I really am sorry this is nearly a full week late. But here is chapter 24 and I hope you all like it. I hope that your minds are all set for a chapter of 95% Naruto and Diana/Artemis. Now I really would like you all to review this chapter and details are down below. Enjoy

Zoe and the rest of the hunt waited for their mistress to finish with her game. The mood around the camp was of amusement of the idea that a youngster like Naruto could stand a chance playing a game with their mistress. Bets over how long, how and where Diana would defeat the boy. Coins, blankets and various trinkets were moved around as they all waited for the result of his demise.

But for now Zoe was enjoying one of her favorite past times, making storybooks for children while drinking tea. An old style tea from the ninth century of various herbs and a hint of honey had help her to relax for many years and no one got in the way of her tea time. The last time that someone tried she tied them to a raft, covered them in nectar and honey, unleashed a swarm of fire ants and set the boat onto open water. Artemis had to run interference with Poseidon and Hades after that event as the one who died for ruining Zoe's tea time was their granddaughter.

As for the storybooks, she enjoyed entertaining young mortals with her tells of adventures and making them up so that she could bring a little light in times of darkness. She loved doing it even if she had to deal with Apollo's constant flirting and attempts to sway her into becoming a full time writer. She enjoyed her work in the hunt too much to be a full time writer. Ironically, Aphrodite was a fan of her work and promised to reduce the annoyance to the hunt for autograph copies of her romance/tragedies novels.

Looking up to the sky, Zoe frowned as the sky was slowly beginning to lighten up as the night ended and the day began.

'Be safe my goddess.' She prayed in her head as she lifted her tea cup to her lips. It was to her complete surprise that a crackling sound came from her cup and the contents in it fell onto her lap making her scream in pain and shock. Her sisters and her looked at the ruin remains of the cup in horror as it was one Artemis had crafted during an event only a decade ago.

"What does this mean?" A random hunter asked as she handed Zoe a towel to dry herself.

Zoe gave her an uneasy smile. "I don't know. This has never happened before... Perhaps I was holding it too tightly or the ceramics gave way."

As the rest of the hunt relaxed and slowly went back to waiting, Zoe was in a deep train of thought. She knew something was wrong but she could not but her finger on the cause. Saying a prayer for her mistress as that was all she could do, she tried to relax... only to see the blasted fox taking her notebook!

"GET BACK HERE! GIRLS IT"S BACK! KILL IT!"

...

Diana stared hard at the boy she had trapped. He was against the cliff wall with smooth rocks faces on the sides of him and her blocking the only way out. Yet he was acting as if he had her trapped. The cocky smile of his almost made her pause until she noticed something.

With a sneer she prepared herself to jump. "I must tip my head my to your thinking boy but did you really think that simple coverup of leaves would hide your pit trap?"

Naruto's eyes widen as the goddess leapt into the air over his trap. As she came down she mental signed as the hunt was over, even if it was harder than what she was used to it was still over ans she won again. That was until the ground gave way from under her. The comical look that was plastered on her face as the ground disappeared made Naruto wish he had a camera. Peering into the pit from the lip he was standing on let him see the goddess laying flat on her back with spirals around her eyes from the fall.

"Oi! I thought that you saw my trap but you went into it anyway. Why is that?" Naruto asked with confusion/concern. He didn't want to be responsible for her having to reform herself. Hearing a groan, he slowly inched his way around the pit so that he could vacate the area before she woke up. He was almost to solid ground and safety when he heard a rumble. It was only do to slipping that he avoided the blast of steam from the pit that carried the now awake and screeching goddess high in the air. He winced as the goddess landed hard on the cliff side and realized that she was going to make him hurt even more once she had her hands on him.

With that thought in mind the demigod raced away from the area as fast as his legs could muster. As he ran he made note of the terrain and slowly made his next plan to avoid the goddess. He knew that he stood no chance. He knew that she was the hunt incarnate with thousands of years of experience to recall. There was no one is myth or any story he knew of anyone avoiding her when she was on her hunt.

He didn't care.

He was going to be the first one to say he challenged the hunt and won. Yes she was taking the game lightly before and he had taken her by surprise several times but he knew that the goddess was now going to bring her A game and end it before time was up. Let her bring it! He was Naruto Jackson and he wasn't going to let her win! He was going to spit on fate's collective face and change everything! He was going to do the impossible!

He was Naruto Jackson, dattebayo!

Spying a cave and prints he got another idea that would get him into so much trouble. 'But so worth it.'

Acting quickly he wiped away the prints leading to the cave and made sure he left his own prints leading to the entrance and slightly beyond then hightailed it to hide in the reeds. After several minutes went by and a shadow began to move in the forest. Naruto almost missed it but as he was preparing to sneeze but he held it in as the goddess was marching towards the cave, bow drawn and ready for use, a furious expression on her face that promised great physical harm to the one that harmed her pride and ego. Naruto bite his lip as he tried to suppress his giggle as she entered the cave.

'5...4...3...2...1-'

"AAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Diana raced out of the cave as the grizzly that owned it gave chase with an arrow up it's butt and pissed off from the rude awakening. Naruto watched as the goddess avoided the bear as best she could as she was not in a position to fend it off after the night she was having. Being limited to the physical capabilities of a twenty-five year old female without powers was taxing her sanity as she was losing to a boy that had yet to reach his tenth year!

She severally hoped no one was recording this episode of her life and knew that this could be do to her slacking off on her practice as a huntress. Diana and Artemis knew that Nemesis was punishing her though Naruto, but that did not mean that the minor goddess was going to get off for having a child best her in her game! The goddess of the hunt swore that the next hunt she went on was to see how many arrow could Nemesis's bike could take before it had to go to the shop.

As she ducked under a swing of one of the bear's paws she watched as her target once more raced away, this time following the river with a length of vine around his body. Quickly knocking the bear out she gave chase once more and readied her bow. Taking aim she watched as the arrow's fight rang true... And watched with a twitch in her eye as he fell down on his face in the river by accident and avoid her arrow. Suppressing the feeling to scream at the unfairness of the game she readied another arrow, only for him to disappear around the bend.

"Heh heh... Bawh ha ha ha! I will get you demigod! I will make you suffer for this! Your screams will make the sinners in the field of punishment seem like whimpers of frighten children! I will make you knee at my feet and beg for mercy as I slowly skin you alive! I'll-"

'She's going to kill me!' Naruto's heart pounded as he tried to stay away from the huntress. As he raced away from the bow wielding goddess who had clearly started to lose it, Naruto wondered if it was a good Idea to have Kyuubi make changes to her tent. He did say that he could do so with a little help from a friend as she was no friend of the hunt and she owed the hunt some pain and humiliation.

Shaking his head to clear it he was barely able to avoid the goddess's fist from being introduced to his face. But the glancing blow sent him to the grown where the goddess was quick to capitalize on her chance. She pushed him to the ground and quickly forced him into submission. Seeing no way out naruto took a chance and headbutted her, breaking her nose and confusing her into let go as the ichor dripped down her face. Naruto went on the attack and the two struggled on the muddy shoreline as mud began to cover their bodies and clothes began to give way.

It was soon that naruto stopped fighting and closed his eyes much to Diana's confusion. "Why dis you stop?"

"Umm...err...ah.." Naruto stammered as he tried to avoid looking at the goddess, even if it meant that she once more had the advantage.

A tick mark formed on Diana's brow as she wondered why he looked so uneasy to stare at her. "Spit it out boy!"

"...Your clothes..."

'My top?' Glancing down she shirked as her body was showing more skin then what she would ever wear and it was barely covering her bits. She jumped off the boy and began to reorganize her cloths only to find several critters and gotten in them and were... You can just imagine guys as she would burn this book if I wrote it in here.

...

Kyuubi snickered as he placed a air-horn trap in the mouth of the bear of Artemis's tent in amusement. He was enjoying himself too much but he was a fox and fox's were natural tricksters at heart. It wasn't for kicks that myths called them agents/makers of chaos. he was finished prepping her bed with itching powder, relabeling her creams with other bottles. Her nectar he laced with laxatives and food with hot chilly, along with mixing some 'special' music to listen to to the hot tub. To top it all off he made sure to leave a calling card of Hermes hidden so that he would not be blamed for the ensuring chaos.

As he finished his work his mate barked out a warning that he needed to hurry up. Kyuubi rolled his eyes at her worry as he cleaned up after himself. As he did so he noticed something off with one of the artifacts in the tent. Walking over to the stag he looked at the neck. There was a hairline, barely visible line that if it wasn't for being trapped in a seal due to ninja he may have never noticed.

"What do we have here?" He asked as he twisted the head. Looking inside his eyes widened and a shit eating grin crossed his face.

...

Naruto awoke with a wince as his head bounced on some rocks. He was being dragged back to camp by the huntress, who wore an indifferent look on her face as she was busy chatting with her counterpart on the hunt and both were in agreement that while it was the most aggravating hunt they have had in to long of a time, they were both at odds on what to do to punish Naruto for the humiliation they went though.

For Diana, as a roman goddess she was all for making him suffer for what had happened as he was too young to be trusted to keep his mouth shut that he lead her on a chase for several hours. She thought that several hours working on sharpening arrow heads was a perfect punishment and motivation for him to get better. While he lacked proper discipline and his techniques were rather basic in nature, Diana was sure that given time he would be a fine demigod of considerable tactics and may reach his dream of becoming a ninja demigod. She thought that an assassin suited him as even the empire employed them to quell rebellions and remove threats silently. The silence blade preserves the peace after all.

Artemis was another matter. She was amused and thankful it was her counterpart that was the one humiliated and not her. For her it was a breath of fresh air that the game didn't end so fast as it was rather boring doing almost the same hunts over and over again over the years. She was proud of Naruto as he showed that he was adaptable and was willing to pick and chose his fights instead of rushing to conclusions like some fool. He acted like a true predator, not some weak and feeble prey that could only run and hide like some rabbit. No, Naruto acted like a hunter who's only chance in defeating a larger more experienced predator was to change the rules and make the playing field lean towards his advantages.

The issue was on how to express how they felt about the match as Naruto lost just before time was up. It wasn't her proudest moment of victory as the poor boy was black and blue from the beat down that happened when she noticed him rolling on the ground laughing at her attempts to remove a rather large trout from under her tunic. A bear would hopefully enjoy the fish after she got it out and flung it out of sight.

Naruto was unaware of her internal debate and was thinking of ways to escape her grip. A sudden urge made him think of a simple why he could get her to release him, if only for a moment. "Umm, excuse me?"

Diana glanced at the boy she was dragging. "What is it?"

"I have to go pee."

Diana and Artemis blinked their eyes at the demigod. Did he really think that they would let him go to use a tree? A chance he would probably use to escape? "No."

"But I really have to go."

"You should have gone sooner." The huntress wondered if human children were granted the ability to use the puppy look as a natural defense against the titans and gods.

"Please."

"I said no boy. You can wait until we get back to camp and I will have you watch as I eat the cookies in front of you slowly for your use of that herd of Bison."

"Last I checked I could use the Odyssey for an idea on escaping you."

"The Odyssey did not include the use of bison but with sheep. there is also the fact that he did not use the sheep to attack the monster and escape in the chaos."

"I used what I could... And I thought it was funny."

"That you nearly got yourself killed and injured me until the game was over!?"

"Well you weren't looking and I still need to go pee."

"...No..."

"...Is it because I used shit in that trap?" Diana's eyebrow twitched as the boy began to list the traps she had been a victim of with a fury. She began to think that this boy was doing his best to piss her off so she could release him.

She gave him a smile that contained no sense of joy and stared into his eyes. "Shut. Up."

"...I still need to go..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...Please?"

"No."

Naruto scrunched up his face and looked at the goddess hard. "I NEED TO GO NOW!"

Started at the look and tone, she released him. Naruto quickly went to a tree and unzipped his pants and let out a steady stream of piss. As for the goddess, she turned away once she heard the sound of Naruto relieving himself. When the sound ended and she was about to turn around around when he yelled at her to not look. To make sure she didn't Naruto yelled that if she did all of the members of the Greek would would know she was a pervert who took pleasure at looking at virgin boys.

She wasn't having a good morning. As soon as Naruto was finished, the goddess flashed them to the camp as she was though with walking. Upon arriving, she noticed that her hunters were gone. Concerned, she reached out with her powers to see where they were and their state of mind. With a groan, she discovered that they were after the same fox that stole their meal from before.

Dragging the protesting boy, Diana tied him to the stake and went to her tent to take a nap. The game was once the hunt returned and she wanted to sleep off the events of the game.

"Psst, Naruto!" Kyuubi hissed as he slowly moved out of the underbrush. "We're all set up here... How was the game?"

Naruto grinned at his friend. "It was fun," he answered in a low voice so the goddess would not over hear. "How long until?"

"We have ten minutes before the hunters comeback..." A screech of outrage and a flash of light from the tent of the goddess made the nine tailed fox pause. "And now at least thirty with her going aver her brother for the pranks in her tent."

"I do hope she doesn't harm him too much. It would be a terrible shame if he faded from her rage." Naruto spoke with a tone that did not match his face as Kyuubi finished releasing him from the ropes. "And now for our exit. But first, the cookies."

"No worries." Kyuubi passed naruto a silver bag. "Got them all in here with the stink cookies your brother made in their place. Plus a little extra insurance for blackmailing her."

"...Please don't say you stole her panties." Naruto deadpanned as they fled the camp, racing away towards their mission goal. The traveler for all his jerkiness, had given him a compass that pointed towards the jar and it was dead south of the hunter's camp and moving towards the coast at a steady rate.

Kyuubi flicked his ears in annoyance. "Of course not... I stole her panties and stash of porn."

Their shared laughter filled the park as they got away.

Did you enjoy it? Review then and show your appreciation.

Why should you?

For the next chapter I am taking ideas from you the readers on who Naruto will face to get closer to the jar.

So give me you ideas of what monsters he will face or enemy demigods he will face.

Give me your ideas in a review or even a pm, but reviews are more fun to read as you can send details though the pms.

(Plus I would like to see if I can get more than 25 reviews in a single chapter.)

Also there will be a poll coming shortly after this chapter is posted for Percy.

So review and enjoy the day.

May the four be with you until the revenge of the fifth everyone!
