A/N: Anyone who wants to do a story where the characters read 'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes' series is allowed to do so as long as they tell me before hand.

I don't own Percy Jackson series or Naruto series, or any of the characters of either series. Nor am I the writer of the Son of the Huntress series

Warning: Read these stories if you haven't before reading this story:

'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Lightning Thief'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Sea of Monsters'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Titan's Curse'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Battle of the Labyrinth'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Last Olympian'
'The Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Staff of Hermes'
'The Legacy of the Heroes of Olympus: The Lost Hero'
'The Legacy of the Heroes of Olympus: The Quest for Buford'

I'm going to make this clear to those who don't approve the idea of legacies in Camp Half-Blood.

One: If you actually looked into Greek Mythology you know there been plenty of Greek Legacies. Heck Frank's ancestors were Greek legacies before they joined the Romans.

Two: Time and time again in the Percy Jackson series they mention many famous names Rick Riordan used as demigods Greek Demigods reaching adulthood-George Washington, Amelia Earhart, F.D.R., General Sherman and many more-many of which had children of their own which would make their kids legacies.

Three: About Naruto not being wise enough to be a Legacy of Athena, keep in mind in future reference for any sequel fanfictions of Percy Jackson that when Percy and Annabeth have kids, if they have any of Percy's personality they might not have much interest in school and thus not show much of any of Athena's wisdom. So I should have a pass on the matter with Naruto because of that fact.

Four: Since I made Naruto a legacy of Athena through Minato, he can't have any connections with the Romans as for any god/goddess, Olympian or Minor to have a legacy they must have children who later grow up to have children of their own. Minerva doesn't have kids, and it been clear before the return of Athena's Parthenos the idea of the matter was saw as a disgrace to the Romans as it meant Minerva broke her vow in their eyes. Not to mention the fact that the feud between Greek and Romans was kept alive for so long because of Athena.

Also for anyone who thinks it be okay having a child/Legacy of Artemis or Hestia to meet the romans, although Diana or Vesta wasn't treated any worse from their Greek counterparts as the comparison of Athena and Minerva, keep in mind they also made a vow to not have any kids, and since Romans take their vows so seriously they have their own god whose domain is over vows I think they would frown upon the idea of Diana and Vesta breaking their vows. Although I did enjoy The Son of the Huntress series, even though Naruto saved Reyna and Hylla the fact any more Romans would accept the idea there being a child and grandchild of two virgin goddesses feels a bit far fetch.

Heads up, Sheffinator has posted the reading of fanfiction for The Legacy series called 'Reading of the Legacy of Athena and Hermes'. I have gave them permission and the first chapter is posted.

I started it 'Reading of the Legacy of Athena and Hermes: The Lightning Thief as part of my youtube channel of me reading fanfictions and actual books. I can't send the link because of course fanfiction site won't let me, but just look it up under my name Ashleigh Stratmann.

Frank Meets the Goddess of Rainbows

Frank hated Ding Dongs. He hated snakes. And he hated his life. Not necessarily in that order.

As he trudge up the hill, he wished that he could pass out like Hazel-just go into a trance and experience some other time like before he got drafted for this insane quest, before he found out his dad was a godly drill sergeant with an ego problem.

His bow and spear slapped against his back. He hated the spear, too. The moment he got it, he silently swore he'd never use it. A real man's weapon==Mars was an idiot.

Maybe there had been a mix up. Wasn't there some sort of DNA test for gods' kids? Perhaps the godly nursery had accidentally switched Frank with one of Mars' buff little bully babies. No way would Frank's mother have gotten involved with that blustering war god.

She was a natural warrior, Grandmother's voice argued.

It is no surprise a god would fall in love with her, given our family. Ancient blood. The blood of princes and heroes.

Frank shook the thought out of his head. He was no prince or hero. He was a lactose-intolerant klutz, who couldn't even protect his friend from getting kidnap by wheat.

His new medals felt cold against his chest: the centurion's crescent, the Mural Crown. He should've been proud of them, but he felt like he'd only gotten them because his dad had bullied Reyna.

Frank didn't know how Percy or Hazel could stand to be around him. Yugito don't seem to be judgmental. But Percy had made it clear that he hated Mars, and Frank couldn't blame him. Hazel kept watching Frank out of the corner of her eye, like she was afraid he might turn into a muscle bound freak.

Frank looked down at his body and sighed. Correction, even more of a muscle bound freak. If Alaska really was a land beyond the gods, Frank might stay there. He wasn't sure he had anything to return to.

Don't whine, his grandmother would say, Zhang men do not whine.

She was right. Frank had a job to do. He had to complete this impossible quest, which at the moment meant reaching the convenient store alive.

As they got closer, Frank worried that the store might burst into rainbow light and vaporize them, but the building stay dark. The snakes Polybotes had dropped seemed to have vanished.

They went twenty yards from the porch when something hissed in the grass behind them.

"Go!" Yugito yelled before making the hand signs.

Realizing Yugito was about to use that flaming mouse jutsu or whatever Frank helped Hazel carried Percy to convenience store. Frank felt the heat as if there was a burst of fire behind him scaring him. If he wasn't carrying Percy, he would check his firewood.

They headed through the door with a sign over it: RAINBOW ORGANIC FOODS & LIFESTYLE.

Frank had no idea what that meant, but it sounded better than being near Yugito's jutsu.

...

As they stepped through the door, lights came on. Flute music started up like they'd walked onto a stage. The wide aisles were lined with bins of nuts and dried fruit , baskets of apples, and clothing racks with tie-dyed shirts and gauzy Tinker Bell-type dresses. The ceiling was covered in wind chimes. Along the walls, glass cases displayed crystal balls, geodes, macrame dream catchers, and a bunch of other strange stuff. Incense must have been burning somewhere it smelled like a bouquet of flowers was on fire.

"Fortune teller's shop?" Frank wondered.

"Hope not," Hazel muttered.

Yugito entered and shut the door behind her.

"Snakes?" Frank asked.

"Gone, for now." Yugito said. "Whatever those snakes are, they aren't normal. They breath fire and disintegrate anything they touch. My jutsu just distracted them. I thought to retreat for now, see if the goddess here know what those snakes are and if they have any other powers before I decide to use Matatabis power."

"Why didn't you just use her power?" Frank asked.

"In exchange of using Matatabi's chakra, Matatabi consumes my chakra in exchange. I rather not rely on her power unless I have to because of it," Yugito explained.

Although Frank doesn't fully understand what chakra is, he still thought that was explainable.

Percy leaned against Haze;. He looked worse than ever, like he'd been hit with a sudden flu. His face glistened with sweat. "Sit down..." he muttered. "Maybe water."

"Yeah," Frank said. "Let's find you a place to rest."

The floorboards creaked under their feet. Frank navigated between two Neptune statue fountains.

A girl popped up from behind the granola bins. "Help you?"

Frank lurched backward, knocking over one of the fountains. A stone Neptune crashed to the floor. The sea god's head rolled off and water spewed out of his neck, spraying a rack of tie-dyed man satchels.

"Sorry!" Frank bent down to clean up the mess. He almost goosed the girl with his spear.

"Eep!" she said. "Hold it! It's okay!"

Frank straightened slowly, trying not to cause any more damage. Hazel looked mortified. Percy turned a sickly shade of green as he stared at the decapitated statue of his dad. Yugito picked up Neptune's head.

The girl clapped her hands. THe fountain dissolved into mist in cluding the head in Yugito's arms. THe water evaporated. SHe turned to Frank. "Really, it's no problem. Those Neptune fountains are so grumpy looking, they bum me out."

She reminded Frank of the college age hikers he some times saw in Lynn Canyon Park behind his grandmother's house. She was short and muscular, with lace-up boots, cargo shorts, and a bright yellow T-shirt that read R.O.F.L. Rainbow Organic Food & Lifestyles. She looked young, but her hair was frizzy white, sticking out on either side of her head like the white of a giant fried egg.

Frank tried to remember how to speak. The girl's eyes were really distracting. The irises changed color from gray to black to white.

"Uh... Sorry about the fountain," he managed. "We were just-"

"Oh, I know!" the girl said. "You want to browse. It's all right. Demigods are welcome. Take your time. You're not like those awful monsters. They just want to use the restroom and never buy anything!"

She eyes flashed with lightning. Frank glanced at Hazel to see if he imagined it, but Hazel looked just as surprise.

From the back of the store, a woman's voice called. "Fleecy? Don't scare the customers, now. Bring them here, will you?"

"Your name is Fleecy?" asked Yugito amused as though the lighting flash didn't bother her.

Fleecy giggled. "Well, in the language of the nebulae it's actually-" She made a series of crackle and blowing noises that reminded Frank of a thunderstorm giving way to a nice cold front. "But you can call me Fleecy."

"Nebulae..." Percy muttered in a daze. "Cloud nymphs."

Fleecy beamed. "Oh, I like this one! Usually no one knows about cloud nymphs. But dear me, he doesn't look so good. Come to the back. My boss wants to meet you. We'll get your friend fixed up."

Fleecy led them through the produce aisle, between rows of eggplants, kiwis, lotus fruits, and pomegranates. At the back of the store, behind a counter with an old-fashioned cash register, stood a middle-aged woman with olive skin, long black hair, rimless glasses, and a T-shirt that read: The Goddess is Alive! She wore amber necklaces and turquoise rings. She smelled like rose petals.

She looked friendly enough, but something about her made Frank feel shaky, like he wanted to cry. It took him a second, then he realized what it was-the way she smiled with just one corner of her mouth, the warm brown color in her eyes, the tilt of her head, like she was considering a question. She reminded Frank of his mother.

"Hello!" She leaned over the counter, which was lined with dozens of little statues-waving Chinese cats, meditating Buddhas, Saint Francis bobble heads, and novelty dippy drinking birds with top hats. "So glad you're here. I'm Iris!"

Hazel's eyes widened. "Not the Iris-the rainbow goddess?"

Iris made a face. "Well, that's my official job, yes. But I don't define myself by my corporate identity. In my spare time, I run this!" She gestured around her proudly. "The R.O.F.L. Co-op-an employee-run cooperative promoting healthy alternative lifestyles and organic foods."

Frank stared at her. "But you throw Ding Dongs at the monsters."

Iris looked horrified. "Oh, they're not Ding Dongs." She rummaged under the counter and brought out a package of chocolate covered cakes that looked exactly like Ding-Dongs. "These are gluten-free, no sugar-added, vitamin-enriched, soy-free, goat-milk-and-seaweed-based cupcake simulations."

"All natural!" Fleecy chimed in.

"I stand corrected." Frank suddenly felt as queasy as Percy.

Iris smiled. "You should try one, Frank. You're lactose-intolerant, aren't you?"

"How did you-"

"I know these things. Being the messenger goddess... well, I do learn a lot, hearing all the communications from gods and so on." She tossed the cakes on the counter. "Besides, those monsters should be glad to have some healthy snacks. Always eating junk food and heroes. They're so un-enlightened. I couldn't have them tromping through my store,tearing up things and disturbing our feng shui."

Percy leaned against the counter. He looked like he was going to throw up all over the goddess' feng shui. "Monsters marching south," he said with difficulty. "Going to destroy our camp. Couldn't you stop them?"

"Oh, I'm strictly nonviolent," Iris said. "I can act in self-defense, but I won't be drawn into any more Olympian aggression, thank you very much. I've been reading about Buddhism. And Taoism. I haven't decided between them."

"But..." Hazel looked mystified, "Aren't you a Greek goddess?"

Iris crossed her arms. "Don't try to put me in a box, demigod! I'm not defined by my past. Besides gods can adopt other cultures just as mortals can."

"Um, okay," Hazel said. "Could you at least help our friend here? I think he's sick."

Percy reached across the counter. For a second Frank was afraid he wanted the cupcakes. "Iris-message," he said. "Can you send one?"

Frank wasn't sure he'd heard right. "Iris-Message?"

"It's..." Percy faltered. "Isn't that something you do?"

Iris studied Percy more closely. "Interesting. You're from Camp Jupiter, and yet... Oh, I see. Juno is up to her old tricks."

"What kind of tricks?" Yugito asked.

Iris glanced at her assistant, Fleecy. They seemed to have a silent conversation. Then the goddess pulled a vial from behind the counter and sprayed some honeysuckle smelling oil around Percy's face. "There, that should balance your chakra."

"You know about chakra?" Yugito noted.

"Of course. Even us greek gods visit the elemental nations," Iris answered. "Humans here can't use chakra like the people there, but chakra still holds a keypoint to the humans here. I take it from your headband you're from the elemental nations?"

"Yes, ma'am. The village hidden in the clouds," Yugito said.

"Ooh, I heard of that place." Fleecy said. "Us cloud nymphs wished to go see that place, where our clouds can just hang out without being polluted."

"Yeah, we like our clouds there," Yugito smiled.

At that moment Frank realized that must be why Yugito was amused by seeing Fleecy. Fleecy must have reminded Yugito of her home even before she knew what Fleecy was.

"Yes, well, I don't try to stay around the ninja or samurai villages," Iris said. "Too war like for my liking. I prefer non-ninja nations. Like the land of waves. That place been really peaceful after that awful Gato man was killed. As for Iris-messages-that's an ancient way of communication. The Greeks used it. The Romans never took to it-relying on their road systems and giant eagles and whatnot. But yes, I imagine... Fleecy, could you give it a try?"

"Sure, boss!"

Iris winked at Frank. "Don't tell the other gods, but Fleecy handles most of my messages these days. She's wonderful at it, really, and I don't have time to answer all those request personally. It messes up my wa."

"Your wa?"

"Mmm. Fleecy, why don't you take Percy Hazel and Yugito into the back? You can get them something to eat while you arrange their messages. Yugito can answer any questions you have on her village afterwards. And for Percy... yes, memory sickness. I imagine that old Polybotes... well, meeting him in a state of amnesia can't be good for a child of P-that is to say Neptune. Fleecy, give him a cup of green tea with organic honey and wheat germ and some of my medical powder number five. That should fix him up."

Hazel frowned. "What about Frank?"

Iris turned to him. She tilted her head quizzically, just the way his mother use to-as if Frank were the biggest question in the room.

"Oh, don't worry," Iris said. Frank and I have a lot to talk about."

A/N: Merry Chirstmas and Happy Holidays.

I didn't have Yugito destroy the basilisk. I want to give Frank the chance to introduce Grey. Besides, I realize since Basilisk in this series can breath fire, blue flaming rats would probably be more as a distraction than an effective attack. Sure Yugito could use the Two-Tail Cloak, but like I said I want get introducing Grey over with so I thought I hodl Yugito decide to try and figure out what Basilisk are before deciding to rely on Matatabi's power. It helps that Matatabi also can consume Yugito's chakra while Yugito uses Matatabi, making her careful in how much she uses.

By the way Yugito's lack of shock toward Fleecy's lightning eyes thing more got to do of the fact she seen the Fourth Raikage's lightning armor jutsu which is pretty much armor of lightning. Compare to that, lightning flashing in the eyes not surprising.
