Yooo Thank you everyone who's dropped a fave and follow! It motivated me a ton to want to continue especially with the great responses I get from the reviews.

I'm gonna try to update every monday at 5pm PST and possibly drop a bonus chapter on Thursdays at 5pm PST if i have a new chapter written up. I typically reply to reviews with a PM but i'll answer a few here.

Le Phoque Blanc - Yes the Gods follow what regular greek mythology is unless specified otherwise by the show. Hestia doesn't know who Naruto is because in the show Zeus is still alive therefore Zeus wouldn't be able to tell Hestia about Naruto.

I'd like to also add that the Gods and Goddesses know of the God Shinju but dont know what he looks like until they meet him in person. As far as they know when they are in their domain is that Shinju is just a huge tree.

Nise no Kishi - Yeah! There isn't really many stories with Naruto and DanMachi or Sword Oratoria. I'm mainly writing this for myself haha.

Hellfire45 - Thank you! Naruto's Harem will be interesting for sure haha

Spear-of-the-doomed - You'd be correct in your assumption that Hephaestus is connected in some way shape or form. You'll have to see in chapters to come.

- You're a lifesaver.

That wraps up the questions that were asked! Thank you everyone who dropped a review!

I haven't been writing for long and have fallen off many times due to personal events that happen in my life so I'm happy to be back at it once again!

I don't own Naruto or DanMachi

"Bell pay attention to where we are going." Naruto says to the smaller boy who was beaming with excitement. While at times being around Bell was an absolute headache it was also a breath of fresh air.

It had been a month since they both had joined the Hestia familia. Naruto had spent a lot of time with both the Goddess and the boy. Bell had reminded Naruto of what it felt like to have a son again. The thought had crossed his mind a few times about raising a child once again but realized doing so was a responsibility he felt he didn't need at the time. Luckily for him, Bell did a good job at being akin to a son for him.

Today they were heading to the Guild to register Bell as an official adventurer. He also had to re-update his information with the guild due to his many years of inactivity.

As they approached the guild Naruto began to give him minor details of things he should know and what to keep to himself.

It was early in the morning so the building was relatively empty due to the Guild not advising low rank adventurers from entering until more populated hours. This didn't mean you couldn't go in though. The dungeon was simply safer with more people crawling around it.

The duo approached the counter and caught the attention of the advisor. As she approached them Naruto noticed just how beautiful the woman was. He could tell she couldn't possibly be over the age of 20. He saw her pointed ears which were a sign she was an Elf of some sort.

Her short brown hair and glasses made her look even younger. The thing that caught his eyes the most were the two emeralds that she called her eyes. 'Maybe I have a thing for beautiful eyes.' Naruto thought to himself.

Her outfit was the same that all those who worked at the guild wore. They hadnt changed the design for years and it still held its style. Naruto was shaken from his thoughts when the woman finally began talking.

"Hello, my name is Eina Tulle, how can I help you both?" the now named Eina asks, turning her full attention to the two.

"I would like to update my information and would also like to register my friend here with the guild as well." Naruto says, pointing to Bell.

"Very well, I'll need to get the both of your names and we can go talk in private." Eina says with a small smile gracing her features.

After giving her their names she went into the archives to retrieve Naruto's information and get a form for Bell to fill out.

Upon return she led the two into one of the private meeting rooms and handed Bell the form to fill out.

"Might I ask what Familia you two are from?" Eina asks, making small talk while Bell finishes up.

"We are both from the Hestia Familia. She has only recently descended so we are her only members currently." Naruto says as she begins to open Naruto's file. She quickly realized that the man before her was no ordinary man but a living legend.

Very few people knew Naruto by name. Those who did were either God's, very old or dead. Most nowadays knew him simply by his titles.

Eina was quick to stand before bowing at the waist. While she didn't have the desire to become an adventure and was content with her life as an advisor, there were very few people who hadn't looked up to the man who slayed the Behemoth and Leviathan. The Strongest Hero, the man who dwarfed every other adventure in level and power.

On paper his level was recorded at 15 which was inconceivable as it was but many believe that the level was a lie and he was much higher but somehow can change the shown level at will.

In truth It wasn't that at all, he was a higher level but only when he was wielding his crescent blade. As of now he was only at about half power. His blade had a series of intricate seals that at will he could release his full power but no one besides Zeus had to be aware of that fact.

After recovering from her shock she updated his information. He was allowed to go to any floor of the dungeon he pleased on his own. Bell on the other hand was only allowed down to the 5th floor by himself. As the two were leaving Eina presented them both with a standard short sword they gave everyone who was just starting out.

After the two bid Eina a farewell they proceeded to the dungeon. Bell was hardly able to hold his excitement in as they reached the first floor. He marveled at the sword he was given as he held it close. Naruto had a moment of realization that he should probably teach Bell some sword techniques in the near future.

They quickly blazed through the first 4 floors meeting little to no resistance from the weak monsters. He stopped for a moment to collect a few of the crystals that had fallen from the monsters. This wasn't too bad. He knew it would be easy but he had forgotten it was THIS easy. His presence alone was enough to kill a few of the monsters. Surely the dungeon had to have become easier than what he remembered.

"As long as we stick together you should be fine Bell." Naruto says closing his bag he slips it on his back and turns to face Bell only to find a large lizard. The two of them faced each other in confusion for a moment before Naruto let out a heavy sign.

"Do you know where the little bastard ran off to?" Naruto asks the large lizard before it lifts its arm and points further into the dungeon. It let out a small noise that didn't hold much significance to Naruto

Muttering a thanks, Naruto started walking further leaving the lizard in its confusion. Naruto was now standing on the 6th floor and he was beginning to become worried for the well being of his friend. He made it down to the 7th floor when he heard the roar of a minotaur. He quickly found the source of the noise just as it was being cut down by a woman.

At first glance Naruto was able to see two defining features of her. Golden hair and golden eyes. She was wearing a white and black battle cloth with black arm covers and blue boots that reached up to her mid thigh. Her armor consisted of a headguard, breastplate, arm guards, hip guards, and knee guards. He definitely didn't have a thing for exotic eye colors… Right?

"Beautiful." Naruto softly mutters to himself before shaking himself out of the trance she put him in. Seeing the body of the minotaur disappear leaving what appeared to be a very bloody version of his friend make his heart sink.

Had he been too late once again. Had he let his friend-no his son- die? He was a failure, just like the night he couldn't save his Familia. Rage and pain began to build as he was bombarded with memories of his dead friends. Their once lively smiles turned to faces of shock and horror.

These emotions only lasted so long before the bloody mass jumped up and ran away. Groaning he realized Bell was most likely unharmed. He calmed down a bit before rolling his eyes. 'He's such an idiot. When i get my hands on him he's going to wish he was dead.' He thought to himself before turning to the woman once more.

Their eyes had met for just a moment but it felt like eternity. Their gaze broke as Naruto turned to walk away again but stopped for just a moment.

"Thank you for saving the idiot." He says before continuing back to the surface leaving the girl in a state of confusion.

"Just who was that man?" She thought to herself as she brought her hand to her chest. When she made eye contact with him her heart began to race. She didn't know what to make of what happened.

After Naruto had caught up to Bell who at this point had run all the way back the guild Eina was there to greet them with concern considering Bell was still covered in blood.

After a quick shower the trio were sitting on the couches in a private room. They were both being chewed out by Eina for Bell's recklessness and Naruto's lack of awareness at the time. A quick apology and some groveling later she had finally let them off the hook.

They had both begun questioning Eina about the woman that had saved Bell. She was able to recognize the person they were talking about instantly."Her name is Ais Wallenstein, she's a first class adventure. Many speculate that one day she will even be able to rival the power the Zeus Familia had. She's also a member of the Loki Familia, just a forewarning."

Naruto flinched slightly at the mention of Loki, even though Zeus explained why they had banished him, Naruto was still sore about it. The flinch didn't go unnoticed by Eina who seemed to let it go for the time being.

He did snort at the comment about her possibly being able to rival a member of his familia. Maybe he would have to get closer to this girl and see what she was made of. The weakest member of the Zeus familia was still a Top class adventurer.

The duo bid their advisor a farewell before they left the pantheon. The walk home was mostly silent as night had begun to fall. They were nearly home when Bell stopped walking and began to stare at the ground.

"What's up kid?" Naruto asks as he takes notice of Bell.

"I want to be stronger." Bell says as he looks at his hands. "I want to be as strong as you and Ais. You're both leagues ahead of me."

Naruto walks over to Bell and stands in front of him for a moment. He then places his hand on Bell's head and ruffles his hair making him cry out in embarrassment. His fatherly side was starting to show its face again.

"You'll get there kid. I believe in you." Naruto turns to walk away but stops. "You remind me a lot of myself when I was your age. I didnt know what i was doing until someone stopped me and asked what i was fighting for. That day i learned that when you have someone you want to protect, your body will adapt to your will to fight and push it further beyond its limits."

After he dropped Bell off at the church he knew the blade he was given today wasn't going to cut it in the long run. Neither were his clothes, he was still wearing the casual clothes that he had worn when he originally came to town. He told Bell that he would meet him at the dungeon entrance in the morning.

After a couple hours of travel he made it back to his house outside of Orario nearing midnight. He opened his door and walked to the wall where his crescent blade rested.

"It's been a long time Kurama, I think it's time we fight to protect once again." After he finished speaking the blade began to glow a bright red as the seals began to release. Grabbing the pole of the weapon, he felt his power begin to return. He walked over to a nearby chest and opened it revealing a leather set of armor. After he put the armor on he began to examine himself in the mirror.

It had been a long time since he truly looked at himself. His golden blonde hair reached down to his shoulders as two bangs framed his face. Long gone were the whisker marks he once had as a child. He looked like a carbon copy of his father with the only difference being his vibrant violet eyes that seemed to glow with power at times.

He stood at nearly 6'3". While not the tallest out there he was definitely taller than most individuals which definitely gave him that intermediation factor.

His armor was a pitch black leather with golden stitching. His right arm was covered with a bone-like golden arm brace reaching from his shoulder to his wrists. His left arm was covered with a black and gold cloth half cape that fell off his side. His chestpiece had the Zeus Familia insignia imprinted over his heart. His pants consisted of a hide like material that seemed incredibly sturdy. He wore black combat boots made of the same material as his chestpiece.

He drank in his own appearance before letting out a chuckle.

"It's been a long time since I wore this armor. Let's put it to good use shall we?" he says to himself before grabbing his blade and leaving.

He had arrived back in Orario at nearly 3 in the morning and decided that he would traverse the dungeon a bit to make up for lost time. Due to the time the dungeon was mostly quiet as he didn't even bother to fight the monsters on the high levels because they were too afraid to even attack him.

Soon he found himself staring down The monster Rex Goliath, it was the first monster that actually attempted to fight him. He had a feeling it was due to the fact that it was trying to prevent him from going any further but he didn't care much. He pulled the Crescent blade off his back and slashed forward at Goliath.

"Projection." Naruto whispers as a visible blade of air could be seen as it traveled towards the monster.

The slash made quick work of the monster as it fell to the ground leaving behind a large crystal.

"You are as weak as ever Goliath. Hopefully one day you'll be a challenge to me again." He says as he walks to the exit of the room. Before he could leave he hears a rumble but nothing occurs after. 'Hopefully Black Goliath appears soon. I highly doubt any of these new Top class adventures could hold a candle to him.'

The Goliath that guarded the 17th floor was a poor imitation of the Goliath that had been born from his powers. The Black Goliath was a being to be feared and held adventurers back from passing for years. The Zeus Familia were the only ones who were able to fight it and come out victorious.

He let out a smirk before continuing on. Floor 18 was the pit stop. No monsters spawned here and the scenery was beautiful to say the least. He had been here countless times but it was breathtaking regardless.

Something new he found was a large pile of gear that seemed to be acting as a grave. He knelt down as he wished them a peaceful rest and honored them for likely dying as warriors. To live and die by the sword was a way of life Naruto knew and respected all too well.

Taking a small break he ventured into the town but didn't find anything useful to him. He stopped off at a bar to grab a drink and a bite to eat. Considering how late it was most of the people in the bar seemed to be nearly on their way out.

Ordering his food and a beer he heard people talking about Goliath being stronger than usually recently and couldn't help but scoff. Though it did begin to prove his theory that the creatures would begin to regain their strength now that he was there. He'd definitely have to start training the kid to become stronger if he wanted to stand a chance.

Deciding now is a good time to start heading back up to the surface. He dropped a small bag of Vali on the table and left leaving a stunned barmaid behind. He had promised Bell that he would meet him at the start of the dungeon and he wasn't one to go back on his word.

As he began walking up the dungeon he ran into a party of adventures, normally he would have ignored them but he saw her again. Her wonderful golden eyes seemed to shine through the darkness as they approached

The Loki Familia had set off to the dungeon very early in the morning that day. Hoping to beat the competition to the lower floors they traveled with haste.

They had just entered the room that Goliath resides in only to find it empty. They were about to proceed but stopped at the appearance of a man coming from Rivira.

Ais had immediately recognized the man whom she had seen the day before with the boy. She could honestly say the man looked like a God. The power that seemed to roll off of him dwarfed their entire parties. His clothing looked like it would belong to high ranking nobility. She was able to see a partial of a symbol on his chest but the cloth portion of his outfit covered most of it.

He stared into her eyes once again. Purple meeting gold once again. He began to approach her but the other members of her Familia blocked his path.

"Who are you and what do you want with Ais?" a short blonde with a staff asks.

He clocked his eyebrow before letting out a scoff. If he truly wished he could annihilate these weaklings but figured when you're interested in a woman, beating up her friends probably isn't the best course of action.

"We will meet soon enough Ais Wallenstein. You have peaked my interest."

With that Naruto walks away leaving the party stunned and confused over what had just transpired.

Ais could only stare at the man's retreating form and felt a slight tingle in her chest.

Naruto had finally gotten to the top of the dungeon just in time to see Bell approach. He had a small food box in his hand and Naruto was about to question it but decided against it.

Bell could only marvel at how cool Naruto looked. Naruto effortlessly deflected questions about how he had gotten his armor and weapons and how much they had to have cost him.

If he was being truthful it didn't cost him a dime. When you kill and skin the Behemoth and Leviathan and make armor out of them it doesn't cost you much when you're in good graces and bed partners with the Goddess of Blacksmiths.

However there was a small chance that he would actually give out that information. He had many sets of armor and clothing made from the various different pieces of both monsters.

~Floor 5~

Once they had reached the 5th floor of the dungeon things had really started to kick into motion. Naruto could see the renewed vigor that Bell had as he tore through mobs. Naruto had done very little up to this point only really acting as support and collecting monster crystals.

After Bell had tired himself out they went back to the surface and returned to the Guild to turn in their crystals. Some were surprised to see the Goliath crystal the newbie had brought in but that was Naruto's prankster side coming through to garner a few laughs.

"Ah, Naruto, I made a promise that I would eat at this pub later tonight. Would you like to join me?" Bell asks as they walk out of the Guild.

"Yeah sure, I have a few things I need to take care of but it shouldn't be a problem, which pub and what time are you thinking?" Naruto asks, he had been putting off checking on a few things for nearly a month now and it was about time he did it.

"It's called the Hostess of Fertility and I'll meet you there around 8?" Naruto nods in agreement before the two split ways.

Naruto began his journey to the outskirts of the town more towards the area where nobility lived.

He approached one of the mansions that seemed still perfectly maintained. There were a few lights on but not many. Opening the large gates he walked through the courtyard and took in the sight of the giant fountains and gardens that flanked the path.

Once he reached the door he pulled a set of keys out and opened the door. The main room had a large staircase that led to the second floor. A man stood in front of the staircase wearing a black suit.

"It seems you have finally returned Master Naruto, is the Zeus Familia reclaiming their honor or will you be leading a new God to victory?" the man asks politely while bowing.

"This mansion will now be the home of the Zues-Hestia Familia. Please make accommodations for their arrival in the near future." Naruto says with a smile

8:00 PM

Naruto could now be found standing in front of the pub that Bell had told him to go to. He was about to go to the church but luckily saw Bell running up the path towards him.

" I'm glad you were able to make it! Did you take care of what you needed to?" Bell asks as they walk into the pub.

"Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem for a while now." Naruto replies as a barmaid walks towards them.

"Hello my name is Syr and I'll be serving you tonight. I'm happy to see you again Bell." the girl says with a soft smile and a blush. Naruto notices the blush on her face as he smirks knowingly. She led both men to the counter where she began to serve them plate after plate of delicious food. The food had a familiar taste to it but wasn't able to place it.

After a while of drinking and chatting with Bell, Naruto notices a woman with long brown hair and eyes to match walk out from the kitchen. She was a littler on the stockier side and gave off a motherly vibe.

"Well I'll be damned who would have thought I'd ever see Naruto Namikaze sitting in my pub. I didn't realize we became popular enough to serve someone like you." the woman says as she leans up against the counter.

"Well no wonder this food tastes like garbage, if you're the one who made it Mia. I wouldn't be surprised if I keeled over here and now from food poisoning." Naruto says with a smirk as he finishes off his bowl of food. The other people in the bar could only stare in shock at the man who just insulted the owner of the pub.

"Oh hush you damn brat and get over here." Mia says as she opens her arms as Naruto stood up he approached her and pulled her in for a hug.

"We both know who the little brat of the two of us is Mia." Naruto whispers into her ear that sent shivers down her spine. They both pulled away and laughed. Pouring him a beer they began to idly talk about what had been happening in their lives.

Back when Mia had just started adventuring she had met Naruto and had fallen in love with him. Of course they had done a few things here and there but the rivalry between the Zeus Familia and Freya Familia was in full swing at that point and they had ended their relationship and stayed good friends.

Naruto had hardly noticed the party of Loki Familia who had entered the pub some time ago. He would have paid them no mind until one of the brats began talking bad about Bell. Mia was about to say something but stopped when Naruto held up his hand.

"That tomato has no right to be an adventurer, Ain't that right Ais?" A white haired man says as he smacks his knee in laughter. The members of the Loki familia joined in with their own laughter. This seemed to be the breaking point.

Naruto began to stand up when Bell slammed his hand against the table and ran out of the pub. He could see that this man's words had upset Bell a great amount. At this moment Mia pulled Syr and the other barmaid into the back room.

Naruto stood there releasing a deathly aura. Slowly turning towards the table of Loki Familia he began to approach them.

"What is your name boy" Naruto speaks slowly to the werewolf getting a questionable look from the man and the occupants of the table. Many of them recognized the man from earlier that morning.

"What's it mean to you?" the werewolf snarks off to the man which only fueled Naruto's anger.

"I said, What is your NAME, BOY!" Naruto grabs the man by his collar and lifts him up to bring them face to face.

The other members of the Loki familia stood up to try and defend their friend but behind the man stood an all black mass with a single eye that promised death. Ais was confused when her fellow familia members began to back away in fear.

"Regardless of what your name is boy, if I ever hear you say one more bad thing about my fellow Familia member it will be your last day. Do you understand me?" getting a weak nod he throws the werewolf out of the pub. Seeing Mia peak her head around the corner she gives him a nod as he leaves to find Bell.

Right outside the pub he was stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Turning around his eyes once again met the gold. The look of worry that was on the woman's face seemed to calm Naruto down a smidge.

"I'm sorry for how Bete acted." With that she gave a small bow. Naruto gave a grunt in acknowledgement before walking away. He would have said more but he had an upset kid to look for.

Ais felt her chest tighten as she watched him leave. Her entire being was trying to tell her to call out for him but she could do little as he walked away. 'Why does it hurt so much seeing him upset like that?' The girl thinks to herself as she goes to check on Bete.

Naruto had searched high and low for the kid but came up empty. He should have put a marker on him so he could know where he was at all times. Upon his arrival to the church he found Bell covered in cuts and bruises but nothing he couldn't heal up.

Bell had stumbled to Hestia who seemed to be worried about him as well. By the looks of it, the Goddess had not slept at all the night before. She pulled Bell into a tight hug and let him cry into her shoulder. After a moment Naruto wrapped his arms around the two and pulled them close. Bell's cries and wanting to become stronger had struck Naruto to his core.

"We will make you stronger, Bell. Hestia and I will do everything in our power to make you the strongest you can be."
