AN1: Guys the PM email notifications are NOT working right now. I heard FF took that function down. So, I am replying to everyone ok! You have to check your PM inbox like I do to see response any PMs! (go to your name in top right corner, left bar- Private Messaging-inbox and tada all the messages go through but you won't get emails saying it did! This goes for all my stories! Check your box for PMs and actually read them!

Yeah like my Six Paths story and Naruto Rose story another quick kinda filler chapter to ease back into writing. Its fun but kinda tiring (its easy to read a 2K chapter not so much to write one)

I know one of my LESS popular stories (as the Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus fandom is not nearly as big as lot of animes) but I update what I want!

Chapter 19 Confusion about Romance

Naruto soon arrived back to his friends with a notable happier Annabeth, Grover and Percy chatting with his clone. His clone noticed him and vanished making his friends surprised until they saw Naruto walk up to them.

"Hey guys miss me?" Naruto joked as Percy stuttered trying to still wrap his head around the idea, they were not actually talking to Naruto a few minutes ago.

Annabeth was quicker to get her wits together and coughed saying "Ok I am going to put whatever the deal with this is on the backburner for a minute. Naruto we were just talking about~~". Naruto waved her off to the collective surprise.

"Its okay. I know you caught my clone up on what Percy talked about underwater." Naruto informed them as they all blinked in surprise.

"How did you?" Grover asked as clearly, they were not talking to the Naruto in front of them just abit ago. Annabeth also looked interested especially when he referred to the 'Naruto' as a clone.

Naruto sighed as it seemed the questors blanked or ignored his brief explanation about Shadow Clones from the Lotus Hotel. However much to his surprise Percy blinked before opening his mouth in recognition.

"Wait was that a 'shadow clone' you were talking about before?" Percy asked in excitement as Naruto smiled and nodded. While Grover looked at his best friend with pride Annabeth felt a little annoyed, she forgot such an important detail.

"Yup! So, whatever you told him I get back." Naruto said as he closed his eyes for a minute before nodding. "I see so a Nereid gave you three Pearls from your father to get escae the Underworld if we get trapped huh?". Naruto remarked as Percy looked uncertain and nodded. AN1:

Annabeth meanwhile could feel her head spinning a thousand miles per seconds with the applications of such a technique. 'He could literally learn a book and not have to read it himself!' She thought to herself while Naruto looked at her the corner of his eyes with amusement.

Percy decided to tell Naruto his fears. "Yeah but there are only 3 pearls and 4 of us now. If we get trapped in the underworld how do we all get out of there?" Percy asked in worry as Annabeth and Grover also looked uneasy having come to the same conclusion. Naruto smiled to himself glad to see his new friends worried about each other so well.

"Use the pearls on the three of you." Naruto told him as the Demigods and Satyr widened their eyes in shock.

"What are you talking about? If we use the pearls how about you?" Annabeth demanded shaking her fists in anger and fear of losing a friend. Grover and Percy also looked outraged.

Naruto gave a warm smile and winked "Let's say I have a little Ninja trick of my own to get out there in a sticky situation." When the questors gave him dumbfounded looks he just shrugged. He gave a smirk when he saw Annabeth about to ask and he even put a finger to his lips to her annoyance.

Back on Olympus

None of the other Gods saw this but Apollo had an eye twitching in annoyance 'Little Ninja trick?' Apollo thought to himself in annoyance. 'Minato had to study Tobirama's notes on the Flying Rajin extensively to actually use it! Now my kid is calling it basically a party trick?! It is the fastest method of transportation to places you been too! That brat of mine!' Apollo thought to himself as he swore, he saw a smirk from Artemis from the corner of her mouth appear. AN2:

Back on the Quest

As the questors were walking around trying to think of the next place to go to or at least an idea how to get into the Underworld. Naruto was deep in thought. Despite him thinking he might never see them again he could not help thinking of Bianca cute face or Piper very pretty looks.

'What is wrong with me? First Zoe Nee-Chan, Silena, Bianca, Piper and Annabeth. Why do they all make me feel strange and different than my sisters?' Naruto thought to himself as Annabeth studied his face before growing a playful smirk on her face.

"Hey Naruto!" Annabeth called out as Naruto blinked before focusing back on Annabeth.

"Yeah?" Naruto asked choosing not to tell the fellow blonde he was having weird thoughts about her and other girls.

"Are you thinking a girlfriend you are not telling us about?" Annabeth teased as Percy and Grover chuckled while Naruto looked confused.

"You mean like you?" Naruto asked cluelessly as Annabeth face turned red, Grover and Percy jaws dropped.

Back on Olympus

"WHAT?!" Athena screamed before she turned to Apollo and Artemis with fury in her eyes. Meanwhile Aphrodite squealed in delight. The Other Gods even Zeus chose to stay out of this while Artemis and Apollo exchanged a quick look.

"Woops your lessons are coming back to bite us in the ass." Apollo whispered as Artemis frowned but accepted responsibility for this.

"Peace sister. It is merely an understanding. I am sure it will be cleared up in a minute." Artemis said calmly as Athena narrowed her eyes but returned to her throne. Aphrodite eyes darted around with amusement.

Back on the Quest

"I am not your girlfriend!" Annabeth screamed only to feel confusion when Naruto looked genuinely hurt but her proclamation.

"Wait! Are you saying we are not friends!" Naruto asked desperately as the questors looked at each other in confusion.

"Naruto what do you think 'girlfriend' means?" Percy asked carefully as Naruto blinked.

"A girl who is my friend. Like Annabeth is my girlfriend just like Silena is too." Naruto explained with confusion as the questors looked at him in disbelief.

"Uh no… A friend applies to either gender Naruto. A girlfriend is someone you are dating." Annabeth tired to explain awkwardly. "I am your friend not your girlfriend." Annabeth added as Naruto face grew a bit happier. 'Is this guy for real? Does he really not know what a girlfriend is?" Annabeth thought to herself.

"Dating? What is that term?" Naruto asked with a curious tilt of his head. The exasperated looks his friends gave him confused him more than anything else.

"Um… The phrase when a girl and boy get to know each better before maybe getting married?" Annabeth tried to explain as she was dumbfounded especially for someone raised by two parents. Judging by the looks of Percy and Grover they were equally shocked.

"Oh! You mean courting! No, I am not courting anyone right now!" Naruto said in realization finally catching up to the conversation.

Back on Olympus

There was nothing but silence as the Gods turned to Apollo who was sighing while Artemis had a sheepish expression on her face.

All the sudden Aphrodite started to snicker before full blown giggles appeared from her perfect lips. "HAHA HAHA! You meant o tell me little Prude didn't' teach her son what a girlfriend was?" Aphrodite mocked as Artemis glared at her but the effect was greatly ruined with the blush on her face.

"Bro 'courting' came out of style months ago!" Hermes said with amazement as Apollo shrugged.

"Hey Artemis insisted she and Zoe teach him about girls so I relented." Apollo revealed as Artemis glared but did not deny this truth. Truthfully, she wanted her son to hold off having any relations till he was much older so she thought if he was taught very old fashioned 'dating' advice he would stay innocent for longer.

'I guess it was wrong of me but I love him so much.' Artemis thought sourly as she continued to hear Aphrodite mock her and Apollo for the next few minutes.

Back with the Quest

After trying to explain what 'dating' was to Naruto Annabeth reassured him they were friends but not to call her his 'girlfriend' as it was not, they were.

"Remember Naruto not to call Silena your Girlfriend either or else the rumours." Annabeth told him with a shudder as Naruto puffed his cheeks out in annoyance.

"Ok geez I get it!" Naruto whined ignoring the snickers of Grover and Percy behind him.

All the sudden the 4 of them were surrounded by 4 thugs who had pipes in their hands.

"Hey kiddies go home. This is our turf!" One of them told them and judging by his voice Naruto could only assume was the boss.

The original questors looked scared but defiant until one of the thugs looked at Annabeth with a devious smile.

"Hey boss maybe we should keep the little lady here." He suggested with a perverted look. AN4: Annabeth shuddered in fear and disgust as Naruto eyes narrowed and unbeknownst to the others turned to slits.

"You idiot. If we get caught, we will get thrown in jail!" The boss reprimanded but he did still look Annabeth over licking his lips almost as imagining Annabeth older. Grover and Percy were about to defend their friend until Naruto snapped his fingers.

Instantly the mortals stopped in their tracks with glazed looks as Naruto gave himself a few calming breaths making his pupils return to normal. Naruto snapped his fingers again as the thugs started walking in a random direction in a daze.

"Naruto what did you do?" Percy asked in amazement.

"Just used the mist again. I just made them go grab anything they stole and turn themselves to the local cops." Naruto said smugly as Percy and Grover looked at him with approval.

Annabeth gave him a warm smile and said softly "Thank you for defending me Naruto. I really appreciate it.". Naruto suppressed his hot face and smiled warmly in return.

Naruto eyes narrowed as he looked around until he saw what seemed like a harmless store nearby.

"Wait outside. I got some business to attend to." Naruto told them sternly ignoring the concerned looks he got.

Naruto walked to the store to see a giant looking man with a giant smile waving his hands kindly.

"Welcome my short friend. Would you and your friends like to lay on my beds. You all seem rather tired. My name is Crusty." Crusty said with a warm wave of his arms. While Percy and Grover looked eager to try it out Naruto cold expression did not change.

"No thanks." Naruto said before whispering "Stretcher." Before Crusty could do anything but widen his eyes Naruto drew 5 Kunais into his right hand. With expert arm that took less than a blink of an eye Naruto tossed them all so each Kunai hit a vital point. One in his head, one in his heart, liver, and one in each knee.

Crusty was frozen in a look of disbelief for a moment as Naruto friends looked at Naruto in chock and terror before Crusty turned to dust and his Gold dust got blown away into the wind.

"He was a monster?" Percy shouted in shock as the man looked human to him if not bigger than most.

Annabeth turned to Naruto who took the key out of the dust to open the door to the shop. "Naruto how did you know that guy was a monster at first glance?" Annabeth asked in shock as she did not even have an inkling till the dust proved it.

"I can see through the mist so monsters cannot use it to hide from me." Naruto reminded them as he gestured them to enter the shop which they did still in a haze. "Plus, my sisters are the Hunt who are professional Monster killers. They taught me most of the monsters throughout history." Naruto added with a proud smile on his face.

With Artemis

As the God gave various looks at how quickly Naruto defeated Procrustes (with Poseidon sighing at one of his monster sons) Artemis had a proud smile on her face and she could see an equally proud smile on her brother face.

'That's my boy.' Artemis thought to himself happily. Naruto was literally her heart and soul and she believed she raised him well along with Apollo

With Naruto

"So, who was that monster?" Grover asked nervously as they watched Naruto search the building for something only he knew about.

"That was Procrustes monster son of Poseidon also known as the 'stretcher'." Naruto said as Percy eyes widened while Annabeth nodded her head.

"The one Theseus killed a long time ago?" Annabeth asked as Naruto nodded.

"Wait he is like my brother?" Percy asked with shock and disgust as Naruto just shrugged his shoulders.

"Technically but don't read to much into it, Percy. The Gods have been alive for thousands of years so there is plenty of things they are not proud of today." Naruto said which made Percy feel somewhat better but also curious as well.

Before anyone could ask anything, else Naruto gave a shout of excitement as he pulled out a piece of paper in triumphant.

"What's that?" Grover asked as Naruto turned around with a smirk.

"A map to the underworld. You all ready to go to the Underworld?" Naruto asked as the others gulped.

Naruto thought for moment before he pulled out 3 silver Kunai knives out of his pocket unlike the bronze ones, he used to kill Procrustes.

"Take these. Don't worry they are enchanted so you cannot hurt yourself with them. Just put them in your pockets." Naruto told them seriously as Grover and Percy looked skeptical at him. They shrugged before putting the knives in their pockets.

Annabeth looked at him curiously as Naruto smiled in a reassuring way. "Just call it an insurance policy if you guys get hurt."

Annabeth was even more curious but accepted the knife regardless before studying it marvelling at its craftmanship.

'There my limited seals on their knives will both be my exit and my emergency help route.' Naruto thought to himself as he began to study the map.

AN1: Its not like Poseidon knew Naruto would be on the quest when he gave the Pearls to the Nereid right?

AN2: Basically, confirmation Naruto can use the Haraishin. He used it in chapter 5 against the Minotaur but referred to it as 'teleporting'.

AN3: I totally set this up as Artemis is his mother. (and Zoe is his older sister) they used old fashioned terms in the hopes he would never get a girlfriend or at least not for many years.

AN4: I don't support pedophiles in anyway but I just added this to make Naruto angry.

Do people like me flipping through Naruto POV and sometimes the Gods? I find it fun to use the other perspective sometimes
