It was a beautiful night the stars were shining and the moon was full. Couples were enjoying there evening, families eating together, everything seemed quite and peaceful, but that was not the case for him. Everyone can enjoy tonight, everyone but him, he was staring at a camp full of young girls wearing camopants and silver ski parkas. They were sitting together at the fire and chatting idly never noticing the eyes that were watching them from the distance and why should they it wasn't like they had to worry about anyone attacking them. Their Guardian would take care of it like always, protecting them from threats they could not handle on their own without their lady's help. No one but their lady Artemis or Zoe Nightshade her lieutenant have seen or interacted with the Guardian. And when asked about this person, who all of them hoped is a woman, they stay silent and change the conversation. None of the huntresses have seen their Guardian but they knew he/she was there.
When Naruto Uzumaki, second Juubi, Seventh Hogake and last Shinobi, took this role as a Guardian he didn't think he would grow attached to them, but now he wouldn't even dream of changing it. After he burned his world and absorbed all Chakra he left it for a new world. Now that he thought about it it was ironic, he fought so hard for it against Obito Uchiha, Madara Uchiha, Kaguya Otsutsuki and the rest of her clan. Only to burn it down to ashes himself and who can blame him, 2 centuries after the 4th Great Shinobi War they returned to the old way but with more destructive weapons, hmm... who would've thought that you can replicate a Bijuudama with technology. Well enough of that he did it, he dealt with it and moved on.
Now he had a bunch of young maiden and their patron goddess to take care of. Hehehe if Ero-Senin was here he'd laugh his ass off, sigh... he missed his friends and family. So far in his remenising he didn't feel the person step behind him until she spoke up "You know you could join them if you want" it was more of a statemant than a question "Yeah... I'll pass, don't wanna ruin their picture of you and i don't want to pull arrows out off my ass like my first meeting with a certain someone" he deadpend at her and she had at least the decency to blush "I already said I'm sorry and that was a long time ago, plus it was justified on my part" "Sure walking in on me bathing, calling me a pervert and shooting me full with arrows is totally justifiable on your part, ya'know" he sweatdropped at her her pose, chin up and arms crossed, which quickly turned into her head dropping and her arms falling to her sides in defeat "Come on can't you for once let it go" "Nope, never" he answered cheerfully which caused her to sweatdrop at his change in demanor . She wondered sometimes if he was bipolar or just touched in the head, but knew that she could count on him if shove came to push, i mean come on who in their right mind is going to mess with a man who can make Kronos, Typhoon and Ouranus look like babies throwing a fit. And that's not even him fighting seriously, now that she thought about it she's never seen him fight seriously before.
She was lost in thought that she didn't notice that he moved untill it was to late and she was sitting in his lap. "So Moony what brought you here, i don't think it is to simply chat, not that i mind the company" he leaned back against a tree wrapped his arms around her waist. Artemis sighed and leaned back in his embrace, would've it been any other man she would've castrated him and killed him slowly for touching her, but Naruto was the exception in this andany things concerning her. I mean come on Artemis the famous manhater chatting with a man propostrus, cuddling with one even worse, but here she was in his arms looking up at the night sky. "Sigh...You're right i have felt a few demigods not far from here, and they are being followed by a Manticore" "I sense something coming Arty, something big and i think i have to step in to the spotlight even if don't want to, and i have a feeling these demigods are somehow connected to it, so let's help'em out wadda ya say" he smiled at her with that oh so infuriatingly beautiful smile of his "Well you'd have to reveal yourself to the girls if we do this, are you sure your ready for it?" she looked at him as he thought it over and smiled at his next words "I'm ready to show myself but are they ready to see me, im gonna hide behind you and Zoe-chan so i can avoid the arrows". Naruto jumped suddenly up with Artemis in his arms, who let out a squeal at the sudden motion, she hit him on the head with a glare, which would've worked if it wasn't for the blush on her face "I told you not to do that ever again" "And yet i do" he put a hand on top of her head and ruffeld her hair "Well then little moon let's go save some halfbloods" Artemis tried to swipe his hand away, but he was long gone, without her noticing "STOP TRYING TO PULL OFF A BATMAN YOU IDIOT." she screamed and was sure he heard her, which he always does, something that amazed her and when asked about it he would wink and say "Trade secret".
She looked to the direction of their target for a few seconds and then sighed and headed back to camp "Things are going to be hectic in next few days"
