People have been asking me since Naruko is no longer human to put in a yuri pairing and such or if her dream of having a family was gone.
When I meant 'no longer human', I meant how when Merlin claimed that Arturia would 'no longer be human' after taking Caliburn from the stone, as a king is someone who kills everyone to protect everyone and when it was destroyed Avalon took place of keeping her young and stopped her psychical aging.
Now I am not sure if Arturia could've had a child with Shirou (confirmation would be great on that one people!), but since I want Naruko to revive the Uzumaki clan, she will be able to have children. Yes, she has dragon blood in her like Arturia and she will be able to pass it to her descendents but not the magical core part.
Any question on that, say it in your review and I will answer you back. And look at the poll on my page people; I wanna know what you would enjoy.

Naruko was currently walking next to Anko as they had an applicable conversation.
"So, did the giant man eating tigers have cubs yet?" Naruko asked curiously
Anko laughed knowing what she was doing, "Yep, they're even on the hunt for food right now. Thanks to the exam, they're going to have all the 'food' they need."
"I wonder if they'll let me pet the cubs." Naruko wondered out loud cutely.
Anko snickered, "They do like you, so maybe."
Everyone listening to the two were freaking out about where they were going.
"Well, here we are! Welcome everyone to the second stage of the Chunin Exams training ground 44, the forest of death!" Anko shouted as she pointed out the large forest behind her.
"You soon to be dead gaki's are looking at my favorite training ground."
"I love my little vacation spot." Naruko said with a smile
Anko grinned and threw a kunai at the blonde. Naruko easily tilted her head to the side and let the kunai sail pass her head but she got a small nick on her cheek. Anko appeared right behind her and slowly licked her bloodied cheek which healed a second later.
Anko gave a soft moan, "Did I ever tell you that your blood is so delicious, like addicting even?"
"No, tell me more." Naruko said in a sultry tone. She loved the little games they played.
Most of the guys felt the need for a cold, cold shower right now. (Except Sasuke…we all know why.)
She stopped her blissful snack when she felt someone behind her and drew another kunai, turning to see a strange woman with a straw hat and a serpentine long tongue that was holding a kunai.
"Here's your kunai proctor-san." The woman said in a weird sort of tone.
"Thanks, but you really shouldn't get behind me. I just might kill you by accident." Anko said
"My most sincere apologies. The site of blood tends to excite me and when you threw that kunai, you seemed to have cut my precious hair." Said the Kusagakure kunoichi as she licked her lips.
"Well, I guess we're going to have a blood bath this year." Anko said as she pulled a stack of papers and handed them out.
"Now I need you guys to sign these papers. These forms are in case you die that we, Konoha, are not at fault for your death. After signing the paper and passing it to these Chunin, and I will explain the exam."
After a few minutes, everyone had signed their death wavers and Anko started talking.
"Now the second part of the exam is a survival test. You have five days to get a set of these scrolls, 'she said as she held up two scrolls, one with the kanji of heaven and the other one that was labeled earth.' Each team starts out with one. After you complete your set you go to the tower in the middle of the forest."
"Five days! What about food?" Choji shouted
Anko just laughed, "There's plenty of plants and animals to eat in there."
"Oh and one last thing…try not to die."

Naruto looked in her hand and saw that her team had received a heavens scroll. She made a quick storage seal under her sleeve on her arm and sealed the scroll in it.
Naruto walked to the gate where her team was supposed to enter. She looked at her teammates and saw that Sakura was in a panic and Sasuke was calm and glared at her every once in awhile.
She sighed inwardly, just this and the last test, and she would be free of them. It wasn't that she hated them…well she does now as Sakura's attitude towards her career sickened her and Sasuke's 'holier then thou' attitude made her blood boil but, she really just doesn't trust them.
Trusting others wasn't really an ability she had ever since she was much younger. You either had to earn it or she had enough contingence plans to counter a betrayal on her person and not be harmed be it physically or mentally.
It didn't really help that Kyuubi would whisper that they would all betray her at one point and just use her as a weapon and dispose of her when her usefulness was done as that was why jinchuuriki existed, to be used as a weapon at least from what she read.
After reading Mito's journals she started to see herself as a guardian as that was what Mito and her mother were.
"Alright people the second stage of the Chunin exam starts now!" Anko shouted as her voice filled the air.
The gates opened and the teams bolted in.

Kakashi was once again staring at the memorial stone and sighed. This was his teams' last chance to make it or break it. He really respected his sensei even more now that he had to teach for himself.
Naruko's words really stuck to him, maybe if he tried to stop Sakura's obsession and tried to help Sasuke to open up a little, the team would be better.
His trace of thought focused on Naruko, she was strong.
No doubt about it, stronger then some Chunin if not some newly minted Jonin if she used Kyuubi's power, but she didn't really seem to trust anyone.
The abilities she had shown during Nami attested to that when he had asked her about it and she immediately got on the defensive.
He couldn't really blame her, from the time he found her in the forest when she was young; she had changed from a good girl to someone who just ignored everyone but that friend of hers from Gai's team and tries stay away from pretty much everyone else as she grew up.
He had shadowed her one time to see where she goes every now and then. One time during his reconnaissance she disappeared and didn't show up till a few hours later.
Sure, she may be a bit arrogant or was it confidence as her fight with Zabuza was testament to her skill.
She was the last link to his sensei even if she didn't know and it hurt to see her act this way. If her parents could see her he was sure they would be upset and hate Konoha for doing this to their child.
How could he fix this?
"Still wasting your hours here, huh Kakashi?" Said the voice of a male with a bit of playfulness in the tone.
Kakashi turned to see a large older male with long white hair in a pony tail that reach to the small of his back and garbed in green shirt and pants with a sleeveless red cloak that reach the man's' knees. On his head he wore a horned metal headband with the kanji of oil on it and had red lines running from under his eyes to the bottom of his cheeks.
Kakashi gave an eye-smile to the man, "Hello Jiraiya-sama and yes, I am."
This was Jiraiya the Sannin, one of the legendary three ninja's of Konoha and the writer to Kakashi's favorite book series.
"Haven't gone to see sensei yet…how's the kid?" The Kage level ninja asked with curiosity
A frown could be seen forming under Kakashi's mask, "Well she is very powerful for her age, smart too just like sensei, and she has major trust issues to boot."
"Well, that's sound just wonderful." Said Jiraiya in a sour tone, sure he was happy that his god daughter was strong and smart just like her old man at his age, but to not really trust…well he was really feeling that when the time for him to train her came it may be a tad…difficult.
"So, how is her view on the village?" the sage asked
"She pretty much ignores everyone but the few friends she has and hates sensei's guts too." Replied the mask wearing ninja in a sad tone.
Jiraiya just scowled, he knew he should have taken her, but his sensei insisted that she would be safe in the village…bull crap from what he heard. He knew about what the people of Konoha had done to the girl and it made him question if his students' sacrifice was really worth it at times.
He read the reports his sensei sent to him, she was like a true Uzumaki with Fuinjutsu and that she figured out herself about the seal and the fox told her about her mother and other relatives, his sensei should have just told her like he had wanted. Not about her father thought, since she now held some animosity toward him.
"How's her training going?"
Kakashi said nothing for a few seconds and thought about the question. In truth the girl really just either trained herself with Kage Bunshin to learn a new jutsu or spared with Anko at times to get experience when fighting higher level opponents and her new vassal Haku to learn training methods in Kiri. He wasn't really doing much for her besides teaching her those two Raiton Jutsu's at Nami.
Sure he could have trained her with lightening Chakra since she had a strong level of control over water that would make most Jonin green with envy, but he felt she wasn't ready yet.
He was average at best with a sword so that was out of the question and she usually went to Asuma for help with Fuuton related things.
He had hoped those teamwork exercises would have help her come out of her shell a bit, but since she disliked her teammates it wasn't really helping and the from there fallout when he told them about the exam, she disapproved of his teaching style, but that was really thanks to Sasuke since he had to focus on keeping him loyal to the village.
"It's hard to figure out the right ways to train her since she has a wide variety of skills. Her Kenjutsu is so good that even Momoichi Zabuza even complimented her and gave her his sword before his death. Her skills with Suiton make her out to be the next Nidaime when she gets older and her skills with Fuinjutsu are above mine since I only really dabble in the art myself due to sensei's influence. She has a good grasp to Fuuton also with the help of Hokage-sama's son Asuma and good Taijutsu thanks to Maito Gai teaching her for about a year. I've really only taught her two Raiton jutsu's and just had been giving teamwork exercises to my team since there has been some hostility between them." Kakashi said truthfully as he had no idea of her true level at times since she would hide what she could really do he theorized.
"How much hostility?"
"A lot, Naruko calls Sakura a useless fan-girl and Sasuke a thief with a stick up his ass."
Jiraiya just groaned, 'Why sensei would put together a team with the lack of ability to cooperate I will never know.'
"What do you think your teams' chances are in the second stage?" asked Jiraiya
"With Naruko there, pretty good." Kakashi said in a happy tone since he knew Naruko would at least protect them so she could pass this round of the exam.
"Well, that's good, see ya around Kakashi." Said Jiraiya as she Shushin'd away to see his sensei.

As Naruko and company rushed through the gate, the team stopped in a small clearing with some decent tree cover after about ten minutes of running.
Naruko sent a quick pulse through the ground and had a small smirk on her face.
"I'll be right back; I need to take care of some…business." Said Naruko
"What business?" asked Sasuke with a raised eye-brow
"Female business." Naruko shot back as she walked into the forest and made a quick clone to continue for her as she hid in the foliage.
Just as she thought, an Ame-nin in a yellow jumpsuit, seriously who wears a yellow jumpsuit, jumped the clone and when it popped it left the Ame-nin confused.
Naruko took this chance and rushed him and cut off his head quickly and silently with a wind chakra enhanced kunai.
She pilfered the body and found another heaven scroll and sealed it with her teams scroll.
Naruko burned the body and walked back to her team, "Some Ame-nin tried to ambush me so I killed him and took his scroll. It was a heaven scroll, but the less competition the better."
Sasuke nodded and Sakura quickly followed with that line of thinking.
They continued to transverse the forest with Naruko leading them since she knew how to get through the forest till she came to a stop as she felt a shift in the air.
Naruko's eyes went wide and she pushed her team out of the way as a wave of wind blasted through the area and sent her flying leaving her team with the one responsible for the wind.

Naruko quickly reinforced her entire body to the max as she smacked through the trees till she finally landed.
She looked around and saw three large snakes surrounding her. She could tell at first glance that these snakes were summons. After so many hours of training with Anko it was impossible to not know the difference.
'Why would Anko release her summons in the exam, the forest is already dangerous enough as it is and she isn't even allowed to interfere with the exam and she knows better too. So who summoned them…NO!' Naruko screamed in her mind as she jumped over one of the three large snakes as it went to attack her.
Naruko unsealed Kubikiri Houcho from left palm and added wind chakra to increase the zanbatou's length and cutting power. She performed a Prana Burst and got right in front of one of the summons and sliced its head off.
She leaped into the air to dodge another bite from one of the last two snakes and ran up a tree and did a back flip and sliced the snake chasing her vertically from mouth to tail.
She did a quick kawarimi to escape the maw of the last snake and threw Kubikiri Houcho it like a boomerang and cut the last snakes jaw off and it puffed away.
Naruko retrieved and resealed Kubikiri Houcho in her palm and tried to locate her team, "What the hell is he doing here?" she knew only one other person who was able to summon snakes besides Anko, one of the villages' worst traitors and one of the Sannin, Orochimaru.

Sasuke was scared; he had tried everything he could think of to defeat this Kusa 'kunoichi', but everything he tried ended in failure.
"Well Sasuke-kun, I must say I'm somewhat disappointed. While you do hold some skill, I was hoping to see a bit more out of you. Though you have entertained me somewhat so I think a farewell gift is in order." The 'woman' said in a silky voice.
The Kusa-nin ran through some hand-signs and 'her' neck extended and bit Sasuke on the neck as he had no strength to dodge.
Sasuke collapse with a scream as he held his neck where he was bitten.
"Sasuke-kun!" Shouted Sakura as she ran to her love interest, "Sasuke-kun! What did you do to him?" the pink haired girl shouted to the Kusa-nin.
'My what a set of lungs this one has.' The kusa-nin thought as 'she' got the ringing out of 'her' ear. "I merely gave Sasuke-kun a gift, tell him should he ever want power, and he will, to come and find me." the 'Kunoichi' said as she dodged a jet stream of water aimed at her.
Naruko landed in a defensive position in front of her team with Excalibur invisible in hand and ran through as many scenario's in her head as she could to see how she could fight off this opponent she knew she didn't have a chance against.
The Kusa 'Kunoichi' looked at the new comer and laughed a bit, "Well hello Naruko-chan, what a please to finally meet Konoha's last Uzumaki."
"Enough of your games, Orochimaru." Naruko said with a growl
Sakura paled as she heard the name of the enemy in front of them. No wonder Sasuke couldn't beat her…him; he was one of the Sannin.
"Kukuku, what gave me away Naruko-chan."
"First, it is Uzumaki-san to those that are not my friends and second, who other then Anko-nee-chan can summon snakes." She may not be able to win against him, but she refused to fear to this…creature.
"Oh, but we could be friends Uzumaki-san." The snake said mockingly as he teared off his feminine face to show his real one.
"How is my old favorite toy by the way?" he asked with amusement
Naruko just snarled, but calmed herself, she would free her sister-figure from its damn seal, she was an Uzumaki after all, and no seal was out of reach of understanding to one of them.
"Why are you here?" Naruko questioned
"Why for Sasuke-kun of course."
Naruko ran that through her head and she then gave a small chuckle, "Still going on about that ridiculous dream of yours?" Naruko asked with amusement
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, "What business of it is yours." He said with some edge in his voice
Naruko snorted, "Until you figure out how to create chakra element fusion, you would have to take the body of a wielder of a sub-element Kekkai Genkai to just being able to use that sub-elements jutsu's and last I check the sharingan is incapable copying Kekkai Genkai jutsu's, so your dream is just that…a dream."
Orochimaru just snarled at the girl, how dare she mock him, but he regained his cool and would not let some child get the better of him.
"You have quite the mouth on you; perhaps I should put you in your place."
"I'm merely stating my opinion, getting angry at a child's words may, what a sad thing you are." Naruko said as she made sure the 'thing' comment was heard as she didn't recognize him as a human being.
The snake merely hissed at her, "You are asking for a death wish aren't you?"
Naruko shrugged, "Maybe I am, but you want your little Uchiha to pass this round don't you? So you won't kill me." She said with a smile, she knew what it wanted and Uchiha had to pass this round and continue if that seal didn't kill him first, so she was safe because the Uchiha needed a full team to pass.
Orochimaru contemplated this, it was true, Sasuke needed to pass this round and killing the jinchuuriki wouldn't help with that and it would make him an even bigger target for them.
"You may want to slither back into your hole snake. I can signal all high rank Shinobi in this village with one move. They would be here in minutes and I think I can last at least that long." Naruko said with a grin, knowing if she would release Kyuubi's chakra to as high as she could control, no doubt her jiji and Kakashi along with any other Shinobi that remembered the feeling of Kyuubi's chakra would come running to either stop her or see what was happening.
Orochimaru's face was neutral, but on the inside he was frowning. This girl was calling him out and if she could signal Konoha's forces to this location it would not be in his favor to fight just yet.
He would have to get the little blonde back for this at a later time.
"Hm, well played Naruko-chan. I'll play along for now, but just you wait because I am somewhat curious to see how you far just as Sasuke-kun had." Orochimaru said was he vanished into the darkness.
Naruko released the breath she was holding and walked to Sakura.
Sakura's face was covered in sweat and she was in a panic, "How did you get him to leave? All you did was talk to him!" Sakura shouted
Naruko sighed, "You don't need to fight to win a battle. Sometimes words are just as good. It's too much of a coward to face Konoha's forces, so I bluffed and said I could signal them and they would be here in minutes, so it left."
Sakura was speechless and in awe of how Naruko just bluffed her way of having to fight an S-rank missing-nin.
"Come on Haruno, we have shelter to fined and I need to look over that seal the snake put on Uchiha here."
Sakura dumbly nodded and Naruko made some clones to carry Sasuke as the two looked for shelter.

There we go, sort for the late up date but TMON kept me busy and I hadn't come up with an idea for the chapter yet till now. While i love the Chunin exam, i also hate it. I can not find the motivation to burst through this like i normally would, hell i'm even contemplating on just doing a summary on it and just go to the Tsunade arc, but you guys wouldn't like that. i have so many plans that revolve around the time skip that i'm getting antsy. So if the chapter fells like a less then sub-par then my usually writing, forgive me for having a bit of a dry spell, been having a tough time with my uncles funeral and such. R&R, no flames, peace off!
