AN1:
Chapter 8 Percy Jackson meet Naruto Uzumaki!
Naruto and Grover went to the medical centre where the black-haired boy was clearly freaking out while Annabeth was trying to be patient and not show her irritation.
"Grover!" The black haired cried as Grover gave a kind and sympathetic look.
"Hey Percy." Grover said softy as Percy looked confused at where he was. "Percy Jackson meet Annabeth Chase and Naruto Uzumaki." Grover greeted realizing no formal introductions were done. Percy looked at Annabeth with a minor blush that turned to annoyance when Annabeth gave him a bored but calm look in return.
Naruto finally got a look at the boy he rescued at the camp borders. Percy to him seemed almost like a normal mortal teenager he had seen in the cities. Unlike Annabeth or any demigod, he had seen so far it did not look like Percy had every trained in his life being rather average in height and muscles. Percy had dark black hair and odd sea green eyes but nothing stuck out as super awe inspiring for Naruto.
"Grover what is this place? Where's my mom?" Percy asked frantically as Grover gave him a sympathetic pat on the back while both Annabeth and Naruto looked away. Naruto felt guilty as he realized that woman, he failed to save was Percy's mother and based his observations must have tried to raise Percy as close to mortals could be based on his ignorance.
"Percy your mom is gone…" Grover explained as Percy gave him a look of anguish.
"No! Where will I go without her?!" Percy demanded as Naruto gave him a small smile.
"You can find a new home here with us Percy." Naruto said with a sympathetic tone.
"Ok nobody has told me where I am and I am tired of it!" Percy said grumpily as he narrowed his eyes.
"I believe I can answer that for you Percy." Chiron said as he wheeled in a wheelchair that Naruto hadn't noticed before. His horse half mysteriously gone which he could only assume was some kind of disguise.
"Mr. Burner!" Percy cried in happiness at seeing his favourite teacher. Annabeth shared an incredulous look with Naruto who shrugged. It seemed to him unlike Naruto with his Godly parents Percy's mortal mom tried to hide as much information as possible.
"Yes…. Sorry that was just a pseudonym I used when I was teaching at your school." Chiron said with a warm smile. Percy looked confused so he elaborated "My actual name is Chiron."
"Uh… You came to my school just to teach me?" Percy asked cluelessly as Annabeth looked ready to make a comment but Naruto and Grover shaking their heads stopped her.
"Yup. I really do make the time but Grover told me it would help." Chiron replied pointing to the nervous Satyr who Percy looked thoughtful at. "I suppose it would eb best to start with what you do know. Percy did you other tell you anything?" Chiron asked everyone looked at the nervous Demigod.
"My mom just said she was taking me a summer camp and I would probably not be able to leave if I got here." Percy said sadly as everyone gave him sympathetic looks.
"I suppose it's a start. Percy you remember the Gods we talked about during Latin Class correct?" Chiron asked as Percy nodded.
"You mean Zeus, Hades, and Apollo?" Percy said as Naruto prayed to his father to not be offended as such casual use of his name. He swore he heard a chuckle in his head. He knew his dad was one of the most chill gods but he still wanted to make sure he was not offended when somebody not his child used his name without regard. However, Lord Zeus seemed annoyed as a distant boom of thunder reminded everyone not to use his name in vain
"Correct. Well the Gods are still with us to this day and when they have children with mortals, they create what you are: a Demigod." Chiron tried explaining as Percy looked skeptical.
"But the Gods are just myths! They are what people believed in before science explained everything!" Percy claimed in denial. Chiron sighed, Annabeth looked ready to snap, Grover held Annabeth back and Naruto looked amused. Despite being born mortal by the Gods definition he was exposed to Gods from the minute he was born. Percy seemed the opposite: he was born a demigod but raised in such a way he could deny what was right in front of him.
"Listen here! You are living in the realm of the Gods so get used to it!" Annabeth said with a bite unable to see how Percy was denying everything. Percy glared at her while Grover and Chiron were abit annoyed at Annabeth outburst.
"That's enough Annabeth. Percy just lost his mother." Chiron said calmly but with a slight tone of reproach as Annabeth hung her head down. Both as she realized she was abit out of line and that she disappointed her father figure.
"I suppose it would be better if you watch the film and I can answer any questions you might have afterwards." Chiron decided looking questionably at Percy. After looking at Grover who nodded his head encouragingly so Percy nodded his head in agreement. "Excellent. I think it would be best if Grover and Annabeth join us so Percy can have some familiar faces." Chiron requested as Grover nodded eagerly while Annabeth nodded reluctantly. (AN2:)
The group walked out before Annabeth realized something. "Hey what about Naruto? Shouldn't he watch the film as well?" Everyone turned back to the blonde who waved half-heartedly.
"Don't worry about me. I knew about all this stuff for awhile." Naruto said with a mysterious smile as Annabeth interest in Naruto grew but she waved back all the same. "I will sure everyone for lunch." Naruto told them as they walked out.
Naruto stretched for abit before he walked off wondering what he should do till lunch. Apart of him was wondering who Percy's father was since his mother was obviously mortal. One thought that popped into his head was Poseidon due to his similar looks but he had his doubts. His mom and dad told him about the oath of the Big 3 and how no other Big 3 children were currently alive since the death of Thalia daughter of Zeus. He was so caught up his thoughts he didn't notice somebody in front of him till he unintentionally bumped into the person hearing a girly groan.
"Sorry let me help you up." Naruto apologized once he got his bearings in mind. He offered his hand only to hear a familiar giggle in return.
"Quite a hero Naruto." Silena said with a giggle and wink as she grabbed his hand and pulled herself back onto her feet.
"Silena!" Naruto exclaimed in surprise as his face got flustered as his hand registered how soft Silena's was. He didn't notice Silena light coloured cheeks as she felt how strong and warm Naruto's was against hers.
Silena pulled her hand back out of his grasp to their slight annoyance unbeknownst to the other. "Yup its me!" Silena announced with a happy smile as Naruto got his face under control.
"Uh were you looking for me or something?" Naruto asked awkwardly still not knowing how to talk to Silena normally yet.
Silena sent him a grin and teasingly pointed a finger at him in accusation. "Did you already forget? I offered to give a tour around camp!" Silena asked with a twinkle in her blue eyes as Naruto eyes widened. "Are your free right now?" Silena asked as Naruto looked thoughtful for a second.
"Yup! I would love to go a tour with you Silena." Naruto replied as Silena smiled and walked next to him starting the tour. Most of the tour was talking about each cabin and which Demigods were allowed in each. Naruto knew or could assume most of it but he thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Silena who he realized was more then a pretty face. She was kind and cheerful showing an interest in Pegasus riding and swimming both of which Naruto was looking forward to trying.
As they passed Cabin 5 for Ares children a rough looking girl and two of her brothers blocked Silena and Naruto's path with sneers on their face.
"Hi Clarise." Silena said to the girl with a smile as the Clarise sent a rough smile back.
"Hey Silena. So, this is the new Apollo kid huh?" Clarise asked sizing Naruto up who gave her a cool glare not intimated.
"Yup! Naruto and I were in a middle of a tour so would you mind letting us by?" Silena requested with a smile but Naruto could hear a challenging tone. He had a feeling the two girls were friends but somehow despite being a child of Aphrodite the Ares kids were abit frightened of Silena.
Clarise two brothers growled but Clarise sighed and raised a hand making a path clear. She whispered "Remember we can't hurt Aphrodite kids or dad is going to be pissed." This made the two Ares brothers growl but then she added "Besides there is another newbie who needs an initiation later." This made all three give bloodthirsting grins as Naruto and Silena already walked by.
"So you to must have an interesting friendship..." Naruto commented as Silena giggled.
"Yeah everyone says Clarise is this bully but u know se is a softie at heart." Silena claimed with a grin. Somehow Naruto thought the rumours were not quite as outrageous as Silena believed but he decided not to bring it up.
As they walked past Cabin 6 which was Athena's cabin Silena decided to bring up Cabin Counsellors who for the most part was in charge of each cabin. She noted most cabins like her own was based on years being in camp.
"For example, Annabeth has been here for about 5 years so she is the current Counsellor for Cabin 6. I am for the counsellor for Cabin 10 as I have been here the longest" Silena revealed as she revealed a necklace with 4 beads.
"How does my dad decide who is the Counsellor for Cabin 7?" Naruto decided to ask curious on how his dads other children decided who was in charge.
Silena gave a kind smile happy to see Naruto curious about his Godly parent. "Well Apollo Cabin is a bit different from the rest." Silena told him as Naruto gave her a confused look. "Instead of age or how long they been here they do monthly archery tournaments to see who is the best. Usually we don't see a lot of them as Lee has been a fairy and popular choice but before him, I heard there were tournaments quite often." Silena told an amazed Naruto. She decided to tease him "Maybe you should try out?" Silena asked with a wink. (AN3)
Naruto sputtered as Silena gave a hearty laugh. "I did see you get a perfect bull eyes on your first lesson so maybe you could beat Lee for counsellor position?" Silena mused as Naruto shrugged.
Truthfully Naruto hated to brag but according to his parents his skills with archery rivalled all but the most experienced members of the hunt most of them whose skill with the bow and arrow surpassed Apollo demigod children. He remembered his dad defending his children saying they did not live for centuries to practice like his moms' hunters but his mother dismissed this argument. Naruto knew he could likely win but he had no desire to be in charge of his paternal siblings. Besides if he knew the rules correctly, he would likely be his mother's representative when his mother claimed him as the hunters rarely stayed at camp half blood. Thinking about that made him miss his parents and hunter sisters but he new they would see them soon.
"Hehe maybe." Naruto said modestly but decided to try to tease Silena like she did to him. "If I did become a counsellor, I might see you more right?" Naruto asked with a grin as Silena stuttered before he laughed making her pout.
They had walked by cabin 10 and Naruto and Silena heard some whispering.
"Hey that's Silena and the new guy!"
"They seem pretty close."
"Are they dating?"
"Aw I wanted him for myself."
Naruto heard several comments like this as his yes narrowed and he looked in worry at Silena who onl sighed.
"Uh is it ok for us to be seen together like this. It might send the wrong message." Naruto said in hesitation as Silena smiled warmly at him.
"Don't worry about my siblings. They don't like to do much besides gossips." Silena said with a sigh when Naruto still looked concerned. She added "I decide who my friends are and who I hang out with not them." She said in finality as Naruto felt touched, she considered him her friend and didn't care if they were seen together.
Before they could continue talking a horn signifying lunch rang as both teens blinked.
"this was fun!" Naruto told Silena who smiled back at him.
"We should do it again." Silena told him and Naruto eagerly nodded as Silena waved to him. She started walking and for some reason Naruto was drawn to her pretty black hair and didn't realize he was watching her leave for almost a minute before he ran back to his cabins dinner table.
When he arrived, he heard excited whispers from his siblings and Lee even saved him a spot next to him to whisper "So you and Silena huh?".
"Its not like that! We are just friends!" Naruto said stubbornly as his siblings gave him teasing smiles.
"Sure. That's how it starts." Kayla told him in an older sibling kind of way making Naruto pout. Naruto decided he liked these siblings as well as they treated him like a brother which he liked.
Before they could tease him more Chiron stamped his hoof getting everyone attention. "Campers welcome Mr. D for this glorious lunch!" Chiron announced as he got half-hearted claps for Mr. D from some of the campers. Luckily Mr. D did not care at all and rather lazily drank another diet coke. Chiron coughed and Mr. D sighed.
"Alright. Here's to a new camper. Blah blah blah. Peter Johnson!" Dionysus said in a bored voice waving his hand roughly Percy direction. Everyone turned to the Extra Boy Table where Percy awkwardly waved back shyly. Naruto turned back to Dionysus who gave him a tiny nod of approval that nobody saw. Naruto also saw a look of loathing he sent to Percy who Naruto could only assume insulted the God unknowingly due to his ignorance.
The lunch today was several grilled cheeses, fries and assorted vegetables which Naruto rather enjoyed after the typical burning of the food to the Gods. Naruto felt sorry for Percy who unlike him seemed out of place in a setting so outside of where he lived. Naruto's parents prepped him for camp half blood for years while Percy's mother tried to hide the truth to keep her son safe. Naruto decided after lunch he would talk to the poor kid and try to become friends with him.
AN2: I know Percy never actually watches the film but in this story he does so eh won't be so confused as he is in the books.
AN3: never said in canon if every cabin is by years of being there. I chose an option I thought fitting for the story.
I know people expected a huge meeting with Naruto and Percy but I remembered back in chapter 6 where Silena offered to give him a camp tour so I decided this was the spot best for it. I will do more Naruto and Percy interactions later.
ALSO, I know people think Annabeth is being mean but even in the books she is a bit impatient with Percy on his first day. Besides I will tell you MORE THEN LIEKLY Annabeth will end up with Naruto over Percy so they don't have the instant "Percabeth" connection like canon.
