Ok, here's the deal. I have put this out as a challenge several times and it has been taken but never done. The challenge was that Artemis and Athena go to the elemental nations and meet Naruto after they found him beaten by mob. Taking pity on him, they became his friends without telling him that they are goddess. So here it is. I will only update this once a month if I feel that you all want more. Rating is subject to change.


"Naruto! Time to get up, we have class in a few hours!"

"...five more minutes..."

"Dammit Naruto! It's your turn to make breakfast. If you don't wake up in the next three seconds I WILL make sure that the ramen store you love black lists you for a month."

"I'm up!" Naruto called as he shot out of bed, knocking over Athena. He flinched as her glare froze him into place. 'Athena, the smartest girl in the academy and the bane of the shadow using Nara clan. So far she she has defeated veteran ninja from the last shinobi war in chess, GO, and other military strategy games. Her tactical prowess is the talk of the ANBU and the Jōnin Commander, Shikaku, wanted to take her one as a his student. She said that she wasn't interested at the time and trashed the Commander in three straight games of chess at the same time. Her spear/sword and shield combos in weapons class is unparalleled by anyone by multiple generations and her hand to hand is matched only by her sister.' Naruto thought as he got ready for the day under her watchful eyes.

A yawn was heard and Athena's sister walked into Naruto's room. "Good morning Athena. Got the sleeping beauty up did you?"

"I still do not get that referance." Naruto grumbled as he put on his jumpsuit. 'Artemis, the greatest tracker, marks-woman, and knife wielder in the village. Like her sister, she is a master in her subjects. She completely over threw the record for the annual academy hunt, which was held by Sasuke's older brother until she came along. After Sasuke tried to get her to become his girlfriend, she beat him up so bad that he was in the hospital for a week. She was let go easily, after all, he did try to get too fresh with her. Because of that she is a proud member of the KAPA (Konoha's Anti-Pervert Alliance) with a seat on the inner counsel. She has never missed a target that I have seen when using any kind of projectile. Only her sister has been able to give her a challenge in hand to hand in class.'

Naruto turned and looked at his two house mates. Athena with her long dark blonde hair in a complex braided ponytail was wearing ANBU issue pants and an average t-shirt that had an Owl on it. Artemis was wearing a silver dress the went to her knees. Her hair was free, but held out of her eyes with a headband. Both had the looks like some of the oldest shinobi that Naruto had met. Like they have seen much of the world and knew things that he himself had yet to think of and experience. The duo were known to beat up perverts at the school when they tried their luck. Naruto knew better not to get too fresh with the sisters as they made it clear that as soon as he tried, they would make him suffer so great that the afterlife's place for the damned souls seemed like a resort.

"So what do you girls want?" Naruto asked as he got out the tools needed to make the meal.

"I'll take some eggs, toast, sausages, and juice." Athena said as she took out a book on advanced construction.

"For me, I will have toast, ham, sausages, an apple, plus water if you would." Artemis stated as she started to sharpen her knife that she used when she was in a mood.

Naruto rolled his eyes at the sisters as they took their sits at the table. He quickly started by placing the toast in the toaster, and went to start on the eggs and meat. "So, anything knew with the KAPA Artemis that I missed at the last meeting?" Yes, Naruto was a member of the group. Not as high up as Artemis or Athena (She became a member days after he sister), but a member non the less.

"Not much. We have made sure that the sale of that perverted series, Ichi-Ichi, was banned from another location, but the books are still being sold in places where the males that read the filth hang out or own. We were able to burn another thirty copies that were owned by one named Kakashi. Oh, and we were able to get the name of the author's main publisher. Soon we will make sure that the next issue wouldn't leave the final draft." Artemis finished with a smile.

Naruto returned the smile with a grin of his own. He had a bone to pick with the fans of the books and knowing that soon they would be able to slow down to stop for a time the sales of the perverted books was a win in his eyes.

"I still don't understand why the Hokage will not place a ban on the sale of the books." Athena voice came out from behind the book her face was in. He is the leader of the village and he supports our cause. Even if he reads the books, we are only asking that they are banned from being sold and to be banned from being read in public."

Naruto snorted. "The books are a source of revue for the village and the 'wise male' members of the counsel will not accept it. Plus I saw that several of the women voted against the passing of the ban.

The girls and lone boy fell into silence; only the fizzing of the ham was heard as each went about their respective tasks.

...

Athena looked at Naruto as the trio walked toward the academy for the last time as students, hopefully. She and her sister could have easily graduated, but she and Artemis took the classed multiple times so that the blonde haired ninja so be could be on their team. 'I hope Tyche is kind to Naruto today. He is nearing at the age limit and if he doesn't pass his dream will be in ruins before it can pass it first major requirement.'

Artemis had similar thoughts but she had an idea to make the village regret not passing the boy if he failed. He had shown himself to be a great tracker for one without much training, and had several traits that the if homed would make him a fine hunter. 'If he fails, tonight I will give him the offer to be trained by my hunt until his skills are an a level high enough that any village would want him. Although he will make a good new huntress if it comes to that.'

As for Naruto, his thoughts were towards the line of how he was going to pass the cloning part of the exam. The paper test he wasn't worried about as Athena was a very persuasive teacher. He shuddered as he recalled how on one paper test he failed and Athena learned of it. 'I still remember where each of the bruises are.' He thought as walked around a cart.

Several of the villagers glared at the trio, but none tried to stop the group or harm them in anyway. Naruto recalled how one had thrown a tomato at each of them once. Later Naruto found out that he was attacked by owls and wolves in the middle of the night. A investigation of the mans life reviled that him and his family were selling information to Iwa and they were quickly taken to Ibiki, screaming that they were being framed. The duo's looks when ever he mentioned the event made him wonder if he truly knew anything about them.

All Naruto and the village knew was that the girls were from beyond the endless sea from a place called A-mer-i-ca. From some of the tales they told, it was a place more advance then snow country and one of the world's powers. If only because of pure luck of the draw. The nation only became a power do to events that allowed it to step onto the world stage, if not a bit prematurely.

The elders had tried on multiple times to get the girls to tell where to find the nation or how to get a message there. Or to one of the other powers. They had refused every time, as they said that they were in no position to give the information. 'It's for the best too. If what they say is true, many of the 'world powers' would leap at the chance to invade the nations for the land and it's natural resources. That would spark a new war as the villages would a-line themselves to a power and with the weaponry that Athena told me, the fighting would cause a massive new world war. Both girls said it was for the best for as long as the powers could not reach these lands, the chance for a new war was lower.

'I wish that they trusted me more.' Naruto thought as he looked back at the girls. 'Feel as if they are hiding something that has something to do on way they befriend me so fast, even with the villagers hate.'

The looming doors to the academy stopped his thoughts.
