix this.

"Give it back" Growled Zeus from his golden throne. He was wearing a blue suit with a black tie and his enormous bear had sparks in it, most likely due to the state of anger he was in.

" FOR THE LAST TIME YOU LITTLE SHIT" Yelled out Poseidon while jumping from his throne, his enormous height making the ground shake. " I DON'T HAVE YOUR STUPID LITTLE TOY STOP PESTERING ME WITH IT"

" STOP LYING" Screeched Zeus while clenching his fists. "YOU AND HADES WERE ALWAYS JEALOUS OF ME BECAUSE MOTHER LIKED ME BEST AND NOW THAT SHE'S AWAY YOU WANT TO MESS WITH ME"

"Really" laughed Poseidon. "You really think you were her favorite ? Well let me tell you stupid..."

" ENOUGH" growled out a feminine voice.

Poseidon and Zeus turned toward the new voice and turned white with panic. Hera was walking toward them, with a white aura surrounding her. Poseidon sighed.

" here we go again..." He muttered while plopping down on his throne, with a hand covering his face.

"Hera honey I..." Started Zeus but Hera cut him off.

" Save it" she said in a dry tone. She walked toward her own throne and started growing in size, until she reached nine feet. She finally sat down in it, with her legs crossed, and her eyes cold.

" Are you proud of yourself right now ?" She asked in a quiet tone.

Poseidon wisely stayed quiet. He might be stronger than her but he had restrains when it came to family. Hera, had none and he knew that simply breathing louder than necessary was going to get him chewed out. Zeus was not that smart.

" Look woman we were just..." He started before Hera cut him off again.

" You singlehandedly manage to wake up the whole city with your shenanigans" she gritted out with her teeth clenched and her eyes alit. " I thought that you had Athena, Ares and Apollo already looking for your bolt".

" Yes I do but..."

" Then are you still throwing a fit about it" she asked with contempt.

" Because there's no need to look" finally said zeus while smashing his fist on the hand rest of his throne. " It's either him or Hades"

Poseidon got ready to shout again, but he quieted down when he saw Hera's gaze shift to him. He shivered. That look. It reminded him too much of his mother Rhea and he suddenly found himself glad that she wasn't here staring them down with Hera. He noticed Artemis standing by the door of the throne room and waved at her with a smile, unaware that she was the one who had ratted them out.

" I will take my leave now" he said while standing up to go and have a conversation with his favorite niece. " Sorry about all of this Hera I really am and I truly hope that you find your bolt brother".

Zeus seethed but said nothing. Poseidon got up and awkwardly walked toward Artemis, leaving behind the couple to sort out their issues.

" You know, I'm the one who told Hera about you guys fighting again" said Artemis with an apologetic look.

Poseidon sighed.

" It's ok" he finally said with a smile. "Besides I think without Hera intervening we would have kept on fighting until one of us finally snapped and did something regretable".

" Yeah that would have been bad" Said Artemis with worry. "But this is worse, I mean something so strong disappearing like that... I don't like it".

" something big here is at play" said Poseidon with a stern look. " I don't know if my brother (Hades) did steal it, but if he did I've taken steps to recover it".

" What will you do ?" Asked Artemis with curiousity.

" You'll see" said Poseidon with a sad smile. " You might be very angry with me when I reveal my hand".

" We'll see" said Artemis. She wasn't against getting her hands dirty for a good cause and something as strong as Zeus lightning bolt vanishing is as good a cause as any.

Poseidon said nothing and kept on walking, changing the subject. He needed to keep his mind off the shit storm that would follow, once he claimed his son tonight.

BACK IN CAMP HALFBLOOD...

"Arghh" was the sound a boy from Ares cabin made before he was disarmed and pushed to the ground by Luke. Sword practice had been going for an hour already, and they had moved from training moves to fighting in live combat.

" Next" said Luke with a smile. Everyone retracted a bit, not eager to get knocked down by Luke. But Naruto took a step forward. Percy sighed.

"Here we go again..." He whispered.

" Care to take me on King Arthur" mockingly said Naruto with a smirk.

" You sure you want to do this Naruto" said Luke with arrogance. " You've never won against me so far".

" You never beat me either" said Naruto with a laugh. " But today it all changes..."

Percy settled down to watch the match unfold. Many mimicked him, talking eagerly among themselves.

" Don't over do it guys" said Annabeth who was among the spectators. " I need you guys in top shape for capture the flag tonight".

Naruto just smiled at her and got in a fighting stance, his knees bent and his shoulder low, he was almost crouching with his blade parallel to his leg, as if he was going for swipe. Luke opted for a more traditional stance, holding his enormous training sword, a replica of his own real sword which was half made from celestial bronze and half normal steel.

" Go" Said Charles Beckendorff, a tall and muscular african american teen, who was the counselor of the Hephaestus cabin.

A second passed. And then Luke lunged forward, bring his sword with a stabbing motion. Naruto spun on his right leg and countered the sword with his own. The sound of metal clashing awoke the ears of Percy. Sure the blades were blunt, but it was still celestial bronze. Naruto took a step forward and swiped for Luke's head, but Luke avoided the hit by jumping back. All of it had happened so fast. Percy was baffled. He had thought that maybe, just maybe he was catching up to Naruto and Luke, but right now, those skills and those reflexes. They were far ahead of him.

" But it's ok" he thought with a smirk. " I'll catch up, I'll stand alongside them".

Naruto and Luke clashed again, Luke being surprisingly fast with his big sword, but Naruto was faster and alway found a way to get closer, just to jump away to avoid being hit by Luke's strong hits.

Luke wasn't going easy. His face was set in a serious frown, sweat gliding down his neck. Naruto was a threat to his position as the de facto leader of the camp, and he wasn't going to let a twelve years old steal a position he had acquired through years and years of sacrifices.

Naruto on the other hand was feeling great. Luke was a real challenge. He was stronger than him and had more battle experience, but Naruto was confident he could beat him, because he had yet to use what he liked to call his "ninja skills".

Luke shot forward and brought down his blade on Naruto's making the blond fall to one knee as he struggled to stop the hit with his blade. Naruto took a swipe at Luke's leg with his own and Luke staggered back shocked at the method of fighting from Naruto who started an assault made from sword slashes and kicks and punches.

" You see Luke..." Started Naruto while using a bit of his secret abilities to be faster. "Your issue is that you trust your sword too much".

Naruto jumped and feinted slashing with his sword before spinning delivering a kick to Luke, who fell to his knees. Before being brought down by an axe kick on the back. Naruto then took Luke's sword and threw it away.

"Naruto wins" said Beckendorf before picking up his own sword and walking off to his cabin, his cabin mates following behind him.

Luke got up, a dark look on his face.

"Congrats Naruto" he said with a forced smile before stomping off the field, the Hermes cabin hot on his heels. Only the Stroll brothers stayed behind and gave thumbs up to Naruto before following the rest of their cabin.

"You used your powers" muttered Percy to Naruto. There was no accusation, just a statement.

"I fought at a hundred percent" said Naruto with a smirk. Percy gave him a look. " Alright eighty percent... Ok around sixty five".

Percy nodded with a smile. He knew Naruto didn't accurately know how strong he was. He just hoped they would know soon, that way he would have an idea on how far behind he was strength wise.

"That wasn't a smart move Naruto" said Annabeth while falling in line with them as they made their way back to the cabins.

" Oh you mad because I beat your crush" said Naruto in a teasing voice.

" It's nothing like that" she yelled out with a blush. " I'm just saying that you beating Luke in such a manner is going to get you enemies in here. Luke is very appreciated".

" Do I look like I care if they like me or not ?"

" I thought you wanted to have everyone following you" said Annabeth with a raised eyebrow.

" I already have you Annie why would I need anyone else" said Naruto with a smile.

" What about me ? And Grace ?" Asked Percy with a mock hurt expression.

" You guys don't count you're family" answered Naruto while ruffling Percy's hair.

" We're the same age stop acting like you're older or something" said Percy with a blush at the show of affection from his surrogate brother. " Besides I was born on august and you on October therefore I'm older"

" That's bullshit"

They kept on bickering, unaware of Annabeth who had stopped in her tracks, and was still blushing at Naruto saying he didn't need anyone else as long as he had her. She then looked up and saw them mimicking fighting positions from old kung-fu movies and throwing hits at each other in slow-motion.

" Boys..." She muttered as she joined them, smacked both of them on the head and told them to shower before dinner.

Naruto and Percy both grabbed the juiciest piece of meat on their plates and both prayed to be claimed. Annabeth had been right. Most of the people in camp were not happy about Naruto humiliating Luke. Naruto and Percy were both unwelcome on cabin eleven's table, but managed to find seats at cabin nine table, were they were doing arm wrestling with Hephaestus's children. Naruto really liked Charles Beckendorf. The fourteen years old had rough features, which made him handsome in their own ways and he was the best weapon maker of the camp. Besides he was great company and didn't seem to kiss the ground Luke walked on like almost every other camper. He had welcomed them on his table and had been nothing but pleasant to them.

Naruto looked toward Chiron and saw that he was frowning, looking back and forth between Hermes's table and Hephaestus table. Naruto sighed. Chiron was definitely going to try and fix things between them, but Naruto was not inclined. He wouldn't apologize to Luke, not after such a glorious victory.

" Tonight is going to be fire" muttered Percy with excitement. He was hyped for this capture the flag game, he didn't know why but the idea of fighting seemed to make his blood rush.

" Is our alliance with cabin eleven and six still standing" asked Charles to Naruto.

Naruto swallowed his piece of beef before answering.

" The Strolls are In and Annabeth is okay for it as long as the Athena cabin gets priority on the Archery fields and that you guys make a few weapons for them".

" Sold" Said Charles with a smile. Cabin nine occupants weren't really archers, and they loved making weapons therefore they would have done it anyway. They knew that their alliance with Cabin six and Eleven was guaranteed victory. After all cabin six was smart and eleven had Naruto, Luke and The strolls. Even Percy was a good fighter.

Naruto smiled and got up. He went to cabin six table and muttered something in Annabeth's ear, before he stole a couple of fries from her plate and ran off before she could catch him. He then signaled the Stroll brothers with a thumbs up and went back to his steak. The rest of the dinner passed with no major event.

" Now that we are fed and well rested" announced Chiron an hour after dinner. " The capture the flag game will start in thirty minutes, for the two teams blue will be Athena, Hermes, Hephaestus and Apollo and the red will be Dionysus, Demeter, Aphrodite and Ares".

Naruto smirked. Entertainment indeed. They went to the cabins to wear their greek armors and grab their weapons.

" It's a simple plan really" said Annabeth while rolling out a map of the forest surrounding the camp, within the barrier. " Apollo cabin's archers will be in the trees over here and over there" she said while pointing spots on the map. " Shoot down as much of them as you can, but remember no killing or serious injury. Half of Hermes cabin and Athena cabin will stay back and protect the flag, while the other half will attack alongside the Hephaestus cabin. Luke and Charlie will be leading the attacks while I'll be leading a small team of Athena cabin as scouts. As soon as the flag is stolen, we've already prepared an escape path for retreat".

Everyone nodded. The plan was sound, as expected of Annabeth. They all went to take their places. Naruto was going to follow Percy and Charlie, when Annabeth grabbed his hand.

" I need you flying solo" she said in a hushed tone. They were already in the forest therefore they didn't know who was listening.

"Why ?" Asked Naruto.

" Luke might be leading the offense, but you're our ace". She said with a smile. "I don't know how but you have amazing physical capabilities and you work fast and best alone. I don't need you at a post, I need you moving across the forest and incapacitating all the red players you can find".

" Okay" said Naruto while adopting a serious expression. His role was pretty important and he needed to live up to Annabeth trust in him. "But did you just admit than I'm better than Luke ?"

" Just go Idiot" said Annabeth while pulling out a baseball cap and putting herself in position.

" Please watch out for Percy" said Naruto with a serious expression. " Clarisse is out to get him remember".

Annabeth nodded and Inhaled.

A loud trumpet noise resounded.

They started running.

Everyone adopted battling stances, with the archers going deeper in the forest, arrows already set to be let loose. Naruto tapped into his powers and started running deeper in the forest, his sword out, looking for any red helmet player. The forest seemed to blaze around him, with his monstrous pace and he soon encountered a team of Ares players which were probably scouts seeing as they were moving with a certain amount of stealth. Naruto Jumped in a tree as quietly as possible and decided to wait a bit before finishing them.

" Where is Clarisse ?" Asked one of the girls which were composing the small unit. " It's been five minutes she should have reported back already".

" She has another objective in mind" answered a the leader of the team with a cruel smile. " Clarisse is not the main scout team, we are she is going to take them from behind by the lake, but she'll pay a visit to that Jackson boy first".

" Thanks stupid" said Naruto with a laugh. They tensed and looked around until Naruto jumped out of his tree and knocked out the leader with a kick to the head.

" Good night" said Naruto with toothy grin, his eyes glowing red with malovelance. He roundhouse kicked two of them in a tree and grabbed the girl in a chokehold until she fainted.

He then kept on walking, while whistling, looking for another team of red player.

" Ah shit".

The game wasn't going so great for Percy. He had been separated from the rest of his team and was now ambushed by Clarisse and her entourage. She took another slash at him with her electric spear and he dodged it, before knocking back one of his assaulters with a hit on the head from the hilt of his sword.

Clarisse's nostrils flared before she managed to get a good hit at Percy, stabbing him with her spear.

" No maiming" said Percy in a weak tone. He was losing a lot of blood from the wound and there was a burning smell, from all the shocks the spear had given him. He was starting to think that they were actually going to kill him. He staggered back under their laughs and fell in the water.

The feeling was immediate.

He felt power rushing through his veins, and his blood. His head cleared up and he stood up with might. Clarisse blinked owlishly before lunging at him. Percy saw her coming to him, as if she was moving slower than usual. He dodged her thrust, before he brought down his sword, breaking the electric part of the spear.

" What the..." Was all Clarisse managed to say before Percy sent her tumbling with a kick in her abdomen.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise and the trumpet resounded again, announcing the end of the game.

"We won, we won" yelled Connor Stroll while running around with the red flag on his shoulders, as if he was an athlete who just won the olympic games for his country.

Clarisse cursed while her team members helped her up. Everyone was starting to gather on the spot, with Chiron and Mister D being the last to get on the spot. Annabeth appeared out of thin air alongside Luke, holding in her hand what seemed to be a baseball cap.

" Good work Percy" she said with a smile.

" You knew didn't you" said Percy with a frown. " that Clarisse was going to aim for me. That's why you sent me so far away from the flag. To neutralize her"

" Athena always have a plan" simply said Annabeth.

" I could have died" deadpanned Percy.

" But did you now ?" Said Annabeth with a smirk. "I was watching over you Percy, besides you didn't need my help".

" I was stabbed"

" correction Percy, you were stabbed". Said Annabeth while pointing to his now closing scar.

Percy looked down with amazement.

" What the hell ?"

Annabeth got a calculating look.

" Percy how are you feeling right now ?"

" Good... Why ?"

" Get out of the water... Now" ordered Annabeth with a fearful expression.

"What's going on" asked Naruto who had just made his way back to them.

He watched as Percy got out of the water and suddenly stumbled. Naruto helped him up.

" I feel drained..." Muttered Percy loud enough for Annabeth and Naruto to hear.

" That's not good, that's really not good I assumed it would be Zeus" furiously muttered Annabeth with a worried expression.

Chiron who had noticed the situation started to get closer, when he suddenly came to a stop. Everyone went silent, on edge.

" Bring me my bow" said Chiron in a cold voice.

A member of Apollo cabin threw Chiron's long bow to him, but it was too late.

A giant dog jumped out of the tree behind Percy and Naruto and took a slash at them. Annabeth ducked out of the way while Chiron aimed for the eyes of the beast. Naruto picked up his sword and stabbed the giant dog, which had managed to cut his face, a trickle of blood was going down his cheek, from under his left eye. The dog exploded, not in golden dust but in black flames.

" Percy get in the water now" said Annabeth in a grave tone. Naruto turned and saw that Percy had lacerations all over his chest from the attack of the dog.

" A hellhound" muttered Chiron. " It shouldn't be possible, not in here... Unless someone summoned it"

" It was Percy" yelled Clarisse with a vengeance.

" Shut up" said Naruto coldly with a dark look. He helped Percy get back in the water and watched with the others as the water started healing him.

" look guys I don't know how I'm doing this okay..." Tried to say Percy but he was cut off by Annabeth pointing above him. Naruto looked and saw a green trident hovering over Percy's head.

" Oh this is really not good" said Annabeth in a small voice. She then looked toward Naruto and almost fainted. "Chiron look"

Chiron looked above Naruto, with his eyes wide. A black helmet, in flames. The helm of darkness. The symbol of power of... Oh Zeus they were in trouble. Chiron swallowed and kneeled, the other campers following his lead except Annabeth who was simply staring at Naruto, in muted shock.

" As Zeus is my witness..." Started Chiron with a fearful look. " Rise, Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, god of the sea and earthquakes". He then turned to Naruto who was looking at him with a puzzled expression. "...and Rise Naruto Uzumaki, Son of Hades, god of the Underworld".

" Entertainment indeed" Said Naruto while looking to the ground with a smirk. " Hi dad, long time no see".

MANHATTAN IN ANOTHER LUXURIOUS PENTHOUSE...

Grace was mess. She knew she shouldn't have let her master go with these humans. You really couldn't trust this filthy race. Her master was gone for almost two weeks now. That's the longest they've ever been without the other, outside of school time. She knew something was up when she showed back at that awful Ugliano guy's apartment and he told her that Sally, Percy and Naruto were not back. Then she heard the news. The Camaro was found, burned to a crisp, they were all missing. She had cried herself to sleep that day, the following day and the next. The monster had gotten to Naruto. He was probably dead. No. If he was he would have crossed the gate and she would have known. He was still alive. But where ? Maybe Sally had kidnapped him ? Yes to keep him to herself. After all she would have done the same, Naruto was a wonderful prize. But she quickly dropped that theory. Sally as much as she hated to admit it, was a good person. But her baby was still missing.

"That's it" she said getting up in her night gown. She hadn't set a foot outside ever since she learned that Naruto was missing. She dried her tears and started changing in a regular outfit. " I will turn that whole country upside down and when I'll find him I'll never let go again. I will homeschool him and we will do everything together and when he turns sixteen..." She finished her train of thoughts with a blush and a nosebleed. She needed to tone it down a bit.

She was getting ready to step out when a black envelope popped up in front of her. She grabbed it and opened it. Her eyes widen, it was her King.

" Naruto has been claimed, He's at camp half-blood for now.

I need you here to manage the situation you are relieved of your duties in the mortal world.

Come home Diana Grace.

Hades, King of the Underworld".

Grace blinked. And then she squealed. She grabbed Mister Monokuma, Naruto's favorite teddy bear and started twirling him around.

" Naruto is claimed, he's been claimed" she yelled out excitedly to the inanimate bear. She then sat down in a meditating pose, the large teddy bear pressed up to her fairly large chest. " I can call him prince now, and I can show him and teach him everything about the underworld" she said with her eyes wattering. " Oh I've been waiting for this moment for so long".

The letter burned in front of her and she got a hold of herself.

"Right duty calls" she muttered seriously.

She winced a little, and wings started emerging from her back. Black wings. Her canines that were already sharper than usual became even more sharp. Her clothes morphed into a black silk dress that was highlighting her voluptuous figure.

"Lets go home" she muttered to the bear... Who nodded.

They both disappeared in a black smoke, the lights of the apartment turning off behind them.

Another Chapter, and this time it came in quicker (thanks to vacations).
