"MEDICAL TEAM, where are you? We have a critical injury here!" Naruto shouted in panic, Neji's body propped against his, his head laying on his shoulder.

"No... I'm no longer," Neji tried to speak, but his voice quickly faded. In front of him, Hinata fell to her knees, her face set in horror as tears streamed down her face.

"Naruto... Hinata is willing to die for you," Hinata choked back a sob, listening reverently to her cousin's last words.

"So... you hold... more than one life... in your hands," Neji's eyes dimmed further, his voice getting fainter.

"And it seems... that my life too... may have been one of them." Naruto blinked away tears, a question on his lips.

"Why, Neji? Why would you go so far for me? Even give up your life?" Neji smiled, a smile filled with blood, a small laugh rumbling in his chest.

"Because... you called me a genius." The seal faded, Neji felt relief; he was free.

"Tou-sama... I finally understand... the freedom you felt... choosing to die to protect your loved ones." His head slipped from Naruto's shoulder, his eyes closed forever.

The caged bird flew free once more, and it soared toward the heavens.

"NEJI!" Naruto screamed as he woke up with a cold sweat. He looked around and saw Percy, Sally, and the other campers huddled around him in concern. Tears streaked down his face, and his eyes were red and puffy.

"Naruto, are you okay, man? You've been screaming and tossing around violently. We're here to see if you're alright," Percy said, worried for his friend.

Naruto took a deep breath and smiled, though his smile was fake as it didn't reach his eyes. "Yeah... just a bad dream, that's all."

"Are you sure, dear? It must be a bad one if it's making you scream," Sally said in a motherly tone.

"No, I just... just need to be alone for a bit," he said as they all nodded and filed out, except Sally, who still stood there with a concerned expression on her face.

"Naruto, sometimes it's better to talk about your nightmares rather than bottle them up," Sally said as she sat beside him and rubbed his hands.

So Naruto told her about the war, the death of his comrades. He cried a bit when he told her about Neji's death. She rubbed his back before he fell asleep on her shoulder. She tucked him into his bed, pulled the blanket over him, and gave him a motherly kiss on the forehead before she turned off the light and closed the door.

The next day Percy and Naruto followed their usual routine, training and learning in their different 'classes'.

Ancient Greek

They learned Ancient Greek with Annabeth, although it was only Percy who truly grasped it. Meanwhile, Naruto, thanks to his Rinne-Sharingan, effortlessly acquired proficiency in English, Japanese, French, Greek, and Roman languages. Percy couldn't help but wish he had an incredible ability like Naruto's eyes.

Sword and Shield

The Sword and Shield class, led by Clarisse and Luke, saw Clarisse deciding to spar with Naruto, with Nyssa present to examine if Naruto had any other weapons. The campers who gathered around to watch the spar couldn't help but shiver at the devious smirk Naruto had on his face.

"Alright, where's your sword, blonde?" Clarisse asked as she held her magical spear and shield. The audience watched silently, including a certain raven-haired and blue-eyed teen who observed curiously. Naruto grinned and held out his right hand. A blue flame engulfed Naruto's hand, and then, poofed! In his hand appeared a large broadsword, as tall as a full-grown man, shaped like a butcher knife.

The blade itself had two cutouts, a circle close to the top and a semicircular one nearer to the handle. The former aptly defined the sword's purpose of decapitation. The latter notch allowed a strap to be wrapped around the weapon, making it easier for the user to carry. Its extremely long handle was also detachable to aid transportation and then reattached when required for combat.

Naruto grinned at a gobsmacked Clarisse and pointed the sword at her. "This sword is called Kubikiribōchō, literally meaning Decapitating Carving Knife." Everyone who heard the name shuddered at the menacing name of the sword.

"Its former wielder is Zabuza Momochi, better known as The Demon of the Hidden Mist." More people shuddered in fear at that revelation. "And soon, you're about to see why he was called that."

Naruto put his left hand into a half-ram sign and positioned his hand in front of his chest, while his other hand pulled the broadsword onto his back.

"Kirigakure no Jutsu (Ninja Art Hidden Mist Jutsu)."

A mist sprang forth, utilizing pre-existing water near the lake. The mist covered both of them, and the audience watched with fascination, wondering how he did that. Inside, Clarisse was in a panic, looking left and right frantically, trying to find the blonde.

"How the hell did this happen?" she thought, scared and uncertain of where her opponent could be.

"Behind you," a sing-song voice said behind her.

She turned around, waving her spear along the way to see and hit nothing. "What are you looking for, Clarisse?"

She turned around and thrust her spear at the voice, only for the same thing to happen.

"Behind you."

She turned around again, just in time to get a taste of the broadsword. She raised her shield to block, but the force of the hit was so strong that it sent her out of the mist. Clarisse felt relief that she was out of the mist; at least she could fight with her eyes now.

"Always watch your back, Clarisse."

She turned around, but it was already too late. Naruto punched her in the stomach, making her fall on her ass. Naruto just stood there with the massive broadsword on his shoulder. He chuckled at her shocked face. "You were too focused on finding me; you never noticed I was never in the mist in the first place, Clarisse."

He waved his hand, and the mist dissipated. There, standing in front of them, was another Naruto before it disappeared in a poof, leaving the campers more shocked.

"I sent a clone inside the mist to taunt you, making you think the real me was inside the mist while the real me stood here outside of the mist, waiting to get you focused on finding me instead of watching your surroundings." He offered his hand to her, and she took it shyly as he pulled her up. She walked away with a beet-red face.

She never noticed Nyssa and her best friend glaring at the back of her head in jealousy.

Archery

Naruto was amazing with a bow and arrow, consistently hitting bullseyes even with moving targets. Thanks to his Rinne-Sharingan and the guidance of Apollo and Artemis, he excelled in archery.

On the other hand, Percy consistently shot at dryad trees, causing them to curse in Greek at him, a sight that could even make Clarisse blush. Naruto couldn't help but wonder why the dryads kept asking for his help, their faces blushing, to repair their trees. Using his Mokuton, Naruto created new trees for them, and in gratitude, the dryads gave him a peck on the lips before running to the new trees. He was puzzled as to why satyrs kept giving him jealous glares.

Canoeing

The only skill Percy excelled at was canoeing, not exactly the heroic skill people would expect from someone who faced a minotaur. In contrast, Naruto was an expert at almost everything. His bow and arrow skills rivaled those of the Apollo cabin, showcasing amazing strength and stamina. Surprisingly, he even took first place in canoeing, leaving Percy in second.

Naruto walked toward the Pegasus stable after finishing a bit of training with Percy. He had offered Percy guidance on proper sword handling and effective battle techniques, shared tips about archery skills, and imparted wisdom on remaining calm in the battlefield.

He noticed a brown Pegasus staring intently at him. As he approached, the Pegasus bowed its head slightly, as if begging to be pet. Naruto placed his palm on the horse's head, closed his eyes, and gathered nature through his body. After sealing Kaguya's power and the temporary death of his Biju family, Naruto had to wait a few months before they fully formed again.

"Oh, I didn't know someone would be here at this time," a feminine voice said behind him. He turned to see a teen with raven-black hair and blue eyes, a slim figure, staring at him with interest.

"Well, I don't suppose it's forbidden, is it?" Naruto asked, a slightly confused expression on his face, making her giggle at his expression.

"Well, no. I'm Silena Beauregard, by the way," she said with a giggle, extending her hand.

Naruto took her hand, and she blushed at the warmth he produced. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki, but you already know my name anyway," he said sheepishly. Unbeknownst to both of them, when their hands made contact, it sent a jolt of electricity up their spines.

"So, are you interested in this one, huh? Her name is Alexandra, by the way," she said, pointing at the brown Pegasus.

"Alexandra, huh? Nice name," Naruto said, receiving a whinny in approval from the horse, making both of them chuckle.

"How do you do that, by the way? She didn't want anyone to touch her, let alone ride her," Silena asked, remembering every time other campers, besides her and the Demeter cabin, got thrown off the Pegasus saddle since she was very picky about who would ride her.

Naruto shrugged. "I'm good with animals, I guess." The Five-Tailed beast's chakra still flowed through his chakra coils, making sense since Kokuo was a horse-kind of Biju. Ever since he became the host of the Ten-Tails' power, he noticed that all animals related to Biju were fond of him, especially foxes.

"I kind of envy you. It took me about three months to let me ride her. Two months to gain her trust," she pouted enviously at him, making him blush at her cuteness.

"Anyway, whose cabin are you in?" he asked.

"Aphrodite Cabin," she said, smiling at him.

"You know, I could teach you how to ride a Pegasus," she said, smiling.

"Yeah, I wou-" He was about to accept when a familiar voice interrupted him.

"Hey Naruto, are you in he-" Nyssa yelled as she approached with a smile until her smile dropped as she saw the daughter of Aphrodite and her crush standing there alone. Her eyes narrowed, and her lips set into a thinned line as she marched toward them, the Kusanagi in her hand tightened almost as if trying to break it.

"Hey Nyssa, finished playing with my sword, I see," Naruto amusedly said. Yesterday, he had seen Nyssa and Charles swinging his sword around and testing it against all metals, from normal metal to titanium and celestial bronze. He couldn't help but chuckle internally at that.

"Yeah, are you busy? I thought we could have lunch together before Capture the Flag?" she said, sending a pointed look at Silena and speaking nervously at the end.

"Yeah, okay. I don't have anything-" he replied, but he was interrupted again by a voice he recognized.

"Hey Blondie, I want to have a spa-" Clarisse said. Her voice trailed off as she noticed her crush standing with her best friend and the daughter of Hephaestus. Walking toward them, she gave Silena a look akin to betrayal and sent Nyssa a pointed look that Nyssa kindly gave back. Tension was high in the stables, but Naruto, being Naruto, was oblivious to all this.

"Well, Clarisse, no, since I'm joining Capture the Flag. But we can fight in the game if you're up to the challenge," Naruto told her in a challenging tone as her eyes narrowed at him playfully.

She stepped up to him, their faces almost inches together and their noses almost nuzzled against each other. Clarisse had a pink hue on her cheek but straightened up against him, making Silena and Nyssa narrow their eyes at her bold move.

"Oh, really, blonde? I don't think you could take me on," Clarisse taunted him playfully, making him smirk at her.

"Oh, trust me, dear," he purred and put his palm on her cheek, making her blush and Nyssa with Silena puff their cheeks cutely in jealousy. "When I get in that forest, you will be screaming my name, and then you couldn't even walk straight for a week," he purred out in a challenging tone.

Clarisse blushed tomato red at his words, as did Nyssa and Silena, who looked at Clarisse with envy and betrayal. Unbeknownst to them, what Naruto meant was, "Trust me, Clarisse. When I get in that forest, I will use the forest as my advantage, and you won't know what hit you until it's too late. You won't even be able to walk after the fight I just gave you." Poor Naruto didn't even realize how wrong his words were.

Clarisse, Silena, and Nyssa gained a glazed look, and a bit of drool came out of the corner of their mouths. They were furiously trying to clear their minds of a certain image of what Naruto and Clarisse would do in the forest. Unknown to them, Naruto waved at them and disappeared in a black butterfly. The three of them snapped out of their daydream and glared at each other, determined to fight Naruto in Capture the Flag to win Naruto for themselves.

Soon after they finished their plates, a conch horn was heard, and they all stood on their tables. They cheered as Annabeth and her siblings entered the pavilion, carrying a silk banner about ten feet tall, glistening gray with a painting of a barn owl above an olive tree. On the other side, Clarisse and her siblings ran in with another banner of the same height, garish with a painting of a bloody spear and a head boar.

"I still don't understand why I have to join this silly game," Naruto grumbled. After the Fourth Great Shinobi War, he lost interest in games like this. Sure, his younger self might be eager to join, but now... he already knew how it felt to lose a comrade who gave his life for you.

"Naruto, out of all the campers here, you are the strongest one, so it makes sense that Annabeth wants you on her team," Luke sighed, hearing his grumbling.

"So, Ares and Athena always lead a team?" Percy asked.

"Not always," Luke replied, "but often."

"So if another cabin captures another one, what will we do, repaint the flag?" Percy asked.

Luke grinned at him. "You see, but first, we have to get one."

"Whose side are we on?" Naruto asked gruffly.

Luke gave them a sly look, combined with the scar on his face that made him look evil in the torchlight. "We're making a temporary alliance with Athena. For tonight, we get the flag from Ares, and you two are going to help."

The teams were announced. Athena made an alliance with Apollo and Hermes, the biggest cabin. Privileges had been traded—shower times, chore schedules, the best spot in activities—in order to win support. Ares made an alliance with Aphrodite, Demeter, Dionysus, and Hephaestus

.

Chiron pounded his hoof on the marble. "Heroes," he announced, "you know the rules. The creek is the boundary line, the entire forest is fair game, all magic items are allowed, the banner must be prominently displayed with no more than two guards, prisoners may be disarmed but not bound or gagged, no killing or maiming is allowed. I will serve as the referee and battlefield medic. Arm yourselves." He then spread his hands, and the table suddenly filled with equipment—bronze swords and spears, helmets, oxhead shields coated with metal.

"Woah," Percy said, surprised. "We're really supposed to use this?"

Luke stared at Percy as if he had gone crazy. "Unless you want to get skewered by your friends in Cabin Five. Here, Chiron thought these would fit."

Naruto chuckled at the sight of Luke fitting Percy in Greek armor. He bit his thumbs and smeared them on his right palm, creating a table using his Mokuton. He slammed his palm on the table, making everyone jump and look at him in surprise.

Suddenly, with a puff of smoke, five kinds of armor appeared on the table. The first one was traditional Japanese armor with the color of maroon, three metal plates on each shoulder, and four plates on his front, left and right legs—the traditional Uchiha armor, the legendary Madara Uchiha armor. The second one also had three metal plates on the shoulder but had white fur at the collar. It only had a long metal plate on the front of the lower body. Unlike the first one, this one was blue instead of maroon—Tobirama Senju's armor, the second Hokage. The third one, instead of metal, was a gray sleeveless vest with straps on the back for a tanto, an arm protection armor with a fox mask on top of it. The fourth one was a simple green zip-up flak jacket with a pocket on the chest—standard Konoha Jonin or Chunin vest. The fifth one was a normal gray and black flak jacket, but unlike the fourth one, this one didn't have a zipper (Kakashi's the last flak jacket). Naruto picked the fifth one and slipped it on. Naruto then looked at gobsmacked Luke and Percy. "You know you could take one if you want, Percy?" he offered.

Percy got out of his shock and picked the Anbu armor.

"Nice choice, Percy. It gives you protection, but unlike the metal ones, it will not slow you down," Naruto stated while Percy looked at him oddly.

"If it's heavy, then why do you wear one?" he asked.

Naruto just waved nonchalantly. "You get used to it eventually, and the heavy armor is only for heavy combat. You're more of a sneaky kind of fighter than a heavy one. Besides, wearing that metal armor will mold your body to shape." Percy nodded at his friend's words before he slipped into it as well. It was kind of comfortable for him.

Naruto wore a blue headband without a metal plate, as blue was on Athena's side. Annabeth yelled, "Blue team forward!"

The group cheered and shook their swords, following Annabeth down to the south woods, while the red team yelled taunts at them as they headed toward the north.

Percy marched toward Annabeth, thanks to the armor Naruto gave him. He could run toward her without slowing down, as his armor was kind of light. "Hey," though Annabeth just kept marching. "So what's the plan? Got any magic items you can loan me?" Annabeth's hand hovered over her pocket when Percy asked that.

"Just watch Clarisse's spear," she said. "You don't want that thing touching you. Otherwise, don't worry. We take the banner from Ares. Has Luke given you your job?"

"Border control, same as Naruto. Whatever that means."

"It's easy. Stand by the creeks, keep the reds away, leave the rest to me. Athena always has a plan," she left him in the dust as he stayed in the back, watching her march with her team.

"Okay," Percy mumbled. "Glad you wanted me on your team."

Days had turned to night, and Naruto and Percy had stationed themselves by the next creek that gurgled over some rocks. Annabeth and her team had scattered into the forest. Percy stood there, groaning, while Naruto sat on a rock with closed eyes and crossed legs.

"This is so boring," Percy mumbled, stifling a yawn. He glanced at his blonde friend, who had been silent for a long time. Percy felt a slight worry about what might be happening with Naruto.

Unbeknownst to Percy, Naruto had sent a clone to relieve his boredom. Using his Rinne-Sharingan, Naruto could see what the clone saw—a kind of remote control, except this time controlling himself and with a much better range than an actual remote control.

The Naruto clone hopped from tree to tree until it spotted the Hephaestus and Demeter kids. Naruto flashed through hand signs, "Doton: Doryū Taiga (Earth Style Great Mud River)."

Beneath the ground, the land transformed into mud, flowing towards the Hephaestus and Demeter kids. They paled when they saw the mud river. Hephaestus kids began to construct a mechanical wall, with Demeter kids assisting with woods. They sighed in relief as the river passed the two sides of the wall.

To their horror, the wall started to crack. Back with Naruto, he performed another jutsu, "Doton: Doryūdan (Earth Style Earth Dragon Bombs)."

At the mud river, a form took the shape of a dragon. The dragon opened its mouth and began shooting mud bullets.

The Demeter and Hephaestus kids screamed in horror as they received merciless mud bullets that pushed them to their limits. The clone stared at his handiwork before disappearing in a poof of smoke, and the dragon started to crumble.

The real Naruto opened his eyes and saw Clarisse and her friend standing right in front of them.

"Percy, you handle the other two. Clarisse is mine," he declared. Percy looked at him, horrified that he had to handle two opponents instead of one, while Clarisse blushed tomato red at his possessive words, though she knew he didn't mean it that way.

"Same here, leave the blonde for me," she said without breaking eye contact with Percy.

"Are you sure, Naruto? Aren't you supposed to be fighting two people instead of one?" Percy pleaded with his friend.

"What? You scared, prissy?" Clarisse sneered hatefully at Percy, though he ignored her.

Naruto raised a brow. "So, you would deal with her electric spear then?" He pointed at her spear, which was releasing lightning. That shut Percy's mouth.

Naruto got up, brushed his pants, and dashed toward Clarisse, who raised her spear in response. She swung her spear at him, but Naruto caught it with his hand, making her eyes widen in shock. Lightning danced on his arm.

"Sorry, but lightning won't work on me," he said as he punched Clarisse in the gut, making her spit saliva and fly across from him.

On Percy's side, he lamented, "Oops, I guess no dessert for me then." One of Clarisse's siblings had managed to land a cut on his arm.

Clarisse rushed toward the blonde, but Naruto made his favorite hand sign.

"Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" A dozen clones appeared in a puff of smoke, surrounding Naruto. They all rushed toward Clarisse, forcing her to fight the blonde clone. When she destroyed the last one, she looked around and saw no sign of the blonde, until she felt someone kick her shin, making her stumble forward. A strong hand held her left hand to her back, and a sharp knife was pointed at her throat.

"Again, you need to keep moving and beware of your surroundings, Clarisse-chan," he whispered in her ear, making her blush and shiver as she pushed her back toward his strong chest, feeling his abs.

He looked at Percy and saw two sons of Ares on the ground, unconscious but still alive.

Then they heard yelling, elated screams, and saw Luke pass the boundary line with an Ares banner held high. He was flanked by Hermes' guys, covering his retreat, and a few Apollo campers behind them, fighting off Hephaestus' kids

.

Clarisse, at this point, didn't even care about the game anymore. She just wanted to be in his strong arms and feel his abs all day. Naruto released her, earning a whimper of disappointment from her.

They staggered after Luke, but it was too late. Everybody converged on the creek as Luke entered friendly territory. The blue team exploded into cheers. The banner shimmered and turned into silver, the symbol of a boar and spear turning into a huge caduceus, the symbol of Cabin Eleven. Everyone on the blue team started to pick up Luke and carry him around on their shoulders. Chiron cantered out of the woods and blew the conch horn.

The blue team had won.

The boys were about to join them in celebration when Annabeth's voice said beside them, "Not bad, heroes."

Percy looked around but didn't see her, but Naruto did, thanks to his eyes. He walked toward where Annabeth was standing and poked her stomach, causing the girl to yelp in surprise and pull her Yankees cap off, making her visible to everyone.

Percy had a shocked look on his face as he pointed at the blushing Annabeth. "You set us up. You put us here because you knew Clarisse would come after me while you sent Luke around the flank. You had figured all this out."

Annabeth shrugged. "I told you, Athena always has a plan. A plan to get me pulverized?"

"I came as fast as I could. I was about to jump in, but you and Naruto dealt with it rather easily," she shrugged nonchalantly.

"How do you do that?" Annabeth said, pointing at his arm.

"Sword cut," Percy replied, still upset that she used him as bait. "What do you think?"

"No, it was a sword cut," Annabeth said. "Look at it."

Naruto looked at Percy's arm in fascination as it healed at a fast pace.

"I-I don't get it," Percy said, shocked, looking at his arm as if it came from outer space.

"Step out of the water, Percy."

"What—"

"Just do it," came an annoyed reply.

With a sigh, he walked out of the water, and almost instantly, the rush he felt when he fought Ares' kids disappeared. He was about to fall, but Naruto quickly caught him.

"Oh, Styx," Annabeth cursed. "This is not good... I would assume it would be Zeus."

Naruto almost snorted in laughter at that last one, though he wouldn't be surprised if his father made another demigod.

He heard a growl before a howl echoed through the forest. He heard Chiron shout in ancient Greek, "Stand ready! My bow!"

Annabeth drew her sword. Naruto created a clone and told it to protect Percy. He activated his eyes and saw an undead energy around a monster. He narrowed his eyes as he prepared the hand signs.

Above them on the rock, a hellhound the size of a rhino with lava-red eyes and fangs like daggers stared straight at Percy. Annabeth told him to run, but he froze in fear at the sight of the hellhound.

"Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu (Water Style Water Dragon Jutsu)!" Naruto exclaimed.

The water from where Percy was standing rose up and took the shape of a Chinese dragon. The dragon gave a loud roar before slamming into the hellhound, pushing the dog across the forest, much farther from them. Annabeth, Percy, Chiron, and the other campers watched the whole scene with gobsmacked expressions.

The hellhound roared as it stood up on four legs, glaring at the blonde. Naruto glared back before flashing through hand seals again.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Jutsu)!"

There, in front of the hellhound, in a puff of smoke appeared...

"CERBERUS?!" many of the campers and satyrs thought in shock as they saw a large three-headed dog.

Well, not exactly Cerberus. The dog was large, maybe larger than Cerberus, with a large rod on its nose, and a strange rippled, tomoe red flame eyes staring down at him. It had wings on its body.

The hellhound just stared dumbly at the large three-headed dog, as did the campers. The dog was currently wondering what in the name of Underworld his father was doing in this place. Shouldn't he be in the Underworld? And when did his father use mortal makeup all of a sudden? With piercings and contact lenses and all that.

The three-headed dog raised its large paw and smashed the puny hellhound. The hellhound stood no chance.

"That was AWESOME!" one of the younger Ares cabin members said.

The campers started to gather around Naruto, bombarding him with questions.

"How did you summon Cerberus, Naruto?"

"That water dragon is awesome!"

"You're so hot, wanna have a fling?"

Naruto sweatdropped at the last one. Chiron trotted next to Naruto and Percy with a grim face.

"Di immortales," Annabeth said. "Those are hellhounds from the Fields of Punishment. They don't... they're not supposed to."

"Someone summoned it," Chiron said, his expression grave. "Someone inside the camp."

Luke came over, the banner in his hand gone, his moment of glory faded. Clarisse yelled, "It was Percy! Percy summoned it!"

"Be quiet, child," Chiron told her. They were silent as they watched the squashed body of a hellhound melt into shadow, soaking into the ground until it disappeared.

"You're wounded," Annabeth told Percy. "Quick, get into the water."

"I'm okay."

"No, you're not," Annabeth insisted. "Chiron, watch this." To avoid arguing, Percy stepped back into the water, and instantly, he didn't even feel red anymore; he felt better. The campers and Chiron noticed this.

"I don't know why, but I..." Percy started, attempting to apologize. But they all looked above his head, and Naruto was smiling warmly at him.

"Percy," Annabeth pointed up. "Um?"

Percy looked up, but the sign was already fading. He could still make out the hologram, spinning and gleaming—a trident.

"Your father," Annabeth murmured. "This is not good."

"It is determined," Chiron said. All around Percy, including Chiron, started kneeling, though the Ares cabin didn't seem happy about it.

"My father?" Percy asked, bewildered.

"Poseidon," said Chiron. "Earthshaker, Stormbringer, Father of Horses. All hail Perseus Jackson, son of the Sea God."

Percy looked at Naruto for help but gasped when he saw five symbols, along with the other campers.

The first one was a symbol of a lightning bolt, the second a peacock feather, the third a symbol of the hearth, the fourth an eight-sided mirror behind the symbol of a torii gate, and the fifth comprised eight arrows in a radial pattern.

"It is determined," Chiron announced after getting out of his shock. "All hail Naruto Uzumaki, son of Zeus, god of the sky, air, weather, lightning, honor, and justice and the king of the gods. Son of Hera, goddess of marriage, motherhood, women, family love, and queen of Olympus. Nephew of Hestia, virgin goddess of hearth, home, and the right ordering of domesticity and family. Great grandson of Chaos, god of the universe, and great grandson of Amaterasu, leader of the Shinto pantheon, goddess of the rising sun and the universe."
