I'M ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE! And I bring you a new story! Yugioash has given me permission to do a "Reading of" series of stories for his/her The Legacy of Athena and Hermes/Heroes of Olympus stories.

Summary: It was the Winter Solstice meeting before the events of the Lightning Thief, where the Olympians (including Hades and Hestia), Sally and Percy Jackson, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki-Namikaze, Boruto/Bolt Hyuuga-Uzumaki-Namikaze, Himawari Hyuuga-Uzumaki-Namikaze, and others to be interchanged as the story progresses, are brought together to read a series of books by Atropos, Clotho, and Lachesis (otherwise known as the Fates). Post 4th Great War (before Sasuke went crazy with power) for the ninjas (except Boruto/Bolt and Himawari, and any others from the Boruto Next Generation series).

"Talking."

'Thinking.'

"Talking in the book."

Thinking in the book.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my own ideas. You won't see this again.

It was December 21st, the winter solstice, and the 12 Olympians were having their annual meeting. Zeus and Poseidon were having their usual arguments when 10 flashes of light appear. From seven of these flashes come Sally and Perseus/Percy Jackson, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, Naruto's parents Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki-Namikaze, and Naruto's two future children Boruto/Bolt Hyuuga-Uzumaki-Namikaze, and Himawari Hyuuga-Uzumaki-Namikaze.

"Who are you mortals and why are you here?!" Zeus booms out in anger. "You will NOT harm these mortals Zeus! They are an integral part of why we have summoned them!" A trio of voices that cause all of the Olympians to blanch announce as one. From the last three flashes appear the Fates with Lachesis holding a book. "Others will be brought in for certain scenes and some will stay for the entire story. If you try to harm any of them, you will be chained for the rest of the story!" The Fates announce as one again. From there, Lachesis leaves the book in the hands of Hestia before the Fates disappear.

"What is the title of the book, aunt Hestia?" Athena asks in curiosity. "It doesn't say. I'll start reading. Chapter 1: Naruto Arrives in New York…"

The night the Kyuubi attacked the Leaf Village and Minato and Kushina gave their lives protecting Naruto (Minato and Kushina were getting a hug from Naruto and Himawari for that), someone else was watching in another world–a beautiful woman with long black hair and intense grey eyes wearing an elegant white dress. Her name is Athena and she was the Olympian goddess of wisdom and strategy and Minato Namikaze's mother.

"What?!" Athena and Minato squawk at the same time while both Hermes and Kushina burst out into laughter. Even the various campers from Camp Half-Blood, including a certain daughter of wisdom and a Centaur, couldn't help but give a few chuckles/sniggers/giggles.

There was a flash of brilliant lights behind her. A middle-aged man with an athletic figure–slim and fit with salt-and-pepper hair, with elfish features wearing nylon running shorts and a New York City Marathon T-shirt. He was Hermes–messenger of the gods and father of Kushina Uzumaki.

"Huh?!" Both Hermes and Kushina exclaim at the same time. "Not so funny when the shoe is on the other foot is it Hermes?" Athena asks with a smirk. Hermes just sends a dry glare towards his wise sister. "Haha." Hermes laughs dryly.

"I take it you found out?" Athena asked.

"How can I not," Hermes said. "It was bad enough when they made Kushina the Jinchuuriki, now because of some nutcase, she died and hers and Minato's son has to carry the burden."

"Minato didn't have a choice," Athena responded.

Hermes sighed. "I know, it's just–after what happened to May–I just can't deal with it. If that village mistreats Naruto, or if things gets out of hand where Naruto might not be safe there, I don't care what father says, I'm bringing him to our world." (Fixed your mistake Yugi, as it's world not word.)

"If it comes to that, I'll help you," Athena said.

Twelve-to-Thirteen Years Later…

A twelve- to thirteen-year-old with spiky blond hair with a surfer tan skin, with an up turned eyebrow, pointy nose, three pencil line whisker like birth marks on each cheek and eyes that were a strange mixture of gray and blue was fighting his friend and teammate who left the village to gain the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan and of a Sannin.

They were fighting at a waterfall with two statues of their village's founders.

Toward the end, red energy known as chakra formed around the blonde in a form of a fox–minus the snout–with one tail while the other boy's skin darkened, hair grew longer and giant hands formed from his back like wings.

The blonde-haired boy formed a ball of spinning chakra while the black-haired boy formed lightning in his hand. Both jumped at each other and clashed their attacks. When they did it, dark energy spread around them in a sphere.

By the time it cleared, the blonde-haired boy was unconscious while the other boy was about to kill him. But before he did, he decided to leave it be–for now.

After the black-haired boy left, there was a brilliant blue light before Hermes appeared.

Over the years, Hermes and Athena had been on edge to bring Naruto to their world, but when Naruto entered the academy, he started making friends–even if Naruto didn't realize it. But now with signs of the Akatsuki rising and eventually going after all the Bijuus, Hermes and Athena decided to act while they can and eventually worked on a way to save Naruto's friends, including Gaara–the Jinchuuriki of the Ichibi no Tanuki, Shukaku.

"HERMES, ATHENA!" Zeus thunders (pun intended) at his two children, who don't even look apologetic. "I REGRET NOTHING FATHER!" Hermes and Athena shout at the same time, with matching determined frowns.

"Don't worry, Naruto. I'll take you somewhere that will help you with your training," Hermes said.

"Lord Hermes," someone said.

Hermes turned to see a man with gray hair that seemed to spike up and to the side, with a head band–with a metal plate that had a symbol that represents a leaf–over one eye and a mask that covers most of his lower face. Hermes recognized him as his son-in-law's student Kakashi Hatake.

"Good ole Kakashi-sensei, always showing up when the fight's over." Naruto grumbles, getting laughs from his mother and son.

"I'm taking Naruto to my world Kakashi, don't stop me," Hermes said.

"Why?" Kakashi asked, "is it because of how the village treated Naruto?"

"No, and neither Athena nor I would like to be reminded of it," Hermes said, "if it wasn't for the fact Naruto made friends in the Academy, we would have taken him took him a long time ago."

"Then why?" Kakashi asked.

"Because we know of the threat coming up, and we decided to help Naruto for it. He should train to be a demigod hero," Hermes said, "if Naruto ever decides to return to this world, it would be up to him."

Hermes picked Naruto up and disappeared in a flash.

Athena was watching in the distance, making sure nothing went wrong. She had been watching the fight was both amazed and worried by Naruto's actions. It was clear Naruto wasn't as wise as the rest of her children and legacies over the years, but he did have potential as a grandson of hers if he had proper teachings.

"I can be smart during battle. I do better when thinking on the fly and under pressure then with prep time." Naruto says with crossed arms and a pout, getting a giggle from his daughter.

She wasn't surprised to see Kakashi arriving. Kakashi had been secretly looking after Naruto. If it wasn't for Sasuke being one of the last two Uchihas, and Kakashi being the only Jonin with the Sharingan that wouldn't try to turn both boys into his own personal weapons, Kakashi would have focused on Naruto as well.

"WHAT?!" Minato and Kushina scream in outrage. "That one eyed, one armed warhawk." Minato swears with anger in his tone. Kushina just gets a gleam in her eye while sharpening her sword, that she pulled from somewhere (none of the males want to know where she got it from).

"I better head back," Athena said as she saw Hermes left with Naruto before disappearing herself.

Next day…

Naruto groaned while his eyes began to flutter open. He found himself in a room he didn't recognize. He was in an apartment, no doubt about that, but it wasn't his apartment in the Leaf. The bed he was in was too comfy, the drawers didn't look like something that had been through war, even before the Sound and Sand Villages attacked the Leaf.

"What? I thought the Sand was our allies." Minato says with a frown. "From what Ero-Sennin said, we were stealing their missions from the Wind Daimyo and plus Pedo-maru has a silver tongue." Naruto said, getting a few giggles from Kushina.

Naruto noticed a letter taped to the headboard of the bed he was in. he took it and found it was addressed to him. He opened it and when he read it, his eyes opened.

Dear Naruto,

I'm sorry for not picking you up earlier, but we had to wait for the right moment to pick you up. I can't tell you who I am because of family matters, you will know when you're ready, but I want you to know that I'm your grandfather on your mother's side. I didn't act alone though. I had help from your paternal grandmother–your father's mother.

Zeus just glares at his two children, who return it with challenging looks.

I can tell you that your parents are the Fourth Hokage: Minato Namikaze and his wife, and my daughter, Kushina Uzumaki. They cared about you deeply and died protecting you. Yes, your father was also the one who sealed the fox demon in you, but he did it because he couldn't ask anyone else to use their children, and he had hopes that you will be able to control the fox's power. They also decided that if anything happened to them before you knew who they were, you would take your mother's maiden name, which is why your last name is Uzumaki.

"I can see us doing that." Minato says with a nod. Kushina just pouts at not getting to raise her baby (causing Naruto to blush a very deep red).

Now listen, your grandmother and I cared about you too, but because of family traditions you'll come to learn of later, we couldn't raise you. However, when we heard about the Akatsuki, we decided to take you to our world which is in a different dimension from the one you grew up: the Elemental Nations for reasons you'll come to understand later.

Most of the gods either can see the logic or have experience with alternate dimensions.

As for now, your grandmother has enrolled you in a boarding school called Yancy Academy since here you are still required to go to school. In your drawers, she left you some books on this world and I left you some clothes we picked out for you, some of this world's currency, and a map of this city. Lastly, I recommend you keep your jutsus a secret in this world since here the jutsus you know don't exist.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kushina, Naruto, and Boruto all shout as one while falling on their knees in despair.

Naruto, I know this is a lot to take in, and you might have a thousand questions to ask about your heritage, but I promise you, it will be explained over time. Just be patient.

Love,

Your Grandfather

P.S. Your grandmother suggests you start reading up on Greek Mythology. You'll learn why in the future.

Naruto read and reread the letter, making sure this was not a trick, but it was obvious. Once he was done, Naruto smiled and cried with joy. He had grandparents who cared–a family.

Naruto headed to his dresser drawer and found books along with the map of a city called New York. When he opened them and tried to read, he found words swirled around the page like they always do. In a small drawer was a pouch full of green paper called dollars. The Second drawer down had a new set of clothes. They were a mixture of either blue or gray shirts, jeans or capris, there were even some orange t-shirts.

"Yeah Orange!" Naruto cheers, getting some giggles and facepalms.

Naruto left the bedroom and found himself in a complete apartment. The kitchen was neatly organized and new. The living room had a television, a comfy couch, and some easy chairs. There was also a door that led to a clean bathroom with a separate shower and bath. Lastly, there was a sliding window door that led out to an open-air Terrace and pavilion into a city Naruto guessed was New York City. Outside there were large buildings and roads full of vehicles.

"Lucky!" Naruto whines at his others' apartment.

Naruto smirked as he yelled. "LOOK OUT WORLD BECAUSE NARUTO UZUMAKI HAS ARRIVED."

Whelp, here's the first chapter. Don't expect any more anytime soon.

R&R

Scheffinator out, time for either Jedi or Sith murder sprees.
