"We must be getting close." Naruto said to Desma, and she looked at him like he was stupid. Of course they were getting close, because on the way here they had defeated at least a dozen of the bone creatures... and they didn't even get the chance to stock up on their victory spoils either.

"Less talk, more run." Desma bit back at him sarcastically as they both jumped out of the way as a giant reptile head crashed right into where they had been standing, before Naruto grabbed Desma and jumped on top of another head and used it to dodge a third head. Used a wind blade he quickly formed in his head to slice off the three heads, before six heads quickly grew back in their places... and now the total head count was twenty three heads on a giant body. Desma smacked him in the back of the head roughly. "Will you forget the head-slicing thing!" Desma yelled, but as Naruto cut all the heads off again.

46 heads...

"I have a plan." Naruto said simply as he looked at the front legs of the creature started to bend, and he tossed Desma safely into the trees before he cut the whole group of heads off again by jumping into the fold and swinging randomly.

92 heads...

The creature's knees were starting to give out under it's own weight, and it no longer had the ability to walk around without falling over. Using the creature's heads as a springboard, Naruto jumped up high into the air and created a few dozen shadow clones, before every clone formed a Rasengan in their hands and started falling from the sky. They shoved each one into the main body of the Hydra and ground most of it's body to golden dust. Naruto jumped away from the destruction just as the Rasengans all blew up in a gold explosion of chakra and dust.

When Desma came out of the trees, she was happy to see the Hydra killed, and Naruto bolding a necklace made of linked together, smaller versions of the hydra's fangs. Naruto placed it around his neck, and they ended up giving him a more fierce look.

'Every fight, I get a little stronger.' Naruto thought with a light grin and he gripped his fist tightly, before he was hit in the back of the head by Desma. Naruto blinked and looked at her to see her covered in sticks and leaves, before he grinned at how she apparently landed when he threw her. She really was not happy with him for doing that.

"Okay, you have to be a complete idiot or a genius to use the weight of that monsters heads against it." Desma stated with a flat tone, and Naruto couldn't help but laugh at how she said that. Normally people would stop cutting off the heads, but Naruto just kept cutting them off until the front of it's body weighed too much to hold up. Then there was the chance the heads would fight each other when they got to cramped. In the end, his true secret to defeating the Hydra was cutting it's heads off and using it's ability to grow heads against it. Naruto was a master of making more of himself, so he knew more than anyone that sometimes two heads were NOT better than one.

"Hey, an idiot is only an idiot until their ideas work. Then they are called geniuses." Naruto corrected her in a way that he called himself a genius. He liked to brag every once and awhile, and he was pretty sure that he had earned it. They had been fighting non-stop, with him doing much more work than her. Desma looked at him plainly, before she coughed into her hand.

"You are arrogant, but it is in your charm, it will bite your ass." Desma said with a flat tone to her voice as she showed one of her traits as Apollo's children. She blinked when a stray though came to her mind. If Naruto was the child of Hestia, and she was the daughter of Apollo wouldn't that make Naruto her uncle in a way? She shivered in horror at the thought that she was related to this insane guy. She and Naruto both looked on in annoyance when even more monsters started to pop out of nowhere, some of which they had already defeated...TODAY!

"I can't be the only one pissed about this..." Naruto muttered with an annoyed glare at the twenty-or-so monsters standing in front of them. The fucking Nemean Lion was once more glaring at him as he was forcefully brought back by the person that was controlling the city. Naruto glared right back at the lion, before Desma pulled on his shirt and pointed behind them. Naruto paled when he saw thirty hellhounds behind them, and on either side of them were ten skeletal soldiers.

"I think we have a problem." Desma said meekly, and for once Naruto fully agreed with her when it came to this situation. Fighting 80 or more of these types of enemies was NOT what he considered to be fun, but the more monsters they fought the less energy the enemy would have when they eventually came face to face with them. Naruto forced himself to calm down, before he hooked his arm around the younger girl's waist and jumped up just in time as two hellhounds came crashing down at the location he had been standing at.

"Good news, the guy must be close." Naruto stated as he raised his hand into the air and formed a golden rasengan with fire filling it to the brim. Naruto added more and more power to the attack, before he threw it towards the ground right where the monsters were. In a inferno of blazing flames the monsters were completely burnt to a crisp, with only the Nemean Lion remaining slightly burnt. The lion roared at him, before the revived creature turned away and started to run away to fight another day against the blond that had defeated him multiple times.

"That was HOT!" Desma said with a grin on her face, before she was smacked in the back of the head by Naruto. He was not about to have lame puns being delivered by anyone but him, it was his job to make lame jokes at bad times. She glared at him while holding the back of her head with small tears in her eyes, it may have been a playful smack but it stung like crazy. She was sure that this guy had some form of freaking super strength to be able to do something like this. He jumped like fifty feet in the air like it was no trouble after all, and she was about to lecture him before the ground opened up to reveal a hidden door.

Enter...

"... Did you hear that?" Naruto asked curiously, not wanting to admit that the voice was creeping him out somewhat. The door itself looked like it was something you would see when you were about to go to the underworld, or die in some hellish way. The gate was covered in bones, and the door itself looked like it was made from heavily burned up wood. Blackened by the flames of the worst hell imaginable, and the two of them looked at each other for moment before Desma had enough.

"Okay, are we really dumb enough to listen to a demonic voice telling us to enter an obviously evil room?" Desma asked blandly, and Naruto had to think about it for a second and the two of them shared another look in the others direction. They both started to pale when they realized they were idiots big enough to do what they were about to do. The second thery made up their minds, the door started to open all on it's own and white mist started to pour out of the room.

"Yes, we are dumb enough." Naruto said as the two of them started to run towards the door without even thinking of the downsides of running towards something with as much power as Naruto himself.

The Child of Apollo and the Male Goddess passed through the door without a care in the world, only one word came to Naruto's mind as he passed into the gate.

Victory.
