Chapter 8

( Uzu)

"Friends of my father?" Naruto repeated looking at both toads with Aphrodite beside him looking at the talking toads.

"Yes our dear boy. We would like to apologize for not knowing you was alive this entire time. We were deceived by someone we once trusted. We found out a day ago that you was alive and we sought you out to join you and to sign our contract." Pa explained as had faced Aphrodite

"And You are?" asked Pa looking at the goddess

"I am Aphrodite goddess of love, beauty, and procreation. Who are you two?" Aphrodite answered with the two looking at her.

"Goddess? Goddess of love and beauty? Are you sure you're not impersonating Benzaiten? Who is the Shinto Goddess of love and beauty?" Ma spoke

"No. I am from the pantheon of Greece. I am a goddess of love from that realm I came here to live in the Japanese pantheon and realm. A disturbance called out to me and it concerns young Naruto here who is my champion." Aphrodite says now explaining to the two toads.. About her stay here.

"Oh... I see. That explains a lot. No wonder Jiraiya seeks us out for help that day... Well, Aphrodite-sama my name is Pa, and this is my wife Ma. We are toad summons. Friends of Minato Namikaze. As we said. We've only just learned that Naruto-boy here is alive, our former summoner jiraiya lied to us about Naruto-boy." Pa says holding his cane.

"Jiraiya? If I can remember correctly isn't he one of those sannins and sarutobi's student?" Naruto asks with both toads nodding.

"Yes. We deeply apologize for what has happened. If we had known you was alive we would have raised you and cared for you as if you was our own tadpole. But because of Jiraiya's greed and jealousy thinking about himself and his own needs and desires. Robbed us of that... he was your father's sensei. Your father entrusted him to be your godfather... but it seems Jiraiya didn't want nothing to do with that." Pa spoke

"So that man was my godfather? Well he's dead to me. And he will be once I see him." Naruto says looking slightly angry.

"We want to help you. We want to make up for what has happened. Will you please sign our contract." Pa pleaded looking up at the boy.

"Sure. Why not. After all you are friends of my father." Naruto says with a smile as the toads smiled that Naruto is giving them a chance

"You won't regret this Naruto-boy. We will help you in anyway we can." says Pa with a smile.

"I'm sure you will. I want to free my other jinchuriki brothers and sisters... I want to liberate them." Naruto says

"We can help with that. We'll send some toads out to their locations for them to report to us." Ma would say.

"Then let's get to work." Naruto would say with Aphrodite still beside him.

( Konoha at the moment)

Kakashi was nervous very nervous as was looking at the stern face of his sensei's teacher Jiraiya the Toad Sage of the Sannin he had called him to the Hokage's office to ask him a few questions to ask him and Kakashi had a feeling that Jiraiya wasn't going to be happy with him

"Thanks for coming on time Kakashi." Jiraiya says who is temporary Hokage for now. Since he is the current "Strongest" here in the village and that no one doesn't know he's actually weak right now with the loss of his sage mode and his support of the toads and their summonings lost to him. And no doubt joining Naruto.

"Yes the ANBU you send told me you wanted to ask me a few questions and that I should be there as soon as possible." He says and then thought in his head

"Along with the threat that if I didn't show up within 5 minutes that I would be demoted back to Genin and have my Sharingan eye removed."

Jiraiya had told the ANBU who he send out to tell Kakashi to come to the Hokage's office with a time limit and a threat of him being demoted back to Genin and have the Sharingan eye removed if he showed up late and the Sannin didn't have time for both his tardiness and lame excuses.

"Yes. I wanted to ask you a few questions about our now rouge Jinchuriki Naruto Uzumaki as I believe that he was part of your Genin team." Jiraiya asked

Kakashi know where Jiraiya was going with this and he also know it would be best to answer all of his questions very honestly as he knew that Jiraiya could kick his sorry ass multiple ways to next Sunday.

"what do you want to know?" Kakashi asked

"Do you know who trained Naruto for the 3rd and final part of the Chunin Exams according to this report form my sensei you brushed him off just to only train Sasuke Uchiha for the final part of the Chunin Exams and not both your 2 students at the same time who made it to the final part." Jiraiya asked really wanting to know how did Naruto get strong.

Kakashi was sweating as he didn't know the answer to that as he left with Sasuke as soon as he could after refusing to help train Naruto.

"No I don't know who trained Naruto for the last month I thought that Lord 3rd would arranged a substitute teacher for him in my place." Kakashi answered

"Let me see if I get this straight Kakashi? you left Naruto alone unsupervised without finding him a substitute teacher in your place first to keep a eye on him and train him in last the month before 3rd and the final part of the Chunin Exams would begin before you left with the Uchiha?." Jiraiya looks at him in disbelief and asks with anger as Kakashi gulps at the tone

"Look you have to understand Lord Jiriaya that Sasuke was going to face Gaara of the Sand who is a very dangerous and unstable Jinchuriki and I didn't wanted to waste time to help train a talentless nobody even if he is my late sensei's bastard son when I was going to make sure that Sasuke would have a better chance at survival against Gaara and while I knew that Naruto was going to face Neji Hyuga in the first fight I was sure that the 9 Tails would make sure that he wouldn't killed that easy and I didn't expect him to win." Kakashi answered honestly. He never thought Naruto would win.

"Kakashi you were Naruto's sensei it was your job to find him a substitute teacher in your place first to train him and to keep a eye on him and to not run off with the Uchiha without doing that, that was your task not my sensei's and not only that but you left your 3rd student Sakura alone for the whole month without anything for her to do for the past month." Jiraya says with light anger.

Kakashi sighs he knew that what he did was not one of his best decisions to make to leave Sakura alone for the whole month without anything to do and that he should have find Naruto a substitute teacher first to train him and to keep a eye on him and to not run off with Sasuke to train him without doing that but he didn't wanted to waste his time looking for a substitute teacher for Naruto as wanted to focus on making sure Sasuke survives his fight with Gaara.

"I know I should have but Sasuke had a bigger chance at being killed by Gaara's hands than Naruto did with Neji and Sasuke was no Jinchuriki but besides what does it matter Naruto wasn't going to promote to Chunin and I wasn't going to waste my time on a talentless idiot like him I was sure that after he had cooled down a little that Lord 3rd would have found him a substitute." Kakashi voiced out until Jiraiya slammed his hands on the desk that made Kakashi jump and with a glare that almost made Kakashi's heart stop.

"You don't get it do you Kakashi? You. Just. Don't. Get. It. it does matter because of you not only refuse to train Naruto or to find him a substitute to train him in your place and keep a eye on him you made it so that anyone and I mean ANYONE who was not from our village would come along and take him under their wing and train him I and my sensei made sure that the brat's education and growth was sabotaged and stunted in the Academy so he was easier to control, manipulate and subdue if he gets out of control or ever gets rebellious hell my sensei put in secret laws to make sure that he could never become Hokage in the first place sensei wanted to have him an impossible dream as his drive to not slack off while his Jonin Sensei would teach very little further hinder his growth." Jiraiya says with anger in his tone looking pissed at Kakashi, as Kakashi now widened his eyes

"So because I didn't bother to find Naruto a substitute teacher after I refused to train him I left him wide open for anyone who was not from our village who really wanted to train him." Kakashi muttered with jiraiya nodding.

"And now you finally get it Kakashi and thanks to you all the plans that I and my Sensei had for Naruto went down the drain and it is also thanks to you that the Toads have kicked me off their summoning Contract and are now going to find Naruto themselves to give him the contract this is all your fault for making such bad decisions." The Toad Sage growledKakashi looks down in shame he knew that the 3rd Hokage had plans for Naruto and that he was so focused on Sasuke that he didn't think about the consequences of what could happen if he left the boy alone unsupervised for too long.

"I am sorry Lord Jiraiya." Kakashi apologized

"I will give you your punishment later Kakashi but for now I am going out and find Tsunade to have her come back to become the 5th Hokage and you better pray that nothing goes wrong or you will wish that you had died along with your teammates." Jiraiya threatened to the copy ninja.

"Get the fuck out of my sight." Jiraiya hissed as Kakashi did so not wanting to anger the man.

"That fucking idiot." snarled Jiraiya facepalming at Kakashi's idiocy. He had one job to do and he fucked it up. This was all because of him. Because of his neglect of Naruto things had spiraled out of control. The toads banished him and stripped him of his power.

Without the toads, he won't be able to travel fast or send messages to his contacts. He won't be able to use sage mode. All because he did not want to raise Naruto or not want anything to do with the brat.

But the question is: who trained Naruto?

Where did Naruto get these weapons and equipment from? that some of the jonins had told him to make their best description of the weapons Naruto had? A head that can shine bright as the sun? Hooks with chains that can take someone's soul...

That made him shiver in fear. He had heard that Orochimaru fell victim to those Hooks and had his soul ripped out.

Naruto can run fast? They saw shoes on his feet with wings...

Then a very big sword that they saw him kill his sensei with.

So... Two questions on his mind.

1. Who trained Naruto and took him under their wing?

2. Where did Naruto get these weapons and equipment that one has ever seen before.

If only he had help from the toads to give him an answer but those damn amphibians forsaken him and banished him. And will no doubt help Naruto.

So much to do...

He must find Tsunade... And get her to become 5th Hokage.

( With Sasuke)

The Uchiha boy was seething in anger as he took his frustrations out on a training dummy. Angry that the Dobe is strong somehow and denied him his chance to advance to chunin in the chunin exams.

How is it that the Dobe became strong with weapons? Not only that but the Dobe became a traitor as he killed the Sandaime Hokage and Orochimaru..

"Damn you Naruto!" snarled Sasuke. Wherever that dobe is he will make him pay for humiliating him an Uchiha elite. Taking his spot in the finals and upstage him.

He must demand more training from Kakashi so that he can beat Naruto and kill his brother Itachi.

( Uzu later on)

"So you are off to find this Tsunade woman?" Aphrodite asks her champion sitting on the throne

"Yes. We do need a healer. Since the toads told me all about her. So having her here would be a great idea." Naruto says putting on his Helm of Hades.

"Understandable. Who will you take with you?" She asks.

"Just Gaara and Yugao. They will come with me. The Uzu four will stay here." Naruto says whirling his claws of hades. He's taking the Nemean Cestus and the head of helios. Yes the sound four had been renamed as the Uzu Four.

"Be safe on your journey Naruto I will be waiting for you~" Aphrodite says huskily walking up to him taking off his helm and giving him a lustful kiss. As he in turn kisses her back grabbing her ass.

"I will be back." He says walking away

( Uzu Courtyard)

Naruto, Gaara and Yugao are walking down the courtyard it wasn't until Naruto whistled loud. As a giant Roc Bird flew down and landed infront of the three. The three got on the giant bird and took off screeching as Naruto is now on route to find Tsunade and bring her back as their healer.

( Olympus.)

Artemis and her fellow gods had searched the entirety of Olympus no sign of life.

Everything is gone.

"So what now..?" Asked Demeter.

As they were up on the summit of Olympus seeing Gaia's remains everywhere.

Artemis is looking at a trail of blood. Being the goddess of the moon and being the Huntress she is, she could tell this was Kratos's blood... Which she could assume that the Spartan is still alive.

Her eyes perk up as she saw Aphrodite's footprints.

"So Aphrodite is alive..." She mused catching the other gods attention

"Kratos didn't kill her?" Apollo asked

"That's what it looks like. And she was up here with two handmaidens..." Artemis says

"So where is she?" asked Hestia

"That I am unsure.. Her track and scent was here last." Artemis answered. Frowning... Could it be possible that Aphrodite gone elsewhere? Since the World is ruined.

( Elsewhere)

Up on a mountain inside the Temple of Aphrodite.

Two women are inside the temple by themselves. Wearing red toga's they both look beautiful as they are kneeling in front of the Statue of Aphrodite.

"Mother...please help us... Please we seek your protection." pleaded Zora looking up at the Statue of her mother.

Her Sister Lora is beside her also praying for their mother to help them. They survived the destruction of Sparta when Zeus destroyed it all. And that their God Kratos is also gone too..

They had to pray for their mother.

( Uzu)

Aphrodite sits on the throne. It wasn't until she heard a prayer... A prayer from her Daughters.

"Zora... Lora..." Aphrodite says having heard her daughters prayers for help.
