"Naruto" Speech.

'Naruto" Thought.

"Katon" Jutsu/Technique/Demon talking.

Naruto woke up with a killer headache, he sat up on the bed and massaged his forehead. Then the memories of last night came rushing to him, his parents were gods, Greek Gods more specifically. He then noticed black hair tressed over his bed, he looked side ways to see the same woman resting her head on the side of the bed. He recognised her she was his 'mother', he gently and slowly got off the bed, not wanting to wake up her. He walked out of the room and started wandering around the street. The place was beautiful, no doubt about it, with mountain peaks covered in snow, huge palaces clinging to the mountains, and clouds hovering above them.

Naruto wandered through the market as he saw people selling swords and shields. In another part of the market, there were young teenage girls with green skin. They would shyly look at him with a dreamy expression, and some drool would come out of their mouths freaking him out. This reminded Naruto of his fangirl club back in Konoha after he defeated Pein. They would stalk him all day long with the same expression. Naruto shuddered and increased his pace. He walked to the edge of Olympus, his eyes widened as he realised just how high he was above the ground.

He was so mesmerised by the beautiful scenery that he didn't notice someone standing beside him. "Beautiful isn't it" a voice said behind him, he turned around to see the grey eyes of the woman he saw in the Throne Room. She gave him a curious look, her black hair swaying slightly to the side. "Yes, it is" replied Naruto. "Are you a Shinobi?" She asked curiously. "Hmm…Why do you ask?" Naruto asked raising an eyebrow at the question, 'does Shinobi does not exist around here'. "I noticed the way you dress, your weapons, and your defensive stance whenever you feel threatened."she said.

"Hmm…well miss I don't think we properly introduced ourselves". Naruto said. She blinked rapidly for a few moments, before she extended her right hand "Right…I am Athena, the eldest daughter of Zeus. I am the Goddess of Wisdom, Strategy, Arts, Crafts and Battles." Naruto took notice 'daughter of Zeus' part and grasped her hand firmly before replying " I am Uzumaki Naruto, ex-Anbu Captain and Rokudaime Hokage Of Konohagakure no Sato".

Athena's eyes lit up with curiosity as she leaned forward. "Can you tell me more about your village?" she asked eagerly. Naruto seeing no harm in it, he told her about his village. How the village was founded by the First Hokage along with the Uchiha Clan Leader, how the ninja village works and the different ranks of ninja in the force. Athena was astounded at the stories he told her. She couldn't believe the village was founded only by two leaders. She was impressed with Hashirama's hard-work and vigour, but the naivety he had for Madara slightly disappointed her. She believed that Madara needed to be watched 24x7 which would have saved them from Madara's betrayal. She nodded approvingly at Tobirama's observation skills and the precautions he took regarding him.

Athena was further amazed when Naruto described the battle between Hashirama and Madara. Controlling wood was one of the most dangerous abilities out there, just like her aunt Demeter did whenever she got into it. Madara's visual prowess slightly scared her because eyes that could predict her next move was not something she wanted to face in a fight.

"Can you tell me more about the Gods in this realm, Athena?" Naruto asked her as it was very bad for any ninja to not know his surroundings.

"Sure, well there are the big three," she began, "Zeus, your father, is the Lord of the Sky, God of Honour, Justice, Rain, Sky, and Lightning, as well as the King of Olympus. Next is your Uncle Poseidon. She said the name with venom, and although he raised an eyebrow in response, he remained silent. "He is the God of the Sea, Storms, Earthquakes, Droughts, Floods, Soil, and Horses; King of Atlantis; The Earthshaker; The Stormbringer…." "And finally eldest of the all.. Hades, God of the dead and Wealth; Lord of the Underworld though he does not have a seat in the Olympus, he only comes here during the Winter Solstice or any any emergency meeting". Naruto also raised his eyebrow at that, realising that his uncle did not have a seat on Olympus.

"After them come the younger Gods, Hephaestus, God of Fire, Forges, Sculpture, Metalworking, Stone Masonry, Carpenters, Metallurgy, Artisans, and Volcanoes; Lord of Craftsmen and Smiths, Blacksmith of the Gods, he is your full-blood brother".

"After him is Hermes, God of Messengers, Travellers, and Thieves; God of Roads and Merchants, Trade and Sports and Border Crossings; The Messenger of the Gods".

"Next we have Apollo God of Archery and Healing, Music and Poetry, Prophecy, Light, Art, and Oracles; The God of Sun".

"Ares is the God of War, Violence, Battle-lust and Rage he is also your full-blood brother". 'Why do I have feeling me an Ares are not going to be the best brothers around here?' thought Naruto.

"And Finally we have Dionysus, God of the Vine, Grape, Harvest, Winemaking, Wine, Madness, Religious Ecstasy; Theatre Director of Camp Half-Blood and Member of the Council of Cloven Elders". 'Camp Half-Blood' Naruto raised an eyebrow at that.

"As for the goddesses, you already know your mother Hera - the goddess of marriage, home, and family the queen of heaven, and the goddess of childbirth; The Queen of Olympus".

"Next is your aunt Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, fertility, sacred laws, harvest, and seasons".

"The next one is your half-sister Artemis. She is the goddess of the hunt, wilderness, chastity and maidenhood; also the Goddess of the moon, forests, hills, and archery"

"Next is Aphrodite" she said with a slightly disappointed tone. "She is the goddess of love, beauty, lust and sexuality, desire and pleasure."

"And the last one is Hestia, your aunt," she said fondly. It was no secret that all Olympians, except Ares, cared for her. "Like Hades, she doesn't have a throne. She sits at the sacred hearth tending the flame all the time. She is the goddess of the hearth, home, and family." He smiled slightly at that. At least they have a family goddess.

"I like the last one, though," she raised an eyebrow."And why is that?". "Family," he said with conviction in his tone. Seeing her confused look, he explained, "Family is important to a Shinobi because of our dirty work, it haunts you throughout your life. Family, friends, and comrades will help you cope through it. Once you put the headband your age doesn't matter, you can drink, kill and have sex; having a someone saves you from getting lost". Athena nodded at that logic. Sometimes even adults have traumatic events about their work that make them quit the military. With this ninja law they have, they could cope with it.

"And besides, family is something I treasure the most," he said firmly and softly at the same time, and it was true. He didn't have a family when he was a child.

"That is a very good ideal, Naruto," a melodious voice said behind him. He turned and saw an eight-year-old girl with warm and cozy red flame eyes staring at him with adoration. She smiled at him warmly, which made him smile back at her slightly. "Aunt Hestia, what can I help you?" he said softly to her. Hestia smiled warmly at him for a moment. "Your mother has been searching for you all over Olympus. I think it's better for you to come to Hera's temple before she tasks a search party," she chuckled along with him. "Alright, lead the way, Aunt."

Throne Room

"MY BABY"

As soon as Hera saw her son walking in with Hestia and Athena, she lunged at him and held him tightly, afraid that if she let him go now, he would disappear again. Tears of happiness cascaded down her face as she held her son. "Hey...mom" Naruto son said somewhat reluctantly. She understood why he hesitated to say that, but that didn't mean it didn't hurt. "Yes...yes, my baby boy. It's your mother," she backed away slightly to put her hand on his cheek, staring at him with love and adoration. Zeus came forward and patted his son's shoulder gently as he smiled at him. "Hey dad," he said as his father smiled softly at him. "Welcome to Olympus, my son," his father said before he hugged both his mother and him in a family embrace. Hestia smiled happily at the scene. She was happy because her brother and sister reunited with their son. She couldn't wait to talk about family with her nephew.

Hera's Temple

Naruto sat on the chair beside his mother and father as he told them about his life - how he became a genin, who his sensei was, and how the village treated him. His mother cooked her special homemade ramen for dinner, which was the best ramen he has ever tasted. While his parents smiled at him the whole time, in their minds, they were furious at the village's treatment of their son. Zeus shook his head at Kakashi's neglect of Naruto's training for the Uchiha during the Chunin Exams, while Hera snarled at that. It took all of their willpower not to go to the village and bring it down to dust. After dinner, he went to sleep in the room his mother had prepared for him. The room had a cozy feeling to it, and he slumped on his bed, tired from all the talking with his parents.

Mindscape

Naruto stood on the grassy ground of his mindscape, looking around. His mindscape had changed - no longer was it the sewer with drained pipes, but it had been replaced with a big forest and every tailed-beat has their own little terrains, but for now they were sleeping after the whole War façade.

"I have been waiting for you," a raspy voice spoke behind him, and Naruto turned around so fast it could make Hiraishin look like a ninja's play. He saw an old man with a kama using it like a cane. His body was old and puny, with white spiky waist-length hair and a bang of hair that covered the right side of his face. Naruto's eyes widened.

"Madara," Naruto hissed loudly as he took a fighting stance.

"Please, Uzumaki, hear me out first," wheezed out Madara.

"Why should I do that?" Naruto growled at him. Madara was the reason for all the problems in the elemental nations. If he had just died at the valley at the end, things would have gone peacefully.

"Then listen," Madara said before he quickly explained, seeing Naruto's demonic rage. "I am dying, Uzumaki. After I became Kaguya's vessel, I saw everything Black Zetsu did. He is the one who killed my brother Izuna and manipulated both the Uchiha and the Senju clan to battle each other. I was blinded in my brother's death to see that which eventually led to my eternal doom.I am supposed to be dead right now."

"Then why are you here?" Naruto demanded.

"Your grandparents sent me here to train you as a way to atone for my sins," Madara confessed. Naruto's eyes widened. His grandmother and grandfather sent Madara here to train him.

"So, Naruto, will you accept my training?" Madara requested, almost pleadingly.

Naruto said nothing as he pondered this. It would be good to learn new techniques as he only knew various forms of Rasengan, but on the other hand, he would be learning under a man who had killed many of his friends.

Pondering on the situation for a few moments he looked at Madara in the eye with fierce determination.

"When do we start?"
