A shout out those who reviewed this story. I means so much to me and makes me want to write more of this. Here the next installment and a special ending.
Percy clung onto his seat in fear as the sky rumbled around the group as Athena drove though the grey clouds. Annabeth was next to him opposite of Grover, looking around the vehicle with a mixture of awe and fear. Awe because she was inside her mother's chariot, looking at all the designs within the vehicle and the papers that were stacked in the back. Her fear was about Percy. He was the son of her mothers rival, and being in here put was risky. Her mother won't out right kill Percy, not until she had reason to, so she had nothing to fear... She hoped.
Athena looked at the two demigods and the satyr via her rear view mirror. "Annabeth..." She started.
"Yes?"
Athena's grey orbs stared into her daughters own. After a few moments she cracked a soft smile. "You did well on your first quest. You did well also Grover Underwood."
Annabeth beamed and Grover stammered out a "Thank you lady Athena."
"Percus Jackson." Percy stiffened as he felt the goddesses of war and wisdom eyes land on him. "Oh don't be like that. You did well, but you as well as my daughter could of done better. However, as this was the first time for her to leave the camp and you have only been a part of our world for not that long, you did well. I expect you to do better so make sure you both study well."
"Yes Athena/mother."
"By the why, do you still have one of those orbs you used against the 'ant eater' and her son? I am interested on how you made them and your use of your powers combined with them to defeat a much stronger foe. I thought you were going to be an idiot but after what I saw I took it back."
Percy rubbed the back of his head and chuckled. "Well, my brother and I do pranks against each other and others. So I think after all the times we done pranking I've learned that it is best to have a trump card or at least a back up plan in case something goes wrong. I took an interest in chemistry around a year ago and even thought it's hard, its one of my best subjects. The only reason that I was let into Yancy academy was because of my high grades in that subject."
Athena was silent as she listened to the son of Posiden run on about the things he hand his brother did to his step father. She had a folder on that piece of work. Sally Jackson must love her biological son very much if she was with that man. No, a walrus perhaps...? No, that was cruel to the Odobenus rosmarus. Maybe a Hutt... Yes a Hutt was a better example of Gabe. Clearing her throat, she raised an eyebrow at Percy.
Percy sensing that perhaps he should take out on of the orbs, as Grover and Annabeth were both mouthing at him to do so, took out his last one and handed it to the waiting goddess's hand. Athena looked at it closely. "Interesting. I, like many of the gods, were listening to you as you faced off your foes in the Arch. Is that gunpowder I detect?"
"Yes. I added it to this one just after the events of the water park Ares sent us to. I have yet to test it out compared to the other ones I made..." Annabeth elbowed Percy as one of Athene's eyebrows started to twitch. "Er, please continue."
"I shall. Percus, what you have done has picked my interest and few of the barnacle beard's children have every done so. Because of this I want to grant you a minor blessing." Gover gave a loud Baa in surprise. Annabeth and Percy gawked at the goddess. "Oh don't give me those looks. Myself and my uncle do grant blessing to each others children. The last time I granted a blessing was to one of his daughters in the 1700's. He gave my son and a son of Hermes his blessing when they went to the bottom of the Mariana Trench."
"Thank you, lady Athena." Percy said. Athena waved her hand and Percy felt slightly different. Not much different but different. "What was your blessing anyway?"
Athena smirked in the rear view mirror.
Naruto and Percy stood in front of the doors to the entrance to the chamber of the council of the gods, at least Percy hoped it was. Athena had dropped Annabeth and Grover at camp and picked up Naruto and his stuffed fox.
"So this is Mt. Olympus. Hm, too much white and gold. Like someone is trying to hide all the loving that has happened over the years." Kyuubi stated aloud as it followed Naruto. "Then again, if I was the king of the gods I would want to try to hide as much of my love making as I could."
"So Naruto, heard you were claimed," Percy said awkwardly as he tried to revile some of the tension in the air.
Naruto shrugged. "Yeah..."
"Anything interesting happen when I was gone?"
"I was the winner of capture the flag because I captured the flag. That's how I was claimed." Naruto looked at his brother. "I wish you were there Percy to see me do so."
Percy reached out and tussled Naruto's hair. "Oh come on bro. You know I would of been there if not for the missing bolt."
"Yeah..." After a few moments both brothers and Kyuubi entered. The first thing that came to the boys minds was that everything was huge. While Naruto was here before, he was flashed out seconds after he was brought in to see the council. It wasn't a very good impression for both Naruto and the gods. Percy hoped that this time it would be different. Heck, he was saying a pray to the goddess of luck so that Zeus wouldn't try to blast them.
Looking around with his eyes, Percy noted that all the members of the council were here, including Hades. There was a women that Percy assumed was Amphitrite as she was siting in a guest throne next to who he believe to be Posiden.
The air was heavy as the brothers walked. The eyes of all the immortals was on them, judging them as they got closer to Zeus and Percy's father. As Percy passed my Posiden, he bowed. After a few seconds, he started to walk again, then dropped to one knee in front of the king of the gods. The tension was so thick in the air that Percy would of sworn that he could feel it as a physical sensation.
"Oi! Pervy king!" Naruto yelled at the king of the gods. Snickers were quickly silenced as soon as Zeus glared left and right. "You still haven't said that your sorry. Mom said that you should say sorry to those that you have wronged. So say sorry to me-"
"WHY SHOULD I SAY SORRY BRAT!? YOU WENT AND PEED ON ME!" Zeus thundered and glared at Naruto.
Naruto glared and shouted right back. "YOU ARE THE ONE THAT HAD YOUR SON GRAB ME WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO USE THE TOILET!"
"THAT IS WHY HE IS GETTING PUNISHED YOU IMMATURE BRAT!"
"IMMATURE? YOU'RE OLDER THEN ME MY SEVERAL THOUSAND YEARS! I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ACT MY AGE, WHAT ABOUT YOU?" Naruto yelled as he shook his finger at the god.
"Burn." A blonde haired man stage whispered, but the words still were loud enough to reach everyone's ears.
Kyuubi snickered at Zeus infuriated face as the god tried to come up with a comeback. "Good one kit."
"Thanks kyuubi." Naruto said to his friend before looking back at Zeus. "And also, if I'm the immature one, what does that make you, ya big perverty jerk!
Percy, acting quickly before Naruto could really get the thunder god upset, grabbed him by his collar and pulled him back. "Are you trying to get us both killed," Percy hissed at his brother.
Before Naruto could answer, Posiden cleared his throat. "Perhaps Percy it would be best if you return my brother's bolt."
Knowing that it was properly the best course of action, Percy laid the bolt and it's sheath on the floor in frout of Zeus's feet. The bolt leapt from the bag into Zeus's hands. The king let out a sign as he held onto his weapon, before looking at Percy.
"You have my thanks demigod for returning my bolt."
Percy bowed and forced Naruto to bow as well. "I thank you my lord."
"Hmm." A blast of lighting went from the bolt and struck Ares, sending him flying. Smoking, Ares got up and was about to open his mouth before he closed it with a click. Most would think that Ares was not a smart god, which was true compared to Athena and Apollo, but never the less, he was far from stupid. And he knew it would be best not to enrage his father's wrath anymore then it was.
"Now onto other business. What to do here with the son of the Queens!"
Naruko paced the deck of the ship as her caretaker Obito steered. She was bored and the last time she was on land was when they left the harbor. Flopping down she let out a frustrated moan. "~Obi~ when are we going to get where we are going anyway? I'm bored~!"
Obitio let out a groan as the girl started to whine and complain. 'Why did I listen to sensei when he tasked me to take care of his kids?' Obitio wondered as he watched the girl puff up her cheeks and wave her arms.
Naruko's red hair rose and she glared at her caretaker. "I WANT TO KNOW SENSEI!" She halved growled/shouted.
Obitio shivered as the girl reminded him of Minato's late wife, Kushina Uzumaki, when she was upset. 'Take care of her Obitio he said. Don't let the elders use her he said. Don't let my traitorous student lay his hands on my daughter he said. How was I supposed to know that he had a son until I saw the third seal the Kyuubi into him after Kushina gave birth to him and then kill sensei's wife?'
Obitio shook his head as he tried not to remember that night that he had failed his sensei. 'If the moon eye plan works the way that I planned it, I will be able to redeem myself to his eyes' He thought as he altered the ships course by a few degrees. "We are heading off the edge of the map where ships sail Naruko."
"So we are going into unknown waters?" Naruko asked.
"No." Obitio was silent for a few moments. "No one that has sailed where we are going has ever made it pass the line of known and unknown sea waters alive before. The only information that we have is based on old maps and rumors from sailors that dove into safe waters before the ships were lost."
"Does the uncharted sea have a name?" Before Obitio could answer, another voice joined the conversation.
"It's called the sea of monsters little girl. It is the sea the surrounds the Elemental Nations." Kakuzu stated as he walked on deck. The missing ninja of Takigakure took a seat on a barrel as he looked out over the waters. "When I was a young starting out ninja my team and I were sent on a mission to track down and kill a man. The man was the leader of a bandit group. Normally we would have let him go after he had fled outside the border, but he had taken the son of our then future lady Daimyo. After several days we found out that he had stolen a ship and was heading out to sea."
"So then what?" Naruko asked as she rocked side to side.
Kakuzu chucked at the girls actions. She was a piece of work that he would say that scared him. She was one of the most dangerous females or Uzumaki that he had ever had the misfortune of crossing. At first glance she seemed like an care free air head. Few have ever survived when the girl got serous in a fight or when she put he mind to something. Once, she let herself be captured by bandits so that she could behead the leader herself. She then went though the camp naked killing all the members of that party, using her body and innocent mask as bait.
Her latest piece of work was making a blood clone then leaving it at the base she was hiding in with Tobi. Then she had rumors spread thought the toad sage's network of the location. Kakuzu wished he could of seen the looks on the Konoha ninja's faces when they read the message that she had told Tobi to write on the wall with the blood. Of course, the sage would have sealed the body to be taken to the village. However, the man didn't know that Naruto had placed a seal that would cause an explosion as soon as the body was unsealed, damaging the area it was in.
"We followed them of course, but by the time we reached them, they were crossing the border in order to escape. My sensei ordered the captain of the ship we had bought to pursuit the man. I had a bad feeling and in the cover of the setting sun, stole a rowboat and some supplies and cast off. When I got a fair but far distance away did I look back. Only to see the ship sinking by something attacking it. When I made it back to port, I was half mad with fever and thirst. That is why I am going as far at the last port. I do not want to enter that sea. I may be immortal, but I an far from stupid.
