The Primordial Instinct
AN: Merry Christmas, Happy New Years as well as Happy Valentines day peeps I'm still alive hahaha…
Anyways, here is a new chapter I hope you enjoy since I'm making these with the little free time I have. I know all of you think I've abandoned these but no I'm just really busy with work and life.
But anyways here is chapter three…
AN: I OWN SHIT!
-Camp two months later-
In the two months since his arrival Naruto had been training non-stop trying to get back his strength. So far he was able to kick his clones from 3 to 8 without accessing Chaos' blessing with her blessing he was able to make about 15 but it was very taxing on him.
Since the day he failed to save Thalia he was able to get to know both Luke and Annabeth. He found it funny when the little girl blushed and stuttered around both him and Luke since it reminded him of Hinata.
He also took it upon himself to train everyone in camp including Aphrodite's cabin, something that the girls hated but one well placed KI stare later made them agree it also made them faun all over him.
Right now we find Naruto meditating with the Dryads and Nymphs around him watching and drooling over his ability to be one with nature. When the Satyrs found out that he could not only sense nature but harness it to a certain they almost fainted.
"Hey Naruto do you have a moment?" the voice of Chiron broke the silence and surprisingly the Dryads and Nymphs glared at Chiron for interrupting him.
"What can i do for you Chiron?" Naruto asked while standing up and dusting himself off while letting the nature energy he had gathered slowly go.
"I'm here to let you know that your mothers cabin has been cleaned and aired out as well as renovated for a… 'ahem' sage's needs." Naruto raised an eyebrow when he said the last part.
"Was that all Chiron or do you need something else from me?"
"Yes you see the satyrs have told me about another demi-god child close by in New York city and i was wondering if you would help us retrieve him." Chiron asked while walking with him.
"In the shape I'm currently in I'd do more damage than good but if you can wait at least one or two years to bring him in I'd be in better shape to help." Naruto suggested while stretching his arms.
"Yes I believe we can, the child is around seven so we might be able to keep him hidden for another five years before his presence becomes too noticeable." Chiron told him while nodding his head.
"Great, then I'll be heading out and exploring this world after all I need to know my battleground." Naruto exclaimed while walking faster and leaving Chiron surprised.
"W-wait Naruto no one is allowed to leave camp if they have nowhere to go since the kindly one will attack them." Chiron said while trying to talk him out of it.
"Really well that's great news then since that means I'll get some experience fighting them and i'll be getting some training in."
With that Naruto left him to go to his new cabin and prepare for his journey ahead.
-Hera's Cabin-
The moment Naruto entered his mothers cabin he saw her sitting out on the patio leading to the docks making him look around as he made his way towards her. His new cabin had a wooden floor with vines on the walls with tree branches coming out the walls.
Naruto could practically feel the pure nature inside making him loosen his tense muscles and take in a big gulp of air. He was able to also see animals walking in and laying on the floor just resting, making him smile and pat one of the dears that just walked up to him.
"Calming isn't… hope you like it Naru." Hera said while looking back at him and beckoning him over to sit in the empty chair next to her.
"It feels just like Konoha mom… what did you do?" Naruto asked while sitting next to her and accepted the nectar she offered.
"Chaos pulled some strings and brought a bit of the leaf here for you… so going sage mode will be fairly easy in here and only you can enter or those you allow in." Hera told him while drinking her wine.
"I hear you're going on another journey?" Hera said while smirking at his sheepish look.
"Yeah I need to learn more of this world and I need to train and you of all people should know that I learn better through action and not studying." Naruto answered while taking a sip of the nectar.
"Be safe out there ok honey." Hera said while grabbing and squeezing his hand making him squeeze back and smiling at her.
"Here I thought you were gonna try and stop me?"
"Hmph… I know you better than most son since I always kept my eye on you so i know better than to stop you." Hera pouted while looking away which in turn made Naruto smile at his mom.
"Sorry mom… do you have any suggestion on where to go first?" Naruto asked her while looking at the setting sun in the lake while enjoying the feeling of nature coming out of his cabin.
Hera smiled at him and thought for a moment of where to send him to before sighing and summoning a map from thin air.
"I suggest going to New York City so you get used to what this world looks like and also you can check on that demigod child… make sure to mark this place so you can return at any moment." Hera told him while handing him the map.
As soon as he opened it he saw a gold marker next to a light blue arrow. Naruto instantly guessed that the gold marker was his mother while he was the light blue.
"Whenever you see a gold marker it means a god or goddess is around and when you see an area highlighted in gold it means it holds some godly connection." Hera explained while Naruto listened and nodded his head to show he understood.
"Now demigods are white with a golden outline as to show that they hold the potential to become a god." Naruto raised an eyebrow and was gonna ask a question when his mother beat him to it.
"You hold the Shinju honey therefore you technically are a god but with the potential to become a primordial… but Chaos is stopping you so Zeus doesn't throw a little tantrum about it." Hera told him, making him nod his head.
"All you have to do is say your destination and the map will show you the direction you have to take here I'll show you… New York City." Hera loudly spoke and the map instantly started showing a red line that stopped directly on New York City.
"Oh so I just say the location and it'll lead me there… so what if i don't know any location." Naruto asked her while looking at her.
Then it hit Hera that Naruto had no idea about anything of her world and thought about it.
"Son you do know that you have my blessing as well as the queen of Olympus's blessing right?"
"What are these blessings mom?" Hera sighed since she knew this was her fault.
"I guess you can call them bloodlines since only those who are your blood relatives can use them… for instance all of Ares' children are master weapon users as it doesn't matter which weapon it is they instantly pick it up like second nature."
"Ah so I have a bloodline from you mom." Naruto excitedly said while smiling at her.
"Yes as my child you have minor power over my domains and as the child of the queen I have personally claimed you as prince of Olympus therefore you can look at someone and know everything about them." Hera told him, making his smile grow.
"For instance you can look at that little Athena child and know who her mortal father is and what her fatal flaw is. Also if you ever meet a child and you have a feeling he/she might be a demigod you can use my blessing to find out who her godly parent is."
Naruto was liking this but felt that maybe that wouldn't really help him unless he became a demigod retriever or something. Hera seeing this decided to add more to make Naruto more proud of being her son and not think she was weak.
"You also get super strength far greater than even Tsunade as well as being able to tell if something is of godly origin… basically anything within my kingdom you'll know and everything I know you'll know as well." Hera told him Naruto for his part was amazed before a thought came to him.
"So Ares and Hephaestus also have these abilities since they are also my half brothers?" Naruto asked her
"No since I refuse to bless them with them since they are both unworthy… well more like Ares is since if I did he'd try and use it to his own ambitions." Hera told him before remembering something important.
"Naruto dear listen and listen closely Ares will try and fight you as well as Aphrodite will try and seduce you so please be careful ok if you can avoid them please do for now since if Aphrodite get her hands on you she will try and use you to as she pleases." Hera warned him while grabbing his hands.
"Don't worry mom, I've been able to make progress on Madara's Sharingan as well as being able to once more use dads 'Flying Thunder God Technique'." Naruto told her while activating the Rinne-sharingan and showing her.
"Of course I can't do any of the Uchiha's fancy techniques but I'm getting there since now I can dispel illusions and cast minor ones."
Hera smiled at him knowing full well that her son was working hard everyday sometimes from sunrise till sunset.
"So how do I use your blessings mom?"
"When you need it, it will come to you son." Hera told him before standing up and stretching.
"Well I better leave before the other gods figure out I'm here as we aren't 'allowed' to visit our children because of the prophecy and all… stay safe out there Naruto and remember if you ever wish to talk to me all you need to do is pray in my name and I'll hear you." Naruto nodded his head before watching his mother flash away.
"Alright time to pack up should I leave tomorrow or should I wait."
As he started packing, Naruto was in deep thought about when would be the best time to leave camp by the time he finished packing the little he had Naruto decided to leave in a week. As that would give him enough time to train the camp a little more and show them a little more teamwork.
-Four Days Later-
As Naruto kept training the campers he was able to see that some have been able to see that he was planning something since he was training them harder than before.
He could see young Annabeth look at him with sad eyes before pouting and looking away from him. Yet she never missed his lessons in knife play and hand to hand combat.
What really worried him was Luke distancing himself more and more from everyone no one had noticed but he wasn't a shinobi for nothing. He could feel the darkness taking hold of him and when practicing his use of the Sharingan he could see a strange aura around him. He had sent clones after him to spy on him but unfortunately he always managed to give him the slip something that frustrated him to no end.
'I'm gonna have to mark him before i leave or else he might become a threat later on'
As those thoughts went through his head Clarisse La Rue daughter of Ares tried to sneak a quick jab at his face only to have Naruto slam her into the ground and place his foot on her lower back.
"You know sneak attacks are a great plan if and only if you don't do a battle cry before every single one of them." Naruto berated her while removing his foot only to slap her left foot away when she tried to round house his face.
"Come here pretty boy and I'll show you what i can do!" Clarisse yelled while running at him full speed.
Naruto sighed knowingly since no matter how hard he tried to teach her self restraint and teamwork she never listened.
"Clarisse listen no matter how you come at me if you don't have a plan you'll never be able to touch me." Naruto thought that by playing the arrogant persona she would learn faster but to no avail.
"Shut up, I don't need your lectures, I just need you to shut up and taste my fist." as she ran at him Naruto decided to play with her a little.
As she swung, Naruto simply stood still and slapped her fists away while every now and then flicking her forehead or spinning her around and flicking her neck.
"Stop playing around and fight me seriously or are you scared of me or my father." Clarisse growled out while looking him dead in the eyes.
"Kid if I went all out on you, you'd never learn a thing but if you insist I'll show you why these lessons are important." Naruto explained before looking at the gathered group of campers, some including Clarisse's siblings who were cheering her on.
"Look closely all of you and I'll show you why pride and arrogance will be all of your downfall."
When Naruto said that every single Ares child simply laughed while some were boasting about how their father would make it go Clarisse's way. Naruto just shook his head at them knowing how badly they relied on their father to solve their problems for them.
"I see none of you believe me but no matter after I'm done here you will all see how even if your father is a god he won't be able to save you if your opponent is faster and stronger than you."
With that Naruto blurred out of their vision before they all saw Clarisse being thrown around like a rag doll before Naruto stopped and just stared at her seeing how she was being thrown around by the after effect.
'Well this sucks even though I can replenish my sage mode it's still last so little in this world… must be because this world only has very little nature left.'
After Clarisse fell to the ground hard, every last camper looked on in shock of how easy and fast Naruto beat Clarisse as she was only a fly to him.
"As I just demonstrated to you all it doesn't matter if your father is Ares or Zeus if you yourself are weak then having a godly father means nothing." Naruto told them while looking around.
In the back of the group he could see Luke with narrowed eyes watching him like a hawk and Naruto very subtly kept his eye on him.
"Now then who wishes to go next?"
No one moved as they were all too scared or still in shock which disappointed him at how easy it was to break these kids' morale.
"Fine then I'll choose one… Luke!" Everyone present looked in Luke's direction trying to gauge his reaction.
Luke raised an eyebrow but shrugged his shoulder and walked forward and Naruto could see him putting on his friendly older brother mask the closer he got.
"Sure but please do go easy on me since I'm mostly a swordsman." Luke joked.
Naruto though could tell he was trying to snake his way out with his silver tongue but unfortunately Naruto just got a late birthday present from his mother since when he finished the war against the Shinju he had turned seventeen.
"Don't worry Luke since I'm also a swordsman although I must admit sword play is not my forte." with that Naruto summoned The Executioner's Blade making everyone's eyes once more bulge from their sockets.
"This here is named Kubikiribocho better known as The Executioner's Blade it once belonged to an old friend's… father and I was allowed to wield it in his name." with that Naruto put the sword on his back and got in a crouched position much like Zabuza once did to him and his old team.
"Don't hold back Luke or I won't fully be able to grasp where you lie in terms of sword skill… ready whenever you are kid." Luke visibly gulped before reading his own sword and took a tentative step forward.
Naruto smiled at his cautiousness and decided to take the initiative and rushed him, making him raise his sword to block only to fall to one knee as he felt the full brute force and weight of The Executioner's Blade.
"Think before you act, plan before you strike. This is something you must learn to do at once for when you fight another sword user you must be ready." even though Naruto didn't want to make him a bigger threat he couldn't help but picture his old friend Sasuke.
'Sasuke left because he thought he could obtain power outside of the leaf and Luke seems to be going down the same path so if I can show him that I can teach him and help him get stronger here maybe just maybe I can still save him.'
With that he jumped back and put his sword in a defensive position as Luke was able to get up and charge him. Naruto blocked every single strike Luke made which he saw made him angrier if his quicken pace was any proof.
While all around him everyone was whispering about how Luke, the best sword user of their camp was being toyed with as if he was still a beginner. Luke the guy who came to camp after fighting dozens of monsters the guy who after joining the camp made a name for himself as a master swordsman was being toyed with by Naruto.
'It seems he doesn't waste a single strike… he really is a great swordsman but I didn't inherit all of my friends' memories and skill just for show.'
"You're good kid… but I'm not an Uzumaki for nothing!" Luke raised an eyebrow at him saying this only to immediately dodge left seeing The Executioner's Blade nick his right cheek.
With that Luke was put on the run since he could block a sword that big or deflect it and even if he tried to stop it he was pretty sure his sword would snap. He couldn't even find a chink in his form as this was a totally alien form to him as it was not of Greek descendancy.
"What kind of sword stance is this? I've never seen it before?" Luke questioned while dodging more strikes.
"Of course you haven't since all you children do is study Greek history. There is a bigger world out there than just the Olympians but none of you care since the rest require you to actually work for it so you settle for the Greek stances." Naruto lectured while switching between the stances that Bee taught him as well as the ones Yugao taught him.
He could see Luke struggling to even keep up so he decided to end it so as to save him from further embarrassment.
"You're good Luke but unfortunately I'm not tied down to just my Greek heritage like you so have a nice nap." when they heard him say that some looked on in confusion while others started leaving seeing how Naruto was gonna finish it.
Naruto for his part swung The Executioner's Blade behind him while reversing it so as to not cut Luke in half and when he was ready he pumped a minor amount of nature energy into his body.
"Think about what you can do to improve and when you're ready I'll be here to help!"
Luke was about to taunt him before he felt the air leave his body as he saw Naruto under him lifting him up with The Executioner's Blade and then slamming him down on the ground and the last thing he saw was Naruto putting Kubikiribocho on his shoulder and saying something to the crowd.
-Two Days Later-
For the past two days Luke had been asking him for spars which Naruto obliged every time and every time Luke was put into the ground with some effort every time.
Naruto noticed that Luke learned more by doing much like him so he started taking him seriously and making it more difficult for him to gain much experience since he still didn't know if Luke was a threat or if he was just angry at his father.
But now Naruto was busy in his cabin looking at the map of this nation called the United States of America and trying to see where he should go first.
'Luckily Chiron had maps of this world in his library that really helps me with locations… or it would if these maps weren't decades old!'
Naruto internally screamed while trying to map out which locations on Chiron's map still existed and which didn't.
"Urgh some of these are not even mortal settlements some of these are Centaurs, Nymphs and even Satyrs natural habitats." Naruto was losing his mind trying to map out his journey but to no avail.
"Ah screw this I'll head toward New York first and after that I'll let the wind guide me!" Having had enough Naruto threw down the maps and decided to go it the old wanderer style.
"I need sleep." with that Naruto threw himself on his bed and let Morpheus take him to dreamland.
-The Next Morning-
Naruto decided to leave before even the camper woke up to avoid unwanted questions but he couldn't avoid Chiron as when he made it to the front entrance he was there waiting.
"I see that you really mean to leave?" Chiron stated more than asked.
"I see you still haven't stopped trying to make me stay?" as for Naruto he merely crossed his arms and looked at him.
"Is there any way I can persuade you to stay?"
"Look I know you care about everyone here but the thing is I'm not like them as I was raised a shinobi since before I turned thirteen and while yes some of this kids were already fighting monsters around that age none of them were trained to be killers."
"Most of them fought for survival while the shinobi fought for their country. I've fought in a war and I've seen many of my friends die. If I'm to help these kids I need to know your enemies, Chiron." as Naruto explained his reason for leaving Chiron stood there surprised not knowing him to have thought that far ahead.
"You seem to be full of surprises Naruto."
"I'm a Uzumaki and surprising people is our forte." Naruto smiled while putting his hand behind his head.
"Very well but do stay in touch I'm sure your mother would worry if you perish out there with her being unable to help."
"Trust me Chiron she knows." with that Naruto started walking away in the direction the map said New York City was in.
Chiron could merely watch him leave and was praying to his mother to watch over his safety knowing if he prayed to Zeus he might try and kill him out there.
-With Naruto-
As Naruto made it to the road he could see his mother waiting for him and smiling.
"Hey mom, I didn't know you were gonna see me off?" Naruto asked while stopping in front of her.
"Did you actually think I wasn't going to say goodbye to you even if I can talk to you freely whenever I want with telepathy. However seeing you will be impossible as when you left camp you caught the attention of all the gods but luckily I'm hiding you from them for now but I won't be able to always hide you since they might suspect me for it."
"So when I want to see you, you'll need to go to one of my many holy temples in the United States. You can find them just by asking the map." Hera told him while looking at the sky and narrowing her eyes.
"But unfortunately i have to go as Zeus seems to have noticed something off about camp but don't worry he won't try anything against you since I do have leverage against him."
"I'll let you know about my journey every month since if I tell you everyday it will ruin the suspense." Naruto smiles at her while giving her a thumbs up.
Hera walked towards him and hugged him tightly while giving him a kiss on the cheeks.
"Stay safe you hear me son since I still want many grandchildren." Hera smiled at his red face.
"Bye!" Hera jumped back while exclaiming her farewell leaving a red faced Naruto to start walking toward the big apple as the campers called it all the while grumbling about his mothers outburst.
Naruto couldn't help but to look on in amazement at the things that the campers call motor vehicles or cars as he's heard them called.
'Hmm I wonder if I can get one that might make traveling a lot easier?'
As Naruto continued walking he let his thoughts wonder while trying to imagine what this world could hold for him.
The more he thought about it the more he grew excited at all the possible people and fighting he might experience in this new world. But what he was most excited about was visiting this Japan as he heard they made ramen and he needed his fix.
"Alright let's get this journey started the sooner i make it to Japan the sooner I'll get to eat ramen!" with that Naruto marched his way toward New York to take a quick peek at this demigod child to make sure he stayed safe till he was stronger and had a better hold of all this new techniques.
Naruto is on his way towards the big city but is he ready for everything that this new world has or more importantly is he ready for all the mind blowing new sites and gadgets he will soon witness.
