The next few days were really weird, but it soon became routine and that fact mythical creatures were teaching Naruto was not bothering him. It might have bothered his friend Percy but, that is just Percy for you.

Each morning, they would go to a class called Ancient Greek, where they pretty much learned the Greek Language from Annabeth. Now, thanks to their Greek Heritage, they were about to understand it, but it was a little hard for Naruto because he confuse English, Japanese, and Greek with each other some of the time.

Then, after that and breakfast, they would participate in outdoor activities. This is where the boys separated for a bit to see what they were good at. Naruto went along with the schedule to see what was there and some really fun things.

The first one was Sword and Shield class and it was taught by Clarisse. She took this well and decided to prove herself against the blond haired warrior. Naruto, being himself, didn't pick any of the blades that were provided for him. He used the two blades he was giving to by Chiron. To say being were shocked and a little put off by the fierce blades was an understatement.

So while Clarisse used a sword and a shield, they rushed at each other.

Flashback

"Think you can win, Blondie?" asked Clarisse as they circled each other, with their audience watching silently.

"Can't say as I never used swords before." Naruto said, judging her reaction.

Clarisse got a cocky smirk on her face and swung her blade to the side, hoping to catch the blond off guard. He just blocked it with a reversed blade. "Now that is not to say I have never actually used a blade before."

Annoyed, Clarisse rammed her shield into the blond to unbalance him. It worked as he dropped his dragon sword. Noticing he and no time to pick it up, he ducked a sword strike that was meant for his head and thought up a plan.

"You know, this is a learning experience for all, so, I think I should teach you something as well!" Naruto said with a smirk and Clarisse just looked at him confused. "I was taught, to never watch the blade." He said as he threw it in the air. Everyone followed it with their eyes and that was all Naruto needed.

He rushed up and kicked and the shield out of Clarisse's hand, causing to drop her sword and fall on her ass. The next thing she knew was that a pair of black knives was around her neck. She saw that the Fox sword was imbedded into the ground and he was not there. So that must mean that he was the one with the knives!

"Now that, is called improvising if you are not good with what you are using." He said into her ear, making her shudder, but she did get to enjoy it much because he took the blades away and offered her a hand to get back up. She gratefully took it and walked away silently. No one saw the blush on her face as they were all asking if Naruto could fight him.

Flashback End

That had been fun, but he could not figure out why Clarisse walked away and why she would not look at him for the rest of that day…..odd.

After that, he tried out the archery class with Chiron. The horse man did say he was just a bit better than Percy. Naruto was not great at it. He could throw kunai and shurikan, but he was just not that great with bows and arrows. Though, he did admit that that pack more power than his throwing weapons.

The next thing he tried was wing horseback riding. At first, the horses were wary of him because he had an odd smell. But one did come up to him and it was a pure silver one. That had been shocking because that won did not trust a lot of people and with a first meeting to boot.

So, after their lunch, they all practiced aerial combat. At first, Naruto had been air sick, but quickly got over that. Just like last time, he had no clue how to fight in the air, so he improved again, scaring the crap out of the Demeter cabin when he had jumped off his Pegasus and kicked his opponent in the head to knock him away. The part that scared them, however, was that he was then free falling to the ground. Luckily, the Pegasus caught him. Let's just say he had mae an impression on the Demeter cabin. Whether it was good or not, only time would tell.

Then had a class on monster assaulting and he made that even more fun than what the Hermes cabin was doing. He blasted some of the monsters stocked in the woods with his wind attacks so that the other campers could get a good strike in before it regained its bearings.

After that he had a choice on what he could do. So for the next three days, he tried something new each time. In Arts and Crafts, he and the Hephaestus cabin had created a ninja-to with celestial bronze and the Minotaur horn he had acquired. It was pretty effective in the weapon area and he now had another weapon to use, always a plus! And since they had time, they had created a unique shield for him. On each arm was half of it and it could turn into a huge shield if he put the two together and the two halves acted as a weapon that Naruto thought up, buzz saws! Those three were added to his bracelets. The charms were that of the half a shield on both arms and a horn for the Minotaur blade. Oh yeah, he could defiantly work with the Hephaestus kids again.

Another day, he tried canoe racing. That…. Want fast. Food him and percy it was a tie with both of them Staying neck and neck. Then he had some fun in the sun on the nearby beach, that was some good relaxing time, but that was it to Naruto and of course he was oblivious to all the girl ogling him, mostly Clarisse and the Aphrodite cabin girls.

After all that, there was free time and Naruto with either talk to Thalia in Limbo or hand out with, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover. During that time, Percy told them about his sword fight with their cabin leader, Luke. That was fun to hear about but they had also heard about his sword fight with Clarisse and wanted to know more on what happened.

Thalia was very interested in knowing what he did, and that was to be expected from someone suck in a tree. The day before Capture the Flag, Naruto told her all about his world and she was skeptical at first but she soon believed him when he was able to do a jutsu in limbo. She then told him about her journey to camp half-blood with Luke, Annabeth, and Grover. That was a really interesting tale. Before he left that night, he told her he would find a way to help her out of the tree and that was a promise. She just smiled and hugged him, hoping that he would be able to save her from this nightmare.

Now however, Naruto, Percy, and Grover were at the pier. Naruto was watching the clouds while the other two were staring into the water. Naruto could tell that Percy had barely survived the rock wall because he smelt all toasty. When he heard Grover saying something about a searcher's license, he asked, "Ok what the heck is a searcher's license?"

"Oh!" Grover jumped, forgetting that his friend was there. "It will let me search for Pan, God of the Wild."

"Huh….so you get it?" the blond asked.

Grover looked down at the naiads in the water. "Mr. D suspended judgment. He said I hadn't failed or succeeded with you two yet, so our fates were still tied together. If you got a quest and I went along to protect you, and we all came back alive, then maybe he'd consider the job complete."

"Well, that's not so bad, right?" Percy asked.

"Blaa-ha-ha! He might as well have transferred me to stable-cleaning duty. The chances of you getting a quest... and even if you did, why would you want me along?"

"Of course we would want you along!' Percy said.

Naruto bopped his goat like friend on the head. "Don't be so gloomy! You are our friend!"

Grover stared glumly into the water. "Basket-weaving ... Must be nice to have a useful skill."

Naruto and Percy tried to reassure him that he had lots of talents, but that just made him look more miserable. They talked about canoeing and swordplay for a while, with Naruto being better at sword play and how they are even at water based events. That made Percy laugh at the memory of his friend keeping up with him. Then they debated the pros and cons of the different gods. Naruto said that if one had the lord of the dead on your side, you would not have to worry about monsters going after you. Finally, Percy asked Grover about the four empty cabins.

"Number eight, the silver one, belongs to Artemis," he said. "She vowed to be a maiden forever. So of course, no kids. The cabin is, you know, honorary. If she didn't have one, she'd be mad."

"Understandable, but come on! Having no kids of your own? That kinda sucks." Naruto commented.

"Well, she is head of the hunters, so she has kids, but they are not her own." Grover said.

"Hmm, claiming unclaimed kids, nice!" Naruto said.

"But, they are only girls." Grover replied.

Naruto thought about it and shivered, if Anko was there, thing would be crazy!

"Yeah, okay. But the other three, the ones at the end. Are those the Big Three?" Asked Percy.

Grover tensed. The two boys guessed they were getting close to a touchy subject. "No. One of them, number two, is Hera's," he said. "That's another honorary thing. She's the goddess of marriage, so of course she wouldn't go around having affairs with mortals. That's her husband's job. When we say the Big Three, we mean the three powerful brothers, the sons of Kronos."

"Zeus, Poseidon, Hades." Percy stated.

"Right. You know. After the great battle with the Titans, they took over the world from their

dad and drew lots to decide who got what."

"Zeus got the sky," Naruto stated. "Poseidon the sea, Hades the Underworld."

"Uh-huh." Grover said.

"But Hades doesn't have a cabin here." Surprisingly, Percy said this.

"No. He doesn't have a throne on Olympus, either. He sort of does his own thing down in the Underworld. If he did have a cabin here ..." Grover shuddered. "Well, it wouldn't be pleasant. Let's leave it at that."

"He can't be that bad." Naruto rolled his eyes.

"He is kind of creepy." Grover stated.

"But Zeus and Poseidon—they both had, like, a bazillion kids in the myths. Why are their cabins empty?" Percy asked.

Grover shifted his hooves uncomfortably. "About sixty years ago, after World War II, the Big Three agreed they wouldn't sire any more heroes. Their children were just too powerful. They were affecting the course of human events too much, causing too much carnage. World War II, you know, that was basically a fight between the sons of Zeus and Poseidon on one side, and the sons of Hades on the other. The winning side, Zeus and Poseidon, made Hades swear an oath with them: no more affairs with mortal women. They all swore on the River Styx."

"Well, that is interesting. A world war caused by your kids….i think they made a good choice, except one thing bugs me." Naruto said.

"What?" Percy asked.

"They are immortal. They are going to break that oath one day, because nobody can give up their life style."

"Wow, I don't think they even thought about that." Grover said with wide eyes.

"But they have kept that oath…right." Percy asked

Grover's face darkened. "Seventeen years ago, Zeus fell off the wagon. There was this TV starlet with a big fluffy eighties hairdo—he just couldn't help himself. When their child was born, a little girl named Thalia .. . well, the River Styx is serious about promises. Zeus himself got off

because he's immortal, but he brought a terrible fate on his daughter."

Naruto's face darkened. Yeah, dear old dad could not protect his daughter from all the way up there and let her be turned into a tree right before she died!

"But that isn't fair.' It wasn't the little girl's fault." Percy said and Naruto nodded.

Grover hesitated. "Percy, children of the Big Three have powers greater than other halfbloods.

They have a strong aura, a scent that attracts monsters. When Hades found out about the girl, he wasn't too happy about Zeus breaking his oath. Hades let the worst monsters out of Tartarus to torment Thalia. A satyr was assigned to be her keeper when she was twelve, but there was nothing he could do. He tried to escort her here with a couple of other half-bloods she'd befriended. They almost made it. They got all the way to the top of that hill."

He pointed across the valley, to the pine tree where they had fought the minotaur. "All three Kindly Ones were after them, along with a horde of hellhounds. They were about to be overrun when Thalia told her satyr to take the other two half-bloods to safety while she held off the monsters. She was wounded and tired, and she didn't want to live like a hunted animal. The satyr didn't want to leave her, but he couldn't change her mind, and he had to protect the others. So Thalia made her final stand alone, at the top of that hill. As she died, Zeus took pity on her. He turned her into that pine tree. Her spirit still helps protect the borders of the valley. That's why the hill is called Half-Blood Hill."

Percy stared at the pine in the distance and he noticed that Naruto was clenching his fists. The story made him feel hollow, and guilty too. A girl his age had sacrificed herself to save her friends. She had faced a whole army of monsters. Next to that, their victory over the Minotaur didn't seem like much. He wondered, if he'd acted differently, could he have saved his mother?

"Grover," Percy said, "have heroes really gone on quests to the Underworld?"

"Sometimes," he said. "Orpheus. Hercules. Houdini."

"And have they ever returned somebody from the dead?"

"No. Never. Orpheus came close... . Percy, you're not seriously thinking—"

"No," He lied. "I was just wondering. So ... a satyr is always assigned to guard a demigod?"

Before Grover could answer, Naruto piped in. "Percy, I know how you feel, but you can't really revive some one that is dead. I know a ninja that did and he was truly a madman."

"What do you mean 'I know how you feel'?" Percy asked.

"I have wanted to revive my mom for a long time, but when I heard what Orochimaru had done, I took back my idea of doing that?"

"What did he do?" Grover asked, now curious."

"When he was fighting his old teacher, old man hokage, he summon the long dead, first and second Hokages by sacrificing the bodies of his students. You see, to revive someone, you have to kill someone in return." Naruto explained and he saw horrified looks on his two friends. "So please, don't even try it."

"I won't" Percy said, shaky because of that story.

Grover decided to change the subject by answering Percy's question. "We are not always assigned that way.. We go undercover to a lot of schools. We try to sniff out the half-bloods who have the makings of great heroes. If we find one with a very strong aura, like a child of the Big Three, we alert Chiron. He tries to keep an eye on them, since they could cause really huge problems."

"And you found me and then Naruto. Chiron said you thought me and Naruto might be something special."

Grover looked as if Percy had just led him into a trap, and Naruto smirked. Grover had been caught! "I didn't... Oh, listen, don't think like that. If you were—you know—you'd never ever be allowed a quest, and I'd never get my license. You're probably a child of Hermes. Or maybe even one of the minor gods, like Nemesis, the god of revenge. Don't worry, okay?"

"Really Grover, Nemesis? Percy is not that vengeful, now Sasuke might be and if he is, I would not be surprised." Naruto said, whiel the other two shudder, they knew about Sasuke and his obsession with power and revenge. "What about me?'

"Uh….you seem to be good at making stuff, so would say you are related to the smith god."

"Hmm…you have a point.' Naruto said thoughtfully.

"Hehm, or the goddess of love." Percy said with a smirk, but Naruto just looked at him confused. You can't be serious…

XXXX

At last, it was time for capture the flag.

When the plates were cleared away, the conch horn sounded and we all stood at our tables.

Campers yelled and cheered as Annabeth and two of her siblings ran into the pavilion carrying a silk banner. It was about ten feet long, glistening gray, with a painting of a barn owl above an olive tree. From the opposite side of the pavilion, Clarisse and her buddies ran in with another banner, of identical size, but gaudy red, painted with a bloody spear and a boar's head.

"Ah, so those must be the flags." Naruto stated.

"Yeah." He heard Luke say.

"Ares and Athena always lead the teams?" Percy asked.

"Not always," Luke said. "But often."

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

Luke grinned. "You'll see. First we have to get one."

"Whose side are we on?" Naruto asked.

Luke gave them a sly look, that combined with his scar, made him look evil in the torch light. "We've made a temporary alliance with Athena. Tonight, we get the flag from Ares. And the two of you are going to help."

The teams were announced. Athena had made an alliance with Apollo and Hermes, the two biggest cabins. Apparently, privileges had been traded—shower times, chore schedules, the best slots for activities—in order to win support.

Ares had allied themselves with everybody else: Dionysus, Demeter, Aphrodite, and Hephaestus. From what Naruto seen, Dionysus's kids were actually good athletes, but there were only two of them. Demeter's kids had the edge with nature skills and outdoor stuff but they weren't very aggressive. Aphrodite's sons and daughters they weren't too worried about. They mostly sat out every activity and checked their reflections in the lake and did their hair and gossiped. Hephaestus's kids weren't pretty, and there were only four of them, but they were big and burly from working in the metal shop all day. They might be a problem. That, of course, left Ares's cabin: a dozen of the biggest, ugliest, meanest kids on Long Island, or anywhere else on the planet. All in all, Naruto thought he was have some real fun today!

Chiron hammered 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, and have no more than two guards. Prisoners may be disarmed, but may not be bound or gagged. No killing or maiming is allowed. I will serve as referee and battlefield medic. Arm yourselves!" He spread his hands, and the tables were suddenly covered with equipment: helmets, bronze swords, spears, oxhide shields coated in metal.

"Whoa," Percy said in surprise. "We're really supposed to use these?"

Luke looked at him as if Percy had gone crazy. "Unless you want to get skewered by your friends in cabin five. Here—Chiron thought these would fit. You'll be on border patrol."

While Luke was fitting Percy with Greek armor, Naruto was chuckling to himself, "Man, this reminds of the chunin exams, I just hope nothing bad happens. He then took out a scroll and out popped a set of ANBU gear that he, heh, acquired before he left. People looked at him oddly before shrugging it off, already used to Naruto oddities. "Ok I got to ask. Where did you get those!" Percy asked.

"I uh, stole them before I left home. Thought they would come in handy someday."

"Ok then, you might be Hermes kid now." Percy deadpanned while Luke smirked.

Naruto decided to humor them by putting on a greek helmet with the blue fur on top because blue was for Athena's side. Annabeth yelled, "Blue team, forward!"

The group cheered and shook their swords and followed her down the path to the south woods. The red team yelled taunts at them as they headed off toward the north. Percy though wondered why his blond friend did not take out his weapon, not that he knew that Naruto was armed tot the teeth.

Percy made his way to the Annabeth without tripping all over his armor and said, "Hey." Though she just kept on marching. "So what's the plan?" He asked. "Got any magic items you can loan me?" Naruto noticed that her hand was hovering over her pocket when his friend asked that. Quirking an eyebrow, he decided to get in more to eavesdrop.

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

"Nice to know!" Naruto's voice said from above them. They knew he was probably tree hoping, so they were not concerned.

"Border patrol, same as Naruto, whatever that means."

"It's easy. Stand by the creek, keep the reds away. Leave the rest to me. Athena always has a plan." She said as he pushed ahead, leaving him in the dust.

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

Naruto jumped down next to him, scaring him and a few others. "Don't worry about, patrol is an important task as well. Besides, if you are lucky, you might be able to fight!"

"Gee thanks." Percy rolled his eyes.

XXXX

Day had turned to night by now as Naruto and Percy were stationed next to a little creek that gurgled over some rocks, then she and the rest of the team scattered into the trees. The two stood there for a little bit and groaned.

"I get it, border patrol is out of the way, so newbies like us won't their way." Naruto growled. He needed to do something. Smirking he got an idea. He performed his favorite jutsu just as a horn sounded and they heard whoops from enemy territory. While he left a copy to watch over Percy, he went into the forest to scare some campers.

Soon he came upon a few Demeter and Aphrodite kids and smirked. He took out his new ninja-to. The one thing he found out about this new blade that it had a special ability. It had the power to project genjutsu. He smirked and sent chakra to. He made and grunt and they looked over to him and their eyes widened in fear. For what they saw was the Minotaur! He had an advance on them and their screamed and ran. "Oh yeah, this will be really useful in the future." He was then assaulted by the memories of the clone he left with Percy, it dispelled itself right as Clarisse attacked Percy. "Hmmm, I wonder what she has against him." He wondered aloud as he shunshin to where Percy was, only behind a tree so he could surprise them. Climbing to a tree branch, he watched as Percy did his best against Clarisse and her friends. Ah, so her spear has the lightning element infused with it...ouch.

"Give him a haircut," Clarisse said. "Grab his hair."

Percy managed to get to his feet. He raised his sword, but Clarisse slammed it aside with her spear as sparks flew. Now both of his my arms felt numb.

"Oh, wow," Clarisse said. "I'm scared of this guy. Really scared."

"The flag is that way," Percy told her, he meant to sound angry but Naruto and the others heard it differently, if the situation was different, the blond would have laughed.

"Yeah," one of her siblings said. "But see, we don't care about the flag. We care about a guy who made our cabin look stupid."

"You do that without my help," Percy growled out and he instantly regretted it because it was probably the dumbest thing to say at the moment.

Two of them came at Percy. He backed up toward the creek, tried to raise myhis shield, but Clarisse too fast. Her spear stuck his straight in the ribs. If he hadn't been wearing an armored

breastplate, he would've been shish-ke-babbed, it still hurt like hell because the point got htrough and shocked him.. One of her cabinmates slashed his sword across his arm, leaving a goodsize

cut.

"No maiming," Percy got out, feeling dizzy. Now Naruto had enough, he took out something to end this.

"Oops," the guy said. "Guess I lost my dessert privilege." They then pushed Percy into the lake, which was a mistake for them.

"Demon Windmill Shurikan!"

"Demon what?" On of the ares kids yelled. They all looked around them to see a huge ass shurikan coming right for them! "WHAT THE HELL!" the same kid yelled as all of them dove out of the way, but when they looked up, it was spinning place.

Somehow, Clarisse knew that it was Naruto and got ready. She was proven correct as it poofed into said blond. "Hiya, you all miss me?" Everyone just looked at him like he had grown two heads.

"The hell were you!" he heard Percy, who looked all healed up now.

"Scaring off their reinforcements." Naruto said with a dumb grin.

"Damnit!"one the ares kids said. "Charge!"

The two boys nodded to each other and got back to back. They had been in fist fights at school and they knew what to do. Two Ares kids rushed Percy and he swung away their blades before he punched one in the gut and then kicked the other in the face. He was so glad Naruto taught him how to fight better.

The other Ares kids rushed Naruto, who just smirked as he blocked the first two's swords before he pushed their blades away and then grabbed their head to bonk them together. He then ducked a blade that was aimed for his head. He fell to the ground and jumped up to punch the kid upwards like he did to Neji and then preformed a Leaf Hurricane to the his stomach, sending him to a nearby tree. Naruto then looked to Clarisse and gave her a 'come on' gesture with his hands. Not wanted to miss out on a new battle, she charged the blond.

Naruto bent over backwards as the spear passed over him, he then swung around it to use it as a spring board and jumped high the air. Using her temporary distraction, Percy came up and sliced the blade of the spear off. She looked back at Percy to a sword in her face and two knives at her neck….again. "We win, Princess of War." Naruto said into her ear, making her blush again.

Then they heard yelling, elated screams, and they saw Luke racing toward the boundary line with the red team's banner lifted high. He was flanked by a couple of Hermes guys covering his retreat, and a few Apollos behind them, fighting off the Hephaestus kids. The Ares folks got up, and Clarisse muttered a dazed curse.

"A trick!" she shouted. "It was a trick."

They staggered after Luke, but it was too late. Everybody converged on the creek as Luke ran across into friendly territory. The blue side exploded into cheers. The red banner shimmered and turned to silver. The boar and spear were replaced with a huge caduceus, the symbol of cabin eleven. Everybody on the blue team picked up Luke and started carrying him around on their shoulders. Chiron cantered out from the woods and blew the conch horn.

The game was over. They had won!

The boy were about to join the celebration when Annabeth's voice, right next to them in the creek, said, "Not bad, heroes."

Percy looked around but should not see her. Naruto, however, did. She took of the cap she was wearing and said "Where the heck did you learn to fight like that?"

Percy was at first shocked before he pointed to Naruto. "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 it all figured out."

Annabeth shrugged. "I told you. Athena always, always has a plan."

"A plan to get me pulverized."

"I came as fast as I could. I was about to jump in, but ..." She shrugged. "You didn't need help, Narutp came in pretty quick with that huge Shurikan like weapon."

Annabeth then looked at Percy's arm. "How did you do that?"

"Sword cut," Percy said. "What do you think?"

"No. It was a sword cut. Look at it."

"Well damn, will you look at that!" Naruto commented as they saw that it was healed up.

"I—I don't get it," Percy said, shocked. The blood was gone. Where the huge cut had been, there was a long white scratch, and even that was fading, it turned into a small scar, and disappeared.

Annabeth was thinking hard. She looked down at his feet, then at Clarisse's broken spear, and said, "Step out of the water, Percy."

"What—"

"Just do it."

Sighing, he got out and looked bone dry. He also looked to have the adrenaline rush gone that he had when fighting. So he fell, but Annabeth quickly supported him.

"Oh, Styx," she cursed. "This is not good. I didn't want ... I assumed it would be Zeus..."

Naruto looked at her oddly before he got it as well, but he did not have much time to voice his thoughts because he heard a growl before a loud howl ripped through the forest. The campers' cheering died instantly. Chiron shouted something in Ancient Greek, which He and Percy somehow knew it was, "Stand ready! My bow!"

Annabeth drew her sword.

There on the rocks just above them was a black hound the size of a rhino, with lava-red eyes and

fangs like daggers and it was looking straight at Percy. Annabeth told him to run but he was froze in fear at this beast, so she stood in front of him. That didn't do much for him because it just jumped over her and landed right in front of Percy. He fell on his ass as it slashed at him and snarled, showing its many teeth to the young boy.

By this point, Naruto stepped in, having enough of people and beasts trying to kill his friend. "BAD DOG! U!" He yelled as he charged the beast, much to Chiron's protest, and kick it up in the air. Naruto created four clones of himself, and they shot into the air. "ZU!" they yelled as one of them kicked it higher into the air, then two came on both sides of it and struck the beast's sides with high powered kicks. "MA! KI!" Then the original decended down to the beast with his new Rasengan his has been working on. "Oodama Rasengan Barrage!" He drove the large ball of swirl energy into the stomach, making it cry out in agonizing pain.

Jumping away, he cursed as he saw the wound on the beast, healing up, just like with the Minotaur. "Screw this!" He yelled as he performed a familiar set of hand seals. "Summoning Jutsu!" There was a large poof of smoke and everyone's eyes widened to see that Naruto was on a giant orange….toad?

"What the hell!" The toad yelled, shocked everyone more as it looked up. "NARUTO! I thought you were dead!"

"I'll explain later GamaKichi, right now I need some oil!" Naruto said in a rush. The toad looked to where Naruto was glare at and grunted. Some giant dog huh, well this should be easy. He spat out the oil just as Naruto called out, "Fire style: Hellfire Dragon!" Out of his mouth came a huge black flaming dragon that, with combined with the oil, made it even larger before it arced upwards and then crashed down on the scared shitless dog like creature. When it was over, Naruto turned to his shell shocked audience and decided to crack a joke, "Someone order an extra crispy dog?"

"Whoa…" said one of the younger Ares campers. There was a murmuring of whispers on how the heck Naruto had done that.

Chiron trotted up next Percy and Naruto as the giant told disappeared, with a grim face.

"Di immortales!" Annabeth said. "That's a hellhound from the Fields of Punishment. They don't ... they're not supposed to ..."

"Someone summoned it," Chiron said. "Someone inside the camp."

Luke came over, the banner in his hand forgotten, his moment of glory gone.

Clarisse yelled, "It's all Percy's fault! Percy summoned it!"

"Be quiet, child," Chiron told her. They watched as what remain of the body of the hellhound melt into shadow, soaking into the ground until it disappeared.

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

"I'm okay."

"No, you're not," she said. "Chiron, watch this." Percy was too tired to argue. He stepped back into the creek, the whole camp gathering around him. He instantly looked a lot better and the cut on his chest healed up like nothing had happened.

"Look, I—I don't know why," He said, trying to apologize. "I'm sorry..." But they were not watching that, He saw that their eyes, Naruto included, where above his head.

"Percy," Annabeth said, pointing upward. "Um ..."

By the time he looked up, the sign was already fading, but he could still make out the hologram of green light, spinning and gleaming. A three-tipped spear: a trident.

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

"It is determined," Chiron announced. All around mehim, campers started kneeling, even the Ares cabin, though they didn't look happy, about it. Of course, Naruto didn't making him feel better, because this was just awkward.

"My father?" Percy asked, completely bewildered.

"Poseidon," said Chiron. "Earthshaker, Stormbringer, Father of Horses. Hail, Perseus

Jackson, Son of the Sea God."

Percy looked to Naruto for help, but gasped as he saw seven images above Naruto! Everyone looked where he was and their jaws dropped. Above Naruto, were seven symbols. One, larger than the other 6 was that of a gold helmet, the symbol of Hades. The other 6 were a scallop, a crescent moon with a star in it, crescent moons and a torch, one meaning ocean, two hammers, and finally a starry sky.

"Oh crap, Hades, God of the Underworld." Grover announced, "but what are the other two?"

Chiron said with a Grim face. "Naruto Uzumaki is the Son of Hades and is related to Aphrodite Nyx Hecate Tarturus Asteria and Oceanus.  ."
