Hunter's Light

by Vizard890

While those Half-Bloods are fighting in their silly little war for honor and glory; there are thing waiting and watching for their chance to strike. Waiting for the perfect chance to strike since the darkness is growing stronger. But there is a hunter that is willing to sink into the darkness and hunt them inside the very darkness they call home.

2. New Moon

Disclaimer: I don't won Naruto or Percy Jackson and Olympians or the Heroes of Olympus

"Talking!"

'Thinking!'

"Jutsu! Summons! Monsters!"

New Moon

Tsunade and Shizune stop what they are doing as they waited for Naruto to say his answer, but didn't get to become a plum of smoke fills the room. Coughing as the smoke disappears to reveal Jiraiya standing on top of one of his toad striking a pose.

"The Great Jiraiya is here!" said man wipes his ponytail around because throwing out his hand as small fireworks go off

Growling at her old teammate for doing something so stupid in such a small room and even having fireworks going off inside a hospital, "JIRAIYA!" Tsunade punches Jiraiya's jaw forcing to fly through the wall.

Several Anbu look through the new hole in the wall to find their Hokage's fist smoking from the force of her punch. They didn't stick around and quickly got Jiraiya. The Anbu bring Jiraiya back with his jaw swollen. The toad that Jiraiya summoned stares at its summoner before turning to its newest summoner.

"I will take my leave, Naruto-sama," said the toad before disappearing in a plume of smoke

Groaning in pain, "Why did you have to hit me so hard, Tsunade-hime?" rubbing his throbbing jaw

"Pussy!" insulting Jiraiya without a care in the world, "That's what you get for doing something stupid like that inside a hospital! Seriously! Who lights fireworks inside a hospital where there is oxygen?"

"I just wanted to make an appearance for my student…" appearing in a corner with a rain cloud of his head, "I came over here to tell him that I will be taking on a two year training trip,"

"I hate to break it to you, Jiraiya, but things just changed,"

"What?" quickly jumping and appearing right in Tsunde's face, "What do you mean things changed? I had everything all sent! First I would start out by making his Taijutsu better, then work on his Chakra Control, all the while teaching him to take over my spy network one day!"

"Things just changed, Jiraiya. Artemis-sama has returned."

Then Jiraiya does something that no one thought the old pervert would do. Screaming like a little girl and jumps out the window. Tsunade, Shizune, Naruto, and the two Anbu blink at the broken window. The thought of Jiraiya said to be the strongest of the Sannin screamed like a little girl and jumped out of the window was something no one was expecting.

"Anyway…" says Naruto catching Tsunade and Shizune's attention, "I will be going with Deadbeat Mom,"

Sweat dropping at Naruto's rude nickname, "May I ask why?" the busty Hokage asked since she wanted to know what the knucklehead is thinking

"While I was sitting here… I've been thinking and…" gripping his bedsheets tightly, "I always wanted to become the Hokage so that people would look at me and won't say terrible things about me to my face or behind my back. Yet after losing to Sasuke… I don't have a right to become Hokage if I couldn't even save one of my friends."

Tsunade stays silent as that isn't true. All the Hokages before her has lost something that was too much to bare. Her Grandfather, Hashirama couldn't stop his long time rival and friend from going rogue and attacking the village. Or how her Grand Uncle Tobirama sacrificed his own life to save his students during the Second Shinobi War. Or with Hiruzen didn't see that his student Orochimaru was swallowed up by the darkness. And finally how Minato had the shortest run as Hokage before giving his life to protect the village from the Kyubi thirteen years ago. The road to becoming a Kage in any village is a road full of hardship with death as the foundation.

"Naruto… Going just because you couldn't protect one friend isn't the way to do it. There is more then just being the strongest to become Hokage. One has to be smart, one has to know when to fight, one has to know when to quit, and one has to know oneself," explains the busty blonde

"I know that, but I don't even know myself…" Naruto looks up to the woman who he saw as a grandmother, "How can I grow when I don't even know if I'm doing the right thing?"

"Because no one knows. If everyone had the right answer to everything, then the world would be a much better place," Tsunade walks over to Naruto and gives him a hug, "Whatever you choose to do I'll be there right behind you one hundred percent of the way!"

Nodding his head, "I have decided that I'll go with Deadbeat Mom and learn more around the world. Just like you said the Hokage has to be smart, right?" Naruto's infamous smile comes about, "Then there is no better way then to travel and learn how the world truly is!" jumping out of the bed, "I'll be the greatest Hokage because I would have traveled the world and saw many great things that made me great too!"

Shizune claps her hands as Naruto starts to jump up and down on the bed. Of course Tsunade is happy that Naruto has made up his mind. Yes, she is sad that her favorite blonde will be leaving; that doesn't mean he'll be leaving forever. Seeing enough of Naruto jumping on the bed hits him nowhere as hard as she did with Jiraiya to make him stop jumping on the bed.

"Why did you hit me?" cried out Naruto as he nurses his head

"I let you jumped on the bed long enough, brat!" she's just couldn't lose her smile, "And I did say to take it easy! I'll have the paperwork written for you to be discharged from the hospital. I'll also have paperwork filled away saying that you can leave Konoha for a few years that you're going on a training trip. Though you were going with Jiraiya because he wanted to teach you a few more things,"

"That old perv probably just wanted to take my to a few whore houses!" says the blonde while crossing his arms

"That's a loaded question if I ever heard one. Anyway! Start packing for your trip with your mother and have everything all set when you leave."

-Naruto's Apartment-

Standing in the middle of his apartment looking at everything with a bag sitting next to him. Shortly after coming home Naruto started to pack what he may need and take what he is of value to him. There really isn't that much he has of value to take with him. The one thing that the blonde is worried about is his plants. Naruto has a few plants that he takes care of and he doesn't want to just leave them and they wither away.

"Hmm… should I take them with me?" Naruto asks himself out loud

"Why don't you just give them to someone you know who'll take care of them?" asked Jiraiya

Of course Naruto is taken by surprised by this as he jumped up towards the ceiling and used his Chakra to stick to said ceiling, "Ero Sannin!"

"I really hate that nickname!" cried out the Toad Sage

"Why are you here?" asked Naruto after he drops down from the ceiling, "Here to take my money again?"

"No, not this time. I hear that your mother is here and is planning to take you away," Jiraiya looks at his apprentice, "Are you sure about this?"

Looking down at his own feet, "I have too. There is so much that I need to learn and to grow stronger. Maybe I can learn something if I go with Deadbeat Mom," Naruto then looks up to Jiraiya, "I've made my decision,"

"What about your dream to become Hokage?"

"It's not like I'm going to stay away forever!" really people, "I'll becoming back to be the greatest Hokage!"

"What about Sasuke?" asking the one question that need to be asked since Naruto's relationship with Sasuke is very seemlier Jiraiya and Orochimaru, "Are you going to bring him back?"

Naruto thinks long and hard on this as he still wants to keep his promise to Sakura only to make sure he can face his crimes, "Yes, Sasuke has to come back to face his crimes for abandoning the village,"

"That's all I'd wanted to hear. Though I did wish you would come with me to train because I wanted to make you my successor of my spy network,"

"And go around to every whorehouse? No thanks!"

"You don't understand now, but you'll understand when you have a woman in your bed,"

"He better not!" this time is was Jiraiya's turn to jump and cling to the ceiling with his Chakra

"Art- Artemis! It's so good to see you after so many years!"

"Jiraiya… you better not be trying to turn my son into a pervert," the Moon Goddess's eyebrow twitches

"W- W- Who me?" asking innocently, "I would never do such a thing! I didn't turn Minato into a pervert!"

"That doesn't mean you didn't tried…" Artemis says while giving the old pervert a death glare, "So why are you here?"

"Well, I came here to see Naruto off! Why else would I'd be here?!" all the while patting Naruto on the back kind of hard, "I know how you don't like to be in one place for too long!"

"Right… Anyway, I need to talk to my son; alone,"

"Right, right! Naruto, if for any reason you wish to talk while you're gone just summon one of the Toads and they'll let me know." Jiraiya didn't wait for Naruto to reply before jumping out of the window.

Artemis and Naruto stand there in silence as this is the first time that both mother and son are alone together. Naruto doesn't want to be here right now as he wants to finishing going through everything and make sure that everything is in order. While Artemis doesn't know what to do since she had given birth thirteen years ago.

"So… Minato…" looking unconformable, "That's the name of the Yondaime,"

"M- Minato is a common name!" which it is true since Minato is a very popular name in all of Konoha because he was the Yondaime

"But this was before the Yondaime became the Hokage. I know that the Yondaime is my father,"

"B- B- But how do you know that!?" Artemis starts to panic since Naruto wasn't suppose to know til he was older

"There aren't that mean blonds in Konoha for one. The Yamanaka Clan are the only blonds even in Konoha. I've been in the Hokage's Office more times then I can count and I memorized all of the Hokage pictures that are hanging up on the walls. The Yondaime has the same shade of blonde hair that I do and I have the same eye color too,"

"W- why haven't you said anything yet?"

"Because I didn't want too. I've seen how my friend Konohamaru is the grandson to Old Man Hokage, and everyone treated him differently. I didn't want that so I didn't say anything,"

"But Tsunade told me that you wanted people to see you and know that you are there," Artemis heard how Narutp pulled pranks on the whole village with her son painting the Hokage Mountain was his latest prank, "Why didn't you tell anyone?"

"I just said that I didn't want to be treated any different. And I remember from the few times that I was in the Academy that Iwa still hates the Yondaime. So I don't think they'll be too happy to know that he had a son."

From what Artemis is hearing her son, Naruto isn't stupid which isn't what she first heard. Tsunade told her that Naruto was bash and jumped headfirst into anything and everything that he could do without thinking first. But from hearing Naruto knows when to keep quiet and knew to use his head when he was suppose to do. This shows her that her son is playing everyone and just don't want people know it.

'I guess fear can make people do some stupid things, and some pretty interesting things. I wonder what else my son can do that no one else knows?' thought the mother

"Is there anything else you want to ask me before we leave?" Artemis asks her son before leaving Konoha

"There are other things that I want to ask, but they can qait til a later time. So when do we leave?" Naruto asked

"We leave when ever you are ready,"

"Then I think I want to leave now. I don't want to say good bye to everyone; not now,"

"Alright, if that is your wish." Artemis takes hold of her son and teleports out of Naruto's apartment.

-Central City Park-

Mother and son teleport in the middle of Central City Park in New York City with a flash of moonlight. Since Naruto has never traveled that fast before he bends over and pukes what little is in his stomach.

"Don't worry it'll pass," says the Moon Goddess while rubbing his back, "Mortals never really travel that fast so their stomachs can't handle speeds without training,"

"Wh- Where are we…?" looking around all the while gasping for air

"This is Central City Park in New York City. This is where you'll be staying for the time being til the summer begins,"

"Why can't I be with you?" asking the million dollar question

"I can't stay with you because of the Ancient Laws,"

"Which are stupid!" cutting off his mother

"The Ancient Laws!" giving Naruto a tone to not interrupt her again, "The Ancient Laws make it so that Gods can't raise their children. And I don't think my Hunters will like to have a boy at the camp,"

"Sounds like their sexiest," making sure to mutter so that his mother doesn't hear him

"I'll have you enrolled into school because you have to be in school while you are here!"

That was one thing Artemis looked into while she was waiting for Naruto to be released from the hospital. His grades went that well, if fact he barely passed and he cut class almost every single day. While she can't be there and make him go to school; she wants to make sure that he relearns what he didn't learn from the Academy. Who knows, he might actually like school.

'Maybe he'll choose something better then being a Shinobi as a career choice?' thought the mother

'Fat chance that I'll like school. You may make me go but I'll never like that hellhole!' thought the blonde as if he knew what his mother was thinking.

oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

There was a few curve balls thrown their way. One being Naruto didn't know how to speak English. All the people in the Elemental Countries all spoke Japanese. Artemis knew how to speak and write Japanese because she lose a bet to Apollo and she had to learn it. Seeing as it would take too long for Naruto to learn to spoke English she cheated by using a coin that Athena made that allows anyone who swallows it to speak whatever language they wish. Writing said language will be more difficult, but with Naruto's stubbornest nature he won't quit til he mastered it.

Artemis bought Naruto a studio apartment not too far away from a school that would be perfect for Naruto. By using money that came from nowhere. She told the manager that her son will be living here when school isn't being held and she'll be gone most of the time because of business. But school won't start up for a week since Spring Break is taking place.

Sitting and staring at the window of his apartment as the people walk on the sidewalk going about their business. The cars coming and going to who knows where. Seeing a car for the first time was something new and truly exciting. The technology here is so much more advance. Yes, his old home had electricity and other things, but nothing compares to to his new place. Finally growing tired from just sitting and doing nothing Naruto leaves his apartment so that he could explore this new city.

oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Walking through the busy sidewalk passing by people that live in this city that are going to work, leaving from work, from people visiting friends and family, to those that are on vacation. Everything seem to be perfect, but the blonde knew otherwise that this is just the surface as there are things waiting and watching just under the surface. Things that these people wouldn't; couldn't believe existed.

That's when Naruto stopped walking to looking by popping his neck. For the past few minutes someone or something has been following him. The blonde can't tell what it is because the city is covering the smell and noise, but he can tell that something is following by the feeling from the back of his neck and left shoulder; as if someone is watching him. He wonders randomly through the streets still feeling as though someone or something is following him. Taking a right down an alleyway to stop and wait. The Son of Artemis doesn't know how long he waited for but the time came when he heard footsteps. Turning to face a man standing in front of him.

"Why are you following me?" Naruto asked

Grinning, "You smell so nicely! I never smelled something so great before! I wonder what you'll taste like!"

Taking a step back, "Great I get a manic that's been following me around! What do you mean that I smell?"

"I want you're flesh! Flesh! Flesh! Flesh! FLESH!" the man's eyes change as the white's of his eyes darken becoming black and his irses become blood red.

The man leap towards Naruto covering the distance between them very quickly. This surprises Naruto since he wasn't expecting someone here to move that quickly. This cost him as the man takes hold of the blonde's shoulders and sinks his teeth into his right shoulder. Acting on instincts Naruto knees the guy hard in the chest with enough force to break a rib or two. Gaining some distance from the mad man as he licks his lips from blood.

"It's… It's… It's so… GOOD! I NEVER HAD SOMETHING SO GOOD BEFORE!"

Holding his shoulder and trying to stop the bleeding, 'This isn't good! This guy is something else! Deadbeat Mom never said anything about man eating people!'

Naruto doesn't stay for long as he makes a run for it. He can hear the man give chase all the while screaming about wanting more divine flesh. Naruto quickly jumped to the side as something rips through the ground and into the wall. Turning to throw one of his few remaining kunai only for it to be blocked by some kind of blue tentacle. Turning on the balls of his feet and charges the man and leaps over said man. The blonde takes out two more kunai and drive them into the man's shoulders but the blue tentacle came up and hits Naruto into the wall. The blue tentacle didn't wait to wrap around Naruto with the pressure coming as the blue tentacle squeezes him.

"I can't wait to have more of your flesh!"

"Wh- What are you!?" coughed out Naruto

"I am a Ghoul!" answered the man, "I devour anything that smells good! I heard from rumors that New York had the best flesh to eat, but no other Ghoul comes thing way for some reason! All the more for me I say!"

"I think you done fucked up!"

"What do you say that?" bringing Naruto close

"Because of this!"

Naruto poofs in a cloud of smoke as another Naruto comes from behind and drives a full power Rasengan into the Ghoul. The Ghoul has never felt anything like this before in all of his life. His skin is harder then normal humans, so he shouldn't be able to feel this pain, but he is. The Rasengan grinds through the Ghoul forcing said Ghoul into the wall as the Rasengan kept on going through. Naruto knows what he's doing. This thing; this Ghoul wanted to devour him and how knows how many more people he devoured up to this point. Naruto knows what his Rasengan can do if he doesn't hold back which he does all the time, but this time? This time it is different. Different as this monster can't be allowed to live anymore.

Once his hand has gone all the way through the Ghoul who is dead now lets the monster fall to the ground. Staring down at his kill compels the blonde to take out one of his kunai. Kicking the Ghoul over onto his front, kneels down to lift up the Ghoul's shirt and lower the Ghoul's pants to drive the blade into the Ghoul's lower back where the tailbone is located. Cutting and curving through flesh and carefully taking out a glowing red sack.

Blinking a few times as though he is waking to only find his hands covered in blood and is holding a glowing red sack.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Naruto doesn't know what happened. One minute he is standing over the dead Ghoul, then the next he is holding a red glowing sack, "Where did this come from!? Why am I holding this thing!?" panicking Naruto leaps into the air and heads back to his apartment.

Shortly after Naruto left the scene the air become cold with a mist rolling through the covers the ground. Heavy hooves click and clap as a mighty black steed that is wearing thick and heavy white armor with a rider wearing thick and heavy white armor that is shaped like bones. The helmet more so with it looking like a skull.

Eying glowing a pale purple with a breath visible from the cold air, "So you have returned now haven't you, Guts?" looking over at the dead Ghoul, "You even have the same hatred as you did from back then," looking up at the sky to see the sun has been dyed red as though blood will rain down from it, "Will the God Hand finally be killed after like they should have been all thoughs millennium ago?" asked the rider to himself before fading as he came before.

-Yancy Academy-

Spring Break finished with Naruto never leaving his apartment after his run in with the Ghoul. He kept the red glowing sack and placed it in his fridge. Yancy Academy in Naruto's words a place that is for stupid rich kids that don't know any better. Things didn't go so well since some of the older kids decided to try and bully Naruto on his first day; which ended badly for them.

"Naruto, I have to ask; how come you beat the older kids up?" a kid asks who has dark hair and green eyes

"Because they should of know what they were getting themselves into when they bully other people. There are always stronger people out there. I just happened to be stronger then they were," making a face, "What was you name again?"

"Oh, Percy Jackson. I haven't been here for long. I don't think I will be here much longer anyway," says Percy

"Why's that?" Naruto asks while turning his head to the side

"Because me and school doesn't get along well with each other,"

"I never really liked school too!" smiling at the thought of a new friend, "So let's be friend!"

"Sure?" replied Percy.

-Unknown Location-

"So Hound was killed," says a voice in the darkness

"Really now?" another voice came out of the darkness, "So he bit more then he could eat! Where did he die at?"

"New York City,"

"What?" you can here the surprise in his voice, "Why in the world did he go through? The Greeks at there!"

"I know that, but he said he'd smelt something that he had to sink his teeth into. When he didn't return I had Rabbit go out and find out why. Do you know what he found?"

"Tell me. I want to know what could of killed him,"

"He was found dead with a hole in his chest and his Kagune cut out,"

"His Kagune was cut out? Did the Doves do it? Or was it another Ghoul that wants to become a Kakuja?"

"I don't think it would have been the Doves since they take the bodies. And I never heard of another Ghoul that just ate a Kegune and left the rest of the body. I'll have Jason go and look into and find out what really happened," stepping out of the darkness to reveal a woman that is wrapped up in bandages while wearing a purple cloak with a hood over her head, "For this is something that I have been waiting for!" a single eye changes with the white dying black and a crimson red taking the place of the eye color, "Aogiri Tree is going to be moving now!"
