Hello readers and welcome to my new chapter. Sorry for taking way too a long of time to start this. I was planning to do this a couple of weeks ago, but I was focused on my other stories. Still, I'm not abandoning this story, especially since I got so many plans for it and since there's a reading for it to. So, here you go. Sorry if the chapter isn't so long for you guys, but if I tried to make it longer, that means all of you would have to wait longer. So, enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Percy Jackson.

Chapter 19: Family Reunion

Somehow, Kiba and Akamaru (Transformed as Kiba) manage to get behind Piper, with a kunai in their hand. Many of the demigods now noticed, but before any of them could yell a warning, Kiba beat them to it. "You're mine!"

"No!"

The sound of a blade ripping flesh came into everyone's ears. But it wasn't Piper who was hurt. It was Kiba and his hound.

Naruto manage to use hiraishin just in time to get in front of Kiba and Akamaru, and save Piper. But in order to stop them from killing him and Piper, he turned his Kasai into his signature axe and sank both ends of the blade into their chests.

The two looked at Naruto in shock. The boy looked at them both in equal shock. All around, the demigods and shinobi were looking at the two. Hana, Hinata, and Shino were the most shocked out of everyone.

Naruto continue staring at the dying Inuzuka's eyes before looking away. "I'm sorry." Naruto said softly, his voice slightly cracking, before he pulled out the axe from their chests. The two slowly fell onto the ground as they gave their last breath.

(Present)

Soon after, Reyna ordered the Roman demigods to take the shinobis in the barracks, except for Anko. They quickly did what they were ordered to do, with Naruto and Anko putting chakra suppressors on the unconscious ninjas. The legionnaires tried to take Anko as well, but Naruto stopped and reassured them that she isn't a threat.

The scary look on her face, while not helping his words, did help make a majority back off and focus on the others.

While all this is happening, Naruto's feeling a mix of emotions. Even though Kiba attacked his group, he still considered the hothead and his hound a friend. That the fact that he killed a friend….shook him greatly.

Despite that, he didn't let it show. He's good at disguising his emotions in front of everyone around him. As he led his team and Anko to Jason and Reyna, who are making sure that the shinobis are being put in the barracks, Piper spoke up. "Thank you for saving me Naruto." Piper said quietly. "I didn't know what would happen if you didn't."

Naruto turn his head to the back, smiling softly at Naruto. "No problem Piper. I couldn't let you get hurt." What also shook Naruto is that he didn't regret what he did. He did it to protect his friend, one of his sister figures, so he couldn't feel any regret. Not one bit.

Soon, he got to the two Praetors, the both of them smiling at Naruto. "Naruto, it's good to see you again." Reyna said, smiling a little. Jason nodded in agreement.

"Same to you Rey-chan. Jason." Naruto replied back, nodding to the two of them. "How Camp Jupiter been doing since my last visit?"

"Our soldiers our getting stronger thanks to you." Jason told him. "Every barrack is now equal in strength after your last visit." Naruto nodded in approval. Naruto then felt Thalia grab his elbow, silently pleading with him to let her talk with Jason.

He took a quick glance and nod to her, before turning back to the praetors. "Reyna, do you mind if I borrow Jason for a few minutes?" Reyna looks a bit disappointed that they can't talk more, but nodded.

Thalia would've notice, if not for the fact that her eyes are focus on her most likely long lost brother.

"You can talk to him. In the meantime, I'll make sure the prisoners are properly secured. Alive and well." She frowned at the last part. "I still understand why you want that, considering they attacked us."

"I got several reasons, which I will explain later." Naruto perform a few handsigns before a clone is made beside him. "Go with Reyna. I want you to talk with the prisoners."

"Kay boss." The clone said, knowing what the original want to talk about with them. With that, Reyna and the clone Naruto left, leaving Jason, Naruto, Thalia, Piper, Leo, and Anko by themselves.

"...Naruto….i-is that's….?" Thalia try to asked, but failed. She doesn't really know what the say right now, and her mind is really jumbled up.

Naruto nodded to her before looking at Jason. "Jason, remember when I promised you that you will meet your sister once again?"

"How could I forget when you swore on the River Styx?" Several eyes widen at this, especially Thalia's. Jason then noticed Thalia starting, with unshed tears, and it suddenly clicked. "Wait….Naruto, is that-?"

"Jason, meet Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus." Naruto introduced. He then turned to Thalia. "Thalia, say hello to your long lost brother, Jason Grace."

Jason and Thalia silently looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Finally, Thalia made the first move and crashed into him, wrapping her arms around tightly with tears falling down her cheek. "You're alive." She whispered, still crying. She kept repeating those same two words several times.

Jason, who was at first overwhelmed at the news, finally hugged her back, tears starting to form in his own. "Y-Yeah. I'm alive."

While that is happening, Leo, Naruto, Piper, and Anko watches the touching moment between the two. "This is a really touching scene." Piper commented with a smile, her inner Aphrodite (Which she will venomously deny having), squealing at what she's saying.

"Better than me and the gaki's reunion." Anko agreed. Naruto snorted at that.

"I think we can both agreed that a majority of reunion could beat your mother trying to force back in a village."

"Point there sochi."

Before he could say anything else, Thalia suddenly tackled him, wrapping her arms as tightly as she did with Jason. "Thank you Naruto." She croaked out, a few stray tears still coming out. "Thank you so much." Naruto smile and hugged her tightly.

"It's not a problem Thalia." Naruto said softly. "There's one thing I know about myself, is that I refuse to see family be apart."

(Barracks)

Soon, Naruto got his clone memories of his clone about the imprisonment of his former comrades, as well as the rock and cloud nins. The memories he saw showed that Reyna tried to get information out of them, but none of the shinobi are budging. He also saw the reaction of Hana when she saw Kiba and Akamaru's dead body when she woken up.

Remembering her reaction made Naruto stay away from the barracks, not wanting to see the grief and betrayal on her face. But Naruto Uzumaki isn't a coward, and he ain't gonna run away now.

Currently, he, Leo, Piper, and Anko are going to the barracks to assist Reyna. Thalia and Jason, meanwhile, stayed behind to catch up with each other again. "I hope Kurenai, Yugao, and Hana doesn't take it personal." Anko sighed as they got to the door of the barracks.

"You weren't the one who killed Kiba." Naruto said back, some guilt escaping from his tone. Anko looked at him in concern before putting a hand on his shoulder, silently telling him that it's alright.

Naruto gave a half-hearted smile in thanks before going in. Once they got into the barracks, they saw a very annoyed Reyna and two stoic guards. "I take it you have a problem Reyna?" Naruto commented in amusement.

"The prisoners refuse to give us any info of their mission." Reyna said with a scowl, looking very much like an angry fourteen year old girl. "I'm real close to using torture to get what we want!"

"Their shinobis. What did you expect?" Naruto deadpan. "Their as discipline as roman soldiers. And torture isn't gonna do anything either. They are trained not to give information that could harm their village or the mission itself, no matter what's happening to them."

"Then what do suggest we do?" Reyna asked. Then she noticed Anko. "Can she tell us anything?"

Naruto turned to Anko, silently asking that. The snake user sighed. "I can tell you some, but not much." Anko answered. "Hinata and I never really got full details about what would happen. I can see why now."

"We don't blame for your choice Anko." Kurenai said, with Yugao nodding in agreement. "We understand why you did it. And we also understand why Kiba was killed."

Hana interrupted with a growl. "Says you Kurenai! But right now, I want to rip Naruto apart!" She roared, making Naruto flinch. The roman guards, meanwhile, tensed and grab a hold of their weapons.

"Relax. They can't harm us while in those cells and binds." Reyna ordered. The two demigods complied with her orders and relax their guard. "Is there any other suggestion Naruto?"

"Well, I got one." Naruto said before looking at Piper. "Piper, mind asking one of the thickheaded rock shinobi their full mission?"

"What? Me?"

"Fuck you Namikaze!"

"While you're pretty, I rather take a pass on that." Naruto retorted, getting a snicker from Leo, a slight blush from Piper, cracks of smiles from the guards, and a frown from Reyna. "As for why Piper, you do remember your ability right?"

Piper blinked before slapping forehead. "Oh right. Charmspeak." She muttered before going in front of Kurotsuchi and putting on a sweet smile. "If you mind, what is your mission here?"

"Capture Naruto Namikaze, any of his comrades with him, and bring him back to the village." Kurotsuchi answered unhesitantly, much to the shock of her fellow shinobi and the other nins. "Torture him and/or his comrades to find out what he knows about his allies, take their blood to get their abilities, get him reveal the locations of our jinchuurikis, and publicly execute him."

The nins were shock that Kurotsuchi would reveal info like that, that easily, while the demigods are furious at what they heard. Naruto, however, smirked at Kurotsuchi, who's currently looking like a fish out of water. "Yeah, people been trying to kill me my whole life. I ain't dead yet." He then turned to Piper. "And thanks Pipes. You made things a whole lot easier." Piper beam a little at that.

"How did she do that?" Samui demanded. A ability like that, without the use of jutsus, is dangerous.

Naruto snorted. "Like I'm gonna tell you." Naruto stated to her. "And if you're thinking that it's a type a genjutsu that you can resist, rethink that. Her ability works on nearly anyone."

"Bullshit." Karui stated in anger. "We cloud shinobi would never give up information to the likes of-"

"Piper? Will you please?"

"What is your plan?"

"Same plan as the Rock Village, but we get the blood while they get to execute him." Karui spoke, shocking Omoi and Samui.

"Karui! Do you realize what you've done?" Omoi exclaimed as his teammate got out of her daze. He moaned. "Great. Lord Raikage is gonna kill us. Or he's gonna torture us. Or make us listen to one of B's CDs and-"

"Omoi, be quiet." Samui deadpanned. Omoi quickly kept quiet at Samui's orders.

Most of the leaf shinobi, meanwhile, is suddenly either kinda glad or really glad that Naruto defeated them. Especially Hinata. If they would've won, the rock and cloud might've pulled a fast one and take Naruto away quickly.

"Great. Now we got what we wanted." Naruto said with a grin. "Now, while I implement the next part of your mission, you guys just wait here and get comfortable."

"Are you sure it's not a good idea to execute them?" Reyna questioned, glaring at the shinobi. "I know half of them are your former comrades and friends Naruto, but if they get their hands on you, you will either be executed or imprisoned in their villages." Despite her firm tone, Naruto can hear the concern in her voice. Those who known Reyna for a long time can pick it out.

Naruto nodded. "Yes, I need them alive. It's not just because of how I feel about them, but if I want to complete my mission, I need them alive."

"What is your mission anyway?"

"I'll tell you soon." Naruto said back. He then walk over to the cell Hana is hold up in, causing the Inuzuka girl to glare at him. "...I'm not gonna say sorry. I know that's not gonna bring him back, and you know me enough to know I didn't enjoy that."

Naruto gulped, knowing his next words will probably set Hana off. "...And I don't regret killing him. He was gonna kill Piper. I couldn't let him harm one of my precious people."

Naruto waited for Hana to say something. For her to either blow up at him or maybe say she understands. In a few seconds of silence, Naruto thought she wasn't gonna say anything and turn to the exit. He went a few steps towards it when Hana's voice stopped him. "Is Kiba not considering one of your precious people? He isn't a friend to you anymore?"

Hana slowly stood up, grabbing one of the bars tightly. "Are none of us in the village considered people you cared about anymore? You decided to abandon your friends for the ones you made?"

That struck Naruto deeply. Right in the heart. Hana smiled bitterly. "You always talk saying that those who abandon their friends or comrades are worse than trash. What do you think you're doing now? Leaving the village in poverty, with your friends in it?"

Naruto's hands are shaking now. His eyes are wide and it looks close to hyperventilating. Anko, who noticed his state along with Piper, Reyna, and Leo, spoke up quickly. "Come on Naruto." Anko said, grabbing his hand. "We got enough info right now." With that, Anko pulled Naruto out of the barracks before Hana could say any more.

(With Thalia and Jason)

Thalia whistled at what Jason told her. "Damn. Your training regime is more stricter than ours." Thalia commented. The two siblings have been talking a lot, from what they've been doing in their individual camps to training regimes they went through. As they talk, they walk around the camp, with Jason telling her about different things about it.

"Yeah, they are." Jason said in agreement. "We Romans have been very strict when it comes to anything. Naruto just made it stricter and harder, while making sure we relax most of the other things. Because of him, deaths and failed quest decreased dramatically, and each cohort being on par with each other." Thalia chuckled at that.

"Sounds like him alright. He did the same for my camp." Thalia said. She then gain a curious look. "How did the two of you meet anyway?"

Jason smiled, remembering the memory. "First time I saw him, he introduce himself as their new instructor. He met Lupa and met some of the roman demigods before us, and from what I've heard, he talked about the camp and it's system. From a request from his father, he decided to help us out. Train the cohorts until all of us equal one another. And then monitor us once a month to make sure we don't get rusty."

"Let me guess, hellish training?" Thalia questioned rhetorically when he saw Jason shiver a little.

"The worst. Not even Reyna, my fellow praetor, doesn't have that bad a training regime. Though most of the training she came up with came from Naruto." Jason said.

"By the way, how did you became a leader of this camp anyway?" Thalia asked. "I would think a group older teens wouldn't listen to a fifteen year old."

"Yeah. But most of the people here are not that older than me." Jason said, chuckling a little. "Like I said, Naruto made sure we got to our fullest and he brought out a lot in me. That training earn my first quest, along with the title of praetor of few months back. He also made me, Reyna, and few selected others full fledged shinobis."

Thalia smiled. "Sounds like we got the same experience Jason." Thalia said. "Me and a couple of others became full fledged shinobis while everyone else got a mix of that and greek training." She sighed and look up the sky. "Naruto has done a lot for us haven't done?" He nodded in agreement.

"More than any of us does for him." Jason verbally agreed. He looked down. "He always does thing for romans without a second thought. Some of us don't even deserve his kindness. Gods know we've done a lot against the greeks."

After a moment, his head got back up. "I just want to pay him back for everything he's done for us." Thalia look at her brother for a moment before grabbing his hand, grabbing his hand.

"We can be there for him." Thalia said softly. Whenever he's in danger, whenever he need people at his side, we be at his side."

Jason looked at her for a moment before smiling and nodding in agreement. "Yeah. We can do that and more."

Finally, the two of them stop talking and walked in a leisure silence, enjoying the fact that they're with each other again. Even though Thalia said that being with him will be enough, she also feels like she need to pay Naruto back somehow. He manage to take her to her brother, to see him alive once again. That's a debt she's not sure she could repay.

But she can very well try to.
