Element Nations, Land of Fire, Konohagakure, Training Ground 44 Forest of Deat
Deep inside a dark forest holding back a gigantic brown snake was Naruto Uzumaki, and he was standing in front of his teammate Sasuke Uchiha.
On the top of the snake was a man with long smooth black hair and black eyes, and he was dressed in plain grey garbs with a black polo and pants underneath, a thick purple rope belt tied in a large knot behind his back, blue tomoe-shaped earrings, and shinobi sandals with bandages around his calves.
"So he's still alive, but," The man thought before his tough shot out of his mouth and around Naruto, "Now this will not do," The man said around his tongue as he formed a hand seal.
"Now then, let's look at you," He said as his tongue moved Naruto's jacket with his tongue.
Along with a tattoo that was on it.
"What the-when did Naruto get that," Naruto's female Sakura teammate asked herself in thought as she looked at the tattoo.
The man looked at the tattoo, "Now, this is fascinating when this seal sends a minuscule about of the Kyūbi's chakra into you, and when you feel range, that amount of chakra increases, and you become nothing more than a mindless beast," He said as he moved his hand behind his back as purple chakra formed with five symbols.
Sakura watched as the man moved his hand over Naruto's tattoo before he rammed his hand into Naruto's chest, "Gogyō Fūin," The man called out.
The blond's eyes shot wide before they locked on to Sakura, who saw that something had happened to Naruto's eyes.
They gained crosshairs, and Sakura felt something on her hand, but the man threw Naruto over his shoulder before she could look.
Sakura quickly pulled out a Kunai and threw it at Naruto, hoping it would pin him to a tree, but the man saw Kunai fly and throw one of his own.
Both Kunai hit just before Sakura's could pin Naruto to a tree, and Sakura could do was watch as Naruto fell into the darkness of the forest below, "NARUTO," She called out, "DON'T WORRY
WE'll find yo-," She was calling to Naruto, but he became dead to the world as he fell.
Naruto's body fell thou a great distance before his body rag-dolled over branches as they broke, and it was not just the branches that broke.
As Naruto landed, most of his body was broken, with his arms and legs broken with blood seeping out of his hands and legs along with his mouth.
After a few hours of lying on the ground, a tiger walked up to Naruto, thinking he was an easy snack but was blind-sighted by three bears that seemed to guard the young ninja.
But that was not all that was guarding him.
Wolves and foxes joined the bears in fighting the tiger, and knowing that it would not win, it ran as the bears started to huddle around Naruto along with the wolves and a fox.
But they did not know that they were being watched by something.
It was a small and slim reptile with a wolf-like body shape, light green scales with blue and reddish stripes covering its body, and a blue-coloured underbelly.
It kept out of the forest as the animals looked ready to fight it, but it shook its head, "I'm not here to fight," It said, showing that it had a male as it walked over to Naruto before taking a sniff of him, "Could he be the one we need," He asked himself in thought before he turned to the animals.
"I can take him to a place that can heal him if you let me," He told them as the animals looked at each other before one bear carefully lifted Naruto onto the back of another as all the animals that were there turned to the reptile, "You all want to come with me," He asked them as they nodded.
He sighed before nodding, "Fine now, then form a circle around me," He told them as they all did as asked, and then the next thing that they knew was that a large technique formula formed beneath them and then they were replaced with a large puff of smoke.
Summoning Realm, Shinki Sekai
The reptile, along with the animals and the knocked-out Naruto, was transported to a massive forest which is also comprised of clearings close to the coast and a combination of cliffs and giant trees that create a vast vertical space.
Around their feet was thick and lush with greenery high in the cliffs and branches of massive trees, with a large lace with rivers branching out of it.
The reptile led the troop of animals in the forest as other reptile-like animals looked at them, leading them to a colossal mountain in the middle of the woods.
The small troop followed before they came before a great beast.
It was a reptilian as well, but it was more significant than the one that led them in, and it looked to be the same size as a Bijū, if not bigger than them.
It had six large, muscular legs, and its body was primarily covered in lime green scales with yellow scales around its long neck.
Its face was covered in a very light shade of red scales with the same colour scales covering its tail with a spiked club.
Spikes ran down its head to the tail club with spikes running up its legs.
It was a mighty dragon.
"A Jagras; what is your name, little one," The dragon said with a deep male as its white eye looked down at the Jagras.
"I'm Shōsan, the sout you sent out, Asgorath-sama," The now named Shōsan called out, "And even thou I have brought animals here, the human that is with them, I believe that he could be our summoner," Shōsan said as Asgorath turned his gaze to the knocked-out Naruto.
"A jinchūriki and a demi-god," Asgorath muttered as he moved his head closer to Naruto, "But before he can be tested, he needs healing; call Grandeeney so that she may heal this boy," Asgorath said to a small dragon next to him who nodded and flew off.
As they waited, Asgorath watched the animals guard Naruto, and he could tell that they knew they could defeat them, but they would go down fighting.
And after, a small white another dragon joined them.
It was a large, four-legged Dragon whose appearance differed considerably from Asgorath's.
Its white body appears covered in tissue similar to bird feathers rather than scales, and its feet also resemble bird talons.
The head of this dragon looked covered in what appeared to be fur, and the skull was somewhat broad and flat, with the fur extending down the neck and to the upper chest region.
"You summoned me, Asgorath-sama," The dragon asked with a gentle female voice.
"Yes, Grandeeney heal this human so that I must speak with him," Asgorath said as the now-named Grandeeney nodded, moved closer to Naruto, and held out her claw, showing that her front claws were also her wings.
"Hīru," Grandeeney called out as her claw let out a sky-blue glow, and Naruto also gained a sky-blue glow as his broken bones started to heal and the blood leaking out started to be drawn back into him.
After a couple of minutes, Grandeeney put her claw down, but Naruto still did not wake up, but Asgorath nodded to her, "Thank you, I'll take it from here," He said as he moved one of his claws over to Naruto and moved his jacket out of the way, "So I was right his chakra is being stoped and disturbed by another seal," He thought as looked at the seal before moving his claw away and looked to the bear who was carrying Naruto.
"Can you set him down and get his jacket off so that I can remove the seal that is disturbing him," Asgorath asked the bear, who nodded and slowly, with the help of the other animals, set Naruto on the ground in front of the dragon with a wolf and the fox working together they got his jacket off, "Thank you, now then," He said before he moved his claw back over Naruto and placed it gently on the Uzumaki's seal.
"Ryū Fūinpō: Fū Hakai," Asgorath called out; his the top of his claw gave off a dark green flow as the seal that was recently added to Naruto as starting to glow the same green before it began to vanish and when he moved his claw away the seal that was added was gone.
Asgorath turned to Shōsan, "Return to your brood while we wait for him to awaken," He told the Jagras, who bowed his head and then walked over to the cave and Grandeeney also left, leaving Asgorath, Naruto and the small troop of animals in the cave.
When Asgorath turned back to Naruto, he saw his head resting on a woman's lap.
She was a fair-skinned and slender woman of feminine build with silver-violet eyes and long crimson hair that was tied back into a ponytail.
She wore a white shirt with an open silver jacket, black form-fitting pants that reached her calf, and black boots.
Asgorath narrowed his eyes at her, and as he was about to speak, she beat him to the punch, "Thank you for helping my son," She told the dragon, but she did not look at him.
Asgorath lay down as his head moved to that it was level with both the woman, "What is your name, goddess," He asked her as he studied her.
And the animals that were around her as well.
The three bears were sleeping around her, with the wolves curled at her side, and the fox curled on Naruto's chest.
"I am Artemis," She said as she looked up at the dragon, "And do you think that he will be a good summer for the dragons," Artemis asked him.
"I do not know, and only if he passes the tests of mind, body and soul," Asgorath said before he looked down at Naruto, "But for some strange reason, I believe that he is going to pass each test with flying colours," He told Artemis who nodded.
Both of them talked some more as Artemis set Naruto to rest next to one of the bears, and after about an hour, Naruto started to wake up, and he looked around, seeing the strange area that was around him, "What the-where the hell am I," He asked as Asgorath looked down at Naruto who looked shocked at the giant dragon in front of him, "Are you with that snake freak," Naruot asked him shaking slightly.
"Snake freak," Asgorath asked as he looked at Naruto, "I do not know who you speak of, but I know of the snake summoning clan if that helps," He told Naruto, who looked confused for a second before nodding.
"Oh, I get it, like my sensei's dogs," Naruto said before looking around, "Where am I," Naruto asked as he looked.
"You are on Shinki Sekai, the home of the dragon summoning clan," Asgorath said as Naruto turned back to him, "One of the many dragons under me found you and brought you here to heal and to see if you were the person that we have been waiting for to sign our summoning scroll," The giant dragon told Naruto who nod before his eyes shot wide but Artemis cut him off before he could speak.
"This realm and yours have different time zones, with this realm moving faster than yours," She told him as Naruto turned to her, his eyes shooting wide.
"You're the woman in my dreams," Naruto muttered as she smiled.
"She is your mother, young demi-god," Asgorath said as Naruto headshot him.
"My mother, demi-god," Naruto asked as he looked between the two of them.
"Demi-god means a child born from a mortal and a god, in your case, your father and I," Artemis said as she walked over, "And you look so much like your father," She said as she looked at his face.
"Then why could you not-" Naruto started but stopped when he saw her sad face.
"Raise you," She finished for him as he nodded, "It all started around two thousand years ago with my half-brother Hermes who fell in love with a mortal woman and had a daughter with her," She told her son, who nodded along as Asgorath listen in.
"He was so in love with her that he forgot his duties as a god, but Hermes did not care; not long after that, he soon wished did as Hermes soon watched the woman he loved and daughter grow old and die before his very eyes," She said as she looked at Naruto and he could see that behind her youthful looks her eyes looked old, "He shut down and was close to fading from the word so the leaders of the different pantheons came together and decreed that no god or goddess shall raise there child," Artemis told him as Naruto nodded.
"If you do not mind me asking, I have heard the name Artemis before, and they say that you're a virgin goddess," Asgorath said as Artemis nodded.
"Your right; I am, and technically, I still am, but it's slightly weird," Artemis said as Naruto cracked his head to the side.
He had still not released the animals around him.
"What do you mean," Naruto asked her.
"Well, my immortal father, who I do not see as my father, was being an absolute fucking dick, so his wife, my step-mother, came up with a plan as she was tired of the tyranny of Zeus, so she went to me, and my twin brother," Artemis said as both dragon and demi-god nodded, "Both of us agreed, with my reason because of one of my half-brothers and Apollo well he wanted to stop being blamed for every time a prophecy comes around, and he gets blamed if it's not what he wants," Artemis said as Naruto shook his head at that.
"Then we split up to gather more help, so I went to my uncle Poseidon who agreed to do it as Zeus was being unreasonable; Hera went to my favourite half-brother Hephaestus who made robes that would bind him to his chair, and my twin gave the word to our half-sister Athena," Artemis said as Naruto nodded, "And it almost worked as was getting him to promise to rule fairly but then a being known as a hundred hander and ruined it, and so he punished most of us," Artemis said as Naruto looked shocked.
"Punished for wanting him to rule as fair," Naruto asked, but Asgorath sighed.
"It happens, young fox, as with the best intentions can lead to good, but if the one that sees it does not like it, he can do as he wishes, and if that someone is a ruler," Asgorath said with a shake of his giant head.
"While Athena and I were not punished, I was being watched closer than normal, but then thirty-nine years ago, one of my hunters did something terrible," Artemis said as both Naruto and Asgorath listened carefully, "She, while hunting down a monster slaughtered a small group of men that was neither in her way or helping the beast and the fates along with Zuse was furious with both her and myself, and I was not the happy with her as well," Artemis told them as Naruto's jaw dropped open.
"Why would she do that," Naruto asked as Asgorath nodded.
"I asked her the same question before the fates and Zuse, and her response was that she was ridding the world of filthy pigs without any sign of guilt as I knew that I did not help with how I am," Artemis said as Naruto looked questionably at his mother, "I hated men as when I grew up in a place were men would happily take advantage of women and that sadly has not changed as so I have a strong dislike for men but that has lighted slightly," Artmis explained.
"Oh," Naruto said, stroking the fox on his stoush.
"Anyway, I banished her from my hunt and turned her into a pig herself, and then I gave her a head start before releasing my wolves on her, but that did not stop my punishment," Artemis said as both males nodded, "The fates told me that they have given out a prophecy and that I had a part to play in it and all I needed to do was have a child," Artemis said as Naruto looked at his mother.
"Me right," Naruto asked her as Artemis nodded.
"Yes, anyway, when I was told this, I was beyond pleased and did not like it, but I went to Mount Olympus and had my soul move to a mortal body," Artemis said as a smile started to crawl onto her face, "Before I was fully put in the mortal body I was told the prophecy, and it goes a mischievous blue-eyed boy who can name all the Tailed Beasts and frolic amongst them and change the world," She said as Artemis smiled at Naruto.
Before he could speak, she continued, "I was then born to the head of the Uzumaki clan, Daisuke and Hikari Uzumaki and was named Kushina, but I still kept the goddess part of myself as I grew up, and one day, Daisuke asked me to follow him before we overlooked the sea and asked one question," Artemis said as Asgorath raised a brow.
"And what question was that," He asked her.
"Tell me, Kushina, what do you see, I told him the sea, but he shook his head before he pointed into the sea; I looked closer and saw a whirlpool, so I told him," Artemis said with a fond smile on her face, "He nodded and told me that the Land of Whirlpools has been the home of the Uzumaki clan for a long time, but I already knew that; be he then turned to me and said the whirlpool is also represented the Uzumaki and our lives and then he asked he my name when I said Kushina, he asked me my real name so I told him, and we talked, and then I slowly started to let my walls down around him before I one day call him dad instead of Sir or father," Artmis said as Nauro smiled.
Her smile soon vanished, "Soon thou, the second great ninja war happened, and our home was being targeted by Kiri, Kumo and Iwa, so my siblings and I had to split up, with my brother going to Ame and my sister going to Kusa, while I went to Konoha and was made when you are," Artemis said as Naruto looked shocked, "But It was a duty that I trained for with my father and me after Mito-sama transferred the Kyūbi I then went to the Ninja Academy where I met your father," Artemis said as her smile returned this time a loving smile as Naruto's smile also returned.
"A Namikaze if I'm right, judging by the little fox's smell," Asgorath said as Naruto's eyes shot wide.
"You mean," Naruto asked as Artemis nodded.
"Yes, your father was Minato Namikaze, but when I met him, I thought that he didn't have the physical attributes and was far too polite and nice as well as to quiet, and when he said that he wanted to become Hokage, I scoffed, but after a few days of living in the village Kumo tried to kidnap me and take me to there village," Artemis told her son who looked angry.
"So they tried that back then as well," Naruto said as Artemis looked confused as well as Asgorath, "Ten years ago, Kuma tried to kidnap a Hyūga for them, but that failed," Naruto growled as his eyes turned red as Artemis nodded.
"That is how the Raikage is and how Kumo has always been the most power-hungry nation," Artemis told her son, who nodded, "Anyway, before I tell you the rest, I have to explain something, you see, I used to hate my hair colour, it was bad for hunting as it stuck out like sore thumb," Artemis explained as Naruto looked shocked.
"Why is that it looks better in blond," Naruto said as Artemis looked at him with a smile, "And I think that I would have loved to have your hair; I mean, it's a beautiful colour," Naruto told her as Artemis smiled at him.
"Realy," She asked him as Naruto nodded, "Well anyway, on my way to Kumo, I started to pull strands of hair out, hoping that someone would find me, and someone did," Artemis said as Naruto gained a smile.
"Dad," Naruto asked her.
Artemis nodded, "He came thou the forest quickly barreling thou the grown Kumo-nin before he picked me up and started to carry me back to Konoha, and when I asked him how he could have found me, Minato said that he saw my beautiful red hair on the floor and had to save me as he did not want to wake up the next day and not see me and from that day I started to love my red hair as it was our red thread of fate," Artemis said as both boy and dragon smiled at the sweet moment, "Anyway years past and I became a Kunoichi of Konoha and placed on a team under Tsunade Senju and on my team was Mebuki Haruno and Tsume Inuzuka while on your father's team, he had Mikoto Uchiha and Teuchi Ichiraku who was taught by Jiraiya, who was your father's father," Artemis said but sat the name Jiraiya.
"I have heard about this Juraiya; he is the summoner of the toads, if I am not mistaken," Asgorath said as he gained a thoughtful look.
"That's right, you see, out of your three grandfathers, two are men driven by lust, and only one of them actually cares for their family," Artemis said with a wave of her hand, "Anyway, your father and I started to date when we became Genin and when we became Chūnin I met your father's mother and found out that he was like you," Artemis said as Asgorath's eyes shot wide long with Narutos.
"He had a demi-god father as well as a goddess for a mother," Asgorath said as Artemis nodded.
Naruto looked at his mother in shock, "Who was his mom," Naruto asked her.
"My name, my little cub is Amaterasu," A woman's voice said as the three turned to see a woman walking over to them.
They saw a pale-skinned woman with delicate facial features who had long, sweeping black hair, the same blue eyes as Naruto, and thin eyebrows, and she wore a red shade of lipstick on her lips.
She wore a high-collared white hime-kimono with two large red circles on the leaves with a necklace of green jade tomoe, and over her feet looked to be white tabi and royal sandals.
Samurai armour seemed to cover her arms and shoulders, and at her waist was a round mirror.
Artemis turned to her and smiled, "Hello, Amaterasu; how are you," Artemis asked her as the other goddess walked over.
Naruto got up off the bear and walked over to his grandmother, "So," He started, now knowing what to say as Amaterasu smiled.
"You wish to know about me," She asked Naruto, who nodded, "Very well, I'm from the same world as your mother, and my domains are the rising sun, the royal family of the country that I belong to and of creation," Amaterasu explained to Naruto.
Artemis smiled at her mother-in-law before turning back to Naruto, "After I met your grandmother, I told Minato who I really was, and he did not care, so I was happy, and we spent many years together," Artemis said before he eyes became sad and the smile vanished, "Then that night thirteen years ago when the Kyūbi was released from the seal," Artemis said as Naruto looked at his mother.
"What happened," Naruto asked her.
"The night I went into labour, Minato was there making sure that the seal did not brake as I was giving birth to you, and it did not brake, and you were born without a problem," Artemis said before the air around everyone chilled, "But then someone came in killed both my attendants and my midwife and held you hostage, and he ordered Minato to step away from me, or he would kill you," Artemis said as Naruto's eyes shot wide.
"Minato sprung into action and saved you, but as I was too weak to fight back at the time, he captured me and released the Kyūbi before they had it rampage thou the village and Minato and his a toad by the name of Gamabunta fought the fox and released it on the men hold," Artemis said as Amaterasu looked sad as she knew where this was going, "I used an Uzumaki technique called Kongō Fūsa to make a barrier, and I originally plant to seal it back into myself, it would kill my mortal body, but it would give Konoha five to six years to prep while it reforms, but your father told me that he was going to seal it in himself, but then the Kyūbi broke the chains that were holding it back," Artemis explained to Narito and Asgorath who nodded.
"And Minato was weakened from his fight with the man that released the Kyūbi from Artemis, so he could only do the best option at the time," Amaterasu said as Naruto looked at her.
"And seal the Kyūbi in me," Naruto said as both goddesses nodded.
"Minato used an Uzumaki Fūinjutsu called Shiki Fūjin, and it summons the Shinigami to seal anything so long, and so we prepared to use another Uzumaki Fūinjutsu by the name of Hakke no Fūin Shiki that would let you use a small part of the Kyūbi's chakra, but then the fox went to kill you so both Minato and I jumped in the way of the claw," Artemis said as Naruto looked shocked, "Minato started to adjust the seal while I sent my last mortal words to you before he finished the seal and sealed the Kyūbi in you and we both died not soon after that with me returning to my godly body more in tune with myself than ever before and my hunters as happy to see me return," Artemis told them.
"But something happened, didn't it," Asgorath said, reminding everyone that he was there.
"Yes, I went to Olympus to see my daughter-in-law, and I found her balling her eyes out at the loss of her husband and the fact that she could not see her son, and I joined in grieving, and as I hardly ever have a demi-god child my grief was much stronger and weeks passed as we grieved over Minato and that we could not be with you, but Artemis knew that if she did not do something Zuse would find you and his paranoia would lead to your death," Amaterasu told him as Naruto turned to his mother.
Artemis nodded, "I rejoined my hunt, and over the years, I have been gathering favours from over gods so that one day I could help you, and some of the gods that knew of you said they would help none less," Artemis said as Naruto nodded.
"Is that why you are here," Naruto asked her.
She nodded, "Yes, I called in one of my favours when I felt that you were close to death," Artemis said before she smiled, "And I have decided that I'm now going to call them in so that I can train you up to be a Chūnin," Artemis told him, but Naruto looked shocked.
"I need the training to be a good Genin first," Naruto said as both his goddesses and the dragon looked confused.
"Surly, you have had training by your sensei," Asgorath asked him, but Naruto scoffed.
"All Kakashi-sensei teaches me, and my teammate Sakura is teamwork drills while he takes my other teammate and trains him in Katon ninjutsu," Naruto said as Artemis looked shocked.
"Kakashi, you said," She asked her son and when Naruto nodded, "Oh, Kakashi, what are you doing," She muttered.
She then gained a thoughtful look on her face, "What about Hana Inuzuka, Kurenai Yūhi or Yūgao Uzuki? Have any of them taught you anything," She asked her son, who shooked his head.
"The only people that you and Dad knew that helped me are old man Ichiraku and Jiji," Narito told his mother, who looked shocked.
Asgorath let out a growl that shook the ground, "And humans wonder why jinchūriki grow to hate their village," He growled out as Amaterasu looked angry beyond belief.
Artemis then shook her head, "Alright, then tell me what you know so that I can help you," Artemis said as Amaterasu shook her head along with Asgorath.
"What can we do to help him," She said as she indicated to herself and the giant dragon.
Artemis looked at the two of them in shock, along with Naruto, "But he needs to go thou the summoning test," She asked Asgorath, who shook his giant head.
"The test can be done at any moment, and I can allow the young fox's training here," He told her.
"And it is given for a grandparent to spoil their grandchild," Amaterasu said as Artemis looked over to her before a small smile formed.
"Thank you," She said as all three turned to Naruto.
"Well, to start off with Leaf Concentration Practice, how to throw a Kunai, I was always second with that only because I was given weighted Kunai, the Nawanuke no Jutsu; I can throw Shuriken, be it Fūma Shuriken or normal Shuriken, and I was third but again was given weighted Shuriken," Naruto said as a twitch formed on Artemis' left eye, "Let me see the Kakuremino no Jutsu, then I kind of mastered the Fūnyū no Jutsu and Kaifū no Jutsu," Naruto listed off as two more dragons entered the cave that they were in.
They both were massive but were smaller than Asgorath.
The first dragon had platinum scales that glowed with a faint blue sheen and blue eyes.
The second five heads, one black, one blue, one green, one red and one white and a long tail tipped with a venomous stinger, and its body was covered in dark red scales.
"I know how to use Kaifūjutsu: Shuriken and Kage Shuriken no Jutsu as well; I make my own Explosive Tag and Smoke Bombs," Naruto said as they nodded, "Senbon, I struggle along with the Bunshin no Jutsu as I just can't do that Jutsu as the clones look dead, Kawarimi no Jutsu I'm sort of ok with and, I'm excellent with the Henge no Jutsu, and I've made my own Justu that I call Oiroke no Jutsu where I turn into a woman," Naruto said as Artemis looked shocked.
But Naruto was not done, "I also know the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, and I mixed the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and my Oiroke no Jutsu to make something called Hāremu no Jutsu," Naruto said before nodding, "Oh then there was the Ki Nobori no Shugyō, and that's it, and I can use Wire Strings," He said as the others looked at him.
They nodded as Artemis made an internal list, and Amaterasu looked at her grandson, "So no Genjutsu or Taijutsu," She asked him, but Naruto shook his head.
"What about his demi-god powers," Asgorath asked as Artemis looked at the dragon and then at Naruto.
"Alright, I want you to say yes or no as my aunt and I had to make a list for just this moment," Artemis told Naruto, who nodded, "So Moonlight Empowerment, like making you stronger, faster, more energy, more durable and faster healing," Artemis said as Naruto closed his eyes.
"Yes, I felt it for the first time on the night I became a ninja," He told her as she nodded.
"Night Vision," Artemis asked, with Naruto nodding again.
"A few years ago, when I was younger," He told her.
"Gender Sawping," The moon goddess asked as Naruto nodded.
"Yes, last week I was having an argument with someone that I'm teaching, and before I knew it, he was changed into a girl, and both he and I were shocked before the next day happened, he turned back to normal," Naruto said before he gained a thoughtful look on his face, "And for some reason when I use my Oiroke no Jutsu I turn into a girl, like a true transformation," Naruto said as Artemis smiled at him.
"Wild Shape, the ability to fully change into an animal," Artemis asked as Naruto nodded again.
"Yea, when I was younger, I turned into a fox for a while, and sometimes I sleep like a fox," Naruto said as Amaterasu started to pitcher what Naruto looked like as a fox.
"True Hunter, that means that you can hunt anything," She asked Naruto, who narrowed his eyes in thought.
"Kind of a few weeks ago when I was in wave, I was tracking something, and it was easy," Naruto said as his mother nodded.
"Virginity Detection, that means you can tell if a woman or girl is a virgin," Artemis explained as she looked shocked.
"Is that what it was," Naruto said as Asgorath raised a brow at him.
"What do you mean," Asgorath asked the blond.
"Well, there is this Anbu who watches over me, and for some reason, I know that she's a virgin," He said as the dragon nodded.
"Beast Speak, meaning you can understand all animals of the world," Artemis said as Naruto sighed.
"Yes, and that was annoying when I found out when I was doing D-rank missions with walking dogs, and they are all hyperactive," Naruto said as Artemis smiled at him before going over the list again in her head.
"Alright then, there are only two abilities left, but those are for when I claim you as my child," Artemis said as Naruto nodded but looked confused.
"Why can't you claim me now," He asked her.
Artemis opened her mouth, but Amaterasu cut her off, "You do know when you became Kushina, your soul was put in the body of the stillborn," She said as Artemis looked at her with a raised brow but nodded, "Your entire soul and I mean both halves," She said as Artemis' eyes shot wide before, she looked at Naruto.
"Diana, if you would," Artemis thought before she heard a voice that sounded like hers but had a ruffer tone.
"I thought you would never ask," Diana said as above Naruto's head a silver glow before it started to take shape.
It was a crescent moon with an arrow in the middle of it.
"Now then, let's start with your training," Artemis said as Naruto nodded.
"But first, the tests," Asgorath said as Naruto turned to the dragon, but he pointed to the dragon with platinum scales.
"Tell me, son of Artemis, what would you do with our summoning contract," The dragon asked Naruto, and the voice sounded male.
"I would protect my village and those that I hold dear," Naruto said as the dragon's eyes blue eyes started to glow before he let out a roar.
"You have passed the test of the soul," He called out as the dragons with five heads were next.
"Next is my test, and it is the test of the body," The dragon's far left head said in a sleepy voice but sounded female, "Are you ready," The centre head asked as she moved all her heads over to Naruto.
And it shocked the goddesses and the animals when the dragon unleashed five beath attacks at him.
As they rushed in, the dragon stopped, and they found that Naruto was not affected and looked fine, so she roared, "You have passed the test of the body or otherwise known as the test of will, as those with weak will would have been burnt then frozen, poisoned then shocked before melted by acid," The centre head told Naurto as the goddesses sighed in relief.
Asgorath then approached Naruto, who looked up at him, "The final test is known as the test of the mind," He told Naruto as he raised a claw up and touched Naruto's head, and both their eyes glowed.
Asgorath glowed white, while Naruto gave off a slight blueish-silver glow before moving his claw out of the way and letting out a roar as well, "Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki, son of Artemis the Moon Maiden and descendent of Amaterasu the Rising Sun, you have passed the test of mind, and you may become the summoner of our dragon," He told Naruto as another dragon walked in.
This dragon was serpentine with emerald green scales, a yellow underbelly, four legs and two arms, each having three claws.
Long silver hair flowed off its head along with a tuff of silver hair on the end of its tail, growing down its back with crimson red hair as well that started at the crown of its hair then down its back and along its tail and unlike the three that was in the cave already this one was the side of a horse if this dragon walked on all six legs.
Oh, and on its head were two large moose-like antlers, and it was wearing a purple vest and leather tassets with fur lining.
"Majira, this young man has passed the three tests and allow him to sign it," Asgorath told the now-named Majira, who moved something off his back.
It was a black and red scroll before Majira started to unroll it to show where the name would go was empty. Artemis looked at him, "Wright, your name is in blood, and then if needs be, they will tell you to add something," Artemis said as Naruto nodded, and so he wrote his name after he bit his thumb before looking at Asgorath.
"For us dragons, a Chakra Stamp would do for us," He told Naruto, who looked at his mother.
"Put some blood on your finger before sending chakra to the blood and then press it on the scroll," Artemis told him.
He did as he was told, and when he pulled his finger away, it sowed his symbol.
A spiral that flows into a lick of flame.
Majira then rolled the scroll up before turning to Asgorath, "Is that all Asgorath-sama," Majira asked, showing that they were male and at Asgorath's nod, Majira walked out the mouth of the cave.
"Now, to train you up," Artemis said as she walked out of the cave with Naruto, Amaterasu, and the animals.
They all walked over to a large lake that had some dragons drinking from it; as they turned to the approaching group, "Now let's start with Suimen Hokō no Gyō and this is like Ki Nobori no Shugyō, but you will need a thick constant stream of chakra on the bottom of your feet as you walk across the water's surface," Artemis said as she continued walking until she reached the excellent distance away, "Now it's a good idea to wear clothing that is good for swimming so I'll be back in a moment with just what you need," Artemis said as she glowed silver before she teleported away.
Relm of the Gods, Under The Sea, Atlantis
Artemis appeared underwater before her form changed to a great white shark before she started swimming to find the god she was looking for.
After an hour of swimming, she was met with a large city on par with her home Mount Olympus, with wide courtyards and columned pavilions.
Twenty or thirty buildings are made of abalone, white but gleaming with rainbow colours.
Fish and octopi dart in and out of the windows.
The gardens are full of exotic sea plants and coral colonies, with luminescent jellyfish drifting about like Christmas lights.
In this centre was the Palace of Atlantis, which was as big as a mansion made of pearl, sea stone, and abalone shells. The paths are lined with glowing pearls, the doorways are enormous, and the roof has a big open deck that has been set up as a command centre.
A merman guard turned to see Artemis approach in shark form, "I seek an audience with my uncle," She told them as they nodded and let her in.
She swam in and found the throne that her uncle sat upon and found that it was made out of coral.
The mosaic on the floor showed an exact map of the palace grounds and the surrounding ocean, along with coloured stone tiles representing different armies, and sea monsters shifted around as the forces changed position.
After lazily swimming around, the god that she was waiting for turned up.
He has black hair, a neatly trimmed black beard, a deep tan, and sea-green eyes surrounded by sun crinkles, and his hands are also scarred like an old-time fisherman's.
He was dressed in leather sandals, khaki Bermuda shorts, a bright Hawaiian shirt, and a cap decorated with fishing lures which said "Neptune's Lucky Fishing Hat."
He looked at the shark was near his throne before he sensed the power that was behind its power.
"Artemis, it's good to see you," He said as he made a small air bubble in the water for her.
Artemis turned back to her standard form before smiling at her uncle, "Uncle Poseidon, do you have any swimming trucks that I can have for my-" She said before Poseidon cut her off.
"Your son," He asked her with a smile as she nodded, "Sure, but can I meet him," Poseidon asked her.
The moon goddess raised a brow, "Yes, but can I ask why," She asked.
Poseidon looked at her before he summoned to form a rainbow video showing a young boy that looked like a young Poseidon, "I would like to ask him a favour so that he can teach my son how to use his powers," Poseidon said as Artemis nodded.
"I think he will," She said as they both glowed, "Follow me," She said as they both were teleported away.
Shinki Sekai
Artemis and Poseidon appeared, and what they found shocked the sea god and made the moon goddess laugh.
It was Naruto with one hand, the fingers cursed, imitating claws while he was going strikes at the air.
And he was not the only one doing this as hundreds of Kage Bunshin were doing them with Amaterasu sitting on a blanket drinking tea.
Both deities walked over to the sun goddess as they looked at Naruto, "What is he doing," Poseidon asked as each Naruto moved in sequence with a dragon in the front.
The dragon was humanoid without wings with eight horns coming out of his head, four per side, and with a long flowing orange mane of hair, white scales covering its body, and red face paint across its snout and on either side of its face.
They wore what looked like armoured pants and a flowing cape with leather wraps around their knuckles.
"That is Ikarikenryū, and he is showing that batch of clones some of his fighting styles, like some of the other dragons are doing," Amaterasu said as Artemis and Poseidon has a good looked around and saw that there were hundreds of Naruto clones and approximately twenty other humanoid dragons teaching, "Naruto said he wanted a Taijutsu that was a child and that he could pass on to his children one day," Amaterasu said as Artemis looked shocked.
"So he's going to merge all the fighting styles so the Uzumaki," She said as a smile slowly formed.
"And grow and be strong once more," Artemis said as Poseidon looked at his niece. He had not seen her smile like that in a long time, "What is he learning so far," She asked her mother-in-law.
"Hell, he's learning Boxing from Kenryū over there," Amaterasu said as she pointed to an orange-scaled dragon wearing boxing shorts and gloves and punching the air, "Ikarikenryū is teaching Muay Thai and how to attack pressure points from Togekugiryū," She added as she then pointed to a spiked red dragon dressed in amour with drill-like claws on the end of his fingers.
Artemis looked to the left to see clones kicking, "What about that batch of clones," She asked as Amaterasu looked over.
"There learning the startings of Jao Kun Do from Kyūshintekiashiryū," Amaterasu said as shouting was heard as they looked over to see two humanoid dragons with a group of clones, "Over there, Kōunoryū and Yakedokonjōryū were teaching Naruto how to tap into the Kyūbi," She told them as Poseidon saw the clones gained a slight red glow around them before seeing the only non-humanoid dragon in the area with clones.
It was a black dragon whose upper body stood vertically while the lower body ran parallel to the ground with a plated light silver underbelly and had fins instead of legs and dark grey eyes.
It was wearing a mask, red finpads with small white spikes, two on the front fins and one on the back fins, along with a red rope tied around its lower half with a red harness held together with a silver cross, its mask is black with a silver lining, and it juts out past the back of its head to form a crest with the two black spikes jutting out of the sides of its head.
Two sharp-bladed shurikens stick out of the back of its neck and back; these shurikens have three blades each, and their tail ends in a sharp diamond point.
"Who is that," He asked as he indicated to the black dragon.
Amaterasu looked over, "That is Shinoburyū, and she is teaching then the Silent Killing, while over there is the original Naruto with Bahamut and Tiamat, the two sages of the dragon clan, who is teaching Naruto Haki and then finally, that group of clones over there is being taught the Rokushiki by Fuuma," Amaterasu told them as they nodded.
Speaking of real Naruto, he was sitting cross-legged in front of the two dragons that tested him before the platinum dragon looked up and saw that Artemis had returned, "Naruto summon a nother clone so that I can take over while you train with your mother," He told Naruto who nodded and called forth another clone before walking over to his mother and saw that new person next to her.
"Naruto, I would like you to meet my favourite uncle Poseidon who I asked if he could have some suitable swimwear for you; as the god of the sea, he has access to materials that would be good for a ninja to use when he needs it," Artemis said as Naruto nodded who then looked at Poseidon.
"Hello, Poseidon-sama," Naruto said to the sea god, who waved him off.
"Please call me Poseidon when not in a formal setting," He told Naruto, who nodded, "Now I need to ask you something," Poseidon said to Naruto, who nodded.
"I have a son who will need help using his powers, and with how my brother is, I will be unable to help him like Artemis is helping you," He told Naruto, who nodded, "So I wanted to ask the favour if you could train my son until he can use his powers," He asked Naruto who nodded.
"I would be happy, Poseidon," Naruto said as he turned to his mother but stopped and turned back to the sea god, "What is his name," Naruto asked the god, who chuckled.
"His name is Perseus Jackson," Poseidon said as they both turned to Artemis.
"Now then, as I said earlier, I am going to train you in the Suimen Hokō no Gyō, so if you would, Uncle Poseidon," Artemis said as she nodded to the sea god.
He raised his hand as a cyclone of water formed around Naruto, and before his clothes were washed off him, and then when the cyclone died down, it showed Naruto in orange swimming trunks and bright red.
"W-who was the woman in the war-water just then," Naruto asked the god, who looked confused for a second before sighing.
"I'm sorry about that, my boy, as when your mother came to me for them, I had to tell the Naiads about you and what was needed, and when they found out that your Artemis' son, they went into a frenzy making swimwear for you, and well I used that cyclone of water to just change your cloths, but it seemed that some wanted to help you," He told his grandnephew.
Naruto nodded before looking at his mother, who shook her head, "Anyway, do you remember what I told you earlier," Artemis asked Naruto, who nodded, "Then you do that while I go and shout at my former teammate and students for not helping you and get the scrolls that I left with Sarutobi," Artemis said before she teleported out as Naruto started to slowly walk onto the water with Amaterasu and Poseidon watching him.
"The stram is too thin," Amaterasu said to her grandson, who nodded before turning to Poseidon, "Would you like some tea," She asked him.
"Yes, please," He told her.
Konohagakure, Inuzuka Clan Compound
Artemis appeared in the middle of the compound, and all the ninken started to shake as they felt the anger she was sending out that her son was not helped by her former teammate and student.
To say she was angry at them was an understatement.
She was living as she walked as the ninken bowed to her as she passed them, and the Inuzuka looked shocked and frightened at the woman that was heading for the house of the head of their clan.
And they knew that they could do nothing about it with how the ninken were and how they reacted to her.
"Mom, what's happening," She heard the voice of her former student Hana Inuzuka as she got closer.
"I don't know," The voice of Arttemis' former teammate Tsume Inuzuka said as Artemis walked closer until she saw them.
That was when Artemis saw them and growled, "Tsune, Hana, how nice it is to see you."
Both women turned and froze at who was in front of them.
Tsume has an animalistic look and has long, spiky, untamed brown hair, vertical slit-like pupils, elongated canine teeth and nails; she also has the clan fang markings on her cheeks as well as markings over her eyes and a dark shade of purple lipstick.
She wore the standard outfit of a Konoha shinobi consisting of a flak jacket and a black suit underneath with the sleeves rolled up and bandages around her legs.
Then there was Hana, who had long brown hair, which she wore in a ponytail with two locks of hair framing her face over her large, black eyes.
She also wears a light shade of lipstick and has the traditional fang-like tattoos of the Inuzuka clan on both cheeks and a tattoo on her upper right arm resembling a flower.
She wore a brace on her left wrist, bracelets on her right hand, and bandages and usually was dressed in the beige Konoha medic uniform.
Around them was four ninken who walked out bowed down to Artemis, three of them the same grey fur with white undersides and short pointed ears that mostly resemble Huskies.
The other is an adult canine with a wolfish appearance, black fur, and a white underside that most closely resembles a Northern Rocky Mountain Wolf.
This ninken is missing his left ear and wears an eyepatch over his right eye.
"Kuchi-," Tsume started, but when Artemis looked at her, her words were a court in her thought.
"Yes, Inuzuka," Artemis said, her tone as cold as ice.
"Sensei, how are you here? You died," Hana said more, showing that she was braver than her mother, but froze all the same when the goddess's eyes moved to her.
And before both women knew it all, the ninken that was a part of the Inuzuka clan had joined them and stood behind Artemis, and the hounds that belonged to both Hana and Tsume stood by Artemis' side.
"To think that I saw you as a friend," The moon goddess said as the ninken started to growl at both Hana and Tsume.
The entirety of the clan was shocked, "Is she using a Jutsu on them or something," An Inuzuka clan member asked, but Tsume's partner cut in.
"You fool, this is Artemis, goddess of the hunt, and all hounds obey her," He growled out as they looked shocked, "May I ask why you are here, my lady," He asked Artemis, who looked down at the one-eyed hound.
"I have come seeking answers from my supposed friend and student and why they did nothing to help my son," She said as the other hounds started to bear their fangs at the two Inuzuka women.
"Now Kushina, let's talk about this," Tsume tried to say, but a chin shot out and wrapped around her neck.
"Beatings, burns, broken libs, shattered bones, electrocuted, buried under a stone, starved, hunted," Artemis said. Each word dropped the temperature as each ninken moved forward slowly as they were ready to tear both women lib from lib, "And that is only the shortlist, so my friend, why did you do fuck all," She asked Tsume as she spat the word friend at her.
"Please, I," Tsume tried to say, but she knew that nothing she said would appease the goddess.
The ninken moved closer as Artemis raised her chains up, lifting Tsume off the ground as she choked her, "I should make it so that your clan would never hunt again, have your ninken turn on you," Artemis said as her eyes showed the power that frightened both Kunoichi, "Turn your clan into pig for me and my son to hunt until we grow bored of you then feed you to your ninken," She added as the cold look in her eyes became fridge.
Hana said nothing as she felt like an academy student once more, and it also felt like the Shinigami was creeping into her, and Tsume was no better.
"So give me one good fucking reason why I shouldn't," She asked as she looked Tsume in the eye.
"Konoha," Tsume tried, but she felt a hound bite at her.
"Can always add a new clan of new hunters that my son is going to bring," Artemis said as Tsume.
"I can teach," Tsume tried again but was cut off again.
"You should have done that when he joined the academy as you promised me," Artemis said as her chain tightened around Tsume's neck as tears started to flow from her eyes, "Nothing then; I best be rid of-" Artemis was saying before Hana fell to her knees.
"I'LL MARRY YOUR SON AND BECOME NOTHING MORE THAN HIS PROPERTY AND WILL JUST BE USED FOR BREEDING," She cried as Artemis looked over to her.
Tsume looked at her daughter in shock, "Is she thinking straight," She asked herself.
Artemis narrowed her eyes at her the woman, "What would my son and I gain out of this it seems your mother would make it so that you would never follow that pledge," Artemis said as Tsume's eyes widened as she looked at Artemis, "I am a goddess did you really think that I could not read your mind," Artemis asked Tsume who shocked before the moon goddess turned to Hana.
"Sware on the River Styx that you will do as you said, and if you fail to marry my son or do as you have said, then your soul shall be drowned in the Stix for all eternity," Artemis said as Tsume looked shocked as she looked at her daughter.
"Hana, I'll do it as I can take the pain of child-" Tsume tried to say, but the chain around her neck tightened once more to shut the woman up.
Hana looked at her mother before looking at her former sensei and saw only hate directed at her, and she knew that she deserved it.
"I, Hana Inuzuka, swear on the River Styx that I shall marry Naruto Uzumaki if he wishes and, if not, to just be used for breeding and birthing new Uzumaki clan members," Hana said to Artemis before all of Konoha felt the earth beneath there feet shake slightly.
"Styx has accepted your oath; if you brake it well, I will wish you luck," Artemis said as she dropped Tsume on the ground as looked down at the woman, "You failed your mother and father, and they would have killed you for what you have done," Artemis said as she turned and started to walk away.
But stopped when Tsume started to speak, "I, Tsume Inuzuka, swear on the River Styx that I shall aid Naruto Uzumaki if he wishes and, if not, to just be used for breeding and birthing new Uzumaki clan members," She said as Artemis turned to Tsume who just faced the ground as the ground shook once more, "I will make it up you and work to help were I should have," Tsume said as she raised her head up to look Artemis in the eyes.
"We shall see," Artemis said as she turned to the black-furred ninken, "I'm putting you in charge, and if she fails, you but be the one to kill her," Artemis said as the ninken nodded as she walked off.
The ninken looked at Tsume and Hana before they all walked off and to their partners as Hana and Tsume left there alone with their ninken.
They stayed quiet for a while before Hana looked at her mother, "What's going to happen now," She asked.
"Me, Kushina, Mebuki and Mikoto promised each other that we would look out for each other's kid if anything happened to us, and I know that Mikoto was the only one that had followed thou," Tsume said as she looked at her hand, not recognising them, "I saw him as the Kyūbi, told Kiba to make fun of him and aided in the hunting of him," She muttered as her ninken scoffed at her.
"Here is what you two are going to do, and that is finding a way to fix the mess that you have made, or I will follow m'laday's orders," He said as he walked away with Hana's ninken following him.
Hana thought back to everything that she had done to Naruto, and she realised that she was no better than her mother and so Hana stood up as her ninken stopped and turned to her, but she said nothing to them as she walked into her home, leaving her mother alone outside.
Tsume, still looking at her hands, thought back to her Genin days, her teammates, and Hana getting taught by Kushina - no Artemis, her brain corrected before tears started to fall from her eyes again.
"What have I done," She asked quietly as the tears dripped.
She was a student of Tsunade, a quarter Uzumaki and a teammate to one, so she should have known seals.
But the fear got to her.
"Not anymore," Tsume thought as she picked herself off the ground, "I'll fix this," She said before she walked into her home after her daughter.
