Chapter 5

Run to the Hills

April

Three months had pass since the Winter Solstice. Since then, Naruto during those three months had moved out of Cabin Eleven and into Cabin Ten. When first saw the cabin during his tour he didn't think much of it, but now. The pink! The pink hurt his eyes sometimes, then there is the perfume smell. Naruto's nose sometimes can't handle it. He wonders if Kiba came to Cabin Ten would he pass out from the smell?

Every since Naruto was claimed, those that are unclaimed were getting their hopes up to being claimed. But as Naruto did more reading he learned that it's possible that those that aren't claimed are children of Minor Gods. Only Olympians claim children not Minor Gods.

Right now Naruto is with Beckendorf heating the forge in Cabin Nine. when it became known who Naruto's mother was it started to make since to everyone. Why every time he'd make an offering to the hearth would burn brighter during meals and the time he started a fire during arts and crafts.

"See! I told you I didn't start that fire dattebayo!" shouted Naruto

"Because you didn't know how to control you power over fire," stated Beckendorf

Naruto pouts, "Take away from me why don't you! You know I could stop heating your forge?" said Naruto

"I was just joking. Your control has gotten better," said Beckendorf

"Well what do you expect?" Nartuo proudly stated, "I've been working on my control for three months now. It is nice that your dad Hep-itoko lets me in here, Big Beck dattebayo!" Naruto said with excitement

Beckendorf shacks his head, "I wonder if that's your Fatal Flaw?" questioned the counselor of Cabin Nine

"Being prideful? Fat chance in Hades! I will be the first one to tell you that I'm not perfect. I'll ask help if I need it. I believe in hard work to better oneself," said Hearth Boy

"Here! Here!" yelled Beckendorf completely agreeing with him.

That's one of many things that Beckendorf likes about Naruto, he is a hard worker. Hell, Beckendorf seen Naruto trying to make his own kunai and shuriken so he wouldn't have to bother the son of Hephaestus. They still come out like shit, but he's trying.

"There! That should keep the temperature high enough," said Beckendorf

"What are you trying to make if you don't mind me asking?" asked Naruto

"I'm checking all the armor and weapons for when summer gets here. It's only a few months away and I want to make sure that everything is in working order. And what about you? I heard of your new duties?" questioned Beckendorf

Every since Naruto was claimed he has been tending to the hearth in camp to keep it strong.

"It's all about control! I have to keep the hearth just right so it doesn't go out and become too big. Luckily Kaa-chan showed me how to do it dattebayo!" shouted Naruto

"Alright you're done here. If I need anything I'll let you know." said Beckendorf.

Naruto nods and leaves the cabin. Naruto made his way over to the hearth to check on it. He spends most of his free time at the hearth. It feels as though Hestia is there with him. Naruto looks over at Thalia's Pine Tree on top of Half-Blood Hill.

The son of Hestia was told the tell of the hill. That three Half-bloods were trying to make it to the camp with their satyrs guide. Being chased by hordes of monsters that wanted them dead. He'd heard what happened to all of them since then. Luke a son of Hermes became a traitor and wants revenge. Reminds Naruto of Sasuke wanting revenge against his brother Itachi for killing their whole clan in a single night. Annabeth left camp to try and reconnect with her father. Thalia became a tree. And Grover went to find the Lost God Pan.

When Nartuo really thinks about it. They are like Squad Seven. Luke is like Sasuke wanting revenge, Annabeth is like Sakura needing help from others, Thalia is like Nartuo willing to sacrifice oneself to protect others, and Grover is like Kakashi trying to guide them but fails. It is sad when one truly thinks about it.

BANG

Everyone in the camp stopped what they were doing.

BANG

There it was again.

BANG

And again.

BANG

Then on the fourth time part of the barrier breaks. Eight Laistrygonian Giants charge towards some of the few campers that are in the strawberry fields. A black chain comes out of nowhere wrapping around one of the Laistrygonian Giant's right arm. The rest of the Laistrygonian all stop to turn their heads to where the chain come from. Heat Rod become bright red. The Laistrygonian screams from the burning heat.

"TO ARMS!" yelled Clarisse.

With a mighty pull the arm is severed off from the Laistrygonian. Naruto pumped Chakra through his legs as leaped towards the one armed Laistrygonian. He kicks the giant's face in grabs Heat Rod and wraps it around the giant's neck. The blonde place his feet on the monster's head and pulls with all of his might burning through flesh, muscle, and bone. Then pop goes off the head! Now normally when a monster is killed they turn into gold dust, but when a monster is killed by Stygian Iron it absorbs the monster essence. That's what happened when Naruto beheaded the Laistrygonian Giant.

The other Laistrygonian didn't take that too kindly. In a mad rush, they charged towards Naruto. Mark and Sherman bash two of the giants from behind with their shields, Beckendorf throws a ball that explodes into a net that wraps around another, arrows pierce another in the knees forcing it to the ground, Travis and Connor double team one causing it to trip, and finally Clarisse throws her spear at one of the remaining two that are still charging Naruto.

The spear stabs one of the Laistrygonian causing it to cry out in pain. Naruto whips his chain-whip at the remaining Laistrygonian. The giant grabs the chain-whip and pulls the blonde towards him. Naruto couldn't even get Chakra to his feet in time to stop. The chain-whip becomes bright red, but the giant pushes through the pain and throws Naruto across the strawberry fields.

Mark slides underneath a Laistrygonian as it tries to grab him. He quickly turns around slicing through the giant's left leg. Without its left leg the giant fell over onto its front. Mark took advantage jumps on the Laistrygonian's back and stabs his sword into the monster's back cutting through the spinal cord killing it instantly.

Sherman uses his shield to block the iron club the Laistrygonian is wielding. The weight behind it causes his shield to cave in, but also breaks his arm. Mark saw this and rushes over to aid his brother. Mark leaps on to the cannibal's back repeatedly stabs its neck. The giant grabs Mark and throws him into the ground. Lifting its foot the giant aims to crush the son of Ares.

Sherman thrusts his spear into the Laistrygonian's back causing the giant to cry out in pain. Mark quickly got to his feet and thrusts his sword into the monster's chest aiming to end the fight. The blade pieces through the chest and goes through the heart ending it.

Beckendorf simple walks over to the tied up Laistrygonian. He says nothing but just raises his hammer up and descends down on to the cannibal's head crushing it. Travis and Connor are making sure to keep out of the Laistrygonian's range with its iron club. Beckendorf throws his hammer striking the monster in the head. The Stoll Brother took this advantage and stabs the giant in the chest killing it.

Lee and the rest of his siblings are keeping one of the few Laistrygonian that's alive distracted. The Laistrygonian rushes them til a sword flies into it's right shoulder. The creature stops and turns to face Mark. Mark is regretting his action for it left him without a weapon.

"Fuck me…" Mark simple says.

The cannibal roars at him while rushing him. Beckendorf tackles the monster holding it down. Travis and Connor run over and repeatedly stabs it in the chest killing it.

Naruto rolls on the ground. He holds his ribs feeling a few cracked. Blood running from the corner of his mouth. The son of Hestia gives the giant a death glare. Naruto summon a shadow clone and holds out his hand. The clone starts to help the blonde with his Chakra to form in his hand. Naruto whips his chain-whip at the Laistrygonian again. As the same before, the giant grabs hold of the chain-whip and pulls it towards him.

Naruto's clone finished with the Chakra to form the Rasengan just in time. Naruto fly towards the giant with his Rasengan out in front.

"Rasengan!" shouted Naruto as he slams the ball of Chakra into the monster head grinding through skull bone and into brain matter.

Clarisse is going toe to toe with the Laistrygonian. She is using the creature's size against itself by moving only a little slower then her; that's all it takes to win a battle. Cutting up the giant's arms to he'd lose grip of his iron club. Clarisse throws her shield into the Laistrygonian's mouth breaking a few teeth. She then grabs her spear and thrusts it into the monster's throat killing it.

Chiron gallops towards everyone.

"What happened?" orders Chiron

"Some Laistrygonian broke through the barrier," said Clarisse

Chiron looks around going through the battlefield, "Tend to the wounded. I want all campers to carry weapons at all time. Increase patrol with everyone wearing armor while doing so. I need to find why the barrier is weakening." orders Chiron before he gallops off.

May

Throughout the month monsters have been breaking through the barrier more frequency. Beckendorf is spending a large amount of time fixing weapons and armor to keep those who do border patrol, or those that fight the monster when they break through. Luckily the school year is ending and more campers are arriving to help with the defenses.

A pack of Hellhounds run through the forest. Heat Rod cuts through three Hellhounds.

"Come out to play!" yelled Naruto.

Naruto for the last hour has been chasing this pack of Hellhounds. This pack has been doing hit and run tactics for the last week. For such large creature they sure can cover distance fast. The blonde's mind has been wondering if they've been leading him into a trap.

"What are you doing? Hellhounds aren't this smart. I wonder if I'm nearing an Alpha?" questioned the blonde.

The pack of Hellhounds ran into a clearing where a much large Hellhound is waiting on them. Naruto lands on a tree branch.

"Yup, that's an Alpha!" said Naruto.

Through some research on monsters since the attacks started been enlightening. Some monsters had to be killed a certain way, while others could be killed anyway possible. But what he'd liked the most was the Spoil of Wars. With Naruto being Naruto he got the idea of using Spoil of Wars to try and make equipment. He learned that Hellhounds can used an ability called Shadow Travel. Naruto asked if Beckendorf can make something like that if he brings him Hellhound hide.

"Using Spoil of Wars to make weapons and armor?" Beckendorf rubs his chin, "It could be possible. I'll tell border patrol to bring me any Spoil of War that they get. This could finally give Half-bloods the edge that we need." stated Beckendorf.

Since then with every monster killed the Spoil of War was taken. Naruto stares at the pack of Hellhounds surrounding their Alpha. Pumping Chakra through his leather bands cause Epyon to fold out and Heat Rod extends out. Naruto jumps down and lands in a crouch.

The Hellhounds see the Stygian Iron but they don't back down, 'The Alpha is giving them the courage to face me, even though I'm using Stygian Iron.' thought Naruto.

The chain-whip becomes bright red. The Hellhounds leap towards the son of Hestia. Whipping his chain-whip around one of the Hellhounds and melts right through the creature of darkness. Bashing Epyon into the skull of another killing it. Thrusting his chain-whip going through an opened mouth and out the back of the head.

The Alpha had enough and jump towards Naruto. The Alpha pins Naruto down and bites down on his throat, but a cloud of smoke goes up. When the smoke cleared where Naruto was is now a Hellhound. The chain-whip wraps around the Alpha's neck. The son of Hestia pulls the chain-whip. The Alpha jumps around trying to get the blonde of its back.

Naruto flowed Chakra to the bottom of his feet sticking to the Alpha. The Alpha rams into a tree. Naruto heard a snap with pain flaring in his right shoulder. He pushes through the pain pulling the chain-whip harder. The chain-whip burns through the Alpha's hide. It tries to buck Naruto off its back furiously. Screaming with a final tug the head comes off. With the Alpha turning into gold dust Naruto falls to the ground. The remain Hellounds circle around the blonde to finish him off.

A silver arrow goes through one of the Hellhounds head killing it. The other Hellhounds run away. Naruto gets on his knees while holding his shoulder to look around. A group of girls come out of the forest.

"Milady?" Zoe asks

"Stand down Zoe. That is Naruto Uzumaki son of Hestia." said Artemis.

When the Goddess of the Moon said that the Hunters whisper to each other. Some of the older ones look at him and try to figure him out.

"You're Artemis and your her Hunters," stated Naruto

"Yes, but I must ask why are you so far up north?" asks Artemis

"I was chasing this pack of Hellhounds because they've been attacking the camp for the last week," said Naruto

"Ah, yes. I've heard that the barrier has been weakening. But why not just run them off?" asks Artemis

"I wanted the Spoil of Wars," answered Naruto

"Just like a man would say!" Zoe said with disgust

"Watch it nymph!" threatens Naruto

Zoe's eyes widened before she aims an arrow at the blonde, but Artemis stops her, "Zoe, you will stand down!" Artemis orders her Lieutenant

"I know your story. You got the short end of the stick," says Naruto as he reaches into his back pouch and takes out a small vile of nectar, "You're not the first person and definitely not the last," Naruto takes a small sip of nectar tasting Ichiraku Ramen, "Hatred leads to death. And with that I bid you a farewell!" shouted Naruto as he leaps into the trees.

Zoe just glares at the blonde as he leaves, 'How dare you say something that you pathetic man! Lady Hestia should of never had you!' Zoe shouts in her mind.

As Naruto leaps through the trees his mind begins to wonder. It was goes towards the Hunters. He knows it helps them, but they are healing. Artemis takes in young girls to get away from bad families, but she doesn't heal them; instead she lets their hate grow for men to unhealthy levels. Back in Konoha sexism has a zero tolerances.

He remembers reading through the rule book about the laws that Shinobi have to follow and sexism is a big no no he asked Tsunade once why that was.

"If we aren't equal to each other, then our teamwork ends. Konoha is known for our teamwork. When I was younger, I saw a woman being sexist and as punishment she was beaten to death to show everyone else that sexism has no tolerances in Konoha." said Tsunade.

Naruto stops on a tree branch and face palms. In his haste he'd forgot his loot, 'Damn those Hunters! Go back and get the hide or hunt more Hellhounds? It'll be faster if I'd just get the hide now.' Naruto thought.

Naruto turns around and heads back. He arrived back at the clearing with no Hunter in sight. He quickly grabs all the Hellhound hides and leaves, never noticing a pair of eyes staring at him filled with hate.

A few days passed since then, Naruto stares at Thalia's Pine Tree. Shortly after Naruto returned the tree was found poisoned. With the tree acting as the beacon for the barrier it was only natural with the tree dying so too would the barrier.

BANG

"TO ARMS!" yelled Naruto.

Five members from Ares' Cabin and a few from other cabins came running with Clarisse leading them.

BANG

"What's it this time?" asked Clarisse

"We're about Riss-chan." Naruto just answered as two Colchis bulls breaks through the barrier.

A line is made to block the Colchis bulls from break through, but it didn't do anything. Heat Rod wraps around one of the Colchis bull's neck and pulls it away from the line. The other Colchis bull breaths fire on to them.

"Formation!" shouted Clarrise

She only got six campers to form a line. The Colchis bull breaks through once again til a Cyclops came out of nowhere hitting the bull in the head.

"Riss-chan!" shouted Naruto

Clarisse turns her head and see that Naruto has the bull pinned with Heat Rod still wrapped around its neck. Clarisse throws her spear into the bull's side. The bull came crashing down.

"Get the wounded to the Big House!" a girl shouted running down the hill followed by a boy and the same Cyclops that destroyed the other Colchis bull.
