A/N: For some reason, I had this wacky idea for another "Fate/Stay Night" and "Naruto" cross, and then I thought: why not play the "Polymerization Card" between two servants of different classes to create a pretty much original Naruto reincarnation as a servant? And since I've gotten the idea from that unknown reviewer from "Hero of the Elemental Nations", as well as a certain NeonZangetsu story, I decided to pitch this idea and see where it goes as I get it off my chest. Do read and review, would you kindly?
Also, to those of you following "Naruto: The Dark Knight REMIXED", I would like to remind you that votes are still on for the monster you want Naruto to fight in Training Ground 44. You may choose up to five times, and the monster that earns the most votes will surprise you when the chapter comes, so do please vote.

[Training Ground 44…]
It would normally be a lovely day for a stroll, were it not for the fact that genin from all over the nation were fighting for their lives in this place. Training Ground 44 was by and large the most dangerous place in Konohagakure no Sato; large animals, poisonous plants, overall not a very good place to be. But then again, it was a rather good review for students going through the Chūnin Exams at this stage.
Naruto had been separated from his teammates when that bigass snake came and swallowed him whole. Fortunately, he'd been able to get free when he turned his Kage Bunshin into bombs, making the snake spit him back out. Now however, he'd found himself lost in an unknown part of the forest, separated from his team. "I've got to get back!" he said to himself, "I really don't want Sakura-chan to be disappointed!"
Just as he was about to hop off to find his team, Naruto heard the sound of cawing nearby that almost got him to trip on his own two feet. He turned and saw a pair of really big crows looking at him weird. There was something off about them, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Come to think of it, what were crows doing here in this really dangerous place? It wasn't long until both of them started to fly away; but the look they had in their eyes seemed to be asking him to follow them. "I've got no time for this!"
As he turned to head out and find his teammates, Naruto found himself looking at a pair of rather large and snarling wolves with thick, iron-gray fur and glowing, bluish green eyes a good distance away. Their hackles were raised, showing their aggression towards him. They were not so far away from him that they could not pounce and attack him; and for some reason, he had a feeling both of them seemed to think he was on the menu at the moment.

The wolves both barked, and pounced! Upon landing on Naruto, they found that he had vanished into a puff of smoke upon impact. They then saw that their prey was going in the opposite direction behind them. The cheeky grin on his face had spoken volumes of his victory as he started leaping away at extremely fast speeds. At this point, he was extremely far away from them, and still gaining in distance.
Hopping through the trees quickly, he needed to get away quickly before the wolves caught up! The sound of howling was all that was needed for Naruto to turn and briefly see what was going on. "SHIT!" he shouted, with eyes widened in surprise. And it was for good reason: the wolves had somehow scaled the trees, and were chasing him down. Scratch that, they were GAINING on him! How could something that large move this fast?!
He continued to hop from branch to branch, increasing the strength of his leaps to ensure that he was gaining more distance. Unfortunately, he saw that as he sped up, so too did the wolves. Now those were some really persistent wolves! Wait a minute…there was only one wolf chasing him down, where was the other one? His question was answered the second he saw the other wolf appear from the side, right in front of his path, and kick off from the branch in his direction. Naruto was just about to change trajectory, but it was too late! The wolf was already above him, the jaws closing, and biting down on his chest below the shoulder before he could even create another bunshin.
As the wolf continued to hold Naruto in its large jaws, its falling trajectory continued on down until it landed on its paws. No sooner than it landed than when Naruto began to struggle. "PUT ME DOWN! PUT ME DOWN, YOU OVERGROWN FLEABAG!" he screamed, while flailing his arms around in a vain attempt to get the wolf to put him down. Even if the wolf could not understand the human tongue, it was obvious that the wolf didn't take kindly to his insult, and began to shake him around in an attempt to tire him out, while also slamming the rest of his body into the ground once in a while. Pretty soon, the words "PUT ME DOWN!" were replaced with "LET ME GO!", and "OVERGROWN FLEA-BAG" turned into "MUTT!"
It was at this point that he learned the hard way to be careful of what he wished for, because the wolf just wound itself up, and flung him into a tree at such a high speed that he smashed into a tree on his back before falling to the ground. He was weary, he was hurting, and he was more than a little pissed-off. Naruto had just about enough out of these wolves! Standing up was more difficult now that he was more injured, so he pulled out a kunai to help defend himself. If these wolves were going to kill him, then he was going down fighting!
However, just as he brandished the kunai in one hand, the wolf he was fighting was soon joined by its twin, and they worked fast! They clamped their jaws on his upper-arms, and rolled their heads quickly in such a manner as to dislocate his shoulders with a loud and sickening 'pop!'. They soon backed off, watching and waiting for him to kneel to the ground and screaming in pain as Naruto reflexively dropped the kunai. Did they know about his carrying the Kyūbi? If they did, then that would partially explain why they knew to use lethal force to try and take him down, as well as why they didn't give him much of a chance to recover. But that still left one question: why were they after him?
"Damn it, those two mutts are a real pain in my ass!" Naruto whispered to himself, glaring hatefully at the wolves, "But I've still got to fight! I've got to get to my team!"
As he thought of ways to get out of his current situation, he noted that his vision started taking on an orange hue. He then felt a newfound strength beginning to surge his body, but Naruto's train of thought was was interrupted when one of the wolves pounced! However, this was where things got strange: from the second the wolf kicked off, there was a flicker of movement before it began to change shape. Its limbs and paws had turned into human legs and arms as hands and feet; by the time the wolf-creature had landed on all fours on the large rock, the thick fur began to thin down, showing pale flesh on a body that was still in the middle of transforming; the wolf then pounced again using the now-fully transformed humanoid body to jump high into the air before shifting its weight back down to sit astride on Naruto's shoulders, and began to punch down very savagely and repeatedly in the face until a strong arm held the attacker back from delivering another punch.
"That's enough!" snapped a voice belonging to a woman, catching the attention of the person smashing Naruto's face in, "He's already unconscious. Our orders were to bring him back alive, you bloody idiot!" A clear look at the figure revealed that this was indeed a human woman with long arms and legs, attached to a body that was made up of lean and wiry muscle and complemented with a modestly generous bust. Over her head was a large wolf pelt with iron-gray fur, and the wolf's head secured with its maxilla resting over the top of a head with waist-length, orange tresses, and worn like a cloak. She wore a leather corset, a pair of hard leather vambraces, knee-length toeless boots, and an armored skirt. Her pale skin was pulled taut all over her muscular, lupine body and covered here and there in blue tattoos, most prominent of which being a strip of blue going down across her left eye. The woman was looking down at the figure with smouldering bluish-green eyes.
"Shut it!" shouted the figure, revealing itself to be a woman as well, "That lad needs to learn respect! And if I have to bash his wee face in for calling me a 'mutt' and a 'fleabag', then so be it!" The woman that shouted was of the same description as the woman stopping her from beating in Naruto's face, with the difference being that her blue tattoos were of a darker shade, and a different pattern on her body, especially with a blue stripe going across both of her eyes.
"And I'm right there with you, my wee sister," hissed the first woman, her grip getting even stronger, "but you know damn why you can't do that; and if you don't stop, then you're going to be tied down, while I eat your bloody dinner in front of you!"
It seemed to work. The woman let out an angry sigh as she pulled her arm free. "Fine! But he'd better be worth it!" she said, getting off the now-comatose Naruto. At this point, his now-mangled face was beginning to regenerate.
"What are you talking about?" shot back the civil sister, "Of course he's worth it! Besides, whether or not he would've survived your beating without his 'guest', I think he should have earned your respect by now."
The savage sister snorted. "The lad's lucky he can regenerate. Ah well, let's be off…it's been boring since Master died."

[Elsewhere in Training Ground 44-a little later…]
The world was blurry when he awoke. As Naruto got up, his vision began to clear, and he found himself alone and in a clearing in the woods. Thankfully, he had regenerated while he was unconscious, but that still left the transforming she-wolves that attacked him. Where the hell were they? Were they still running around and attacking people left and right? What were they, anyway?
Naruto knew that the Inuzuka were a clan of shinobi that were skilled in using ninken as a partner, and Kakashi-sensei summoned dogs to pin down Zabuza. But short of a henge, never before had he heard of a jutsu that would allow the user to turn completely into a wolf and back.
At the moment, he was grateful that he had the Kyūbi sealed into him. If he didn't, he would've been dead. But right now, he took into stock of what he was seeing; as he looked around, he saw that he was surrounded by ash and maple trees. What was this place?
What caught his attention at the moment however, was some kind of shrine overlooking a well. The thing was made in a really strange style, and was made out of ash wood. As Naruto looked around, he found that there was a wooden pail near the well that was attached to a winching system above.
"Damn, now it's making me thirsty!" he said, his voice a bit raspy, "I don't know if the water in that well is clean or not, but I don't care. I'm taking a drink, then I'm gone!"
The pail was lowered into the well, and then pulled back up. Within the pail was very clear water; normally, Naruto would be suspicious of any water this clean, but unfortunately thirst and the desire for a quick drink had won out.
Little would he know that his destiny would be changed with that one sip…
…
A/N: I wonder how many people will guess what I have in store for Naruto? I also wonder who gets it right as to what two servants I decided to play the "Polymerization" card on to summon? To those who get it right, I will give you red wine and a leg of lamb to celebrate (or whatever drink-food pair you prefer). In the meantime, your reviews will determine how viable of an idea this is, so do please review, would you kindly?
