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: I don't know If this was what people expected but here it is. I can't promise weekly chapters as I am honestly not motivated enough to update all my stories consistently. On a different note what would people think of a Naruto/Dragon Ball Super crossover? (like all my stories Naruto would still be the main star)
I hate putting this on my AN but I feel its needed: I don't take requests by the way or challenges. I keep getting asked and flattered but not interested. I WRITE what I WANT to write. Simple as this.
Also, certain canon events still happened: Thalia turned to a tree (I don't think their little gang met Artemis in this one as Artemis and Apollo were more cautious due to Naruto growing up in the Hunt). Luke stole the Master Bolt, Ares taking it from Luke but getting influenced to start a war etc.
Chapter 12 Naruto's claiming is totally not the norm
Naruto just stood there awkwardly as the entire camp started yelling in disbelief at his claiming. It was hard enough that Percy was a son of Poseidon despite the Oath of the Big 3 but the much bigger news was his parentage. Not only did it appear his mother broke her sacred oath it was with her twin.
Several minutes later Chiron had enough and luckily Mr. D was there as well. "Shut up you brats!" Mr. D yelled as the camp instantly quiet. They knew he was not allowed to hurt them directly but nobody really wanted to test if he could find a loophole around his punishment.
"Thank you, Mr. D." Chiron said calmly as he coughed to clear his throat. This is no mistake Naruto is the son of Lady Artemis and Lord Apollo." Chiron announced as several people looked ready to protest but Dionysus glare quickly silenced everyone.
"If you don't believe us take a look at our little Superstars face." Mr. D said as everyone gasped making Naruto confused.
"My face?" Naruto asked with confusion. Percy just pointed at the lake so Naruto could take a look.
Naruto looked at his own reflection and could not help the gasp as well. He still had his father mortal looks but not instead of just blue eyes, his eyes had a silver light to them along with his spikey blonde hair now having Auburn tips like his mother. Naruto was extremely happy to have physical signs of being his mother child as his dad always joked that Naruto got his 'genes' much to Naruto and Artemis annoyance.
'Congratulations Naruto.' Silena silently thought seeing the happy expression on his face. For some reason she had a feeling Naruto knew who his parents were from the beginning.
Annabeth however realized something based on Mr. D's, Chiron's and even Naruto reactions that they must've knew about this the whole time.
"Chiron you knew about Naruto and never told us?" Annabeth said with some hurt as she considered him the closest thing to a real father she had ever had.
Chiron stayed quiet not knowing how to respond as the camp once again went once again into yelling mode. Mr. D however was less impressed at the annoyed campers.
"You brats have no idea what is going on here and yet you demand answers?" Mr. D hissed as his eyes started to turn purple. As annoyed as he was at Chiron's 'soft' attitude he at least respected Chiron's ability to teach children how to survive at least for abit.
Everyone grew quiet and afraid of the fuming God until they heard Naruto gasp and put his hand behind with a knife placed in it.
"It seems like you have not been slacking huh son?" A cocky yet proud voice said in amusement as everyone turned around and saw Apollo in somewhat casual clothes appear with his arms crossed.
"Lord Apollo!" Everyone yelled as everyone including Percy fell to their knees.
Naruto looked behind him to see a knife bounce off his own which was aimed at his shoulder. He had instinctively used a knife to block what would've been a blow to his unguarded side. He looked around until he saw someone in a high tree.
He leapt back as several arrows pinned where his foot was.
"Chiron! Lord Apollo! Naruto is being attacked!" Annabeth shouted in concern. Despite her hurt feelings at being left in the dark she still considered Naruto a close friend.
Several campers also looked worried but to their surprise Apollo just chuckled.
"No need to worry demigods. This is just a form of training." Apollo remarked as they looked at him disbelief.
"Who would be crazy enough to have this as a form of training?" Clarisse said gruffly. True she loved a fight but she preferred a fight she could see not all this cloak and dagger stuff.
Apollo grinned but had a dark look in his eyes as he said "You are lucky she is preoccupied training with Naruto or you might be a nice squirrel for a remark like that." Clarisse shuddered as much as she would like to say she could take on the Gods besides her father she knew just like anyone the twin archers were considered the strongest Olympians besides the Big 3 themselves. AN2:
"'She'? You don't mean?" Annabeth said in shock as everyone started to fit the clues in.
"Yup Mama Bear herself Artemis." Apollo said proudly as everyone turned back to Naruto who had somehow gotten his sword out with silver arrows and knives surrounding him. It appeared he had deflected them all leaving him uninjured if not somewhat tired.
"Glad to see you haven't let yourself grow weak my little star." Artemis said proudly as she leapt from the tree and in front of Naruto who was huffing a bit from exhaustion."
"It never seems like I can get any better since every time I feel myself grow stronger; I feel like the gap between us never shrinks even a bit." Naruto retorted with a grin.
"Of course, not Naruto. I always bump up the training just a little bit every time you improve so you don't get a big head like your papa." Artemis revealed as Naruto shrugged.
The rest of the camp were still on their knees but shocked silence at the interactions between Naruto and Artemis. True most of them had not met Artemis in person especially the males but the myths and what their parents told them said she hated being around males even Gods. Yet the Artemis in front of them seemed nothing but happy and proud of her son with Naruto seeming to have no form of formality around the Goddess.
Apollo whispered to Mr. D and Chiron who whistled getting everyone attention. "Campers in 30 minutes time we shall have a Councillor meeting in the Big House to explain everything!" Chiron announced as everyone slowly got to their feet. "Consider the rest of he evening free except for the councillors." Chiron added as everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"Clear out Brats! Artemis, Apollo and I will be at the meeting so the councillors better not be late!" Mr. D snapped as everyone except Naruto and his parents left in a hurry.
Apollo sent a grin at his Demigod children as he winked at his girls and gave a grin at his sons who awkwardly waved back at their dad as they walked off. None of them had much contact with Apollo but he seemed nicer than what had endured from Mr. D.
Silena wanted to talk to Naruto about everything but judging by the mood if the Gods it seemed like this was a private chat so she led her cabin back to the Aphrodite Cabin. Annabeth did the same who privately she swore to herself she would find the answers she craved.
Nobody noticed the dark look in Luke's eyes as he led Hermes Cabin back to their cabin. 'I was right! No matter what small steps the Gods take it means nothing! The rest of the Gods cannot spare even 5 minutes with their own children and yet Naruto gets the full attention and love of TWO Gods for himself! Despicable! I swear I will lead Lord Kronos revival and rid this world of those traitorous Gods once and for all!' Luke thought to himself angrily. He had begun to question whether the Gods needed to eb replaced when the 2 new Cabins were built but seeing Naruto's claiming and loving parents reaffirmed his belief in the Gods destruction.
Meanwhile back with Naruto, Apollo and Artemis. As soon as the campers had left Artemis snapped her fingers making them disappear into the Artemis Cabin so they could have some privacy.
As soon as Naruto blinked away the slight disorientation of Godly travel his mother pulled him into a tight hug pressing his face into her chest as she whispered into his hair "Its ok our little Moon and Sun we are here."
Apollo just stood back as he watched mother and son reunite with a smile. He would get some time shortly but he knew that Artemis no matter what she claimed was a mess when she and him were forced to let Naruto leave the hunt so he could make his way to Camp Half Blood on his own.
"Kaa-chan." Naruto said quietly just enjoying the love of his mother which he solely missed. He knew it was abit greedy of him since most Demigods rarely saw their Godly parent more than once a year due to the ancient Laws while he had 2 Godly parents who watched him always.
After several minutes Apollo coughed getting the attention of Naruto and Artemis who boke the hug. "Looking good with the Artemis traits I gotta say." Apollo commented as Artemis smiled widely as she took in her sons' new eyes and hair. "Normally a claiming would not affect your appearance but since you are different than demigods, I guess Artys appearance also got reflected on you." Apollo remarked as Artemis frowned at the nickname.
"Dad you are doing it again." Naruto told him with a sigh referring to the nickname and the fact he over analyzed things again.
"Sorry kiddo." Apollo chuckled only to grunt as Naruto launched himself into his dad for a tight hug which he returned effortlessly as if he promised for years.
"Dad, Mom I have made some friends here but I still miss you and the hunt every day." Naruto admitted as both parents smiled at him.
"We miss you too sweetheart." Artemis said as Naruto pulled away and sat in between his parents on a bed labelled 'Chloe'.
"Uh… Wont Big Sis Chloe be mad I am sitting on her bed?" Naruto asked with a wince as he remembered how protective his bug sisters were about their things,
Artemis chuckled and just said "Of course not Naruto. Remember you slept next to them almost every night when you were a child." Artemis had fond memories of Naruto as a toddler crawling and falling asleep into the tents of Zoe and Chloe on odd nights which neither minded getting to cuddle with their little brother. Naruto was embarrassed especially when Zoe started to seem different to him kinda like how he saw Silena but still different.
Naruto flushed and said "I was a kid back than! I am a lot more mature now!" Both parents just smiled at their son who tried to act like a rebellious teen but in their eyes was still their baby who could talk now.
"Sure, you are Sunshine." Apollo teased as they just sat there until Naruto realized something.
"Won't Lord Zeus be mad you are both here with me? Wasn't the whole point of me going to Camp Half Blood so he would feel you won't smothering me too much?" Naruto asked in worry. He was worried his parents would get in trouble for contacting him in the one place they were not suppose to. To his surprise his parents gave him pained smiles.
"Father has bigger issues on his hands right now then watching what we do." Apollo said evasively as Naruto glared at him with the same look Artemis usually did when they disagreed.
"Alright I guess I will explain." Apollo relented when Artemis gave him a look as well. He explained how the Master Bolt was stolen and how Zeus was sure Poseidon had something to do with it despite the lack of proof.
"You mean?" Naruto asked in shock.
"Yes, your friend Percy will be grave danger and a quest will need to issued soon before the Summer Solstice." Artemis said gravelly.
"Well why can't you guys find it?" Naruto asked in shock as he knew his father could see anything underneath the Sun and his mothers tracking skill was unrivalled.
The Twins looked at each uneasily. "Father did send us, Hermes and Ares out to scout for it but for months we were unsuccessful." Artemis said sadly.
"It is almost like a Godly force is hiding it from my sight which should not be possible since Gods and Titans CANNOT steal each others symbols of Powers. Only Demigods can but than we would be able to find it." Apollo remarked as Naruto looked troubled as well.
Naruto widened in realization "Wait is this why you have been acting so worried the last few months?" Naruto asked as his parents nodded.
"Yes, ever since the Winter Solstice we have feared more and more that Father would see you as a threat so we sent you away to Camp Half Blood so he would have no reason to doubt your innocence." Apollo revealed as he looked sadly at Naruto expecting to see scorn only to see understanding.
"I get it but I don't understand why everyone assumes Percy is the thief! He is like totally new to everything!" Naruto said with annoyance as Artemis just smiled mirthlessly.
"Father is too proud to see reason right now and he has to find someone to blame. Uncle Poseidon has always been the closest to rival Fathers powers so it makes him an easy target." Artemis explained.
Naruto sighed and asked something he was wondering for awhile. "I realize Aunty Hestia is not suppose to interact with Demigods but where is she? I have only seen her once at camp since I got here." He had seen her at the camp fire and swore Percy saw her too but she only winked at him and vanished in the flames before he could talk to her.
"Your Aunty has the most important job right now. She is the only reason Father has not gone to war with Uncle already. She is the only thing that keeps Olympus stable right now but I fear if the Master Bolt is not returned by the Summer Solstice not even, she will be able to hold back Fathers rage." Artemis revealed as Naruto grew infuriated that his peace-loving Aunt was forced to play peacemaker when his grandfather was not seeing right.
Naruto was about to ask more but Apollo just stood up and said "Sorry kiddo but its time to explain to the camp who you really are." Artemis held Naruto's had as she prepared to teleport them out of the cabin which was enchanted so only her, Apollo, Naruto and the hunt could actually enter. Not even other gods were able to enter without permission.
"Are you guys going to tell them about you know?" Naruto asked looking down at his stomach.
Artemis and Apollo just smiled at him before wrapping him in a brief hug. "Of course not. Nobody but us and the Council needs to know about the other power you hold Naruto." Artemis assured him as they disappeared in a light ready to explain this to Greek Demigods.
AN2: There I added this so people would stop complaining that I think Artemis and Apollo are 'weak'. They are stronger than Athena (in my story at least) but still not as powerful as the Big 3.
AN: I KNOW you wanted everything in one chapter but I thought this was a good stopping point and hey I am writing this so year my story my choice.
Somebody pointed out why doesn't Percy just plead on the River Styx he didn't do it. Here is what I said:
Let's say in canon somebody suspected Luke was the Lightning Thief and made him swear on the river Styx. He could say "I do not have the Master Bolt" which is technically true (he already gave it Ares at this point). And if somebody suspected Ares he could say on the River Styx "I did not steal the Master Bolt" (which is also true as Luke stole it and Ares took it from Luke)
You see? Swearing on the River Styx does not mean much unless you swear on every loophole. (In the Mark of Athena Piper makes those Edolions-ghost things- swear to leave the ship and never possess any of the crew but they found a loophole to still attack Leo, Hazel and Frank later on.
Loopholes matter. So even if Percy swore Zeus would still find a loophole and blame Him. Plus, most of the council besides his own father (and to some degree Artemis and Apollo-due to his friendship with their son) are best neutral to Percy so they would not take his side.
The Council is interested in Naruto due his origins and cautious of Percy because of the prophecy.
BTW Naruto is not exactly bound by fate like Minato thought in chapter 2 (He said it more a protective way as he wanted to give Naruto his best chance and that was with complete Kurama).
Feel free to ask stuff but super long questions I don't have answers for as I have not written or thought of everything.
