~Chapter 4: Meet Luke!
Although Luke resolved that he would survive and find the place where he will fit in… he may die before that even happens. Maybe he had been a bit hasty when he decided to leave, maybe even a bit stupid, because-
Right now, he is being chased by a Cyclops. He cursed, calling himself stupid for not asking for a weapon from his father before he left. If he had, then maybe he would have stood a fighting chance and not get eaten by the stupid monster.
Why, oh why?! Was he born a demigod?! It would have been so much easier if he had been normal but, fate has a fickly way of doing things.
Ack! He quickly dodged to the right and rolled forward a bit before running into a side path. He kept running till the Cyclops finally caught him on his leg and tripped him forward, his face planting into the ground. Yuck. Dirt. Now he has no choice but to at least try to fight. There is no way he is going down without a fight!
And so, he found the nearest thing that could serve as a weapon and prepared himself.
What he didn't notice was the pair of eyes watching from within the shadows above. Watching and gauging his worthiness. As well as analyzing everything about him.
"Hehehe, little demigod. Be a good boy AND BE EATEN FOR LUNCH!" and the Cyclops lunged at Luke as he dodge. He kept dodging and dodging until he got tired, which resulted him slowing down and getting slam back into a wall.
Luke struggled to his feet as the Cyclops looked at him amusedly before lunging again, this time, truly intending on finishing him off. Luke closed his eyes, waiting for the unavertable death and pain. When nothing happened, he opened his eyes to witness a shocking scene.
The Cyclops was restrained by several… tails? At least he thinks they are. One of the tails speared through the monster as well so it was disintegrating into sand right now. After that, the particles were scattered to make it harder for him to reform.
When Luke found out just what have saved him, he narrowed his eyes. It was a fox. A multi-tailed one that his father warned him to be careful of. He stiffen when it used one of its tails to grab him off the ground and go to who knows where.

This kit is stubborn. And paranoid, but for a good reason. If he had monsters chasing him left and right he would be like this too, except he already went through that, but instead of monsters, it was S-class missing-nins who were 1000 more times scarier and stronger than those little monsters. Honestly, what do these gods teach their children these days? Even Academy students can probably beat them, those who are serious ninjas, and these are children of gods! G-o-d-s!
But seriously, how long is this kid going to stare at me? Can't he even give me a thanks for saving him? And he also made my schedule take a serious leap. He was supposed to prank Hermes today! And based on this kid's energy feel, he's his kid too. Sigh, how long is this going to continue?
Groooowlll~
Luke blushed. His blasted stomach.
Oh, seems like this kids hungry! Food time! Naruto took out his special food scroll and began looking for ramen. It is special because he can seal just one of each type of food in there, and it makes them limitless! Now he has limitless ramen and countless of other foods on his person.
Ah! Found it. He unsealed two bowls of ramen along with chopsticks which was a huge shock to Luke.
A fox. A fox. That actually summons food from nowhere?! Where in the heck did he get that from?!
Naruto extended one tail with one of the ramen bowls on it along with chopsticks to the demigod. Luke looked at him suspiciously before taking the bowl and not eating before Naruto himself taken a bite.
He was having trouble holding the chopsticks since he never used them before which was earning him amused looks and laughter from the weird fox. He gritted his teeth together and glared at the fox, daring him to continue laughing. But to his dismays, it only made the laughing fox laugh even harder than before and was rolling on the ground.
Damn the fox to Tartarus! He tried even harder to use the chopsticks but was clearly unsuccessful since he has never used them before.
Eventually Naruto stopped laughing and taught him how to use it… with his tails as 'pretend' fingers.

After eating several bowls of different flavors, Luke was fully content with his belly and knows that the fox has no intention of killing him. He means, why would the fox save him in the first place? Not so he can eat him like many other monsters since it seems like the fox has an unlimited food supply. He is really jealous of that.
Ah, the fox got up and started moving! He is going to decide. Is he going to follow the fox, which equals food and maybe protection, or is he going on the move alone again and risks getting eaten and killed? The first one definitely sounds more appealing so he strived to follow the fox to where ever he is going.
As Luke followed, Naruto looked back and sighed, giving the demigod the 'Why are you following me' look.
"Because it's better off with me going with you then myself." He huffed.
Naruto rolled his eyes and sighed. Since this kid's Hermes, why not show him a bit of his plan? So he summoned his scroll and handed it over to Luke.
Luke looked at him curiously before opening it up. The more he read, the bigger his eyes became, and the lower his jaws dropped. After he finished, he felt a bit faint, but also very devious. He wondered if he could join too, since he wanted revenge on his father and this was perfect!
With gleaming eyes, he tore his eyes from the scroll and grinned widely at the fox and ask, "Can I join? I want in on this for revenge against my dad."
Naruto's eyes widened a tiny bit, small enough to be unnoticed, before going into a full out shit eating grin. He roped in the son of the god he was going to prank! How lucky! Deciding to brighten the boy's mind, he unsealed his god pranks collection photos and showed it to the boy.
Luke looked at the fox questionably again before taking the stacks of photos and looking at them.
OH. MY. GOD. Was the only thing that the Luke's over fried and dumbfounded brain could process. His hands started shaking. He had the proof of the god's humiliation right in his hands! And he excitedly looked through each one, his face becoming redder and redder until he burst out laughing. He laughed so hard and so long that he felt like he was laughing up a gut. When he finally calmed down enough, he asked the fox, "Can I keep the photos?" he ask with a look of hope on his face which was destroyed instantly when the fox shock his head 'no'.
Luke pouted. "Meanie!" but handed back the photos to him either way.
Naruto decided to write a little message in the air. 'When we prank your father then you can take a few photos.'
Luke blurted out the first question that flew into his mind at the announcement. "How did you do that?"
Naruto merely whistled innocently before walking away, Luke following him on his heels, whining to him over and over again saying 'Tell me!'.
xxxxx
A house in the air. Fitting for a god like him the two guess.
Luke was amazed. How did the fox find this place? At least he knew why the gods were scared of him now… Just thinking about it is making him laugh, but he held it in. After all, they are trying to prank a god; his father no less, and he doesn't want to be found out before they even did anything!
And with that, Naruto grabbed him and Shunshin themselves into the gods' manor to begin Hermes destruction.
~In the Mansion~
It was big like they thought, with things here and there in a very disorganized fashion. There were all sort of random stuff pile together and they both nodded. That is probably the 'stolen goods' pile of junks. As fellow thieves, well more like a thief and ninja, they understand the need to steal. Some look like mechanics that someone like Hephaestus would have so it was probably stolen from him and many other things. After scanning their surroundings a bit more, they decided to get to work! Naruto decided that he would pull the medium guns out!
Some may ask, why not pull the big guns out instead of the medium guns?
Well, the answer to that, is because… he should reserve the big guns for the biggest one right? After all, they, as the boss, should get a special present for being the boss right?
And so, with a bit of evil laughing that was being mirrored by Luke, Naruto took out a special pink box and another special box filled with seals and gave it to Luke, telling him what to do with the stuff inside.
And so, with light flying hearts, the two began… the end of Hermes pride… as a member of the male gender… and as a member of the godly beings… Kukukuku…
