(Hello as you can probably tell… I'm not dead I'll just be updating very slowly while I'm not on break. I'm in High school for those who don't know. Now as for my stories I'll be saying which ones will be updated regularly and which ones will not. Now FNAT and Ninja of the maze is on hiatus for those who care. All NLOC stories will be updated some slower than others like DBW. Not abandoned mind you. Now Ninja of the island deserves an update, and will be the next to be updated. I still need help deciding which fallout universe to use. It's either 3 or 4. New Vegas will be a dark or grey Naruto who will be introduced later. Now either way make the crossover work, but I need an outsiders opinion, so vote it in the comments. Now that this exceedingly long AN is done. Enjoy would you kindly?)

After sending Sasori back before heading to Suna as to not cause a panic. Naruto and Gaara went to say good bye to Gaara's siblings and to see if they could hold things down while they were gone. After a heartfelt goodbye between the siblings Gaara and Naruto meet up with Yugito and the others that they sent a head to Kumo without them.

"Are you guys ready to head back?" Naruto asked seeing that everyone returned

Seeing that they all nodded Naruto activated a seal that would transfer them to Camp Half-Blood. When they got back it was a little after the race, which was a great time to come back as it would draw less attention. When they got back they learned that Naruto and Selena won the race, and Naruto killing the 'birds' that attacked them.

Right now Naruto was asking if Yugito Gaara and Sasori wanted to stay or go and join the others. Sasori and Yugito decided to go with the others and Gaara decided to stay and help defend the camp if need be, and will join the others later. Right now Naruto and his friends are resting in there cabin.

"So Naruto what is that project you are working on anyway?" Asked Gaara trying to break the silence.

Naruto grinned "All I can tell you is its for my patrons"

Gaara just nodded showing he understood.

"Did you find a way to help Thalia yet?" Fu asked

Naruto nods "Yes I have, but it involves going for something that her and I went after during one of our adventures. Right now though I need to go work on something in our cabins forge, I'll be done tomorrow if anyone needs me tell them I'll help them tomorrow"

They all nod as he gets up and heads towards a seal on the wall that would bring him to the forges. The forges walls and floor were made of solid obsidian. The Cellini was enchanted to look like the sky while also filtering out the smoke from the furnaces. The furnaces were lined on two walls opposite of each other, and five per wall. At the end of the room was a table where the maker could add the finishing touches on there craft.

Right now Naruto was working on a new design for a long sword he had thought of. It was a mix of two metals, Celestial bronze and Chaos metal. Each very powerful tools in there own right, but together would make the desired effects more powerful. The problem with doing so is that combining the two metals could cause… undesired effects if it's combined wrong. What he wanted to do was get the final version he wanted of the sword, then he would heat it up slightly to engrave some seals into the sword.

Naruto learned while not having chakra, (unless there a child of the big three or go through a certain process) demigods did have a aura which is like chakra, but different. Naruto was planing on making a weapon for each of his friends before the summer is out, and he almost has Andromeda's done. Next would be Annabeth then Silena.

When Andromeda's sword was done he'd have to let her decide how she wants to have it as a sealed state, but the sword would give her some more abilities. One of them would increase her water manipulation to the point were she could draw it out of the air. This would also help her know how it feels, so she could eventually learn to do it without the sword. Though that would take a few years maybe more he believed she could do it. There are more abilities, but those are surprises.

After night ends and it turns to day Naruto finishes Andromeda's sword, and was able to start working on Annabeth's when he decided it was time for a break. When he went back to his cabin. What he found surprised him a little. There in his cabin was Clarisse and Silena with some bags at there feet most likely waiting for him.

"So what is it you ladies might need my help with?" He asked scaring them in the process.

"Don't do that!" Silena yelled at him

After they both calmed down Clarisse spoke up "I received a quest last night to retrieve the Golden Fleece from the sea of monsters, and I decided to bring you and Silena"

"Hmm I'm guessing we're leaving today by the looks of things. I'll just leave a clone here in case something happens then. Ok if you already have a way to get there then lets go I'm already packed" Naruto said pointing at a seal on his sleeve

Clarisse nods "I already have a way to get there. My father gave me a old civil war ship to sail there"

They all head outside to the ship, and Sarutobi is there to see them off. "I wish the three of you the best of luck on you're journey. I only wish that I had more time to help you three improve"

Naruto smiles "It's alright jiji we'll be back before you know it!" Naruto said to his grandfather figure.

Sarutobi nods "Yes. Just don't do anything reckless Naruto"

"Why are you singling me out jiji.? I did nothing wrong" Naruto tried to defend himself

Sarutobi's eyebrow twitched "You taking a Chidori to the chest isn't reckless" Sarutobi asked with a smirk

The girls look at him with confusion while Naruto's shoulders slump. "You know that it had to be done to change Sasuke's views on life" Naruto grumbled

Sarutobi shakes his head "There were other ways, but I'll admit yours was probably the most effective"

Naruto smirks "Well we should be on our way we'll see you in a few weeks jiji" Sarutobi nods as they board the ship and set sail

From what Naruto could tell the ship was steam powered, and was run by a skeleton crew. It will probably barely get them to the sea of monsters before it breaks down, but he'll find a way to fix that. He'll have to if he wants to save Thalia.

(Hello readers I need some votes. For my NLOC fallout crossover I need to decide who will be what Naruto. Fallout New Vegas is already decided. I just need to decide if 3 or 4 will be NLOC Naruto. Now if he's not in 3 then the non NLOC one will be reincarnated into it. If the non NLOC one is in 4 he'll be transported after the shippuden valley of the end fight with some changes. It's up to you guys to decide, so vote for you're favorite. Remember that Ninja of the island is the next to be updated. So until next time have a great time.)
