Naruto stood under the hot water of the shower, a sigh of satisfaction escaping his lips as his thoughts drifted to the events of the recent past. He had never expected to end up where he was now, but then again nothing in his life had gone quite in the direction he had planned. From his youth to becoming a shinobi, to the end of the fourth great shinobi war, everything he did or had ever done had been a reaction to the designs of others. But he pushed on, pushed forward, and now he was proud to say that he was quite the accomplished young man and could be just about anything he wanted to be given enough time.
However, the fate that had befallen him as of late was by far the oddest of all the situations he had found himself in. It all began with the end of the Fourth Great Shinobi War. He, his rival, friend and later enemy Sasuke Uchiha and his other friend and former love interest Sakura Haruno finally managed to seal away the god-like being Kaguya Otsutsuki with the help of the Sage of Six Paths and support from their sensei Kakashi Hatake. The battle had been long, tough, and not without losses but they managed to finally bring about her end and bring about relative peace to the shinobi world.
This almost came crashing down however when Sasuke decided he was still attached to the idea of his own perverse version of peace. Naruto and Sasuke had fought, their already beaten and exhausted bodies battling it out at the Valley of the End where they had fought years before as pre-teens. With one final attack, they threw themselves at each other and with it the Valley of the End was destroyed along with a single arm on each of the young men. When the battle was over, Sasuke finally gave up his ways and realized that no matter what his friends would always fight to bring out the best in him. For the first time in years, the last Uchiha had cried in front of others.
Sakura, the healing jutsu expert that she was, had prevented them from bleeding out and got them in good enough condition that they could walk again. Entering the battlefield of the war once again, Naruto bid farewell to the resurrected Hokage including his late father with a heartfelt speech for his father to pass along to his mother. Shortly afterwards the dead men were gone and the world returned to normal. Well, it did for a short while.
Naruto had been resting in the hospital a few nights later, getting used to a new arm covered in bandages and freshly attached to the stump where his old arm used to be. Hashirama Senju's cells were a miracle of science and nature and thanks to them the young Uzumaki and Uchiha both managed to walk away from the conflict with new limbs. Naruto had been wrestling with phantom pains shooting through the foreign limb, stopping him from sleeping. The young blonde remembered sighing to himself and staring at the ceiling, bored out of his mind when suddenly a flash of light entered the room.
The teenage Uzumaki stared on in wonder as the light almost blinded him, the intensity being greater than anything he'd ever seen. After a moment, a figure began to step out from the light and it began to recede. He couldn't see who it was at first, the figure being nothing more than a shadow surrounded by light rays. When the light receded, Naruto's jaw dropped when he was greeted by the site of Kushina Uzumaki, his mother, in some kind of white dress the style he had never seen before. I was like a bed sheet that only went over one shoulder, being held together with a golden seal on the shoulder itself.
To shocked to speak, all Naruto could do was begin to tear up at the sight of the woman he hadn't known for most of his life but in recent months had come to miss the most. The time they had spent together within his fuinjutsu seal was brief, but he treasured it deeply. Seeing her son's reaction, Kushina merely smiled softly at him and slowly made her way around his bed until she pulled up a chair and set next to him. Silently, she took his remaining original hand in both of her own and raised it to her lips. Softly, she kissed it before putting it back down.
"Long have I waited for this moment, my dear Naruto-Kun," Kushina whispered, her radiant smile filling Naruto with a warmth he hadn't felt since he'd seen her last. "Now that this world has been saved, it is time for you to know of me and what I truly am. What WE truly are, and how it will both serve and hinder you in years to come."
"Kaa-San…I've missed you so much," Naruto whispered, tears falling down his whiskered face as he allowed his emotions to overwhelm him.
"I know my sweet boy, and I have missed you too, so very much. I have watched over you every waking moment since the Kyuubi tore us apart, waiting for the moment when I could reenter this world and share with you all that I am," Kushina explained, her own tears falling from her eyes as she did so.
"All that you are? Kaa-San, I don't understand," Naruto said softly, her cryptic world leaving him as curious as he was emotional.
"Naruto, there is something I have always meant to share with you. This is something I only ever shared with your Tou-San, many years ago and nobody else. Please allow me to explain before you ask any questions," Kushina requested, Naruto hesitated for a moment but then nodded in agreement.
Kushina then began recanting the tail of her life, or rather the life she had lived long before she was ever known as Kushina Uzumaki. Her true name, the name that was given to her when she walked from the foam of the ocean on the day of her creation, was Aphrodite. She was a goddess, native to another world parallel to this one where the humans of that world never gained access to chakra and had never encountered humanoid aliens like the Otsutsuki. In that world, a mixture of science and magic reined in their respective domains and she had governed the domains of beauty, love, desire, passion, pleasure, and fertility as a goddess for thousands of years.
She was known by another name by another prominent dead culture of that world, Venus and that had created the conditions where she and her fellows could create different personas of themselves to better represent themselves within those cultures. When the gods had learned of this world, Naruto's world and others like it aeons ago, they had taken on personas to better represent themselves in each world. In this world, she was simply Uzumaki. She was the first of the Uzumaki clan, having married a mortal man with the name Senju and creating the first Uzumaki clan members centuries ago.
When the destruction of her clan came to pass during the Second Great Shinobi War, Aphrodite had been crushed. She had searched through the rubble and found a dying little girl by the name of Kushina. With her permission, Aphrodite and Kushina had joined in body and as the little girl passed into the afterlife the goddess and ancestor of the girl took on her likeness so as to continue the clan legacy. It was during this mortal lifetime she met Naruto's father and gave birth to Naruto himself. As such, Naruto was a demigod son of Uzumaki, of Aphrodite.
"So you see Naruto-Kun, you are so much more than you could have ever known," Kushina concluded softly, smiling down radiantly at her boy with pride and love in her eyes.
"T-That's…insane," Naruto replied, shocked at the revelation but finding no deceit in his mother's eyes. "But, why tell me now? If I'm supposedly so much more than I am now, why not tell me before?"
"Because I couldn't my dear, my power to project into this world was limited by the death of my mortal body. Shinigami, or Thanatos as I know him, insisted on me paying at least some penance for disrupting the natural order by inhabiting a mortal body despite its soul already being long passed. As such, I couldn't project myself into this realm until that penance was paid. As to why now? Because your work is not yet over my son," Kushina answered, bowing her head apologetically.
"I was afraid you might say that," Naruto admitted, there truly was no rest for those who worked in the service of others.
"I am sorry my son, but my realm of origin faces a great danger and furthermore it is lacking in the love and peace you have spread to this world by a large margin," Kushina further explained, her eyes turning sad as she said this. "I have so many sons and daughters in my native realm, but none of them was born from the true love that I shared with your father. None of them has faced quite what you have, or has the power to enact change quite like you can."
"What do you want me to do?" Naruto asked, ignoring the sting in his heart from hearing of his mother's other carnal ventures beyond her marriage to his father.
"I would have you assist the demigods of my world in defending it from the many dangers that arise in this modern age and be the hero I know you to be. As for our domain, I would have you take as many lovers as possible and spread love and peace through my teachings and be the greatest son of Uzumaki, of Aphrodite, that has ever lived," Kushina answered, her tone lifting to show how much faith she had in her child.
"Do you think I can?" Naruto hesitantly asked, averting his gaze from his mother.
"Naruto-Kun," Kushina began, putting his finger under his chin and lifting it so her gaze met his. "I know you can. You have already accomplished so much at such a young age. Anything that my realm could throw at you will be child's play in comparison ya know!"
Naruto's eyes widened when he heard his mother let out their shared verbal tick, a unique trait that bound them together across life and death. A new batch of tears falling from his eyes, the young blonde merely nodded and smiled up at his mother.
"Then I'll do it because I never go back on my word ya' know!" Naruto replied, getting a radiant smile from his mother before she leaned down and kissed his forehead.
It would only be a moment later that Naruto would find himself in a forest, a blinding light enveloped him and his mother as she kissed him and then left him by himself with only a whisper of "I love you my dear Naruto" echoing within his mind. Trying to get his bearings, Naruto walked up an embankment in front of him maybe three meters tall and when he reached the peak it was as if reality warped around him as a huge encampment of wooden buildings surrounded by wooden fortifications appeared in front of him.
That is how he had made it to Camp Halfblood. He had been claimed as a Son of Aphrodite shortly afterwards and went through camp orientation shortly afterwards, settling in rather quickly as he got to know his half-brothers & sister as well as his many distant relations. It quickly became apparent this was a camp for demigods and goddesses to live in relative safety and hone their skills. Having been a shinobi his entire life, Naruto took to this like a fish to water. Many of his peers had been impressed by his skills, though the children of Ares were somewhat miffed by how easily he bested them.
Naruto had made the executive decision not to reveal his chakra to the other campers. It was a foreign concept to them and if they found out just how much more powerful than them he was, it would only help to put a target on his back. Still, he used it in small ways to give him the advantage and even with the skills of a genin he put himself far and above the rest when it came to most things. The real challenge came when he started to learn the magical abilities he possessed as a son of Aphrodite, or Uzumaki as he privately liked to call her. It had taken time, but he did begin to get the hang of them.
This led him to today, standing in the shower deep in contemplation as he had decided it was time to begin enacting his mission to help spread love and peace throughout the world. He had decided the best place to start would be within Camp Halfblood itself. Getting people together had been easy enough, but now he needed to start working on his own little circle of lovers to help him in his mission. Sighing, Naruto switched off the shower and decided to head to his room to think about it some more. Wrapping a towel around his muscular frame, the young blonde walked out of the shower room and headed towards his bedroom when suddenly he stopped dead in his tracks.
Coming out of the lady's communal showers, wrapped in towels much like himself were Piper McLean and Annabeth Chase. Piper McLean was technically Naruto's half-sister, a fellow child of Aphrodite though in her actual Aphrodite persona in Piper's case. Annabeth was a daughter of Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom among some other things Naruto had yet to memorize. Seeing these two young women in nought but towels caused the young blonde to instantly realise that his search for the first of his harem would not be so hard after all. Both girls were gorgeous, kind and smart young women from what he had seen and observed and that was never more obvious than at that very moment.
Piper was every bit what you would expect from a daughter of Aphrodite. She was a short but slender young woman with a perfect hourglass figure and flawless, dark skin. The latter once again thanks to Aphrodite and her being of Cherokee descent. Naruto had always seen her with no makeup and choppy, uneven hair with thin braids falling down her shoulders. No hot-blooded male could miss the fact that her breasts and ass were also quite big, perfectly round and a sight to behold. Naruto had to guess she was probably an F or G cup, not that he'd ever wonder out loud of course.
Annabeth was certainly a knockout also despite not being a daughter of Aphrodite. She was taller, with a more athletic figure and defined muscles. She had long blonde hair set into perfect curls and enchanting stormy grey eyes, different but in his opinion not less beautiful than the kaleidoscope eyes children of Aphrodite possessed. While her body wasn't quite Piper's when it came to sex appeal, she certainly had enough going on to turn heads. With a pretty face that she accented with a hint of makeup, full lips, a nice, firm backside and breasts Naruto estimated as D or DD, he wasn't certain.
Watching them go, Naruto felt like Ero-Sennin as he shamelessly looked on and took in every each of their exposed skin. He wanted them, and he wanted them to want him. At that moment the young blonde could have sworn he heard the enchanting laughter of his mother in his ear as if she was encouraging him to go forward with his pursuit. When the girls turn the corner and were out of sight, Naruto shook his head to get out of the stupor he had momentarily found himself in. A look of determination spread across his face and he made his way back to his room with a single thought in mind.
He was going to seduce both of those women and make his and Uzumaki's ambitions a reality.
