AN: Just so anyone knows, there is going to be a scene that may make some tear up. I fought my own tears back as I wrote it. Do NOT call it an angsty scene, because it isn't! It's a heartwarming scene of a family finally reuniting after a long time. Once again, I say do NOT call it an angsty scene, chick-flick-ish, yes, but NOT angsty.

Summary: During his stay on a hidden continent to the rest of the world as a part of his preparation to take the throne, the All-Father-in-training falls for a red-headed beauty with a feisty temper. A few months later, she is preparing to give birth when Loki sends a beast with nine-tails after them. Thor, utilizing his disguise as a random shinobi named, Namikaze Minato, sacrifices his own son and his physical form in this realm (again) to seal the demon within his son. Twelve years pass, and the son of the God of Thunder and King of Asgard, does something to unleash his hidden potential, and now he will have to prove why he is...

SON OF THOR

2: New God of Thunder

Naruto rubbed his eyes as the light faded that had blinded him. When he could see once again, his hands instantly went to his hammer as a strange dark skinned man with square yellow eyes and golden arm stood before him with a massive sword in his hands. Preparing to fight, Naruto hopped to his feet and settled into a sloppy fighting stance with his hammer in hand.

"Hmm," the man said, his voice sounding almost omniscient to the blonde, "They did hinder your skills, didn't they milord? Come. Your King awaits you."

"Who are you?" Naruto demanded before the man could even turn away. The man looked down at him with the square golden eyes that slightly creeped the blonde out.

"I am Heimdall, Guardian of the Bridge, Naruto Thor'sson," Heimdall said in his omniscient voice, "Now come...the Warriors Three await you at the other side of the bridge. I must return to my duties."

Getting a pulse from Hi-ishi, informing the blonde that he should do as instructed, Naruto reluctantly relaxed slightly before walking out of the strange sphere-like room he had awoken in. He followed Heimdall outside, shielding his eyes from the immense bright light before having his jaw drop in awe of the beautiful land before him.

"The Rainbow Bridge..." Heimdall said from his right, "Though immensely beautiful, it is also one of the most sacred devices you will find in Asgard."

"Asgard? You mean..." Naruto looked around, "That wasn't just some jutsu...it was...twas...my...no, yes...ugh!"

Heimdall chuckled as the two instincts of what one determined home to be duked it out in Naruto's head, knowing what the blonde's conflict was due to the hand on his head and the pained look in his now electric blue eyes. Thor was the same way not so long ago. Wanting forever to be on Earth with the humans he guarded while also wishing to stay on home, to defend it like no one else before had. It was strange to Heimdall that two people could do so, but who was he to question the line of the All-Father? He was a simple guardian, nothing more, nothing less.

Naruto looked at Heimdall when he was lightly nudged in the shoulder. The blonde followed the guardian's gaze and his jaw dropped when three men, one skinny blonde Caucasian and dressed in green, a lightly armored Asian dressed in blue, and the final being a fat red bearded Caucasian man while dressed in a dark red, approached him. They all smiled down at him and placed their clenched right fists over their chests in a salute with a small bow.

"Welcome to Asgard, Prince Naruto," the one in green said with a smile, "Allow me to introduce myself and my friends. We are the Warriors Three, and I am Fandal. To my right is Hogun and my left is Volstagg."

"Uzumaki-erm, I mean, Naruto Thor'sson," the blonde replied, confused as to why he would change his name so suddenly. He copied their salute, instantly making the three smile at his manners, before asking, "So...why am I here? What is here anyway? Is this a dream? And what is this Hammer-?"

"Whoa, whoa, there Naruto," Volstagg said, holding his hands up, "Your father will explain everything once we return to the King's chambers."

"My father?" Naruto replied in confusion, "You mean...this Thor guy?"

"He doesn't know? Strange..." Hogun mused, placing a hand on his chin. Heimdall tightened his grip on his blade.

"He was raised as an orphan of war," the guardian said, snorting in distaste, "Sarutobi believed it'd be the only way to 'protect him from his father's enemies'."

"How absurd!" Fandal scoffed before looking down at the boy, "Naruto, would you not like to meet your parents?"

"Of course I would!" Naruto shouted, excitement shining in his eyes. The Warriors Three laughed aloud and started to lead the energetic boy to the other side of the bridge. Heimdall watched as Naruto left with his soon to be teachers with a smile that was barely noticeable on his face.

Do the Asgardians well, Naruto Thor'sson, he thought as he closed his eyes and went back to guarding the bridge.

Thor sat at his throne with Kushina, his loving wife of twelve Midgardian years, standing at his side. They both waited with anticipation for the Warriors Three to come into the throne room with their son. The former God of Thunder, now All-Father, had felt the very moment that Naruto picked up his hammer. He held onto that feeling and sent some of his own battle instincts to ensure his son would survive whatever battle he was in. His wife, Kushina, gifted with hearing equal to that of Heimdall's, informed him of his small influence on their son's speech, earning laughter from the King and Queen of Asgard.

The doors were thrown open and both rulers looked on as the Warriors Three strolled into the throne room, saluting and bowing before stepping aside. Kushina gasped and held a hand to her mouth as she looked upon her now older son, remembering when she had held him just after his birth. He had his father's looks and would have been a splitting image of the All-Father if it weren't for the fact he had the faint whisker marks, her facial structure and her skin tone that marked him as her son. Tears came to her eyes as he slowly approached.

Thor felt exactly what his wife did as he looked upon his son, noting the similarities between his son and himself when they were that age. Heimdall had told him of his malnourishment at the hands of their former village, but he no longer held any signs of it, lean and large muscles for a child his age now covered his body, easily visible with his new attire. The All-Father gave the boy before him a smile and lifted his staff, dropping it and causing a loud bang before giving a single order.

"Leave us," he said calmly and quietly, no amount of anger or malice in his voice. The many within the throne room, guards and Warriors Three included, left the reunited family to themselves. Thor lifted his staff once again and slid it into a holster built into the throne before standing and extending his arms.

"My son...Welcome to Asgard," Thor said with a smile.

Naruto blinked in confusion as the two approached, the tall intimidating blonde man in golden armor, much more regal than Heimdall's, with long blonde hair similar to his own and a thick blonde beard adorning his face stepping aside to allow a gorgeous redheaded woman to approach him. Tears were in her green eyes as she dropped down to his height and cupped his face, examining him.

"Sochi..." She whispered, a tear falling down her cheek. Something panged in Naruto's heart, something he realized to be the recognizing of his mother from a distant memory that was fresh in his infant mind. Tears soon came to the electric blue eyes of the boy and he dropped Hi-ishi to his side and embraced the woman in a hug, one she fully welcomed and returned.

"Kaasan..." he whimpered out, tears of joy falling from his face at finally being able to use the words freely. The woman cried along with him, hugging him to her body and allowing him to absorb the feeling of a mother's love for the somewhat first time in his life.

Thor watched the exchange with a smile, his own eyes becoming somewhat misty at the beautiful sight before him, but his pride as an Asgardian man fighting the tears down as much as he could. When the two finally broke from their embrace, Kushina cupped the boy's face again and brushed her thumb along the tear-stricken whisker marks on his cheek.

"Naruto-kun," she said softly, "You've grown into such a dashing young man. I'm...I'm just sorry we couldn't be there."

"Why weren't you there?" their son asked them, hurt resonating in his question, the sorrow of loneliness echoing in his question. Kushina nearly broke out in tears again, something she did since she first awoke in Asgard. Not being able to comfort and coddle her child as she heard his cries for help and quiet sobbing in the night very nearly destroyed her. More than once she had fallen into a depressive state that not even her husband's love could cure.

"My son," Thor said softly as he approached them, earning their attention, "I don't know how hard it is to grow up alone, but being forced to feel your pain and your mother having to hear your cries without being able to help you, we can never ask you to forgive us for leaving you. There is a reason we had to leave you, well, a reason I had to leave you."

"It was because of the Kyuubi, right?" Naruto asked with a frown. Kushina could feel her heart break again as she recalled the night that silver haired chunin spread the false truth of Naruto holding a demon within him. Thor had informed her that no human being could contain a construct of Loki's design, so she knew her son did not hold the Kyuubi within him. The pained cries that came from his room upon that discovery didn't help her forgive the silver haired man for his trickery of her son. She wouldn't admit it, but she had contemplated asking Heimdall to bring said chunin to her so she could kill him slowly in the faster time that surrounded Asgard.

"It was," Thor admitted sadly. Upon seeing Naruto's head fall, he quickly added, "But not for the reasons you think. The demon is not within you, my son."

"I-It's not? Wha-what do you mean?" Naruto asked with wide eyes, "Is it still out there?"

"Nay, child," the Asgardian King said with a shake of his head, "The beast was slain as soon as I transported it to Asgard."

Seeing his extremely confused face, Thor explained the whole situation to his son. Kushina stayed by Naruto's side the whole time, her arms still wrapped around him as though she tried to protect him from the loneliness that plagued him for so long. Thor couldn't help but understand his wife, silently happy that she would be able to hold her son a while longer before Thor sent him back.

The blonde teen listened intently as his father explained everything to him, finding the explanation of the science and magics of the 'jutsu' his grandfather Odin had bestowed upon his hidden continent as an experiment to see if the humans were ready for gifts to defend themselves with. The two wars had saddened the original All-Father, making him extremely disappointed that they hadn't taken his lessons as the 'Sage of Six Paths' to heart. After consulting with The Prophetess over his hidden continent, he discovered a third war would plague it, possibly destroying every living being on the continent. That is how Thor was sent there to grow amongst them and use his understanding of their 'jutsu' to save them. The All-Father hadn't expected Loki to send a beast after Thor's village, though, just as Kushina didn't expect Loki to be listening as she cursed her half-brother-in-law's name to no end.

At the end of his explanation, Naruto smiled, proud to be the son of his hero (who was actually a God from another Realm, no less) and said, "I understand and forgive you, Father. But, why didn't you send anyone to look after me like Heimdall suggested?"

Thor sighed, expecting this answer, and placed his hand on his son's shoulder, "I would have, by Odin's Beard did I want to send The Warriors Three to protect and raise you, but Odin had denied my many requests, wishing to defend you from Loki's evil. He, like Hiruzen, unknowingly left you to another evil, the evils within your fellow Man. He had never forgiven himself for leaving you to their glares and silent curses, but like your Mother and I, he loved you very much."

"D-Did he...I mean, is Odin-jiji...?" Naruto failed to ask the words he so desperately wanted an answer for. Thor smiled, knowing what his son was asking him, and nodded sadly.

Naruto bowed his head sadly, only for it to be lifted by his mother's gentle hand and looked into her eyes as she spoke softly to him, "Odin-sama lives on in Valhalla, Sochi, and there is no need for tears. He watches over us still with his All-Seeing eye. He knows of your love and gratefulness and understands your slight anger for him. Even though he is far from our home, I hear him now as he asks forgiveness."

Naruto smiled at his mother and bowed his head, speaking quietly to his 'deceased' grandfather and forgiving him. Another warm feeling came over him as he felt the warmth of his grandfather's love close around him, just as he felt his mother's and father's when he first stepped onto Asgard, only recognizing it when he entered the throne room. The young blonde lifted his head and looked at his parents once again with a smile. In his mind though, questions raced in and out of his consciousness. A very important one dashed the seemingly insignificant ones aside.

"Will I ever go back to Konohagakure no Sato?" he asked.

"No/Yes," his parents replied simultaneously. Kushina glared at her husband as she hugged Naruto closer to him, Thor not even becoming angry at the defiance shown to him. He smiled in fact, knowing it was this defiance that attracted him to her, and also knowing that she had every right as a mother to deny that request. Before she should attempt to explode at him, though, he explained himself.

"Kushina, my love," Thor said, placing his hand on her shoulder, the glare lessoning at his touch as her more understanding side came through, "I do not intent to send him back immediately. I am no fool. To give someone this much power without proper training, it would be the same as to fire all of SHIELD's many weapons on a simple housefly. Yes, he shall return, but only when he is deemed ready by myself and the Warriors Three."

Kushina smiled and nodded her understanding, knowing that would mean she would get even more time to spend with her son, and released some of the tension she held said teen in her arms. Naruto was ecstatic the second his father mentioned training, his denied education thriving to be filled as he resisted the urge to bounce around in joy. Thor removed his hand, happy his wife understood and agreed with him, and redirected his attention to the widely grinning blonde before him, his eyes glistening with excitement at the prospect of becoming stronger.

The poor boy would soon be cursing his father for the sadistic training he would go through.

~~Asgardian Training Grounds~~

The time change compared to that back home for Naruto was strange. Although his body told him six hours had gone by, he also felt the wears of two weeks having passed since his arrival on Asgard. Already he had met many more of his Father's friends and allies, as well as getting to know his mother while he studied his mathematics, magics, sciences and histories of the many realms. Naruto was grateful he learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu, otherwise he would have possibly taken even longer to complete the many studies his mother and his tutors had bestowed upon him, but it also allowed him to leave the clones behind so he could train with his Father and the Warriors Three.

He practiced his Hammer fighting with his father, no sparring really necessary as with a hammer you either missed or hit. And when you did hit, everyone would know it. The time spent in their hammer training mixed with the training of elemental powers, Naruto and Thor being surprised when they discovered Naruto also had a knack for illusions. He also increased his own strength and stamina while with his father, the two sparring in hand-to-hand combat and challenging each other in weightlifting, foot racing, swimming and mountain climbing. They had fun in each event they competed against each other with. He also learned many life lessons from his father when they would exchange some stories, him telling his father of his pranking days, rekindling many happy memories of a young God of Mischief in the All-Father's mind, while his father would tell him many grand tales as his time as the God of Thunder.

When he would train with the Warriors Three, Naruto would hear even grander tales, or more embarrassing ones that he would never hear from his father's mouth. Fandal taught him swordsmanship, should the situation ever arrive that he needed to know it, and also taught him the ways to come up with strategies the Nara Clan would be envious of. When he was with Volstagg, the large man taught him many fighting tactics and to think out multiple plans at once whilst under stress. Unfortunately for Naruto, this was mainly taught through the manner of Volstagg having the Warriors Three attack him while he had to try and find a bell in the forest surrounding the training grounds, and then having to ring it. Hogun taught him how to be absolutely silent whenever he moved, enhancing his shinobi abilities tenfold, as well as teaching him precision with his aim. The Asian warrior also trained him in the art of thieves, giving him ways to steal things, a lesson that aggravated Volstagg to no end as he was used as the practice dummy along with his food being the target.

Now, though, he was practicing his elemental control with his father.

"Concentrate, Naruto," Thor instructed as Naruto gathered the wind nearby into a ball in his hand, the true form of 'Minato's Rasengan. Naruto felt beads of sweat travel down his forehead as he held his left hand over his right as the wind slowly began to swirl around in two directions.

"Good, very good!" Thor praised as Naruto managed to get the first part after two days of training, "Now...add the power to it like I instructed. Don't force the power out, just let it steadily leak into the attack."

Naruto nodded and concentrated on allowing the power to flow into his hand. He had made it to this part before, but lost control over the first part of the attack due to the lack of concentration. Naruto closed his eyes and moved the thought of keeping the spin going into the back of his mind as his mother taught him to do so. His attention now semi-clear of keeping the form of the attack, Naruto focused on the power flow of his attack. Soon enough, the attack resembled the one that rested in his father's hands.

Thor was impressed. When Odin had begun to teach him this, it had taken him an entire week to grasp the full lesson behind the Rasengan. He learned that uncontrolled power would eventually blow back in the face of the wielder, but he never fully understood that until he had faced down one of his foes in the Third Shinobi War. His human form nearly died after a failed attack made by his foe, the man attacking was not as lucky. His arm was blown off of his body, causing him to die slowly from blood loss.

Thor shook the memory from his mind, it being one of the few that he strongly disliked. He looked back at his son who held the Rasengan in front of him in his right hand, a proud smile on the face of the young God of Thunder-to-be. Thor dismissed his own Rasengan and clapped his hands, applauding his son and chuckling.

"Very good, Naruto! Very good!" he praised. He knew it didn't fill Naruto's head, seeing as the boy was hardly praised for anything and knew what he did was no simple task. As Naruto dismissed the Rasengan, a sigh of relief escaping the young blonde's lips, his father continued to speak, "Your time on Asgard is coming to a close, I'm sorry to say."

Naruto's smile faltered a moment. He knew he would be more than welcome to return to Asgard whenever he wished, so long he is not near anything that could threaten his Father's home realm, but the thought of leaving his parents after just getting to know them saddened him.

Seeing his son's disappointment and sorrow fill his eyes, Thor knelt on one knee and placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder, "Do not be sad, my son. Your mother and I shall always be a call away should you ever need us. I shall inform Heimdall to keep an eye on you, which I think he is prepared to do anyway."

Naruto and Thor shared a chuckle. Though the stoic guardian would never admit it, he admired and was proud of his prince for being able to withstand such hatred, such undeserved hatred, from the many ignorant villagers. The rest of Asgard knew, however, they saw it whenever Naruto went to learn about the using of the Rainbow Bridge. Heimdall's eyes would glow with pride whenever the blonde demigod was in his presence.

"This last technique I will teach you shall be the first step you take into the role of the God of Thunder," the Asgardian king said, electing a nod from his son, "To your village, it was known as the Hirashin, or as I jokingly called it, Flying Fist of the Thunder God. Here, it is mainly a power I utilized from Mjolnir. You know how to call Hi-ishi to you, so that you can have your weapon in your hands in a split second. Now you must learn to appear before it just as fast. I will not lie, this technique took me a while to develop, let alone master, but I believe you shall do better with an instructor. Are you ready for this, Naruto Thor'sson?"

"Yes Father," Naruto replied with a nod. Thor smiled, patting the teen on his shoulder.

"Good!" he said, raising his hand and summoning Mjolnir to his hand from where it rested imbedded in stone beside Hi-ishi. Naruto did the same, his own hammer returning to his hand just as fast.

"Now to begin..." Thor started as he began instructing Naruto on how to use this technique.

AN: There we go, all done with the sappy chappy! Next chap will be up soon for this and my Green Lantern fic. I know you're all waiting with anticipation. Thanks for being patient! Excelsior!
