A/N-please read the authors notes and sorry it took long Finals took a while considering my schedule, I know all of you can relate with me on this one. Okay lets starts.

Naruto and Moxxi decided to listen to some music on their individual IPods, letting the mother and son talk leisurely. The duo guessed that they wanted to talk more and discuss everything Percy had been doing in the last couple of months.
Every now and then, Naruto would glance back to check on them both to see how they were holding up. 'So far we haven't encountered any obstacles on our way,' the blonde thought as his senses had yet to pick up on any potential danger. But it didn't mean he would let his guard down and relax.
The blonde Jinchūriki had changed, and not just physically. He felt a bit more at peace in this world than back in the Elemental Nations. So much so that he dropped his mask of ignorance, allowing him to be his true self which he had only done in the presence of Lilith and her girls and anyone who he considered precious to him, but then again he didn't have people hunting him down, calling out for his death, and glaring at him with hate and disgust.
Naruto could only imagine the surprised looks from anyone who didn't know about his masks, his personas. Heck, they would probably think he's an imposter and ask what he did with the real Naruto they all knew. All he would tell them was that Naruto did not exist in the first place and all of it was an act of his, conjured up to fool anyone, to make them think that he was weak so they would drop their guard.
Deception is, after all, the bread and butter of every Shinobi and Kunoichi, not flashy Jutsu and moves. Something that seems to have been lost on the current generation of his back in the Elemental Nations as more and more Shinobi and Kunoichi favored flashy.
Perhaps the only person that agreed with Naruto was her. She understood the value of deception, the value of fooling your opponent, the value of using key strategies to finishing a mission or an opponent off, not just brute strength. Which is another reason the blonde fell in love her, aside from her bonus traits, such as her simple yet elegant beauty.
There is beauty in simplicity and she made it natural and, at the same time, difficult to obtain. It was something that first captivated Naruto. So much so that he thought she was an angel of sorts, hence his nickname for her, Tenshi-hime, when he first met her under the mist filled morning. Her face and gentle smile made his heart stop for just a second, making him think he died and she was here to take though him he was glad it wasn't his time.
When he first heard her speak, it was soft, innocent, and melodic. Something that most women he knew couldn't pull off, but she made it easy. It was like second nature to her. 'One of my fondest memories of her,' he thought, both in joy and sadness. He felt sadness because he couldn't see her and could hear her voice only in his bitter dreams.
"Sally, we are nearing Montauk, point me to where the cabin is," Naruto said. Percy's mom nodded and directed Naruto to a wooden cabin that was located right on the beach. The cabin looked a little old but seemed to be in decent condition.
The beach itself was very beautiful; from its white sands to clear blue ocean, and that sense of serenity. Naruto and Moxxi could understand why Percy and Sally loved the place so much.
"Sally, I'll have my clone carry the bags. Why don't you and Percy go and enjoy yourselves for a little while," Naruto said, knowing that this peace and quiet wouldn't last for very long. He wanted both of them to enjoy themselves before things go downhill. "I insist and I'll pay for the expenses," Naruto pressed as Sally was about to protest.
"Drop it Sally. Naruto is one of the most stubborn people I know, though his stubbornness is a trait all men seem to carry, even more so than us females," Moxxi said with a small teasing smile on her face as Naruto simply rolled his eyes.
"Besides I and, I'm sure, Grover here, want to explore this place. So would you kindly show me around?" Sally nodded and handed the key to the cabin to Naruto and gave a tour to Moxxi and Grover.
"You sense it my lord?"
Elysium's voice rang out from their connection. The blond mentally nodded, feeling the lingering energy that surrounded the place.
'Yes, it would seem that this is the place where both Sally and Percy's father met, and if my hunch is correct then my sea-green eyed friend is going to be involved in a lot of trouble.'
Naruto read up everything in regards to the Greeks, such as the Gods and Goddesses, the titans, and the beings before them, all to find out who his mother is.
"Did you guess who Percy's father is my lord," Inferno asked with a smirk on his flaming face. Both him and his sister know how sharp their master is and how easily he could perceive things. This just made their blonde master much more dangerous, since he could easily figure out any plans against him or if people are trying to deceive him.
'Yes, from what I gathered from observing Sally Jackson, this place holds more significance to her than just Percy. This place is where she met Percy's father and the lingering energy we felt surfaced from the water. The energy itself is similar to Percy.'
Naruto's mind was putting all the small puzzle pieces together, completing that mystery of who Percy's father was. His piercing cerulean blue eyes stared at his green-eyed friend.
'Percy's father is Poseidon, god of the sea, storms, earthquakes, droughts, floods and horses,' he finished.
The blondes mind raced at the possible enemies they'll encounter, places they could use as safe houses, and how much danger they are in. 'The only place that would be safe is the camp that Chiron told me about. The question is, would we make it? No, I'm positive we will. I'll make sure of it.' Naruto swore.
"And we'll be here to help with that, my lord." Both sentient spirits said dutifully, loyalty burning in their voices.
'It seems things are finally moving forward,' the nine-tailed demoness thought, She could only imagine the battles her container would face. 'Ohh, just imagining the blood that Naruto-kun would spill is making me horny. Hmm, I wonder though, would he usethat,' Kurumi hummed in thought of seeing that technique of her destined mate, making her shudder in anticipation.
It was one of the techniques Naruto developed during his training with Inferno, Elysium, and herself back in the Elemental Nations. It was a combination of the three energy; her Yōki, Elysium, and Inferno's energy, combine with his own unique chakra. But he has yet to fully master said technique.
It wasn't because Naruto wasn't training in mastering that technique. There are several factors preventing him from doing so.
One of those factors is the energy. Kurumi's Yin Yōki or chakra has yet to be fully restored, creating an imbalance between the three energies since the technique requires a level of balance between his and their energy.
Though he could use the technique, he can't use it to its full potential, making it incomplete from the desired result.
'And in addition to that problem, he wants to master using my Yōki. *sigh* I love him, I really do. But sometimes he can be annoying, surprising considering how level headed and calm he is.' That was the other reason.
Due to his condition, ADHD, her blonde would not take time to master just one technique. No, he prefers mastering almost all the techniques at his disposal. Sure he has shadow clones, but he would sometimes forget the value in the term one-step-at-a-time.
'Yet it hasn't become a problem for him, considering how perceptive he is to every little detail, such as in the bedroom.' The nine-tailed muse recalled her many activities with him, causing her to drool slightly.
In a way this was good, not the sex part, but his perception. It helps him in mastering multiple things at once, and this allows him to see or check every detail about the technique he's trying to master, such as its weaknesses, strengths, effectiveness, damage, advantages, disadvantages, ups, and its downs.
An example was when he developed one of his strongest Jutsu. TheFūton: Rasenshuriken/Wind Release: spiraling shuriken, a devastating technique that damages anyone who is unfortunate enough to get caught in it.
The technique creates countless microscopic wind-blades that severely damage the body on a cellular level. The wind-blades sever all nerve channels in the body, leaving the target unable to move after being struck. The damage cannot be repaired by any form of healing technique whatsoever.
The technique is an all range technique, after Naruto trained with it, making it a devastating technique on the battle field as it covers all ranges, hard to dodge since it can expand rapidly ensuring the target does not escape. The technique can also be use with his other elemental affinity for multiple usage and combos.
But the disadvantage of the technique it required a great deal of chakra to perform, and the limit in performing the technique, using his own chakra, can leave Naruto extremely fatigue. It requires a good deal more chakra to both create and then throw it and the technique damages his arm. So the technique is one of the main technique his trying to fully master and remove any sort of drawbacks 'well if can masterthatthen maybe he can remove some of its drawback and it could help him master my Yōki' Kurumi thought before closing her eyes for a beauty nap, hey she knows she's drop dead gorgeous and sexy, but there is a lot of difficulty in maintaining such appearance, so a nap here and there helps a lot.
After Naruto pay for the use of the cabin he observe as Moxxi and Sally were chatting, while Percy was on the off side and seems to be in deep thought 'that's not good' he thought before walking towards his friend.
"Penny for your thought" Naruto ask from behind, surprising the sea-green eyed teen
"Don't do that" he said a little annoyed and peeved.
"Sorry, but I couldn't help but notice you were in deep thought, what is it? What's bothering you Percy Jackson" of course Naruto knew what it could be but he wanted Percy to tell him himself, since this would tell if he trust him or not.
"You know what's bothering me don't act that you don't know" the black haired teen snap at the bond haired Jinchūriki, who remain calm as always "it's impossible, you of all people…what am I saying" Percy suddenly let out a hollowed chuckle.
"You're Naruto Uzumaki, someone who isn't bothered by everything" Naruto could see the stress that Percy build up over the month is finally surfacing itself and he notice how the water is reacting to his emotional distress "the guy that everyone respected and feared, the guy who everyone look up too and envied, why I thought you would be bothered or even feel slightly frustrated, scared, or even stress is beyond me" Percy added bitterly.
He considered the blond his friend, but back then when he didn't know anything about Naruto or even interacted with him. Percy, like everyone else, was jealous of Naruto. Everything seem to come easy for him, from his grades too his standing with the staff and students of the school. Heck everyone even made a pedestal of Naruto to compare on how they measured up to him, which sadly no one could even come close to half. Naruto posses what everyone wanted; money, adoration, respect, smarts, looks, and a gorgeous and loving girlfriend. And he made it out like it was nothing or it was insignificant to him, like it was expected or something. Of course the blond didn't know or maybe he did and didn't bother to care about that fact.
It was as if some sadistic being sent the blond just to mock them about their statues or lack there off and Percy hated him for that, but after getting to know the blond he knew he couldn't, how could he? When Naruto wasn't even from their world, this was any other day for a Shinobi dealing with life and death situation or even dealing with something simple as school and a social life "Percy don't sell yourself short or even thing of comparing yourself to me. Your you and I am me, everyone is unique in their own way and comparing yourself to anyone is showing how weak and pathetic you are" Naruto started calmly, he didn't need to have mind reading powers to know what Percy was saying, he knew how the sea-green eye felt about him, him and everyone else at school "take for example those people who follow the trend of today, those people who try to change their appearance to be accepted or even acknowledge, to make themselves beautiful or handsome as society deems it, for me they are all pathetic or simple low. For me beauty is what is inside you and who you are, if you can't accept yourself then you can never be beautiful or handsome. To find something that fits perfectly for society, when you can't even fit in yourselves is a shallow notion. So Percy don't try to compare yourself to me, you're you and I am me, we are both different and unique. You may have qualities that I don't unique to only you and same goes for me, no matter how small or large it is still something that you have and only will have" He finished.
"That what do I have that you don't" Percy asks confuse on what does he has that the blond doesn't have, because it seems he has everything that everyone wanted.
"A mother, a true mother, Percy I never knew my mother only the nightmare of the memory when I saw both, her and my father, of them killed when I was an infant a new born" Percy was shock by that statement.
Naruto smiled sadly "yes, my first memory of my parent was them being impaled and their loving words as they slowly die. At first I thought it was some kind of Genjutsu or even a nightmare, but the longer I thought about it, how could anyone conjure up something like that? Or how could I imagine something like that? Heh, it wasn't after an even that I found out that it wasn't a nightmare or even a Genjutsu as I hope, but a memory of when I was an infant. This is why I consider my photographic memory both a blessing and a curse as it records everything, even things I wish to forget" he said, his facial expression and voice sounded emotionless, hollowed, and dejected.
"I'm sorry" Percy said looking down in shame for his insensitivity.
Naruto shook his head "don't apologies, one you didn't know, two I stated the facts, and three it was my choice to tell you" he simply said.
"Now Percy, list to what I have to say okay" said teen nodded "I know you feel stress, everything that has happen within just a few months been a hell of a ride. First with Miss Dodds, second finding out about my ability, third us being chase down by something unknown, it's all stressful and any sane person would be stress, but I need you to calm down Percy and be strong, not for me or for you, but for your mother. I know that you think she's isn't all bother by this, in truth she's just putting on a brave face for you, she is scared out of her mind and I can sense that. So take in some air, calm your raging heart, and give your mom a reassuring hug got it" Percy nodded and did as instructed, inhaling and exhaling the black haired teen felt himself calming down, especially this close to the water he felt a peach and the raging storm inside of him calm down. Percy promptly stood up and made his way towards his mother, once he reach her the sea-green eyed teen pulled his mother into a hug.
Naruto smiled and saw his partner walk up to him "so you talk to him or something" she asks, knowing the answer already.
"I assume you did too, after all when it comes to people you're the best at handling them Mox" he said as Moxxi sat beside him and lay her head on his shoulder "well I figure she needed help with everything that has happen to her in the last few hours" she said revealing in her secret loves warmth, like Naruto, she too had a moment, as she put it, with Sally Jackson who kept up a brave face, which honestly impresses the brown haired sadist since most women this days were some of the reason why men looks down upon her gender one example Fan-girls, so Moxxi decided to help the mother out by talking with brunette.
"So where is Grover" Naruto ask curious to where the Percy's guardian Satyr.
"Probably being a hippy and dry humping a three or something" is her reply, which translates to he's taking a look around the forest for a possible escape route or make sure we weren't followed. This was Moxxi's way of making sure anyone who would try to ease drop confuse and her own codes language or cipher and the only Naruto could translate and understand her coded messages or words, since she taught him. Naruto didn't understand how or even why she considers it a form of coded message or a cipher, but he didn't question her thought processes, if he tried he would gain a monumental headache. Women are confusing like that and will forever be an eternal mystery "I'll have some shadow clones place an alarm seal and a trap seal, and have them call Grover back since its almost night time and dinner approaches I'll prepare our meal" Moxxi lick her lip, not in lust, but in anticipation of Naruto's cooking, which is surprising considering most guys don't cook, only a few that did not have ulterior motives as to why they learn how to cook in the first place.
While Naruto was preparing dinner, Sally and Percy were enjoying a long overdue mother and son bonding time, Moxxi relaxing wearing a red one piece bikini with a rather revealing cleavage hole, and Grover was taking a nap leaning on a large three 'well at least they aren't tense' the blond thought. Being tense in the battle field or on a mission would spell disaster, as it would hinder the thought process. Sure it puts you on guard, but a calm mind can easily weather down any storms and it helps to think straight during life and death situation, so for Naruto being tense was something he is against and would rather have his allies be relaxed, but not too relax, and ready.
Naruto's mind began to drift off a bit, something that has been recurring for the past week, to a specific even during his first three months in this new world. The blond brush it off as a failed experiment of a Jutsu he was working on, believing that it was a dream, considering how tired he was after training, with his stamina that is saying something.
The Jutsu was simple he tried to separate his subconscious from his body, it is similar to the Yamanaka clan Shintenshin No Jutsu (Mind Body switch Technique) a Jutsu was that original use for intelligence-gathering. This would allow the user to spy on the targets mind allowing him or her to learn everything the target knows and control their body for a short period of time, but the down side is that it would leave their body defenseless and open for attack.
Luckily for Naruto he didn't have to worry about his mind and body from being taken over or jack, since his inside companion wouldn't allow it, especially Elysium since she is very protective of the bond wielder.
The Jutsu would allow Naruto in the even he is somehow captured and lead a search team, most likely Moxxi, to find his body using the connection to his mind. It came as an inspiration he has on a movie he watch, sad part is he couldn't recall if it was a movie or the title of it.
He tried to but instead he got this weird dream, well maybe it wasn't weird considering the dream had its pleasant moments, but it was weird that his mind could conjure up such events and people. But now he wonder if it was more than just a dream 'if it is not a dream and I somehow manage to pull off something impossible then I hope they are alive, especially the young one' he hope. Naruto was rather fond of the little one, going so far as considering her as his little sister in all but blood, and was the only one who saw his now true form, which happen after he regain the other half of Kurumi's Yōki chakra.
Kurumi said it was a side effect from her Yōki entering his body. The blond was first felt weird, but quickly shook it off considering the benefits. Increase strength, reflexes, chakra, and stamina "plus it made you much more desirable, hot, and sexy" Kyuubi's voice suddenly rang out.
'I thought I cut the connection off' Naruto mentally question.
"You did but I decided to link it, now back to the topic of your true form…" before it could go any further Naruto decided to cut the link as he knew where this was heading, since on that day when he gain his new, well, body it was the day his lost his virginity, well mentally anyways. Kusumi has manipulated his emotion since he wasn't use to his new body, which lead him to pounce her and ravage her senseless "ahh good times, good time and that was rude of you to cut me off Naruto-kun" the nine-tails whined with a cute/sexy pout on her face, how he knew, cause he could easily see her doing that.
"Also it wasn't like you didn't enjoy it you beast" she purred out in a sultry tone, recalling that event when both of them rutted like bunnies in the heat. Heck she didn't have to give Naruto any sort of pointers as his instincts seem to guide him every step of the way "how you run through me so thoroughly, like you've been doingitfor years. Must be because you were in raise in the brothel and by the owner herself fufu" she giggled on the last part and really did wonder if Lilith gave Naruto some tip and advice on how to properly pleasure a woman.
At the blonds silence Kurumi began to laugh out loud "so she did, didn't she haha, well if we ever get the chance to meet her again and when I'm out of the seal I'll thank her for making you such an expert" she said.
It was when his adopted mother, Lilith, decided to give him the talk, which is one of the most dreaded experience of his young life, and followed by her lesson on seduction and pleasure; such as how to resist and how to seduce, the pleasure points in the human body specifically women, and the reason why it is important for him to learn that topic. One so he could resist being seduce into being captured, since almost all information gathering or assassination involved seducing your target to lower their guard which majority of those targets were males. Second so he could turn it around on his would be seductress and make her putty in his hand while getting information out of her. And third so he could satisfy his girlfriend(s) or wife (wives).
Such as the life of a ninja and how their world was, it wasn't a much of a hot topic for Kunoichi since they still have their pride as woman, but a mission is mission and they are duty bound to do so. But Naruto would never take advantage of any woman, enemy or not, he would just have them flustered enough to be distracted and knock them out.
"Well that aside, it could be a possibility that you may have done justthat"
'You do realize what your implying correct? Plus I don't know if it was an actuality or something that my mind came up with'
"It is not a question if it was real or not Naruto-kun, it is a question on how much you recall, and be honest Naruto-kun do you really think something weird as that is not possible considering your luck it could be real and you did manage to pull off something no one in your original world has ever done"
'Point, and admittedly bits and pieces only, considering the memory time laps'
"Yes, considering how far your subconscious went, it would be surprising if you manage to retain all of it. But my theory is that it is the same with dreams, you can't recall how a dream starts you just starts and all the details of the dream"
'It's possible, though why do I recall her, the little one, more?'
"Simple she's the most important part of the memory same with dreams, since the only part of the dream anyone can recall or remember is the important parts of the dream itself, and from your memories the two of you did bond. On another note at least you manage to get the hang in using your Yin Release" Yin release or Darkness release, a Jutsu that governs the imagination and illusion.
'I hope so' was all Naruto said before dismissing her in favor of cooking grilled steak, basil-oregano T-bone steaks, squash and barley salad with balsamic vinaigrette for Grover, since Naruto could tell the Caucasian teen is a vegetarian. Taking the necessary ingredients form his food storage scroll, Naruto expertly work on both dishes, all the while keeping his sense sharp and his guard up just in case 'the traps should give us enough time to make an escape' he thought.
The smell of Naruto's cooking quickly attracted their attention instantly "that's smell great Foxy" Moxxi complimented while putting on some black skinny jeans and a jacket. The other nodded in agreement with the brown haired beauty making the blond slightly chuckle, which was the first for both Grover and Percy knowing how serious the blond is all the time, so they were surprise when they heard him chuckle much less see a small smile on his otherwise serious, calculative, and intimidating face "why thank you Moxxi, here a Basil-Oregano T-bone steak for the three of you and a Squash and Barely salad with balsamic vinaigrette for Grover enjoy" Naruto said handing them out their meal, while he finish up in cooking some fries and his favorite meal Ramen, let it be known that before any other meal Ramen always comes first and those who wonder why the blond has an obsession and addiction to Ramen being his first real actual and none poisoned food.
Naruto summon another set of clones to act as guards and patrol the area ordering them to dispel at the first sign of trouble, and set up a few more traps around strategic location he anticipate the enemy, no matter how dumb, would enter. All the while securing a quick exit rout that would get them enough time to make some distance towards the Camp. Planning for any kind of scenario no matter how small or distance it is should always be planned down to a T and ahead of time.
It's good to anticipate your opponents movements or the moves they make that's a sound plan, but, predicting your opponents moves or movements before they even make it now that's a plan. It is the reason why Naruto hasn't lost a single fight, sure learning from your losses is a good thing, depending on who you ask, but in life and death situation there can be no room for error.
Heck dropping your guard for just a second could and can be fatal, the blond learned that when he trusted someone, before he meet Lilith, and got branded with a brandying iron. Naruto considered that a lost since he allowed himself to be fooled and it cost him another birthday and another part of his psyche, heck if it wasn't for him meeting Lilith he sure he would have gone insane and rip the seal off, or planted enough explosive around the village to fully level the place…he didn't know where he got his murderous tendencies from.
"This place is quite nice" Naruto started before slurping down on some of his Ramen while sitting down in front of a warm campfire that the blond made.
Sally nodded to this "yes it quite is" she said fondly with a reminiscing smile.
"I'm guessing this is where you meet Percy's dad" the blond continue and Sally nodded, flashes of memories of the time when she first meet her son's father causing her smile to grow and a hint of pink to appear on her cheeks, though Percy had a distant look on his face and the blond could tell what he was thinking of "aside from that I can see why you two like coming here. The beach area, a nice view of the ocean, a warm and relaxing breeze perfect for warming up some marshmallows over a camp fire sounds perfect if you ask me" Naruto added, pointing out the things that made this place wonderful for the two Jacksons.
Both mother and son smiled at Naruto's words "yeah this place has that certain effect, better than most places we hunker down Naruto" Moxxi said before taking a bite of her food, her partner nodded with a slight chuckle.
"If I can ask, what do the two of you do exactly" Sally asks.
"We're mercenaries, in a sense, but unlike your typical mercenaries we take up mission called contracts ranging from espionage, assassination, support, escort, retrieval, rescue, etc. Are clients or contractors are people from the government, foreign or state, and anyone with enough money to set up a contract. The team is made up of five members not counting the handler, which is yours truly, with specific set of skills called specialist such as medic, combat, strategist, range, and engineering, but Foxy here is a jack-of-all-trade and myself included making up a two member team" Moxxi explained in the most simplest of terms so they could understand.
"But ain't that dangerous with just the two of you" Sally said with genuine concern for the two.
"It was frustrating at times, well was being the word, until I discovered Naruto here is every girl's wet dream come true I.E he can make solid clones of himself, like the ones standing guard and patrolling the area right now" Moxxi pointed to one of the nearby tree and the branch of said tree was a Naruto clone standing guard. The three, Sally Grover, and Percy, blush at Moxxi's implication more so with Sally having read a certain orange book that she would never admit that she has or that it was tuck away in her bag "ahh my very own one-man-harem fufu" Moxxi giggled out with a slight droll going down her lip before wiping it away.
Naruto shook his head at his partner's antics "it was on one particular mission that I had to reveal my ability to Moxxi. You see our contractor decided to pull a fast one on us and tried to kill us for some rare diamonds" he said nonchalantly. The blond didn't want to go into details about his professional life or work "I won't go into details about the mission, it was suppose to be a simple supply retrieval mission of illegal drugs and the company did check out clean, but the guy who hired us wasn't. Long story short we found the suppose drugs which turns out to be diamonds that would catch a hefty price at the black market, our client tried to kill us with a haze of bullets, me using an Doton Jutsu or earth release technique to block all the bullets, and use said Jutsu to create earth spears impale our former client and his goons to the wall" he finish and finished another set of Ramen.
Sally, Percy, and Grover blink and even check their eyes to make sure they weren't seeing things, since there were ten empty bowls "h-how" Percy asks in disbelief.
"How what, Percy"
"How could you finished ten bowls of Ramen while you were talking"
"There must be something wrong with your eyes, since I've already finished my twelve bowl of Ramen" indeed there were an additional two empty bowls. It seems at the time when all three of them blink and cleared their eyes the blond somehow finished his Ramen making them wonder just what kind of stomach does the blond have "I suggest you three stop thinking about it before you have a massive headache, just file this on the many odd things Naruto here does" Moxxi said deciding to save them the trouble and the headache.
She should know it happen to her when she decided to treat her blond partner to his favorite meal, let's just say her purse suffered greatly because of that and even with the security cams weren't able to capture just how Naruto finished three bowls of Ramen in a blink of an eye literally in a blink of an eye.
"Ahh the Ramen trick never gets old" the nine tailed demoness voice rang out.
'Trick? Kurumi I have no idea what you're talking about, I would never desecrate the sacredness of Ramen which such childish things' Naruto shoot back vehemently.
"Forgive me Naru-kun for my words against your sacred food"she said masking the sarcasm in her voice, though if Naruto could look into his mindscape he would have seen an amuse smile on her face.
'You are forgiven then, just make sure it does not happen again' he said before cutting their mental link. What people didn't know is Naruto discreetly place a Genjutsu that would disorient a person sense of time, from the time a person's blink to the time they reopen their eyelids. This also works even if people would stare at him the Genjutsu would cause them to blink, for what appear to be a second, is actually a minute.
The blond was inspired to create this Genjutsu from a movie he watch title inception.
Inside Naruto mindscape Kurumi has a smirk on her face "kuku deceitful as a fox good Naru-kun, very good" she said with an evil glint in her eyes before noticing the glare being sent her way by Elysium"before you say anything you virgin prude, deceiving and misdirecting your opponent is a vital component in making any competent plans and in the battle field" she smirk as her statement shut the blonde up.
Inferno sighs relive that he didn't have to go through another argument between the two ladies. Seriously you would think they were twins or something with how much the two argued on a daily basis, it would always involved their master and he would always try to break them up, the word try, the two would either blast him or flat out ignore him 'I wonder if there are two people who argues as much as these two' somewhere an raven-black, sometimes auburn, haired woman with silver eyes and a blond with bright blue eyes sneeze, causing the lateral to spill his drink on a black haired beauty wearing a strapless dress causing her to slap him before storming out and the former to miss her target.
'Someone must be talking about me' they thought in, oblivious, unison.
'Must be some hot babe talking about me hehe' the blond thought with a grin on his face.
'Must be my idiot brother, which reminds me I never did get him back from almost seducing one of my hunters, turning him into a pincushion should be an appropriate punishment staring with his jewel area' the silvered eyed woman thought.
Back with Naruto and the group, the blond has his eyes slightly narrow at his black haired friend when he asks about his father 'it had to happen sooner or later' both Moxxi and Naruto thought. Moxxi being an accomplish psychologist and Naruto being able to sense emotion and could read people like an open book they've anticipated something like this to happen.
"He was kind, tall, handsome, and powerful. But he very gentle and humble too. You have his beautiful green eyes and his hair along with some of his traits I really wish he could have seen you I'm sure he would be so proud" she answered fondly recalling her godly, literally, lover with a loving smile on her face.
"How old was I…when he left" Percy asked pushing for more answers. He wanted, no, he needed to know when his father left him.
Sally bite down on her lips and her expression turn to one of sadness "he was only with me for one summer Percy. It was right here when we spent our time together, something that I will always cherish" she said this time with a sad smile.
"But he knew me as a baby right?" he asks in a hopeful tone.
Sally sadly shook her head "no, honey. He knew I was expecting a baby, but he never saw you. He had to leave before you were born" Percy was about to ask what was so important for him to abruptly leave like that or he would have resorted in saying his father just didn't want to take responsibility for knocking up his mom, but a calming feeling wash over him like a tidal way and a hand was on his shoulder. The sea-green eyed teen turned his head to his right side and saw Naruto "Percy it could be very well be what you are thinking of, that he didn't want to take responsibility, or their could have been a reason for him to leave, but don't dwell on that whys and remember you have a very loving mother, who went the extra mile to protect you and shield you from monsters by marrying a scum, beside it's his lost for missing out on getting to know a good person like you my friend" Percy nodded feeling his anger and hatred vanish under the calming feeling he felt and by his blond friends words.
Sally smiled and silently thanks the bond for being her sons friend "how about you Naruto, what was your parents like" she asks wanting to know more about her sons friend.
"I never knew my parents since I was an orphan" he said, his voice void of any sort of emotion.
"Was meaning someone adopted you…right?"
"Yes and no"
His answer left the three of them, since they didn't know about his past, confuse "yes in a sense I was adopted, no since I wasn't properly adopted considering the caretaker kick me out when I was five years old" he said in a cold icy tone making them shiver.
"I'm sorry for bringing up such bad memories" Naruto shook his head "its fine you didn't know and I know you wanted to know more about your friends son" he said in a soft tone.
"Still"
"And I'll say it again its fine, beside it just made me recall the time when I met my adopted mother Lilith" he said while tending to the flame, making Grover think back on how similar it was to a young girl stoking next to the camps own hearth and tending to it he saw that one time "she thought me how to read, write, proper etiquette, and educate me. To other people they would be surprise considering her profession" he said.
"Which is" Percy asks in curiosity.
"She's the owner of a well known Brothel, strip clubs, and other business around the Red-light district where I grew up" Naruto further explain Lilith's personality and his interaction with her girls and the people of the red-light 'it seems you can't really judge a book by its cover' Sally, Percy, and Grover thought, oblivious that the other was thinking of the same thing.
"Well I'm for one am glad that you were surrounded by such pleasant people, despite their profession" Sally said with a nod of approval. Percy nodded as well, he wasn't really the overly judging type, preferring to judge a person by their action and personality instead of their appearance or what other people thinks of them "I'm happy for you Naruto" he said along with Grover, the two look at each other before laughing slightly both happy that their friend lived a good life.
Naruto smiled a bit, but it mask the pained memory that he recall prior before meeting Lilith 'no I do not want to trouble them with my past' he thought firmly.
"How about you Moxxi" Sally asks her fellow brunette.
"Well nothing much, grew up in the southern farm land. My dad was the town mayor and he was too busy with his work to even notice me, hell the only time he did is when I did something illegal, shows what he knows"Moxxi said mumbling at the last part with venom. Naruto who knew about her past, place his arm around her brining her close to him "thanks Sugar" she said while snuggling close to him.
"As I was saying, my dad wasn't what you called an honest man. His operation and dealings you can compare it to the Mafia, if he can't get you with his looks or money, he'll get you in another way, you can imagine just how he got to be a mayor. So when I did something that would put him in a bad light or would somehow expose his illegal operation, he would either hit me or lock me in my room. I grew tired of it and when the opportunity came for me to escape I ran with little money he gave me or what I've stolen" She started losing a bit of control over her emotion as she visibly clench her fist to a point that her nails nearly dug into her skin, nearly if it wasn't for her blond crush "I arrive here at new York city and I was almost out of cash, so I got a gig being an announcer for an underground fight club here in new York and on occasion got my hands a little dirty, but hey you got to do whatever it takes to survive. Though I was never without help as crazy as it sounds I would here this faint voice in my head guiding me to certain people who would be useful for my survival, harsh as it sounds you don't survive or live another day without getting your hands dirty" she stop to see their reaction. When she saw they weren't negatively judging her she continued.
"I got involved with certain man who knew their way around, did something that I wasn't proud of but I won't deny I did it to survive or at least live to see the sun rise. They help me or rather thought me the tools of the trade, so-to-speak, I've learn certain skills that would otherwise been deem illegal by today's standers, but I also learn some legal skills. Such as mechanics, computer programming, psychology, yes being able to read a person is a very useful skill and I did actually graduated top of my class in fact at Harvard University, and Law same school. But as I went on I got board, I mean all this skill and no fun way to apply it. It wasn't until I overheard some random group talk about the contract, It caught my interest, so I tract down to where this contract mission are being hand out and grab an associate of mine and accepted a D-grade job. At first it was fun but it soon turn boring and my parte, ex-partner, was against taking high-risk mission and storm out on me, I was stump until sugar here walk in on me and overheard about our discussion, he showed me a bit of his skills and long story short he and I been partners ever since" Moxxi finished, though left some parts out since she has yet to trust the three of them unlike how she trust Naruto.
"I won't judge my sons friend since I would have done the same if it would ensure that my son would live and you help me Moxxi so if you need a female friend, then I'm here for you" Sally said, Moxxi smiled and nodded towards her fellow brunette.
"Same with Me and Grover"
"That's right if you need a friend we're here for you"
"Thanks" she said to her…well her two new friends.
They made chatted until it was night time and at the end of it. Percy asked if Sally what are they were going to do about school since Percy would need to find a new school. Naruto, Moxxi, and Grover silently excuse themselves to give the two privacy knowing this is between the mother and son "Me and Moxxi will take first watch and even if either or both of us doze off, somehow, my clones would only need to dispel to alert me at the first sign of trouble, Grover you stay close to Percy and his mom, since it is your job" Grover nodded following the blonds orders.
Naruto lean up against a tree and felt himself at peace underneath the moon's gaze and the darkness around him 'most people would choose to remain in the light, to bask under the sun's rays and the warmth it provide, but not for me. I prefer the moon over the sun, I prefer the cool, relaxing, and tranquility it provides me under the cover of darkness. The darkness, it is where I thrive in, it is where I'm at my most dangerous. Beside you can't stare at the sun without losing your eye site as oppose to the modesty of the moon, you can truly admire the simple yet elegance of the moon's beauty' he thought to himself.
It may have been strange to others, but not for Naruto. For him the darkness was like his blanket that provided him warmth and comfort while the moon was his guardian, lighting a path for him in his time of need. Let's say a mob was after him, he couldn't hide or escape during the day since they would easily spot him, unlike when it was at night when the moon would provide little to no light at all Naruto can use the moon as a guide to find a hiding spot and the darkness would obscure where he was hiding.
That and the fact that Shinobies and Kunoichi operate within the shadows and in darkness to accomplish their mission such as espionage, stealth, or assassination.
Not that he dislike the sun or anything like that, he just found it somewhat annoying at times is all.
"What are you thinking about Naruto" hearing his partner's voice snaps him out of his thought and turned to meet her gaze.
"Nothing, just admiring the moon and relaxing under the blanket of the night" he simply said getting a giggle from the brown haired beauty.
"I should have known, knowing you, if I hadn't snapped you out of it you would have stared at the moon till its sets" she said teases.
"Hehe, maybe but clones would snapped me out" Naruto replied.
A moment of silence befall the couple before Moxxi broke the silence "what do you think our chances are" she asks.
"Worried?"
Moxxi snorted at that "me? Worried? Hardly, I'm just asking our chances. We have two civilians and a Goat boy, I don't know how well they perform under pressure" she said with a subtle innuendo.
Naruto sigh "I won't say anything, since I don't know what we are dealing with. I can only plan with what little, or lack there off, information. But if my assumption is correct on just who Percy's Godly parent is, then the traps I set should buy us enough time to escape and make it to camp, hopefully" he said.
"Not so sure mister strategist"
"There is always a chance no matter how small that something wrong could happen, I'm not a fool to think that everything will go accordingly"
"Yeah all we can do is hope for the best"
*Time skip-midnight*
"You don't have to do this; you can still come with me, you and Zabuza both. I can talk to the old man to give the both of you a place in Konoha" Naruto cried out to a mask individual in front of him, this mask person being the person he loves and pained him for having to fight her.
Sadly she shook her head "I'm sorry Naruto, you know the reason why I…we can't accept the offer" she said holding up several senbon between her finger tips.
"It doesn't have to be this way; please I don't want to fight you H—
Naruto's eyes snap open as one of his traps was triggered and cause a large explosion "we must have doze off" Moxxi said, also being woken up by the sound of Naruto's trap.
The blond stumbled back for a bit as he was assaulted by the memory of his clones 'undead soldiers...I don't have time to wonder about that' he thought and quickly told Moxxi to go fetch their other companion. Several other explosion can be heard as it was trigger by who or what ever forces were against them "Naruto what's going on" Sally asks franticly.
"I've place several traps around this location in case anyone or anything would try to ambush us, and looks like I'm correct. Now get in" he ordered before turning to his partner "Moxxi stay at the back and cover our six" Moxxi nodded and got into the back of Naruto's car.
"Everyone hold on this is going to be a bumpy ride" Naruto warned before driving off like a mad man. Taking the path the blond assume would get them a good amount of distance away from Montauk, he drove pass several trees and into the main road, disregarding the speed limit he stomp his foot on the gas pedal and drove "what's happening Naruto, who is after us" Percy asks.
"Some undead soldiers with gun, which sound like a cheesy eighties or seventies horror film but yeah, and large bull is leading them, Grover do you know anything about this" he said before asking the satyr, who turn ashen at the mention of what was after them.
"Wait a large bull you mean a—"
Before Percy could finish his mother cut him off "don't mentions its name Percy, names hold power" she chastise. Normally Percy would have question it for being a myth, but after seeing what his blond friend can do and his interaction with Miss Dodds, the sea-green eyed teen knew this was real and Pasiphae's son was really after them.
"Moxxi is anyone one following us" Naruto asks out
"No—yes their behind us" Moxxi said as she started firing with her special sniper rifle Naruto made called Chère-amie. Naruto made this rifle for her as a gift on her birthday with the metal that was given to him by his father a few mounts ago and she showed her appreciation by…well let just say the things she did to show her appreciation were beyond anything the porn industry could possibly think of.
"Crap, keep your head down" Naruto ordered as he swerved to the left avoiding a round from a rocket launcher.
"Um, not to alarm anyone but there is a black cloud after us as well" Moxxi said, switching to a different rounds of ammo as the normal round she used weren't effective. Like her sniper rifle, Naruto made use of the special metal he had to make this particular fifty-cal ammo that no normal weapon could possibly handle.
"Hellhounds! Oh Gods why" Grover cried out in fear.
"Just peachy" Naruto muttered under his breath "Sally I need you to take the wheel and drive us to that camp" Percy's mom nodded and carefully took the wheel. Now Sally was in the driver's seat and Naruto was on the passenger seat. Summoning his bow, Naruto rolled the widows down and moved half of his body outside of the car "don't worry about keeping it steady, just drive" he reassured the brunette.
Lining up his shoot, Naruto pulled back on a strong draw weight, for high damage and a long range, and since him and Moxxi where dealing with mythical or supernatural creature, the blond decided to use his chakra arrow. The chakra arrow like his Rasengan is pure chakra manipulation and like his Rasengan, Naruto mastered it to a point that he could instantly form it. And unlike normal arrows, he didn't need to take into account how gravity or the wind would hinder his shoot, since it's basically weightless and could cut through even a category F-5 tornado on medium draw weight. That and he doesn't need to worry about running out of arrows, unless if he's fully drain that is.
Keeping his breath light and steady, to Naruto everything around him had gone into silence and was focused solely on his target. He exhaled slowly before letting his arrow slice through the very air itself. If anyone could see it, they would have thought someone fired off a laser gun like in those sci-fi movies they've watch.
Naruto's chakra arrow hit its mark in-between the eyes of a Hellhound, killing it in an instant "nice shoot sugar" Moxxi complimented before firing another round, killing another two undead soldier and lighting them up on fire. Naruto place two special seals when he made Moxxi's favorite toy, as she calls it, the first is a seal that would imbued the rifle with an elemental affinity, in this case fire, and the second seal was a chakra generator that stored his potent chakra. The second seal would allow the first seal to activate and coat the bullet with the fire affinity upon leaving the chamber of the gun.
Moxxi had question the potential of seals with Naruto, stating that it could outpace or outmatch modern technology or anything else for that matter. Naruto simply replied that seal are limitless depending on the person imagination, which was why his clan was both feared and envied, to a point that three of the five major nations would ban together to eradicate his clan.
The blond Jinchūriki pay her no mind his focus was solely on his target, killing said target, and make sure his friends are safe. The blond fired off three chakra arrow in quick succession, hitting its specific target with deadly consistency of headshots. One undead manage to fire another rocket, before Moxxi killed it 'shit' she mentally curse as she ran out of ammo and pulled out her side-arm, pistol, and fired. The force of the explosion cause Sally to swerve violently to the left side, causing Naruto to be thrown out of the car "NARUTO!" they shouted, aside from Moxxi.
The blond did a mid air flip before landing and ninja dash back towards the car, using the other cars on the road to close the distance between him and his car "sorry about that" Moxxi said knowing full well Naruto would be fine and could easily catch up with them. Naruto nodded and stayed on the roof of the car and glued himself on top with his chakra, before resuming in killing his targets.
Naruto and Moxxi continue proving cover fire; for what seems like hours until they drove past a large strawberry farm that had a large wooden that looked darkened and had a large picket sign that said PICK YOUR OWN STRAWBERRIES.
"We are nearly there" they heard Sally and Grover say.
"W-w-where a-a-are we going" Percy manage to ask in his panic and adrenalin educe state.
"The summer camp I told you about" Sally choke out trying to fight back the tears.
"The place you said you didn't want me to go" Percy said making Moxxi almost smack the kind on the head knowing that was just going to make Sally feel bad, but couldn't since she was busy with covering their asses.
"Please, dear this is hard enough. Try to understand. You, Moxxi, and Naruto are in danger" his mother begged.
"Yes, especially since the thread was cut" Grover added ominously.
"Why? What does a thread some old lady cut has to do with anything" Percy asked.
Moxxi sigh "didn't you paid attention to your…never mind" she started not taking her eyes of her target "if we go about everything we know now, such as the hellhounds, the undead soldier, the large bull, and Grover being a goat boy then we can associate this with Greek mythology. And those three old ladies are what you called the fates. To make it short when they cut the yarn…that means someone is going to die and that somebody is possibly either of us" Moxxi explained before taking out another undead soldier.
"Exactly" Grover said confirming Moxxi's words "the fact they appeared in front of you…I mean someone, then that means someone is going to die" he finished.
"Whoa, you said you" Percy said freaking out even more.
"No I didn't. I said someone" Grover argued back.
"Ladies stop bickering before I decide to slap your faces" Moxxi hissed out.
Sally pulled the wheel hard to the right narrowly missing a large figure that suddenly appeared, but this action cause Moxxi to miss her target and said target fired a missile, hitting the left side of the road. Sally lost control of the car making it flip over, Naruto jump off the roof of the car as it spun in mid air before landing "everyone get out of the car now" Naruto bark out firing of multiple chakra arrows to give them time to get out of the downed car.
"Naruto, Grover is unconscious!" Percy shouted.
"Great" Naruto groaned and summon a shadow clone to carry the unconscious satyr, who mumbled something about food.
"We need to reach that giant tree in top of the hill" sally said point at a large pine tree that towered over all the other trees "head straight for it and don't stop. Get over the hill and you'll see a big farmhouse down in the valley. Just run and don't look back. Yell for help. Don't stop until you reach the door."
"Guys go on ahead, I'll them back" Naruto said shocking the group and saw they were about to protest until Naruto shot a rocket round with his arrow "we don't have time to argue, I'll be fine JUST GO" Naruto shouted at the last part firmly.
"Common" Moxxi said with a bit of reluctance but knew Naruto can handle himself "you better come back to me…I mean us" she said before leaving.
'Inferno, Elysium its time' Naruto mentally said "yes Naruto-sama" there was a brief flash of light before it dissipates leaving his two main weapon, Soul Edge on his right and Soul Calibur on his left both in their scythe forms. Just as a pack of Hellhounds and Undead soldier surrounded him.
It was a standstill, no one seemed to move a single muscle or even twitch, until a roar from a Hellhound as it charge towards the blond, who stood his ground and simply side step at the last minute before slicing the hound in two "next" he said, his expression unreadable and his eyes were overshadowed by his bangs, but if look closely once could see his eyes were half lid as if he was board. Several undead soldier fired at the blond and three threw their grenades at him, the blond simply dodge out of the way and manage to deflect on grenade back towards the group, the grenade exploded killing the group of undead, though some manage to survive, but not before Naruto was suddenly in front of them and slice them in a horizontal slash.
"Naruto-sama remember you have to finish them off quickly"Elysium reminded as her master dodge a volley of bullets and decapitate two Hellhound before rushing a group of undead soldiers as they reloaded, slicing their heads off 'I know' he said before connecting his duel-scythe together and slice two Undead soldiers and thrust Soul Edge forwards, piercing the head of the third Undead soldier. He quickly unhinge his two scythes and used it to black two Hellhound and push them back, while the two were in mid air Naruto quickly attack the two Hellhound and slice them with both his scythes.
He then dodges several rockets aim at him and quickly threw both his scythes at the undead soldiers killing them before they could reload and as quickly as he threw his weapon both weapons returned to him like a boomerang. The rest of the undead soldiers fired another valley of bullets, but what happen next surprise them. The blond had connected his scythes together with both ends pointing forwards and started to deflect all the bullets that were fired at him, swinging his scythes at nearly impossibly speeds becoming almost a blur 'good thing I've studied the Hyūga's variation of Kaiten/revolving heaven' he thought.
Terepōto no surasshu/Teleportation Slash. In an instant Naruto was in front of several undead soldiers taking cover behind several three, he killed the first one before he spun his scythe around in a full circular arch finishing off the rest of the undead soldiers.
The blond turn to a charging Hellhound and horizontally slicing it in half and continue to brutally kill the rest till none remain. Inside his mindscape Kurumi had a lewd smile at the carnage her destine mate displayed in front of her "such brutal efficiency fitting for a demon like yourself Koi"she gleefully said. It was only in the battlefield where she would see Naruto's…darker side, an artist at the art of killing and execution, an example is when Naruto had stab one Undead soldier in the neck with both his scythe before he flips over brutally removing its head in a gory decapitation, another is when he stab another Undead soldier, but instead of removing its head, he jumps behind the Undead solider, flips the body over and used it to hammer a Hellhound into the ground "after this I'm definitely going to drag him into his mindscape and ride him until we both feel are hips break fufu" she said in her battle-lust induce state, which was only reserve for Naruto and Naruto alone.
Back with Naruto, the blond finished of the last wave of undead soldier and Hellhound. Not feeling a bit tired or fatigue that he fought a small army thanks to Soul Edge's special ability 'now that's done time to…' his train of thought was cut off as the memory of his clone came into mind nearly making him curse as he dashed towards his friends 'hold on' he mentally prayed.
*With the other moments after leaving Naruto*
"Moxxi, are sure it was right for us to just leave Naruto behind" Percy questioned, worried for his blond friend along with his mother.
"Don't worry about the Boss Percy" the clone said with a reassuring smile.
"Yeah, you've seen him in action when he killed that bat-of-a teacher correct" Percy nodded to this and Moxxi continue "then you don't have to worry about…" she was cut off when she felt a bullet graze her cheeks.
The group quickly took cover, Moxxi peered out and saw several undead soldiers "shit they must have waited to ambush us, or some of them might have gone ahead to cut us off" Moxxi said before taking aim and fired at one of the undead soldier who peered its head up, blowing the top part of its head before it lit on fire, and it seems that undead soldier was carrying some grenades because as soon as it caught on fire the undead soldier exploded taking the rest of the undead soldier with him 'thank you Tyche' Moxxi mentally thanks the Goddess of luck.
"We're close" Sally said, but suddenly a monstrous creature Bull-like monster covered in brown fur with large horns on its skull-face was blocking their way, and in its right hand was a large rock, the Minotaur threw the rock aiming it directly at Percy and Sally, the clone saw this and quickly drop Grover on the ground, causing him to wake up and screamed out when he saw Pasiphae son. The clone push both mother and son away, saving them from being crush "Grover that was a clone now get your ass moving" Moxxi said snapping Grover out of his shock state as he thought his friend got killed.
"If acts like any other bull then when it charges we wait for the last second, and then jump out of the way directly sideways. He can't change direction very well once he's charging" Moxxi suggested.
"She's right" both Grover and Sally said in unison.
"How do you know all this and why don't you just kill it" Percy asked.
"I and Naruto had a mission at Mexico to assassinate a corrupt official while he was attending a bullfighting show, I've noted how the Matador would side-step at the last possible second just before the bull could hit him and to answer your question I've ran out of ammo" she said.
Moxxi turned her head and saw the Minotaur charge at them "JUMP OUT OF THE WAY NOW" she shouted at the last possible second. They did as instructed and jump out of the way. The bull went straight past them and ended up slamming into a tree 'that should buy us some time' she thought.
Reaching the hill with the tree, they saw that a valley was below them and it had a farmhouse that had yellow lights glowing in the window "Moxxi take Percy and go, I can't go any farther" Sally cried out. Before her son or Moxxi could respond they froze in fear and shock as the Minotaur came rushing up to them and it was clearly heading towards Sally, she tried to get out of the way like last time but the bull had learn its lesson last time. The bull-like man arms shoot forward and grab Sally with his large hands, she struggled to free herself.
Percy watch in horror as his mother looked at him for one last time before the monster squeezed, but before it could crush her, the Bull scream out in pain as a yellow blur slice its arm off "Naruto" Percy heard Moxxi called out in relief and saw his blond friend kick the monster several feet away "Grover call for help and hurry, Moxxi check on Sally's condition, and I'll handle that bull headed freak" Naruto ordered and remembered about the special barrier. The Satyr nodded and quickly ran to call for help, and both Moxxi and Percy rush to sally's side.
"Mom, Naruto's here we're save…Mom" Percy asks and saw his mother struggling for breath.
"I-I-I'm…g-g-glad…t-t-to…ha-ha-have…a...s-s-son…l-l-like...y-y-you...a-a-and…r-r-remember…I love you" was the last thing she said before her eyes close.
"MOM!" Percy cried out in anguish, making Naruto look back with eyes widen.
Once again he failed to protect someone. Once again he failed his friend. Once again he failed in keeping his promise. Memories of his first failure at protecting the one he loved flashed before his eyes, as both Percy and Sally, who was in her son's arms, was replace with his image and her image "no" he muttered in denial "no, no, NOOOO!" Naruto shouted in range and turn his attention to the one responsible, missing the crowed that arrive behind him.
"You" Naruto said in a demonic voice at seeing the Bull-headed man "I'll kill you ROAAAA" he said and shouted as dark violet colored energy shoot out from his body and he began leaking massive amounts of killing intents, the potency cause the surrounding area around the blond to slowly wither and die.
"Be grateful, freak, you are but the second person to see this form"with that the dark violet aura envelop Naruto's body and with a massive wave they saw not Naruto but death himself.
There hovering in front of them was a large figured who's face is completely hidden in the shadows of a cowl, a large robe envelopes the rest of the body, on its back were skeletal wings, and wielding a massive scythe with many skulls engraved into the flat of the blade. With just a blink of an eye, the massive figure was in front of the Minotaur and slice off its remaining appendages, before dark violet chains shoot up from the ground and imbedded itself into where the Minotaur's arms and legs once was "scream for me" and Pasiphae's son scream in pain.
"You feel don't you? The corrosive chakra entering your body haha, don't worry it gets worst" Naruto said in a demented voice as he stab the bull-like creature chest with his bone-like hands. All it could do was scream out in pain as the corrosive substance slowly melted its body.
"W-what happen to him" the sea-green eyed teen asks in fear and awe.
"That is Naruto's Reaper form" the brunette said and visibly shivered "I've only seen it once and I wish I hadn't asks him too. This is one of his strongest technique and his most frightening, I mean you saw those brief flashes of your death in the most brutal way possible correct" the black haired teen and the people behind him nodded.
"That is one of its effects is to instill all those affected by his killing intent aura with the dread of death with flashes of images of your own death in the most brutal way. I don't know the full extent of the technique since he canceled just when I was about to kill myself to escape that dreaded feeling" she finished and shivered again in fear.
"Be thankful I shall give you the sweet relief of death" Naruto said before he swung his massive scythe in once quick blurry motion slicing the Minotaur into pieces.
In Olympus the Gods and Goddess were discussing, yes discussing not arguing since their time in the elemental nation seem to mellowed them down and reminded them of the bonds of family, on who would steal both Zeus lightning bolt, Poseidon's trident, and Hades Helm of darkness, but then the Olympian felt a massive killing intent aura near the camp, which prompt Zeus to summon Irish and ordered her to bring a live video feed of the camp. They were surprise to see a blond haired teen surrounded by a mass of dark violet energy.
Once Goddess instantly recognized the teen "Naruto" the Goddess mumbled.
"Hestia, sister, do you know this child" Demeter question having heard her sister mumbled out a name.
Hestia nodded and was about to tell just who Naruto is, but a voice answered for her "he is the legacy of you Olympian and my son" they instantly turned to the source of the voice and they were surprise at who it was.
"Nyx" Zeus muttered in a bit of fear and disbelief at seeing the Primordial Goddess of the night and the daughter of Chaos.
"Hello Olympians" she greeted giving a court bow, manners and all, to the Gods and Goddess of the Olympus.
"You've sense it as well Nyx" Hestia said to the primordial being.
"Yes and I knew that the rest of you Gods and Goddess would wonder just who my son and your legacy is" she said brining the topic to light.
"Wait your son and Aunt Hestia's legacy…how" asks a disbelief Hermes.
"Well if none of you interrupt me then I can properly explain" taking their silence as an indication she decided to explain everything about Naruto, his relation to herself and Hestia, and finally his lineage with the rest of the Olympian.
"So let me get this straight" Athena, the Goddess of wisdom started "Naruto is your son from your mortal shell Mina Namikaze and your wife Kushina Uzumaki, the daughter of Aunt Hestia's mortal shell and a legacy of the rest of us dating back to my father and Lady Hera's daughter."
Nyx nodded "you simplified it perfectly, now to the reason why I and Hestia took him from the Elemental Nation" she snaps her finger and images of Naruto dark past flash before their eyes. Not soon after they exploded in a fit of rage and cursed out loudly at the mortals who dared harm their legacy, surprising Hestia allowed them to curse in every language they knew as she herself had the same reaction.
So it wasn't much of a surprise that they promptly stood up with the full intention of smite Konoha and all its inhabitance, which Hestia stop by standing in their way "sister please move aside, we have some mortals to punish" Zeus ordered, close to turn into his true Godly form.
"Yes Aunt Hestia, those mortals have a lot to answer for, not only did they dare harm a defenseless child and tortured him, but they dare harm our legacy, those insect will know the feeling of being hunted down" Artemis said vehemently, already contemplating on what kind of animal would she turn those filthy mortals into.
The other nodded as well, wanting to show rightful vengeance for their legacy "believe me nothing more would please me then to see them brought to Tartarus to be tortured for their transgression" Hestia said.
"Then why are you stopping us sister" Hera asks, losing her patients at the eldest Olympian.
"All of you did see the people of the Red-light correct" she reminded and they nodded "then you would know from Naruto's memory that he considers them their family and precious people. By harming Konoha you would be harming them as well, including others who he considers precious to his heart" they gave out a remorse sigh.
"Oh that won't be a problem, I'll be sure to avoid them as I hack down those fuckers" Ares said, his eyes burning with hot rage and like his father he was also close into turning into his Godly form. At the warmonger statement their eyes re-lit up and nodded in agreement, they could easily avoid harming their legacy's precious people.
"You would still harm them since by killing of majority of the people in Konoha you would leave the survivors, Naruto's precious people, vulnerable to attack from other Nation looking to capitalize on Konoha's weaken state and have all of you forgotten the law, we are not allowed to interfere with the mortals" the Goddess of the night said, as much as she want those mortals to suffer she couldn't risk harming his son's precious people.
Ares roared out in rage and punch one of the columns breaking it in half "then what do you suggest we do, need I remind you this is also an insult not only to us but to you as well primordial" he asks.
"My daughters, the fates, have already informed me that their end, those who dare harmed their little brother" Nyx informed. They relent at hearing the Primordial's words, indeed if the fates decree it then it would happen soon "and it seems my son has transform back into his original state" all heads turn back to the screen.
Back with Naruto, the bond transform back to his original self 'damit not yet used to it' the reaper form was the combine power of Kurumi's corrosive Yōki, Inferno's and Elysium's special abilities combine. All held together by his unique chakra. The reaper form is one of his strongest techniques, but it was very taxing on the body as it absorbs a lot of his chakra and he could only maintain in for a maximum of three minutes, even if he masters it Kurumi speculated he could only maintain the form for a maximum of five-six minutes, at best seven.
So this Jutsu was only reserve as his final trump card if he is push to the point of defeat.
Naruto walk back towards his friend "Percy I'm sorry" he said dropping down on his knees in regret.
"C-c-can't you do anything Naruto, I mean you have these awesome powers, can't you do something please" the sea-green eyed teen beg.
Naruto was about to reply but Elysium stop him "master I can sense a bit of her life force remaining, but it is incredibly faint" she informed.
'Is there a way yo save her' the blond asks.
"There is…"
'But…'
"The process would change her, I don't know to what extent, but it will change her none the less" her voice sounded very hesitant about the idea and the complication it might bring.
"Elysium, are you suggesting that he transfer his chakra into that human's body" Kurumi said, figuring Elysium's plan.
"Yes"
"Are you insane!?" both Inferno and Kurumi snap at the blonde spirit.
'Is there a chance' Naruto asks putting a stop to their argument before it even begins.
"Yes, but it would require you to also transfer a bit of your own coils and assimilate it with her own, since the humans of this world are unlike the humans of the Elemental nation who can expand their coils even if they are civilian. By doing so you can save her life, but the down side is your power level would drop to Jonin level and expose your true form" Elysium finished.
"Don't forget the change that could happen to Jackson-san's body, we don't know the possible negative side effect that could happen to her body, heck her body could implode or mutate her, and Naruto would be responsible for either both" Kurumi reminded and glared at the blond spirit for her softness and risk of her destine mate.
"But there is also a chance that it won't happen, that it would save Sally Jackson and spare a child from losing his mother" Elysium argued back.
The two started to argue until Inferno had enough "ENOUGH!"he roared out "this choice is ultimately Naruto-sama's decision, so let him decided" the three entities turn to the blond who had a contemplated look on his face, weigh the chances of success and failure, as well as the backlash and consequence of such action.
Like Newton's third law. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction 'I choose…'
—End—
Author-sorry for the slight cliff, but I had to do it hehe. So as I said this will be an AU of the story along with one X-over, aside from there will be once opposition from another series that would be on the opposition side, and I've decided on what it is, since I believe it is the closest to the PJO series as it gets, I did leave one obvious hint in this chapter. But yeah this is my idea on the consequence of certain things, some say it maybe lazy writing, but for me it is not, cause this will show how a writer could manipulate three different words and mold them into one, besides a little variety won't be all bad Ne? And I'll be showing just what Narutodreamedin the next chapter as well, again this is just me getting a feel for this crossover, since again I'm going on a limb with this series hehe.
Okay Naruto's ability I will reveal each, not all but some, this is associate with his lineage in the story, including one surprising ability from a certain character, I did leave also a hint that would link it to that character, why cause where is the mystery in the story like those hard puzzle video games or something. Just know that Naruto is strong, but hey this is a world full of Gods and Goddesses. But he won't be OP, no probably at Kage-level, well Jonin if he decided to save Sally, but still strong then average and the reason is my plans for the story and you all will see it in the next chapter. As I said this is an AU of the story, like every Fiction story. And I am insane, maybe, okay half...one-fourth...yeah I'm going to stop there.
The Harem is limited to only ten, since that is my minimal bottom line harem. I know that is not too big and not too small just in the middle okay. Two that are already in are Moxxi (Borderland series) and Fem-Kyuubi (Kurumi). Rhea in the harem, okay maybe in another interpretation of the story since I've set it up to her being his maternal figure here, I'm all up for Incest really I am cause its fiction and I know some, won't judge only accept, so yeah.
Also I already have plans for Sally in case you people decide for Naruto save her, won't say I'm leaving it up to you my fans.
And I re-uploaded the other chapter since I have now a Beta reader Ketsuoni-check his page out- so check them out.
Thank you all for your support on my stories, much more to my regulars and loyal readers, I know who you guys are thanks, so please continue would you kindly?
