The Hope of The Moon and Sun
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Percy Jackson. Naruto is owned by Masashi Kishimoto and Percy Jackson is owned by Rick Riordan respectively. Certain elements were inspired by various Naruto/Percy Jackson crossover fanfictions.
AN1: Yeah this story does take longer to build up mostly as the first big Event "the Quest for the Master Bolt" is still a few weeks away. (Naruto doesn't know it has been stolen but suspects something big happened as his parents were more worried and nervous in the weeks leading up to him leaving the Hunt)
Also if it wasn't clear… Clarisse and Ares kids can't mess with Aphrodite kids or she will be mad at Ares (aka not sleep with for awhile).
Ok I am still getting reviews on this… Artemis and Apollo (and every Olympian) are NOT as strong as Zeus is ok? They have said it multiple times Zeus is the strongest of the Olympians and in the Apollo series Apollo even acknowledges that Zeus's kids live in fear of what Zeus will do to them If they misbehave. (besides Zeus and Poseidon were the only Gods who could do ANY damage to Typhoon in The Last Olympian while the other Gods were like flies to the Storm Giant). I just have to out it out there as it is unrealistic to think that Artemis and Apollo won't worry for Naruto if Zeus is pissed at them… Zeus's domain is the sky itself and relative to other gods he has to have the most worship. Zeus will not be blowing up Naruto just for existing but he is still a foul mood as his Master Bolt was stolen (hence why Artemis and Apollo reluctantly sent him to camp early).

Naruto is a not a Huge fan of Toilets
After an excellent lunch and getting more teasing about his "'feelings' for Silena which he denied, Naruto decided know was as good of time to talk to his new friend.
"Hey Percy! Over here!" Naruto yelled to the sombre and confused Percy who looked up.
"Oh hey… Naruto, right?" Percy said carefully not wanting to annoy one of the few people who seemed to want to be his friend besides Grover.
"Yeah, I am guessing you are having a rough first day?" Naruto asked sympathetically as he waved to a few girls who smiled at him. "Truth is this is technically my first day too." Naruto admitted as Percy looked at him in surprise. Naruto seemed to fit right in and have the 'popular but kind' feel about him.
"You're kidding me, right?" Percy asked in astonishment as Naruto shrugged. "You seem like you have been here for years!" Percy said out loud as Naruto laughed.
"Nope newbie just like you." Naruto told him with a grin. He could see the doubt in his eyes so he said "I am guessing this is all completely new to you huh?" Naruto asked as Percy slowly shook my head.
"Its just last week I was normal kid going to boarding school but now I learn I am part of this Godly World that has existed forever right under our noses!" Percy whined as Naruto patted his shoulder comfortingly.
"Hey don't worry about it, despite what Annabeth says nobody actually expects you to accept it all right away. Just go your own pace." Naruto told him as Percy felt a little better. Little did Percy know Annabeth was watching them invisible with her magical hat on. Little did she know Naruto could sense her due to his time training with his mother who taught him how to focus on the smallest details.
'Maybe Naruto is right… I was harsh on Percy especially since it seems like he was not told anything before today.' Annabeth thought to herself as she trailed behind the boys.
As Naruto and Percy were walking, they happened to stop by the Archery range that was currently empty. Naruto got an idea and thought to himself 'I am sure nobody will mind if Percy and I just practice by ourselves.'
"Ok since its empty and it will be less nerve-racking then having a bunch of people watching I am going to see how good at archery you are Percy." Naruto told Percy who looked nervous.
"Uh I have never held a bow let alone shot something." Percy admitted as Naruto shrugged.
"Can't get better unless you try right?" Naruto asked with mirth as Percy nodded his head. "Ok so you hold the bow like this pull back the string, aim and fire." Naruto told him demonstrating every step in slow motion and firing the arrow. Like he expected it was a perfect bull eyes while Percy whistled in appreciation. "Ok you try it." Naruto told him handing him the bow and quiver.
Percy looked nervous as he out the quiver on his shoulder and awkwardly put the bow in one of his hands. Annabeth watched in interest as she suspected that Naruto would have no trouble with archery due to being a son of Apollo (she heard the gossip spread across camp) and was interested to see how Percy would do on his first try. Percy looked straight ahead at the target with determination as he pulled back the bow.
"Thud…" was heard as the arrow left the bow.
"Uh Percy you might want to pull back on the string a bit harder… It came a little short." Naruto told him a deadpan as he pointed to the arrow which did not even reach half way to the target before falling short.
Annabeth had to restrain herself from giggling and face palming while she was invisible. Percy looked embarrassed as he picked up the arrow again. Several tries later Percy finally figured out how much energy to pull the bow back to get the arrow to actually the reach the target.
'Was I ever bad at archery? I am pretty sure my sisters could tell me but I have been using arrows for so long I can't remember my first lessons.' Naruto thought to himself as he watched his new friend fail spectacularly at hitting the target at all.
Meanwhile at the Hunters Camp
"Achoo!" Zoe and Chloe sneezed at the same time as the hunters were currently dividing up several animals for their meals.
"Naru must be thinking about us." Chloe remarked as she rubbed her nose and smiled. A cheer could be heard from every hunter as they were talking about their beloved little brother.
"He must be! However, he is at that…. Camp." A hunter said sourly as they hated the camp before due to the bad blood between hunters and campers. The hunter's attitude towards camp half blood didn't exactly improve when they learned their little brother who they loved would have to spend his summers at that camp.
Zoe sighed as she agreed that the camp was for 'little children' but since her little brother was being forced to stay there, she made the other hunters promise not to burn down any more cabins next time they go there. It would do no good for her little brother to become a pariah if his big sisters caused trouble.
Back at Camp Half Blood
"Ok so now try to hit the target ok Percy? It doesn't have to be center or even close just the actual target and you be 100X better then before." Naruto told Percy encouragingly as Percy grumbled.
"Here goes!" Percy announced as he pulled back the string and shot. However, despite aiming at the target in front of him the arrow somehow curved and flew towards Naruto who was behind him. Naruto effortlessly stepped back as the arrow landed where he stood.
Percy, Naruto and even Annabeth on how Percy made such a simple shot turn so wrong.
"Ok I did not expect that to happen. Try it again Percy." Naruto commented as he was thoroughly confused on how it happened. He could see that Percy's stance was right and he aimed correctly but somehow the arrow missed completely.
Percy was super embarrassed as 5 tries later the arrow itself seemed to intentionally veer off course almost hitting Naruto twice, over the target twice and unbeknownst to him an invisible Annabeth once.
"Ok I seriously don't know what is happening." Naruto said with a dry voice as he knew there was no wind to offset the angle, the bow and arrow were fine as he used the same ones for bull eyes afterwards. It just seemed the arrow wanted to hit other things when used by Percy.
Naruto heard people coming to the archery range and decided it was good enough. "Ok lets call it a day and pretend that it never happened deal?" Naruto proposed as he put the quiver and arrow back.
"Deal." Percy said sourly as they walked off and just started walking.
"So what did you do to piss off Mr. D?" Naruto asked curiously as Percy grew annoyed.
"You mean that jerk? Nothing! I just asked him how he could be a God and he freaked out!" Percy claimed as Naruto sighed.
Naruto could understand what the problem was and decided Percy needed to know as well. "Percy, I get Mr. D can be grumpy." Naruto started as Percy snorted. "But think of this way. If you were a God would you be happy if somebody didn't believe in you?" Naruto asked Percy who widened his eyes.
"I wouldn't like it." Percy admitted but growled "But he is still a jerk!" Naruto chuckled as he figured Dionysus hated Demigods on principles due to what Theseus did to his wife.
"I wouldn't say that to Mr. D face if I were you." Annabeth warned as she came up behind them to Percy surprise.
"What are you doing here? Don't you have something better to do then following us?" Percy asked in accusation as Annabeth blushed.
"I wasn't following you! I just happened to be around!" Annabeth claimed as Naruto smirked knowing she was invisible the entire time.
The group spent the next several minutes bickering between Percy and Annabeth while Naruto just smiled. They happened to go near the camp bathrooms when they heard a rough voice.
"Well, well, if it isn't Owl Head, Blondie and the newbie." Clarisse said snidely as she came up with a blood thirsty smile.
"Percy Jackson, Naruto Uzumaki meet Clarisse La Rue. She is a daughter of Ares." Annabeth said with a sigh as Percy looked at Clarisse before he snickered.
"I guess that explains the smell. Being a daughter of the War God." Percy taunted as Clarisse grew outraged.
"Ok that's it! We have an initiation for newbies and I guess its your turn Prissy." Clarisse announced angrily as she stepped forward.
"Clarisse." Annabeth warned as she tried to step forward only for Percy to wave him off. He knew he had to fight his own battles and not rely on Naruto or Annabeth to bail him out all the time.
Clarisse dragged Percy into the boys bathroom by the arm as Annabeth worriedly followed behind. Naruto was about to join them until he heard a voice from behind.
"looks like your little girlfriend isn't here to protect you this time." A smug Ares boy remarked as he and 2 of his brothers stepped out of the bushes and surrounded Naruto.
Naruto blinked before realizing they meant Silena. "Wow Mr. Tough Guy having 3 of you against 1." Naruto taunted as all 3 of them growled.
"Shut up! You are just a son of Apollo and we are masters of combat because of our dad!" One of the Ares claimed boastfully.
Naruto smirked as he remembered the irony at that statement.
Flashback-Naruto is 6 years old
"Mama! Why do I have to learn to fight with my hands and feet?" Naruto whined as his mother just smiled and picked him up. "Why can't I use a cool bow like you or a cool sword like Papa showed me?" Naruto asked as he crossed his small arms childishly.
"My little stars, may heroes of the past have gotten used to using their weapons to fight and when they are disarmed it has always ended badly for them. I want you to be able to defend yourself in every scenario." Artemis told him gently as he just tilted his head not getting it. Artemis decided another approach "If you train like this you will be super strong!" Artemis promised him as his eyes shined.
"I will be strong like mama and papa?" Naruto asked excitedly as he bounced in Artemis arms.
"Yes, little one you will be." Artemis promised as she smiled at Naruto's giggles. Later Naruto would be trained in unarmed combats along with weapons a decision Artemis never regretted.
Present
'Glad I listened to my mom.' Naruto thought to himself as he causally dodged the punch the first Ares kid before punching him in the stomach. This made the Ares kid fall to his knees in pain.
"Why you!" One of the remaining Ares kids yelled as he and his brother attempted to tag team Naruto was much to quick for them. He quickly danced around their attempts to grab him before he did a solid kick to each brother making them collapse.
"Well that was easy." Naruto remarked to himself before his senses went off. While the Ares kids were on the ground groaning in pain, he did some quick jumps to avoid the tidal wave of toilet water that flooded out of the bathrooms and hit the downed Ares kids.
Naruto had jumped far enough way to avoid the water only to see an enraged and soaking Clarisse get carried out of the bathroom and onto the camp grounds by the water.
"You hear me Prissy? I will end you!" Clarisse threatened as her brothers who were able to get up due to the water dragged her away. Naruto heard her cursing before he focused back on the bathroopm.
"What happened to your guys?" Naruto asked in amusement and curiosity seeing a soaking but not smelly Annabeth and perfectly dry Percy walk out of the bathroom.
"Naruto! Well Clarisse tried dunking Percy into the toilet but for some reason the water burst out of the pipes and same with the showers too!" Annabeth exclaimed as she pointed to the ruined toilets and showers. "Luckily I was only hit with shower water unlike Clarisse but this still blows." Annabeth said grumpily as she pointed to her soaked clothes.
"I am sorry about the toilets Annabeth. It wasn't my fault." Percy said as he gasped loudly. Naruto raised an eyebrow when he saw the area around Percy was dry and Percy didn't have even a single drop of water on him.
Annabeth gave him a dry look before he got flustered in shame. It was his fault. Somehow, he had become master of the bathroom.
"Maybe Percy doesn't like the bathroom very much?" Naruto asked with a grin as Annabeth laughed and Percy chuckled. "Not that I will probably using them for awhile." Naruto remarked before he noticed Annabeth start to shiver to due to her soaked clothes.
Before anyone could stop him, Naruto grabbed Annabeth's hand gently making Annabeth gasp "Naruto what are you?" before everyone felt a burst of warmth from Annabeth. Next moment Annabeth clothes were dry and she felt like she had a warm shower using air.
"Ok that was pretty cool." Percy said in awe as Annabeth blinked several times before she came to a conclusion.
"This must be some child of Apollo thing that nobody has seen before right Naruto?" Annabeth said with deep concentration. Naruto shrugged as she continued to ponder out loud "Apollo is the God of the Sun and the sun does dry things so it makes sense." In reality Naruto used some basic fire chakra manipulation without hand signs but he let Annabeth think what she wanted.
"Uh Naruto you can let go of my hand now." Annabeth told him shyly as Naruto blinked before he pulled back with a quick apology. Neither of them noticed the other with a mild blush while Percy just looked confused. "I have made up my mind now." Annabeth declared as they gave her a confused look.
"About what?" Naruto asked with an eyebrow raised.
"The next capture the Flag game I want you both on my team." Annabeth declared as the boys blinked before shrugging. "See you both after dinner." Annabeth told them as she walked off muttering to herself about possible strategies.
"Annabeth is kinda weird." Percy stated after a moment.
"She's nice once you get to know her but she is smarter than both of us so yeah kinda weird." Naruto replied as they walked in separate directions.
Soon word of the bathroom incident spread but despite Clarisse protests no evidence could prove Percy was responsible for the bathroom destructions. Chiron decided it was likely bad pipes or divine intervention and declared the bathrooms would be unusable until they were fixed. He asked for the Hephaestus and Athena children to help rebuild the bathrooms which they eagerly agreed starting the next day.
The popular rumour was that Clarisse had unknowingly angered Hephaestus or Poseidon or Tyche was in a bad mood and decided she needed some bad luck. Nobody besides Annabeth and Naruto knew for sure that somehow Percy had unknowingly caused the bathroom incident.
"This camp getting more and more interesting." Naruto mused as he left the dinner hall ready for activities before dinner.
AN: ok this one was done in 2 days so it might be a bit rushed (I do have a life outside of fanfic and I do have other stories I update). This chapter was mostly to show a growth in Percy and Naruto friendship (Naruto is pretty popular with many campers his age thinking he is cute). Annabeth was around but invisible for most it while Silena is back with her own cabin denying she is dating Naruto. Hope people enjoyed this chapter!
Also, Percy first archery lessons (unofficial) don't worry Chiron still won't be able to figure out why he sucks so bad at it in his first official lesson! (I thought Naruto would be the perfect teacher to try to teach him).
