Hello readers and welcome to my new chapter. Before we start, I justwant to say thanks to the readers who kept reading this story, especially if you didn't like some of the pairings, like Aphrodite/Hephaestus. I really appreciate it and I'm glad I didn't mess up anything if I still have this many readers reading.
Also, someone kept suggesting for Hera to be in the harem. I wonder what the rest of you guys think about it. Should I have Hera a part of it or just have Naruto give advice to her to how to gain his father's trust? Tell me what you think on the review.
Phoenix: Well she is rarely in the pairing with others except Zeus
Also, I'm thinking in the future, that I make a story where Naruto is the son of Atlas. I never saw seen that happen before (If any of you saw a fanfic of that, show me), so I'm thinking of trying it out. Maybe have him use a shield as a weapon, like Captain America.
And lastly, on this story, Naruto and his group of demigods (And Rachel) bump into the Red Templars. So, enjoy.
Disclaimer: We do not own Naruto or Percy Jackson.
Chapter 6: The Red Knights
(Leaf Village)
Seven shinobi dead. Two unconscious. One missing. Two unharmed. And none of the targets. That's was the thing Tsunade is seeing right now.
"Naruto was there, at every place." Kakashi said with a grimace. "Made some kind of lava clone, that lasted longer than regular shadow clones and beaten all three groups quite easily." Tsunade sighed at this.
"We'll need a new plan then." Tsunade sighed. Kakashi and Yamato shared a look of worry, wondering if they should say it.
"Um, Lady Tsunade," Kakashi said cautiously, like trying to talk to a wild dog. "Should we send out any more shinobi to the U.S.? Many of the shinobi are in the hospital and some are dead."
Tsunade rub her forehead in frustration. "I know that Kakashi, but we need to get Naruto. One, he's is still a villager of the hidden leaf. Two, the other villages are after him. And three, its so he can appease the other villages on our side and the countries."
"We know that," Yamato spoke up. "But we can't exactly force Naruto to calm down the villages, the countries, and the younger generations. It would also make us look like kidnappers if we tried to bring him back by force or blackmail."
Kakashi continued. "And Naruto seems to be doing fine on his own. May I remind you of the body pile in the hospitals AND the graves? Add to the fact if we can't use our ninjutsu or genjutsu, then the other villages sure can't. That would put any shinobi in a major disadvantage."
Tsunade sighed, rubbing her head. They're right though. Naruto seems to be handling himself well enough there. And forcing him back isn't really going to help them gain their allies back.
"Guilt him back here." The three shinobi turned to see Danzo standing at the door. "Have his closest people go to the U.S. and have them convince him to come back. I doubt that he wouldn't listen to his 'precious people'."
Tsunade scowled at the sight of him and stood up, glaring at him. "And why would I do that? I'm not going to resort to manipulation to get him back."
"You already resorted to kidnapping, why not guilt?" Danzo retorted, staring back at her without flinching. "And if you don't, then I will. The younger generation doesn't need much convincing to get you out of office due to their rebellion against the older generation and I can convince the older generation to do it, saying that you are doing a horrible job protecting this village. I can have all the ANBU go get Naruto and kill anyone in their path. Either way, the jinchuuriki is coming back in our grasp."
Tsunade gritted his teeth. She didn't really have a choice in the matter, and if she refused, he might turn Naruto into a Root ANBU if he became Hokage. "Damn you. Damn you to hell." Tsunade hissed. Danzo merely smirked.
This village will have its weapon back, no matter what the cost. None of them noticed an owl flying off in the distance.
(Goode High)
After the fight with the shinobi, Naruto got Percy in the car with Leo, Piper, and Rachel (Who was found by a clone of Naruto). As they drove, he's been telling Piper, Leo, and Rachel about his life outside the United States. Piper's eyes were as wide as a dinner plates after he finished his story. "Greek stories are one thing, but a hidden continent? And ninjas who can use super powers?"
"I know." Leo muttered, not believing it himself. "I'm surprised none of our brains are fried." Although he is taking it easier than Piper is, considering that he knew a little bit about Naruto and Camp Half-Blood before all of this.
Rachel, however, was taking this much better than the other two. She has been seeing crazy stuff ever since she was a kid, so it was a relief to hear the Greek mythology was real. And while Naruto being from a hidden continent is surprising, she is still taking much better.
"I gain some crazy friends." Rachel said, shaking her head. Rachel then looked at Percy, who is spinning his pen around with his finger. "By the way, where did you learn that clone trick?"
Percy pointed his pen at the person in the front seat. "Oh, that explains a lot." Rachel commented. She then had a smirk on her face. "So, can those last long?"
Percy thought about it for a minute. "Against minor injuries and cuts? Yeah, they can last against those. Against mild to major injuries as well as major pain? No." Rachel smirked even more. Oh, the things Percy can do with that trick.
Naruto heard the conversation and shook his head. He regretted ever taking out the Icha Icha book out of his bag. How did that pervy sage sneak that inside anyway and how did he not notice it for years? He wish he did though, because when he tried to get rid of it that day, Rachel ended up finding it. And she turned into a mild pervert.
He felt bad for Percy for when Rachel sinks her claws in him.
"So, we're heading the camp?" Leo asked from the seat. Naruto nodded.
"Hopefully, we won't get any more inter-"
POP
Naruto cried out in shock as he tried to steady the car, a tire damaged. In the back, the other four cried out and held on to something to keep them steady. Finally, Naruto manage to stop it and kept his lunch in the process, along with the others.
"What…" Percy breathed, clutching his pen tightly. "Just happened?"
Naruto looked around outside of the car to see if anything is there. "Don't know. We better get out though and check the tires." Before he did though, he pressed a seal on his arms, getting three weapons out.
One was a giant bronzed long handled hammer with a metal head on top. The other was a long bronzed chain whip with a dark metal dart. And the last is two bronzed stun batons.
"Leo, this is yours." Naruto said, giving the hammer to Leo. "This is Gekido Hanma (Wrath Hammer). Only finger imprinted, so only you and me can lift it. Not only does it pack a punch, but it can heat up to the point of melting a man's face at your will."
Leo grabbed the hammer as he look it with undisguised excitement. "Awesome!" Leo exclaimed with stars in his eyes. "And I can also carry it easily!"
"It may feel light, but it can still pack a wallop punch." Naruto said with a smirk. He then turned to the daughter of Aphrodite. "And Piper, this is for you."
He held the chain whip. "This is Mamushi (Viper). This is a special chain whip, as the tip can transform from a metal head to a metal ball. The metal head is coated with a toxic that can paralysis a body part by one cut. This should suit you, considering your training with the chain whip."
Piper grab the chain as she look at it in awe. A couple of years ago, she, Naruto, and her dad went to a parade. During that time, she saw someone performing flawless moves with a chain whip, something she wanted to know. So when she begged Naruto to teach her that, she practiced for years. She shivered a bit when she thought about the training, but ignored it.
"Thank you Naruto." Piper said with a huge smile. Naruto smiled back before turning to Rachel, who had an eager grin on her face.
"And last, but not least, Rachel Elizabeth Dare." Naruto said before showing her the two stun batons. "These are Sanda and Raitoningu (Thunder and Lightning). These don't seem like much, but when you press the buttons on the bottom of the hilt, they will be incased with electricity that can knock a person unconscious in the lowest power.
Rachel grabbed the two handles and pressed the buttons on the bottom, getting them to be incased with electricity like Naruto explained. She grinned. "Have you been planning to give these to us?"
"Maybe, maybe not." Naruto said, his face betraying nothing. "Now let's go and see what popped that tire." It had to be something very sharp to damage these things and also had to be aimed well.
The group slowly got out of the car, weary and cautious. Naruto slowly walked around the car while the group was spread out. Naruto then notice a glow red from the tire.
"Huh?" He muttered before looking closely at the broken tire. His eyes widen when he saw what's the item is.
Red lyrium.
"Shit." Naruto muttered, before he stood up and look at the others. "Everyone stay on your guard! There are dangerous enemies in the area!"
Suddenly, red crystals shot out of the trees and directly at Percy. The son of Poseidon's eyes widened before turning on his shield on his wrist and blocked the crystals.
Several knights came out of trees in different directions. Some also dug out of the road, with crossbows pointed at them. Naruto, Piper, Leo, Rachel, and Percy couldn't help but notice something that made the five out of six them pale while Naruto scowled.
Each of them had red lyrium attached on them, from a few sticking out of their armor to a ray of lyrium sticking out of their back. All of them are glowing red with a slightly crazed look on their eyes.
"Red templars." Naruto growled, grabbing Kasai and changing it to an axe. "Guys, do not hold back! Aim to kill these guys! These aren't men, these are turned monsters!" Leo, Rachel, and Piper are surprised by the severe tone in his voice, but they gain their composure. They heard that they aren't men and seeing their appearances, it's not that hard to believe.
All of the red templars charged at them while the few with crossbows or bows stayed back. Naruto took down any that came at him with several complicated swings from his axe, plus some fireballs. Whenever they get hit with a major cut, they dissolved into red crystals.
It was the same for the others. Leo and Piper were working together, side by side as they took down their own group. Like Naruto, Leo was taking down the templars with the swings of his hammer and fireballs while Piper used several swinging techniques to take down the ones on her front and on their sides. Leo occasionally set out fireballs at the archers.
Meanwhile, Rachel and Percy were working with each other as well. Percy was slashing his sword around at the templars nonstop as well as blocking any arrow shots while Rachel was taking them down with single blows in the head by her stun baton. Percy was also helping Leo in taking down archers by sending out ice kunai from his canteen.
Soon, the fights started dwindling down and the remaining templars were forced to retreat. After the last one was either dead or had run away, four of the youngest collapsed on the ground.
"Man…." Leo said, breathing heavily. "I almost thought those guys were endless." The others nodded in agreement. Naruto, however, only looked winded compare to the others.
He grinned at them. "Well, you guys did well for your first time in a fight." He was talking to Leo, Piper, and Rachel. "Though we need to work on stamina. The group we just faced was just a small one and a bigger group would've overwhelmed you."
Leo's eyes popped open, along with Piper, Rachel, and Percy. "That was small?!" Rachel exclaimed, voicing everyone's thoughts. Naruto chuckled.
"And the weakest of the red templars." Naruto added in. "There are several evolutions are red templars. That was the beginning stage,when they barely digested the lyrium."
"What is lyrium anyway?" Piper asked, very confused. "And what exactly are the red templars? Why do they have that power?" Naruto sigh, deciding to start from the beginning of the Templar's history.
So he did, telling them about the mage and demigod hunters. How they were from, the wars they fought, the war between mages and templars, and how they started digesting lyrium. He also explain about lyrium, red lyrium, and the effects of both of them, also why they disappeared.
Piper is sitting on the rock, digesting everything. "First Greek myths, then ninjas, and now knights?" She muttered. She never thought her day would come out like this.
"You okay Beauty Queen?" Leo asked, seeing the look of disbelief on her face. Piper's eyes snapped up to him when she heard the nickname.
"Beauty Queen?"
"Hey, you are very hot and look like those beauty pageant girls, the name suits ya." Leo replied with a grin, ignoring the glare she gave him. Naruto shook his head at Leo's antics before speaking up.
"Well, we better start walking from here." Naruto told them. "The way to camp is not long from here and the longer we stay, the more likely a monster will attack. Four demigods, one of them being a son of Poseidon, makes a strong scent for them to follow."
Percy immediately nodded in agreement, not wanting to be caught by any monsters, while Piper and Leo look confused. "Scent?"
"The monsters can smell our godly blood." Naruto and Percy chorused together, like they have said it several times. Piper and Leo didn't question anymore and merely followed the two, along with Rachel. Like them, they were not eager to face any monsters anytime soon.
(Akatsuki Hideout)
It's been months since the Akatsuki allied with Kronos. Because of that alliance, the Titans gave the group of a bit of their immortal blood in order to let them use their abilities outside of the Elemental country.
It was an extreme boon to ally with the Titan, but so far, the only chance they had to use that boon was when they sent Deidara and Sasori to capture Naruto Namikaze. And the two ended up dead. Now, they were just waiting.
"I was wondering when you would show up." Pein, the seemingly leader of the Akatsuki, spoke. Behind him, an orange mask shinobi appeared behind him.
Most of the Akatsuki members think he's Tobi, a happy-go-lucky, but skilled Akatsuki that annoyed most of them. But in reality, it was Madara Uchiha, the true person leading the organization.
"Zetsu was reporting to me about the Kronos' army." Madara replied. "I'll tell you about that later. What did you find out about Kronos' plan?"
"Kronos is planning to use Sasuke's body as a host." Pein told him. "He'll have the medical shinobi, Kabuto, awaken him and take over Sasuke's body as his own. He's also having him go to the Underworld to bathe in the river Styx, to gain indestructible skin."
Madara thought about what Pein told him. He read up on Greek history and knew that he needed to stop him. Not only is he planning to enslave everyone, but he will also kill the Akatsuki as well and Kronos' plans clashes with his owns. If he takes a physical form, there will be a chance that he would ruin his goals. But maybe if he could merge Sasuke and Kronos…
"I might just get a useful pawn." Madara murmured, he then looked at Pein. "Okay, now I'll tell you what I know about his army. It seems that in order to replace the demigod army he lost, he recruiting Templars and you know about the shinobi in the sound. He's also planning to recruit the rock, waterfall, and cloud village as well, with promises of giving them their jinchuurikis back."
Pein took a moment digest what he been told. "So what is the plan?"
"We sabotage the ritual into making Sasuke's our puppet." Madara told him. "And then we will destroy Naruto Uzumaki, the Olympians, and their children. With them gone, no one will get in our way."
(Underworld)
Greek mythology, the Dragon Age, Naruto's history. Those are several things Sasuke had to study.
Not only that, but he been trained by the sound ninjas that survived and loyal to Kabuto. From taijutsu to several ninjutsu, Sasuke has learned things he can't possibly imagine learning back at the leaf village.
He also learned several things about Naruto. Like Kronos has said, knowledge of your allies and enemies makes you more powerful and researching how powerful Naruto is now prepares him for when he fights Naruto.
Though he couldn't help, but notice the number of friends he got, particularly all of the female friends. Maybe when he destroys his home, he can take them as his slaves, just to spite Namikaze.
But right now, he's on a mission. Kronos told him that he can be indestructible by bathing in the river Styx, make his skin like iron. There would only be one vulnerable spot and he can choose who he can tell.
Sasuke smirked. The power to be indestructible, to only have one spot that would hurt him, is something that most would give anything to have. He looked at the river in front of him, ready for him.
Naruto, better prepared. Cause he will kill him and all of his family, just like his died.
And that's the end. So Sasuke is going in the river Styx like Luke did in the canon. And what do you guys think about the Red Templars appearing, as well as Leo's, Piper's, and Rachel's new weapons? And what do you think of the chapter itself?
Remember to tell me what you think about the Hera/Naruto thing. Also remember to check out my poll if you hadn't already，lastly review, favorite, and follow, and I will see you later.
