"Demon / Monsters/Summon/ Angry God"
In the middle of the night, in Poseidon Cabin, both Percy and his half-brother, Tyson, were sleeping peacefully, when a sudden bang on the door woke Percy from his sleep.
"W-hat?" he said, half waking up from his sleep.
'Bang' "Percy! Wake up, Percy!" It was Annabeth, her voice sounding horrified.
Percy stood up from his bed and went towards the cabin door. He opened the door to see Annabeth was standing in a ripped and dirty dress. She had bruises and scratches on her arms and face. "What happened?" he asked warily.
"The camp is in under attack, Percy," she said. Her voice was trembling and she looked horrified.
"What?"

When Percy and Annabeth reached at the entrance of the camp, they saw many campers lying on the ground. They were bleeding and some of them were unconscious.
Percy quickly pulled out a golden pen and clicked it. It changed into a golden sword. He looked at Annabeth and asked, "Where is it? Annabeth, where is the monster?"
"Stand ready! My bow!" It was Clarisse's voice, coming from their right side.
While Annabeth took the healing crystal to help wounded campers, Percy ran towards in the direction of Clarisse's voice to see her ordering her cabin mates to shoot arrows at the cloaked person.
"Fire!" Clarisse ordered as her half-brothers and half-sisters shot arrows at the cloaked person.
The cloaked person just pointed his left hand at incoming arrows as a large stone wall rose from the ground in order to block the incoming attack.
'What the hell!' Percy thought as he saw the arrows hadn't made even a single scratch on the earth wall.
"You all are good," the cloaked person said, "but, this is not enough to stop me." He waved his hand as the earth wall crumbled. It formed into a large earth sphere with numerous spikes and rolled toward Ares' children.
"SCATTER!" Clarisse shouted, watching the earth sphere coming towards them.
Most of the heroes had avoided the rolling sphere by leaping out its way while some of them jumped out of its way, however, they weren't able to save cabins that were in its path. Thankfully, most of them were empty.
"You'll pay for this," one hero shouted angrily, when he saw one of the cabin was Ares' cabin. He lifted his sword to attack on the cloaked person.
"Don't be reckless!" Clarisse shouted at her cabin mate to stop him doing something stupid. "You can't face him alone. He is stronger than any of us. We've to stick together to stop him."
"What the hell!" one of the Ares' child shouted.
They turned around to see Percy was running towards the cloaked person with his golden sword in hand.
"Idiot!" Clarisse shouted. She took her spear and turned to her cabin mates. "Let's go!"
They took their respective weapons and followed her lead. They ran towards the cloaked person.
The cloaked person easily avoided Percy's swing with a small back step. He waved his hand in the direction of Ares' children as several spikes appeared in their path that stopped them from attacking him and helping Percy. "Son of Poseidon, you've interesting weapon," he said, looking carefully at the golden sword in Percy's hand. He jumped up and avoided another swing from Percy.
Again and again, Percy swung the riptide, but no matter how fast he was, his opponent had been just slightly faster. It was only his ADHD, his battlefield reflexes, which were keeping him alive or otherwise, the cloaked person would have killed him in the very first blow.
"You need more practice," the cloaked person said. He avoided another swing of Percy's sword before kicking the son of Poseidon in the stomach.
The kick was strong enough to send Percy flying back before he rolled across the ground and stood up on his feet. He spat out some blood from his mouth.
"Not bad, son of Poseidon!" the cloaked person said before he pointed his hand at him.
Suddenly, Clarisse heard a strange noise, like something rolling towards them. It kept increasing with every second. Her eyes winded. "MOVE!" she shouted. She and her cabin mates moved in time to avoid the earth sphere. It was going straight towards Percy. "Percy, watch out!"
Percy turned around and saw earth sphere coming towards his direction. "Shit!" he said.
When the earth sphere was a few meters away from him, it was cut perfectly in half by a crescent-shaped blade of blue electricity.
"Need some help?" Thalia said. She was holding a strange sword that made from electricity.
At the same time, Annabeth came there with some other campers to protect the half-blood the camp. They all were wearing golden armour, and had multiple weapons like swords, bows, spears and many others in their hand.
"Whoa! It's beautiful," Beckendorf said when he saw the weapon in Thalia's hand. "Where did she get that kind of weapon?"
Annabeth answered his question, "Naruto give it her."
"Raijin no Ken, Sword of the Thunder God," the cloaked person said, looking at Thalia's sword while he avoided another electric blast, "right weapon for the daughter of Zeus."
"How did—," Thaila's eyes winded when she saw him doing hand seals. "You're from the Element Nation."
"Yes."
"Shit, he is from the Element Nation," Annabeth said, watching the cloaked person doing hand seals. She turned towards campers. "Don't just stand up here. Let's go help them."
But, she was too late. The cloaked person had already done his last hand seal. "Earth Style: Golden Prison!" Four long earth pillars came out from the ground. They produced a square-shaped golden barrier around them to prevent anyone from entering inside or going outside.
"This will keep unwanted guests outside," the cloaked person told both Thalia and Percy.
Outside of the barrier, all campers tried their all weapons on the barrier to break it.
"There is no use," Clarisse said, throwing a sword away. She had tried everything to go through the barrier.
"We can't go inside. Now, it's all up to them," Annabeth said as she looked at the golden barrier.
"What do you want?" Percy asked, clenching his sword tightly in his hand.
"I want many things," the cloaked person said. "But, now, I want to fight with both of you."
He pulled out a small black metallic handle from nowhere. It changed into a black coloured mace. It was two feet long, and had small spikes and various purple coloured marking. He lifted it and slammed onto the ground as he sent a large chunk of earth hurtling towards them
"Get behind me, Percy" Thalia shouted.
Percy asked, "What?"
"Just do as I say." As soon as he got behind her, she lifted her sword and swung at attack, splitting it in half.
They ran toward the cloaked person and started to attack from different sides. Thalia swung her sword at his right side, and he went to deflect it with his mace. Both weapons clashed in a shower of sparks. Taking advantage of this situation, Percy slashed at his left side, but bracelet on his left wrist changed into a circular shield that blocked his attack.
"Good strategy," he commented as he pushed both weapons away from him.
Thalia swung again, but he blocked it and kicked her legs out from under her throwing her off-balance. He swung his mace behind him to block Percy's sword. Then he slammed his shield into his body and sent him flying backwards. He was dodging or deflecting all their attacks like they were nothing. They were getting tired. Suddenly, he sent small earth spikes towards them. Both Thalia and Percy avoided most of them, except one that pierced Thalia's left leg. She cried in pain.
"Distract him, Percy," Thalia said, holding her bleeding leg. Percy nodded and went to distract their opponent. As soon as she removed the earth spike from her leg, the wound in her leg started to heal itself.
'What the hell!' she thought as she cleaned some blood and found there was no wound in her leg. 'I'll have to talk with Naruto.'
She took her sword and ran toward the cloak person to see Percy was holding him back barley.
The person jumped away from Percy. He made some hand seals and slammed both his hand on the ground. "Earth Style: Earth Golem Jutsu!" He created a large, humanoid creature made of rock. It was at least five foot taller than him.
'Shit,' Both Thalia and Percy thought.
The golem lifted its hand and punched to the ground, sending shockwaves to everywhere.
Percy gulped when he saw a large crater on the ground where the golem had punched.
"Distract them again, Percy," Thalia said.
"Are you kidding me?" Percy shouted, he pointed at the golem. "Look at its size."
"Cyclopes are bigger than it," she countered. "Trust me. I've a plan."
"Ok," he sighed. He turned towards the golem. He picked up a rock and threw it towards the golem to distract it.
While Percy was doing his job, Thalia moved away from them. She pointed Raijin no Ken at the sky, and began to pray for her father for help.
'Father, help me...'
Outside of the barrier, everyone noticed Lighting and thunder began rumbling in the sky.
"What's going on?" one camper shouted.
"It's Lord Zeus," Annabeth said, looking at the sky.
The skies darkened, thunder shook The camp as a strong lightning bolt stuck in the golden barrier and went straight through it.
Inside of the golden barrier, the lightning bolt stuck on Raijin no Ken and began supercharge it. Cracks started to appear on earth pillars. The barrier had become weak enough to see what was happening inside.
"Now, you!" Thalia shouted, looking at both the golem and cloaked person. The lightning was swirling around her. "Begone!" She swung supercharged Raijin no Ken at them and blasted away both of them away with the golden barrier.
A bright flash of blue light erupted from the blast, forcing everyone to shut their eyes. When the light died down, they opened their eyes and gasped at what they saw. There was a large crater in the ground where lightning had struck a few minutes ago and there were no sign of the cloaked person and his golem. All The camper burst into cheer and shouts of triumph.
Thalia slumped back down to the ground panting. "Finally, it's over."
"Are you all right?" Percy asked, panting heavily as he walked towards her.
"Yeah."
Annabeth ran to Thalia and hugged her. "That was just...wow!"
Thalia smiled and said, "Thanks Anna."
"You showed him the girls' power," Clarisse said, smiling.

"It's not over yet," a voice said.
They turned towards the crater to see the cloaked person was still alive. He raised his head and the only thing that was seen was his pair of glowing golden-yellow eyes. He removed his tattered cloak to reveal his face first time. He was around fifteen or fourteen years old, dark brown hair and dark-skinned boy with an athletic built body. He wore a sleeveless light-red shirt and black pants, with brown armour, along with long brown-black cuff bracelets and steel toed black boots. He had two ninja pouches strapped to each of his hips. He hadn't come back unscratched from the last attack. Blood was staining his armor; his face cut up and bruised. There was a gash running down his cheek.
"I guess that was a pretty good warm-up. Now the real fight begins," he said. He placed his right hand on the ground as wounds on his body started to fade away like they had never been there in first place. He stood up on his feet, looked perfectly healthy.
"I'm Daichi, the son of Gaia," he said, smirking, as the earth around him started to break up from the ground and float around him. His body started to glow. Soon, he grew taller and his muscles began to grow. Moments later, his transformation was complete as he became ten feet tall, rock version of himself. He stamped his feet on the ground and sent a shockwave across the ground, sending most of campers flying.
"Shit! He is a Titan!" Clarisse shouted while she was barely holding up. Her most of half-brothers and half-sister had been blown away by the shockwave.
"I'm not a Titan," Daichi said. "I'm a half-titan." He waved his hand up, lifting several boulders up from the ground. Then he pushed his hand forward and sent them towards campers. But before they could reach their targets; a large wall of black flames blocked their path, destroying all of them completely.
"So, you are alive, Daichi?" came a voice of a Naruto as he materialized from the flames with several crows flying around him.
Daichi didn't say anything to him. He ran towards Naruto and lifted his right hand to punch him as Naruto did the same. Their collision sent shockwaves through the whole camp.
"Impressive, you've some strength in this form, but," Naruto said before he disappeared. There was loud smack sound and Daichi was skidding across the ground. "You don't have much speed." He was standing a few meters away from fallen Daichi.
Daichi stood up on his feet as they began clashing. They exchanged blows between each other. The waves crashed on the land, the whole the camp rumbled like an earthquake. Naruto saw three swords lying on the ground. Picking them up, he threw them upward. Then, using superior speed and agility, he jumped over Daichi and thrusted all three swords in his back as Daichi roared in pain. As soon as he landed on the ground his whole body and limbs surrounded by black-electricity.
"There is one good thing about metals, they can conduct electricity," he said as he swung his hand at Daichi and sent high voltage black electricity in his body using all three swords like lightning rods.
Daichi cried during the intense pain of high voltage coursing through him. He fell on the ground when Naruto stopped his attack.
Naruto looked at him Daichi and noticed his wounds were healing rapidly. He narrowed his eye and he activated his sharingan. He saw yellow coloured energy coming from the ground and going inside his. The same energy was also healing his body. 'He is subconsciously taking his mother power to heal his wound and restore his energy.' He quickly jumped away from him and quickly started to make some hand seals. 'There is only one way to stop him.'

"Is it over?" one hero said as he saw Daichi laying on the ground, motionless.
"I doubt it," another one replied.
Daichi suddenly stood on his leg and roared at Naruto.
"What the hell, he is still alive?" Percy shouted.
"Look Naruto is doing something," Annabeth said as she pointed at Naruto.
Percy turned towards Naruto to see his slamming his hand on the ground.
"Wood Style: Wood Golem Jutsu!"
An enormous statue—like creature out of wood with a full body and an oni-like face—erupted from the ground and caught Daichi before he could do anything. It lifted him off the ground into the air.
"Wow! That's amazing!" Thalia said as she saw Naruto standing on twenty feet tall wooden gigantic statue's head.
Naruto made another hand seals as the golem crushed Daichi with its hand, weakening him more, and threw it towards the ground. Before he could land on the ground, a giant tree shoots out of the ground, and wrapped its roots themselves around him to stop him reaching to the ground. Without contact with the ground, he was weak. He returned back to his original form.
XXX
Naruto jumped from the wood-golem and safely landed on the ground. His golem disappeared into light particles. He slowly walked towards Daichi to see him unconscious, hanging upside down on a tree. He raised his right hand to punch him, but stopped just a few inches from his face. He flicked his forehead with no emotion on his face. Daichi's eyes flashed open.
"It's good to see you alive, Daichi." He waved his hand to set Daichi free from tree roots as he fell to the ground.
Daichi rubbed his head before he looked at Naruto. He knelt and bowed down in front of him. "Master," he said.
"How are you still alive after receiving Jubi's tailed beast ball at point-blank range?"
"My mother saved me."
"I see," Naruto nodded. "Anyway, stand up. All The campers are staring at us." He turned around and saw all campers standing behind him. Most of them looked confused while other didn't know what was happening.
"What's going on?" Thalia shouted before she pointed at Daichi. "And, why is he kneeling down front of you?"
"Well, he is my old companion."
"I'm his bodyguard," Daichi interrupted, standing on his feet.
"Yes, bodyguard."
"But, why did he attack on the camp?" Percy asked.
"To test your strength and the camp defense," Daichi answered. "Son of Poseidon, You need to sharpen your sword skills. As for you, Daughter of Zeus, your fighting style and swordsmanship was good, but you'll have to work on your stamina."
"You did all this to test our strength!" Clarisse shouted angrily, pointing a finger at all destroy cabins and especially her cabin. Her face was red.
"Well, yes."
"Are you crazy?"
"Calm down, Clarisse," Naruto said. "Mr. D can handle it." He turned to look at a particular spot. "Am I right, Mr. D?"
With a flash of light, Dionysus materialized there.
"You were watching all of this?" Thalia asked as she gritted her teeth. But before she could say anything to him, Annabeth placed her hand on her shoulder to calm her down.
"Yeah," Dionysus said he said like he didn't care about it. "It was entertaining." He snapped his fingers as all damage that Daichi had done to the camp, started to repair. He turned towards Naruto and pointed his thumb at Daichi. "How are you going to explain about him to Tantalus?"
Naruto thought something for a few seconds and said, "Well..."
XXX
"Absolutely not!" Tantalus' angry voice rang through the Big House. He pointed at Daichi. "He can't live here."
"And, why not?" Naruto asked as he narrowed his eyes at him.
"He is a half-Titan!" Tantalus yelled again, but he suddenly found himself in front of a tip of sharp blades.
"Do not yell at Master," Daichi said in a cold voice. He was holding a long sword that looked like a sword made from the earth.
Tantalus gulped and nodded.
Naruto smirked. "Besides, I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. My father has already given his approval." He pointed at the two symbols over Daichi's head—one was bigger than the other. The bigger symbol was Earth, symbol of his mother Gaia while the smaller one was Helm of Darkness, the symbol of Hades. "Let's go, Daichi."
They left the Big House, leaving fuming Tantalus behind.
XXX
Annabeth, Percy, Thalia and Clarisse were waiting both Naruto and Daichi outside of the Big House. When they saw both Naruto and Daichi leaving the Big House, they went towards them.
"What happened inside?" Annabeth asked.
"Everything has gone smoothly," Naruto said, smirking.
"Good," Thalia said as she stepped forward and grabbed his hand. "I want to talk with you, alone."
Naruto nodded. "Could you do me one favor, Annabeth?" he asked.
Annabeth said, "Yes."
"Could you show my cabin to Daichi?"
"Hmm, sure, why not?"
"Thanks," he said. He grabbed Thalia and disappeared into a swirling vortex as they entered his Kamui realm.
"Well," Annabeth said as she turned towards Daichi. "Let me show you the Hades' cabin, the cabin number thirteen."
Daichi nodded as he followed after her. Percy and Clarisse were also behind them.
"Why did you call Naruto master?" Clarisse asked, curiously.
"Clarisse, right?" He received a nod from her. "Well Clarisse, Master Naruto saved me from my loneliness. He gave me purpose."
"Huh?"
He stopped walking and looked up to the sky. "When I was a kid, I didn't have much control over my powers...My powers—they were always responded to my strong emotions. When I turned eight, my father was killed by rogue ninja." He turned to see they all were hearing his story carefully. "In grief, I destroyed everything around me...my whole village." He looked down at his feet. "Then I went to find my father's killer. I found him when I turned ten. We fought and I killed him, but I lost my right arm and most of my right side. I was in front of death's door when he found me."
"Who?" Percy asked.
"Master Naruto. I owe him my life," Daichi said. "He reconstructed half of my body." He opened his armour and shirt to show his right side of his skin was paler than his original skin. "From that day I'd decided that I will serve him my whole life."

(Place: Kamui Realm)
"Where the hell are we?" Thalia said, looking space that was filled with broken fragments of mirrors and several circular platforms.
"We are in Kamui realm. The dimension that I can control. Without me, no one can enter or exit from it," Naruto said, proudly.
"It's your dimension."
"Well, sort of."
"You've your own personal dimension. Wow!" She twirled around to look at whole place.
"Well, thanks," he said, looking at her happy face. "So, what do you want to talk about?"
She turned to look at him. "See this," she said as she took a kunai which Naruto had given to her and made a small cut on her hand. She showed it to him. The cut was started to heal rapidly before it closed completely. "Well..."
"Hmm," he said, looking closely at her hand. "I didn't expect that."
"So, what is it?" She was eagerly awaiting his answer.
"Well...I don't know," he said. Her face faulted. "But I've a theory."
Naruto looked at Thalia and began explaining to her about it. "There are two justu that can bring anyone back to life. First is Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei and second is Gedō: Rinne Tensei no Jutsu. Both are forbidden techniques. First one needs a living person sacrifice while second one need user's sacrifice. Both techniques have some limitations." He took a breath. "So, I merged both techniques, and created a completely new technique to break those limitations. Edo Rinne Tensei. With this technique, I made your whole body."
Thalia looked at him with wide eyes. "You mean..."
"It's your new body and even I don't know its limitation," he said "As for your new healing power, the body created by Edo Tense is very hard to destroy. Maybe, your new power is because of it."
"Then, why didn't it cure the poison which is still inside my body?"
"Because that poison is old and very strong. It's made for weakening the god's body."
"Ok, so, what now?"
"Are you ready?" he said, holding his hand towards her.
She took his hand in her hand. "Ready for what?"
"For some fun," he said, smiling, as a dimension gate opened up under their feet and they disappeared.
XXX
"Naruto!" Thalia shouted. Her eyes were closed and she was holding Naruto tightly.
They were hovering above the cloud.
"What?" Naruto said as he looked at her face which was pale white. "Don't tell me you're afraid of heights!" She didn't say anything, only held him more tightly. "But you are the daughter of Zeus."
"Sh-ut up!"
Naruto smiled. He slipped his arms around her waist and pulled her even closer to him. "Ok," he said as a platform of solidified shadow materialized under their feet. "You can open your eyes."
She opened her eyes when she felt the floor under her feet. "What are we doing here?" she asked shakily. She was still holding his hand tightly.
"To show you this," he said. He waved his hand as the clouds parted away, showing nature's beauty beneath them.
Thalia gasped and her grip on his hand tightened as she looked around. Far below them the blue water rushed by, while green forest lined the earth on the other side. The colors seemed richer here than in other places, with the sun reflecting off of the water below them.
"It's so beautiful," she murmured, forgetting all fear about height.
Naruto arms went around her, hugging her tight, his head dropped to her shoulder and his mouth pressed into her hair as he whispered, "I know."
Thalia blushed from his closeness. He held her for some time before letting her go. She quickly turned around and placed her lips on his. She went in for a very deep, passionate kiss. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and pulled her even closer against him. The shadow platform under their feet had disappeared and they were hovering in the sky again.
He broke the kiss and asked, "So, are you ready for our first date?" Thalia nodded. "Hold me tight."
"What?"
They started to fall from the sky towards the ground rapidly. Thalia was holding Naruto for dear life. A dimension gate opened front of them when they were just a few meters away from the ground. They went inside and disappeared.
