AN1: I know it's been a few months… Really trying to get these older fics updated…
Ok the next chapter will definitely be the last one of 'Book one' (I just don't feel like typing it out today). Should I do another story for Book 2 and beyond? Or should I just put in the title 'Book 2: X' (the name)?
I really do love the series but writing for it can be kinda a pain. So many ideas so little will to actually put into words docs.
PEOPLE READ THE AN AT THE BOTTOM OKAY? ESPECIALLY THE LAST ONE!
Chapter 26 Meeting of Two
Naruto and Percy reappeared just outside the camp borders as Percy gave Naruto a confused look.
"Um…. Why are we outside of camp? Can't you teleport inside? Or is it like Olympus where you can't leave 'marks' inside the camp?" Percy asked as he looked around.
"Hmm? Who knows?" Naruto remarked with a mysterious and mischievous smirk as Percy sweat dropped. AN2:
'He really won't tell me, will he?' Percy thought as Naruto whistled.
"Better that you go on without me." Naruto told him as he started to step back as Percy stopped.
"What? Why?" Percy asked his friend who gave him a sheepish smile.
"Well… I did sneak on the quest and that is against camp rules." Naruto admitted as Percy frowned.
"But you helped us so much. I mean Ares would have probably killed us if you hadn't beaten him for us. Why shouldn't you get the credit for that part of the quest?" Percy demanded as Naruto shook his head.
"I have my parents and my family with the Hunt. I don't need hero worship from the campers." Naruto explained as he looked up at the sun with a smile.
Percy was about to argue but he realized his mom's opinion of him (and to a lesser degree his father's) meant more to him then having the camp recognize him as a hero.
"But doesn't the camp already know you left? I mean you are pretty popular." Percy pointed out as Naruto pouted.
"It's not like I am intentionally trying to be popular. I am just nice." Naruto claimed as he hung his head down making Percy sweat drop.
'Right. Handsome, good at everything guy is annoyed he attracts attention from everyone. I feel SO bad for him.' Percy thought rather sarcastically.
"Anyways. Who says I left the camp?" Naruto asked with a smirk as Percy raised an eyebrow.
"Um. You? Being here right now." Percy pointed out as Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"But Percy. Naruto Uzumaki has been at Camp Half Blood since he set foot in there." Naruto told him as there was a puff of smoke and an identical smirking Naruto appeared and saluted.
"Oh! That's right. You can do that shadow clone jutsu!" Percy said in realization as both Naruto nodded before the one of the left, disappeared leaving the original.
"Yup! Got it in one. This jutsu is great if you need a stand in for easy tasks. I mean I wouldn't send a clone on the quest as its pretty dangerous but here a clone is more then sufficient." Naruto admitted with his tone being slightly condescending and dismissive tone when talking about camp half blood. AN3:
'Right this guy is not the same as Demigods. I guess to him what we do at camp is child's play for him.' Percy thought realizing that Naruto did not intentionally choose to be rude. He chose to take it as an explanation rather then being offended.
"I left a clone behind before I left for the quest and he has been being me the entire time I was on the quest. So go on in and pretend to be in a daze. Its what my clone told Annabeth and Grover to act like so it didn't look like I sent you back. It was a God who sent you three back after the quest was over and your chat with Lord Zeus and Lord Poseidon was over. Got it?" Naruto told him rather briskly as he was already walking away.
"Oh. I will swap out with my clone so don't worry I am not going to leave or anything." Naruto assured him as he slipped past Percy and into the camp borders being as stealthy as a breeze and as hard to spot as a shadow.
"Please Naruto. Acting all tough." Kurama commented from inside Naruto head as Naruto eye twitched.
"Do you have something to say… Kurama?" Naruto retorted as he was hiding behing his cabin which due to being magically protected only himself or a clone could even enter. Or other people like his sisters and Hestia of course.
"You left a clone behind because you actually thought you could pull one over your parents is a 'you' was in your mother's cabin and camp." Kurama remarked with a massive toothy grin.
Naruto actually rubbed his head in embarrassment.
"I mean in theory besides having far less chakra and not actually you in them Shadow Clones are essentially extensions of me." Naruto said trying to hide his embarrassment.
Of course, as soon as he actually snuck out his parents had sensed him and his dad caught up to him a few miles outside of the camp even when he tried to use Chakra Mode to run as quick as possible.
"Well those brats called Demigods were fooled so I suppose it did accomplish part of the job." Kurama granted with a yawn.
Naruto glanced and saw his Shadow Clone following from behind the crowd as the camp were hosting Percy, Annabeth and Grover as the camps heroes for completing an important quest.
Naruto sent a pulse of chakra to his Shadow Clone who blinked as in a simple instant him and his clone swapped positions so the real Naruto was now in the crowd while his clone just shrugged and disappeared.
'So besides it being relatively tense around here as the quest details were not revealed publicly till today the camp itself was stable during his time away.' Naruto thought as he sorted through his shadow clone who took his place in camp.
Naruto resisted blushing and drooling like a horny idiot as it turns out Silena had for some reason found some free time and decided to have a water balloon fight with his clone. It would have been okay as his clone easily dodged any and all attempts of the Daughter of Aphrodite trying to douse him. Except one of his clone's balloons actually exploded over Silena much to his clone's dismay.
Silena body had gotten wet from the cold water and made her shirt and shorts cling to her developing body like a second skin and it did not help Silena made a show to wink and dry her hair in a very sexual matter in front of him. It ended with the clone watching Silena even as she walked away to get a fresh change of clothes giggling and even blowing a kiss to the far too pleased Clone.
While Naruto was trying to not think of his friend in any kind of perverted way the three 'official' members of the quest were honoured and given laurels to show their success over the quest. Naruto gave them a small smile and shook his head when the three of them looked at him with pity as if they wanted him to share in the celebration as a hero.
Up on Olympus
The Olympians were gathered together in an informal meeting as Poseidon suggested they watch the celebrations if only to show their hidden support of the quest succeeding. Athena however accused Poseidon of gathering the council just to show off his son being the official leader of the quest.
"Your daughter is also being honoured Athena so I don't quite see what the problem is." Poseidon commented while his smirk as he avoided her accusation rather smoothly.
Athena gritted her teeth but said no more as she crossed her arms in annoyance.
"Yes, job well done." Hermes said politely although he secretly was sad.
'If only Luke's quest ended like this maybe he wouldn't hate me as much.' Hermes thought sadly as he knew full well Luke blamed him for all his misfortunes in life. This included Luke's mother May losing her mind when she failed to become the next Oracle of Delphi.
"Ooh! Naruto is blushing! I wonder if he is now remembering my daughter's body?!" Aphrodite quealed in delight as she waved her hand casually.
An arrow that was flying at her shoulder turned into dust as Artemis glared at her rival with annoyance.
"Your daughter should not flaunt her body especially in front of my son! His innocent mind will be very confused!" Artemis screeched refusing to believe her beloved baby would have perverted thoughts at his young age.
Apollo smirked as his beloved son was unintentionally gaining a harem whether Artemis liked or not.
"Don't be such a spoil sport! I mean two of MY daughters have already lined up for little Naruto's heart! It would be so cute if one or maybe both of them won his heart! They wouldn't even need to break his heart to make this perfect!" Aphrodite noted with a squeal as she clasped her hands together as her eyes sparkled with amusement.
Artemis eyes grew cold as 5 arrows were turned to dust with a lazy wave of Aphrodite hand.
"Your daughters break his heart; I break your soul." Artemis warned her with an icy tone as Aphrodite smirked.
"Noted. However not even I can prevent true love from happening. Just ask Helen and Troy." Aphrodite remarked as she sighed in remembrance.
Apollo scowled as their little 'romance' would cause his favorite city of Troy to be burned to the ground and the lives of some of his favorite followers killed and sacked. Athena growled for a different reason.
'If that little harlot had down her job and stayed with Menelaus then those people could have stayed Trojan! We not have those disgusting Romans be born from the ashes!' Athena hissed in anger and hate. AN4:
Hera had a secret frown as despite her plans for Naruto she did actually have a soft spot for the young mortal. She did consider him as much her own child as Hestia clearly did for Naruto.
Zeus had a small smirk on his face as he would not judge Naruto if he did have multiple women although he was careful not to voice this opinion to his already irate daughter.
Poseidon coughed as he pointed at the mist screen.
"As fun as this is it looks like the celebrations will happen soon." Poseidon pointed out as he got the council back on track.
Ares was in an unusually quiet mood as even he knew not to push his luck. His Father had threatened to send him to Tartarus the next time he stepped out of line so even Ares knew he was on thin ice.
'That brat. That power he used. He is dangerous but he is unlikely to go against us.; Ares thought as he sat glumly in his throne. His little stunt (mostly him actually trying to kill Naruto) made him on thin ice with Aphrodite as well who refused to let him in her bed. 'Dite' as he liked to call her had coolly told him that Naruto was off limits as he would have the most interesting love life in recent times.
Ares had wisely chosen to stay quiet and avoid brining attention to himself.AN5:
'Teehee. My little Godson really does bring out such interesting reactions from my family.' Hestia thought rather happily from inside the Hearth.
Back at Camp Half Blood
"Well done Percy, Annabeth and Grover! Knew you had in ya!" Naruto cheered as he clapped the three questers on the shoulders as his eyes sparkled in warning.
'Its better this way. I don't want a chip on my shoulder and you did do the main parts of the quest.' Naruto eyes seemed to say as they gave him very discreet nods.
"Yes, well done! To our first campers to complete a quest in many years!" Chiron voice boomed as Naruto stepped back to allow the three questers to be crowned with a laurel.
Percy was annoyed and disappointed that somehow the camp had started rumours he had somehow defeated Ares to get Hade's helmet back earning the hatred of the Ares cabin. He honestly did not care about the hate part as he was already on sour terms with Cabin 5 but he hated that Naruto was okay leaving out his part of the quest. Naruto had beaten a God but nobody besides them (and probably the Gods) had even known.
Percy learned it was camp tradition to make burial shrouds for the questers in case they did not make it back alive. He was not quite sure I he was pleased or annoyed they had taken precautions in case they failed the quest.
Annabeth's shroud was made from her cabin mates so it was beautiful gray with the owls symbolizing Athena. Percy had joked that it was too bad she could not be buried in it earning a smile from Naruto and a punch in the arm from Annabeth.
Grover's shroud was made by the nymphs and was a simple wooden tree trunk which was in the middle of rotting along with dead leaves. Naruto and Percy were both confused by it but judging by Grover's happy tears it appeared he appreciated it. AN6:
Percy had learned that Ares cabin 'volunteered' to make his shroud and he heard it was going to be horrendous showing their dislike of him (which he would be the first to admit was fairly mutual) but much to his, Annabeth and Grovers surprise it did not happen.
'Naruto' (his shadow clone) had asked to make the shroud himself. His reasoning was that Percy was his friend and did not have cabin mates to do for him. The Ares cabin agreed to let 'Naruto' do it when 'Naruto' offered to back off if anyone had beaten him in a friendly hand to hand or sword spar. Of course, nobody had beaten 'Naruto' and his message was spread.
The questers all gasped when it was revealed to be a very beautiful light blue green shroud that had simple waves designs and many discarded seashells adorning. Naruto just shrugged claiming it was 'okay' design and he had gone to a beach on a hunt or two before.
Percy had to resist crying when he saw how it looked with Naruto just smiling at his friend. Percy was not happy he had to burn the shroud.
A few weeks had past included the 4th of July fireworks which Naruto strangely enough had both Annbeth and Silena share a blanket with him much to his confusion. Annabeth had claimed she 'still owed him one' (which he assumed was for his help on the quest) but Silena had just smiled coyly asking if he didn't want to sit next to her which he denied. Annabeth seemed to be abit put off by his response but they had sat together on one blanket.
Grover had chuckled while Percy just smirked at his oblivious friend while Drew and his siters squealed in their hidden spot behind some trees.
Before July ended Percy and Naruto learned that a new 'end of summer' camp bead was getting made and given to each camper to celebrate another year of being alive.
Soon everyone gathered at the camp fire where a smiling Luke held two necklaces with a single bead in it in his hands.
"It was a unanimous campo decision. A new bead to show the first Son of Poseidon in over 50 years and the first mortal child of Artemis and Apollo!" Luke declared as the camp cheered.
Both Percy and Naruto happily took the necklaces and placed them over their necks. The bead had a small trident and a small moon and sun on the other side as the camp cheered. Even the Ares camp clapped but sour expressions on their faces.
Soon August pulled in with Naruto visiting Thalia tree at least once a week to give her updates. He was confused when she seemed abit annoyed when he mentioned sitting on a blanket with Annbeth and Silena. However, he brushed it off as her being sad at not being there herself.
Soon it was August and it was near time for the end of camp for the year. Naruto and Percy learned it was optional if you wanted to stay at camp or not for the year. However, you had to tell Mr. D and or Chiron beforehand or they would assume you were leaving and would destroy any belongings left behind.
Naruto, Annabeth and Percy had gone to the camp's border to say goodbye to Grover.
"Don't worry. I will find Pan and make Satyrs proud everywhere." Grover told them as he packed his backpack full of tin cans and other things essentially.
"Take care man. I will see you next year?" Percy asked hopefully as he gave his friend a hug.
"Of course. I am still you guy's friend so I will make sure I come back by next year." Grover assured them as Percy nodded and pulled away.
Annabeth and Grover shared a tight hug as Grover was her oldest friend besides the tree Thalia and Luke who had become a bit distant since the quest had ended.
"I will ask mom if she knows anything about Pan. She is also a Goddess of Nature after all." Naruto assured Grover who looked like he won the lottery.
"You will? Thank you so much!" Grover said as he grasped Naruto's hands and shook them multiple times.
"Also, can you ask what the hunters favorite sleeping positions are and when they eat?" Grover asked excitedly as Naruto eye twitched.
"I am going to ignore the totally creepy obsession with my mom and sisters and pretend you did not ask that." Naruto said with his eye twitching much to Annabeth and Percy's amusement.
Soon Grover left with a wave as he walked out of the camp.
Naruto knew he was not as close to Grover as Annabeth and Percy were so him leaving was tough of them both.
It was August 10th and roughly the last week of the summer camp when Percy was pacing in the Dining Hall much to Naruto's amusement.
"You still can't decide Percy?" Naruto asked as Percy kept glancing at the permission slip he would have to sign if he decided to stay at camp for the year.
"Shut up! I know Annbeth is going away to try to give her mortal family another shot." Percy noted as Naruto nodded. Naruto was pleased Annabeth was convinced by Percy to give her mortal family another shot.
"I am going back to the hunt." Naruto said with hesitation before Percy could actually ask.
"Just like that?" Percy asked with a smile.
"Just like that." Naruto confirmed before his expression softened.
"Don't get me wrong. I like Camp Half Blood but I love the Hunt where my sisters and parents are." Naruto expressed as Percy nodded understanding.
"Anyways you only have a few days to decide Percy. My advice is thinking of what you want most and go with that." Naruto offered as Percy nodded with a look of deep thought.
They suddenly saw many male campers and even some annoyed female campers rush past them to go to the training area.
"Hey! What's with the rush?" Naruto shouted to one of his paternal brothers.
"Rumour has it a really hot girl is in the training area and she is just so icy!" He said with hearts in his eyes. He then ran past Percy and Naruto who exchanged strange looks.
"Any idea who he is talking about?" Percy asked as he walked with Naruto.
"I would say it would be one of my Hunter sisters like Zoe but they don't come to camp by themselves and would certainly not wait for a crowd of campers to surround them." Naruto offered as he frowned.
They soon entered the training area which was filled with dozens of male and female demigods as they slipped through till they were in the front.
'Wait this is!' Kurama thought with wide eyes as Naruto got closer to the girl.
Percy like all males in the crowd had their jaws drop when they saw the girl for the first time.
'Beautiful' would not be correct way to describe the girl. "Gorgeous and fierce" would be much more apt to describe the girl.
Sitting on a log with her arms crossed and an annoyed icy glare on her expression was a gorgeous girl. She seemed at least a few years older then all the campers being almost 20 with her mature face and curves to show her mature figure. She had somewhat dark blonde hair tied in a long ponytail reaching her well formed bum with a simple white ribbon.
She had light skin and a tall figure towering over the campers but a few inches at least. She wore a metal headband on her forehead with a Japanese looking symbol (which said 'Cloud') along with dark almost black eyes that were narrowed in a glare at the gawking campers. She had a very beautiful face with dark red lip stick which made her face stand out even more as she looked coldly at her audience.
She had a nice hourglass figure with large breasts which were fully formed and large even in her shirt and a small waist and wide hips. She nice long legs which looked skinny but strong. She had chosen to wear a simple black top that stretched over her large breasts and blue jeans which accented her long legs. She topped off her outfit with dark blue sandals that showed off her toes.
The thought in ever male mind was 'Who is this girl! She is more pretty than Aphrodite girls!' due to her maturity and body.
However, Naruto's eyes were wide with recognition.
"Yugito?" Naruto asked as Yugito snapped her attention to Naruto much to the disappointment of the guys in the crowd.
Yugito turned warm with a huge smile as she saw and heard Naruto.
"Naruto. We meet again." Yugito said with a warm smile as enjoyed the shocked expression on his face.
"What?!" Everyone else shouted as the two blondes appeared to know each other especially when Yugito expression turned a 180 for him.
AN2: Naruto's isn't going to reveal all his secrets, right?
AN3: Naruto grew up with the Hunt, 2 full time Gods (along with part time Hestia and Leto) and alluded to have been to the Elemental Nations. To him Camp Half Blood really is a summer camp not a haven. He just has fun there instead of actively trying to train harder. A shadow clone is more then sufficient.
AN4: Remember Athena REALLY hates Romans as they downgraded her to less then a figure head Goddess and basically not worth bringing up Minerva.
AN5: Look might seem OC for Ares but he is literally on a cliff with one hand holding on the ledge. Zeus is not happy with him and he knows if he was not Zeus's son, he would have already sent to Tartarus. He also feels 'abit bad' for his actions but mostly annoyed now he realizes he was being manipulated.
AN6: I haven't read the books in quite some time but pretty sure he doesn't have a shroud in canon so I made one up.
AN7: Also, the title is pretty obvious who the main characters are. If you want to read Naruto and Yugito first meeting please go to the spinoff story (which is canon to this series) "Hope of Sun and Moon Growing Up". It showed in chapter 2 how they met (I put scenes in there that wouldn't work in the main story but has relevance to Naruto's past)
