Hello everyone, welcome to my first crossover fan fiction. For those of you who have read my other story, Konoha's Folly, I'd like to thank you for checking this one out. For those who came here for Naruto x Star Wars, I won't disappoint. As long as you're not expecting something as popular as the bible. Don't think there are even enough members for that. :-D

I am running an experiment as well. I'm posting this under the Crossovers section and under the regular section, so to see which gets the most views. That way, if I ever make another crossover, I'll know where to put it. Plus, when this story ends, I'll let you know, to save you the hassle.

Last thing, for those of you who were hoping for a Jedi Naruto fic, too bad. In my personal opinion, clones are much more interesting than the Jedi who command them. And the best of the clones (ARCs excluded) are commandos. Oh, last last thing. This story features a language all clone commandos know. Mando'a. For those of you who are unfamiliar don't worry. I've got you covered.

I don't own Naruto nor do I own Star Wars. I know it sucks. Now, let us begin.

Kote!
Kandosii sa kar'ta, Vode an.
Coruscanta a'den mhi, Vode an.

Translation:

Glory!
One indomitable heart, Brothers all.
We, the wrath of Coruscant, Brothers all.

-First three lines of Vode An, traditional Mandalorian song.

Modified by Jango Fett for the Republic.

Naruto looked around the corner of the hallway, spotting two men walking down the hallway. Each of the two men had a high and tight haircut and were of equal height and build. And beyond them was Naruto's objective. A door at the end of the hallway that the two men were walking to.

Naruto turned around and looked to Sasuke, a boy the same age as him with brown eyes and brown hair. Sasuke had the same high and tight hair cut as the two men. "Shikamaru and Neji in position?" he asked the other boy. Sasuke nodded.

"All right then. Let's do this." And with that Naruto and Sasuke walk silently up behind the two men, who're laughing at a joke. Naruto looks to Sasuke and nods. Sasuke returns it.

Naruto kicks the back of the knee of the man on the left, making him fall to the ground, where Naruto gets him in a headlock, choking him. And in the same instant Sasuke runs and jumps off the wall, dealing a blow to the second mans temple midair, causing him to collapse on the ground, unconscious. As Naruto finishes choking the first man Sasuke watches for anyone coming.

Naruto stands up. "Okay, give the signal."

"I know dobe." Sasuke hisses at him, hating how Naruto was ordering him around.

"Shut it teme. You wanna get caught?" Naruto hisses back, just as loudly.

Sasuke mutters under his breath and knocks on the door three times. It opens to reveal two boys, the same age as Naruto and Sasuke, the same haircut, the same build, and same face.

"Hey vode (1)," Shikamaru greeted Naruto and Sasuke. "What took you so long?"

"There were some of our vode coming here," Sasuke told him, "Unless, of course, you were planning on sharing?"

"Good point, sharing's too troublesome."

"So, you guys done yet?" Naruto asked, excited.

Neji smirked at him, "Of course, haili cetare (2)."

And with that they walked to a table with a pile of ice cream on it. They all laughed as they started to eat the ice cream. After all, they were only 9. And 18.

"To think the Aihwa bait (3) thought they could stop us!" Naruto laughed. The others joined in, their laughter echoing throughout the mess hall. It stopped when they heard the hiss of one of the doors opening.

They spun around looking at the door like guilty children. Which, in essence, they are. Expecting to see a Kaminoan, they are pleasantly surprised by what they see.

"Kal'buir (4)!" they exclaim, seeing the limping veteran walk through the white doors. Kal Skirata was the trainer for many of the clone commando units, including Shikamaru's. Kal Skirata was not a tall man. But that didn't make the touch of gray Mandalorian any less dangerous. His limp was caused by a Verpine shatter gun blast to his leg in his youth. It was his only hindrance.

"What are you four doing in here?" Kal asks, looking at them admonishingly.

The other three look at Shikamaru and he stares back, sighing, "We were training. This is our reward," he told the veteran, hoping he'd buy it.

One look at Kal's face and you could see he didn't buy it at all. Then his face changed. He smiled at the clones, "Then I hope you don't mind sharing some with me."

The four clones grinned back at him, and they talked and laughed and ate until even the clones usually insatiable appetite was beaten. And when they left, stealthily jogging back to their bunks, Skirata walked through the hallway to the still unconscious clone troopers. The old Mandalorian veteran sighed to himself, these boys are either going to turn out great, or get themselves killed.

The next morning

A clone commander's voice woke up Naruto and his group. "All commandoes, report to hangar bay 07. Immediately."

Naruto groaned as he got out of his bunk, sliding down to the ground next to Sasuke. He groaned again as he pulled on his black suit that clung to his body like flypaper. And then he groaned again as he started putting on his armor.

Sasuke hit him in the back of the head. "Stop groaning and put on your beskar'gam (5) already, the rest of us are already done."

Naruto looked up and saw that Sasuke was right, they all had they're armor on, Sasuke with his black detailing, Shikamaru with his navy blue, and Neji with his red detailing. Naruto hurriedly put on his own orange detailed armor.

"Do I need my buy'ce (6)?" Naruto asked, looking at the other three. They looked at each other. Then back at him. "What do you think di'kut (7)?" Shikamaru asked. They didn't have helmets on.

"Guess not." Naruto tucked his helmet under his arm like the others and followed them out. They fell in line behind their brother commandoes. When they reached hangar 07 they found one of their brethren waiting there for them, a holo-chart behind him. It showed Geonosis. The clone waited until all of his commandoes had arrived.

"All right boys, the moment you've been training for has finally arrived. It's finally time for war. The battle ground is to be Geonosis. From what we can tell, the normal troopers will be running a rescue mission of the Jedi already there, before engaging the beskar'ad (8). Dismissed!"

The commandoes moved to the waiting "Larties", the clones nickname for the Low Altitude Assault Transport, AKA the LAAT. Naruto looked around at the other clones, wishing his brothers a silent good luck.

K'oyacyi (9) my brothers, he thought to each of them.

"Naruto, hurry up." Neji told him, "You don't want to be late for your first battle do you?"

"Hell no!"

"All right Iota, buckets on!" Shikamaru shouted, his usual lazy self gone, replaced by the squad leader of Iota Squad. Iota Squad, 7th in the commando ratings, complied, eager for their first firefight. "All right everyone, after we get to the ship and reach Geonosis we're going to be heading off immediately. We'll be receiving orders on the way. All right, now let's not mess this up!"

"How could we?" Sasuke asked cockily, "We've been training for this since we were born. I just wish we didn't have to wait to get to Geonosis."

"It'll only take an hour or two, at most," Neji told him, "calm down ner vod. You don't want to get too excited."

"Yeah yeah. I know."

"All right, stop talking and check your Deece's. I want them ready for battle before we even come out of hyperspace above Geonosis." Shikamaru ordered, checking his own DC-17 Interchangeable Weapon System, which was in its sniper rifle mode.

The other three commandos checked their own DC's, making sure that their weapons wouldn't jam in their first real fight. They all looked up and nodded at the same time. They stood in silence as they LAAT rose through the Kaminoan storm. Naruto decided to break the ice. "So Shikamaru, what's the plan?"

Shikamaru turned his helmeted head to Naruto. To anyone else the commando would've have looked intimidating at the least. But to Naruto it was more like Shikamaru's second face, just like his armor was his second skin.

"We're going to have to split up," Shikamaru answered after a pause, obvious to his brothers that he was just getting the orders himself, "There are multiple droid factories down on Geonosis and so we've been sent to disable one of them. After we split up we are to lead a few squads of clones into them. Then we meet up and shut down the factory."

"Why the other squads? We'd be able to infiltrate in no time," Sasuke groaned, causing the other two to nod in agreement.

"Because, our mission is to disable the factory, not destroy it. From what I can tell, the Jedi want as much information on the droids we'll be facing. Once we disable the factory the troopers will occupy it after we leave." Shikamaru told his team, grasping onto one of the LAAT's bars as the craft started to land on the Acclamator-class assault ship.

The triangular transport ship was one of the most common ships to the clones. As they stepped on board they immediately knew exactly where they were. They just didn't know where they wanted to be. The other three inevitably looked to Shikamaru, who sighed and started walking out of the hangar, his squad, and other confused commando squads, trailing behind him. A few minutes later they passed by a couple of regular troopers.

The troopers stared obviously, even those with helmets on, and started talking in hushed whispers as they saw 12 commandoes walking past them, seemingly knowing exactly where they were going. The commandoes ignored the whispered words of awe coming from the troopers as they walked away. They ended up in a gym in the ship.

As soon as the doors closed Naruto burst out into laughter, drawing the attention of all the other commandoes. As his laughter bounded through the gym the others joined in- except for four. These four looked at them, heads tilted ever so slightly.

"Those troopers couldn't have been more obvious!" One of the commandoes half yelled, laughing hard.

"Yeah, Taler, I half expected them to ask for an autograph!" another said. This stops Iota squad in its tracks.

"Taler?" Sasuke asks, "As in leader of Theta squad?"

Taler turns to Sasuke, taking off his helmet, "Yeah, who're you guys?"

"We're Iota squad," Sasuke tells them, taking off his own helmet. "It's good to see you again."

"Likewise ner vod. So which squad are you all?" Taler asks, turning to the so far silent squad.

One of the squad walks forward, wearing orange commando armor. "The name's Boss, and we're Delta squad."

Naruto, helmet off, looks at Boss questioningly, "Delta squad? Never heard of ya. Who was your Cuy'val Dar (10)?"

This time the one with red detailing going across his helmet to the right. "The best, Walon Vau."

8 commandoes look at him like he's insane. "Are you nuts?" Neji asks, honestly thinking the red one's stupid, "Skirata was definitely the best."

The green one just chuckles, shaking his head. Naruto, getting a little angry at the green one, prepares to say something, before being interrupted by the intercom.

"ALL TROOPS MOVE TO DESIGNATED LAUNCH LOCATIONS. REPEAT, ALL TROOPS MOVE TO DESIGNATED LAUNCH LOCATIONS." The commandoes look at each other instantly putting on their helmets. Boss looks towards his squad and signals to them. He faces the other 2 squads as his men walk towards the door. "Well, looks like we'll have to finish this another time. Good luck."

Shikamaru and Taler nod to Boss and his squad, "Good luck, Delta." Shikamaru calls out.

The yellow one looks over his shoulder, "We won't need it."

They stare at the yellow ones receding form before turning to the others and saying, "Kaysh mirsh solus (11)." The other clones laugh at this before nodding to each other and going their separate ways.

Naruto turns to one of the clones of Theta as they start walking away. "Hey ner vod, K'oyacyi. Darman right?"

The clone nods, "Yeah, you?"

"Name's Naruto."

"Well, good luck Naruto. I'll see you after this is all down with." Naruto nods and jogs over to his squad. As Naruto enters the hangar bay he splits up from his squad, following his HUDs commands. He gets in and is surprised to see over 20 clone troopers in his LAAT, who fall silent as he enters. Then he remembers what Shikamaru had told him on the ride here.

"You the commando who'll lead us to victory, right?" one of the clones says as Naruto enters the LAAT.

Naruto nods, "Yeah, and I'll make sure each of you makes it. Now, you all know the plan?"

"Yes sir!" they say simultaneously, turning wait would've been a soft sentence into a shout inside the enclosed Larty. Naruto holds his hands to the sides of his helmet in mock pain. "Let's not do that again, ok?" he says, getting a laugh out of the men.

They resume their talking as if he wasn't there. Good, now they feel at least a little comfortable around me, Naruto thinks to himself, now hopefully we can get this mission done without a hitch. He hung on to the bar of the LAAT as the ship entered the atmosphere and the Larty took off. Here we go.
