First, I want to apologize for the delay on my other stories. I recently got engaged, so, I've been busy. Also, I kinda hit a wall for my other stories. Don't fret. There will be an update or two, or maybe three for each of them. Now, for this story. I recently came across a rather good Naruto/ Star Wars cross over, Jedi Knight Naruto. A very good story, engaging and well written. As I was reading it, I wanted to do something similar. This story, if well recieved will be the most complex story I have ever done, tieing both universes together in a way no one has explored. Basically, here's a summary and the prolouge is below.
Disclaimer: No. As much as I wish I did, I don't own Naruto or Star Wars. If I owned both, I'd have to put up with annoying questions about the force and why Naruto likes orange so much. In advance, haven't got a clue.
Summary: What if one of Naruto's friends was more than she let on? What if she was the desendant of a Jedi master? What if Naruto shared a similar fate, but it being hs father was the son of a Jedi? The two will be thrown into a new world of power beyond their imagination. Together, will face what the Galaxy has to offer. But a dark storm is approaching. A Dark Lord of the Sith lies in wait. Waiting for the perfect time to strike. Will the power of Light triumph? Or will the Galaxy fall into Darkness and the Jedi purged from the galaxy?
Naruto: Force Unleashed
Prologue
Calculated Risk
The wind blew fercily across the barren planes as the final remnants of the storm dissipated in a violent way. The sky brightened as the sun finally broke through the clouds, shinning on a battlefeild littered with casualties. Bodies lay strewn, in white armor with different colored markings, some missing arms and other limbs, other missing chunks. But most were peppered by blackened holes where enemy blaster bolts had impacted. The enemy was also lying in the destruction. The initial droid assult on the Republic outpost on the core world of Airez had been stopped, barely. One figure walked calmly through the destruction, covered in a dark brown cloak. The figure marched untill he reached the Republic out post. The ten meter high duranium walls showed scorched marks of random blaster bolts gone astray. Craters littered the ground, evidence of how close the Trade Fedreation advance had come. The figure entered the base, tracked by the tower blaster turrents untill they couldn't turn anymore. The figure found himself having close to sixty blaster rifles pointed at him. A single trooper advanced forward, blue markings on his armor, his rifle trained on the cloaked man.
"Halt. Make one move and you'll be space dust."
The figure raised his hands, the troopers keeping him in their sights.
"Now why would you shoot a Jedi coming to your aide?" The figure asked.
The Trooper hesitated for a split second.
"Identify yourself."
The figure chuckled and lowered his hood to reveal a man with spiky blonde hair, cerealun eyes and three whisker marks on his face.
"Jedi Master Uzumaki. Now, please stop aiming at me."
The troopers lowered their weapons, clearly relieved as their commander lowered his own blaster and walked up to Naruto, breifly grasping his hand.
"It's good to see you, General. We're in a bad way."
Naruto nodded in the direction of the command post and the pair headed off.
"Report."
"Clankers hit us hard, sir. We lost at least two hundred, but we beat them back. The Captain, however, was hit early on. I was in command untill you arrived."
Naruto nodded and entered the structure, whose doors were jammed open.
"What's your estimate, Commander Blast?" Naruto asked calmly, facing the Trooper.
Blast sighed and looked at Naruto. The Jedi could sense the dispair that he was trying to hide.
"We won't hold out against another attack."
Naruto placed his hands on his hips and nodded grimly.
"Yes. Now. What are our options?"
The clone thought for a moment before answering.
"Purge the data banks. We have operational knowladge of what we're up against out here. The safety of the Republic is at risk."
"Very good. How long will it take?"
"Twenty minutes to purge everything and to destroy the memory core itself."
Naruto tensed before using the force to push the clone away as he lept back. A split second later, an explosion rocked the outpost and an I-beam crashed to the ground just where the clone had been. The trooper shook his head as he got back to his feat and gave Naruto a curt nod.
"You'd better get started."
Naruto threw off his clock and spun around and sprinted out the door. Blast didn't hesitate as he headed off to the memory core.

"Droids! We got Droids!" A clone screamed as his fellows hastily rushed to the wall and began taking positions.
The compound was built into a cliff face, meaing only one direction the enemy could come. The Clones quickly prepared for the attack, several loading fresh energy packs into their blasters, others already aiming downrange. Naruto lept up onto the wall and looked grimly out over the oncoming enemy. Thousands upon thousands of droids rushed at them. He knew that they wouldn't risk artilery, since they didn't want to destroy the core. It was a last desperate stand for the Republic forces.
"Stand by on the towers! All units, take position. Two-Five, I want your snipers in position." A clone officer ordered over his com link.
"Contacts! Lots of Contacts!" A Trooper screamed, panicing at the sheer number of enemies facing them.
"Keep it together, trooper!" A Clone Sargeant ordered leveling his own rifle.
"Check your line of fire. Just remember your training and you'll be fine." Naruto ordered over the com, pulling his saber off his belt.
With a snaphiss, the orange blade came to life as he called upon the force. A particularly gruff Sargeant eyed the droids with distaste and hate. Naruto could sense that.
"Fire when ready." He said calmly, eyeing the sea of steel threatening to drowned them.
No sooner had he said that than the clones opened up, sending a steady stream of blue energy bolts flying at the droids, slamming into the first wave, sizzling through their armor. Naruto deflected several blaster bolts as the droids still approached, undaunted by the hellish barrage the clones were pouring in them. He watched as one trooper stopped firing, tracking targets with his rifle. The fear was evident in this green horn. This clone hadn't experianced any combat like this before he had gotten here. Naruto would bet five hundred credits that the clone was fresh from the breeding tanks. If he had five hundred credits.
"There's too many Sarge!"
Sarge grabbed the trooper by the front of his armor and yanked him forward, until they were visor to visor.
"Don't even think about it trooper. Now. Shoulder you weapon." He said, pushing the trooper away.
The clone shook his head and backed a few feet away. Naruto could sense the anger from Sarge as he fired as few rounds at a droid trying to climb the wall. It fell backwards, sparking as it's fellows stepped on and over it.
"Thermal dets!" A clone called out, dropping a few detonators over the wall into the mass of droids.
Several booms resounded through the valley as droid parts flew into the air. The troopers had a momentairy break as dust blocked them from veiw. It was short lived as the droids opened fire. Naruto watched two clones take hits and fall. He could sense the dispair as the Republic forces were being cut down to half. They'd lost the towers and most of the wall. Naruto deflected a blaster round back at the mass of droids.
"Shoulder your kriffing weapon. Now." Sarge growled at the trooper.
Naruto heard the gulp as the trooper complied. A moment later, he began opening fire. Naruto wished he could do more to help, but his chakra was too low for any of his ninja techniques, and he had to admit, his stamina was being put to the test. An explosion rocked the compound. He cursed fate. The droids had managed to punch a hole in the wall.
"Fall back to the compound!" Naruto yelled, leaping to the hole.
The Clones readily followed his command and began to pull back into the safety of the facility. Naruto mean while, was an orange and yellow blur as he hacked and sliced through the droids as they tried to enter the compound.
"Don't think so, bastards." He said, using a reverse grip to bring down a SBD that had tried to smash his head open.
The droid shuddered as it fell over, a sizzling hole in his chest. Naruto looked up and saw something he'd rather not have seen. General Greivous was walking toward the base, a lightsaber in each hand, meaning four blades.
"Ah damn. Quickly. Get in side!" Naruto ordered frantically, deflecting bolts as he slowly made his way to the tunnel.
The Clones valiantly tried to hold their positions, but were failing. Only a dozen clones were unwounded. The others were either dead or dying. Nothing could be done. Naruto watched as Sarge calmly hefted a repeating blaster cannon with both hands. One on the trigger, the other gripping the sights. He let lose with a nightmarish barrage as Naruto and himself slowly retreated into the building. Naruto took one last glance at Greivous and gave him the finger before yanking a protesting clone inside the outpost entrance. Enormous blast doors slammed down moments later.

Hyuuga Hinata gripped the railing of the New Hope as the Victory II class Star Destroyer was rocked by another violent barrage of turbolaser fire from the enemy fleet. Looking out the veiwscreen, she could see starfighters, dancing intricatly, flashed of green and red followed by silent explosions. Capital ships moved gracfully through the vaccum, turbolasers flashing as they exchanged hellish barrages. Through the Force, Hinata could sense the fear from her crew as they fought to just stay in the fight. Hinata used her power and generated a sense of calmness. Mistakes were made when fear is involved. She took a deep breath and returned her attention to the battle. The Captain of the vessel, the first clone captain looked at his display grimly.
"We've lost the last of the port batteries. Engine on is down. Two and three aren't to far behind. AC-130 squadrans are almost wiped out. Ma'am, we're outnumbered here. And we're lossing." The Captain said, looking back to Hinata.
The Jedi was about to argue the point when a frantic call came over the com.
"This is the Indomitable. We're lossing structual integrity and we-"
The voice was cut off. Hinata and the captain quickly looked up and saw the ship in question. The Indomitable's hull seemed to expand as her core went nova. In an instant flash of light, the vessel vaporized itself. Hinata bowed her head for a moment before looking back at the battle. She hated to do this. She didn't want to leave him, but she knew she had too. She also knew he'd survive.
"Captain, order all ships to retreat from this system. Tell them to rally at Coruscant."
"Aye Ma'am. But what of our ground forces?"
"They'll be fine. Besides, he's with them."
The clone grinned as his subordinants hurried to comply with the order.
"All those droids against him? They don't stand a chance."
"I hope you mean the droids."
The captain chuckled as the ship came about and began the final prep for engaging the Hyperdrive.
"That man couldn't lose even if he wanted to. He'll win."
Hinata nodded and walked to the hatch before stopping. She placed a hand on the bulkhead and spoke, not even turning around.
"For the Republic's sake, I hope your right."
Without looking back, she left the bridge, leting the doors shut with a gentle hiss. Moments later, the ship surged forward, vanishing into the darkness of space.
So? How was it? Any and all intelligant reviews are welcome. I want to know specifics to help me if I do continue the story. And don't worry, I'll be doing more reseach on what's needed, so for the lack of details on weapons and ships and stuff, expect that next chapter. George and me aren't speaking. At all. So blame Mr Lucas. He's a bit stingy and doesn't like being called that. Stupid flannel.
