In reply of so many people wondering... Naruto is around 8 years old. He will be the same age as Nico when they met for the first time.
"My lord, the heroes were successful of retrieving the bolt. Also, it seems that the war is... off."
"Tell me, Castellan, do you think that I am a fool not to notice?"
"O-of course not my lord. I only thought-"
"You thought, Pathetic. My form my still be trapped in the pit, but that does not mean my mind is. Perhaps if you were thinking, you would of given the sea child and the girl you see as a sister the monster bait I had crafted."
"I couldn't risk the discovery of myself being the thief!"
"They why couldn't you have had ##### do it? She has proven herself far more helpful then you. Her plan was what nearly caused my children to go to war, not you stealing and bringing the bolt to one of my brethren."
"She is too intertwined in her interest Percy's brother, Naruto. Just like most of the girls are."
"Naruto?"
"The son of Hera, Persephone and Amphitrite."
"Ahh yes. You told me of him, but I had dismissed the information as I was paying attention to the arrival of my grandson. Tell me, how close are the brothers?"
"Close M'lord. It may be Percy Jacksons weakness as the two share a bond. ##### wants to use him in her quest to bring down the gods."
"... He is something would break the will of my grandson then. Do as you must. And while she is the greatest asset, there are other ways to bring down the gods. You know what to do"
"Crystal."
Naruto and Zeus glared at each other as the queens took spots around their son. Percy found himself next to his fathers legs, on a guest sit. Three of the gods: Aphrodite, Dionysus, and Hephaestus weren't even looking at his brother... Well, the goddess of love was staring into space, the smith god was tinkering with something, and Mr. D looked like he was sightly worried for Naruto.
'Aphrodite is probably thinking of what sort of love life my brother will have. Hephaestus doesn't seem to care, not sure that I blame him or not. But what's Mr. D's angle in this? He keeps calling all of us demigods's by wrong names and I can't think of any reason for him to have an interest that is in Naruto's favor. Considering that Naruto took all of his and Chiron's betting money, several gems, two packs of sodas, and the trainer's record albums.' Percy was slightly scared for his brother. If it came down to it, Percy knew that he would somehow steal his brother's soul form his uncle, or trade his own for his brother's.
Artemis looked at her father with worry. After spending that day with Naruto, she had thought of the boy as a hunter's puppy that wanted to play and impress its mistress... or a little brother. Better then her twin, who was a major idiot for a god of intellect and pervert. Artemis idly wondered if she could trade brothers with Percy, but knew that she was stuck with Apollo. Who, even thought was a pain, was still family and someone that she could count on when she needed it. Looking to her brother, Artemis was going to ask him if he would like to do a hunt together, just the two of them, before seeing what was playing on this device.
Apollo, who had taken out the head phones looked at Naruto with interest before he felt as if he was going to be replaced, after which he felt a bit of happiness... Then danger. Gulping he looked over his shoulder to see his sister glaring at him. Sweating quickly, the male twin archer immortal went back to observing the boy. For some reason, the boy felt... off. Not from the number of goddesses being his immoral mother, but something else.
'Interesting,' Apollo thought as he watched the boy look in defiance at Zeus.
Hades wasn't sure what to think of Naruto. Sure he was of his wife's blood, but at the same time, she insisted that she hadn't had any romances after the oath was given. She had at that time swore that as long as Hades was true to the oath, she would be true to it as long as he was. That was until several years ago when she had returned from a trip to the sea of monsters. She had brought back several seeds for her gardens, but also she was uneasy about something.
Posiden was like his brother, uneasy of what to do with Naruto. But he was unable to be mad at his wife, as that would make him a hypocrite. So he kept his mouth shut as he did not need to go to the couch tonight. He really wanted to get laid tonight by his wife and if he messed up... He silently vowed to make sure that the boy lived... For now.
Ares was annoyed at Percy, but was looked at Naruto with interest. Percy, sensing this, stepped between the gods line of sight and Naruto. He still recalled what was said to him by the war god about his brother.
Hermes glared at Naruto. Because of the stunt that happen last time in the council chamber, Hermes was forced to clean all the toilets for a week. Then there was the fact that naruto had shown up his boys with pranks. And messed with the camps mail and making him follow insane instructions to find them again. 'How did he send mail to places around the world?' He thought as he fumed. After a few seconds, he grinned. 'Well, at least he has shown that he is a natural thief and prankster. Perhaps I could wiggle out how he did it. And how did he get me to send a stink bomb to my own office?'
"Huh? what was that Kyuubi?" All the immortals stopped what they were doing and stared at Naruto as he started to talk to the stuffed nine tailed fox. "You want to do what?"
"I said I wanted to nap a bit. The fire from the hearth feels so nice on my coat and you will be fine dealing with the wuss with a size problem"
"But you are better at words than I am!"
"Zzzz"
"KYUUBI WAKE UP!"
The Olympians looked that the god of madness as Naruto started to yell at his stuffed toy. He shook his head, signaling that Naruto wasn't crazy, even thought the kid was having a one sided conversation with the fox.
'A rather convincing one at that,' Apollo thought as did the rest of the gods. Apollo could have sworn on the Styx that the shadow of the stuffed toy was of a massive fox the size of the room, but after blinking, it vanished to the size of what it should me.
"Enough!" Zeus roared at Naruto, tired of listening to the boy's voice. "Hera, Persephone and Amphitrite... Explain yourselves. Especially you Hera. How is this demigos your son of all your linage?"
As one, as thought they had rehearsed, the queens spoke, "We don't know."
Hera looked at her husband straight in the eyes with anger. "Unlike you, my dear husband, I have never laid with a mortal or immortal other than you. I only learned of Naruto here during one of my social meetings with some mortal women."
"How about you Persephone? Or you Amphitrite. Do either of you know how this demigod came to be?"
"I became aware of him when my husband claimed Percus there." Poseidon rubbed his head sheepishly as his wife sent him a small glare. "But I have no idea. Persephone, do you have any idea?"
The queen of the underworld was silent. "I discovered Naruto here when he was a newborn near a village that was inflamed. Thanatos was summoned there by a mortal for some deed that he has not let past his lips. I was in the area in what the locals call the forest of death, when I felt as if something was different. Intrigued, I followed the feeling to a clearing where a baby laid, a man hovering over him with a knife held up to kill. Before I could interfere, a old man stopped him. After a few words the men took the baby to the village. So I knocked them out and took Naruto. I then teleported Naruto to New York and went back to the clearing to look for any reason why I felt my power in the boy."
"Did you?" Question Zeus. As the gods listened, Naruto had discovered Hestia and was munching on a cookie that she gave him. Percy deadpanned at his brother while wishing for a cookie himself. A blue chocolate chip one at that.
His daughter shook her head. "All I found were two bodies of a man and woman. Both mortals, but..."
"What is it?" Asked Athena.
"When I checked the woman's body, I felt traces of an immortal."
"So we have a mystery on our hands. Do you think that whoever the immortal was he or she had a hand of Naruto's birth?" Apollo asked the question that was on the minds of all present. The immortals were more worried then the two brothers. A demigod who's coming into being that was a result of interference meant someone was hoping to use the boy for something in the future. But for what.
Seeing that this meeting only brought up more questions than answers, Zeus chose to dismiss the demigods. However...
"HEY PERVERTED OLD GUY! Why are you upset that I am the child of your wife anyway. Last I checked you are the unfaithful one of the marriage, not her."
'I will enjoy making him suffer.' Zeus thought as he glared at Naruto before flashing out. Several of the gods also flashed out, leaving only Posiden in the room along with the queens. Percy and Naruto looked at the four immortals, who were no longer ten feet tall but were still taller then the brothers.
The sea king cleared his throat. "You did well my son."
"Thank you sir."
Amphitrite looked over the son of her husband. "I am still not sure what to think of you Percus as you are the product of my husband's lack of restraint. And no, you will not say your favorite saying in front of me right now." Posiden deflated at that remark. "But you are also the brother of my son, so I ask that you keep an eye on him."
"I will lady Amphitrite." Percy said with a bow.
Hera was silent she studied the brothers. Naruto was leaning on his brother, falling asleep. 'Perhaps having him won't be so bad,' she thought as she looked at her and her fellow queen's son. 'It will give me a chance to understand why the rest of the council has demigods. Artemis my not have children of her own, but her hunters are like her daughters so I say it counts.'
"So Athena blessed you while Ares cursed you huh. I wonder what she gave you." Posiden said softly as looked at the duo. Percy rubbed his brothers back as Naruto slowly fell into the graces of Morpheus's domain. Sensing that the boys were tired, he teleported them to camp.
Percy sharpened his blade Riptide as he thought about his summer at camp half-blood. All in all, it had been the most memorable summer he had ever had. Looking over to the rock climbing wall, he saw Naruto racing one of the Strolls to the top. Snicking to himself, he tested the blade's sharpness. Satisfied, he turned his blade back to its pen form and pocketed it.
"It's strange, when I first arrived, all I wanted was to get away from the seemingly lunatic people here.' Percy chucked as Naruto made it to the top first and dumped paint all over the son of Hermes. 'Now that I have to go along with the rest of the part time campers I feel as if I am leaving home again.'
Heading towards the training field to get some last minute practice, Percy heard the sounds of someone training and went to investigate...
...
"Take that Connor!" Naruto crowd at the son of Hermes as he wiped the pain from his eyes. Smirking, Naruto raced to the side closest to the forest and jumped off. While he couldn't fly, Zeus was a jerk, Naruto found out he could glide though the air and land safely. He took it as a power he got from Hera, as she was the queen of the heavens. Even thought he couldn't fly, Naruto was happy to have what he got.
'Water balloon assaulting is so much fun when you are above your targets.' He thought with a grin. Landing on a branch, he raced though the branches of the trees, using his arms and legs to move much like a primate. 'Kyuubi was a great teacher to teach me tree racing.'
Using a branch as a spring board, Naruto cleared the tree tops and landed on the top of a large pine. Looking around, Naruto felt as if he was an assassin from Assassin's Creed or a ninja. Seeing the world from his spot in the middle of the sea of trees, Naruto felt most at home. The way the trees moved in the wind reminded him of water and the lowering of Apollos chariot cast lots of shadows to hide in. Closing his eyes, Naruto tried doing the trick that Kyuubi called chakra sensing and tried to find the fox. Feeling the nine tailed critter, Naruto leaped from his spot and landed near it's hiding spot.
"What's up kit?"
"Just was enjoying the view before we have to go back home to mom." Naruto took out a pair of ham sandwiches and gave one to Kyuubi. Kyuubi said thanks and started to eat the one it was given. "I'll miss it here. School isn't as fun as it is here. The girls at the school are too formal at times and don't like to rough house as much as the girls here."
"Their just mortals, very weak ones at that kit. They also have to protect the reputation of the school too."
"Yeah, mom said in her letters to me that I may be going to the same school as big bro this coming school year as they had a opening. But she has to deal with the paperwork and I will be going to the one I have been going to until its all cleared." Kyuubi lazily took a bite out of its food as Naruto talked. Then... "KYUUBI! THERE'S A GIANT CATERPILLAR ABOUT TO TAKE A BITE OFF YOUR BUTT"
"WHAT!? WHERE!?" Yelled Kyuubi as it tried to find the 'caterpillar,' tails together as it tried moved one way than another. "KILL IT!"
Naruto slammed his foot on the ends of Kyuubi's tails, causing the tailed beast to scream in pain.
"You know what , you don't appreciated a joke." Naruto stated as he raced away from Kyuubi, who was enraged and wanting blood. Ducking behind a tree, Naruto watched as his mad friend raced into the distance. 'That was close.'
Seeing as he was near the creek, Naruto headed towards it to say hi to the nymph that lived there. As he walked, he noticed that something was off. Thinking it was his nerves, Naruto walked to the edge of the forest and came upon Luke and his brother.
Raising his hand, Naruto stepped out and called out to the older boys. Percy's eyes widened as he recalled what the Oracle told him.
You shall go west, and face the god who has turned,
You shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned,
You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend,
And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end.
"NARUTO RUN!"
Before Naruto could respond, Luke suddenly appeared behind him with his sword. Percy's eyes widened as Luke pulled his sword arm back. Naruto cried out in pain and shock as Luke thrust his sword up to the hilt into Naruto's body.
Gabbing Naruto my his hair to keep him from falling, Luke called out to Percy. "Sorry Percy, but it looks like you failed to protect your family after all."
"P..er...cy" Naruto called out to his brother weakly as his body tried to keep him alive. Luke pulled on Naruto's hair, causing the younger boy to cry out. Percy's heart lurched in his chest as Naruto blood started to show though his clothes. "He..help...me..."
"You know, I was going to summon a monster to kill you, but this is soo much better." Luke gloated. "But when Naruto came to our little spot I recalled what you told me when we first met, how your mother tasked you to protect your brother. I wonder how she will look at you when you tell her he died. All that work to make sure that your brother was safe from a war, such a waste."
Percy's blood froze as Luke shifted the blade, causing Naruto to cough up blood.
"You know, I really wish you did take up my offer to join me and the titans. But then I won't have gotten the chance to kill Naruto here." Luke grinned darkly as he saw the rage in Percy's eyes. "But I really must be going."
"YOU AREN"T GOING ANYWHERE!" Percy screamed at Luke as he wiped out his sword.
"Tsk tsk Percy. Don't you care what happens to your brother?"
Percy looked at Naruto, who looked at his brother in the eyes. "Do...it...bro...ther." Naruto's eyes closed as the pain over whelmed his senses as he used the last of his energy to speak. As darkness closed on Naruto he could see his brother heading straight for him and Luke.
Nearby Kyuubi watched as Naruto fell unconscious by blood lost. 'Troublesome ape child.'
