Chapter Text

Mount. Olympus, the center of Godly World, hovering above the current heart of Western Civilization, New York city.

This was not just the place where Gods and Goddesses gathered to have their yearly meeting every Winter Solstice, the mountain was also called Paradise, with Golden Buildings and happy people.

Located at the top of it was a large city containing the palaces for the Olympian Gods, Goddesses, and residences for many minor gods and other creatures of Greek mythology.

But the greatest structure of Mt. Olympus was the Throne Room, The Hall of the Gods.

It was the place where the Gods of mount Olympus have their Summer, Winter Solstice, and regular as well as emergency meetings. High above, the blue ceiling could be seen glittering with constellations. The Thrones of the gods stand in a U around the hearth, starting with Zeus and Poseidon's thrones as they are the most powerful Greek gods.

From Zeus and Poseidon's thrones the Goddesses sit on the left side of the hearth and the other Gods sit on the right side and Hestia's hearth is in the center of the Hall.

Since no meeting was currently being held in the Throne Room, most of the Olympians, the twelve most powerful gods, were minding their own business all around the world, or taking care of the domains that they represented.

However, there was a god and a goddess currently sitting in the throne room, sitting on their respective thrones with a dark atmosphere surrounding them.

The god was tall, imposing, and very muscular, with long black shoulder-length hair with a gray-and-black neatly trimmed beard. He had brilliant electrically-blue eyes with a serious and proud, but very handsome face. His attire was a dark blue pinstripe suit.

This was Zeus, the Greek god of Honor, Justice, Lightning, Rain and the Sky. He was the King of Olympus, the youngest son of the Titans Kronos and Rhea, and the husband of the goddess Hera, who was sitting next to him with a face void of any emotion.

Hera was the youngest daughter of Kronos and Rhea, whose long licorice-black hair she inherited. She had a face of regal and unapproachable beauty like that of a supermodel on a fashion runway, and a pair of large, soft brown eyes that one could get lost in.

She was the goddess of Familial Love, Marriage, Motherhood, Women and also the Queen of Olympus.

As they sat on their respective thrones next to each other, the atmosphere between them was thick and heavy, as if one could cut through it with a knife. The King and Queen of Olympus had not spoken any words to each other for a whole week now, all because of the horrible event that had happened last Sunday.

Thalia Grace, the latest demigod daughter of Zeus, was killed by the monsters sent by Hades right in front of Camp Half-Blood and later turned into a tree with magic to protect the Camp from all monsters by Zeus himself.

Hera wasn’t happy about it, not in the slightest. Zeus had cheated on her again - her, the Goddess of Marriage, for a mere mortal woman. Not only that, but he had also turned his daughter into a tree to make sure that she would never fall into their eldest brother’s grasp.

She loves her husband with all her heart, but he could never keep it in his pants and stay loyal to her, like how she had always done to him.

They had gone through so many things together and yet...

"Hera… I’m..." Finally, Zeus decided to speak up, breaking the uncomfortable silence between the two of them with a low tone.

"I am not in the mood, Zeus..." Hera plainly said while looking away, her face still remained the same. After so many years of having Zeus cheated on her for so many times, she had come to get used to it.

But, unlike her son, Hephaestus, who would gladly divorce his unfaithful wife, she couldn't... couldn't ever get over it mentally. It didn't change the fact that it still hurt a lot whenever an off-spring of his showed up, or was discovered.

"Hera..."

"I am heading back." Hera said emotionlessly as she stood up from her throne and got ready to transform into her true form to teleport away, but her husband suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Wait, Kushina..."

Just how many years had it been since the last time he called her by that name?

It had been so long ago - one of the only times in her long, immortal life that Hera had found true happiness with him… and the marriage between them.

Sure, they still had powers… but they were not godly. There were no divine responsibilities that they had to worry about, nothing… it was just the love between them - two regular mortals.

Elemental Nations, the place where their oldest ancestors, the Primordial gods and goddesses had created a very long ago, separated from this world. It was the world where mortals called Shinobi, or simply ninja in modern language, lived and worked, wielding a special energy called Chakra to bend the powers of nature to their will and do things only them, the Gods and Goddesses of this world, as well as their demigods offsprings, could do.

Beside the Primordial gods themselves, only Zeus, Hera and their siblings knew about the place, as it was kept as top secret information from the other Gods, who they deemed way too young and irresponsible to know about a world like that.

Zeus, who had wanted to experience the life of the mortals of Elemental Nations, thought it might be a good idea for them to take some time off from the life of deities.

At first, Hera did not think it was a good idea, for they were gods who had important works to take care of, but after being convinced by her husband, she had finally agreed to come with him, as long as there were just the two of them.

With the powers of the Fates and Hecate, goddess of magic, who both agreed to help them, they were able to create artificial bodies to fuse their divine essences into, while temporarily suppressing their godly aspect as well as their powers, making them almost entirely humans.

And with the powers of the Fates, Zeus and Hera were born into Elemental Nations as mortals, with the King of the Greek Gods becoming a young man named Minato Namikaze, while his wife was born into the Uzumaki Clan, with her mortal name being Kushina.

In order to conceal their true identities from other gods in the situation that they somehow discovered Elemental Nations by accident, Hecate had made sure that their mortal bodies did not look the same as they were as god and goddess.

Despite her best efforts, however, the goddess of magic could not alter Zeus’ appearance completely due to his immense power as the King of the Greek gods, leaving him with his brilliant electric blue eyes.

He was, however, the god of drama, so Zeus was able to play into his character so much that Hera couldn't help but do the same with her new identity, to the point that there had been times that the two of them completely forgot who they really were.

They had so much fun together…

"Get your hand off me." Hera said coldly without even looking at her husband "And don't you dare call me with that name again, Zeus."

Even though they were gods, whose powers allowed them to control the aspects of life, Zeus and Hera were well aware of the fact that their authority was not absolute, and they were restricted by the ancient rules that Chaos himself had written in order to keep them from doing exactly what they wanted.

For them, everything came with a heavy price, and the Fates themselves had warned them about it.

They had a son there… and his name was Naruto.

He was no god, just a normal boy who Hera had given birth to in the traditional way. She had given birth to many of Zeus’ children before, but it was the first time in her life that she had felt so much love and pride for a child.

Naruto was everything that she had ever wanted.

But the night that they had Naruto, they had to pay the price of happiness… the price of being Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, two mortals whose true natures were two of the most powerful Gods of their world.

"Hera, please..." Zeus pleaded as he stood up "I can't just leave Thalia like that. I cannot let her fall into the hand of my brother. You know what he will do to my child."

"Then you shouldn't have brought her to this world in the first place, husband. You know the consequence, but no, you still have to do it. It was you who suggested the oath to your brother, and yet, you broke it first." Hera turned around, her beautiful brown eyes radiating with power "it was all your fault!"

"I know..."

"Thalia was your daughter, yes, she’s but a child. She does not deserve such a life, such a tragic end… When are you going to realize that you always make the worst, stupidest decisions?"

She spoke to him sternly, and even though her voice did not hold any emotion, even Zeus could tell that she was incredibly angry, and was ready to explode at him for real.

"And don’t you dare forget, that if it weren’t for you… Naruto would still be alive!" She finished with a tear falling from her left eye, as she remembered her mortal son...her beautiful mortal son who died the same day she cradled him in her arms for the first time.

Kyuubi, a creature so powerful his power easily rivaled Typhoon, Olympus' destroyer, also killed them that night. However, because they were gods in mortal bodies, what the tailed beast killed were simply their human aspects. Their divine essences remained and thus, allowed them to return to life soon after.

The first thing that they did as soon as they reformed had been heading back to Konoha and looking for their son, Naruto, who became the new vessel for Kyuubi, making him a Jinchuriki. Because Kushina, or Hera, were the previous vessel of the beast, knew better than anyone the difficult life of a vessel of a tailed beast, so she did not want her son to be raised in Elemental Nations, knowing full well that he would have a difficult life ahead of him if he stayed there.

She had wanted to raise him on Earth, not just because she did not want such a life for her son, but also because he was the clearest proof that Zeus and Hera ‘worked’, and there was genuine love between the two of them.

But when they came back to Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen, one of the only people that they had revealed their true existences to, had told them that he was dead.

Their son...Naruto was dead...

Of course Hera did not believe it. With her godly powers, she had threatened to kill the old monkey and everyone he held dear, including Konoha itself, for the lie that he had said. But when she looked into his mind and saw Sarutobi laid a small coffin down the hole between the graves of Minato and Kushina, she could not hold it anymore and broke down into tears.

Even worse, she couldn't come to Elemental Nations’ Underworld to see him, or to hold him in her arms, because it was not the same as theirs. Elemental Nations’ Underworld was out of order, and there was no Elysium, no mercy was ever shown there, just the worst punishment for the souls that had committed crime in life, and simple afterlife for the innocent like her baby.

Zeus wasn't any better than her. He had tried to act tough, for he had a pride and an ego that was unmatched by any man or gods; but the death of his mortal son, who was very special to him, had been too much for even the prideful King of the Greek gods to handle.

For the first time ever, Zeus had broken down into tears, and called for Naruto in vain.

After that night, they both swore to never return to Elemental Nations, for they were well aware of the fact that it would only bring them the worst memories. Sure they had had their moments of happiness, but the pain of losing their son was too much for either of them to handle.

Hera locked herself in her palace for days, then weeks and then months and then years. She had never experienced the death of one of her children before, as all of them were gods or goddesses. But it broke her heart just to remember about Naruto.

"Do not try to vindicate yourself Zeus, I know you better than anyone." Hera looked away, she didn't want to look into his eyes now. They were the same eyes as those of their son, who had inherited his father’s trademark eyes. "You sealed the Kyuubi in Naruto and that was the reason why he was dead...it was all because of you."

"I don't have anything to justify myself… but, you know that I don’t have a choice, Hera. I did what I must, as a shinobi and the leader of Konoha." Zeus said firmly, and Hera decided to not say anything in return, knowing that she could not argue.

‘Shinobi’... she still remembered the meaning of that word.

But before neither of them could speak up again, the entire Throne Room was shaken violently by a massive wave of power.

All over Olympus, the gods and Goddesses had no choice but to stop whatever they were doing and looked up in shock when they felt such a powerful feeling.

While the minor Gods were confused by it, the twelve Olympian, especially the eldest six, knew the feeling very well.

It had happened once before, many millennia ago.

It was the feeling that they would all feel when a human transcended the boundary between mortals and gods, and utilized a power that was on par with a Primordial being.

Such a fact was almost impossible.

"Zeus..."

"I know." Nodding his head at his wife and deciding to leave their personal issues for a later time, Zeus summoned his Master Bolt and launched a massive bolt of lightning to the sky, summoning the other Olympians, even his eldest brother Hades, who was not welcomed on Olympus except for the Winter Solstice event.

In flashes of light, all twelve appeared in the throne room, with many looking at their king in confusion. Poseidon and Hades were the only ones who immediately took their seats, knowing full well that they would want to sit down to take in whatever that was happening.

Despite not being an Olympian and no longer had a seat among them, it did not take long for Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, to arrive and sit down at her usual place beside the center Hearth, with no one questioning her arrival despite it being an emergency meeting of the Twelve Olympians.

"Olympians." Zeus spoke up with a thunderous voice after every other Olympian had taken their seats and looked at him in expectation "I am sure that you know why I have summoned you here tonight. We are all here to discuss the wave of energy and the feeling that you have felt just a moment ago."

"What was it father?" Athena, the Goddess of war and wisdom asked in a curious tone "In all my immortal life I have never felt something like that. I have already tried to look for it in the ancient records..."

"Please Athena, we don't need you to rant about your library and your books right now." Ares interrupted with a tone full of boredom and a dismissive wave of his hand.

"You have a death wish, Ares?" The goddess of war asked while glaring at her half brother dangerously.

"Heh, you wanna fight?"

"Enough, both of you!" Zeus warned them firmly, causing the two deities of war to look away from each other “Now is not the time for your usual bickering. We have a more important matter to care for.”

“Listen carefully, what you felt just a moment ago was the alerting energy that Chaos himself has created at the point of human’s creation, let there ever be a human that has transcended the boundaries between mortals and gods, and fighting on equal ground with a Primordial being."

Almost every jaw in the room was dropped down to the ground in shock.

"You can’t be serious, father." Athena broke the silence, picking up her jaw from the ground to utter the only logical statement that she could manage in her mind to speak to her father.

No mere mortal could fight against a god, let alone a Primordial being which could be even stronger than gods themselves.

"My words are the truth...I swear it on the Styx."

Thunders rumbled outside and, even though most of them didn't admit it, they had hoped that Zeus would be punished for telling a lie, no matter his position at the King of the Gods. It did, however, confirm that he was telling the truth, that somewhere out there, a human had become as strong as a Primordial being.

"For a mortal to wield such power… they can become a dangerous threat to us if we don't do something about it.” Hades said seriously while looking around the Throne room.

“And there is also the problem of the being that they are fighting.” Poseidon pointed out, receiving a nod of the heads from both of his brothers. “We always keep a close eye on our oldest ancestors, so we know that it couldn’t be any of them that are fighting this mortal. Whoever it is, they must have the powers that rivaled one, and is considered a primordial being by nature itself.”

“Which makes them even more dangerous to us than this mortal.” Zeus said, before summoning Iris, the Goddess of rainbow, who appeared before them looking as confused as the younger Olympians had been. “Take this, Iris.”

With that said, Zeus summoned with his master bolt a brilliant crystal, which he then handed to Iris before telling her “It will allow you to show us with your powers the mortal and this primordial being, if they are still fighting. Make sure that it’s one way only. We need to see who they are without alerting them of our presences.”

“Yes, your majesty.” Iris replied before activating her powers with the crystal in hand. A rainbow soon appeared in the center of the Throne Room, showing them the images of a shadowy figure that soon became clear.

"No." They all heard Hera gasping in shock, even Zeus couldn’t hold his master bolt in his hand firmly anymore and rose from his throne in shock.

"It can't be..." Zeus muttered.

The person within Iris' rainbow soon revealed themselves to be a woman with extremely long, sweeping white hair that hovered like a cloak behind her back. The most noticeable features about her, however, were the two horn-like protrusions that stuck out from her head.

The woman had abnormal white eyes, and a third eye on the center of her forehead that's eyelids parted vertically. For clothing, she wore a transitional high-collared hime-kimono, which was adorned with intricate lines that were gold and purple and tomoe running down the center and edges of the gown.

"Kaguya Otsutsuki." Poseidon muttered in absolute horror, with Hades, Demeter and Hestia sharing a similar expression.

"Father, who is she?" Athena asked with a worrying tone, she had never seen the look of shock and horror on her father, his wife and those of the other older Gods and Goddesses' like that.

"Kaguya Otsutsuki, a otherworldly woman who attained Primordial-leveled powers by eating the fruit of the World Tree, becoming as strong, if not stronger than even some of our ancestors." Poseidon informed them, making every other Olympians widened their eyes in shock. “But since she wasn’t born a deity, her mortal mind cannot comprehend such power, and she had grown despotic. More or less, you can say that she became mad with power"

"But father, how come we have never heard of her?" Athena couldn’t help but ask "Surely someone with that much power will..."

"Because, fortunately for us, she is not from this dimension." Hades answered.

All questions then disappeared from the Olympians' mind when suddenly a flash of light appeared next to Kaguya. With energy like claws formed around their hands, the person then used it to cut away one of the Goddess of Rabbit's arms before disappearing again in a flash of orange light, so fast that even Hermes couldn't keep up with him.

“This must be that mortal who has ascended beyond the boundary between mortals and gods.” Poseidon said, with a hint of admiration in his tone.

"Is that..." Hera raised an eyebrow in confusion before looking at her husband, who nodded his head in confirmation before saying.

"Hirashin." the lighting god muttered, but only his wife could hear him.

It was Hirashin or something similar to it. Being the one who had perfected the technique, Zeus could recognize it anywhere.

The person then reappeared behind Kaguya and delivered a roundhouse kick to her back, sending her flying before pulling out two black sticks from the black orbs leviating behind his back, throwing it toward the limp arm of Kaguya on the ground, stabbing through it like he was doing it to keep that arm immobile.

They finally got a glimpse of the mortal who was fighting Kaguya head on, which made Zeus and Hera widen their eyes in utter shock.

The person bore a striking resemblance to Zeus' human disguise with spiky blonde hair. His eyes, however, were orange instead of brilliant blue, with his pupils greatly resembling a cross.
However, Hera could see that his face had the same shape to that of Kushina Uzumaki.

He was wearing what looked like a yellow, energy coat with a black bodysuit underneath. The bodysuit covered his torso, reaching down his arms to his knuckles, and down his legs to the point just above his sandals. He also had a pattern of six magatama around his collar.

"Sasuke, out of the way." It seemed that he wasn't the only one who was fighting her, as there was another boy who had his entire body in a thick, purple like energy in the shape of a gigantic warrior samurai with wings.

"Quick Naruto!" The black haired boy, Sasuke shot himself out of the warrior and shouted to the blond, who nodded his head and attacked Kaguya after him.

"Naruto? It can't be…" Hera, who couldn’t stop herself from gasping loudly in shock, shot her hands up and covered her mouth in realization. She had recognized the blonde haired boy long before his friend shouted out his name, which was the only confirmation to her suspicion.

"Yosh! Let's do this guy!" He shouted before in nine puffs of smoke, eight identical clones of himself appeared and stood on thin air, circling around Kaguya with each raising their hands above their heads and creating nine different kind of spinning energy orbs above them, with the same spinning wings of energy that made them look like large shurikens wielded by ninja.

"Wow!" Apollo and Hermes wolf-whistled in amazement at the sight of such techniques, while Ares was crackling in excitement because of the battle that was unfolding before his eye.

"The Rasengan..." Zeus muttered in aew as he sat back down his throne, his eyes never leaving the young man as he and clones prepared to throw the energy shuriken at Kaguya "I can’t believe it. He completed the Rasengan..."

"Senpo: Cho Bijuu Rasenshuriken!" They shouted and threw all nine Rasenshuriken at the Goddess of Rabbit at once, creating a massive explosion that sent her flying. The combined explosion was so powerful that even though they were only watching, the gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus couldn’t help but feel as if it was happening right before them, with some even feeling the intense shockwave and energy generating from it.

"Incredible." Athena said in amazement "So this is the human whose powers matched that of a Primordial being? But powerful as he is right now, are you sure that he’s just a normal human?"

"Well, you can argue that he’s a bit more than just human, even before attaining such power." Poseidon answered with a shrug of his shoulders, watching the fight with interest. "He must be a Shinobi, but I have never seen one this powerful for so long."
"Shinobi?

"Keep your damn voice down, owl-head. This is starting to get good" Ares once again interrupted his sister when another massive warrior formed, this time around a man with silver hair and a mask covering the lower half of his face.

“Kakashi?” Zeus couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

"Zeus...do you think it is him?" Ignoring the silver haired man, Hera turned to her husband and asked him with the most hopeful tone "Do you think he is really our Naruto?"

"I think he is, but I don’t understand why Hiruzen told us he was dead." Zeus said, as lightning crackled dangerously around his Master Bolt "Hiruzen has a lot to explain..."

"That is not the case now Zeus...our son is fighting Kaguya Otsutsuki.” Hera gritted her teeth and reminded him. It was fortunate that every other Olympian was watching the fight so intensely they did not notice the conversation between them "We have to help him."

Before she could stand up, Zeus suddenly put a hand on her shoulder, stopping her.

"I don’t know why but… I think he got this." Zeus said, turning to look at Hera with a look she had not seen since her husband reformed from the death of his human aspect "Plus, remember our oath. Going to Elemental Nations right now will only bring bad luck to Naruto, and that is the last thing he needs at the moment"

Hera bit her bottom lips in frustration, wanting nothing more than to argue with her husband and head straight to Elemental Nations to help Naruto, but deep down, she knew that he was right. Gods’ oath was not something that even they could break so easily. Normally, it would be their children and those who related to them that would have to suffer the consequences, and in a situation like this, bad luck would be the one thing that she did not want to bring to her son.

So without any other choice, Hera chose to sit down to her throne and turned back to Iris’ rainbow to watch the fight worriedly, praying to the Fates that her son and his friends would triumph over Kaguya.

And so, for the next several minutes, the Olympians sat on their thrones of powers and watched as Naruto and his teammates fought Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was slowly pushed back by their combined efforts and powers. Eventually, the four, with Naruto and Sasuke being the two main factors, successfully sealed away Kaguya and the giant rabbit monster that she had become by a sealing technique that gathered rocks on the ground to lock her inside an enormous, planet-sized orb of earth, which then flew slowly to the sky and looks just like a small version of the moon.

“Interesting technique.” Artemis, the Goddess of the moon herself, said after seeing the similarity in the new moon Naruto and Sasuke had created to imprison Kaguya and the Moon that mortals of their world interpreted her chariot, which was the moon itself.
"They did it. They defeated Kaguya!” Poseidon uttered in shock, awe and admiration.

"Son..." Zeus muttered proudly while fixing his gaze on his son, never before had he felt this proud in his immortal life.

Then everyone saw Naruto turning back to normal, revealing his normal features as well as his brilliant azure blue eyes just like Zeus'.

“Uhm… besides the fact that he’s kinda hot… Am I the only one who thinks that his eyes look a bit… familiar?” Aphrodite asked slowly while glancing toward Zeus, who chose to ignore her and everyone else as he kept his eyes on his son, who walked toward the severed arm of Kaguya, making the Olympians finally notice a strange, blob-like shadow with a face and sharp teeth hiding inside the sleeve.

"Urg... what the hell is that?" Aphrodite couldn't help but ask in disgust at the sight of such creature.

"By the way, you didn't want to leave your mom right?" Naruto then asked with a slight smirk down toward the dark being inside the sleeve.

"Y...You..." It muttered in shock.

"You have been hiding in the shadows all this time, but I noticed you..." He reached his hand down out and grabbed the arm, picking it up.

"You're just a part of the Shinobi's history I created so far… you are just a brat, you can't..."

Naruto's eyes hardened before saying firmly

"The Shinobi's history was made by the lives of many ninja and their deaths." With that said, Naruto then threw it toward the moon along with the arm of Kaguya, a firm look on his face as he shouted after them "A brat who can't even leave his mother's side… won't ever understand a thing about it!"

"Indeed." Athena nodded her head in approval before snapping her head to look at her father "Shinobi? Ninja? Father, you have a lot to explain"

Zeus looked at his daughter for a moment before sighing longingly and nodding his head to Iris, who made her rainbow disappear before handing the king back his magic crystal and leaving the throne room, allowing the twelve Olympians and Hestia to stay behind and discuss what just happened among themselves.

To say that they were all shocked would be an understatement.

Break

"Hera, wait. Just think about it for a second here."

Zeus called as he followed his wife into the palace they shared together. The Queen of the Gods was in a hurry as she headed into her room and grabbed whatever that she could bring with her, including her peacock cloak and staff, the symbol of her powers.
"Don’t you dare think you can stop me now, Zeus. I am heading there." Hera replied to her husband with a firm tone.

"I know that you are worried for Naruto, believe me, I do as well, but we just can't stomp into his world and say we're his parents just like that." Zeus frowned "We have an oath to uphold, Hera."

"You know how ridiculous it sounds when you are the one who said that?" Hera asked sarcastically, making Zeus roll his eyes at her "And I don't care. I am heading there and am gonna bring Naruto back with me."

“Then what? You wait for the Styx to finish punishing our son?” Zeus asked in a serious tone “Calm down and think about it for a moment here, Kushina. We swore to Styx that we would never return to Elemental Nations, so the moment that we put our foot back on its earth, Styx would turn her attention to Naruto. He might be powerful now, him defeating Kaguya is the clear proof of that, but there are punishments that even one as powerful as a primordial being cannot avoid. Do you want to make his life even more difficult than it already is? You know better than I do what the life of a Jinchuriki is. Do you want our son to suffer even more because of the decision that we made, and will make?"

"But..." Hera tried to argue, but once again, she knew that her husband was right. It was rare for him to win an argument of theirs so easily like that. "Then what are we going to do now? I can't just leave him there. It has been seventeen years already…"

"I think our best course of action now is to send one of the Olympians to come and get him. Maybe two, just to be sure. They are not bound by the oath like we do, so they can travel to Elemental Nations with no consequences." Zeus told his wife, making Hera nod her head in understanding.

"They better bring him back to us unscratched." Hera's eyes then turned cold "What about Hiruzen? And Tsunade as well as Jiraiya? They lied to us, Zeus. It was Hiruzen who told us that our son was dead, and even faked the scene in his mind. I don’t know how he did it, but I want an answer.”

“I do as well, Hera.” Zeus replied to his wife with a nod of his head.

End of Chapter 1

Chapter Text

"Why are we here again?"

Artemis, the Goddess of the Moon and Hunt asked while looking around the Hall of the Greek gods, patiently waiting for someone to give the answer to her question. Anyone who looked at Artemis could see that the goddess of the hunt did not want to be there, and no one could blame her since none of them wanted to be summoned at this time of the year either, with the only exception being maybe Athena, who was sitting on her throne burying her face in a book in a manner not unlike a hard reader in a library.

Around the throne room, every other Olympian was minding their own business. Ares was yawning in boredom as he sat on his throne in the most ungodly manner. At the same time, Aphrodite was, just as Artemis had expected, caring only for herself, double checking and even triple checking her own looks in a handheld mirror, trying to perfect her already so called perfect look.

At the very least, Artemis appreciated the fact that the goddess of love was not trying to bother her again, something that she had been doing a lot recently much to her annoyance.

Hephaestus, meanwhile, was tickling with the machines on his lap, trying to put together or invent a new mechanical item that Artemis did not recognize. Dionysus, meanwhile, was reading a wine magazine while drinking from a can of coke, looking quite miserable and more drunk than he normally had been before the punishment their father had put on him.

Demeter was ranting again about how good cereals were again to their health even if they were gods to anyone who was bothering enough to listen to her, which in this case was none other than the goddess of the hearth, Hestia, everyone's most favorite auntie.

Her childish brother was, just as Artemis had expected, engaging his brother in arm in more things than just blood and best friend Hermes about the women that they met in their immortal life, which disgusted her to no end.

Poseidon, on the other hand, was sitting by himself and twirling his trident around in his hand, probably thinking about the Atlantic and his people.

Surprisingly enough, Hades had also been summoned to the meeting, and the god of the Underworld was currently sitting on his throne-like chair, looking quite laid back with his hands behind his head. She had no reason to not like her uncle, but his presence on Olympus outside of winter solstice meeting had always meant that something big was going on and they needed every god of the Olympian council to present.

"Yo, Arty…"

"Do not call me that, brother."

Apollo's face instantly lost its color when a knife flew past his head, missing his cheek by only an inch and stabbing into the backrest of his throne.

"Artemis, please try not to murder your brother here." Poseidon spoke with an amused chuckle. It was him who had changed the trajectory of the knife in the air and saved Apollo the trouble of having to use his own power on himself.

"I will keep your suggestion in mind, uncle, but no promise." Artemis said with a smile to the king of the sea, as she retrieved her knife with a wave of her hand. "And how can I help you, brother?"

"Do you know why we are all here?"

"Didn't I just ask the same question?" Artemis responded with her own question, but Apollo simply shrugged his shoulders at her in response "I am also in the dark just like you, brother."

Artemis answered, thinking about her huntress. She had no doubt that her lieutenant Zoe would keep everything in order for her while she was gone, but she was worried that monsters might attack them where they were camping while she was away.

The monsters had been a whole lot more active recently, and it was in their duty to find out the reason.

Artemis opened her mouth to speak, but her father beat her to it as he arrived in the throne room as dramatically as ever in a bolt of lightning.

Standing beside him was none other than his wife, the queen of the Greek gods who had a strange look of worries on her face. The beauty that could even rival Aphrodite herself was totally in ruin. Her hair was a mess and her white dress was messy and taken carelessly.

It was Artemis' first time seeing the queen like that. She respected the queen, but she did not like her either for the mistreatment she and her brother had had to deal with since the moment that Zeus could not keep it in his pants and wooed their mother.

"Wo…. What happened?" Aphrodite could not help but ask, looking away from her mirror for the first time "You're a mess, Hera."

But the normally short tempered goddess chose to not say anything in response, simply ignoring the goddess of love as she walked to her throne and sat down.

"Want me to help you fix your look."

"No."

"Alright then." The goddess of love waved a hand at Hera dismissively, looking as uncared as ever but Artemis could see that Aphrodite was somewhat nervous by the tone that the queen had just spoke to her.

"Go back to your seats, everyone. Let us start this emergency meeting."

Zeus spoke up, tapping his lightning bolt lightly on the floor of the throne room after clearing his throat. He waited until everyone had settled down on their seats, and Ares had woken up to begin.

"Now, let's discuss the most important matter at hand. It's about the boy we saw last night fighting the primordial being Kaguya Otsutsuki, Naruto Uzumaki."

"Fishcake spiral?" Apollo asked, raising an eyebrow in wonder before grinning broadly and nudging Hermes with his right elbow "Heh, sounds like him and I are gonna be good friends."

"What about him?" Ares asked with another yawn.

"Before we begin, Ares. You should know that…"

"He is your little brother." Hera interrupted her husband, speaking up for the first time and made Ares along with the rest of the Olympian council gasp in surprise.

However, it was for a different reason.

"Man, not again" Apollo groaned, throwing his hands in the air in defeat.

"Wow, talk about keeping an oath." Aphrodite giggled playfully in amusement.

"I am not surprised." Hades spoke as he glared at his brother.

"Brother!" Poseidon bellowed as he shot up from his seat and stood facing his youngest brother with power radiating from not just his trident, but also his whole body. "You broke the oath twice. explain yourself"

"Wanna say anything before I send some underworld folks after him… wherever he is, little brother?" Hades asked absently. He was a lot less surprised and angry than he thought he would be.

Maybe he had just already seen it coming.

"He defeated a primordial being… as if those monsters from the underworld are gonna give him trouble." Demeter reasonably pointed out, making Hades shrug his shoulders.

"Won't stop me from trying though. That boy is a threat for not just being a potential child of prophecy, but for the unimagine power that he poses. It is just like you said, sister, he defeated a primordial being. Is it not already worrisome enough?" Hades reminded them all "Whether you like it or not, he cannot be kept alive. We gotta do something about it."

"He's also my son."

"Right, then that make him even more worri… what?" Hades nodded his head in understanding, before widening his eyes in shock at what he had just heard and gasped, looking at Hera as she sat on her throne and tapped her foot on the floor rather impatiently.

"So you are saying… he's fully my brother?" Hephaestus asked, looking at Ares and then back at his mother "Our brother?"

"Yes, he is, Hephaestus." Hera answered with a sigh, before glancing over to Zeus and giving him a meaningful look, as if urging him to be quick.

"Ahem, allow me to tell you a story…"

"Kinda unnecessary dramatic, father."

Ignoring Apollo's remark, Zeus began to tell them all the story; the story of Elemental Nations and how it all began, from the day that Kaguya ate the fruit of the World Tree, originally the Juubi itself, whose power was far more terrifying than anything that they all could ever imagine, and attained otherworldly godhood.

She then gave birth to 2 sons, who defeated their mother for the tyrant that she had become. Hagoromo, the younger son, later became the creator of shinobi and their arts, ninjutsu, which led to the creation of the ninja world and the great nations of shinobi.

He then told them about the many wars between ninjas, starting with the first, then the second and the third, eventually leading to the births of many shinobi villages, by uniting clans of ninja together.

Then he told them about his short but eventful journey there with Hera with the help of the Fates and Hecate, how they had become Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, who both grew up in Konoha and lived their life as shinobi of the villages before marrying each other, giving birth to a son whose name was Naruto.

It was then that he began to tell them what had happened the night that their mortal self died. Even though Zeus had tried his best, the story was still incredibly hard for him to tell, because it was not something he nor his wife wished to ever relive again. He thought he had lost a great son that night, but it turned out that the boy was still alive and grew up to be an amazing young man, and a powerful shinobi.

In the end, no one dared to say a word, not even Ares.

As much as Artemis wished to deny it, she was in shock.

"It would be much easier for me to summon Mnemosyne and have her show you all our memories, but it will take a lot of time to watch." Zeus then said after finishing the story. "But we need to talk about the reason that I have summoned I call you here."

"You wish to bring Naruto Uzumaki here, don't you, father?" Athena asked, having come to the conclusion the moment that she found out who Naruto was. She was also the first member of the Olympian council to collect her composure, as the rest was still trying to process all the information that they had just been given, too shocked to even say a word.

"You are correct, Athena. We swore to the Styx the night our mortal-selves died that we would never return to Elemental Nations, so we need one of you to go there and retrieve Naruto for us."

Zeus spoke to Athena, making the goddess of wisdom nod her head in understanding, having expected as much

"Allow me to go, father" Ares shot up from his seat and volunteered instantly with a bloodthirsty grin "I shall bring little brother Naruto back to Olympus."

"In one piece? I think not." Hermes pointed out while Apollo snorted "And I am not talking about him."

"You think I will lose to him?"

"Duh!?" Apollo and Hermes spoke at the same time, after looking at each other.

"How about you allow me to go?" Artemis was not surprised to see Aphrodite then volunteering herself, raising her hand in the air and speaking in a singsong voice "I am good with people, so why don't you let me bring Naruto here. I am sure that he can use a guide like me."

"I think we can both go also." Apollo said, with Hermes nodding his head in agreement, "Who can bring Naruto back to our world faster than the fastest duo of Olympus?" He asked dramatically, his whole body glowing like the sun, making Artemis cover her eyes with a hand as he got up and high fived Hermes.

"While I am very glad that there are so many volunteers," Zeus said, while Hera could shake her head while looking around the throne room in slight disappointment and annoyance. It appeared that no one wanted to bring Naruto to Olympus because it was his rightful home, and it was something she had fully expected before going to the meeting. "But last night, Hera and I had decided the most suitable choices for this mission."

"Athena and Artemis, please come forward"

"uh… what?!" Was all Artemis could utter in surprise when her father called for her name.

"Fair enough." The goddess of wisdom, on the other hand, nodded her head, closing the book on her lap and stood up from her seat, having fully expected her father to choose her and her sister.

She had nothing against it, and not to mention that it would be a great opportunity for her to see Elemental Nations with her own eyes.

"Father… may I know why you have chosen me for the job?" Artemis decided to ask while looking at her father.

"Artemis, you are my best tracker. Elemental Nations is a massive world. It's far larger than ours. Hera and I can teleport you to Konoha, but we need you to help your sister track down Naruto and bring him back as soon as possible, just in case he's not in the village and has gone off on a mission somewhere else. He's a shinobi."

"My decision is final, Artemis." Zeus spoke up before Artemis could open her mouth to speak anything again, making her blow a strand of her auburn hair away from her face in annoyance. "if you're worried about your hunters, send them to Camp Half Blood and have them stay there for the time being. Make haste, you two."

"If there is nothing more to talk about, then this council is dismissed." With that announcement from the king, most of the Olympians got up from their seats, with Hades and Poseidon bidding a quick apology for their youngest brother for flipping out at him earlier before teleporting away.

A few, however, continued to remain.

"I will go make the preparation. I will meet with you later, sister." Athena spoke to Artemis before flashing away herself, leaving Artemis to be the only one left in the throne room besides Zeus and Hera.

Strapping her hunting knife into its holster, the goddess of the hunt then stood up and walked toward her father, but to her surprise she was stopped by none other than Hera, who grabbed her hands and spoke to her with a pleading look in her eyes.

"Artemis, please bring Naruto back to me as soon as you can." Hera spoke, making Artemis widen her eyes. "I know after everything I have done to you, your brother, and your mother, I do not deserve to ask you anything… but please, please bring my son back to Olympus."

Artemis became puzzled. On one hand, she wanted to ignore the queen and walk to her father to reason to him that there were obviously better choices for the mission he had given her and Athena, but on the other, she wanted nothing more than to help this woman, realizing that under all that bitterness that she always took out on those around her, she was still a mother; a mother who loved her son, her children dearly…

She knew how special Naruto could be to her. She was no goddess of love like Aphrodite, something that she was thankful for, but she knew that Naruto was not just her son; he was the proof of her love for Zeus, the husband who had cheated on her so many times just because that he could.

"Alright, Hera." Artemis spoke finally after making up her mind, squeezing her hands around the queen's as she looked straight into her eyes "I promise to bring your son back to you."

Break

With a sad look on his face, Naruto put on his black attire, standing in front of the mirror in his room.

A week had passed since the end of The Fourth Great Shinobi War, yet, villagers and shinobi all around the world were still burying their beloved fallen comrades, friends, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons… in grief.

Thousands of shinobi had lost their lives in the war.

Some Naruto knew, but many others… he hated himself for not at least knowing their names…

Everyone would be there for the funerals, even Sasuke...

Standing beside his friends and comrades, Naruto remained silent as he looked at the new names that had been carved on the stone. He did not know what to say, and could only stand there with a bunch of flowers in hands, each flower was for each Shinobi of Konoha who had fallen down on the battlefield.

But after the rain, the sun would once again rise…

A new day had started.

A new beginning.

"What! What do you mean I cannot become the hokage just yet?" Naruto asked in surprise with a dramatic look on his face, one hand holding his head. The other one would have been used to do the same thing, but it was no longer there, having been blown up during the final clash in his battle against Sasuke.

"Keep your damn voice down, brat! It is still way too early in the morning for you to shout." Tsunade scoffed in annoyance as she glared at Naruto, while her assistant Shizune could only laugh softly in nervousness while standing behind her and watching the argument between the fifth and Naruto "And my decision is final. Kakashi Hatake will be the Rokudaime Hokage of Konoha! You can work to earn your seat next time."

"Ehh? But why not me?" He groaned, standing next to him was Kakashi, who was giving Naruto his trademark eyes smile while holding his shoulder comfortingly "I thought after the war…"

"Yes, you are the hero of the shinobi world now, Naruto. Many people will think that you deserve to become Hokage more than anyone in this village."

Tsunade spoke as she got up and walked around the table to reach her godson.

"But you're still way too young for the seat and the hat, to handle the tremendous responsibility of it. I am giving you time to be ready for it, Naruto, not just physically but mentally as well."

Saying that, Tsunade then pulled out a bottle of sake from under her jacket, shocking Shizune as she was sure that she had thrown them all away "Now, let's just go to have a drink to celebrate the day I finally escape from this job."

With that said, Tsunade wrapped her free arm around Naruto's neck and pulled him out of the room using her ridiculous strength, with Kakashi and Shizune following closely behind them.

The whole way, Naruto tried to reason with the blonde woman, but the moment that they arrived at the street of Konoha, the cheer of the villagers caused Naruto to stop, leaving him standing there in surprise.

"Well, you might not be the Hokage yet, Naruto." Kakashi said as he walked over to his student and spoke to him warmly "But isn't this almost all but only thing that you have ever wanted?"

Naruto could only nod his head slowly in response as he looked around, finding himself experiencing the same feeling he had had after Kakashi brought him back to Konoha after he had defeated Pain and confronted Nagato.

Once again, they had called him their hero.

break

"You are drinking too little, brat. Here! Drink some more!" Tsunade spoke excitedly as she tried to make Naruto drink another bottle of sake, giving him no choice but to try to push it away.

It was three in the afternoon and he had already been forced to drink his seventh bottle.

At the same time, they weren't the only ones currently celebrating in the restaurant. All of his friends were there with them, including even Sasuke himself who had just been released from prison after much efforts from Tsunade and Naruto to convince everyone that he was no longer a threat.

Regardless, because they had shown up, Tsunade had invited them to join the celebration with her. Chouji was screaming at Lee for eating his last piece of barbeque, but instantly lightened up when Ino, who knew her teammate far too well, brought a brand new dish of barbeque to him.

"Can I sit here?" Naruto asked, after managing to shrug off Tsunade and leave the table to walk over to his so called best friend, who was sitting all by himself at his own table

"Sure." The last Uchiha answered simply.

"How is your arm?" Naruto then asked after sitting down.

"The same as yours." Once again, Sasuke gave Naruto a short answer.

"Baa-chan told me she was making prosthetic hands for us from the cells of the first hokage." Naruto informed him. "She is still working on it, but we will have both of our arms back soon."

"I don't think I'm going to stay in this village till then." Sasuke said; surprised Naruto.

"Hey, don't tell me you're thinking about becoming a missing nin again" He said, looking at Sakura who he knew had been sneaking glances at Sasuke for the past few minutes "There are people who won't accept it if you are just gonna leave again, you know."

"I need to find my own path, Naruto? Not to mention it will be better for us all. I don't hang out around the village often." Sasuke answered before he decided to ask "What about you? what are you going to do now?"

At that, both young men turned their head to the Hokage Monument, where a new face was being carved onto it

"I am going to train and study harder. My dream is to become the Hokage, and that hasn't changed." Naruto said with a determined expression on his face.

"I see." Pouring some sake into an empty cup, Sasuke then pushed it toward his blonde haired friend before picking up his own cup and holding it out toward him "So, for the Nanaidaime Hokage."

"Yeah, for me." Naruto grinned.

[At the same time- Training ground 44, the Forest of Death]

A bolt of lightning then shot down from the sky and struck an empty spoke between trees.

From there, three women emerged, the first being none other than the virgin goddess of the hunt and moon herself, Artemis, dressed in a white shirt, silver jackets and black jeans to go with black combat boots. On her back was a quiver filled with silver arrows emitting a moonlight glow, while in her hand was a beautiful silver bow that was radiating a tremendous amount of raw power.

"Is this the place?" Artemis asked, looking at her older sister who was looking around in wonder. Standing beside them both was a girl who was dressed in almost the same outfit as Artemis did, with the only exception being the camo pants. She was also a tall, graceful and gorgeously beautiful young woman with dark brown eyes, a slightly upturned nose and copper-colored skin.

"I think we are." Athena finally answered, nodding her head to her sister.

"What nature!" Zoe, the lieutenant of the Hunt of Artemis, spoke in amazement while looking around "This forest… it's breathtaking."

Artemis could only nod her head to her lieutenant and best friend in agreement while looking around the place herself. Being the goddess of wildlife, she had a powerful connection to the nature around her, and she could feel a very powerful natural energy within the forest, reminding her of Earth before mortals invented machines and started cutting down trees for their own profits.

"Sister, are we close to Konoha?"

"I believe we are actually inside Konoha. This must be the forest training ground that father mentioned."

Athena spoke as she walked around ahead of both Artemis and her hunter and brought out from her back pocket a map of Konoha, which her father had given to her before teleporting them to the place.

"It seems we need to go this way to get to the village. From there, we can look for father and lady Hera's old home, where Naruto Uzumaki lives."

"Very well." Artemis said, and together, the three of them headed out of the Forest of Death, with Athena having no trouble keeping up with two incredibly agile hunters who had spent thousands of years fighting in the wild, being the goddess of war herself.

During their journey, they had an unpleasant encounter with a giant centipede but it was quickly shot down by Artemis and Zoe before it could do anything.

On the other hand, they also had many pleasant meetings with the animals of the forest, which all had incredible sizes. Artemis, the goddess of wildlife, did not have much trouble befriending them and asking them for directions, which they were more than willing to provide after finding out who she was.

When the village came into view, Athena stopped them and spoke up.

"From here, we should be a bit careful. I know that you two are more than capable of taking care of yourselves, but we must try to stay away from troubles as much as possible, especially unwanted encounters with the shinobi. Some of them can do feats that even the strongest demigods could not hope to compare."

"Let's keep to the shadows then." With that said, Artemis, Zoe and Athena entered the village, using alleys and corners to hide from attention while traversing the street of Konoha, skillfully avoiding the eyes of the mortal villagers.

As soon as they stepped into the village, the group of Goddesses and Huntress got a lot of attention from the villagers because it wasn't everyday they got women as beautiful as they are walking in the village.

However, when they were deciding the best way to cross a street to reach Namikaze residence, Zoe and Artemis spoke up at the same time as they felt presence approaching them at rapid pace from above.

"We got companies!"

They all spun around, and saw a ninja wearing a bird mask appearing in front of them, with two more accompanying him from behind. With the exceptions of the masks, they all wore a type of uniform, which consisted of black clothing, a grey flak jacket, metal arm guards and gloves, ninja sandals with spike, three ninja pouches on their back-waist, a signature spiral tattoo on their shoulder and sword on their back.

"Who are you and what is your intention?" The bird mask shinobi, an anbu, asked in a dead serious tone.

"Let me handle this." Athena stepped forward and spoke calmly, holding up both of her hands. "Greetings. My name is Athena. My name is Athena and this is Artemis and Zoe Nightshade. We're friends of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, your Yondaime Hokage and his wife."

The Anbu Captain's eyes widened behind his mask at the introduction, but visibly he made no bodily reaction to show them what he was feeling. At the same time, he could tell that the woman was not lying.

"Our superiors will decide if you're speaking the truth or not" Calmly, he replied to them "If you do not mind, please follow us peacefully. We will escort you to the ones in charge."

"Very well then." Athena turned to the two eternal maidens and translated everything she had just said to them, having been speaking to them in their languages, which he had been learning "He wants us to come with him."

Artemis nodded her head in understanding and removed her quiver from her back, making Zoe do the same, the both of them understanding very well that they would have to give their weapons to secure some trust from the other party. It was standard procedure anywhere and not just their world; not to mention that they could retrieve their gears any time with just a snap of their fingers.

But before she could give her weapons to Athena so that her sister could hand them to the shinobi, a glint of yellow caught her attention, causing Artemis to snap her head up and look at the house on her right. Time seemed to slow down around Artemis as she focused her sight on that yellow blur, having no trouble keeping up with it and fully seeing it as Naruto Uzumaki, who was jumping from rooftop to rooftop at the speed and grace that surpassed even some of her best huntresses.

"Artemis wait!"

Athena called when suddenly the goddess of the hunt turned around and leaped into the air, launching herself so high up the anbu was left gasping in surprise. Transforming into an eagle, Artemis then flew forward until she was ahead of Naruto and transformed to drop down right in front of him, causing the blond to gasp in surprise and stop himself, tripping on his feet and falling down on his ass before incredibly beautiful auburn haired woman that suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Found you, Naruto Uzumaki." Artemis said.

"Wha… who are you?!" was the only logical question that Naruto could ask in response as he gazed up at Aetemis.

"Artemis? Oh no…" Kurama thought inside of Naruto's mindscape, knowing well who this woman was from Naruto's mother.

"Oh right, I cannot understand what you are saying." Artemis said, hitting herself mentally for not giving enough effort in learning his language before leaving.

"Uh, sorry, but I cannot understand what you are saying." Naruto spoke to her while silently reaching behind his back to pull out a kunai at the ready. Anyone who could suddenly appear out of nowhere in such a manner could be quite dangerous.

"Uh… Naruto, I sagely advise you to keep your weapon holstered in front of this woman… and try not to piss her off, okay?"

"Huh? Why? You know her Kurama?" Naruto could not help but ask his bijuu companion, looking at the gigantic nine tails fox in his mindscape.

"Her name is Artemis. I can reassure you that she's friendly and quite reasonable to talk to so long as you do not rub her the wrong way, as she has some problems with the opposite gender."

"What does that even mean?"

"She doesn't trust men."

"Ah, why didn't you just say so?" Naruto scoffed in amusement at Kurama, making the fully merged nine tailed fox roll his eyes at him before turning his attention back to the auburn haired woman standing before him. Standing up, Naruto pointed a finger at her, making her look at him disapprovingly, before saying "Artemis?"

"How do you…"

Before the goddess of the hunt could finish asking how he would know her name, even though Hera had told her and Athena that he did not have any knowledge about them, Naruto pointed at himself

"Naruto" Naruto pointed to himself "Naruto Uzumaki."

"I know who you are, boy. Tch… where is Apollo when you need him." Artemis clicked her tongue in annoyance, making Naruto mistake it for a gesture that was directed at him and step back in caution.

Before either of them could say anything, they heard voices.

"Artemis!"

"Hold it right there!"

Instantly, Artemis spun around and notched an arrow, holding her bow up and aiming it at the anbu who had shot down behind her, aiming at his forehead.

"Do not, sneak up behind me, boy." Artemis warned in a firm tone, pulling the string of her bow back and making it glow with her divine power.

Before she could say anything, a whole group of Anbu then appeared around her and Naruto, looking alarmingly at the auburn haired woman who did not look worry as she glanced around before seeing Athena coming toward her with Zoe, the two of them being chased by a team of shinobi, using Aegis to knock away the throwing weapons that were thrown at them as warnings.

"Woah woah woah, easy there, you guys!"

Naruto called out as he stepped forward, pushing Artemis back with his hand just as Athena and Zoe arrived at Artemis' side, with the lieutenant huntress immediately backing her mistress up with her own bow and arrows.

"Everyone, calm down!"

"Naruto-san, these women, they…"

"Naruto Uzumaki, we are friends with your parents." Before the Anbu leader could inform Naruto of the situation, Athena spoke hurriedly to the blond in his language, making him widen his eyes in surprise and immediately turn his head to look at her.

At the same time, still with Artemis aiming her arrow at his forehead, the Anbu leader held up his hand and made a signal for his squad to lower their weapons, but at the same time keeping their guard up.

"You know my parents?"

He asked. It's not strange for people to claim to know his parents, now that the truth about him being the son of the fourth hokage and his wife, Kushina Uzumaki, one of the former last surviving member of the Uzumaki clan had gotten out, but he could not help but feel that there were more to her claim that meet the eyes.

"What do you mean when you say you know my parents? Who are you?" The blond continued to ask. Before answering his question, Athena looked firmly at Artemis, who narrowed her eyes at the Anbu around her before lowering her weapon along with Zoe, causing her bow to stop glowing.

"My name is Athena. Naruto, we are here to bring you back to your parents. The truth is that they are still alive." Athena answered him, shocking everyone standing in the area "And Artemis and I… we are your sisters."

End of Chapter 2
