*Naruto POV*

My name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze the son of the fourth Hokage Mina Namikaze, the mortal shell of the Primordial Goddess of the Night Nyx, and Kushina Uzumaki; Princess of Uzushiogakure, daughter of Hestia and legacy of Aphrodite, legacy of the six original Olympian and second generation Olympian, Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi No Kitsune and her boyfriend to both her and with the ever eccentric Madeline Mox or Mad Moxxi A.K.A the blood Queen, master to Soul Edge and Soul Calibur, and user of the legendary Dōjutsu the Rinne-Sharingan, and finally former Shinobi of Konoha No Soto.

And currently I am training one Thalia Grace, daughter of the lord of the sky and King of Olympus, I pity him with the amount paperwork that he has with, well not as much as Hades, Zeus. "Is that your best?" I mocked, getting a growl of annoyance. "Common, show me what the so-called demi-daughter of Zeus can do." I challenge.

"Oh I'll show you," she growled out and charges at me.

Of course it was reckless but the form I taught her should help with that, a variation of Jūken or Gentle fist – a move design to strike the chakra points of a ninja, which I recreated and redesign to strike the vital and pressure points of the human body, and made used of three key factors – agility, flexibility, and awareness. So far Thalia has grasped the basics, considering we haven't stopped training and I lost track of how long I was in Limbo.

But I manage to keep her at a distance and slowly tire her. The easiest way was to make her frustrated, which I succeeding it. Though to be honest she is doing quite well, for a beginner that is, and using only the basics, so props to her, "stop moving," she huffed out.

I rolled my eyes at how many cliché movies I watch and heard that line, "it beats the purpose of training if I simply allow you to hit me." I shifted my stance a bit and gestured towards her. "Now if you have the energy to whine, then you have the strength to fight…again." She lets out another battle cry and charge at me.

It has been four days since arriving at camp half blood and things have been progressive, to tell the very least. I've got to know and trained my siblings. Some a bit more than others and an example of this is Annabeth. She wished to learn everything she can about Fūinjutsu seals and I agree to teach her, but from the very basics of it. I was able to unlock everyone's ability to use chakra by help expand the coils inside of their body – they've already trained their body so it wasn't a difficult of a task. I had speculated on it with my clan's history and the connection with Demigod ability and found out that it was similar in nature and a quick examination of Moxxi's body shows proves that Demi-beings do have chakra coils, albeit small and less develop ones but none the less, and all I had to do was tweak the seal I made to safely expand it for them to use chakra.

This also gave us a chance to bond and to know each other, and I must say Annabeth is an exceptional student and a bit of teacher pet, but it was cute.

Though I wasn't the only one bonding with the daughter of Athena, I.E the yet to be claimed, son of Poseidon. To make it short Annabeth was teaching Percy Greek myths or anything, and that's everything, he misses or chooses to miss, in class. A part of me wanted to make sure nothing bad happens to Annabeth. But another part of me wanted to see if they would couple up, and it was rather confusing.

So I decide to stay away and let nature take its courses.

Aside from seals I also taught her a Taijutsu that utilizing her speed and agility by attacking the certain nerves and points in the body, it's a style which can only be done if someone has an extensive knowledge of the human anatomy and it works, and unsurprisingly she has knowledge off. Second was a Bukijutsu that is a branch of my personal weapon technique, perfect for someone of her kind of body build.

I wasn't really surprised that she quickly learned the basics stances and movements, that or I'm a better instructor than I thought. Well, aside from seals she did want to learn Kage-Bunshin No Jutsu but given the requirement need she wouldn't be able to learn a deadly technique.

Sad for her as the Jutsu require a large amount of chakra, something she lacks.

Though Annabeth wasn't my only student, that included Percy, there was Clarisse wanted to learn my Bukijutsu style or weapon technique. I told her this one of my self-personal style and specifically made for me but proposed to teach her a style that fitted her. Either with using a sword or a spear, heh got to love shadow clones, key factors to use with this particular style were speed, agility, sharp-reflexes, strength and finally power. It is a style of overpowering your opponent with a flurry of quick and decisive strikes, and so far she's doing well, but she still has a long way to go.

'I feel bad for her Sibs.' I thought as I dance around the daughter of lightning, but Thalia almost had me on several occasions which showed her progression with our training. "Seems like I have to teach you how to dance next," I teased and happy that she didn't let it bother her, getting frustrated in battle would be very costly. I flip backwards as she closed the distance between us and was about to deliver a strike, but instead she was sent stumbling slightly backwards by one of my tails – it took time to explain how I got my fox features, surprisingly or not she took my new features well and to my dread asked if she could pet one of my tails.

I'll never understand the female mind when it comes to certain things and I'll probably never will.

Next was Silena, she asked to learn some combat training. Now as I know, she took training a bit more seriously than Moxxi's other siblings so I have no problem training her, but I had to ask my brunet girlfriend first and was happy that she allowed me – given that she personally wanted to train her sibs on her own.

So I taught her a fighting style that would utilize her flexibility and agility, a style that Anko taught me – Gods I miss her – back when she used to train me in Taijutsu and Ninjutsu. I could compare it somewhat, to the Kung-Fu style crane, Mantis, and Snake, which I modified to only concentrate on its key characteristics.

I characterize the style with being swift, agile, balance, and deceptive; concentrating on the soft and vital parts of the body, using only a limited subtle movements and short burst of power into a single strike while keeping your opponent at bay and in easy striking range. The style requires a person to be balanced, flexible, good body coordination, and finally patients.

Silena got the hang of the basics, but mastering it or even advancing to the next step would and will take time.

As any of the styles, I was teaching, what the campers wanted to learn some martial arts they knew or seen on the television. Some styles I know and practice, nearly mastering it with the help of my shadow clones. Though each cabin member did have a preferred style to combat and stuck with it, so I wouldn't be surprised to see some camper using the same style in a spar.

Well at the very least I could give them an idea or teach them the basics of the martial arts, and once they have a grasp of it, they could learn the style further from some Dojo or fighting school here in America. And aside from Taijutsu I've also taught them how to use elemental Ninjutsu, which took a whole day, they were fine with it as the benefit would be worth it skipping classes. It took half of the morning for them to unlock their elemental affinity, or for other their Kinesis, the whole afternoon to grasp the basics of nature transformation and the whole evening for finally use D-rank to low C-rank Jutsu.

A very hectic Tuesday, yup stretching the phrase: a lot of things can happen in a day.

That and I work fast and my Fūinjutsu seals helped with their physical development, not to mention Chiron and Dionysus-Jiji temporarily suspended the camp's usual schedule really helped, the latter really surprised the campers for some reason and I don't really know why thought.

This did not mean I've been neglecting my training, Order and Chaos no, during the morning and during my free hour I would always train inside and outside my mindscape with my two Sentient partners and my mate. Part of the train was my usual routine; Kenjutsu, Bukijutsu (weaponry techniques), Taijutsu, and Ninjutsu. The only added difference is unlocking some of the Rinne-Sharingan individual ability.

The Rinnegan abilities were slightly easy due to Kurumi's knowledge on the Dōjutsu. Unlocking the Sharingan abilities, on the other hand, is proving a bit more difficult and that was not counting its default ability. So my mate suggested that I should master the Rinnegan's ability first and work on the latter ability second, as she reminded me that the abilities would present itself on its own.

Progress to be expected is severely slow, but through trial and error, I was able to unlock one of the ability of the legendary eye: The Gudōdama or truth-seeking balls, spheres of malleable black chakra compose of all five nature transformation and Yin-Yang Release. Each about the size of a fist, can change shapes or form, and has the power to completely obliterate anything.

The Gudōdama functions as a type of technique that is always on standby, rather than activating from nothing, each of the orbs created can be individually manipulated at will. It can be used for both defensive, as it can block all forms of chakra or non-chakra attacks, and offense, as it can turn anything or anyone to dust. The only drawback as it has a set amount and can only be control within a seventy meter of their location, if the opponent/s someone separates them from the user by transporting them elsewhere than the ball would disintegrate and lost to the user, less he or she can create a new set.

And currently I can only maintain four to five at best as I still lack control in maintaining the technique, so until I could fully master or got a handle of it, I won't be using it anytime soon or until the situation calls for it.

Another breakthrough I've had is with my some sub-elements that I manage to learn; such as Ranton Jutsu/Storm Release, a combination of lightning and water nature, Followed by Yōton Jutsu/Lava Release a simultaneous combination of fire and earth nature, and finally Kōton Jutsu/Steal Release a combination of three elements which consisting of earth, fire, and water in a certain amount. 'Mental note, check if any of Hephaestus children has a Kōton or Yōton Kekkei Genkai/Bloodline limit.'

But it wasn't all training; yesterday I began working on Moxxi's new weapons with Nyssa and Charles, along with other projects with the other sons and daughters of the smith God. It felt great and I got to finish some light, but sturdy armor. While getting to know each one, lively bunch they are, just like Apollo's and Hermes' kids.

Speaking of Hermes kids. I made a few, some, progress in chipping whatever hatred Luke has, because I did not want him to end up like Sasuke and kill him in the most accidental brutal way possible – seriously where was this need for brutally killing someone? But yeah progress, seriously the kid has some serious anger issues that he needs to lay and let out, was slow I'll get him to let go of his hatred, slowly.

Frequent if it wasn't training with Elysium and Inferno, overseeing project and certain contract mission, the sensitive ones, I spent most of my free time with either/both Moxxi and Kurumi, the former I would pull alongside me to my mindscape as this way the two could also bond and become close friends, or in my nine-tailed mate's term harem sisters, rather than at each other's throats. And training Dust in aerial combat, infiltration, and recon.

I smiled, as I dodge and back-hand Thalia's strikes, recalling the progressive four days I've done. "Good, you've been practicing without me." I praised.

She scuff at that, "Not like I have anything else better to do, heck before you arrive I did a couple of exercises and imagine myself practicing with a weapon just to pass the time," She said, with a hint of sourness in her voice.

Frowning formed at her words and a sigh was released, I still haven't yet figured out a way to fully heal her. Even after I used the seal, her body was damaged internally – several broken bonds, three crack ribs, spinal damage, kidney and liver damage. "Thalia, I will find a way to help I swore to the Styx I would," I stated firmly.

She smiled a bit, "Thank you, but if…" I swiftly cut her off, "No if, I will find a way. I'm an Uzumaki; we tend to make the impossible, possible." I said and soon started to fade.

"I'll see you later then and thanks for keeping me company, and the training." She brought me into a warm, as I assume, hug. I nodded and reciprocate, "Yeah, later." The lasting thing I said before leaving limbo but woke up not in the real world rather in my inner world and face-to-face with the spiritual form of Soul Calibur.

"Elysium-chan, have you discovered why Kakashi eluded mine and Kurumi's ability to sense negative emotion or is there a reason to his betrayal."

The blonde shook her head in a no, "Your memory has proven that Kakashi-san had no negative intention and was genuine in his feelings of being an ally to you, Naruto-sama."

I nodded to that and rub my chin, "So, someone caused this. Someone had managed to get the drop on Kakashi and forced him to try and kill me. The question is who and why."

"Unless if we asked Kakashi-san himself, which is impossible given what happen, than we are in the dark and the identity of the person remains hidden."

I sighed in frustration and wondered if I could use that forbidden Jutsu, 'No.' I told myself as I will not sink that low. "For now we will drop the matter." I stated before continuing, "Is there anything else you need?"

"Naruto-sama could you possibly find a way to link your mind with Thalia-san, this could at least increase her progression with training," Elysium bluntly asks as soon as I arrive at my mindscape.

I hum in thought about that, "I'll look into it, why getting tired of me already?" I said with a mock hurt voice, "NO…I-um mean no, I'm only express in wanting to help the girl." She quickly said.

I chuckled slightly, "Relax I'm only joking…are Kurumi and Inferno still asleep." At her nod, I shook my head having to expect that already, "Oh well, we'll talk later Elysium." I said.

"Of course Naruto-sama, you have important things to do." I gave her an apologetic look, which she waved off in understanding. "Thank you Elysium, I promise to return when I can," I said and left my inner world.

*Regular POV*

Naruto opens his eyes and spots his girlfriend, "Dare I ask why you have a rope with you Moxxi?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. Said brunette snaps her finger, making a click sound, and look dispelled. "Snap and here I thought I had more time to tie you around the tree and ride you like a horse." She actually frowned at her plan was foiled.

Dust cawed in a mocking way and Moxxi glared at the black bird for that, "Shut up, before I decided to fry your ass," she promised menacingly.

The boyfriend blink one, twice, then said in a whisper for only her to hear. "You do know Thalia can, despite her situation, hear you right?" The blond had told her about the demi-daughter daughter of Zeus and her situation, he wasn't about to keep secrets from her, and the condition she was in.

Moxxi smiled coyly. "Give a girl something to fantasies about," she stated before adding in afterthought, 'as I'm sure she already developed a crush and a liking to you.' The daughter of the goddess of love wouldn't have surprised by that, nor, would she be angry at her boyfriend. It was in his nature, at least to those who knows him truly, to help other people if they deserve or really needed help. That and in some shape or form Naruto understands her pain of loneliness and knows how to mend such pain, if only just.

By giving heartwarming and honest affection, not in a piteous way mind you.

'One of the many reasons I love this dense blond.' She mentally smiled to herself, 'Hmm if she's an okay person I wouldn't oppose on sharing, gives a chance to act on my other fantasies fufu.' She giggled.

Some people would from and disagree with polygamy and Moxxi honestly could not give a fuck about their opinion, just look at a certain religion and in some history books that depicted that polygamy was an accepted marital practice. 'Honestly people today are too prudish,' the sadistic beauty huffed.

While Moxxi was in her own thought her boyfriend just shook his head amusingly, he had expected this from her and he was okay with that. Being in a relationship means to accept and understand your partner, faults and all. This is why one must get to know about a person before getting into a relationship, 'sad fact about society today.' The nine-tailed Jinchūriki thought in disappointment as both sexes of humanity seems to simply want to shackle up or hook up without even knowing each other first and when the bad or worst comes out…well the number of dead and abandon children tell a dark toll.

He pushed those thought aside. "We just did it last night," Naruto whisper so only Moxxi could hear as he stood up, and unknowingly snap the brunet out of her thoughts. "And early on today at your insistence, and if it weren't for my silent seals Percy and Grover would have heard us," The unclaimed son of the sea and satyr were currently been staying at his cabin, bunk bedding at the second room.

"Nothing wrong with showing physical love with the person you love and don't act like you didn't enjoy it Foxy," Moxxi said with a gleeful smirk of their late night activity. "And it's not like either boys are unaware of our sessions, but if you are that worried than just give them the talk." She laughed mentally imagining their reaction.

Naruto on the other hand looked a bit awkward about that and made a mental note to strengthen the lock and silent seals around the master bedroom. "Well, Piss pot more than furry legs, given how old the goat is," Moxxi added, using her nicknames for the two kids as she sees them.

That got a slight chuckle out of her boyfriend, as they made their way back to camp. "So how are they progressing with the simulation?" Naruto asked.

"Surprisingly, they scored above average. Their team work has improve quite, they've learn how to coordinate their attacks against those holographic model constructs your little group made."

"You've figure I had help eh?"

Moxxi playfully scoff. "I am your girlfriend after all," She said in a matter-of-fact tone. "Though, you would think Chiron or more importantly Mr. D – given how he was an Uzumaki in his mortal past life – would had figure out that you made those three-dimensional, Holographic dummies with a little help from Annabeth and her siblings."

The models were design with a special seal that would replicate the mannerisms, habits, reaction and action of a monster thanks to the recordings and extensive studies done by Cabin six all catalog in books and scrolls. It was the main purpose was to further teach the other campers about their enemy and develop their lack of teamwork, which is severely lacking. To motivate them, her boyfriend had place a seal that would design to trigger the pain receptors of the brain and on the nerve glands of the body to recreate the sensation of being cut, punch, kick, burn, etc.

"Well, if you figured it out I'm sure they will too."

"Ah, but I have the advantage of knowing you." Moxxi pointed out. "And it wasn't all that hard to figure out she had a hand in making those models, given how excited the little Brainiac was." She added it was practically written all over Annabeth's face.

"Oh she was just happy to learn more about Fūinjutsu and its near limitless applications, I say near-limitless as it is limited to the imagination." As far as Naruto was concern anyways, he hasn't fully delved into the Fūinjutsu scrolls he has hidden away and knew if he looked hard enough he would find a way to help Thalia and create a new barrier for the campers.

"Ahh yes, those Fūinjutsu are truly remarkable and great help with their physical development," Moxxi said happily, happy that her siblings didn't look like fragile twigs, "Some of my siblings has noted the changes to their body, especially the girls." She recalled that the girls of the camp had a more masculine yet still retains that soft, feminine build to accompany by near perfect hourglass figure. To them, it was simply puberty setting in and her boyfriend was more that content enough to let them believe that, Naruto is modest like that.

Naruto smiled proudly at his success. "I did design it for that specific task and I know your mother, and their parents, would approve." He nodded to himself.

"Of course they would, especially my mother. With the increase speed and strength why wouldn't they?" Moxxi said offhandedly.

"Though the only down side is the leers on both sexes." It was to be expected since the camp was made up of mostly hormonal teenagers, but her boyfriend made sure to add a hormone control to the seal, that and enforcing certain rules on any illicit acts with that demon mask of his.

Granted the blond did and does understand at their age certain…urges arises from both genders and he knew they would act on such urges. All he wanted was to make sure they wouldn't do something they'll regret later on. No need to rush things, a slow pace of earning someone's affection has a lot of benefits in the long run.

Someone had to be the responsible one and look out for each camper, which Chiron needed help with.

"But wouldn't your sixth apprentice be left out?"

"Not necessarily Moxxi," Naruto waved off before continuing, "Once I've finished the seal I'll combine it with the other seal to help condition her body to peak condition." He replied confidently, he wasn't going to fail Thalia like he failed the others.

This made Naruto's heartache in sorrow and regret, his girlfriend places a hand on his shoulder easing the pain he felt, if only a little bit. He smiled in thanks.

"I should start training, don't want to be left behind." She said jokingly, was she worried that she might get eclipse no – her boyfriend did trained her after all. "And I still haven't fully perfected my Gun Kata, well can't really train without my instruments." She sighs to herself.

"You're guns and the special seal should be done by today, and you can start training." Her boyfriend assured her making her smile wickedly. This made him step back, slightly, when he saw the gleam in her eye, he had seen it countless of times and it didn't end well for anybody…besides him of course. As for the seal, it was one his more complex ones as it would replicate the ability Banbutsu Sōzō (Creation of all things) but a downgraded version of the Sage's technique. Instead of creating sentient living being the Fūinjutsu seal creates inanimate objects, such as bullets made of celestial bronze.

The only catch is Naruto would need to program the seal with the composition of the item being made such as its weight, length, width, shape, texture, color – if needed, metal types, etc.

Heck it was only with the help from both Hephaestus' and Athena's children that Naruto was able a near perfect replica of a Celestial Bronze, near perfect since it would hold after three or four uses but his pseudo-siblings assured him that he could perfectly replicate the monster killing metal – Annabeth, Charles, and Nyssa at the front of this. 'Such nice sibs I have.' He happily thought.

Both couples approach the training grounds and saw their pseudo and actual siblings sparring, doing some chakra exercise, and practicing their fighting styles. Not to mention looking like they were preparing for the mortal Olympic Games judging by the build of each camper.

"My Fūinjutsu might have worked too well," Naruto whispered getting a nod of agreement from his girlfriend.

"Naruto-sensei, Moxxi-sensei," the campers greeted individual at the two with respect and slight fear.

"About time you two came back, especially you Blondie-sensei." Clarisse greeted. Her physical appearance change thanks to Naruto's seal in the last four day, she still had that muscular figure, but it balance out with her other soft feature. The daughter of war God commented that her build is like that of her favorite female fictional character Red Sonja, A.K.A The She-Devil with a sword.

Moxxi, of course, teased her: so are you going to start wearing nothing more than a battle bra and panties around camp. This, of course, got a lot of males and some females to fluster, no more so than Clarisse.

Even more so when Naruto commented that she would look good and it would further help the fighting style she's currently learning under her: It's one way to distract an enemy by using your sexual and attractive appeal; a lot of Kunoichi use this to their advantage to gather information and assassination. He said truthfully without even realizing his words, deepening her blush even more.

Also to mention she is also Naruto's fourth apprentice. First being Annabeth followed by Percy and third being Grover. "Good morning Naruto-sensei, Sister." Silena, Naruto's fifth apprentice, greeted. Just like her best friend she too had a physical appearance change, gaining a more feminine build and broader hips and an increase bust size, from a C-cup to a D-cup much like Clarisse.

"Yo Naruto, Moxxi!" Naruto's second and third apprentice called out with a smile on their face.

Percy, after some intense training and the seals effect, was more lean build and started to lose his baby fat gaining a slightly more muscular figure and height. Grover himself also look more build, for a satyr anyways, than Percy but that was because he had years of training and with additional help from their blond friend his muscle filled in nicely that more than one occasion eyes of certain dryads and nymphs.

Though Naruto knew his Caucasian friend there was only one girl he has the hots for.

Naruto inwardly grin and patted himself at a job well done. 'Yup, my seals are awesome.'

The blond son of the night greeted the two boys before he spotted his first apprentice, who like every other girl in camp also had a physical change. Slightly taller and a slender physique, yet if one would look closer they would spot some muscles on her body, thanks to the condition Naruto had done for the purpose of the fighting style he taught her, it required a person to be both flexible and agile while maintaining a level of strength for decisive and powerful force impact. Slightly wide hips and an increase bust size to a rather large C-cup.

All this physical changes is, once again, all thanks to Naruto extensive/slashes brutal training and the Fūinjutsu conditioning their bodies to it peek condition, without the consequence or deformities that could happen during physical conditioning. Such as catabolic state, excess cortisol (stress hormone) which can cause chronic disease, tears in muscle fibers, weakening immune system, heart stress, and insomnia, to list a few. But thanks to the seal's healing property and the herbal hot-spring bath none of the campers would experience to such bodily harm, not on Naruto's watch anyways.

It could be Hestia's influence, not that Naruto would mind, but the blond didn't want any harm to befall his pseudo-sibs.

"Naruto-sensei, Moxxi-sensei," the daughter of the wisdom Goddess greeted cheerfully.

Naruto nodded towards her and gestured for the other four to follow him to an open and wide area, near the beach area. "Today is a test, a simple test to measure how strong you five have gotten during the past four days and under my tutelage," his five students slightly stiff at the announcement, feeling slightly nervous. True they quickly grasp Naruto's personal technique – with the exception being Grover as he already had his own fighting style and it was only with Naruto's help that he managed to quickly learn the basics – and quickly adapted through hellish training. "Now let's start and remember come at me with the intent to kill," Their Sensei said after putting up a small barrier.

Clarisse charges in first with her spear weapon in hand and thrust it forwards. Naruto dodge the incoming attack and duck to the side at her quick follow up. Not giving her Sensei/crush a chance to recover from the attack she quickly spun around making sure the blunt end of her spear would meet her target, which was Naruto's head, unsurprisingly the blond jump backwards and she completed a one-eighty she thrust the pointed end forwards, lace with a bit of electricity.

This time Naruto block her attack with Soul Calibur, in her sword form. 'Inferno is still asleep?' he asked one of his most trusted companions.

"Unfortunately, one would think he'll be up for a fight, but it seems last night training session took a much more heavy toll than what you two originally thought." This made Naruto inwardly sigh, as he dodges a kick from Silena as she joins in with the daughter of the warmonger, he should have expected this. Much of Soul Edge's power was sealed off after both swords were lock away, so in hindsight testing Soul Wave – one of Soul Edge's ability – against Shinra Tensei/Heavenly Subjugation of the Omnipresent god – part of the Tendō/Deva path ability to manipulate gravity.

It worked, repulsing Inferno's technique back at him and causing massive spiritual damage. The technique has the ability to drain the souls of everyone in the area with the exception of his master or his avatar form, Nightmare or Night Terror. Her sister deduces it was a backlash and only left him drain, I.E tired since her brother hasn't fed on a soul prior to the time before sealing.

'When will he recover?' Naruto asked in concern for his sentient partner, side-stepping and rolling backward before deflecting a strike from Percy, Grover, and Annabeth.

"Hmm, he should-oh he's awake."

Inferno groan a bit, "Forgive me for my momentary weakness Master, I have not anticipated my own technique used against me," he growled out in displeasure.

Naruto inwardly sigh and deflected a combo from both Grover and Percy, causing them to stumble a bit. 'Do not forget that I have your sister's power flowing through my vain which could have contributed to your own technique damaging you.' He jump back before Silena and Clarisse could strike, and dodge a flurry of jabs from his fellow demi-daughter of the war Goddess, that were aim at his pressure and nerve points. 'You're sister is the only being that could destroy you and any weapon that has her energy can potentially damage you.' Naruto side step and backhand Percy, though the teen did come slightly close in scratching him.

"I suppose so." It lifted his spirit a bit at hearing his master's words, "Now let's test these kiddies worth of calling themselves our master's apprentice, dear Sister." Naruto block the daughter of love's double edge short-sword with Soul Edge. "Agree Brother," and deflected a stroke from Clarisse's spear, before kicking both girls back.

Naruto nodded in approvingly seeing as none of his personal students wasn't backing down and pleased that they have grasped the fighting style they've learned. "Are five done warming up?" at their nod he continue, "Good, now come attack me!" He half-expected to fall for that, half-expected, but his five students regroup and his highly sensitive ears pick up on Annabeth telling them a quick rundown of his weapon's ability. 'Good, they are learning to listen.' He drops down to a stance, one he would use for sparring sessions with Kurumi.

"How did you…"

"I overheard Moxxi-sensei comment when I happen to stumble upon the two of them training, Percy," Annabeth informed, cutting the sea-green eye teen off, before continuing. "Remember we need to disarm Naruto-sensei first before anything else, if we don't or fail to do so then I can already we've already lost." They nodded at her words.

"Master I still question why did you allow such information to be known to her?"

'It would make things a bit easier for them, plus they would have found out sooner or later.' Naruto mentally shrugs at Inferno's question, not at all concern about that tidbit of information being known. Some would claim it to be arrogance or be too confident, but those some who assume that don't know the blonde well enough.

"It is not that I'm worried, I just think it would be unfair to them to think they have a sort of advantage over you." Sounding more amuse than concern. Amuse that another would fall victim to his master mental traps by using the disadvantage to his advantage. This method was one way Naruto used to figure out his opponent's move and counter accordingly. It always works to instill a sense of falls security and confidence, especially if his opponent underestimates him, before striking them down in one blow.

The look of shock on their face was worth it. "I believe the word is, amusing hehe." Inferno chuckled in agreement, fools to think they could defeat his master.

'True, but I'm curious what Annie's plan is so I'll drop my guard down just a bit.'

"Out of humor, well for me anyways, what do you think her plan is Master?"

"I too am curious about the little one's plan as well, Naruto-sama?"

'They'll want to disarm me as soon as they can, so distraction with range attack…yup, I'm right.' Deflecting several arrows, 'they followed it up with an attack on three different angles while providing covering fire, making sure I stay on the defensive and not on the offensive.' He side step, duck, and dodges attacks from a downward slash from Percy, a roundhouse kick from Grover, and spear thrust from Clarisse, and from Annabeth and Silena's range attack.

'This way they can make an opening to disarm me, an excellent plan and one that would work if I were someone else,' the son of Nyx mentally nodded in approval at his fellow blonde's strategy and at their teamwork; he had stress on how important and valuable the last part is, during the past four grueling torture/training session. 'Clarisse is their heavy hitter; Percy and Grover are the forward and guard, so that leaves…' His train of thoughts was cut off by a sudden rush from both the yet-to-be claim son of Poseidon and the satyr.

'And this is why I keep my internal monolog to a minimal,' thought Naruto in slight frustration. He had to give them props at how in sync and coordinated their attacks and teamwork is. This made him proud, proud that they were learning to work together, trust each other, and learn to listen. Rather than just blindly rushing in for sake of hollow glory.

They managed to fake the teacher and allowed Clarisse an opportunity to strike. Naruto spun to the right, dodging the attack but was caught by Annabeth, 'two-step distraction by using the two forward and powerhouse allowing her to close the distance for an attack, nice tactic Annie.' The blond son of the night grunted as his fellow blonde stuck his shoulder points causing him to drop both weapons, the daughter of the wisdom Goddess suddenly duck down and Naruto was sent skidding backward by a kick to the chest by Silena.

'Well?' Naruto asked his two sentient partners after he stop a good three feet away.

"They'll do," They both grudgingly approve, admitting that the five do hold merit for being Naruto's personal students or maybe, just maybe, apprentices.

The campers cheered out and Moxxi nodded approvingly at how they manage to not only disarm Naruto but also land a good solid blow, sure her boyfriend is clearly holding back, but that was beside the point and not what his test meant. "Looks like your lover is in a bit of a pickle, Sis," Drew said to her scary and sadistic older sister.

Moxxi rolled her eyes with a small smirk, "I wouldn't worry about him, Drew," the Asian beauty shrug knowing that her scary older sister knew more about the hunky blond than she did, well for now, what Moxxi did mention about sharing.

"He's holding back isn't he?" Luke asked all he got was a knowing smirk. "I see," the son of Hermes didn't sound all surprised by this, he knew his fellow blond was strong, but how strong that remains to be seen.

Moxxi spared a glance towards the son of the traveler God. She could see in his eyes a merit of respect, fear, a bit of jealousy, and doubt. She raised an eyebrow at the last part, 'maybe he's thinking of challenging Naruto.' She concluded and drops the matter, preferring to watch her boyfriend work.

Naruto nodded approvingly, "Impressive, you five manage to disarm me," He praised and knew his arms were useless for a short while, "Now can you keep the momentum going?" He suddenly shot forward and the five teens were on the defensive.

The first one was Grover, who tried to block the blond's attack, but to no avail. The satyr let out a painful groan around both his arms and his chest as he was sent crashing backward. Next was Percy who managed to wise up and got himself a good distance away from the blond, but his teacher manage to close the gap and the sea-green eye teen feel to the ground via leg swipe before letting out a grunt from a downward heel kick. "Ghhack!" Percy found himself next to his best friend as Naruto kick him to the side.

"Shit," Clarisse cursed out. "Annabel, Silena both of you check on Piss pot and Grover. I'll keep sensei distracted, this should give you time to come up with another plan princess." The daughter of the war said before rushing forward.

Both boys let out groans of pain, "Damn that hurt." Percy muttered rubbing his stomach, "Yeah it did." The Caucasian teen said in agreement as the two girls just go to them.

"Can you two still fight?" Annabeth asked, both male teens stood up and nodded. "Good because I need you two for something, hopefully, this could take down Sensei." Silena looked at her a bit unsure, knowing how strong Naruto is, but shrug it off in favor of trusting her teammate. "So what's the plan?" the daughter of love asked in a hurry, knowing that her friend might not last long.

Meanwhile, Clarisse was working a sweat as Naruto manage to dance, yes dance, around her attacks. She could feel her frustration boiling up but manage to control it knowing it would only mean her defeat if she gave into it. The brunette recognize that she was facing someone stronger than her, as much as it stings to admit that, and possibly more experience, so getting frustrated now would not do well for her or her crush's impression of herself.

She didn't know how or when she developed a liking to the son of the night. Did she regret it? No, she did not. He's strong, smart, handsome, and cool once you get to know him. If she would have to guess when she started developing small feelings for the blond male, it was during their training session, when he taught his self-made styles to her that she started to feel something around her stomach, but not in a bad way, and it bothered her. So she asked one of the members of cabin ten about this and Lacy quickly told her that she develop a small crush on Naruto.

But how could she not? He was so sweet and understanding, plus, he didn't even hesitate or even ask for something in return to learn one of his personal fighting styles and even going as far as teaching her personally.

Heck, even after he started teaching her best friend, Naruto always made time to teach them individually for the past four days. She had asked him why he didn't use his clone thing and he answered: sure I could have used a clone, but that would only damper the spirit of teaching and my chance to personally get to know you and everyone else.

Her dad may have on one occasion – when they visited Mount Olympus – he taught his sons and daughters how to recognize when a person is lying or in his words to recognize the bullshit, and Naruto wasn't lying at all.

'But he's taken, taken by Miss. Perfect,' thought Clarisse bitterly.

As much as she begrudgingly to admit, Moxxi is perfect, and that was besides being a daughter of Aphrodite. The brown haired bimbo has everything a girl would want! From her beautiful looks to her strength, and on top of that having a wonderful and faithful boyfriend, 'it's unfair now that I think about it.' Oh, she wanted to forget about this crush thing with Naruto, but dammit he made it so damn fucking hard!

Clarisse suddenly lets out a painful yelp and was slamming into a tree, "Pay attention." Her sensei scolded as he brought her spear down with his left foot before kicking her stomach with his right foot, "If I were your enemy I would have killed you for daydreaming, don't lose focus." He chinned sternly.

'And what is taking them so long to set up their plan.' The blond knew this was just a ploy and a distraction after all.

'Oh well,' in one swift motion Naruto flip the spear into the air and kick it into the tree where the daughter of war was leaning, imbedding the weapon just above her head, "If you have the time to daydream than you have the time to fight," The head counselor of cabin five nodded in fear and slight arousal, what? She has a thing for the dominating type and Naruto fitted being the alpha perfectly.

Naruto was about to move, but as soon as his right foot went forward it was suddenly caught by a lasso, a chained lasso, 'what the.' A little surprise by the sudden entrapment of his feet he slightly took a step back and found his left foot caught in a similar fashion, 'So they set this up when I was occupied by Clarisse, good, doing something unorthodox.' Honestly Naruto may have slightly underestimated Annabeth to think of using an all too simple plan, but then again there is strength simplicity.

Both Grover and Percy held the end of the chains making sure their sensei could not escape while Silena and Annabeth quickly molded their chakra as fast as they could.

Fūton: Kamikaze/Wind Release: Divine Wind.

Katon: Hibashiri/Fire Release: Running Fire.

The two Jutsu mixed together creating a single massive flaming hurricane, hurling towards Naruto. 'Impressive, a quick and easy collaboration Jutsu.' Channeling a bit of his chakra to his feet Naruto started spinning, sending both Percy and Grover flying off the ground, so fast that a dome suddenly forms. The flaming hurricane suddenly dissipates as soon as it made contact with the dome, surprising and shocking the on-lookers. "Don't look so surprise, Naruto simply manipulated the win around him by expelling a bit of his own wind nature chakra outward and coated the chains with water nature chakra, he used the chains as a medium to create a mist like dome – as mist is a combination of water and air," Moxxi said loudly enough for everyone to hear.

Annabeth frowned slightly, she should have anticipated something like this from her Sensei, but with limited amount, which translates to almost none, of information she took the gamble that they could at least stagger him with a collaborate technique, her sensei could easily survive being burned alive given his lineage and yesterday's fire incident in the forge – from what she heard it was because of the experimental Fūinjutsu gone slightly wrong that the fire started.

"You took of advantage of me being occupied and distracted by Clarisse and set up a quick, simple but ultimately effective trap/plan, points for thinking outside the boxes, team coordination, and teamwork." Naruto complimented.

His five students clearly heard the proud tone in his voice which got them smiles, "But don't think for a second this is over," He stated and went on the offensive.

The blond Jinchūriki flung the chains towards both Annabeth and Silena, they manage to dodge the first and narrowly avoid the second strike. 'The chains may have been a slightly bad idea to use,' thought the daughter of love. 'Yup very bad,' her sensei began at what she could only describe as a sort of dance, with each movement precise, perfectly timed, and masterfully executed. She would be at awe by this if it weren't for the fact those chains that flung around. It acted like his weapon and his shield, deflecting any sort of attack.

Annabeth on the other hand was at awe, at real awe. She shouldn't be, but she is. 'He's at full control of the fight,' in a single instant her fellow blond manage to not only control the field but lock and kept all of them on the defensive. He was moving in a way that kept them all at a distance and at an arm's length for him to easily strike with those unpredictable and irrational moves. 'If I didn't know who his parents are I certainly thought of him as a son of Athena and my actual brother.' She thought.

Percy, like Annabeth, was also at awe. 'It's like straight out of Sci-fi or comics! Or DBZ!' mentally shouted the black haired teen. Heck, some of the things Naruto did where either from his favorite show, from a comic he actually read – or what he preferred to read, or from a Sci-fi. Hell, he was living Sci-fi fantasy, albeit with a dark start.

So lost in thought that he failed to notice the chain and was struck by the metal object, it hurt for sure, but not as much as Percy would have expected – unbeknown to the teen, Naruto had covered the chains with water and wind chakra to slightly cushion the impact. "Pay attention! Honestly, I thought I beat that small attention span out of you?" he heard Naruto sigh, "I guess I'll have to do it again, here." He gulps when those words left the blond's mouth and pried that he'll survive the thrashing/torture/training.

Percy block, dodge, deflect, jump back, roll back, and repeat each movement to avoid the chains – which were a near blur right until it was inches away from his face or other body parts. 'Shit,' the last attack and miss judge his footing causing him to fall back. He had no time to react and he braced, but the attack never connected.

"Percy, cut the chains now!" Exclaimed Grover as he was able to just barely block the chains with his hands. His friend did not need to be told twice and was just about to that, but Naruto was a step ahead of the two and lightly tug on the chains. The sea-green eyed teen's blade was just inches away from his friend's backside. "Good, you're reaction time is spot on," the blond could have easily pulled back at the last possible second, but this was just a test and not an actual battle.

In a quick instant, Naruto was already in front of them and gave them only a second to react before he wraps both teens with the chains, "Two down, three to go."

"I don't know Sensei, one leg and no arms sounds a bit difficult even for you," Annabeth commented with an unsure voice about how her Sensei was about to fight them.

"First rule in the art of war: Never underestimate your enemy," he chinned and added, "especially if that person is your sensei," Both Percy and Grover scream out as they were used like blunt object, which right now they are. The girls manage to dodge and hold back a giggle or a laugh, the crowd…not so much, no.

Embarrassing, yes most definitely yes, but it gives them both male teens a sense humility and a reason to train more. There is that old saying: Humility through humiliation.

So here they were being flung left and right like a ping-pong ball while the girls struggle to avoid not only the two tied up the duo but the other chain as well. "While, on one hand I commend you, Grover, for saving your teammate and that quick thinking of yours, you should have instead pulled on the chains rather than cut it. And Percy, you're footwork still needs a bit more practice." Naruto lectured the two dizzy teens, who both manage to give a thumb up before he undid the chain.

"In the two's defense I did drag them around like a rag dolls, so their current state is to be expected." The sensei quickly said in both Percy's and Grover's defense. Plus both were fighting him, granted Naruto is holding back on them but that was beside the point, and he had more experience over the two teens in combat. "Now enough with this idle chatter, now, defend!" he suddenly charges forward, once again taking the offensive rather than his usual defensive style.

The girls spread out to give them more space away from the blond teacher and to prevent being captured. Something Naruto inwardly appraised them for as much as he did with his two, still, knock out students, but with his style of combat it does give him an edge on the battlefield, "Ahh superior control with a variety of wild yet precise and timed controlled attacks, see I told you would like dancing hehe." The voice of his demoness mate suddenly rang out, as well as a yawn indicating she just woken up from her –dub – beauty nap.

'Yes, your definition of dance involves twirling around while decapitating the enemies with a series of nearly unpredictable moves; ones that induces awe and fright.'

Kurumi only giggled, "It adds more character and dancing is something of an enjoyable pass time of mine when I used to walk among these monkeys." She sighed fondly at the memory of her wonderful audience she left in awe with her performance; they simply drop down on their knees with gaping jaws, red stained tears, and rolling heads in site of such great spectacle.

Her mate rolled his eyes and could practically see the look she had on her face without needing to enter his mindscape, he simply knew her that much, that and she was just dramatic like that – well most people are nowadays.

Naruto duck to the side from a spear thrust from the demigoddess of the war God and knee her in the gut, making gasp out, and followed up with a kick to the side. The brown eyed teen glared daggers at him for that, he responded with a mischievous smile and wink, "Need to be more firm and faster than that Rue-chan." He teased.

Rue lit up a slight pink hue at the way her name just seem to flow out from his mouth like silk, she mentally slap herself from getting flustered, 'Get it together dammit.' She let out a small growl and promptly charge at her teacher.

"Well, roar to you too," he chuckled in responds and raised an eyebrow when Silena got behind him, '…nope, I am not even going to say it,' he was sure that either Inferno or Kurumi would make a comment on what he was just about to say. Naruto started spinning around causing a small dust cloud to appear, Annabeth realizing her fellow bonds plan try to warn both girls, keyword try, but was cut off before she could do so by several rocks that she had to deflect.

'He knew I would realize the attempt and quickly stop me before I could warn them,' she mentally concurred and scowls as she knew it was too late to save either of her teammates now.

Both Daughter of war and love blink for a second, a second, and suddenly found chains around their hands and faces planted on the ground, 'how?' they mentally question, unknowingly, in unison.

"While it is an understandable response both of you should have jumped out of the way and quickly realize what I was planning," Naruto chinned as he did make his intention slightly obvious. He mentally manipulated the earth around him to make stone cuffs to hold both teens firmly on the ground, "And there was only one." He gazed at his first student.

"Bring it."

The master and partner of the souls grin at her and decided to play her game, curious what his top student – well one Thalia being close to that as well – thought up. "But let's be honest you've anticipated what she'll do, didn't you?" Kurumi asked in a rhetorical tone.

'That's the thing; I didn't, not at all.' At her silence he clarified, 'I could have and probably would have, but she is my student albeit for four days, but that is beside the point. She has, like her fellow classmates, adapted quickly to my teachings and being a daughter of the wisdom and war Goddess – and I have quite possibly one hell of a warrior, who hasn't fully matured and lacks experience.'

Kurumi hum, "I can see you're point and it does hold merit, but her flaw will holder her back – as much as it would your other students Koi, not to mention yours as well." She added in afterthought, knowing full well the pros and cons of her mate's fatal flaw.

Naruto begrudgingly nodded in agreement, something he couldn't change as it is part of their personality. 'Unfortunately each and every one of them, campers and Moxxi included, has something holding them back – whether that be a fatal flaw or physical limitation. But then again it makes them imperfect, this gives them a chance to improve and change.' He thought.

"By the way, Koi, why haven't you used your tails?"

'Eh, it would beat the purpose of testing how well they have adapted to the drills, my one-on-one training session, and my seals effects. And to see which areas they need improving – what better way than with a mock spar session?'

"True enough, I guess. I won't question how you do what you do, if I did I probably would be scratching and banging my head up against the wall if I did – you Uzumaki's were known to be on the crazy/insane side of things." The best example she could come with was Kushina and Mito, and the random thing they've done when they were alive, mostly when it came to pranking and/or seals – good majority of it was the former, Uzumaki love making mischief and chaos, with the lateral being a close second. "Well while we are on the subject, or back to it, what do you think the little blonde girl plan is?" Even though she knew the answer, Kurumi really just asked out of boredom.

'Well, Annabeth has gotten the basics of the Bukijutsu I thought her so she'll…yup, it seems she's going for it.' His fellow blonde unsheathed two double sided short sword that can connect to form an eight-foot long double sided pole weapon, this weapon gave her close-to-long range attack while maintaining the speed and agility that comes with the Bukijutsu style he thought her. 'Now show me how well you've learned that technique I've thought you, Annabeth,' he mentally encourage.

The spectators watch in silence as the two blonds circled around each other waiting for either to make the first. Suddenly both combatants charge at each other and Naruto was first to strike and got close to knee his fellow blonde in the stomach, if it weren't for his extensive exercises that help increase both her awareness and reaction time Annabeth would be throwing up and moaning and groaning in pain.

Seeing as his apprentice managed to dodge his attack, he quickly twist his body and brought his left leg forward for a roundhouse kick, the daughter of the war Goddess bent back to avoid it and cross her arms to block a back-kick and quickly jump backward avoiding the downward axe-kick – the force was enough to cause a large spider web like crack on the ground. 'As anticipated, even with the restrictions seals, his arms still numb form my previous attack, and him holding back, Sensei, he's still quite strong, but I cannot let that deter me.' She mentally encourage herself.

She made her plan, she knows the stakes, and she knows how strong her opponent is. 'I can do this,' the blonde pushed herself forward while Naruto was still reeling. Seeing this, the sensei ark his body to the right and threw his left foot side-wards causing the chains attack to it to whip forward. But Annabeth already had deduced this and did a double take; twisting her body under than over while simultaneously cutting the chain down a length. 'Got to thank Silena for those acrobatic and flexibility lessons,' she mentally noted to help the daughter of the love Goddess with her summer homework in payment for the lesson and quickly duck under at her sensei's quick follow up.

Naruto spare a single glance at the left side for a second before turning his sites back at his student. 'Well, now that's useless. Might as well stick to close quarters combat and surprise her with my right chain and see if she can react quickly enough,' he mused in thought and dashed forward, rushing at her as he did.

Annabeth quickly got into a defensive stance and concentrated on defending alone, why? She knew that it would be futile to try and keep up with Naruto at CQC, 'I'll have to whether down the storm and wait for an opportunity to present,' she lean back and jump avoiding a roundhouse kick and a leg sweep, she gasp out feeling the air slightly knock out from her being sent backward up in the air but manage to recover, 'Okay, that hurt.' She had no time to recover as her sensei was already in front of her. Mentally cursing, the blonde tried her best to avoid the barrage of kicks and sweeps, and it proving to be increasingly difficult to do.

Over by the side lines Moxxi hum in thought, 'Doing well so far, but she can't keep this up for much longer,' she surmised and heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Annabeth doing well, all of them did." She glanced back and saw the trainer of hero smiling proudly and a bit sad.

And the daughter of love knew why, "Chiron, majority of the reason they've been doing so well was because of your teaching." She whispered so only the centaur could hear, "You've give them the tools and the means of getting strong to fight and to survive, you should be proud of that." She finished with respect evident in her voice for the, admittedly, guardian of Demi-beings.

"Thank you, Mr. Moxxi." He said, "I only wish I could have done more with those we lost."

Moxxi said nothing about that and knew the pain of regret and lost, "The only thing we can do for the dead is to remember them the life they live so they won't fade away into oblivion and keep moving forward for their sake, living life for them." She quoted.

"Such wise and great words, Ms. Moxxi," Chiron said with a nod.

Her lips curled into a small smile, "It should, after all." Eyes never leaving her boyfriend, who had taken into the air and dive down, before saying, "It's his words after all."

Back to the fight, Annabeth's knees nearly buckled down blocking her sensei's weight and sheer force of his attack. 'Patience, Annabeth, patience. An opportunity will show itself, just be patient.' She told herself, suddenly the air was knock out of her and nearly lost her breakfast as she was kicked backward, but manage to recover, barely. From the corner of her eyes, she spotted the chains about to either strike her or capture her, reacting quickly she flip over and cut the chains. Not missing a beat and seeing the opportunity she's been waiting, Annabeth quickly rushes towards Naruto with adrenaline fuelling her, helping her closed the gap and in striking distance.

'Huh, so she waited until a moment appears for her to strike and switch on the offensive, good.' He mentally praised as simply rushing in would be foolhardy and stupid, diligence and self-restraint are key aspect when fighting and especially against someone who is stronger than yourself; watch, learn, and wait. Words that people today tend to forget to do in battle and in war, as he found out when help in a civil-war, 'Hope Mei-san and the others are doing well.' He pushed sentimental thoughts back as a sword rip through his white shirt exposing his upper body to the word, which earn a lot of cat calls, not that Naruto would know.

"Oh my, here I thought I'm the only one who likes playing it rough with a fine man like Naruto or did you simply wish to take a more…tasteful look, I know they would," referring to the females campers currently ogling her boyfriends chiseled chest and tone muscles, smirking she continue. "Take it in, girls; take it all in, because that's all you can do fufuf." Moxxi giggle like a sly vixen that she is at seeing their glares and expressions.

Annabeth blinks twice and shook her head, snapping herself out of the small daze she was in, 'Ugh great, I nearly got distracted.' she though frustratingly and to make matters worse, the heated blush evident on her face, 'Argh, stupid blond pretty boy…wait! I did not just thought that,' mentally panicking that she might have develop an attraction towards her sensei.

Naruto watch in both fascination and mostly confusion as his student's face lit up like a flashbang grenade for some unknown reason, "Annabeth, are feeling alright…did I um, kick you too hard?" he asked with his head slightly tilted sideways in a puzzled expression. Then he heard the roaring laughter of inferno, a face palm, and a long sigh, 'what?' he asked his three tenants only to be meet with an even louder laughter from his bloodthirsty sentient partner and muffled words from both Kurumi and Elysium.

Mentally slapping herself for getting flustered she nodded, "Yes, just a bit light headed." She answered and pressed for the attack, slashing rapidly and meticulously, making sure that no movement or moves were wasted with each strike and thrust of her sword.

'Good, she's got the basics down to a Tee.' He mentally praised before his narrow critically, 'But the movement, while prime and perfect, is flawed in a predictable way. This will certainly not do, not at all.' The reason why this particular style was so effective was because of its quick, fluent, and most importantly its unpredictability.

'I can't fault her, she only recently learn the Bukijutsu of mine and had only gotten the basics down. But with time and training I'm sure she and my other students will master the techniques I've taught them.' He didn't need assure himself as he had without a shadow of doubt in his mind that his students will succeed. 'I wonder, were this the same feelings the old man had for his students or Chiron's?' wondered the blond.

From Annabeth's perspective she clearly saw a flash of emotion in Naruto's eyes, the same emotion Chiron would have when a camper accomplishes a quest or a lesson. But before she could think on what exactly they were, her fellow blond had already charge at her and was at striking distance. She prepared to block his left strike, it was a fake, and she felt the air knock out of her as she was lifted, slightly, into the air, 'Guard!' Fighting through the pain she lifted her left arm up, cushioning the blow that sent her flying to the side.

Purely out of instincts and her Demi-battle reflexes, Annabeth stab her sword down on the ground halting her flight, 'That close.' She breathe out a sigh of relief, 'Had I not reacted when I did, that last attack would have knock me out or slammed me on that tree behind me.' The wisdom child felt grim at how close she was too defeat, but this didn't came as a surprise to her as this sort of thing was to be expected and it only shows that she needed to more attentive and focus on the fight.

She tried to stand upright and found that she couldn't, 'stun!?' she wince feeling a spark of pain run through her body confirming her suspicion, 'That last attack was…' realization hit her and growled out in frustration realizing that she has lost.

"You've realized that my last attack was meant to disorient and stun by first striking the transverse plane and follow by the coronal plane, even if you manage to cushion with your left arm the damage has already been done. Though, compliments on recovering when you did." Naruto nodded in approval before walking towards the barrier and smashed it like glass with one of his nine tails.

As soon as the barrier like dome fell Naruto, with his fox-like trait in full display, gestured for the medical team to check on and wake his still down students. "My, you were certainly harsh." Moxxi commented with a please grin on her face.

The blond shrug and sat down, using his tails as a seat. "That's how Anko and Lilith-Kaa san used to train me…if not a bit harsher." He suppressed a shiver as memories of his sensei/former lover and adopted mother came surfacing back.

Moxxi, however, notice this and giggled. "The results were worth it my dear." She pecks his lips as she took up residence in his lap. "I know I'm thankful for it," emphasizing on his rock hard abs and broad chest, that she was currently leaning on contently.

Naruto chuckled, "I'm glad you're enjoying."

"Hmm quite," she discreetly grind her butt around his soften length – something the blond hope no one would take notice off, and thankfully no one did, he had two of his nine tails thank for that.

Selina let out a pained groan and shook the slight dizziness she was currently feeling, and she wasn't the only one. Her fellow students also felt pain throughout their respective body, headache, and dizziness upon waking up, 'Damn, Sensei really did a number on us.' She glanced towards said sensei and frown at the site of her older sister's current intimate position. 'Snap out of it girl! You've known him for only four days and one night,' mentally berating for feeling jealous.

She sigh and stood up, dusting herself was she did, and stood next to Annabeth waiting for the lecture that Naruto was about to give them on the result of their fight. 'Hopefully, we didn't do too badly,' the former cabin head of cabin ten thought in slight concern as she was confident they didn't blundered horribly.

Dejected, this is what emotion Naruto felt from his unique sense ability and this made him frown he felt similar emotion with his four other students. 'Oh boy, I might have gotten too far.'

"Gee you think? Honestly, what did you think would happen, huh, Naruto-kun?"

'Okay, okay, no need for that.' He said in surrender, 'But, it is not something that can't be fixed easily.'

"Yo have a point. Still, your tack still needs a bit more work if you truly plan to take this meatbags as your students."

Naruto said nothing to that; he knew where his faults lied. "You've all done…great, better in fact." That got their spirits to lift up, judging from the gleam in their eyes, as well as a surprised look. "You five look surprise? Did you forget the purpose of this test, a test for me to know how well you five had adapted to my training sessions? And I must say, aside from a few bumps, you all pass." Moxxi lightly tapped Naruto's shoulder, which was a message asking if they impressed his two sentient partners.

The blond replied with a smile, 'Not bad.' She thought as it was rather difficult to put on or leave a good impression before the two Spirits.

"You five learn to coordinate and work as a team, rather than as an individual, which resulted in me being disarm and on the defensive, very well done – do agree Chiron?" Naruto asked and the trainer of heroes nodded, clearly impress that they manage to work alongside each other and not butted heads.

This lifted their somewhat downed spirits and mentally admitted that they, individually, may have overreacted and may have forgotten the point of the exam. "Now, there are still things that needed improving and to be learn, but I'll reserve that for another time." He stated, feeling his phone, the business phone, vibrate. "For now, go hit the hot spring and recover. Everyone else continue training and follow the regiment I and Moxxi provided." He finished and gave Moxxi a look.

The brunette nodded and got off her boyfriend's lap allowing him to stand. "So, who called?"

Taking a look at his phone and so the number was from his hacker friend, "Seems our employer wants to meet, if it is what I think it is, then I'll need to contact B for the special package." He answered in a hush tone, none of the other campers know about his and Moxxi's side-job as mercs.

Moxxi faced turn serious at this, "I hope it is." This was related to an ongoing contract she and Naruto took an investigation of a known criminal syndicate group. A group responsible for multiple crimes of extortion, human trafficking, kidnapping, illegal smuggling, drugs, etc. "Maybe that guy, Amir, you captured had information on the syndicate group we've been searching for, like the head of the organizations name." she pointed out.

Naruto nodded, "It's possible, given his connection." He agreed and type a few number, and not a soon later a female voice answered.

N, good to hear from you. B greeted. The package is done and waiting for pickup, should I leave it somewhere or will you pick it up in person?

"Good to hear from you as well, B. And yes let's meet up at the usual place."

He heard a soft chuckle at the other end before she answered, I'll order up and put it on your tab.

"Sure, see you then." He said before ending the call and called another number. "Yeah it's me. I need a new car, black Hennessey venom GT, just drop it at usual place…good? Thanks."

Both couples quickly geared up and Naruto sent a shadow clone to inform Chiron, he had told the centaur about their occupation as mercenaries, they'll be leaving and would most likely return tomorrow. "Ready?"

His girlfriend mere smirk, currently wearing a black form-fitted shirt that clung to her like a second skin and slightly showed her slim-yet well toned stomach, dark-blue skinny jean, and high-heeled boots. "Yup," she answered and wrapped her arms around his left arm, "Let's go meet the pornstar-lookalike."

Naruto inwardly hope the two didn't another spat; the last one took hours before he finally had enough and put an end to their senseless argument. "Moxxi, be nice." He requested.

"I make no promises,"

The two suddenly vanished via teleportation seal he placed in several safe houses he has around America.

—END—

Author's notes – Hey everybody, sorry that it took this long to update. In my defense I was busy with work and school, which I don't need to remind all of you right? Now this chapter was a starting point for the lightning thief ark and another one contract mission, which I won't separate. This is also to show that Naruto has indeed been training the campers in utilizing their ability, which is a simple theory of mine for this story as I am still experimenting – remember this story is me getting a feel for the POJ crossover world – and opening on some possibilities, so please don't rage on why I'm having the campers use Chakra.

Again this is to even the odds, so to speak, when I introduce Ninjas from the elemental nation into the fray of the war, yes I am combining the plot of Naruto and POJ – well tinkering with it.

And let me point this out, Naruto and Moxxi are not actuall goverment agence, Both are freelance mercs - contractual mercs. And Naruto being in highschool was his cover

Now to the question, I am planning on adding characters from different series and have them as Demi-being, as some of the fan took my proposal and propose their characters, and I'm sure some of you have read the comment section of this story, but I'm asking all of you, should I X-over some characters, don't worry the limit will be five – either male or female.

If yes, then just type, well, yes and same goes for No.

Also, I need a Beta reader, anyone who interested just send me a PM or you all can recommend.

That is all, so please continue to support this story…would you kindly?
