Chapter 8

Hey guys, I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year. Also I hope you all are still liking the story that I am writing for all of you. Now without any further delay, here is the newest chapter.

Now usually Shikamaru wouldn't allow himself to caught, but right now he lacked information about this new world. Even though he can't understand them or anything around him. Shikamaru was already picking up a few things from them and also was taking notice of all possible escape routes that he had around him, which has a lot he noticed. He saw a lot of buildings that each had a marble statue of either a man or a woman that looked powerful in their own right. All the people here wear all wearing either normal clothes or had on what looked like a toga wrapped around them. Though all of them had their shields and swords on them as well. Shikamaru was reaching for another cigarette before a hand shot out and grabbed his wrist. He looked to see a boy shaking his head at him. Shikamaru raised an eye brow and just flipped his hand out of the boy's grip and pulled out his cigarette pack and took out his last cigarette. The boy just shook his head and went back leading them to them a giant dome looking temple.

"Hmm should I stay or just head back home or should I just escape through the front door and explore the world. Hmm decisions. Decisions." Shikamaru thought to himself as they entered the temple.

There were ten people there and they were all arguing about something. Most likely about him. He was brought to the center of the room and he was looking around at each of them. He sighed to himself as each of the people were saying something that he didn't understand. He listened to their gibberish that was clearly about them talking about him and what they should do about him.

"He must be executed!" Said a boy that was using a knife in one hand to point at Shikamaru.

"Why are you already pushing for execution if he hasn't been given a chance to explain himself?" Challenged a girl that was wearing a purple toga with golden medals on it.

"Why give him the chance, it that could be what he is looking for so he can assassinate us all in this room." The boy said.

"This is so troublesome; I wonder how Naruto is doing?" Shikamaru thought to himself as he just laid down on the floor and closed his eyes as the people in the room ignored him and continued arguing.

Camp Half-blood

In the Greek camp, Naruto was currently following a horse guy and Percy towards the big house. When Naruto jumped down from his hiding spot in the tree, Percy groaned as he saw him and Chiron just raised an eyebrow at him. Naruto quickly introduced himself and told Percy to translated for him. Naruto left out the part on who is parents are seeing that it would be a good surprise for everyone to see who his parents are.

As the three of them were heading towards the big house, campers were talking and whispering among themselves as they saw Naruto walking with them. Percy couldn't hear them correctly, but with Naruto's enhanced hearing form his years of training he could hear them perfectly. Sure he couldn't understand them, but he was giving weird looks as the girls, more noticeable from the older looking ones were pointing and blushing a little at him. Leave it to Naruto to be a widowed man and still not understand that girls like the way he looks.

"Percy, seeing as our…guest is unable to speak or understand him and you are the only one that does, I am going to place you as his translator till such time when he learns our language." Chiron said as they got close to the big house.

"Wait why do I have to do it? I bet wise girl can do it better than I can." Percy said not wanting to get stuck with the job.

"Can Annabeth actually speak Mr. Uzumaki's language?" Chiron asked as he raised an eyebrow at Percy.

Percy shook his head as he felt the weight of defeat fall upon him. Chiron didn't say anything as he opened the door to the big house and motioned them in. Percy and Naruto walked in as Chiron followed them in behind them. The first person they saw was a man that was sleeping on a couch. The person was wearing a blue swimming trunks and an unbutton bright blue Hawaiian shirt. He also had some blond hair but it looked more bleached than anything. Naruto took a closer look and saw that there were hundreds of small slits littering his body. Percy told him not to worry about him as he is a friend. Naruto shrugged and just went to get something to drink.

"So Mr. Uzumaki, first I would like to welcome you to our camp. Seeing as you are able to get in I will safely assume that you are a demigod." Chiron started and pointed at Percy to translate for him.

Naruto listened to Percy and Naruto nodded to Percy signaling that he understood him. Naruto said something to Percy to tell Chiron. Percy had to stifle a laugh before turning back to Chiron.

"Well, what did he say?" Chiron asked.

"He said and I quote so don't get mad at me, 'Tell the weird looking horse guy to hold his hooves as I make a universal seal so that I can understand everyone.'" Percy told Chiron.

"…I'm not weird looking am I Percy?" Chiron asked with a raised eyebrow." Also, what does he mean seal?"

Percy didn't answer as Naruto pulled out his trusty ink brush and he pulled up the sleeve of his left arm. Chiron and Percy both watched Naruto draw symbols on his forearm. Chiron looked at Percy with the look of 'explain'. Percy just shrugged and told Chiron not to worry. The both of them stayed silent as Naruto continued drawing on his forearm. When he finished he made a hand seal and channeled chakra to the ink. Chiron raised his eye brow higher as he saw the ink glow for a bit before disappearing into his skin. Naruto looked at the both of them and smiled. Naruto waved over at Percy to come towards him. Percy walked up to him.

"Yes Naruto?" Percy asked in his language.

"You and that horse guy just keep talking in your language. The seal needs you guys talking in your language for a few seconds to be complete in translating everything." Naruto said as he was fixing his sleeve.

Percy nodded and was about to go talk to Chiron when he heard a thump and a quiet speaking coming from the door. Chiron went to the door and opened it. He stepped to the side as he saw Annabeth and Grover fall through the doorway. Percy shook his head at his friends but helped them up.

"So wise girl, Grover, what were you guys up to listening in on us?" Percy asked them.

"Well Annabeth here wanted to know who were you guys bringing into the big house." Grover told him as he dusted off his goat legs.

"I wonder if goat legs taste good…" Kurama said in his mind.

"Not now Kurama, I need them to talk for a few more second." Naruto told him.

"I see that Miss. Chase and Mr. Underwood also want to meet the new camper that has joined us." Chiron said as he went to go get a cup of coffee. "Would any of you like a cup of tea? I'm sure that our esteemed camp director, Mr. D is going to be here soon."

The three kids shuddered at that. Naruto looked at them confused as he watched them. He was starting to understand them, but he noticed that his seal wasn't as effective as he thought and was only able to listen to them but was in broken sentences and wasn't able to talk to them yet. So he was hoping when he was able to listen to them perfectly that he will have the ability to communicate with them.

"Does Mr. D have to come back, can't he just like you know stay up there for a while longer?" Percy asked. He doesn't really like Mr. D so much as he does with Chiron.

"Now Percy, don't be like that. Mr. D is a great camp director. Don't you two agree, Miss. Chase, Mr. Underwood?" Chiron asked them.

Grover and Annabeth both just nodded to Chiron while internally the both of them were furiously shaking their heads no. Percy nodded quickly as Chiron turned to look at him with his smile. Naruto was snickering as he watched this. It reminded him of when Sakura was asking him and Sasuke about something that he couldn't remember. But he did remember the strange eerie purple glow that was appeared around her and having that creepy cheerful smile.

"Anyways, seaweed brain who is this?" Annabeth asked Percy.

"Annabeth meet Naruto, he's from the different dimension that I went to." Percy told her.

Percy sweat dropped as he saw his friend quickly appeared in front of Naruto with her eyes looking like stars as she was firing of question after question at Naruto. As for Naruto, he had no idea what she was saying as the speed she was shooting off the questions was making his head hurt as the seal continued to work out everything they were saying. Percy had to pry her off Naruto as he was noticing that Naruto had a twitching eyebrow and in one of his hands was a kunai.

"Percy why did you do that? I was asking important questions!" Annabeth said as she got Percy off him.

"Yes I can see that, but in case you didn't know he doesn't understand what you or any of us are saying." Percy pointed out to her.

"Actually I do for the most part, but I just can't speak just quite yet. Though with her rapidly asking me questions it should help speed up the process." Naruto thought to himself.

Chiron smoothed out his vest and polo shirt he was wearing at the moment as he handed Grover a cup of hot tea. The two of them watch as Percy and Annabeth started arguing about why whether or not they should ask Naruto more questions as Naruto was still sitting on the ground watching everyone. Naruto yawned and stood up. He stretched his back before he walked over to where Grover and Chiron were and stood with them. Chiron offered him a cup of coffee and nodded his head in thanks. Naruto nudged Grover with his arm and pointed at the arguing kids with a looked that asked 'this happen often?'. Grover just nodded and the three of them just took a sip from their drinks. Though Naruto made a face with his. He looked to Chiron who just simply pointed to were the sugar and creamers were. Naruto nodded in thanks and added the appropriate amount to his coffee and took a tasting sip. Naruto sighed in content and went back watching the kids argue. Naruto had to admit though, the two of them look like they would make a great couple. Naruto sipped his coffee again and then it hit him. Where did Shikamaru end up? Naruto pulled up his right arm and started channeling chakra to it and a seal appeared. Naruto was hoping he wrote the reverse summon seal on him correct or Shika might end up in a different place…again.

With Shikamaru

We now find our shadow user in chains and sitting in a cell after the people were done arguing about him. Shikamaru was yawning when he saw a guard coming towards his cell with a tray of food consisting of bread, water and a small slice of meat for him. The guard opened his cell door and placed the tray of food on the floor before closing and locking the door. Shikamaru waved him off and yawned. He watched the guard leave him alone in his cell. When the guard left, Shikamaru stood up and popped his neck as he walked calmly towards the cell door. He looked around him to see if there any guards nearby. When he was sure, he commanded his shadow to start lock picking the door. He stood there calmly before he heard the click of the door. He pushed it gently letting it swing open. He started to walk out of his cell when he felt a pulling force all over his body. He looked at his arm to see the seal appearing and he shrugged. Shikamaru turned is head lazily when he heard the clattering of armor. He just saw the head of the spear appear at the end of the hall way before his vision was covered by a cloud of smoke.

With Naruto

Percy and Annabeth were winding down on their argument whiles Grover and Chiron were talking about a quest that would be possible for Grover and Naruto had put his sleeve back into place when the room was filled with smoke. Immediately Percy had drawn riptide, Annabeth had her knife at the ready, Grover brought out his pipe reed and Chiron had his bow drawn at the ready. Naruto used some of his wind chakra to blow away the smoke to reveal Shikamaru looking around lazily. Shikamaru noticed Naruto and waved at him.

"I was wondering when you were going to get me." Shikamaru said as he walked up to Naruto. "Was beginning to think that you forgot about the reversal seal."

"Hehe yeah about that…" Naruto started.

"You did didn't you?" Shikamaru said with a dead pan expression on his face.

Naruto didn't say anything. Shikamaru shook his head as he made his shadow take the chains off his wrists. The two demi-gods, the satyr and the centaur were all staring at the two ninja in silence. Shikamaru looked at them without a care in the world.

"Hey I'm going to watch the clouds pass by, you know how to get me if you need anything." Shikamaru told Naruto as he was heading out of the house. He turned his head to look at Naruto to say one last thing. "Don't need me."

With that, Shikamaru disappeared in a burst of speed that none of the occupants in the room except for Naruto could see.

"Ugh he's here to? Great just great…" Percy mumbled to himself.

"What was that?" Grover asked him.

"Nothing at all." Percy responded. He turned to look at Naruto. "So you able to talk with us yet?"

Naruto stay silent for a few minutes before he was engulfed in smoke. When the smoke cleared, Naruto was replaced with an exact replica of Percy smirking a them. Chiron and the rest of the people in the room had their jaws drop to the floor.

"What do you think boy?" Naruto said in Percy's voice.

"Oh my god, that is so cool!" Annabeth said with stars in her eyes. "How are you able to do it? Are you the only one able to do that? Is it possible to replicate the action? Also where are you from? Wait never mind that, Percy told us that already. What is it like over there? Do you guys have demi-gods as well? Also what does that symbol on your headband mean? Another thing…"

"Whoa slow down their girl." Naruto said as he turned back to his original self.

"Well then, first I would like to welcome you to Camp half-blood. I am Chiron, the camps activities director. I am sure you have a lot of questions…"

"Eh, not really. I got the gist of it from ocean boy over here." Naruto said.

"I know this will be hard to believe what I'm about, wait what?" Chiron said as he was going through the whole welcome routine when he realized what Naruto said. "Mind telling me how you got the 'gist of it' as you say?"

"Yeah sure, I mean I got most of the information from when Percy and these two glowing people came over to my dimension and tried to take me back here by force." Naruto said casually.

"Wait back up, you mean to tell me you fought Percy and to gods and lived?" Annabeth said. She looked at Percy. "Is that true?"

"Yup." Was all Percy said.

"I call bullshit." She responded.

"Language." Chiron said as he simply took a sip from his coffee.

"it's true though. Anyways I still need stuff to be explained like what exactly is a half-blood, are there any cool monsters or people to fight that could give me a challenge and is it possible to challenge your so called gods that came to my dimension for a spar every now and then?" Naruto asked casually as he looked at them.

Percy covered his eyes as he shook his head, Grover had his jaw still on the ground and Annabeth was sputtering and trying to say that its suicide to fight a god and that no mortal is able to fight them and win. Chiron for his part was chuckling to himself and thinking about all the possibilities that Naruto brings to the camp. Though he made a note that Naruto's parent hasn't been reviled yet. Oh the look on their faces when his parents reveal themselves. Before he could ask something else there was a loud boom coming from the outside.

Chiron had quickly put his cup down on the table and went outside to see what the commotion was. Percy and the rest of them soon followed Chiron to see what was going on. All the campers were gathering towards were the loud thundering sound was coming from. A massive group of the campers were on the training field looking into the distance to see a metallic looking thing was ramming against an invisible shield. Chiron was reassuring the campers that they are safe as barrier was keeping the metallic thing out. Naruto stood straighter as he heard another loud bang he and Percy were the only ones to notice and turned towards the sound and saw that it was coming from the front entrance. Percy had gathered his friends and some of the older campers and took them to the entrance of the camp. Naruto watched them leave before he turns his attention to the other metal object hitting the barrier. Naruto narrowed his eyes and channeled some of Kurama's chakra into his eyes. His pupils turned into slits as his eyesight enhanced as he saw that the object clearly now. It was a bronze mechanical bull that was ramming its horns against barrier.

Naruto stopped the flow of chakra to his eyes as he told Chiron to warn the campers to get ready as the barrier is about to go down. Chiron took out his horn and blew it causing all the campers jump up and get their weapons at the ready. Naruto stood there with his arms crossed as he watched the campers scramble to take up weapons and some of the older ones leading the young ones to safety. Naruto didn't even turn around when Shikamaru appear behind him from raising out of his shadow.

"Shikamaru, let's not help them at first…" Naruto said as he watched the barrier fell after the last hit from the bull.

"And your reason for this is?" Shikamaru asked as he scratched his head lazily.

"because I want to see how Percy handles this when he's not against an impossible opponent." Naruto said as he crossed his arms.

Shikamaru didn't say anything as the two shinobi watch as the campers were all working together somewhat as they were fighting the bronze mechanical bull. Naruto frowned as he saw a girl that was holding a spear yelling at other campers. He also saw her telling other campers to stand back. He shook his head at that. From a person who was taught that teamwork was important, seeing her forcing the campers away already placed her in a bad light to Naruto.

"If that is the case I'm going back to my spot on the hill. If there is trouble, don't call me unless it's really necessary. Ja ne." Shikamaru said before disappearing.

Naruto chuckled to himself as he watched the girl tried to fight the bull herself. He wasn't even surprised that she was losing her ground against it. Although it looked like she had everything under control, Naruto knew better. Naruto turned to see Percy and his friends were struggling with the other bronze bull. He noticed that Percy was channeling the water nearby and blasting the bull with it. Annabeth was observing from afar while using a bow to shoot at the joints to slow it down or jam the gears.

Naruto watched Percy dodge out of the way when the bull rushed him. Naruto did raise an eyebrow as he saw a camper grab the two horns and stopped the charge. He continues to watch as the bulls mouth opened up and it started shooting stream of fire at the camper.

"Hmm seems like the kid there is fireproof…" Naruto thought as he watched the kid come out unscratched.

"Just as about fire resistant as you are. Though he doesn't lose as many clothes as you did seeing as his are still intact." Kurama stated in Naruto's mindscape, his tails waving lazily behind him.

"Shush you lazy kitsune. Go back to your nap or something." Naruto said to him before watching Percy throw his sword into the bull causing him to jam as it tried to shift into a different weapon. A few seconds before it exploded. Percy was on the ground sitting up against a wall as he was holding on to his stomach. Naruto saw Annabeth run off to get something for Percy.

Seeing as that was over, Naruto turned to look at to how the girl was doing. Not surprised that she was in trouble as she was slowly backing up her weapon gone from her hands. Naruto was about to intervene before he saw the bull stop and look at his direction. The bull started to charge right at him while his mouth was open with the flame thrower at the ready. Naruto crossed his arms as he watched the bull charge right at him. The other campers that were close by him were already running away from the bull and telling Naruto to run to safety.

"So are you actually going to do anything or are you going to just doge it and let the other newbies handle it?" Kurama asked him.

"Hmm, I feel like I should do something but at the same time I don't want to reveal my abilities yet. Decisions…decisions." Naruto thought to himself as the bull continue to charge at him.

Out in the distance, Chiron was barking orders to the campers and shooting out arrows as more monsters were coming through the hole that the bulls made. Chiron had ordered Percy to take a few of the older campers that were still able to fight to go with him and take out the monsters that were getting through. The shield was slowly starting to close in on itself but there were still monsters getting through. Naruto started to casually walk towards Chiron. When he got to him he waved.

"Yo, this seems horrible." Naruto said sarcastically.

"Naruto, this is not the best time to joke. Do you know how to fight with a weapon?" Chiron asked as he fired another arrow killing another monster. Naruto noticed that the monsters dissolved into gold dust when they are killed.

"Hn, does this blond idiot know how to fight." Kurama snorted in Naruto's head.

"Well I mean I know how to kind of fight..." Naruto said as he scratched his cheek slightly.

"Here." Chiron said as he tossed Naruto a sword that he had on him.

Naruto casually caught the sword and looked at it. What it was Chiron's personal sword. It was a Xiphos. It was about 55 cm long and was completely made out of celestial bronze. There were some Greek symbols engraved into it that he didn't know what they meant. Naruto pretended to hold the blade wrong and took a couple of practice swings on it. Chiron was about to say something but he was soon tackled to the ground by a hell hound. It was trying to bite off Chiron's head but was being held back by the bow that Chiron was using. The hell hound was about to take a mighty bite to break the bow before it yelped in pain and disappeared into gold dust. Naruto held a hand out for Chiron to grab. Charon took his hand and helped himself up as he drew another arrow from the quiver strapped to his back while looking towards the monsters that were left.

"Naruto I need you to help the campers defend the camp. I already have Percy fighting the remaining monsters that got in. I need you to stop the bull that is still running around." Chiron said to him.

Chiron didn't hear Naruto respond and he turned back around to see him already gone. Chiron sighed feeling like this will be happening often and went back shooting arrows and killing the monsters.

Naruto was as of now just casually walking as he was now expertly swinging the sword killing the monsters that ran at him instantly with one swing. The campers that were nearby him were following him behind him and covering him from any monster that would try to sneak up behind him. Naruto stopped his walk as he saw the Mechanical bull slide right in front of him in a ready stance to charge him. The campers behind him had their weapons at the ready but Naruto had a smirk on his face. He stabbed the sword into the ground and he started rolling his right shoulder to loosen it up. All the campers were looking at him as though he was crazy. They weren't wrong though; he is kind of crazy.

Both the bull and Naruto were charging at each other. The bull's horns were lowered enough that they would be able to impale Naruto in the chest. Naruto raised his bandaged covered fist and had it reared back ready to strike the bull. As the two got close, the bull slowed itself down by straighten its legs and dug them into the ground. Naruto not stopping his speed he jumped into the air. The bull was already in starting to shift the placement of his body parts. Naruto watch the bulls head follow his flight through the air till his whole body had flipped to face him. But when the bulls head had set itself into position, Naruto's fist was already about to hit it. When the fist connected, it had caused a loud crushing sound as Naruto's fist had gone through the bull's head. A loud screeching could be heard as the mechanisms inside the bull tried to shift itself but couldn't. Naruto looked at his fist seeing the head of the bull still on it. He whipped his arm to the side to get the head dislodged and he had a satisfied smile as he watched the rest of the bull explode right in front of him.

"Ah, nothing better than a good explosion to your face am I right?" He asked no one in particular.

Naruto turned to see that the campers all around him had their jaws dropped to the ground. The last of the monsters had already been disintegrated into golden dust. Naruto just looked at everyone in confusion before he saw a golden light shoot down next to him. Naruto covered his eyes from the dust that was flying around.

When the light died down, it reviled a chubby man that had black curly hair that looked unkempt. He also had a red nose on his face and his eyes looked blood shot. A clear sign that he has been drinking. He was wearing a tiger stripped Hawaiian shirt with a white shirt underneath. He had some purple cargo shorts and purple running shoes as well. In his left hand he was loosely holding a can of diet coke. The person was looking around to the camp in disarray.

"Well this all looks horrible." He said sarcastically as he took a swing from his coke can.

"Ah Mr. D, you have finally return. Though it seems that you have missed the fight." Chiron said as he and a couple of campers were walking towards him.

"And for that I am gratefully content with." He responded. "So do you mind telling me what caused all this?"

"Sure, campers I want all of you to help fix and clean up the mess that the monsters have caused here. Percy why don't you also come with us so we can get you some ambrosia and some nectar in you." Chiron told him as he was putting his bow over his shoulder.

Percy just nodded as he limped behind Mr. D and Chiron as the rest of the campers were starting to fix the buildings that got damaged during the whole thing. Naruto looked around as he kicked a few planks of wood to clear a path before he started to follow Chiron to the big house as well. Naruto noticed that a lot of the campers were pointing at him and were whispering to one another at what they saw. Naruto ignored all of them as he kept walking. Naruto caught up to Chiron and his little group and they all continued walking in silence. When they got there, Chiron opened the door and quickly ushered the group in.

As the door closed Mr. D leaned up against a counter as he opened his can of Diet Pepsi and took a swing from it. Chiron got the first aid kit and was starting to bandage up Percy who was sitting up on the couch. Naruto popped his neck and gave a satisfied sigh. Soon enough, Percy was patched up and eating a piece of Ambrosia.

"So, mind telling me what happened here while I was away for the council meeting?" Mr. D asked as he continued drinking his diet Pepsi.

Chiron started explaining what happened here. Mr. D, Naruto plopped down next to Percy and the two of them started talking about how they dealt with the bull. Percy wasn't even surprised at what happened with Naruto. After fighting shinobi, Percy learned very quickly that they are like cheat books. It's just not fair. It took a few minutes for Chiron to explain to Mr. D what happened.

"And that is about it." Chiron said as he was getting a cup to get himself some fresh coffee as his last cup was lukewarm at best. "Also, Mr. D meet…"

"Naruto Uzumaki, yes I know him. All of Olympus knows of him." Mr. D said. "Tell me Nathan- "

"Naruto." Naruto corrected.

"Whatever, do you know how much your godly parent is worried about you?" Mr. D finished.

"Yeah I can imagine. It's not like they can stop me." Naruto responded casually.

"No, I don't think they can, not one on one at least." Mr. D said. "Still, you should really go see them to at least show that you are alright."

"Wait, you know who his godly parent is?" Chiron asked Mr. D.

"Yes I do and no I'm not going to tell you. It would be more fun to see the look on your faces to see just who claims him." Mr. D said while taking a sip form his Pepsi.

Chiron shook his head and looked at Naruto and Percy. "I am also taking a guess that the two of you know as well?" When he saw them nod he just sighed.

"I wonder why you haven't been claimed yet though Ned." Mr. D said.

"It's Naruto." Naruto corrected.

"Whatever." Mr. D responded before he went to the fridge to get another diet Pepsi.

Naruto rolled his eyes before he stood up and stretched his back.

"Well, since the excitement is over, we have to figure out what caused the shield to weaken enough for those bulls to get through." Chiron said as he turned to look at them and started sipping his coffee.

"I know who did this…" Percy said quietly.

"What was that Percy, I didn't catch what you said." Chiron said.

"I said I know who did this." Percy said more loudly.

"Oh and tell me Mr. Peter…"

"Percy." Percy said with an annoyed tone.

"Whatever. Anyways, tells us what you know." Mr. D said.

"It was Luke sir." Percy said. "it was him that got the monsters into the camp."

"Did he tell you why he was doing this?" Chiron asked with his full attention on Percy.

"He said he wanted to recruit me to his group. He was trying to convince me that the gods should be over thrown and new blood should take control. It was very weird." Percy said. "He also told me how he got the monsters in the camp. Though you aren't going to like it."

"Well tell us anyways as knowing everything will help us do what is needed to do next." Chiron told him.

"Well, he said that he- "Percy started before the door slammed opened.

Everyone in the room turned to the door to see an out of breath Annabeth at the door.

"All of you have to see this, especially you Mr. D." Annabeth said.

Everyone in the room all looked at each other before they followed her. The group arrived at the very edge of the camps boarder were they saw already a group of campers gathered around a pine tree that looked like it was dying. The campers were all murmuring to each other about what they think has happened to the tree. Annabeth had picked up a fallen pine life and she watch as a little of the leaf fell apart.

"That's what he did." Percy said quietly to Mr. D and Chiron. "He poisoned Thalia's tree…"

The two directors didn't say anything. Mr. D walked to were the barrier should be and placed his hand against the barrier itself. He felt the resistance from the barrier at first, but when he tried to push through with a small amount of strength, his hand had passed right through the barrier and saw it fall to pieces before reforming itself again. Mr. D looked at his hand as he flexed it slightly before turning to face the campers.

"Campers return to your cabins. Chiron and I have a lot to talk about some information that we have discovered." Mr. D said loudly.

The big group of campers was slowly breaking apart till only the directors, Percy, Annabeth and Naruto were left in the area.

"Hey Annabeth." Naruto said to get her attention.

"Yes Naruto and when were you able to understand us now?" Annabeth said as she tucked away her piece of pine life away.

"Just recently and why did Percy call that tree Thalia's tree?" Naruto asked. He noticed that Annabeth had a sad look fall on her face.

"There is a story behind that actually." She said to him.

Naruto walked to the nearest stump and stat down on it. He waved for her to sit next to her. She hesitated for a second before she went over to Naruto and sat next to him. Naruto didn't need to say anything but he nodded to Annabeth giving her the signal that he was just going to listen. Annabeth took a deep breath before she started telling him the story of how she got to camp half-blood when she was young and how she was also with a young Luke and a girl named Thalia. She told hi mon how she ran away from her mortal family and ran into Luke and Thalia. She also told him on how she met Grover and how the three of them were on the run for a few months making hide outs and fighting monsters along the way. She finished her story on how meeting the cyclops and running towards the camp had caused Thalia to sacrifice herself to give Luke Grover and her enough time to get in safely into the camp and how Zeus turned her body into a tree that would protect the camp from monsters.

When she was finishing her story, Annabeth has starting to have a small tear form in her eyes. Naruto saw this and had his arms out showing her that he was ready to give her a hug. She wiped her eyes quickly and shook her head to him but have him an appreciated smile. She stood off and silently started to head back to her cabin. She said bye to Percy before she was back into the camp.

Naruto stood up and looked at the tree. He placed a hand under his chin as he was looked up at the tree.

"Kurama…" Naruto said on the link to Kurama.

"I know what you are thinking, and it might work." Kurama said back.

Naruto nodded before he started to gather the nature energy around him. One second later, Naruto had orange markings around his eyes and his eyes themselves turned yellow and had a single horizontal bar as the pupil that looked like a toad's eye. Chiron and Mr. D both turned to look at Naruto as they felt this massive shift of power around them flow straight towards Naruto and felt the power just radiate off him. The compared the power as though he had become nature itself. The feeling of peace and tranquility and also the feeling of power were radiating off him.

"Naruto…what did you do?" Chiron asked cautiously. That much power in one demi-god was not natural. He felt as though he could fight off a high class monster easily.

Mr. D didn't say anything as he was trying to figure out as to how Naruto did this and how much of a threat he is right now.

"Oh this? I just gathered the nature energy around me to get into sage mode. Though the nature energy here in this world is not as abundant as it is in my world. It feels more polluted and angered for some reason." Naruto said casually as he walked towards the tree.

"Wait you are a sage?" Chiron asked in surprised.

Naruto didn't answer as he stopped right in front of the tree and he placed a hand on his. He closed his eyes and sent a small amount of nature energy into the tree to see if anything would happen. At first nothing happened. Kurama was also seeing if he could feel or hear anything as well. Naruto stood there for a good few seconds before letting out a sigh. He reopened his eyes and let the nature energy release into the world around him.

"Well that didn't work. Though I didn't expect much." Naruto thought to himself.

"Mr. Uzumaki, what were you doing might I ask?" Chiron asked him.

"I was seeing if I absorb some nature energy and put some in the tree, I wondered if anything would happen. But as you can see, nothing did happen." Naruto said. "Now what are you guys going to do now?"

"Right now we need to make a guard schedule made up soon seeing as the barrier isn't good enough anymore, and second figure out how to heal the tree. Mr. D shall we head back to the big house to discuss this?" Chiron said.

Mr. D nodded and the two directors of the camp started heading towards the big house again. Naruto for his part signaled Shikamaru and waited a few seconds for him to appear. Naruto turned when he felt the chakra signature of Shikamaru appeared behind him.

"So Shikamaru what did you think about what happened earlier?" Naruto asked him in their native language.

"I thought it was troublesome really." Shikamaru responded.

"So what do you want to do now, because I feel like exploring more of this world."Naruto asked him.

"You know I want to learn more about the other camp that I was in though I couldn't understand a word they were saying about me." Shikamaru said as he scratched the back of his head.

"Here." Naruto held out a seal towards Shika.

Shikamaru nodded in thanks and pocked the seal. Shika was about to say something before turned his head slightly to look to the side and saw really big dog slowly creeping up towards them. Shika raised an eyebrow at it as he heard it growl. Naruto just yawned and turned around. The dog saw that and leaped into the air towards Naruto. Naruto didn't even turn around as Shikamaru appeared right behind him facing the huge dog. Shika lazily threw a kunai lodged right between the eyes of the dog. The dog started disintegrated into gold dust as it fell to the ground. Shikamaru picked up his kunai and started to walk behind Naruto. The two shinobi continued to walk in silence as they headed to the camp.

Naruto stopped them as he felt power emerge behind him. Him and Shikamaru turned to see that a man dressed in a business suit with a red tie. He had black hair that was combed back with a trimmed black beard. The man had electric blue eyes that if one looked close enough had lightning bolts in them.

"Naruto my son." The man started.

"Who are you?" Naruto said as he turned to face the man ready to attack if the man tried anything.

"Oh wait you wouldn't recognize me in my mortal form like this here let fix this." The man said as he morphed into the appearance of Minato Namikaze. "Now you recognize me?"

"Yeah, you have the appearance of my dead dad and my supposed "real and alive" father." Naruto said as he turned around.

"Son…" Zeus started.

"Can you…just leave me be for now. I already made my peace with my dad during the war. So if you are really my father, please turn back to your true form and let me be. I just…don't want to be around you and my "mother" for a bit." Naruto said with his back still turned.

Shikamaru didn't say anything as he watched Zeus turn back to his suit appearance. Zeus's face had a sad expression on his face. Zeus pulled a coin out of his pocket and tossed it to Shikamaru who caught it easily. Shikamaru examined the coin as he saw that on one side had a picture of a sword as the other side had a shield on it.

"Give it to my son, it is a magical item that when it lands on one side it will transform to the image that it lands on. It might not seem much but it is something that I wanted him to have since he is my son. I just hope he forgives me and his mother." Zeus said to Shikamaru before he left in a massive bolt of lightning.

Shikamaru turned to face Naruto and handed him the coin. Naruto didn't say anything as he pocketed the coin for the time being. Naruto told Shikamaru to come with him to go talk with the directors to see if they can help them in planning on what to do. Shikamaru nodded and the two of them disappeared in a poof a smoke. Naruto hoped that they would be some help in getting the tree healed up so the camp was protected again.

"You think they will ask us to help them? Were technically not campers here." Naruto asked Kurama.

"What's the worst that could happen?" Kurama responded with a smirk.

"You just said that to fuck with me didn't you?" Naruto asked with a deadpanned voice.

"Yup." Kurama said cheeky before cutting off the connection.

Naruto sighed at that. Well he can't say that this will be boring now can he? Maybe going to the other camp that Shikamaru came from would prove just that.
