Chapter 30 book 2 chapter 3 Granny Leto the Insanely powerful but Teasing Titan!
After Hades left, Apollo and Artemis were on Naruto instantly as they looked him over with concerned eyes.
"Hmm he doesn't have any physical injuries and I can't sense the power inside of him from Hera or Hades colliding or interfering with each other." Apollo noted as his eyes seemed to glow as he analyzed his son on a molecular level.
"Do you feel okay? No murderous tendencies or anti-social behaviours?" Artemis asked as she patted Naruto's forehead with her palm.
Naruto blinked as he looked at his arm which flickered a symbol for Hades Helm of Darkness showing that part of his power was inside Naruto. Naruto shook his head much to his parents, the Hunters and Yugito relief.
Naruto blinked again as he stood off getting Artemis hand off his forehead. Naruto whiskers were now much thicker as his eyes turned red with a black slit. His teeth became sharper and bigger as if he was now a fox.
"I could have told you that nothing was going to happen to him. Nothing negative will affect him while I exist inside of him." Kurama stated in his deep voice as he crossed his arms and frowned at Artemis.
The Hunters resisted their natural urge to try to shoot him partly as it was their little brother body and reluctantly, they were unsure if they could even hurt him if they tried.
"Kyubi. Don't swap with my son without my permission." Artemis grunted in annoyance as she resisted knocking him out and getting her son back into her arms.
Kurama sneered at her before smirking with a toothy grin.
"Sorry 'Kushina'. Oh wait I think you hate that name Goddess of the Hunt." Kurama taunted smiling when Artemis glared at him and looked ready to summon her bow.
Before anyone could say anything else the right hand of Naruto bonked Kurama on the head seemingly outside of Kurama control.
"Ow!" Kurama grunted before he blinked.
Kurama whiskers returned to normal along with hie eye colour returning to blue with sprinkles of silver. His teeth also returned to their normal size and human shaped.
"Be nice! Kurama and Mom!" Naruto chided as he crossed his arms disappointed in both his mother and his tailed beast partner.
"Tch. Good luck getting your mother to apologize." Kurama stated from inside the seal closing his eyes and looking the other way.
Artemis looked abit shamed when her son looked at her pleadingly.
"I am not apologizing. Its not my fault that…. Kurama doesn't know how to speak politely he takes control of your body." Artemis stated saying Kurama's name when Naruto frowned. She intended to say Tailed beast but relented partly for her son sake.
'They still can't along. They are like water and oil and simply not compatible. Although I guess I am little better than Artemis. I just cannot bring myself to apologize for Minato sealing Kurama into two parts no matter how briefly. Artemis will never apologize or claim any responsibilities for what Kushina did especially in regards to her treatment of Kurama while Kushina was his Jinchuuriki.' Apollo thought summarizing the situation. AN2:
'I really wish everyone could get along. Its really not that hard. I mean we are all the same team after all.' Naruto thought with a sigh.
Yugito blinked before her eyes changed to be different colours with one eye being yellow and the other green with no pupils. Her nails also grew slightly in her normal state without her using her jutsu.
"Aw Kurama is embarrassed. Hard to think a single Jinchuuriki could bring out feelings not shown since our creator the Sage of Six Paths!" Matatabi teased with a grin while in control of Yugito's body.
Naruto eyes flicked back to Kurama for just a moment. Long enough to growl before control returned to Naruto.
Chloe walked up to Zoe nervously.
"Is it me or is it creepy that little Naruto and Miss Yugito can just swap control with those 'tailed beasts' without any fear of them doing something to their bodies?" Chloe asked her 'older sister' Zoe.
Zoe frowned before she shook her head.
"It might be weird for us for are just ourselves but for Jinchuuiki like them it is the best situation. Naruto told us himself that the only way for him to have full access to Kurama's chakra is with it being a partnership not trying to steal the chakra. The fact they could freely swap back and forth means that they have a trusting relationship." Zoe admitted admitting that it wasn't a bad situation for Naruto to be in.
Matatabi who was using Yugito body turned to look at Zoe with a curious expression. She whistled as she looked Zoe up and down.
'Oh? You are one of Naruto-kun's Hunter sisters correct?' Matabi asked with a notable purr in her voice.
The hunters looked confused at the suffix added to their little brothers name.
"Kun is just an honorific to add affection to a male name. In Japan its used to be friendly or to denote someone younger than you. Chan is the same but for females." Apollo explained with a smile.
"Ah the Yellow Flash true form. Naruto-kun father." Matatabi greeted with a nod of approval. Apollo nodded back.
Matatabi turned back to Zoe expectantly who blinked before she gave a small bow but her eyes showed slight distrust.
"I am Zoe Nightshade. I am Naruto's oldest sister and I will never let anyone hurt him no matter who it is." Zoe declared with a determined look as Artemis gave a warm smile of approval.
"Hmm you certainly have the looks and the attitude needed. I don't see why you can't join. Although I guess its up to him whether he wants to or not." Matatabi mused as she rubbed Yugito's cheek.
"What are you talking about?" Zoe demanded with a frown.
Apollo and Artemis understood Matatabi hidden phrasing and had different expression. Artemis eye twitched at the possibility while Apollo had a fatherly look of pride. The other hunters also had various looks of confusion.
"Oh nothing. Forget I said anything. It's a pleasure to listen in to the adventures you will have with my Yugito-chan and little Naruto-kun." Matatabi claimed as she waved.
A moment later Yugito's eyes returned to their normal dark colour and her finger nails returned to their normal length.
'I seriously hope Matatabi was not suggesting that Zoe forsake her vow of chastity when Naruto-kun is older? I do not want to think of the cans of worms that would open if that happened.' Yugito thought as she heard Matatabi simply give her some giggles in response.
Zoe returned to Naruto who blushed slightly when Zoe rushed up to place her forehead against his.
"Are you alright? No pain or aches?" Zoe asked she gently rubbed Naruto's whisker cheeks with her fingers.
Naruto cheeks reddened as Zoe warm breath could be felt from this close of distance and her sweet familiar scent seemed to waft into his nose. Even Zo'se kind voice warmed his heart as he tried to calm his breathing.
"Nope. Everything is fine!" Naruto squeaked.
Zoe placed her hands onto his cheeks so she could look him directly in the face. She did not really register the red cheeks but he did not seem to be in pain or distressed.
"That is good. Whenever you are in danger or distressed, I can feel my heart ache. You are very special to me Naruto." Zoe admitted with a warm smile as Naruto looked away with a blush.
"I know! I care about you too!" Naruto replied as he didn't see his mother give his father a glare for daring giving Naruto a thumbs up.
All the sudden his older but now shorter sister Chloe pouted and rushed at him as she grabbed onto him. Naruto instinctively held Chloe by the shoulders as she held him close and looked up at him.
"No fair! Zoe is not your only sister! You can't forget about me just because you are taller then me! I watched your steps as well as Zoe!" Chloe stated annoyed at the special attention he was giving to Zoe.
Naruto laughed and just hugged his older sister whose pout turned to a smile as she cuddled up to him.
"I will never forget you Big Sis Chloe! Or any of the Hunt!" Naruto promised as he gave her a warm smile.
The rest of the Hunt smiled down at Naruto and Chloe knowing that Naruto was closest to Chloe partly as Chloe was the first to accept him and watched over him nearly as much as Zoe herself. It also helped that Chloe was rather childish when it came to Naruto especially in Naruto's childhood.
Zoe nodded in approval although she was abit confused on why Naruto seemed to be more relaxed in Chloe presence then her own.
'Its strange. Recently Naruto has been unable to meet me in the eyes anymore and seems to fidget when I give him hugs. He used to instantly cuddle up to me as soon as I hugged him. Hmmm. Perhaps its some effect of growing up although I do not understand how getting taller would change his opinion on me?' Zoe thought curiously blissfully ignorant of Naruto's hormone making him realize Zoe was an attractive woman. It did not help Naruto was essentially the only male she would be willing to give a hug to without plunging a thousand arrows to anyone else who tried.
Artemis and Apollo smiled especially as Chloe being the most recent Hunter and being stuck at the young age of 8 made Chloe more like Naruto's actual sibling, he grew up then the rest of the Hunt who occasionally doted on him too much like a baby.
Yugito smiled and nodded as she was glad Naruto had Chloe to be his overly affectionate sister.
Artemis and Apollo looked up as if they sensed something before sighing.
"What's wrong Lady Artemis and Lord Apollo?" Yugito asked politely as the Hunt looked at the Twin Gods with a curious expression.
Chloe reluctantly let Naruto go who walked over to his parents and crossed his arms.
"She is coming huh? I can sense her massive aura coming closer." Naruto noted.
"Aura? Like the Gods? Nice be nice being a sensory type huh." Yugito commented with a sigh as Matatabi did give her Jinchuuriki sensory like abilites.
Naruto turned to Yugito with a nervous smile as he rubbed his head.
"You could say that depending on who you are she is scarier than the Gods or more loving then your best friend." Naruto remarked as grinned.
Before Yugito could ask for more she had to cover her eyes as a massive amount of light and energy sudden appeared in the camp ground.
'This presence. Again, it feels like tailed beast chakra but clearly isn't. So, this is another Immortal huh.' Yugito thought as she kept her eyes closed.
Artemis and Apollo looked directly into the light not affected by the Godly/Titan aura announcing an arrival of an immortal. Naruto also covered his eyes but he could tell who was there. The Hunters also had to cover their eyes despite their semi-Immortal state from the blessing of Artemis.
"Hello mother. Looking beautiful as always." Apollo stated dutifully as he bowed his head.
Artemis rolled her eyes but nodded her head as well.
"Mother I am guessing you are a tad annoyed?" Artemis asked with a sigh.
'Mother? That means this is Lady Leto? Another of the immortals I get to meet.' Yugito thought pleased as she had been taught the basics of at least the relationships between the Gods and Immortals in general before she came over.
"My children. Give you mom a hug!" Leto demanded in her majestic soft tone that seemed to be softer than a melody and yet louder than a speaker at the same time. It was like she was in control of the camp without having to raise her voice.
The light soon faded away allowing Yugito to look at the newest Immortal in the camp directly in her so called 'human' like form. Yugito would admit being a tad jealous of the immortal mother of Artemis and Apollo for her sheer beauty.
'Okay I know immortals are suppose to be flawless or as close as flawless as possible but wow Lady Leto is something else.' Yugito thought as she analyzed the Titaness.
Leto despite being able to change her form freely had chosen a single form to manifest similar to her children choosing to keep a stable and consistent form for the sake of their son. Leto seemed to be the perfect blend of her children. She had the same blue eyes Apollo had while having the skin tone of Artemis being paler. Leto hair was in the same style as Artemis's ponytail and auburn like her daughter. It was clear that anybody who didn't know Greek mythology could see how Leto could be the mother of Artemis or Apollo or more likely be seen as an older sister. Leto only appeared a few older than her children who were in their early 20s form for their son.
Leto was wearing a pair of blue jeans, white running shoes and sleeveless black sleeveless shirt. She wore a silver moon earring on her left ear and a golden sun earring on her right ear seemingly to show her support for her children's main domains. Despite looking rather 'modern' her gorgeous looks still shone through as a simple smile seemed to make the very air shine. She also wore a pair of golden and silver bracelets on each wrist to further show her connection to her children/
Artemis and Apollo rushed into her arms as they rested their heads into her arms as she gently patted their heads as if they were simply her children and not thousands of years of old immortals Olympians.
The hunters were on their hands and knees in respect to the mother of their Goddess and grandmother of their beloved baby brother.
"If you didn't know Grandma Leto beauty is still considered one of the most beautiful to this day despite her staying out of the spotlight most of the time." Naruto informed a blushing Yugito quietly.
Unlike usual Naruto was not blushing even a little being close to the beautiful Yugito Nii seemingly completely at ease due to his grandmother being there.
Leto was caressing her children's hair as she gave Artemis and Apollo her motherly love. Leto then looked up as if she heard Naruto's words before a giant smile appeared on her face.
"My baby! How are you Naruto?" Leto squealed as Artemis and Apollo wisely ran out of her arms.
Leto dashed so fast she left an after imagine behind that was standing. She appeared and grabbed Naruto pushing him into her chest. Yugito blinked as it happened so fast, she was pretty amazed.
'She doesn't look like it as first but she is definitely powerful.' Yugito thought before she looked at Naruto's face which was currently being squished into Leto's chest.
'Okay I am not really attracted to other women or anything but I can understand why guys would kill to be in Naruto-kun's position.' Yugito silently admitted as Leto chest was notably big and from what she could tell was rather soft and bouncy based on how Naruto was struggling.
Yugito had heard that immortals in general were so 'perfect' that humans could never match up to them in sheer looks and based solely on Leto she could understand how Immortals would have 'unattainable beauty'.
"Ghh Blh! Lhh!" Naruto muffled voice could be heard as his face was completely in his grandmother chest despite being in a shirt.
'Grandma's chest is a nice pillow but she is kinda cutting off my air supply.' Naruto thought as he struggled to get loose if only to get a breath of fresh air and not his beautiful grandmother's bountiful chest. His face was starting to turn red as despite his best efforts he could not remove himself from his Grandmother's strong grasp.
"How cute my Naruto. You seem to have gotten more mature since I last saw you." Leto cooed as she rubbed the back of his head even as his face was pressed into her chest.
"It's only been a few weeks mom." Apollo sighed as he face palmed at his over affectionate mother giving even more affection to his beloved son.
Artemis had an annoyed expression on her breath-taking face as she closed her eyes and one eyebrow was twitching. She crossed her arms and was tapping her foot due to her mothers' actions to her own beloved child.
"Excuse mother. Naruto is having a touch of trouble breathing. Please let him go before My son will need to be healed by us… again…" Artemis asked politely with a smile but her arms were crossed.
'So, is this a common thing? I can only assume Naruto has only recently started going for puberty so it might not have been a big deal before…. But he is now growing up so having his face in the soft chest of a woman like Lady Leto might be confusing.' Yugito noticed.
Leto sent a pout at Naruto before she looked down to see Naruto still struggling in her chest with only his spikey yellow hair with red tips visible.
"Mortals and their need to breath. I swear men would happily die to be in your position." Leto claimed with a sigh as she reluctantly pulled Naruto away from her 'pillows and held him by the shoulders arms distance.
"Grandma! Please don't say stuff like that! People will get the wrong idea!" Naruto whined as he grasped for air taking huge gasps now that his face and nose were not being smothered.
Leto giggled and brought Naruto close again but this time putting her lips to his forehead.
"I love you Grandma." Naruto told her warmly as he looked up even as she pressed her lips to his forehead.
Leto held onto him for a few seconds before stepping back with a kind, loving smile that put Yugito and the Hunters heart at ease.
"I love you too little one." Leto replied back just as warm as she kissed him on the cheek briefly.
Artemis and Apollo nodded in approval but Apollo smiled mischievously as he pointed at Naruto's forehead. Artemis sighed resisting face palming.
"You got a little bit on your forehead and cheek Naru." Artemis told him as she pointed at his face.
Naruto jumped up quickly wiping the red lipstick of his beautiful grandmother who didn't look a day over an extremely attractive woman in her mid 20's. Leto looked more like Apollo and Artemis slightly older sister then mother but since she was an immortal Titan this was hardly surprising. Naruto had managed to escape Leto grasp to rub away the lipstick markings.
"Grandma! Do you need to wear such a notable shade? Whenever you kiss me it looks like its from a girlfriend or something!" Naruto whined as the Hunters and Yugito giggled at his cute expression.
Leto merely smiled as she placed a finger on her luscious, glossy looking lips and winked. This would have made any man besides Apollo want to pin her down and make love to her.
"Comes naturally to me. Plus, its my little Naruto. Why wouldn't I want to give you all the love in the world?" Leto answered easily.
Leto then grew a saucy smirk as she winked as she looked down at her grandson from both of her own children.
"Besides Naru. When you get older you will need some experience for your future partner. Having me kiss you will not be a big deal especially when it might not be on your forehead." Leto teased as she was amused at Naruto looking like a tomato.
Naruto's hair had returned to Artemis natural auburn and his eyes had turned completely turned to silver making him once again look like a mini male clone of his mother. She swore she could see steam come out of his ears as he was trying not to pass out.
'Well, this is different. Perhaps my dear little moon's power inside of him takes over at lease physically when he is embarrassed?' Leto mused looking interested and amused.
Leto turned around as her teasing smile vanished when she heard a cough from Artemis while Apollo looked at her with a frown. The Hunters were still bowing but had slight frowns at the beautiful Titan even suggesting teasing their beloved brother.
"Mother. Once again I cannot tell if you are joking. That is kinda scary all things considering." Apollo sighed as he face palmed at his mothers unpredictable attitude.
'To be honest I can't really tell if she is teasing or joking. Considering Lady Leto literally looks like she is still in her prime and besides the age thing it wouldn't even be that odd in my world. I mean how else are bloodlines still around if there isn't any sort of inner family relations.' Yugito thought to herself drily as Matatabi giggled in her mind. AN3:
"Mother. Please don't suggest that to my child. You will ruin his innocence and give him strange thoughts for the future." Artemis ground out as she walked past Leto to grab Naruto.
She once again put his head on her lap and rubbed his hair in a comforting matter. This calmed Naruto down enough so his hair and eyes returned to their natural dual colour representing both of his parents.
Leto shrugged as she materialized a comfy chair out of nothing and sat down crossing her legs. Luckily she was wearing jeans like mortals of this day and age so she was not exposing anything from the position of her legs.
"Is it that odd little ones? I haven't been with anyone besides your father and that was over 4000 years. I do have standards and letting my beloved grandchild gain experience from one night with me is nothing to be ashamed about." Leto commented lightly as Artemis glared up at her.
Artemis had taken the liberty to put her hands over her child's ears and shifted him over so he wouldn't be able to see Leto.
"Mother please stop. What Naruto chooses to do when he grows up is up to him. I do not want anyone to give him suggestions when he is still pure and innocent." Apollo asked in a calm rather fatherly voice.
The Hunt smiled softly as they got off the ground and briefly looked over at Apollo who was their fatherly figure even if they would never say it out loud. Yugito blinked before smiling as well as she was rather used to having men much older than her comment on her good looks besides a few like Killer Bee and the 4th Raikage.
Artemis hid it well but Naruto from his angle could see the tiniest amount of gold on her cheeks.
'Dad must have said something really special for Mom to even blush abit.' Naruto thought happily as he hoped his parents would be able to find a way to be together in some way.
Leto laughed before a giggle was let out.
"Alright alright. I will stop. If my irresponsible son is chastising me then I know I have gone too far." Leto promised as Artemis had released her hold over Naruto's ears.
'Apollo really has matured quite abit being in that other world and especially raising my dear little Naru. He has become rather fatherly and judging by the way Artemis is looking at him she might actually find it charming.' Leto mused as she saw out of the corner of her eye Artemis looking at Apollo with a hint of a blush which quickly vanished.
'Hmm maybe they will make it official. Honestly, I would be thrilled if they would stop dancing around the issue. My son can keep anyone from pursuing Artemis and Artemis can keep Apollo honest and grounded.' Leto thought to herself but chose to not comment.
Leto turned to the Hunt who bowed again as she nodded to them with a hint of a smile but it wasn't as warm or welcoming as the look she sent to Naruto.
"Pleasure to meet to see you Artemis little Hunters. I suppose in a way you are like her daughters too." Leto commented as the Hunt bowed their heads while Artemis nodded in approval.
Leto turned to Yugito with a raised eyebrow who gave her a small bow.
'Hmm this one is rather pretty. I would say a child of Athena or even Aphrodite if not for the lack of a Demigod aura. Perhaps a mortal? Like from Naruto's world?' Leto mused as she looked Yugito up and down.
"Hello Lady Leto. My name is Yugito Nii. I am a Jinchuuriki of the Two-Tails and I was brought here to be a ward/guest of Lady Artemis and Lord Apollo." Yugito greeted with a polite tone similar to the one she used for Apollo and Artemis.
Leto nodded looking at Yugito youthful and pretty face.
"Plus, she is one of the best! She is like me!" Naruto cheered as Yugito laughed.
"That's right. I am the best but you are also the best." Yugito agreed with a warm smile.
The Hunt was silent but Zoe frowned silently at the pretty blonde although she couldn't exactly tell why Yugito annoyed her.
'Huh I can sense a crush forming. 19 years old huh. She is starting to peak. I can see a lot of Apollo fellows Gods trying to seduce her if not for her being under their protection.' Leto thought to herself.
Leto then crossed her arms as Artemis and Apollo sighed.
"Now why has it been over a month since my grandson has gotten a hug from me? Or why have my children not visited their dear lonely mother? Well? I am waiting." Leto asked in disappointment.
Before Artemis or Apollo could explain Naruto got up from his mother's lap and ran up to Leto.
"Its not their fault Grandma!" Naruto assured Leto who giggled shaking her head.
"Oh I am not disappointed in you little one. I am more interested in why I had to come personally to see you." Leto explained kindly.
"Grandfather told them I had to go to Camp Half Blood by my 12th birthday and stay there during the summer months. It was the condition so I could travel with them the rest of the year in peace." Naruto explained seriously as the Hunt frowned at the mention of the Greek Camp.
'So that is how it is. Lady Artemis did vaguely tell me that Naruto couldn't travel with us all the time but wasn't clear why.' Yugito thought.
"It does make sense little one. From what we understand Zeus is the head God so even though Artemis and Apollo are some of his favorite children he has to set some rules or be accused of outright bias." Matatabi chirped inside of her mind as Yugito silently nodded.
'That's right. The mortal children of Gods are suppose to 'go their own paths' aka their Godly parents are suppose to be so off hand in my world they would be considered abusive.' Yugito thought sadly with some sympathy running through her heart.
Leto sighed as she crossed her arms. She saw Apollo and Artemis share a look of sadness as they looked at Naruto longingly.
'So they love him so much they freely admit the hypocrisy of only takin care of Naruto for about 10 months a year rather then Demigods who are only typically see their parents a few days if that in an entire year.' Leto thought to herself seriously.
"Ah yes. Lord Zeus. To be honest knowing him it is more surprisingly he is so lenient in the whole 'taking care of your children' laws he is so proud to enforce. Although I suppose since you are not a Demigod there is some wriggle room." Leto mused with a wink at Naruto who laughed.
"I suppose so. He seemed rather strict when I met him but he did seem to have a hint of pride in me as well." Naruto commented with a thoughtful expression.
Leto smiled as she saw Artemis give a sigh of relief that her grandson was still alive after meeting Zeus in person. Leto surprised Naruto by creating a giant couch in the middle of the forest with a snap of her fingers. She happily grabbed Naruto and placed him on her lap as she sat on the couch holding Naruto in place.
Leto giggled as she ran her fingers through Naruto's soft spikey blonde hair with red peaks. Naruto head got to rest on her slim stomach and whenever she shifted him in her arms Naruto blushed slightly. His head rubbed against his grandmothers very large and soft breasts that brushed up against his head.
"Now tell me if you have any stories? I heard from several sources down the vine that you faced off against Ares?" Leto asked but her tone with dangerous enough to make the Hunters and even Yugito flinch in fear.
Naruto got over his blush as he shifted so he could look up at his grandmother in the face. He seemed to not notice the tone as his smile was genuine and happy.
"Hehe you heard huh? To be honest I thought Percy and Annabeth and Grover deserved the credit for the quest. They did most of the hard work. I only really joined in at the end." Naruto stated modestly making all the females beam at him and Apollo grin with fatherly pride.
"Mostly as Mom and Dad were being too overprotective and everything." Naruto added with a pout that made Leto want to rub his cheeks endlessly.
"Hmmph!" Artemis only reply as she crossed her arms and huffed.
Apollo had the decency to looked embarrassed and rub his head. The Hunt not surprisingly agreed with their Lady with nods of approval. Yugito however gave Naruto a look of sympathy as she and Killer Bee had personally been confined to the Cloud Village for many times due to the Raikage A's protectiveness of them.
"Anyways I managed to utilize Kurama's chakra to a higher level and that allowed to send Lord Ares onto his butt!" Naruto stated proudly as Leto yelped in surprise.
Naruto had sprouted a version 1 tail without manifested the cloak itself from his behind. The red chakra tail flicked and moved like any real tail from a fox.
Naruto stood up as he looked up at Leto with a wide grin.
"Me and Kurama are partners so the tailed beast chakra doesn't harm me anymore and we can use our combined power freely." Naruto stated as the Hunters were on edge at first however they calmed down when they heard Naruto in his normal voice.
Chloe took a look at the tail and started rush forward. Before anyway could stop her, she hugged Naruto tightly and rubbed her face against his chest.
"My little Naruto is so cute! That tail is so cute! Just like a baby fox!" Chloe squealed as she continued to glomp her younger brother.
Naruto blinked as he hugged her back and just to please her the chakra tail patted her on the back showing its dexterity making her squeal even more.
Leto smiled at her grandson before she walked up to Artemis and Apollo.
"Kurama?" Leto whispered to Artemis who sighed crossing her arms.
"The Kyubi name given by the Sage of Six Paths. Please use it mother. Naruto is very particular about the tailed beasts having the respect of using their names not tail numbers." Artemis whispered back as Leto blinked but nodded.
Yugito nodded in approval as she also summoned a red version 1 tail on her back as she waved at Naruto. Naruto looked up when he felt Yugito use Tailed Beast chakra and blushed when he saw Yugito.
'Okay this is so weird…. Somehow, she actually looks better with a tail… Is there something wrong with me?' Naruto thought to himself as he couldn't understand why he was more interested in Yugito after she manifested a tail. For a moment he imagined Yugito with her tail and a pair of ears but somehow despite it being formed from version 1 cloak it actually made her even more cute in his eyes.
Yugito was confused at Naruto's expression as she tilted her head and unknowingly made herself even more cute.
'I wonder what is wrong with Naruto-kun? Does he have a fever or something? Should I check or does he need to rest on my lap?' Yugito thought cluelessly not knowing the latter option would make Naruto even more embarrassed.
'My sweet Yugito-chan. To think you reject boys and men all the time but the one you are close to you don't realize his feelings for you. The irony.' Matatabi thought with a smirk.
The Hunt was just as confused as Yugito not seeing why Naruto would be even slightly affected by her growing a tail like him.
Leto giggled to herself at the expression on her grandson face as she covered her mouth with her dainty and elegant wrist. Apollo was grinning ear to ear while Artemis sent a discreet scowl at Yugito.
'Now I remember why I wanted to blast her. She is too good looking! She will seduce my baby without even trying at this rate!' Artemis thought with annoyance as she crossed her arms.
When Apollo saw her right hand twitch he sent her a warning look that made her raise an eyebrow but she nodded.
'Fine. I get it. I can't turn every girl that hangs around into ash. Believe me if I thought I could that Aphrodite girl would have been turned into a deer already.' Artemis sent a telepathic message to Apollo who frowned.
'Artemis.' Apollo replied in a rare stern tone as Artemis sighed.
'Fine. On our son's name I will leave them alone unless they physically harm our son or Olympus in some way.' Artemis amended in their mental conversation as Apollo nodded.
Naruto got over his blush as he gave Yugito a reassuring smile. Yugito looked at him for a moment before nodding and smiling softly.
Leto nodded as she studied the Jinchuuriki with a curious expression.
"So this is Jinchuuriki who have control over their tailed beast chakra. It is rather powerful but calm I must say." Leto commented as the chakra from the tails expanded over their bodies.
Now both Naruto and Yugito had entered a Version 1 cloak and they shook their head.
"Its not about control." Yugito explained as Naruto nodded.
"Its a partnership. Both our chakras form these cloaks." Naruto elaborated as Leto gave an 'ah expression.
She looked at Artemis and Apollo who barely held their grins of pride back.
"This is how I look when I take it to the next level!" Naruto shouted as he closed his eyes.
The Version 1cloak vanished back inside of Naruto before there was a shockwave of power. Naruto was now covered in a flame like yellow cloak that covered his entire body in a human shaped Chakra Mode cloak.
The shockwave made the Hunters cover their eyes from the brief surge of wind and take a few steps back while Yugito Version 1 cloak swayed slightly but she didn't get pushed back. Leto and Artemis gently held their long hair back but along with Apollo were not pushed back from the surge of wind.
"What do you think Grandma?" Naruto asked excitedly as his eyes had turned orange and his yellow charka cloak was surrounded by orange flame like chakra.
Leto hummed as she put a hand on her chin looking over the chakra cloak.
"Impressive. Its very powerful. Reminds me of an immortals Godly power but in control and not wildly flowing outwards. I can tell it greatly increases all your abilities as well." Leto noted with an impressed smile and a proud look in her eyes.
Naruto grinned before Leto turned to Yugito with interest.
"Little one. Yugito. Can your tailed beast chakra do that?" Leto asked with interest as Yugito chakra cloak vanished but she only rubbed her head in embarrassment.
"Eh nope. As far as we can tell only Naruto and Kurama had the unique ability to form the cloak like that. The rest of us can transform into the Tailed Beast itself or form parts of their body without the full transformation." Yugito admitted.
To prove her point a blue chakra tail that was the same colour as the chakra that formed Matatabi's body formed from her behind. It swayed for a minute before vanishing back into herself. Naruto also chose this time to have his chakra vanish as both Jinchuuriki returned to their 'base mode'.
Leto clapped making the Hunt to look at each other before they clapped as well.
"Thank you. That was very enlightening." Leto admitted smiling.
Yugito and Naruto shared grins as they bumped fists. Yugito surprised Naruto when she rubbed his head but then placed his head into her developing breasts as she hugged his close.
"I am glad I will be able to spend this time with you Naruto." Yugito whispered to him as she continued to hug him.
Naruto couldn't reply as his face was getting smothered by his fellow blonde jinchuuriki busty chest. Unlike with Leto Naruto couldn't bring himself to struggle so he just closed his eyes and let his face be smothered into something so soft he swore he was falling asleep in a very soft set of pillows.
Apollo was whistling with pride as he honestly thought that Naruto and Yugito would be an interesting pair.
'That's my boy. Heh to think he has such a babe willing to let him into her chest like that. I wonder if Naruto will get more 'interesting' reward when he grows up abit?' Apollo wondered as he kept an eye on Artemis from the corner of his eyes.
Artemis eyes were flickering with silver light as she restrained herself from going into her Divine Form or sending a pin point arrow at the back of Yugito's head.
'Must restrain myself. My baby is still pure and innocent. She is not a harlot just a young woman showing her appreciation for my child.' Artemis chanted to herself trying to remain calm.
The Hunt grit their teeth as their baby brother who was getting hugged in what they considered a much too intimate hug from a woman who was notably much curvier and bustier then they were as Yugito was her actual age not a pseudo immortal stuck in their current physical age. They had to restrain themselves from trying to tackle Naruto out of her grasp and sending dozens if not hundreds of silver arrows at the beautiful blonde.
Yugito kept hugging her fellow jinchuuriki for another few minutes although for Naruto it could have been hours for all he knew before an amused Leto coughed into her hand.
"As nice as this affection is I do believe that it is enough especially in a public setting like this." Leto commented but her smirk indicated she personally had no issues with it.
'This Yugito certainly beautiful enough for my grandson. She seems to truly care about him and she could be an interesting woman for my great grandchildren. I suppose I will let Naruto decide what he wants.' Leto thought to herself before she looked back to see a seething Artemis.
'I won't be her biggest obstacles though it will be my dear little Artemis. She will be a mama bear who doesn't believe any woman is worth her baby boy heart.' Leto mused.
Yugito blinked before releasing a panting Naruto. She did leave a small but affectionate kiss on his cheek with a giggle as his face turned red. She walked back to Artemis with an unintentional sway of her very well-developed hips. She honestly did not understand how her actions would be 'wrong' and just thought Naruto was being very cute.
Yugito missed the glares the Hunt were sending her but she did tilt her head when Apollo had to physically restrain Artemis who seemed to glaring at her. Leto giggled into her hand and waved her off when Yugito looked her way.
Naruto shook his head to clear his head as he grinned up at his parents and grandmother.
"Okay so now we have almost a year together so I want to spend this as family time like before!" Naruto chirped as he raised hand up into the air.
"That's right! I haven't had time to cuddle with my little brother for months now!" Chloe whined as several of the Hunts argued on whose tent Naruto would time with.
Naruto looked away as Yugito laughed at his expense.
"Don't worry Naruto. If you feel lonely you can sleep in my tent. I don't mind. We are pretty much siblings at this point anyways." Yugito assured him as she did a closed eye smile.
Naruto blushed but Leto noted he did seem abit put off.
'Ah so its not just my imagination. It seems little Naruto wants Yugito to see him as more then younger brother. How cute. Give it a few years Naruto. As long as Yugito hasn't found a man by then you can try to earn her heart.' Leto mused with a smile.
'Its really eery how much Yugito looks like a fully grown daughter of Athena or a very beautiful daughter of Aphrodite. If not for Artemis and Apollo protection and probably Zeus's implicit threats I could see basically every God to try to seduce or bed Yugito at this point.' Leto added mentally.
Artemis had a notable fake smile as her eye twitched.
"There isn't any reason to worry. Naruto can sleep in my tent. I have a bed all set for him." Artemis stated brightly as the Hunt pouted and Apollo laughed.
Yugito tilted her head in confusion as Naruto himself frowned.
"I am not a baby! I can sleep in my own tent perfectly fine!" Naruto stated but Artemis shook her head as she put her hands on her hips.
"You will always be my baby boy. No matter how old you get. This time apart has felt like an eternity to me." Artemis stated sadly as Naruto heart broke at the expression on her face.
Naruto rushed forward as he buried his head into her stomach wrapping his arms around her. Artemis kissed his forehead and wrapped her arms around his smaller frame.
"I will always love and need you Mom." Naruto assured him as Artemis sighed in relief.
Yugito awed at the scene while the Hunt smiled in contentment.
Apollo walked next to Leto with matching smiles.
"Just another day with our Naruto." Apollo noted as Leto grinned.
AN2: I did say in chapter 16 that Kurama still doesn't like Apollo or Artemis. Here its shown at least for Artemis is pretty mutual dislike if not slight annoyance. Apollo has nothing against Kurama but he isn't really going to get on his knees to apologize for something Minato did.
AN3: If there is any series that has it, it is the Percy Jackson series which is based on Greek mythology. Plus like my other stories I honestly believe for clans to still have blood that isn't diluted to nothing by Naruto's era there must be some marriage within the clan itself. (If everyone married out of the clan over many generations bloodlines would all but vanish especially over a thousand years)
