Kratos was immediately on guard noticing that he and Atreus had been taken to a new realm, one outside his knowledge. Placing his arm behind his back in preparation of grabbing his axe he looks around to see a large field full of statues, pillars and strange symbols, two strange looking vortexes on opposite sides of the field , and a ball in the middle of the field.

"What is this place?" Kratos asked as he noticed that no one else was here except them.

"Like i said earlier this is smite it's a realm out of the pantheon's realm. A realm between the pantheons, so to speak.This is the arena battle ground in particular. Where most gods have their fun." Naruto said as he wanted to skip ahead, figuring his old man wouldn't care about the arena.

"So the gods play some sort of sport here?" Atreus asked, confused as he looked around the area.

"That's right. You see that giant ball in the center." Pele said, pointing at the ball.

"That ball is used to score points in the Arena." She said

"But how do you play?" Atreus said as Kratos tried to move on.

"Well 3 gods team up and try to get the ball into the opponent's portal using their powers. While the other team tries to prevent them from scoring. That's the only way I can explain it." Pele said, rubbing the back of her head. (Basically Basketball for those who are lost)

"That sounds like fun." Sol said, floating around the area in a hyper manner.

Just as anything else was about to be said Pele noticed what time it was.

"Sorry Ipo (I'm assuming the Hawaiian term for lover if not I apologize) it's time for my meeting with my family. It was nice meeting you all." She said as rushed over to Naruto and kissed him on the cheek before walking a few feet then teleporting away in a flash of purple electricity.

Naruto, seeing that his wife left, also noticed that Sol disappeared and turned to his brother and father.

"Wait where'd Sol go?" Naruto asked.

"She said something about looking for something fun to do." Atreus said

"Well Frigg will probably find her anyway." Naruto said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Brother if you don't mind my asking why are we here?" Atreus asked.

"Simple, I'm showing the two of you what I do." Naruto said as he patted his little brother's head.

"The remains to be seen." Kratos said speaking for the first time in a few minutes.

"Jeez calm down we're getting to that be patient will ya." Naruto said as he entered a hallway.

"Hmph come boy" Kratos said as he followed his eldest son.

Naruto was leading them around showing them the areas that the realm of smite were mostly used for.

Naruto right now was showing them the dueling area of smite. The jousting area consists of a single lane with a small little side jungle.

"Cool, what's this area?" Atreus asked

"This is the Jousting area where gods challenge each other to improve their skills or ranking amongst each other. It's mostly used for 1v1 battles but you can gather up 2 other teammates if you want in this mode." Naruto explains to them.

"Wait but if gods use it to increase their ranking what rank are you? Atreus asked, truly curious.

"Lotta questions today huh little brother but I'll indulge you here's the ranking for the warrior role." Naruto said as he pulled out the ranking list.

1:Shiva

The Destroyer

2:Gilgamesh

King of Uruk

3: Amaterasu

The Shining light

4: Naruto

The Hound of Midgard

5: Mulan

The Ascendant Warrior

6:Erlang Shen

The illustrious Sage

7:Sun Wukong

The Monkey King

8:Horus

The Rightful Heir

9:Chaac

God of Rain

10:Guan Yu

Saint of War

"Wow you must be really strong if you're so high on the list." Atreus said gaining a little more respect for his elder brother.

"Most of those warriors don't sound like gods." Kratos said as he was curious about these warriors his son spoke of.

"That's because a good portion of people here aren't gods every now and then there are people that join us that don't have any godly heritage they just join in to help protect their realms." Naruto said

"What we fight can not be defeated by God's alones truth be told we will need all the help we can ge-." Naruto was interrupted by the sounds of soft footsteps and a feminine voice calling his name.

"Naruto, are you here? We've got a new mission to prepare for." Both Kratos and Atreus turn to see a beautiful woman right behind them.

This woman was a few inches shorter than Naruto. She had brown eyes and jet black hair which was in a tightly pulled bun and held up using a hair ornament leaving the rest of her hair on the right side of her face. She was wearing gold and grey armor with small pieces of jade attached to it and was wearing red clothing underneath her armor. This was Mulan The Ascendant Warrior.

Mulan notices Two new people bow in the traditional Chinese way for women. "Ni hao!" She says, offering her greetings.

Kratos and Atreus have a somewhat confused look on their faces until they hear "That's hello in her culture."

"Um Hi" Atreus said after a moment of silence.

"Guys this is Mulan. Mulan, these are my father and brother." Naruto said introducing them.

"It is an honor to meet you ,but I'm sorry to say we are needed for a mission." Mulan said politely

"Wait, I thought you already had a mission. To wipe out the Aesir?" Atreus asked, confused.

"They may be true but I haven't really started that one yet. I just came by to visit you guys. So what's the mission this time Mulan. I hope it's not that stupid mission where we have to feed Bastets cats again." Naruto said jokingly remembering the last time he did that mission he smelled like cat food for a week.

"No." She said" We are hunting The Morrigan." She said seeing anger rise from her comrade.

"I see well I'm going to go get ready." Naruto said as he walked off.

Atreus, seeing his brother's anger, turned to Mulan and asked. " Is something wrong?"

Mulan knowing the purpose behind her friend's anguish, says." Yes you see, one of our targets today killed someone close to Naruto. A brother figure to him. His name was Setanta but he was more known as CuChulainn The Hound of Ulster."

"He is acting like a child. His comrade knew what he was signing up for when he became a warrior. It's just as I thought he is still a boy." Kratos said

"Actually it's not the fact that he was killed that angers him. A few years ago CuChulainn was one of the most powerful warriors of his realm. It's why Morrigan asked CuChulainn to marry her; he refused , so she cursed him to death. It forced Naruto to realize that most gods are just as cruel and vile as the mortals they claim to rule. That day hurt all of us but it hurt Naruto the most." Mulan said, looking down sadly.

"Wow they must have been close." Atreus said thinking about the information he had just heard.

"Yes it makes sense they both joined around the same time they both were given the title of Hound and both were some of the strongest to ever join this organisation. They were brothers in arms ,rivals, and the best of friends ,but his death hurt him to a high level. CuChulainn was one of the strongest mortal warriors to enter this realm. If he was still alive he and Naruto would be tied for the 4th spot. He was a role model for most of the new recruits." Mulan said, bowing her head.

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that. But brother is strong he will be able to pull through." Atreus said believing in his elder brother.

Mulan giggled before rubbing atreus's head before leaving to prepare for her mission.

Naruto came back wearing a new outfit ( He's wearing Prototype Cu Chulainn armor). He carried a new weapon sheathed on his left hip.The Kusanagi no Tsurugi is a legendary sword in Japanese folklore given to him by Amaterasu as a gift. Oddly enough it looked like a regular katana but it was one of the strongest weapons he possessed. Naruto turned and realised he forgot to send Kratos and Atreus back home remembering that they wanted to see what he's been doing. He just figures he'll send them back home after the mission's done.

Kusanagi no Tsurugi

Ability: Illuminating Strike

Whenever an opponent is hit by the blade their overall defense is weakened and the blade gains an orange or red glow.

"Where's Neith?" Naruto asked Mulan as he made sure he was properly prepared.

"She already went ahead. She'll be waiting for us when we get there." Mulan said as she finished examining her weapons.

"Well then let's end this." Naruto said as a portal appeared in front of the two of them.

" Brother, wait." Naruto turned and noticed Kratos and Atreus walking towards them.

"We're coming with you." Atreus said, making sure his bow was tightly secured.

"That isn't necessary, we should be fine for this battle." Naruto said, waving them off.

"This is not up for debate. We will join you in your mission. Your brother needs more battle experience ,and seems like a good chance to learn more about your allies." Kratos said

The Emerald Isle

Not really up for arguing with the striped god he turned around and walked through the portal. Right as they arrived they noticed that no one was around and the group noticed they were in an empty town. The group noticed strange white marks all over the place. Naruto and Mulan, knowing what these are, started examining the areas the marks were currently positioned.

"These are Neith's; she must have gotten into a fight." Naruto said as he took a knee in front of one the marks.

"What are they?" Atreus asked, confused.

"These are Neith's broken weaves. She uses them to fight. Seeing that they are almost everywhere she must have had to fight for a while." Naruto said as he stood up.

"EXPLOSION"

Hearing the explosion Naruto and Mulan ran towards the sight of the blast to see two people aiming their weapons at each other.

The first one dark skinned woman gold wearing revealing clothing that leaves little to the imagination. She has blue eyes, purple short hair with a gold stripe spread throughout her body. This was Neith the Egyptian Weaver of Fate.

Standing across from her was another Neith exactly the same in every way.

"It's about time you guys got here." The Neith's said in unison while still staring at their opponent daring them to make a move.

"What's going on?" Atreus asked, drawing his bow.

"One of them is The Morrigan. She has the ability to transform into people ,but we don't know which one of them is her." Naruto said, eyeing them both carefully.

Noticing everyone's eyes on them both, Neith waited for a sign of movement for the other ,until one Neith moved and shot an arrow at the other. Starting their own fight.

While they were focused on the two Neith's a feminine presence appeared behind Atreus.

"Well aren't you a cute kid." Atreus heard behind how before feeling a crimson chain wrap around his body picking him up.

"Huh what the. Father" Atreus yelled out as he was being picked up by a crimson chain.

The group turns to look behind and see Atreus being lifted in the air. Kratos first instinct was to throw his ax at the chain before another one reached out and grabbed the ax by its handle mid flight.

Naruto, not expecting this, reached into his inventory to grab an item while his brother was being dragged across the ground towards a large red cylinder. Atreus tried cutting the chain with his knife ,but the chain was too strong.

"Atreus" Naruto yelled as he threw a multi-colored orb at his brother who barely caught it.

"Crush the orb." Naruto yelled as Atreus crushes it, turning him golden and destroying the chain.

"Boring, leaving it to The Hound to ruin my fun. Looks like I'll have to do this the old fashioned way." The feminine voice said as she jumped down from the cylinder.

This woman had black hair tied in a bun wearing gold and jade colored hair ornaments. Wearing a red, green and gold outfit with golden metal sharpens claws, but her most defining feature was her nine orange-whiteish tails.

Da Ji

The Nine-Tailed Fox

"I have to give it to you. I didn't expect to show up so quickly, but it doesn't matter if I get to kill the last hound." Daji said, igniting her claws before rushing and the group.

"Son, we will handle her, you will help your ally. Atreus stay behind me." Kratos said recalling his ax as he rushed at Daji expecting her to attack him but she disappeared.

"You know fighting me is foolish young man. I guess you'll have to learn." Atreus heard behind him as he froze in fear.

Kratos, realizing where his opponent disappeared, threw his axe at Daji as she picked up Atreus and used him as a shield. Just as the was about to reach the two of them the axe was recalled to Kratos.

Both of the Neith's were still fighting each other before one of them shot a much bigger arrow hitting her target triggering an explosion stunning and temporarily blinding her opponent. Crouching down she focused her power and shot a much more powerful arrow. The arrow traveled around the world before it hit its true target.

Naruto, Mulan and Kratos didn't wanna risk hurting Atreus but still held their guard up. Seeing his chance Arries headbutted Daji's nose causing it to bleed.

""Groans in pain" Dammit you little bastard. I'll enjoy making you suff-." She couldn't even finish her sentence as Neith's arrow stabbed itself into her stomach causing her to drop Atreus before dropping down to one knee.

"That bitch." she uttered before she looked up and saw Naruto and Kratos rushing upon her. Trying to muster what little power she had left. She tried to teleport to get away from the both of them. Just as she gained enough strength to do so she felt another arrow with a rope attached to it piece her shoulder dragging her body closer to the father-son duo. She looked over to where the arrow came from and saw Mulan standing in a firing position aimed at her. She looked up at the last thing she saw was the ax that decided her fate.

Daji's head rolled from her shoulders as her headless body slumped to the ground.

Seeing that her partner has been killed, the still trapped Neith released her transformation revealing her true form. The Morrigan the Celtic goddess of war and death. She had black wild hair marks all over her body and was wearing purple revealing clothes.

"Dia ort!" She said waving her hand at them while also making a barrier around the area leaving out Atreus, Mulan and Neith leaving only the father son duo left to fight.

"It's good to see you after so long, Hound." The Morrigan said before roasting her spear in the air, sending a clone of herself at them.

Dark Omen

The clone sent out a blast of dark magic aiming at Kratos. Kratos blocked the blast with his ax, causing it to release a small explosion which Kratos tanked. Recovering from the blast Kratos charged at the clone who was still sending smaller darker blasts. Too focused on his charge he didn't notice the another one appearing behind him with two other clones stabbing him in the back with their spears.

Deadly Aspects

"Gah" Kratos groans in pain, feeling three spears stab him at once.

Naruto, seeing his chance, tackles The Morrigan. Mid tackle The Morrigan transforms into a raven revealing herself to be a clone.

"It seems this battle is finally getting interesting. Allow me to even out the odds." She said summoning another clone this time it was a lot more powerful than the others.

"Do what we say, lost soul." The clone said changing her appearance letting her body be inhabited by the soul she was using.

The clone's body changed completely, transforming into a shirtless tattooed muscular male. He had blonde hair, a green stripe across his face and a dog tattoo on his chest and a gold broighter collar. He was wearing green cloth around his arms with gold spikes sticking out. He also was wearing blue baggy pants with a green and gold warbelt.

(Bruiser CuChulainn outfit.)

He was CuChulainn The Hound of Ulster and he was confused. He looked around noticing that this place seemed familiar till he realized he was in Ireland, his home. He noticed he was summoned in the middle of a battle. He saw his best friend standing across from him staring at him in shock.

"Brother, why am I here?" Cu asked as remembered his death.

"Simple Setanta, you're here because I commanded it. You defied me in life so you shall serve me in death." The Morrigan said appearing behind CuChulainn and started using her magic to control him.

"Now Hounds of War, this battle will decide who is superior." She said preparing for battle with a mind-controlled Cu getting in a battle stance.

Naruto and Kratos knowing what was coming next prepared for battle.

The two hounds rushed at each other with Cu jabbing at Naruto with one hand and grabbing Naruto's sword arm with his other hand. Both struggling to keep the other at bay Naruto tried reasoning with his friend. "Come on Setanta, you're stronger than this, don't let her control you.' Cu said nothing to his friend's plea and continued the fight.

While the hounds were fighting Kratos was surrounded by clones of The Morrigan before coating his ax in ice before slamming it onto the ground releasing a wave of ice magic knocking back his opponent. The Morrigan recovered and conjured a ball of magic and shot it toward Kratos. Raising his shield he blocked the magic blast sending him flying a few feet back before coming to a stop.

Naruto and Cu were still fighting. Naruto knowing what getting stabbed by his spear meant did everything he could to block or dodge it. Cu swung his spear aiming to take Naruto's head off. Blocking the spear Naruto uppercuts. Cu's chin sent him flying into the air before Naruto grabbed his head, spun him around and bashed his head into the ground. Recovering as quickly as possible, Cu punched Naruto in the gut before backing up to get some distance.

Mulan pov

Mulan ,and Neith were watching the fight while making sure Atreus was healthy. While Atreus himself was just worried about his father and brother

"Are they gonna be ok?" Atreus asked staring at Neith while she was watching the fight.

"They'll be fine. Your father and brother can protect themselves." Neith said with a positive smile on her face.

"Neith's right at this point the best we can do is sit here and wait until it's over." Mulan said until they heard a roar of rage.

"Grraargh!"

Earlier

Cu had managed to knock away Naruto's sword into a nearby tree putting him in a more defensive position. Cu jumped into the air and came down swinging his spear toward Naruto's head. Dodging his strike Naruto stepped into the spear stabbing it into the solid ground making Cu unable to let it before punching Cu square in the jaw sending him flying a few feet.

Cu finally reached his breaking point his body started twitching and throbbing before he lets out a roar of rage before going in to his berserk state.

"Grraargh!"

"It looks like Cu on his last legs." Naruto thought as Cu started thrashing at the ground.

Cu raised his dominant hand and smashed it into the ground causing the ground to rumble due to his strength. Cu then dashes at Naruto before punching him through several trees.

Naruto recovers and dashes at Cu before grabbing his sword on the way back to the fight.

After reaching Cu Naruto slashes at Cu 6 times before Cu slams his right hand where Naruto's head used to be. Naruto jumped and drop kicks Cu through several trees before appearing right where Cu landed and stabbed him through the stomach.

Kratos pov

Kratos was utterly sick of this goddess mocking him but he noticed she was running out of steam. So he rushed towards her as she launched a single powerful magical blast towards him which he used his shield to block.

"You think you've changed, you think it's over? Your sins will haunt you for the rest of your days. As long as those who share your blood remain they are doomed to suffer. Your son's will despise you just as everyone else has. Then you will be alone rotting away, forgotten until your demise just like every other beast and monster. Because that's what you deserve, Spartan." She said before Kratos managed to get close enough to her and managed to stab her with his knife.

"You talk too much." Kratos said thrusting the knife deeper before pulling it out causing The Morrigan to blood out.

Naruto pov

Naruto stood over Cu's body watching him fade away meaning that his father killed The Phantom Queen.

"Goodbye old friend, may you finally rest." Naruto said as Cu body fully disappeared leaving his Katana stuck in the ground. Pulling it out he placed it back into its sheath before turning around and returning to the group.

"Brother are you ok?" Atreus asked as he tried to comfort his brother.

"I'm fine, just glad that it's done." Naruto said

"I'm sorry you had to go through this ,but at least Cu Chulainn can rest knowing you avenged him." Mulan said as she pulled her friend into a hug.

"Brother I'm sorry about your friend you two seemed close." Atreus

"You ally was a great warrior. You should feel proud knowing put his soul at ease." Kratos said

"Yeah, don't be hard on yourself. Setanta would be proud of you, Naruto." Neith said as she also gave him a hug.

"Thank you guys. Here you can use this to get home and visit if you feel like it." Naruto said, pulling out another blue rune before handing it to his father.

"Just crush it and it should take you back home. I would join you but I've got a council of gods to report back to." Naruto said before pulling his brother into a hug before nodding to his father who nodded back before crushing the rune sending them back to Midgard.
