Spirit: Hello readers and welcome to our new chapter. On this one, Naruto will have a reunion with the silver hair masked shinobi/ANBU and the pink haired wrestler (Take three guesses as to who they are). Also, got a few things to say before I start.
First, I want to tell you the votes for the Aphrodite poll. Of whether if she should be with Hephaestus or not. And I would like to say that 75 people voted for her to be with him while 25 voted for her to not be with him. So I guess that means Aphrodite will be with Hephaestus. I hope that no one would abandon this story just because of that, although I'll understand if you do. I do that sometimes when there is a certain pairing I don't like.
And second, I have a poll on my profile about a Walking Dead story I'm going to make. I'm thinking of either having a Rick/OC or a Rick/Beth pairing. Which one do you guys think I should do? And don't ask about any other pairing, these are the two I might do, depending on the votes.
So, now that the announcements are out of the way, we'll start on the story. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: We do not own Naruto or Percy Jackson.
Chapter 5: Team 7 Reunion
(Olympus - Aphrodite Temple)
Aphrodite sighed as she paced around her room. She's been trying to talk to Hephaestus all these months, only for him to avoid her. She tried cornering him, but he surprisingly teleported out of her way in a yellow flash. She tried visiting him in his temple, but he was always busy. Nothing seemed to work.
She finally sat on her bed with a sigh. Not only that, but Ares has been bothering her. He's been wanting to have sex, but she didn't want to be with him, especially when he got insistent. She may be the goddess of lust, but she's also love and wanted that in the relationship. But when Naruto knocked some sense into her last year, she saw that Ares only lusted for her.
What could she do? That was the question Aphrodite been asking herself. After a few minutes, an idea form in her head and her eyes lit up. She could ask for help. Maybe ask someone with experience with marriage or knows Hephaestus. But the question is, who?
Zeus and Poseidon are automatically out. The two of them aren't exactly faithful, especially Zeus. Ares, Apollo, Hermes, and Dionysus are out as well. She doesn't want to see Ares, Apollo and Hermes never had been married, and there's no way she's going to ask a drunk for marriage advice. Hades is usually at the Underworld and he's not the kind of person you would want to ask for advice really, except for a few things that fits his domain. Artemis and Athena are virgins and she doubt the two experienced love in the past (Although she sensed the two developed feelings for Naruto). The both of them might know Hephaestus well, but the two of them don't exactly like her. Demeter has never been married either and probably doesn't know Hephaestus that well. Hera relationship with Hephaestus is as bad as hers.
So that leaves one person to ask for advice. Hestia.
(Goode High School)
"Move!" Percy grabbed Rachel by the waist and threw himself and the redhead out of the bench, just as the black and white lions charged through the benches. The benches were destroyed, as well as the lions, exploding into black ink as they crashed through the walls.
Percy quickly got up and pulled out his capped pen, changing it to riptide. "Why can't you guys just stay at your country?" Percy complained. "Don't you have other people to fight? And weren't you chasing Naruto?"
The black hair man smiled at him, a smile that even the densest person could see was fake. "Because of the growing amount of shinobi in our hospitals, the Hokage decided to capture you as a hostage. As a bargaining chip to get Naruto back to the village."
Percy was confused. Why would they want him? "Um, you do know that Naruto and I aren't that close right?" Percy questioned. "I mean, we did get along better now, but we aren't that close."
"You were the only one that wasn't protected." The masked man said simply. "And beside, Naruto would save anyone in danger, especially any of his friends. That is just who he is." Percy groaned. The mask guy is right though. Even though the two of them are different, they are alike as well. One of the similarities is that they would sacrifice their lives for their friends and families.
Percy then stood, holding his sword up. The brown hair man moved up to mask man side. "Boy, you're facing two elite Jonin and two chunin. It would be smart to surrender."
If any demigod that knew Percy heard that, they would've laughed. Percy Jackson is not one to surrender.
"Well I was trained by one of the best shinobi." Percy shot back. "I'm not going down without a fight. Just a question though, who are you four?"
The mask man looked like he smiled. "Well, it would be rude not to give proper introductions. My name is Kakashi Hatake. The pink hair there is Sakura. The brown hair man is Yamato and pale guy is Sai." Percy's eyes widen at the first two introductions.
"Wait a minute, so you are part of Naruto's team?" Percy asked. "The copycat ninja and the pink hair banshee? Naruto told me a lot about you two." Sakura grew a vein in her head at the nickname while Kakashi eye smiled.
"Really? And what are those things?" Kakashi couldn't help but ask. Percy sweat dropped a bit. Some of the things Naruto said about them wasn't really what you called good.
"Trust me. You don't want to know."
Before Kakashi could interrogate him about that, Yamato interrupted. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but we need to capture you. Now." He form a few hand signs in a quick motion and yelled "Wood Style: Binding Technique" before several large string of wood erupted from the ground. Percy's eyes widened as they closed in on him before grabbing Rachel bridal style (making the girl blush) and started avoiding the bindings.
"You can't dodge those bindings forever."
"And you can't keep at this forever." Percy retorted. True to his words, Yamato had to stop in order save up his chakra. Percy quickly made a water clone, something that surprised the others, before handing Rachel to the clone.
"Take Rachel out of here. Make sure she isn't harmed." Percy said. Before the redhead could protest, the clone burst out of there.
Kakashi couldn't help but be impressed. "Impressive. Not many could make water clones without their chakra being exhausted." Percy didn't respond to that. He was figuring out how on earth this guy could use a wood attack, something that belonged to Demeter's domain. He thought the gods shut that down, unless….
"I know this is a random question, but do you know who is your mother is?" Percy asked, directing the question to Yamato. The man blink at the random question before answering.
"I don't see how that's any of your business, but no, I don't know who my mother is. My father said she disappeared the day I was born." Percy groaned. Great. A demigod shinobi, a son of Demeter.
Percy didn't say anything else. He just charged at them with his sword drawn. Sai scribbled on his scroll and sent out two lions at him, but Percy put them down easily and swung his sword at Kakashi. The man quickly pulled out his kunai and blocked the attack.
"Hmm, a swordsman." Kakashi commented while pushing Percy back. "You think you can fight with that sword gaki?"
Percy brought his sword up and pointed it at Kakashi. "I had it for three years. And it helped me through jams for those years." With that, Percy launched himself at Kakashi.
He began fighting Kakashi and Sakura with a mixture of sword combat and hand to hand combat. During the fight, he had to bring up his shield that was made by Tyson in order to block a powerful punch from Sakura.
He slashed his sword at Kakashi, who blocked it with his kunai, but then Percy pulled it down. He blocked a punch from Sakura with his shield and then pushed Sakura while throwing Kakashi behind him with his sword. He ducked under another punch Sakura launched at him and rolled beside her before making a cut through her thigh, making her grunt in pain. Kakashi leapt up and sent a kick at him, but Percy bent down and blocked it with his shield. He quickly threw Kakashi on the ground before the man could get the chance to kick off and was about to stab him through the stomach but had to step back when piece of wood was launched at him.
Kakashi smiled. "I admit, you are good. Naruto has trained you well to last this long against the four of us." But then his eyes grew mischievous. "But now, you have fallen into a trap."
Percy was confused about that before he noticed something wet from under him. He looked down to see black ink under him. His eyes widened, but before he could move, the ink suddenly turn into small snakes and wrapped around him, binding him. Percy cried out in shock before he fell down to the ground.
Percy grunted as he struggled out of the restraints. Kakashi, along with the rest of them, walked over to the Son of Poseidon. Kakashi eye smiled. "Sorry kid, but we need you to get Naru-" Kakashi eyes suddenly widen and turn to the other. "Sakura, grab the boy quick. We need to-"
"Too late." A familiar voice said. A fireball was suddenly launched at all of them, causing the four to jump back to dodge the fire. Percy yelp as the fire nearly hit him.
A figure suddenly jumped down beside the bonded Percy and slowly stood up. It was Naruto Uzumaki, and boy does he look pissed.
"First, you send a group after my step-sister, one of them bluntly stated that he was planning to rape her." Naruto stated, his eyes turning fiery red mixed with stormy grey. "Then, you send another group after my half-brother. And now, you send my old team after my friend and apprentice."
Kakashi saw the red and grey mixture and knew they were in trouble. "Heya Naruto, long time no see. Just out of curiosity, are you also mad about my teaching skills when you were younger?"
"I wasn't, until you mentioned it."
"Oh."
"Naruto." Yamato said, getting the blonde to turn to him. "Can't you consider coming home? The leaf is not going to stop and soon, the other villages are going to find this place."
Naruto turn to him, his expression slightly softening. When Sasuke and Kakashi were injured due to fighting Itachi, they needed two replacements for team 7. Yamato and Sai were those replacements, and Naruto respected Yamato better than Kakashi or Jiraiya. "Sorry Yamato, but I said I can handle them. I'm not going to abandon my family."
"Naruto, why can't you just come back? We're just gonna keep doing this." Sakura stated. Naruto turned to her with narrow eyes, his eyes blazing and storming.
"And why would I listen to the person who had a hand of making my life there miserable there?" Naruto growled, causing Sakura to flinch. "You thought I forgot about all the punches you gave me? The insults? Especially when you commented about my parents?"
Sakura flinched even more. She remembered that day. It was that time she began to see what Naruto really was, instead of what she thought he is. It was the day Sasuke went missing, when Naruto was one of the people sent to retrieve Sasuke.
She had tried to make him promise not to harm Sasuke, which Naruto responded by saying that he couldn't promise that. They fought for a few seconds until Naruto finally had enough and left to do his mission. Before he left, she said one thing she regretted now.
"Maybe that's why your parents abandon you! Cause you care about nobody but yourself!"
It was then that Kakashi brought her to Tsunade for saying that. And the two explained the story of Naruto, telling her about his past. She realized how cruel she has been to Naruto and wallowed in guilt for years. "No, I doubt you did." Sakura said. "But I know now that it was stupid and cruel to you. Tsunade and Kakashi told me bits of your past to make me realize that. And I'm sorry."
Naruto let out a laugh. A cold laugh that caused chills to run through everyone's spine. "Sorry? You think sorry is going to make up for it?" He stated coldly. When he has a grudge, he holds it tightly. And he rarely has grudges unless someone deserves it. "For stating something that wasn't true? For saying I cared for nobody but myself? Sorry Haruno, but I'm not going to accept your fucking apology."
Sakura flinched at each sentence, like she had been slapped each time. Tears clouded her eyes at the coldness of Naruto's words.
Sai took out his scroll and prepared to draw more of his jutsu. "You have to come with us 'airhead', now." Naruto eyes twitch at the name. Sai had been using that nickname because of that damn blonde enigma.
"For the last time fucking time." Naruto said as fire formed around his arms. "No." Sai send out several lions, only for Naruto to throw fireballs at them and reducing them to ink puddles. Naruto look at the tied up Percy with a blank.
"Um, Squid Head use your head and think about what you're tied up in?"
"What are yo-" Percy then looks at the ink snakes on him and realization hit him. "Oh." He mentally got the water out of the canister and formed the water around him, making the ink melt off. Naruto smirked.
"You're beginning to learn to use that brain of your more. Excellent."
"Shut up."
"Hehe." Naruto chuckled a little before getting serious. "Percy, you take on Sai while I take the others. You're not strong enough to handle two experienced shinobi, but you can handle one." Percy nodded and pulled out his sword once again.
Yamato sent out wooden string at them, causing Naruto to jump up while Percy rolled to the side. When Naruto got high enough, he move downward in a fast pace with his one leg forward for a kick. It's also on fire as well
"Dynamic Entry!" Naruto yelled, forcing Team 7 to scattered in order to dodge the fiery attack. Naruto landed with an explosion and a giant hole at the end of it.
Kakashi look a bit impressed. "Wow, where did you learn that? I doubt I saw any shinobi do that trick." Naruto got up from the hole and grinned.
"From my father Kakashi." Naruto answered. The two of them then began fighting in hand to hand combat, throwing punches and kicks as well as blocking and dodging. There were a few students watching all of this in awe, as well as teachers.
They also saw the elemental attacks, shocking the lot of them. Unfortunately for the shinobi, jutsu weren't automatically hidden in the mist. Meaning that anyone that was still in the gym was seeing all of this. Some were recording as well.
Soon, Sakura joined the fight and Naruto had to harden his skin in order to keep any bones from breaking from Sakura hard punches. It was an ability he learned while he was training, coming from his ancestor, Atlas.
After a few minutes, the three pushed back since the fight was going nowhere. "You certainly has gotten stronger since a decade ago Naruto." Kakashi complimented. "But unfortunately, we need to take you back no matter what. Yamato, now!"
A wooden dragon suddenly shot up from behind Naruto and it went towards Naruto, making the watchers yell for Naruto to look out. Naruto didn't even hesitate. He turned around, forming a "Molten Rasengan" and destroying the dragon with one hit. Sakura, Kakashi, Yamato, and the mortals here look at Naruto with wide eyes.
'...Why are we fighting him again?' Kakashi and Yamato thought.
(Sai vs. Percy)
Percy dodged two lions sent by Sai before making two ice tridents and throwing it at Sai. Like Percy, Sai dodge those before drawing more beasts. Percy used this chance to charge at Sai with his sword drawn.
"Ninja Art: Super Beast Imitation!" Sai yelled as several beasts came out of the scroll. Percy either cut through the beasts or block any that got to close with his shield, before sending a slash at Sai. Sai responded by taking out a kunai and blocking the attack.
The two began fighting one another in close combat, trying to outdo the other. Slowly, is losing the fight. He may be fairly skilled at Taijutsu, but Percy was a natural swordsmen and been trained in hand to hand combat to boot. Percy then ducked at a roundhouse kick before finding an opening and cut his leg. Sai grunted as he jumped back, holding his bleeding side.
'The boy is strong.' Sai thought as he held the bleeding leg. 'Danzo-sama would want this boy in his ranks.' He then started drawing up the Snake binding technique in order to capture Percy, but then his body stopped moving. Sai eyes widened at that before his hand slowly went down and drop his ink and scroll.
Percy was holding his hand out with a smirk. "Funny thing about the body is that there is sixty percent of water in adult guys. Meaning I can control your body if I could get a cut on you." He bent his arm back before pushing it forward, sending Sai to propel in the bleachers.
Percy grinned. It times like this that loves being the Son of Poseidon.
Yamato saw the attack, making his eyes widen. "Sakura, take down the boy! Now!" Sakura didn't question it, since she saw the attack as well, and ran at him with her fist cocked up for a punch.
Percy saw this and used his shield to block the attack. Unfortunately, he didn't know how strong Sakura actually was and thrown back a few feet from where he was, rolling on the ground. Percy groaned. How did that girl get that much strength?
Sakura crack her knuckles, glaring at the boy. "This is for calling me a banshee. Cherry Blossom Impact!" Percy attempted to move up to dodge, but knew that it would be too late. Before the attack could though, Naruto appear in front of Naruto and blocked the punch while behind them, the ground tore up and the wall behind them was destroyed. Percy idly wondered how he wasn't unconscious right now.
Naruto glare at her. "Attacking my friend? Really? Did you forget the last person who did that? If you did, then let me remind you." Sakura's eyes widen, along with Percy, as Naruto started glowing red. Percy scrambled away from the clone bomb and Sakura try pulling her fist to get away, but the clone had a vice grip.
The clone then exploded, propelling Sakura to the two jonin and landing on her back, barely conscious. She groan as she stood up, severely hurt from the attack.
"...I think it's time for a tactical retreat, don't you?"
"Definitely." Yamato responded. There is no way they could fight Naruto. He grew stronger, a lot stronger, from those eleven years ago.
The two quickly gather their fallen comrades and teleported out while Naruto reappeared in front of Percy, causing the boy yelp and fall on his butt.
"Don't do that!"
"Do what?" Naruto said innocently. Percy glared at him, making Naruto laugh. "Kidding. Though, I will make no promises. By the way, good job with the fight with Sai."
Percy lost his glare and smiled slightly at the praise. "I figure if I can get a cut on him, I could use the water in the body to push him back."
"Excellent." Naruto said with a nod. "Using your head and your guts. You're getting stronger and stronger Perce." Percy grinned at that. This is what receiving praise from an older sibling is like for the ones with siblings.
They then noticed remaining students and teachers here, watching them, with mouth agapes. One of those teachers was Paul Blofis, looking at Percy with a stun look.
"Hehe, whoops." Naruto said, laughing awkwardly and scratching the back of his head while Percy sweat dropped at the site of the students and teachers. "Guess we had witnesses. Guess it's time to go." With that, he grabbed Percy and fire teleport them out of there.
Tomorrow, those two will be all over the internet.
Spirit: And that's the end. We hope you guys liked the fight. Team 7 vs Naruto and Percy. And it looks like Percy has gotten stronger. Naruto's training sure does wonder for demigods. And it looks like Aphrodite is going to talk with Hestia as well.
Also, I want to know if anybody would want to make a reading story of the series. I think there is potential for that and I want somebody to write one. Please PM me if you want to do it. I want to see that.
Also, remember to check out the new poll on my profile.
Phoenix: Well that was an interesting chapter and Naruto has gotten a lot colder and ANOTHER demigod shinobi.
Spirit: Review, favorite, and follow and we will see you later.
