Chapter 5: Confession
Percy wasn't having the best night, having been sent on a mission with barely any information, having recently arrived at camp in his third year. The only thing he had to help himself was to find 2 demigod brothers in a private boarding school.
And although everything had turned out relatively well, it went to hell when a manticore kidnapped both demigods, and he launched himself without thinking. If he accepts that it was not his best moment, he did not notify any of his team and went alone to face the monster.
Needless to say, he almost lost his life because of it, the only thing that saved him was the timely intervention of his friends, and so we find ourselves in this situation, where the team made up of Thalia daughter of Zeus, Annabeth daughter of Athena, Grover a satyr and his best friend, and himself a son of Poseidon defending 2 demigod children from a manticore.
They were tense, preparing for the confrontation that at this moment was inevitable. I never expected to hear a trumpet sound from the forest and see the frightened monster.
- No, no, no, this can't be happening - the manticore seemed scared and was about to flee, if it weren't for a young girl appearing in front of him, which surprised Percy, because he didn't realize when he got there, what he did see was how the manticore attacked the girl of an age close to theirs with its tail, only for her tail to be cut off and four swords stuck in her legs by 4 other girls and then they were all surrounded by a group of 30 girls.
Had he already said that this had not been his night? Because it wasn't by any means, he was barely able to summon riptide, he was looking at the ground and had a knife in his jugular, ready to kill him at the slightest movement, but while he was in this situation he could hear the monster's words.
- You're not supposed to intervene in a goddess quest -
- But I am not on a monster search, I heard about a manticore in these parts I wanted to hunt it, something that falls into my domain -
- IT'S NOT FAIR! -
- Life is not fair, but I want you to confirm something. Who do you work for? -
The monster only smiled - If I were you, I would worry more about the lives of your hunters - I would speak with venom and hatred directed towards the goddess. While on the left side of the cliff a helicopter appears with armed men who began shooting left and right, only to be cut in half and begin a chaotic and unstoppable descent, just like the monster's hopes.
- Just because I feel generous today, I will ask again: Who do you work for? - The manticore frowned to try to spit at the goddess, an idea that he never carried out due to being stabbed in the middle of the head by a knife - I just needed you to respond, but it seems that proud beasts like you only live to commit stupid things - the indifferent tone of the goddess made it clear how little she cared about murdering the monster.
Once his mother got up, the huntress did the same, leaving Percy free, with him reuniting with his friends.
- They kicked your ass -
- Thalia just caught me off guard -
- Aha, and I am the daughter of Aphrodite - Percy only gave a dirty look at the daughter of Zeus, who continued with her mocking smile, but both demigods stopped their fight when they heard a cough. Upon noticing where it came from, they saw a young girl of 12 or 14 years old, with red hair and silver eyes. Behind her were other girls who were between 9 and 15 years old.
Percy, acting more on instinct, held his pen/sword without activating it, but prepared for any eventuality, something that was noticed by all the hunters, some acted with indifference, while others looked at it with understanding, in the divine world you can never trust anyone and you had to be prepared for battle.
- Demigods, I ask you to please relax, I assure you that my hunters will not attack you if you do not attack first - it was a relaxed tone with which the girl spoke, trying to convey confidence.
- Not to offend you, but I don't know who you are, where you come from, and why you helped us -
- Percy -
- What if Annabeth? -
- Calm down, I know who we are facing -
- I would like to have that information before I relax from everything Annabeth -
Athena's daughter nodded and proceeded to explain that they were in front of Artemis, the goddess of the moon and her huntresses, which surprised Percy, because of how young she looked, but she reminded him that she was a goddess, and because of that she did not have a defined shape as such, and that she could even look like a 6-year-old girl, but that did not take away from the fact that she was a very dangerous goddess.
Percy reluctantly agreed that he could relax, after calming down, Artemis sent her hunters to set up camp, and was kind enough to give them 3 tents, even though they had to help set up camp, which really didn't bother him and Artemis was someone he liked, because despite everything, she was a good person.
After that he offered them dinner, which was rabbit stew, he had never eaten it, but he had to accept that it was good, despite that Grover preferred to eat some cans that he had brought, while that was happening Artemis called Bianca and him to his personal tent, where he offered Bianca to belong to the hunters, even though he wanted to protest and say that she should go to the camp, he did not want to disrespect the goddess, who despite not knowing him, had treated him with cordiality and respect, so returning the same was the least I could do.
Although it was not necessary, despite the offer, Artemis was clear about the consequences that joining the huntresses would have, such as having to abandon her brother and perhaps only being able to see him again, until her deathbed, and even that was not certain.
Bianca, like every girl her age, was excited at first, believing that this would perhaps free her a little from the responsibility of her brother, but when she learned the cost she became discouraged, because despite everything, Nico was still her brother, the only relative she had left after her mother's death.
She asked Artemis for time so she could properly think through the offer and give her an answer, which the goddess gladly agreed to, telling her that she could take the entire week to think, but also instructing her not to just stick with her own vision and seek guidance from other people.
Bianca was grateful for the time he offered her to think about his offer, plus the advice he gave her, and then retired next to Percy who was looking at the starry sky, seriously thinking about what had happened tonight, which in a way reminds her of the time she spoke with that blonde man.
He remembers it like it was yesterday, it was on one of the trips he had with his mother to Montauk, he had stayed up late at night watching the ocean, feeling a little nostalgic when he saw it, before he didn't understand it, but after finding out that he was the son of Poseidon it made sense.
But he was getting off topic, that night he had seen a blonde man walking around the beach at a slow and relaxed pace, but he noticed his presence because of the bonfire, the man approached him and sat in front of the bonfire, on the other side of him.
He couldn't deny the fact that he felt a little intimidated back then, he was a grown man, maybe six feet tall, and he just stared at the campfire as he seemed to take heat from it.
The man had remained silent watching the campfire while he relaxed, he did not know what to say or what to do in this situation, because of that he was tense in front of the man, who only gave him a second glance and had given him advice that at the time he did not give due importance, but he was grateful for having received it anyway.
_ FLASH BACK _
A young Percy could be seen sitting awkwardly in front of a blonde, blue eyed man who was just enjoying the heat. When he was about to ask who the man was, he himself asked his question first.
- Why so tense child? - That question made Percy tense even more, realizing that the man was aware of his state - You should learn to relax, boy -
Despite everything, he grumbled against the man - But I don't know you and I don't know who you are -
- I don't know who you are either and I'm not tense -
- But you are an adult and I am a child, it is not the same -
- Why isn't it the same? -
- Because you can hurt me -
- Can't you hurt me too? - That made Percy look confused at the man, making him smile - Look boy, just like I can hurt you, you could hurt me -
- How? -
- Tell me something kid, do you know me? - Percy just denied - well, I don't know you either, that means we have no history of each other -
- Atecedet-
- Antecedent, that is, knowing our past actions, I don't know if you, for example, are part of a gang that seeks to harm people -
- I would never do that, I am a good child, my mom always tells me that -
-How do I know that's true? -
- Because you have my word -
- Is that worth anything to me? -
- Huh? -
- I say again child, we have no history of each other, you don't know me and I don't know you, that leads us to a stalemate, where neither can trust the word of the other -
- So... What can we do? -
- Can we? -
- Aren't you also scared of me? -
The blonde man only stared at him for a few seconds and then laughed, which bothered Percy, but the man stopped when he realized this - I never said I was afraid of you, kid, I just said I didn't know you -
- So why did you go to the bonfire? -
- Because I was cold -
- Just for that? -
- Yes - Percy just stayed silent, he couldn't believe the man's response - Come on kid, tell me what's wrong with you, I see you discouraged -
- Huh? -
- From the shore of the beach I saw how you seemed melancholic about something, what's wrong with you? -
Percy frowned, but he really wanted to vent what he felt, he couldn't do it with his mother, she already cared too much about him to put any more burden on him - I was expelled from my fifth school -
- Oh, was I right with my gang theory? - Percy shook his head euphorically - Learn not to take everything literally kid, it was a joke, tell me then why you were expelled -
- Why do you care? -
- It's not that I particularly care, but from time to time, it's good to vent and talk about what you feel with anyone -
- Even with a stranger? -
- Maybe it depends more on the type of person you are, but that is not the issue, so count, take advantage of the fact that there is someone here willing to listen -
Percy thought for a few seconds about what to do, but in the end, what did he have to lose? - *Sigh* Well, I don't know why, but everywhere I go it seems that I bring problems, in my schools, excursions, places where I live, it seems that misfortune follows me -
- I see -
- That's all?-
- What do you want me to tell you? That everything is going to get better? That magically everything will turn out well?
- No - he just frowned, only to sigh again - I... I was just hoping for some useful advice -
The man in front of him looked at the sky, and seemed to be thinking, meanwhile he imitated him seeing how beautiful the sky was today, with the stars surrounding a full moon, as if he were a mother taking care of her daughters - Boy - Percy directed his gaze to the man - If you want encouraging words for the future I can't do it, but if you want some advice I'm going to tell you the same advice that my mother gave me a long time ago - Percy stared at the man who was looking him in the eyes - This life is not easy for nobody, everyone has their own types of problems and you have 3 ways to face them, run from them until they reach you, fight against them until you faint... or -
- ¿Oh? -
- You adapt to the circumstances and you prevail, boy listen well, this life is not a straight line, it is more like a roller coaster, with high and low moments, you have to learn from the low moments and enjoy the high moments, if you do that and adapt to all the changes that come your way, believe me you will be able to get ahead - with that the man turned his gaze towards the stars, imitating the man he also turned his gaze to the sky, thinking about the advice he had been given.
In the end he smiled and when he looked down to thank him the man had disappeared, it even seemed like he was never there, but despite that, he thanked in a whisper the man who listened to him and advised him.
After that night she never saw him again, but in a way she put his advice into practice, in one way or another, and that advice became more important when she entered the divine world, since instead of running away or facing the problem in a stupid or childish way, she decided to try to adapt. Which has helped him face his problems in a better way, especially on the mental side.
_ FLASH BACK _
Returning to the present Percy heard how his friend Grover called him to sleep, to wake up early tomorrow, without having any problem with that, he went straight to the tent he shared with Gover, to rest from the exhausting night he was having.
… … … … The next morning … … … …
You could see the camp already collected and everyone preparing to go to the camp, it seemed that the hunters were going to be with them for a while, because Artemis was going on a solitary hunt.
The hunters didn't like that, especially with the growing danger of the titans' attack, but they couldn't do anything, they knew that if they accompanied their mother on this mission, they could be used against her. They were strong, much stronger than expected, but they were not invincible.
They were still mortals, who would die from any mortal wound they received and would not be able to heal them, they did not like that, but it was a fact that they could not change and they had to accept it.
Thus we found ourselves in the current situation, where they were directing their gaze towards it, which confused the group of demigods too much, not knowing what they were waiting for, but since everything was silent - *Tsk* That idiot always does the same thing, he is always late around these dates - just as he finished his complaint, everyone saw how the first rays of the sun illuminated the sky - Everyone, look away - paying attention to his words, they turned their gaze, to begin to feel intense heat in the area, so much so that the snow had melted.
- Sister - it was a dramatic cry, which made her look back to the front, to see a blonde man in front of them - you don't call, you never write and you rarely greet me, I thought you would never talk to me again -
- Don't be dramatic Apollo, we've only gone a month without speaking to fulfill our duties - the goddess would speak in a reprimanding tone.
- A month that was infinite for my little sister - I would say it while trying to hug her.
Artemis used her hands to push Apollo away from her, only giving him an annoyed look - Apollo behave, I need a favor from you -
Apollo gave a smile so big that it seemed to split his face, just when he was about to explode and go on a tirade about the fact that his younger sister needed him, he received a blow to the head courtesy of Artemis - Listen very well Apollo, I'm going on a solo hunt and I need you to lead my huntresses towards the camp -
-When you say hunting, is that a way of saying that you are going to see my brother-in-law? -
- Apollo -
- I mean, I completely understand, but you have to learn to hide that very well, little sister. Speaking of which, tell him that I want to spend some time with brothers-in-law again -
- Apollo -
- Yes, we haven't had a "boys' outing" in a century if you know what I mean -
- APOLLO! -
- That? -
- Behave and take my hunters to the camp, and without flirting, because I'm going to find out if you do it, and believe me, you'll regret it -
- But you don't deny the fact that you are going to spend "quality time" with my sister-in-law - when he finished speaking he began to run and dodge arrows launched by Artemis, who was chasing him with only one thing in mind, to kill his brother.
This was seen with amazement and discomfort by the demigods, on the other hand the hunters only had an indifferent look, this scene was more common and repeated than one would believe. After 5 minutes Apollo returned and had an arrow stuck in his right shoulder, and without saying anything, he transformed his solar car into a school bus.
After that everything happened without incident, apart from almost dying because Apollo had the wonderful idea of giving the reins of a flying car to a girl with a fear of heights, after getting off the death bus, and the scene of seeing a child hugging the ground and kissing it as if it were the most beautiful thing in the world, a fact that they themselves would have imitated if it weren't for their pride.
Late at night they were in a game of capture the flag in honor of his visit, truth be told they were indifferent to the camp, and he himself was indifferent to her. They rarely came to visit, in fact since its creation they had only been here about 20 times, and 6 of those times did not count, the first was when the camp was inaugurated, and the other five to leave young demigods whom they had encountered by pure chance. But in those 6 visits they never stayed, they came, did what they had to and left immediately.
This was not the first time that mother went on a solitary hunt, but she normally left them with her father in Japan in the Shinto pantheon. In the end, her father continued to be very close to that pantheon, so it was common to see him in those lands, or where the Buddhist pantheon originated, China, that is if he was not already with her, training them, spending a season with them or simply visiting.
But Chiron also played this "war" game, which for them was even fun to watch. Do the demigods really think they have the ability to defeat them? Where currently the youngest of them has half a century of experience in real combat. They did not want to sound cruel, but it was a fact, normally experience prevailed over raw power, an area where they have their own raw power, not only were they pseudo-immortals under the command of a goddess, they were enlightened ones who were blessed by the Buddha himself, where one of his most precious gifts to them was chakra, the same energy with which their father had become as powerful as a God in his own right.
For them this was a measurement of the current capabilities of the demigods, of which they were a little disappointed, in terms of individual power they could say that it was one of the strongest generations, but they only had that in their favor, they lacked discipline when training, they did not have stable teamwork and they were very dependent on the "leaders", despite the division and lack of real trust in them.
If they had to define them in a single word it would be, glass cannon, they were a generation with burning power, but very weak to defend themselves. So after a devastating victory on their side, they accompanied the campers to dinner and campfire singing. They struck up odd conversations with members of the camp, especially on the female side, it's not that they hated men, but they usually felt intimidated or scared of overstepping them and the consequences.
But there was an event that generated uncertainty and fear in them, Zoe's dream where her Mother was captured, normally that would be considered simply the worry she felt manifested in the dream world, but they were not in a normal world, they were in the divine world and those dreams were more like astral travel, or predictions of a not-too-distant future.
So determined to do their duty, they went to say goodbye to Kiron, because despite everything, he is a former master of several huntresses, who were demigoddesses of minor gods. Unfortunately he forbade them from going out to look for Artemis; And since they are legally campers in this summer session, they had to comply with the camp rules, which almost caused an argument with the master of the demigods.
They usually simply they would invoke to his father and for him to solve the problem, but before leaving, which was not long ago (2 weeks to be exact) he had left them a red talisman, which they could only call when it turned green, because he had to participate in a meeting between 3 pantheons, Shinto, Buddhism and the demonic pantheon of Japan, because the latter had caused a massacre of a species of Yokai called Nekoshou, a rare subspecies among the Nekomatas, a fact that It almost caused a war, and the demons, afraid of being destroyed, entered into "peace" discussions.
So they only had to wait and prepare to leave by force if necessary, what they never expected was that the next morning. The Oracle of the camp, that mummy that had never moved from the basement, had left the big house, to the dining room where everyone was gathered, to give them a prophecy and where they had to go to find their Mother.
Thus, a team consisting of Percy Jackson, Grover Underwood and Thalia Chase was created by Camp Half-Blood.
Instead it was Phoebe, Zoe and Peliope on the huntress's side to find Artemis.
(I'm going to skip the whole book, sorry, but in general terms it was just an easier trip and that's it, no one died and the events hardly changed)
… … … … One book later … … … …
Everything had gone to hell, they were training Atlas the titan of strength, while Zoe was poisoned, and Artemis was holding up the sky.
As the situation was, it was certain that one of them was going to die, especially since Luke's intervention to try to kill Percy o Thalia would be worth it in his eyes.
Zoe was seeing this situation, and she didn't like it in any way, but she didn't have the strength to get up and fight.
She was feeling sleepy... very sleepy... she felt cold, something was wrong... with the little strength she had she could see Luke fall off a cliff, as Percy charged the sky to free Artemis. She wasn't going to survive... but she wasn't going to leave this world without saying what she felt.
So taking what little strength she had left she stood up firm and proud - ATLAAAAAAAAS - It was the loudest scream she could muster, one strong enough to draw the attention of the combatants.
Everyone looked at Zoe with different emotions, shock, concern, and disinterest in her calling.
- What do you want, disgrace - It was not a question, it was a demand, that was how Atlas had always been, he never asked about his daughters, he demanded everything from them, that is why at the time she fell in love so quickly with Heracles, because he had been the first man who had treated her well.
- You call me a disgrace... and it's true... I let myself be fooled like a little girl... but at the moment when I most needed a father, you expelled me from the garden and left me alone... if I am a disgrace, what are you then? Bastard - in general Atlas wouldn't mind so much talk from a corpse, but the fact that in the past Zoe had been his daughter and now she insults him fills him with a rage that burns inside him. How dare this brat insult him in such a way? - And for that reason, since you deny me as your daughter - don't dare or he himself will give you the worst death - I deny you as my father, you are nothing Atlas, for me you are nothing more than the grains of the earth that I step on every day, because my real father is Naruto Uzumaki and my real mother is Artemis, damn disgrace -
That left everyone in silence, they never expected those words from Zoe, but they had to return to the fight when they heard some bones creak and they were those of Artemis when she received a blow from Atlas who was angry, and using all his strength, he threw his spear towards Zoe so that the damned failure that he once called his daughter would pierce it and die.
What they never saw was how Zoe's pedestal turned green, where in what were her last seconds she could only join her hands, to end the battle, while she closed her eyes and accepted her destiny.
Which never arrived, and to the cry of What? She opened her eyes to see how Atlas's spear was centimeters away from killing her, being held by a hand that she would recognize at any moment, so she could only do one thing, lean against her father, so she could rest. Because of that, she never realized how a golden aura covered her and healed all her wounds.
- Rest Zoe, now I'll take over - that voice, deep, powerful, but at the same time tender and paternal for them and their sisters, so she just nodded, and finally let her conscience take her to the kingdom of Morpheus.
- WHO ARE YOU AND HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT THE DEATH OF THAT BASTARD? - Was Atlas' cry full of anger.
Naruto frowned at that phrase - SHUT UP YOU TRASH, SHE IS NOT ANY BASTARD - he shouted at her with the same fury that he possessed.
- WHAT DID YOU CALL ME, YOU DAMN BITCH? -
- Trash, even though you don't deserve it, being less than the same, normally I am someone calm, even pacifist, but today I am going to give you a commemoration Atlas, being the first existence since I arrived in this kingdom, which made me awaken an old feeling... HATE IS WHAT I FEEL -
At the sound of that scream, the environment itself changed, Naruto and Zoe disappeared, and everyone around them as well, everyone who was on Mount Otis, found themselves seeing a universe, they did not know where they were, and they were looking for meaning to what this whole place was, but there were 3 people, more specifically, 3 women who did know what had happened.
- (You seriously have to be angry, Naruto, to not even try your typical dialogue) - was Artemis's thought.
- Present yourself as a coward and fight like a man - Atlas was not going to admit to being scared, he did not understand what was happening, nor, being a Titan, did he understand where they were.
- You call me a coward, you? That he threw his weapon against a defenseless person who was about to die, what a great joke you just told me, Atlas - while Naruto's voice was heard, he himself seemed to be formed from the stars, where a man was formed with long golden blonde hair and closed eyes, which gave him an air of tranquility or meditation. He was dressed in imposing golden armor, intricately designed with intricate patterns and engravings. The armor is shiny, giving it a metallic and majestic look. The armor covers much of his body, including arms, torso and legs, with a white cape or cloak that flows around him, adding to the feeling of movement and grandeur - I'm only going to give you 2 paths Atlas, surrender and return to your prison or die -
- I will never, never return to that damn prison -
- Then it disappears and not even Samsara salve of disappearing from eternity - after saying his phrase, what seemed like the universe itself began to shake, while a hand was surrounding Atlas's body to be cruelly crushed.
Faced with that scene, everyone turned their gaze towards Naruto, who had his eyes open, which denoted his power and authority, with a large amount of hatred in them, the demigods and hunters were undecided as to what action to take, the first not knowing Naruto, and the second because they saw such an action from their father, who could be considered a pacifist.
The only person who did not feel any feeling of uncertainty towards Naruto was Artemis herself, who approached him and caressed his face, as a wife would do towards her husband, so that he would focus only on her - Naruto -
He himself directed his gaze towards Artemis, imitating her action of caressing his face and bringing their foreheads together - Artemis - at first glance, anyone who saw this situation would say that they are two lovers who showed their appreciation and concern after not seeing each other for too long, a fact not far from reality.
- Better? - was a question asked with such sincerity, that even the blindest people could notice them.
- A little, what I need now is to fix all this problem, take your entourage to Olympus and make them finish their mission, I'll take care of the rest -
- And -
- Artemis -
- Naruto…or should tell you Buddha, my beloved Buddha - Naruto just smiled at that.
… … … … OLYMPUS … … … …
The Olympic meeting room was silent, after hearing the story of the demigods and hunters, everyone was nervous about what they had heard, even more so knowing the threat of Cronus.
But there was something even more worrying for Zeus' mind, Buddha had entered his territory, killed a Titan and interrupted the Oracle's prophecy. This does not make Zeus happy, he never trusted the other pantheons, in his paranoia he believed that any other god who comes to his pantheon only wanted to cause more problems than his pantheon already has.
But hearing that one of his daughter's hunters was the one who invoked the Buddha, in his paranoid mind it could only mean one thing: BETRAYAL!
But before he could go crazy, the doors of Olympus were opened by a kick, which had sent the doors flying, which made all the Olympians tense.
- Damn monkey, what did I tell you about kicking doors like a damn madman - that complaint left the Olympians confused.
-I should stop knocking down the doors of the Shinto pantheon, you never said anything about other pantheons-
- Guys, you should calm down and not start an unnecessary fight - a soft voice could be heard, trying to calm the two men who seemed to be arguing.
- I swear these brats only know how to cause problems -
- YOU SHUT UP, PIG - was the simultaneous cry of the two previous men, at the new voice.
When the smoke cleared, the Buddhist Pantheon could be seen, made up of the Buddha himself, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and finally Tang Sanzang, the only woman in the pantheon.
Zeus, tired of this situation, decided to interrupt - What is the Buddhist pantheon doing in my territory? Do you and Shintoism want to fall before the power of Olympus? -
The entire Buddhist group remained silent for a few seconds, until Sun Wukong began to laugh so hard that his stomach hurt as he fell to the ground. His other companions just stayed silent watching the monkey laugh until he died.
That act provoked the fury of Zeus who prepared his master bolt, but before he could raise it to its full height, he found himself being threatened by a sword from it. mono who continued laughing - Jujujujujuju... you know, you should learn that not all of us are part of the pantheon... jujujujuju... and personally I don't mind murdering you, who knows? I may become the new king of Olympus, just to fulfill my whim... jujujujujuju -
- Calm down dear, you don't want to provoke a war against an entire pantheon... Again, right? - Tang Sanzang tried to control her husband.
- Oh, come on dear, I was just playing - she just raised an eyebrow at him, making him depressed and stood next to her, to receive a kiss on the cheek.
- Well now with the monkey on its leash - our protagonist would say, ignoring the dirty look that Wukong was sending him - we can talk like adults -
-And what does a Buddha want to talk to us about? - was the question asked by Hera.
- More than a talk, it is an apology, for interfering with problems of his pantheon -
- It is not necessary, and in reality we would like to thank you for your intervention, if it were not for you we are sure that the defeat of the Titan Atlas would have been more complicated and with fatalities -
- I am grateful for that compliment, Lady Hera - the blonde would say it as he bows before the queen of Olympus.
- Naruto Where is Zoe? - The question left almost everyone baffled, due to the casual way in which Artemis speaks with Buddha, calling him by another name.
- She meets my mother, breaks into my pocket dimension and kidnaps her, because according to her she deserves to spend quality time with at least one of her granddaughters -
- I think I should take them to visit Takama no. Hara -
- My mother would appreciate that -
- Wait a moment - the shout came from Zeus - How do you know Buddha? Artemis -
- And even more importantly, why did you never introduce him to me, Artemisa? This hottie deserves to know the pleasure of a real woman -
- Shut up bitch - Aphrodite would only give Artemis a mocking look.
- ANSWER MY QUESTION ARTEMISA! - Just when he finished his scream, again the demigods and hunters saw themselves surrounded by the Universe, only this time there was something different, because the universe itself began to move, as if lifting them up until they reached a face.
Which, upon closer inspection, was that of Buddha, who had his eyes closed - or shit, did they make him angry - were Wukong's words when he saw the state of his brother? Yes, being counterparts from another universe was something strange, even for him, but he just accepted it.
At the same time Zeus began to fear for his life, in his pride and anger he had forgotten something important, Buddha was a true primordial, something that very few beings could boast of, there were 4 scales in levels of divine power, god, true god, primordial and true primordial. What was the difference? that those who obtained their title of true, it was not simply a whim, it was because they became true eminences in their domains or powers. Nor should we underestimate the fact that a true God is below a primordial, which was referred to on a general scale, because when push came to shove, they were equal to or even superior to them.
- Naruto, stop it - almost everyone saw that with terror, Artemis, despite being powerful, was simply a goddess, and for her to give an order to a true primordial was something unheard of, and they could only beg Chaos to intervene for her. There were only 3 people from the Greek pantheon who knew the truth, these were his huntresses and his own brother Apollo.
And as if nothing had ever happened, the world returned to normal, to see how Naruto/Buddha was scolded by Artemis for going to extremes.
- My daughter, please answer my question: How do you know Buddha? -
- I met his father millennia ago, he was the mortal who helped me against the twin giants, he is my best friend, the father of my daughters... - she remained silent without knowing what else to say, but she could sense that the next thing she would say would change their relationship forever and she did not care, she was already tired of this game, of coming and going, so she would say it in such a way that not even he could contradict her - and my lover and companion -
That left everyone with their mouths open, even Naruto himself, a reaction that settled when he saw how Artemis grabbed him by his armor and kissed them in front of everyone, without fear or shame, for a moment he didn't know what to do, until he felt a blow on the back of his head, making him hug Artemis and deepening their kiss even more, he already knew who the culprit was, but just this once, he would be grateful to the monkey.
When they separated, they could hear Apollo shout - NOOOOOO! - Everyone immediately looked at Apollo, believing that he was going to attack Naruto, only to be surprised by his next words - They made me lose a lot of drachmas, my brother-in-law was supposed to be the first to take the step, not Artemis -
- Did you already know about this? AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME? - Was Zeus's furious question.
- I've known this for centuries, besides, why should I tell you? It did not cause any real or significant change to Olympus -
- Does a real primordial being in relationship with a Goddess of the pantheon seem like a meaningless change to you? -
- Yes, because he doesn't care about Olympus, he cares about Artemis and her daughters, or to be more specific about the huntresses -
- You want to tell me that this romantic relationship has been going on for millennia and no one had told me anything -
- To be fair, until now they started the relationship, before it was more accumulated sexual tension -
-SHUT UP MONKEY!!! -
- You know, forget it, I'm not going to get involved in this shit, prepare for war and that's it - everyone looked at Zeus's reaction in amazement, they never expected that reaction from him - Do you see me? I'm proud, but I'm not stupid enough to mess with a true primordial, and if they hunt each other, that would benefit the pantheon in the long run - that made Artemis blush, they were giving her permission to marry Naruto whenever she wanted, however the others understood her thinking, she was looking out for the well-being of Olympus.
- JOJOJOJOJOJOJO - Was Wukong's shrill laughter - Wait until mother finds out about this, she will literally force you to get married tied with chains jojojojojo -
- SHUT UP MONKEY!!! -

Well... I hope you liked this chapter.
Yes, the ending feels rushed and with many conveniences, but the truth is I didn't know how to end it, so I apologize for that.
But I think the lemon chapter may help improve this ending, although I say again that chapter is delayed, because I want to continue with other things, well I have news, Toonopolis is on hiatus until further notice, due to how long its chapters are, this story is legally over, but the special is still missing.
So to compensate, I plan to start 2 new stories, which have been hanging around in my mind for a long time, they will be about Naruto x Frozen and another about purely Naruto, the story of Fate, I decided to make it sporadic shorts, that follow the same plot at a general level.
As always the questions, what did you like? What don't you like? What can I improve?
To my English audience I apologize for the bad grammar, but English is not a language that I master. If anyone offers to review the chapters and correct errors, contact me via Discord or Twitter.
Now a small complaint is that the artists no longer even make an effort to review the writers' profiles, right? I mean, I got 2 messages from "Artists" and they gave me 2 names of stories I've never written, so I don't know what to think. Furthermore, I will never understand what commissions are according to them, because as I understand it, the commission is earned by doing the work and from what that work generates you keep a part of the profits. If an artist is willing to explain to me that these are commissions for them, I will be very grateful.
Another thing, I am currently saving for a personal PC. I am studying accounting and that would help me a lot with my studies, so if you could help me with that, not with money directly, but by subscribing to my YouTube channel and watching the videos, even if it is in the background.
I'm doing a remaster of Kairo. I plan to deliver that when I have all the chapters complete, what I don't know is if I should do it as a separate story, or if you want me to overwrite the existing chapters, please give me your opinion.
I have also noticed the abuse that I put in my stories for money, I mean 30 dollars, if I had not thought that very well, at the same time that this chapter is published, a new notification is published in notifications, pardon the redundancy. With new, more accessible prices, but if you request a story 30 days from today I will do it at a 50% discount.
So anyone interested can talk to me on my social networks.
