see I learned something from watching women, they usually go for looks, but now that they can't see my face they will be dying of curiosity but I'm not going to show my face to anyone.

I watched as Sadie and Carter went on the boat with their uncle before I slipped into the boat and concealed my presence.

they began talking, while I popped open a soda, gathering everyone's attention.

"Naruto," Sadie asked.

"no...," I said uncertainly.

"I know it's you, only you have an obsession with cola," Sadie said.

"alright you caught me," I said as my eyes fell on the cat.

"How did you get into the ship," the man in the trench coat asked.

"well your barriers were extremely poor, I mean I walked straight through them," I said my eyes still on the cat.

"What did I say about staring at muffin," Sadie said as she hid the cat behind her.

"not my fault. predatory instincts," I said averting my eyes.

"what's with the paper bag? don't tell me you already have a scar," Sadie said trying to take off my new addition to my fashion.

I jumped out of my chair and landed on the helm of the ship, and crouched preparing for another attack from her.

only to be pushed down by shishou.

"betrayer," I said as I corrected myself in mid-air and landed on my feet.

"That was quite impressive," the Amos guy said.

"My name is Naruto, but you can call me nine," I said holding out my hand.

"..Amos, Carter, and Sadies uncle," he said shaking my hand.

I walked up to Carter and scanned him before looking back at Sadie.

"I wish I had a sibling. oh, how I would have spoiled them," I said as we arrived in Manhattan.

"oh hey it's New York," I said.

"Have you been here before," Sadie asked?

"once, I then met a friend named Percy, and his crush. good people," I said nodding.

"... do you travel often," Carter asked.

"oh most definitely. new experiences, though sometimes I would receive negative looks that I do not like. nothing new though," I shrugged.

cater seemed to understand the feeling of what I said, while Sadie was confused. Amos didn't say anything.

"All ashore," he said. "And welcome to the Twenty-first Nome."

"mmmm the barriers here are still garbage," I said dealing a major blow to Amos' ego.

"What barriers," Sadie asked.

"Don't worry about it Sadie, the barrier should be for a while. anyways, Im going to have to leave for a bit to do a check-up, if you need me you know what to do," I said handing Sadie a kunai.

"just toss it right," she asked, to which I nodded.

the second they looked away I teleported to camp half-blood and looked at the dragon.

I walked passed him and saw camp half-blood. my presence was concealed to the max so nobody would be able to see me.

I scanned for Percy's aura, only to notice it was not there, and annabeth seemed to be in a frantic mood.

so that means Percy is missing and someone took him, whether that's a good thing or not is up to fate.

I put an FTG seal here so I can come back any time I wanted because tomorrow I had a goal. said the goal was to get the biggest stash of soda when nighttime passes.

I robbed Walmart, Costco, and Food co, and took every soda and bag of chips I could, and left.

to make sure I wasn't caught I used gloves that didn't leave fingerprints and a since I was wearing a paper bag I didn't have to hide my face.

I made it clear that from today onward the paper bag will be my new face. no one was ever going to take it away from me... unless they were shishou.

I slept on Olympus next to the hearth. my head was resting against the fire and Hestia was there smiling down on me.

"you haven't come to visit lately," I said looking into her eyes.

"Olympus is on lockdown Naruto," Hestia said as she stared in confusion at the paper bag.

"lockdown, smackdown. don't care. if I want to visit no one will stop me," I said snorting.

hestia chuckled before saying, "rest now. tomorrow is a big day."

I smiled and tilted my head falling asleep, and that night I had a dream.

I had a boy and a small girl inside my shirt pocket and I seemed to be running away from a man with a gun.

the man aimed and shot inches away from my head and I woke with a start.

now the question was who were those kids and why were they with me?

so much information and so little time to figure it out. sadly he didn't have enough time to ponder as he now had to check up on Sadie.
