AN1: Glad people liked my changes so far to canon (like adding 2 more cabins to Camp Half Blood)!

Chapter 7 First Day and Claiming!

"Son of Apollo? We haven't had one of those since..."

"Yay he's not our brother!"

"Dibs!"

"Hmph he might not be such a wuss unlike those archer pansies."

These were several of the whispers Naruto heard while he looked at Chiron who merely sighed. "Naruto has been claimed and therefor join his brothers and sisters at cabin 7!" Chiron declared as several loud cheers rang from kids that looked like his dad. Naruto noticed that not one of them was younger than him with several of them looking at him in confusion.

Naruto quickly went to the table where he got smiles and claps on the back from every of his paternal brother and sisters. "Hey there new bro! My name is Lee Fletcher and welcome to Cabin 7!" A blonde-haired blue-eyed boy told Naruto. He appeared to be 17 with him being a foot taller than Naruto.

Naruto quickly introduced himself before Chiron spoke again. "As traditional before we meet our blessed breakfast, we shall sacrifice part of our meal to the Gods!" As everyone started lining up by Cabin towards the giant Fire pit at the head of the Dining Hall Naruto made sure to looked confused.

"Uh why are we burning part of our food?" Naruto asked pretending to be confused.

"Right. You're new. We burn a part of our food every meal as an offering to our parents or any Gods. They like the smell of the burnt food supposedly." Lee explained kindly as they waited in line for their turn.

Of course, Naruto knew this from his parents but he never actually practiced it. Whenever he wanted to praise his parents, he did it directly in person and he could talk to his 'Aunt' Hestia just by whispering her name in the fire. He knew why demigods did it -besides to stroke the Gods Egos as his mother would say-. Demigods rarely got to talk directly to their parents and having some kind of sign they were listening was a great comfort to the kids.

Several of his sisters asked why he had whiskers and even one mentioned they were rather cute much to his embarrassment. Naruto admitted they were since his birth and they simply grew along with him. Finally, it came down to Naruto to burn his food.

"To Apollo!" Naruto said loudly as he had seen his older siblings do. He secretly also prayed to his mother and godmother feeling a warm feeling in his heart which he knew meant they listened. Breakfast was a plate full of pancakes, bacon, and hash browns which to his delight tasted rather delicious although not as good as his Aunty home cooked meals.

After breakfast Naruto got annoyed at all the looks, he was receiving which he assumed was related to his claiming. "Ok Lee why is so strange I am son of Apollo and why I am the youngest member of our cabin?" Naruto asked with a mild glare as his siblings looked around realizing he saw the looks he was receiving. "I mean the books say dad had thousands of demigods so why I am the youngest right now?".

When Lee looked away one of his sisters decided to answer him (AN2:) Kayla Knowles was a Canadian born demigod of Apollo. She was a ginger with a splash of green which she insisted wasn't dyed although Naruto doubted it. She like all of Apollo's children was older than Naruto being about 15.

"Look Naruto the reason why it is so strange for another Son of pollo to show up is that Dad hasn't had another Demigod in early 13 years! You are literally the first the camp has seen in years!" Kayla explained to the shock of Naruto. As several of his siblings were talking about how strange it was especially as Apollo had a least 1 demigod a year before then.

Naruto was thinking back to several years ago when he was 10 and started asking questions.

Flashback

"Dad!" Naruto shouted running to sit on his happy dads lap while his mom just laughed.

"Yes Sunshine?" Apollo asked with a warm smile rubbing his excited sons head gently.

"Mommy has her hunters so does Dad have any children to play with?" Naruto asked innocently as both parents stuttered. Naruto was too young to understand how children were born but just thought they were his siblings.

"Uh… you see…." Apollo stuttered trying to explain while Artemis just sighed getting Naruto's attention focused on her.

"Naru your Papa has plenty of children who I am sure you will meet some day." Artemis said flatly as Naruto tilted his head in confusion.

Flashback end

'looking back I think I noticed dad looking guilty when mom said that but I could never understand why. Is it because he felt guilty about having all those children before I was born? Dad did you change and not have kids anymore because I was born?" Naruto asked in his mind in a prayer to his dad. He did not receive a response but felt his hair move slightly as if his dad was rustling it.

Naruto was distracted from his thoughts when his siblings showed him the archery range for his 'first lesson'. Naruto had a hidden smirk when he was about to practice his favorite activity.

Meanwhile on Olympus in Apollo's throne Room

"What do you mean you haven't had a Demigod since Naruto was born?!" Artemis screamed at a serious looking Apollo who met her glare with his own solemn look.

"I mean I was with you and Naruto nearly the entire time he was in the hunt." Apollo said calmly as Artemis sputtered but still had a response in mind.

"Yeah but I thought some part of you was off having your 'fun' while the main you were with us." Artemis accused as Apollo winced. While Artemis' clone had been responsible keeping the hunt strong and the same, his other clones had multiple Demigods mainly out of boredom while he was Minato.

Apollo sighed before answering "Look I know my record with Demigods is nearly as bad as Dad's." Ignoring Artemis' scoff, he continued "But I love Naruto and I wanted to be a dad he could be proud of. How could I do that while having fun elsewhere and not expect my son to pick up my habits. Say what you will about me but my love for our son and even you sis is real." Apollo explained with determination as Artemis was quiet not knowing what to say.

"Apollo... you…" Artemis said not knowing how to respond. As much as she tried to deny it every since they came back from ebbing mortal her attitude towards Apollo had changed. They no longer bickered as much besides occasionally on what's best for Naruto, they hunted together more frequently and she even allowed Apollo to heal her hunters which she refused to do so in the past.

Before Artemis had to answer Hestia called them up to her Hearth in the Throne Roo which could be used to see anywhere on Earth.

"Congrats on your kid getting to camp Half Blood." Hermes said with a grin as Artemis and Apollo sat in human size in front of the Hearth like all the other Gods. They were all there except for Dionysus who was in camp Half Blood and Ares who was sulking that his girlfriend was not interested in their bed today.

Back in Camp Half Blood

The entire camp had gathered to see Naruto's first archery lesson which Naruto knew was his 'initiation' into the camp and them seeing if he inherited any of his dad's natural skill. 'If only they knew.' Naruto thought drily as he picked up a quiver full of arrows.

"Hey if you don't get it right in the middle its ok Naruto. Very few of Dads kids get it right in the first shot." Will whispered in comfort tone of voice as Naruto grinned.

"I guess we will have to wait and see." Naruto said with a slightly cocky tone of voice. Naruto took a breath and as quick as the wind an arrow flew through his bow right into the middle as everyone was quiet.

"Beginnings luck?" Somebody suggested from the back as Naruto just shrugged. Naruto practiced for years with his parents and Hunter sisters so a non-moving target was no problem for him.

Naruto quickly got a pat of congratulations from all his siblings which he counted including himself was 12 so nobody had to share bunkbeds. (AN3)

Naruto looked into the crowd expecting Annabeth to ask him questions but to his surprise he did see her in the wave of blonde haired, gray eyed Demigods. He remembered the boy he saved had some injuries so he assumed maybe she was taking care of him till he woke up. Some ugly part of him was annoyed a friend he just made was taking care of another boy but he quickly dismissed it. The same part was more relieved that his friend Silena was watching him with a bright smile that still made him a but flustered.

Meanwhile on Olympus

"Dam first shot bullseye!" Poseidon said loudly impressed as several gods gave tehri approval. Artemis and Apollo merely smiled with pride at their child.

Aphrodite sensing Naruto's feelings squealed as Athena coughed and asked "Something you find amusing Aphrodite?" as everyone turned to the excited Goddess of Love.

"Oh, nothing just that our little superstar has a little crush on your daughter Annabeth I believe her name is?" Aphrodite claimed enjoying the glares from the Virgin Goddesses.

"I highly doubt that." Athena said with narrowed eyes.

"My little boy is too young to date!" Artemis claimed as everyone still gave her weird looks for her maternal side appearing for a male child.

"We shall see." Aphrodite said with a wink. "Although I might eb happy if he gets claimed by little girl Silena who already seems to have gotten him hooked." Aphrodite giggled as Artemis glared heatedly.

Artemis would not fault a girl for actions of her parents but when it was her child, she believed she deserved to be a but suspicious of her sons love life.

Seeing Poseidon being distraught Apollo pulled him aside while Artemis give him a nod. "I know you are worried about your kid but he will be fine. Trust me God of Prophecy and truth here." Apollo said with a grin.

Poseidon smiled but his eyes still had some sorrow in it. "Thanks to your son mine got to live." Poseidon said gratefully as Apollo knew he was grieving for his mortal lover.

"Look I can't go into details but we both know gold lights doesn't mean death it means Metamorphosis." Apollo told him as Poseidon sighed but nodded as they returned to the Throne room only to see Zeus glare at his older brother. The other gods sighed and decided to leave as there would be another screaming match between the Big 3 Gods tonight.

Back in Camp Half Blood

Naruto enjoyed the next few hours where he learned some Ancient Greek (despite being taught by his parents he played along), canoeing (which he was bored with quickly), and talking to nature spirits. To his surprise they were eager to chat with him since they sensed he wasn't a horny teen boy and they thought he had a nice 'nature smell' to him which he thought was due to his mother.(AN4)

He even met the Satyr he saved last night who he learned was called Grover Underwood. Grover was nice but kept trying to sniff him much to Naruto's discomfort seeing he smelled like 'Nature' and seemed oddly obsessed with it. Naruto covered himself claiming he went camping a lot but overall, he got along with the Satyr rather well.

Suddenly Naruto and Grover were called by Chiron who revealed that the black-haired boy Naruto saved finally woke up with Chiron wanting them both to be there when he started explaining. Grover quickly agreed while Naruto shrugged but agreed. Little did Naruto know he was going to meet Percy Jackson the fated Big 3 Child who would decide Olympus's fate.

AN2: ok technically both the hunters and Apollo daughters are Naruto's 'sisters' but for context he will be more emotionally connected to the hunters just because Naruto grew up with them. Naruto understands that his dad is not a married God so his demigod siblings are cool with him.

AN3: I know in canon Apollo stated every cabin has 6 bunk beds so 12 beds per cabin but that seems abit small for me. So, in my universe it was 12 bunk beds (the Cabins are pretty big) with still space to change and stuff.

AN4: I think in canon Percy wakes up some time before dinner but in this one he wakes up before lunch so his first meal will be a lunch in Camp Half Blood.

I know not super interesting buts it's the beginning. Next chapter Naruto Uzumaki will meet Percy Jackson. It will eb interesting as Percy has been sheltered about eh Gods his entire life while Naruto has lived with Gods his entire life.
