Hello readers and welcome to my new chapter. Before I start, I would like to say something. I'm not gonna be updating frequently as I did in the summer. I got school now and my mother has me on a two hour limit on my computer. I also got chores, as well as homework, so I'll busy. I'm telling you guys this so you won't question why I'm not updating as quickly as before.
Also,I would like to tell you guys about the votes on the poll. 23 voted for Rick/Beth while 11 voted for Rick/Oc. So that means I'll make a Rick/Beth fanfic. Now, I already work out the beginning for the game version of the Walking Dead, I just have to work out the TV version. I'll show what I wrote so far at the bottom, during the author notes at the end of the story, but right now, here what I thought of.
Lori and Rick divorced two years before the apocalypse. A year after the divorce, Beth was hired to be a nanny for Carl whenever Rick is taking care of him (Or if Lori couldn't take care of Carl for some reason). A few weeks after, the two started dating, even though there is an age gap between them, and Rick planned to propose to Beth right before he got shot. And instead of Beth being at the Greene farm, she would be with the Atlanta group, an idea I got from reading a Walking Dead fanfic called Breath of Life, by Pretty Racing. So what do you guys think? Good? Bad?
Also, the idea for my Walking Dead game version is fanfic is Lee having a fifteen year old sister with him in the apocalypse, something I doubt any other reader thought of (I'm also going to decrease his age to thirty). Lee also didn't kill the senator in my story and I'm planning for Lee and Carley to already know each other. Tell me what you think of those two ideas on the review.
I'm planning to do the fanfic once I finish one or two other of my fanfics. So, enjoy.

Chapter 7:Fear of Dogs
(Camp Half-Blood)
The walk wasn't long for the four demigods and one mortal. They soon hike up the crest of the hill and saw the guardian dragon, Peleus.
"What the hell?!" Leo exclaimed as he, Piper, and Rachel jump back in shock at the sight of dragon. Percy and Naruto hid a smile at the reactions of the two.
"Yeah, that's Peleus. Our guardian dragon." Naruto told them, still holding back a smile. "He is here to guard the Golden Fleece, which is used to strengthen the border around the camp." The two girls and the Latino boy looked confused.
"Okay, I know about the golden fleece, but not about the border." Piper looked at him.
Naruto chuckle sheepishly. "Sorry, I forgot to tell you that." He turned to Percy. "Hey Perce, how about you go tell them? I'm gonna go report to Chiron about the shinobi attacking us and see if Cally's got anything from the shinobi I captured."
"Sure thing." Percy said with a nod. With that, Naruto disappeared in a flash, making Piper, Leo, and Rachel dropped their mouths in shock.
"He can teleport." Piper stated. It wasn't a question about it, since she clearly saw it. After a few seconds, Leo lost his shock look and his eyes shined in awe.
Hes got a very awesome brother!
(The Big House)
"Three groups of shinobi, trying to kidnap our demigods." Chiron muttered, shaking his head in disbelief. First it was Naruto, now it was three demigods, one of them part of the great prophecy. "Why?"
Naruto sighed. "That's what I'm going to figure out. I sent one of the shinobi to the barracks for Cally to interrogate. She should be done by now or soon. But we also got other problems. One-not-so-big and one really big."
Chiron nodded, waiting for Naruto to speak. Instead of speaking, Naruto pulls out a laptop (He designed several electronics to work with demigods without ringing the dinner bell for monsters) and showed him a video on YouTube. Chiron paled when he saw Naruto and Percy fighting a bunch of shinobi.
"Zeus and all of the Olympians!" Chiron cursed in Greek. Mortals saw Naruto and Percy fight, powers and anything. "How come the mist didn't change that?"
Naruto shrug. "The mist doesn't work for shinobi. Technically, even though all of us have at least a little of Titan blood in us, none of us are really part of Greek or Roman myths. Shinobi fighting is technically normal in the hidden continent."
Chiron has a bad feeling about the next news. "And what about the next news?" Naruto has a grim face that didn't make Chiron feel any better.
"The red Templars are here. And probably with Kronos's army."
Chiron froze. And he started cursing out every single obscenity known to mortals and immortals. Finally, after a few minutes, he finally calmed down and leaned his hand on the table.
He was silent for two minutes. Then asked, "How do you know that the red Templars are here?"
"Percy, the new campers I brought and I fought with them." Naruto told them, crossing his arms and leaning back. "Minor ones, who rarely consumed any red lyrium. I'm betting that Kronos is saving up the stronger ones for the war that is to come." Chiron nodded to that.
"Do you think you can locate them?" Chiron asked him, only getting a shake of the head by Naruto.
"I need months to do that and we're already trying to uncover another plot." Naruto said. "Until we find out what Kronos is planning now, I can't start tracking down the Templars or their lyrium reserves." Chiron nodded mournfully to that.
"I see." Chiron stated, before looking straight at Naruto. "Then we better find out soon. And prepare for anything." Naruto nodded.
Naruto went the entrance of the main room. Before he left, he stopped to tell Chiron something. "We will have a lot to do Chiron. We'll probably need to send more than one group of demigods for a quest this year." With that, he left, leaving Chiron to ponder on what he said.
(Barracks)
"So what did you find out Cally?" Naruto asked, leaning on the wall of the barracks. After talking to Chiron, Naruto immediately went to the barracks to see what Cally had found out.
Cally shrug. "Nothing much. Just the usual things happening in that village of yours. And also, the reason that they tried to kidnap Percy and the two new demigods is because they tried to use them as blackmail."
Naruto scowled heavily at that. Tsunade is willing is using blackmail to get him back to the village? He knows that ninjas use any way possible to complete a mission, but messing with ANY of his friends is no-no.
"If this keeps up, I'm going to that village and giving them a piece of my mind." Naruto growled, his eyes glowing red a bit. Cally step back a bit at the look of anger in Naruto's eyes, but recomposed herself.
"So, what we should do with him?" The daughter of Dionysus pointed at the shinobi in a cell, who looked beaten up and bloodied. Naruto's eyes had a glint in it that caused Cally to shiver a bit.
"We make sure to give the village a message." Naruto said darkly. "Use your best illusions and traumatize him. I want to show the Leaf I mean business and giving them the heads of the defeated shinobi isn't going to stop them." Gods know he tried that several times already.
Cally look like Christmas came early for her and eagerly went to wake the man for the illusion. While she was doing that, Naruto walked out of the barracks and outside to check on his friends and siblings.
He quickly went to Aphrodite cabin, to check on little Lacy and Silena. He was about to knock on their door, when he heard swords clashing. He looked to see Percy's sword, Riptide, clashing against a bronze blade from Quintus, the temporary swordsmanship trainer and his hell hound, Mrs. O'Leary.
Naruto sighed, shaking his head. "Forgot that Squid Head doesn't know about Mrs. O'Leary." He used fire teleportation and stood between the two as they were about to strike each other. Using his new abilities, he stopped the swords from hitting him and, with a crack of the air, pushed the two away from each other and on their backs.
"Oww." Percy groaned, rubbing his head. "I think I hit my head."
"Suck it up, Squid Head, you've felt worse." Naruto retorted, remembering the adventures Annabeth told him about. Poisoned by a chimera, his chest scratched deeply by a hellhound, holding up the sky? Yeah, the kid felt more pain more than any other demigod. He then looked at Quintus with disapproval. "Quintus, you know you're not supposed to fight campers out of activities."
"Sorry about that Naruto." Quintus said, slowly getting up from his place on the ground. "But it seemed the boy was about to kill Mrs. O'Leary."
"Mrs. O'Leary?"
Naruto pointed at the dog, who looked around when her named was called. "The hellhound you were about to kill is Quintus' pet. Forgot to tell you about that, so that's my bad."
"A hellhound for a pet." Percy mumbled in wonder while Quintus and Mrs. O'Leary walked away. "Never thought I'd see the day."
"Never thought Greek mythology would be real, either. And now here we are."
Percy didn't see anything wrong about that, knowing that's true. So Naruto changed conversation. "So where are Leo and Piper, along with Rachel?"
"Piper and Leo both got claimed when I showed them around, Leo in Hephaestus cabin while Piper is at Aphrodite cabin." Percy told him while Naruto nodded. He knew those two were going to get claimed by his dad and Aphrodite, just didn't know that it would be so soon. "As for Rachel, well…."
Naruto suddenly heard a whimper a few feet away from him. He looked up and towards the direction of the whimper, to see Rachel hanging on a tree. Naruto stifled his laughter.
"Let me guess, she saw the hellhound?" Naruto said, still stifling his laughter. Percy nodded, confused and concerned for Rachel.
Rachel whimpered again, slowly opening one eye. "Is it gone? Is it?"
"It's gone Rachel." Percy called out since Naruto couldn't say anything with his laughter. Rachel sighed in relief before getting down and walking towards the two boys.
Naruto manage to contain his laughter, but has a grin on his face. "You still afraid of dogs Rachel?"
"Shut up." Rachel replied with a pout, though Naruto merely grinned. Percy looked from Naruto to Rachel before speaking.
"Okay, why is Rachel so afraid of dogs?" Percy asked in confusion. Her fear looks as bad as Annabeth's (or any Athena cabin member's) fear of spiders or Thalia's fear of heights.
Naruto snickered while Rachel shivered at the memory. "A few years ago, I made a bet with Rachel. If she could cover her whole body, clothes and all, with peanut butter, I would take her anywhere she wants. She took the bet and completely covered herself with peanut butter, outside of her house."
Naruto grin when he saw the shocked look on Percy's face. "When I was about to take her back in the house, a pack of small dogs smelled it and got out of the alley. When Rachel saw a bunch, she got extremely scared and ran. She got even more scared when the dogs started surrounding her and licking her from all over. Thus, started the fear of dogs."
Rachel shivered at the memory while Percy tried not to laugh. Rachel covered herself with peanut butter, just to win a bet? Rachel saw him stifling his laughter and glared at him. "It's not funny!"
"I'm sorry, but it is." Percy said between his covered laughter. "I hope that fear will react when you see Mrs. O'Leary every single time. She's gonna be here for a while." Rachel paled even more and whimpered before latching onto Percy's arm. Immediately, the boy stopped laughing and blushed at the close proximity.
Naruto grinned at the two, already telling that the two liked each other. Before he could say anything, he saw Chiron galloping towards them. Naruto look up at the centaur. "Hey Chiron. Is there something you need?"
"I need both you and Percy to come with me Naruto." Chiron said, but then noticed Rachel with the two males. He was about to ask, when Naruto gave him a look that says 'ask later'. Chiron continued. "Grover is in a bit of a tight spot."
"What do you mean?" Percy asked, immediately worried for his friend. "What happened?"
Chiron held his hand in a placating manner. "He's not in any physical danger. He's only having a meeting with the Council of Cloven Elders." He explained to them. "He needs his friends to give him support. Bianca, Annabeth, Thalia, and Clarisse are already there, so that only leaves you two."
"Then lead the way Chiron." Naruto said, with Percy agreeing, while Rachel was staring at awe of the centaur. While the four walked, Rachel started whispering to them.
"Is that Chiron, the centaur trainer?"
"Yep, that is the one."
"...This camp is getting more and more stranger."
"You'll get used to it." Naruto and Percy said simultaneously. Zeus knows they did.
(Cloven Meeting)
Naruto really want to skin certain goats right now. Then tie them up, burn them, and then feed them to the Canadians (Laistrygonians).
Naruto and Percy manage to join up in time, with Annabeth, Clarisse, Bianca, and Grover's new girlfriend, Juniper. Currently, Juniper was in tears right now while Annabeth and Bianca were doing their best to comfort her. After Naruto told Chiron about Rachel, he brought her to the Big House to tell her about camp. Percy stared at the girl, wondering who she was.
Naruto, taking pity at the boy's confusion, leaned in to the boy. "That's Grover's girlfriend, Juniper. A tree nymph."
"Grover has a girlfriend?!" Percy whispered loudly in surprised. Naruto nodded.
"A couple of things had happened since you left camp. I'll tell you about them later." Naruto whispered back. Percy nodded before they heard the cloven leader bang the gavel.
And thus started Naruto resisting turning the goats into rugs. Those old goats refused to listen to Grover, not believing that the guy sensed Pan, and then only gave Grover a week to find Pan, with no resources. And if he fails, he would have to surrender his searchers license.
When the Cloven Elders left, Naruto and the others moved up to Grover's side, who was standing at his spot with a stunned look on his face.
"Oh Grover!" Juniper cried, hugging her shell-shocked boyfriend. "Please, speak to me."
"Hang on." Naruto sighed, getting behind the satyr. "Step back a bit Juniper." The nymph did, and when she did, Naruto slapped Grover upside the head.
"Ow!" Grover cried out, holding the back of his head. He gave Naruto the stinky eye. "You didn't have to hit so hard."
Naruto shrugged. "Just had to be sure you were out of it. You froze when the council said you have a week to find Pan or you would surrender your searcher's license." When Naruto said that, Grover went into his next state. Panic mode.
"Oh man, what am I'm going to do?! I can't find Pan in only a week! I should give up no-"
"Thalia, you slap him this time." Naruto said tiredly, pinch the bridge of his nose. Seriously, the satyr panics way too much. Thalia nodded and slap Grover upside the head, getting him out of his panic state.
Clarisse then spoke up. "Well, there is one option that we can do to speed up the process." Everyone, except Percy, know what option she's talking about. And Juniper doesn't like it.
"No, no!" Juniper said, gripping Grover's arm. The satyr looks a bit shaken. "I won't let you Grover."
"It may be the only way to find him quickly Juniper." Naruto said, leaning on a tree. The nymph glared at him, but he ignored it. "Pan can be anywhere in the country and those fat old goats only gave Grover a week to find him. He'll need to travel there in order to find Pan."
Grover gulped a little. "I'll have to think about it. But even with that, we don't know where to look."
"Um guys," Percy spoke up, causing heads to turn to him. "What are you talking about? Travel where?"
Naruto wondered if anyone tells him anything. "We'll tell you later Squid Head." Naruto said while Percy glowered at him for the nickname. "Right now, we all better get to our cabins. Inspections are starting and Silena is in charge of it this time."
Immediately, Percy paled and rush to his cabin like it was on fire, getting the others to chuckle. "I wonder how messy his room is." Annabeth said in amusement.
"Probably as messy as Hermes cabin." Thalia said with equal amusement. "Then again, maybe Tyson cleaned up the place."
"Maybe." Bianca added in. When Bianca and Thalia first met the Cyclops, the two freaked out. Bianca pulled out her bow while Thalia got out her spear. Luckily, Naruto managed to stop them and explain to them about what Tyson was doing at camp. It took a while for Thalia to warm up to the Cyclops, but after a stern talk from Naruto, she managed to become friends with him.
While the others began walking to their cabins, Naruto walked up to Bianca. "How are you doing Bianca?" Naruto asked in concern. Bianca knew what he was talking about. Ever since that mission to capture the son of Hecate, she couldn't be near any other guy with without flinching, except for Naruto. She's been doing better, but still felt uncomfortable with other guys at camp. Especially the Aphrodite boys.
"I'm getting better, but I still feel uncomfortable with guys. Especially when I'm alone with them." Bianca told him. "The only guys I'm comfortable being with are Chiron, you, and Percy; because I know none of you are bad."
Naruto gave her a comforting smile, before wrapping his arms around her shoulder. Bianca blushed at the contact, but didn't say anything. "Just know that I'm here for you. For anything, okay?"
Bianca gave Naruto a shy smile. "I will thank you Naruto." She is glad the blonde found her and Nico all those years ago. And glad he trained her since the day she discovered she's a demigod.
(Hephaestus Cabins)
Naruto separated from his friends and went back to his cabin. When he got in, he saw his siblings cleaning up their work stations while Charles was talking to Leo about the cabin and camp itself.
Charles and Leo turned to the door when they heard Naruto enter. "Naruto, you're back." Charles said, smiling at his older brother. "I was just telling Leo about the workshops here."
Naruto nodded, going his workshops and putting up his weapons. "Glad to hear." Naruto told him, organizing his stuff. "So what do you think of the place Leo?"
"It's awesome!" Leo exclaimed, pumping his fist. "The workshops, the weapons and all the hot ladies here! And the best part is that I can stay here all year long!" Naruto chuckled. He had a feeling Leo would love this place, especially with all the female demigods here. Naruto got to admit, all of the demigoddesses were very pretty and well developed, even Ares' daughters.
"Glad you like the camp." Naruto said, closing up the work stations. At his personal workshop, were his pistol and rifle (with bronze and imperial gold bullets respectively), his stealth chest-plate, his elemental hilt, his transforming weapon- Kasai, his endless bag of Greek fire grenades, and some brand new weapons.
A bronze trident for Percy, something that could help him easily control the water when need to. A shadow bow for Bianca, which could summon Stygian Iron arrows from the shadows when you pull it (He had some helps from Hades). A pair of dual knives for Silena, made of the Nemean Lion's claws so it could cut through anything. A full Greek armor made of the lion's fur coat, something that Clarisse would like. And finally, the kakutes. Four spiked rings for each hand and also spiked wrists. Usually, they are used to subdued enemies, but Naruto spiced it up with Ladon's poison he saved up. They can transform into regular rings and wristbands, so when he somehow loses his weapons, he can use these to surprise his enemies.
As he closed up his work station, a knock came from the cabin door. Naruto quickly got to the door, to see Silena standing there with a clipboard in her hands. She looked around the room before nodding approvingly. "Clean and tidy, just as usual."
Naruto lean back in his bed and smirk at her, causing her to blush a little. "We're Hephaestus kids, what do you expect? We are in charge of making and organizing weapons, so we have to be tidy with our workstations and personal things." She nodded, knowing that Naruto had a point.
"Well, I should go check the other cabins." Silena said, but before she closed the door, she turned to Naruto. "And Naruto, are we going to check how my skills are?"
Naruto gave her a thumbs up to that. "You know it. And I got some new weapons for you, so be prepared to receive it." Silena beamed at him before closing the door. Naruto then leaned back on his pillow. "I'm going to take a nap before dinner. Let me know when the horn is sounded." Charles nodded to him right as Naruto went to sleep.
Medalis giggled as she checked over her work station. "He must've had a busy day."
"No doubt about that, considering he's out like a light." Charles responded. He then noticed Leo staring at the door, with a dumb expression on his face. "Um, Leo, you okay bud?"
"She's….hot."
Many of the siblings had to stifle their chuckles at Leo's response, including Beckonderf. "Sorry bro, but someone else grabbed her heart. Any other guy that tried to date her ended up disappointed when she refused."
"Really?" Leo asked, getting out of his stupor. "Who's the lucky guy then?" Charles flicked his head towards a sleeping Naruto, making Leo drop his head. "I should've known. Blondie always get the chicks."
Nyssa laughed. "No doubt about that, almost every girl here, outside of this cabin and doesn't have a boyfriend, has a crush on him." Nyssa stated, getting Leo's mouth to drop in disbelief. "Not only that, but he has girls that genuinely have feelings for him, one of the more popular girls here at camp."
"Y-Y-You're serious." Leo stuttered, looking at Naruto. He narrowed his eyes at the whiskered blonde. Maybe Naruto could help get a girl….
He heard another of his siblings speak up. "Annabeth is one of those girls, a daughter of Athena. The others are Thalia, daughter of Zeus; Clarisse, daughter of Ares; and Bianca, daughters of Hades. All of them incredibly skilled and also really beautiful."
"We also heard rumors that the three virgin goddesses and a hunter of Artemis also have feelings for him." Another said. Leo's mouth eventually got to the ground at the news.
"Damn." Leo said, after a minute. "Blondie got some luck."
"No doubt." Charles replied. As all of them talked, none of them knew that Naruto was only half asleep. And that he heard everything from them.
And that's the end. I hope you guys liked the chapter. And what do you think of the last bit? Do you think it was unnecessary? And about adding more romantic, I'm not gonna try to squeeze it in. Just going to add some in when it felt needed, so it won't seem force.
Also, I read the reviews about Hera/Naruto. Looks like most of you wants Hera while only voiced their dislikes. I might do it, if I can fit it in without being forced. And there will always be flames, no matter what readers do, so I'm not going to let it bother me much. Most of you seem to like my story and for those that don't, well, what are you doing here then?
Also, here is the sneak peek on one of my future Walking Dead fanfic. Please give me your opinion on the reviews and give any suggestions, if you want.
S1 Episode 1
"So you're going to see the girl's family now?"
Rick look at his partner and best friend, Shane Walsh, when he heard him speak. He knew he was talking about Carl's babysitter and his girlfriend, Beth. "Yeah. She's gonna introduce me and Carl to them at the weekend."
"Wonder why she didn't introduce you sooner, after months of dating."
"Probably because I'm a thirty two year old dating an eighteen year old girl."
"Most likely." Shane responded with a chuckle. The two then sat in a comfortable silence, eating their lunch in the police cars.
Rick Grimes and Shane Walsh were police officers, partners, and best friends. They joined the police when they were in their twenties and been best friends since high school. The two are different in personality, Rick being a calm and think-things-through guy while Shane is a hot head and goes with his feelings, but even with their different personalities, they are like brothers to each other.
Recently, Rick has been dating a girl named Beth Greene. A blonde farmer girl with blue eyes. It started when Rick needed a nanny for his son, Carl, for when he's at work and when his ex-wife, Lori, is unavailable. She was living at her aunt's farm while going to a local college, looking for a job. Rick needed a nanny for Carl whenever he's at work, so when Beth find out about the job, she took it. A few weeks later, the two started dating.
They sat in silence for a few minutes, before Shane spoke. "Did you have another confrontation? With Lori?" Rick sighed at the question. He divorced Lori a year after he meet Beth and two years now. They divorced they argued (Well, Lori yells at him while Rick takes it) so much, that it wasn't healthy and after a while, Rick knew that they couldn't continue their marriage, even if he try so hard to be reasonable with her. They agreed for them for Rick to be the main caretaker for Carl while she has him on weekends, but recently, they've been arguing about Beth.
"She still doesn't accept the fact that I'm dating Beth." Rick told him. "I try to be reasonable, but every time I do, she just gets angrier. She thinks that it will affect Carl in a bad way, even though he loves Beth's company."
Rick bit his lip, remembering what she said yesterday. "She said….she said she wonder if I even care about Carl anymore. She said that, yesterday, in front of our kid. When I was about to pick him up from school. Imagine that in your mind while you are sleeping in your bad."
Shane was silent. He didn't really know what to say about that, what advice to give his friend. Before either of the two could speak, they heard the radio calling about a police chase of two suspects nearby. The two of them quickly put up their lunch, with Shane throwing it in the trash as Rick drives.
The police chase ended with Rick getting a bullet in the chest.
So what do you guys think, for those who watch the Walking Dead and/or read the fanfics? Please give me your opinion on the reviews. And one more thing- Review, favorite, and follow and I will see you later.
