This is Narutos path, one to create a new order.

1. The Beginning

A Destiny Among The Stars

I don't own Naruto or Star Wars

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

As a young child i used to stare at the stars for hours, just imaging what was up there? Just what was beyond that great veil of darkness? I bet from there all the problems the worries of today seem so... insignificant. I knew i was destined for more then what i was being offered. What i was forced to accept. The chains i was bound in.

I dreamed of escaping this village and going into the night sky, escaping all my problems. I dreamed of a place where I could be truly accepted and not hated. I dreamed of a better tomorrow, to escape the pain of today.

But what came, what happened to me was something I never saw coming. How could I have? I was just a boy who loved the night sky, and was comforted by it even in the darkness of my village.

[ Hidden Leaf Village ] [ Naruto Age 6 ] [ Outskirts of Hidden Leaf ]

A boy dressed in a dirty torn up white T shirt, black shorts that went to his knees, and blue ninja sandals walked through the forest trees on the edge of the village. His hands were in his pockets with a large frown on his face. "Stupid villagers, stupid village." He muttered as he kicked a rock forward.

"Stupid villagers thinking it was funny to throw tomatoes and other stuff at me today. Those assholes!" He thought to himself. He luckily managed to dodge them and escape. He was just tired of the constant harassment, and the fact that no one ever lifted a finger to help him, not even the old man. He just always frowned and said things will get better. Even though they both knew it wouldn't.

Well as of this moment they weren't getting any better. He growled and kicked the rock as hard as he could, losing it among the trees. He stomped his food down. Before he felt the ground shake underneath him. He looked down as the ground collapsed around him. His last thought as he fell was could this day get any worse?

He woke up in darkness, his knees were sore. As he rubbed his eyes, squinting as his eyes slowly adjusted to the dark. Looking up, he tried to see if he could try to climb out, only to realize that the hole was gone. He sighed and put his hand towards the nearest wall. Feeling it, he noticed the walls were damp and cold. Walking forward, he noticing a small light in the distance. Approaching the light, he frowned as it seemed to get farther away. What? He increased the pace of his walking.

The light disappeared as he felt the ground change from gravel to something else? He knelt down touching his hand to the ground and to his surprise it was metal? It was freezing cold. He stood up and walked forward putting his hand against the wall noticing the walls were now metal to? He followed the wall and saw a small blue light but before he could get near it, something pierced his neck. He collapsed to the ground immediately.

The boy was picked up and put on a metal table before being strapped down. Glowing red eyes shined in the darkness, as needle after needle pierced the boys skin. A shadowy figure entered the room, hidden by the darkness.

"Tell me of the progress of the experiments when you are done. He is the first human we've seen in hundreds of years, don't mess this up." The figure slowly faded away. The droid hidden in darkness worked for hours without rest.

Two days went by this way. Injection after injection, filling the boys body with chemicals and other various things while also checking the boys body. It had found something interesting their seemed to be a organ system in the boy it had never seen before. It seemed to course all through the boy? The droid didn't know what to make of this.

Another week passed by, when the shadowed figure came back. "Is the boy still alive? How have the experiments gone?"

The droids red eyes shined for a moment before it spoke. "All the experiments have been successful even merging and binding better then we could have hoped for. The boy has an unnatural healing ability. I'm not sure if just him or if his whole race is like this, I don't have enough information to go off of. But there seems to be an odd system that I've never seen in another creature. It runs all through the body, with small little nodes all over the body. The system has some kind of energy flowing all through it as well."

The figure moved closer hidden by darkness. "Show me it on the X-ray." The droid turned on the machine as a blue light hummed into existence on a screen. The droid moved the scanner over the boys body showing the figure the system. "How fascinating... It seems to be generating some kind of power. Leave your reports of the experiment out, now turn on all the lights the boy will be up soon."

The droid nodded, as lights flared on around the ship. The figure was cloaked in darkness still showing nothing but glowing green eyes. They sat in a small medical room the boy on a medical table. Medical devices and other such things surrounded them.

Naruto groggily woke up. He rubbed his eyes as he the light stung. His eyes suddenly focused on the shadowed figure to his left. "Ahhh! What the hell are you!" Naruto pointed out yelling at the figure.

The figure's head titled to the side. "What do you mean?" The voice was deep, and full of strength.

"You're a ghost!" Narutos face turned pale white as he hid behind the medical table.

"Oh, are you frightened by the darkness?" Narutos head rapidly moved up and down. The darkness soon left the figure. He was tall standing at an even 6'2 with piercing green eyes, that had completely black irises. His skin was tan and covered in scars. He had black hair that reached his shoulders with streaks of grey in it. The front of his hair was slicked back. He had a large grey goatee that covered his lips. His body was still covered in the darkness from before only showing his neck up and his hands. "Is this better?" The middle aged man asked, as he sat in a chair.

Naruto nodded as climbed back onto the table. "Where am i mister?"

The man was looking through the reports as he spoke. "You're on my ship."

Naruto's face tightened into confusion. "How did you get a ship all the way here? We're not even near water?"

The man laughed at the boys question. "No not that kind of ship. This ship goes into space. Not on the water."

Naruto's face lit up excitement. "You mean you can go into space! How is that possible!"

The man continued to read before he spoke. "How about we play a game, you ask me a question and I'll answer it, then you'll do the same. Deal?" Naruto nodded enthusiastically. "This ship uses generators to power itself to be able to fly. Now for you to answer my question. Where are we?"

The boy grinned at him. "We're in the hidden Leaf Village! The strongest ninja village in the world!"

The man's raised a brow curiously at his enthusiastic outburst. "Did you say Ninja?"

Naruto nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah! Their so cool! They use jutsu that can breathe fire and can cut trees in half!"

The man's eyes widened. Those were quite amazing feats. Recalling what the droid had said about an 'odd system', he pursed his lips before asking his next question. "How do they accomplish these feats of ability?"

"That's simple, they use Chakra!" Naruto was so happy to be actually talking to someone who was nice to him that he had quickly forgotten about the game. The man put the report on his lap as he looked at the boy. "What is this Chakra you speak of?"

Naruto's eyes widened. "Everyone knows what Chakra is mister! Its um... its uh... OH it's the energy that comes from our bodies to let us use Justu!"

The man looked Naruto over quickly. "Can you demonstrate this "Chakra" you speak of?"

Naruto grinned widely as he put his together and channeled as much of his chakra as he could. Blue energy flared from his body, as the mans eyes widened in surprise. He reached out and tried touching the energy only for his hand to go right through it.

"Hmm the energy seems to have the properties of both a gas and a liquid. Its flowing around the boy seeming in a liquified state but the second i try touching it collapses into a gas." The man thought to himself as Naruto stopped sweat

How fascinating. You seem to be quite strong for your age." Naruto blushed and rubbed the back of his head. "Do you have any dreams?" The man questioned.

Naruto looked down at his hands before he clenched them. "I want to be strong. Strong enough were everyone has to respect me!" He grinned softly.

"If you want i could teach you. I could show you something that is even stronger then this Chakra you showed me." The mans eyes flashed for a moment, from blue to yellow in a second.

"Something even stronger then Chakra! What is it!?" Naruto got off the table and grinned at him.

"It's called the Force. Its seemingly fundamentally different from your Chakra. While Chakra comes from your body, the force comes from outside your body. Following from every single living thing in the universe, through the Force we are all connected. Grab my hand and I'll show you a fraction of the infinite power of the Force."

Naruto hesitantly reached out for his hand and the moment he touched it everything changed. He could feel every single villager, all the animals everything. It was incredible, he felt so connected to everything. Then the man took back his hand and it was gone.

"I can show you how to do that. I can show you so much more than that. I can help you transcend into something greater than your world has ever seen." The man stood up his green eyes flashing once again. "What is your name?"

Naruto looked down at the floor before looking up. His voice was soft and quiet, but filled with an almost solemn determination. "It's Naruto Uzumaki."

"Well then Naruto Uzumaki lets make you a legend?" His lowered his hand to the boy, for a handshake. Naruto grabbed his hand and shook it. "From this moment on you are the apprentice of Darth Gravid." Naruto smiled at him.

[ 6 Months Later ] [ Academy First Day ] [ August 21st ]

Iruka smiled at the classroom full of happy kids. Each excited for the future, the path that had begun today. His class was destined for greatness, there hadn't been so many clan heirs in a class since the 4th Hokage walked through these halls.

He was just about to start as a child flew through the door of the classroom tumbling in. The kid had long spiky blonde hair that reached his shoulders, with piercing blue eyes. He was wearing a sleeveless black t shirt, with blue anbu styled pants and ninja sandals. He had bandages rapped all around his arms going to his shoulders. He had a wide grin on his face. "Am i late?" The bell rung just after he said that. He grinned and ran to the back of the hall taking a seat next to Shikamaru.

"That was Naruto Uzumaki, that boy. I wonder if he's as bad as people say." Iruka frowned and started his lesson. He started with Chakra what it was made up of and how it was important to the ninja. A month ago the students all had their Chakra unlocked well most the clan heirs and Naruto already had theirs unlocked. His apparently had been unlocked his whole life.

"Can anyone tell me what the first Hokage was famous for?" A few hands shot up but to his surprise all the way in the back was Naruto's hand. "Um yes Naruto?"

Naruto stood up grinning. "The 1st Hokage was famous for not only his Wood Style Justu that so far only he has been able to use, but also the foundation of this village and the defeat of Madara Uchiha." Naruto sat back down a grin on his face.

"Yes thats perfect good job Naruto!" Iruka grinned at the boy. "Maybe he wasn't going going to be as bad as he thought." He continued with the lesson.

The bell rang for lunch as the kids ran out of the classroom towards the playground. Iruka watched Naruto as he pulled out a small black leather bound book from his back pocket and ran outside. "Hmm I wonder what he's reading?"

Shikamaru was not having a good day. Not only did he have to wake up super early today, but he was sitting next to the most energetic person he's ever met. Who was trying so hard it was making him look bad. He went and laid under a large oak tree on the playground under the shade while looking at clouds.

"What are ya doin?" A voice called out to him, he ignored it. He closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep. A finger poked into his head a moment later.

"Oww." He groaned as he rubbed his head sitting up against the tree.

Naruto sat next to him grinning. "You should have answered me the first time."

Shikamaru just grumbled under his breath. Shikamaru went back to looking at the clouds. Before Naruto could ask him Shikamaru answered his previous question. "I'm watching the clouds."

Shikamaru could see the questions ran through Naruto's head, though he eventually settled on the simplest one. "Why?"

"Because clouds get to do whatever they want. Just go with the flow never being bothered." Shikamaru said frowning.

Naruto kneeled and looked up at the clouds in the hot summer day, his face scrunched up in bemused confusion. "That sounds boring to me. Wanting to be a cloud."

"Why?" Shikamaru asked as he glared at him softly.

"Because thats it you just float along endlessly. You can't ever do anything with your life, like becoming a hero! Or doing something great saving someones life! You'd just float forever by yourself, it sounds lonely to me." He grinned at Shikamaru.

He smiled at Naruto. "Maybe you're right a little bit. But then you'd have no problems no worries."

Naruto shook his head. He reached his hand out towards them. "But then you wouldn't feel anything, right? I mean you grow through problems and worries are just a part of life."

They debated for the rest of lunch and during class as well. They walked out of school still talking about it. They stood at the gates of the school. Before going their separate ways. Naruto stopped and yelled at him. "Hey my name is Naruto Uzumaki! Let's be friends!"

Shikamaru just kept walking. "Sure." He said and Naruto beamed as he left.

Naruto had made his first friend, and his eventual best friend.

The first year of the academy came and went. The class had showed major promise and to the surprise of many Naruto Uzumaki was the 3rd highest ranked student. Having led the class in all things academic but was behind in a few subjects including Chakra control, and target practice. Iruka scanned over the rankings for the class, mainly just the top ten.

1: Sasuke Uchiha

2: Shino Aburame

3: Naruto Uzumaki

4: Sakura Haruno

5: Shikamaru Nara

6: Hinata Hyuga

7: Ino Yamanaka

8: Choji Akimichi

9: Kiba Inuzuka

10: Ami

Iruka smiled at the few surprises, Shikamaru and Naruto both being the biggest. Shikamarus own father thought he was lying when he told him the news of his son ranking 5th. He sent out the grades and with that year one was over. The first year was mainly introducing topics getting to know their Chakra, some history and a couple of other things. He grinned he was excited for year to.

[ Caves Below Leaf Village ]

Naruto kneeled in front of his Master. His master stood in front of him in the darkness of the caves. "You ranked third? Good job, remember if you rank first it will raise to many questions. Your academics can be explained but physical skill would make others to suspicious. But I am proud of you." His master moved through the cave.

"Have you figured out a way to repair the ship master?" Naruto asked with his head down.

"No I have not, but I can feel that I will soon find a way." Naruto grinned at that, though he schooled his expression as Gravid turned to continue speaking to him. "Does your teacher suspect anything?"

"Not at all master, his feelings for me get in the way of that. He emphasizes with me, I remind him of his young self."

His master nodded back and forth. "Lets continue your training."

"As you wish master." Naruto grinned as he stood. "Um…may I ask a question master?"

"You know I encourage such things. Ask my apprentice."

Naruto looked around, motioning idly to the ship around them. "How did you end up here?"

His master rubbed his goatee before speaking. "I hired a crew to take me far into the Outer Rim using a forgotten ship. For reason's I do not know, they kept going into uncharted territory. Then after we made it deep into uncharted territory a shockwave erupted from the planet that caused us to crash, the crew died on impact and I have been here since."

"How long ago was that?" Naruto asked curiously.

"I don't exactly know I would have to estimate over a couple hundred years." Before Naruto could speak he was force pushed away. "Enough questions for now. Let us begin."

[ Hidden Leaf Village ] [ Age 11 ]

"Are you serious that little brat and his friend are a part of a two-man team?" A villager hissed to another. "Yeah! How could the Hokage allow this to happen! He's making that little demon to strong!" The group of villagers nodded. "And he's even gone as far as corrupting the Nara Heir! That poor boy!"

Since the first day of the academy Shikamaru had changed drastically. While still mostly lazy, he was more focused on a goal than ever. He had even placed second in their class. He was already being considered a true prodigy among the village and his clan alike. Shikamaru had changed his outfit to look more like a ninja then what he had previously wore. He now wore a long sleeved black T Shirt under a blue combat vest that was modeled after the Chunin's. He had a long knife strapped to his right arm, and wore black anbu styled pants with blue ninja sandals. Shikamarus headband was wrapped lazily around his left arm.

Much to the villagers' displeasure Naruto was also being hailed as prodigy much to everyones surprise an intellectual prodigy. He was the top academic student every year and had set record breaking scores in all his classes. If it wasn't for the clone justu, Naruto would have been a favorite for Rookie Of The Year but had settled for third. He and Shikamaru had also formed an unshakable bond and were as close as brothers. Having been best friends since their first day at the academy, but to most people's surprise Naruto called the shots out of the two of them. Naruto now wore a black long sleeved shirt with a fall orange leaf on the back of it. He wore dark red anbu styled pants with black combat boots. Narutos headband was wrapped around his neck. They were walking to training ground seven to meet their Sensei.

Sasuke was also offered to graduate early but he turned it down for some reason. So Shikamaru and Naruto has formed the first ever two man Genin team. "Troublesome I can't believe you made me graduate early. You've made my parents expect unrealistic things from me."

Naruto slung his arm around his shoulders and grinned. "Shut up. We're the best of the best. Lets enjoy it before we get the shit kicked out of us okay?"

Shikamaru just sighed. The was still going to be so troublesome.

They made it to clearing as another team sat on a bridge. There on the bridge sat other Genin who graduated this year. "Hey!" Naruto called out to them as he ran over to Tenten. Who grinned at him waving at him. "It's been a while Tenten, how're things going. You guys meet your Sensei yet?" He leaned on the rails of the small red bridge.

She nodded her head. "Yeah he's this huge guy who dresses in this green body suit, let's just say it's a sight you'll never unsee. Hey Shika." He just nodded to her.

Lee joined the conversation almost immediately. "I can't believe it's true that you guys graduated early! That's crazy, especially from what people were saying of Shikamaru before." Naruto and Tenten grinned at that. Neji just glared at them both before looking away.

The Sensei of team nine appeared in a whirlwind of leaves in front of the bridge, with another man with grey gravity defying hair and a face mask. "Hello my youthful students! It is i Might Guy!" He struck a pose as Lees eyes shinned with amazement. "This man with me is Kakashi Hatake my eternal rival." Guy stuck his thumb out as his teeth shined.

Kakashi just coughed. "Well as you know there is another test." The five students nodded to this. "Now follow me so we can begin."

The five Genin plus Guy followed Kakashi to a clearing with three wooden stumps. Kakashi reached into his weapons pouch and pulled out three bells. "There are three bells are for three ninja. The whole two-man squad was a lie to lure you into a false sense of security. Just because you two managed to graduate early doesn't mean anything. You two will be fighting the others for a spot on our squad. You can go about getting these bells however you want but if you don't come with the intent to kill." He paused for a moment before eye smiling at them. "Then you'll never pass." A huge wave of killing intent hit them after that. Forcing the students to double over, as sweat ran down their foreheads. The pressure was unbearable, it felt like the gravity around them had increased tenfold. "Begin." Guy stood leaning against a tree watching the test unfold.

Kakashi pulled out his book and quickly started to read it. He ducked under a kick and blocked a punch with his forearm. Naruto grinned at him as a shadow shot out towards Kakashi who grabbed Naruto with his open hand and threw him at Shikamaru. They collided and fell on the ground. Naruto pulled Shikamaru up and smirked. Not nearly as bad a start as it could've been, but it could've gone better.

"Let's go with plan 12 okay?" Shikamaru said as he Naruto ran forward.

Naruto dug into his pouch instantly throwing ten kunia at Kakashi. Kakashi dodged most of them and caught four of them with his open hand, he instantly saw Shikamarus shadow shoot at him as he jumped away. Throwing the kunia at Shikamaru who dodged. Kakashi heard a slight hissing sound as he turned his head and saw three kunai with explosive tags flying at him.

Shards of wood came from the explosion flying all over the clearing. A minute or two passed as Naruto came out from the trees. He jumped over to were Shikamaru was. "Dammit we didn't get him, let's try plan 4 when we see him next."

Kakashi appeared between the two of them in a swirl of leafs reading his book. "First lesson Taijustu." His fist slammed into Naruto's hastily put up guard as he flew away. His book was not in hand anymore as Shikamaru threw a kunai with an explosive tag down as Kakashi's eyes widened. He jumped away only for it explode into a flash of light. "Shit flashbang." He growled out.

Naruto drove his fist into Kakashi's side only for it to pop into smoke. His smirk instantly turned into a frown. He looked over to see only Shikamaru's head above the ground. "Jump!" Naruto jumped into the air as Kakashi flew up from the ground barely missing his ankle.

Kakashi was eyeing the two boys warily. "So far the reports on his fighting ability have been wrong, his aim is dead on and has great instincts. That and his teamwork with Shikamaru's is a deadly thing. Can't let my guard down."

Naruto smiled as he readied a fighting stance. "Looks like we got you to put away your book Sensei! Now get ready for this!"

Naruto ran forward charging wildly at him. Just as Kakashi was about to hit him his fist shattered a log. He instantly turned around to block a fist as Naruto switched spots with a log again. Kunia suddenly fired from all directions explosive tags on a few. Kakashi jumped up as Lee appeared in front of him kicking his leg into his guard sending him back to the ground. He jumped back in time to dodge the explosives.

Suddenly, Lee, not Naruto, landed in front of him, grinning enthusiastically as he engaged Kakashi by Naruto's side. He had completely forgotten about the other three students. His eyes widened as he realized what happened.

"The moment I lost sight of Naruto he went and got the other two, maybe three to join him in his plan."

His eye narrowed as Lee rushed him with Naruto. He ducked and weaved through their punched and kicks. While also dodging Shikamaru's shadow and the second he tried to create distance Kunai would be thrown at him by Tenten.

"Naruto must have dug him out." He thought as he weaved through their punches but was slowly being pushed back. "Their leading me somewhere but where?"

Naruto and Lee instantly backed off as Neji appeared from the trees fingers blazing with Chakra. He attacked rapidly as Kakashi dodged just enough then he suddenly couldn't move anymore, his eyes instantly widened as he looked back to see Shikamaru's shadow had went around the trees to come behind him. While he could easily break out of the binding, he felt he'd seen enough, and so stood there, awaiting their approach.

Neji immediately stopped, as he took the bells and passed one to Tenten who came out of the trees and one to Lee.

Naruto grinned and walked up. "Don't worry Sensei Shikamaru and I are happy to go to the reserves, we told everyone that if they worked with us we'd give them our bells."

Shikamaru released Kakashi and stood up sweat dripping from his forehead. Holding a Jonin hadn't been anything like what he'd expected, even with the extra practice and training Naruto had encouraged him to do. He was still a ways off from being as strong as he could be.

Kakashi just eye smiled. "Don't worry, I've decided it would be a real shame if you two didn't become my students so you five pass."

Shikamaru popped his neck and started talking. "The whole point of the test was teamwork right? Naruto and I figured that out pretty fast."

Kakashi immediately nodded as Guy jumped to where they were. "Ninja can't survive on their own teamwork is the most important thing I will teach you trust me. Don't let it get to your heads either that you managed to catch me I was holding back a considerable amount. I'm not an S Ranked ninja for nothing." The five students nodded. "You five are dismissed we'll see you tomorrow." The five if them each split apart and went their separate ways.

[ Caves Below Leaf Village ]

Naruto grinned as we walked through the caves that were dimly lit with torches. In a large cavern sat his master on a rock meditating. His piercing green eyes opened as he looked at his student. "So you've returned? Have you done it?"

Naruto smirked at his master. "Like you had any doubts I would pass."

His master glared at him for a moment. "Forget your arrogance. Arrogance is a fool's trait, that has led many to their downfall. You believe yourself to be powerful? Do you wish for me to remind you of how weak you are?"

Naruto sighed. "I'm sorry master, I won't let it happen again."

Gravid nodded, as he looked at Naruto. "It's fine, and understandable you are very strong for your age. Just don't let it happen again." Silence surrounded the caves for a moment as his Master looked up at caves ceiling before looking at him. "But do you remember what I first told you? About our way?"

Naruto nodded, before speaking. "Of course I do…" How could he forget? It was the first, and possibly the most important lesson his master had taught him.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[ Naruto Age 6 ] [ Caves Below Leaf Village ]

Darth Gravid and Naruto sat in meditative positions. It had been a month since Naruto had met Gravid and already unlocked his connection with the force. "Do you remember what I've told you about the Sith and the Jedi?"

Naruto's blue eyes shined in the darkness. "The Sith use the dark side or their emotions to fuel their power while the Jedi use the light side and use tranquility to fuel theirs."

His master nodded at his answer. "So master what are we Jedi or Sith?"

His master lifted his head and rubbed his goatee before speaking. "Once a long time ago I was a Sith, stronger than any other at my time. But even though I was raised and trained as a Sith, I always felt a strong connection to the light side. It eventually drove me mad, and I lost my self. Since then I've strived to emulate the example of Revan, who could use both the light and the dark masterfully. I still struggle even now with it but I believe after my centuries of meditation that I have found some balance. For what we are I do not know. My ideals have both the Sith and the Jedi ways entangled in them. Maybe you'll be the one to figure it out." His master said to the young boy. They both continued meditating.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Naruto sat in front of his master. "That we are not Sith or Jedi."

His master nodded as he closed his eyes. "We do not have the right to be arrogant, we do not possess the numbers the Jedi have or the power the Sith possess. Arrogance leads to the dark side."

Naruto nodded to his master. As Gravid watched Naruto, he hummed softly. Perhaps now…perhaps now was a good time to implement a part of his plan he'd been holding back on while he trained Naruto. Now that Naruto was part of a team he could focus more fully on getting parts and pieces of the ship repaired. However, he still needed one thing before he could do that.

"I'm going to need you do something for me Naruto." His master said as he stood, he reached for the Force as a small little black box flew into his hand. It was small fitting just in the palm of his hand and was covered in glowing red lines, it seemed to be made of some kind of metal. "I'm going to need you to give this to someone, a civilian whose body I could easily take."

"So thats your holocron master? The one that hosts your soul? How did you even do that?"

His master put the holocron in his hand before speaking. "When I started to lose myself to my madness I sealed a small part of my soul into this using Sith Alchemy, and when my apprentice slayed me the rest of it combined into it." Naruto nodded at his answer, accepting that much for now. He was insatiable when he had questions, and Gravid never failed to tease him with just enough of answers to make him eager for more. "I trust once I gain a body and leave, you'll be able to further our plans here?"

Naruto smirked at that. "Of course Master. I've already been looking into one for you." He gripped the holocron in hand and left the caves, eager to help his master's plan move forwards. Soon he'd fix the ship. Soon, they'd return to the galaxy his master had told him of, and he could see all its wonders with his own eyes.

[ 12:50 Am Leaf Village Red Light District ]

Kain Juzo stumbled out of bar, smelling of cheap booze. The man had short buzzed brown hair with dark brown eyes. He was very good looking having a sharp jaw, and having a very good build for a civilian. He wore simple brown pants and a light blue shirt. He was a young man around twenty-seven years of age. He had a large grin as he stumbled into town, before turning into an alley way. He tripped and fell over laying on the streets ground. Not noticing the lights around him disappearing. He stood up dusting his pants up and looked up to see glowing green eyes. Just as he started to scream it was already over.

Gravid frowned at the mans intoxicated state. The body was in terrible condition at the moment. Before Kain could say anything in his mind Gravid shattered his mind, before forcing the remains deep within the mind. The body was now an empty husk for Gravid to do with as he pleased. Kains eyes turned bright green as Gravid finished taking control of the body.

"Good work Naruto, this body will serve us well." Naruto appeared from the shadows sealing the holocron back onto his skin. "With this we can finally start making plans to leave this world." Gravid skimmed through Kain's memories before absorbing all of them. He turned and left his apprentice. "Remember to make your reports, I'll be sure to hire you for some work so we can communicate easier. It seems I was right as well, within a body of someone from your world I can't use the Force as effectively. I'll have to test this some more. Perhaps…" With that his master was gone.

Naruto grinned as he went back to his apartment. He had chosen that body for many reasons to his surprise that man was one of the most influential business men in the village, owning markets all over the ninja nations. He owned business from construction to exporting goods on ships and everything in between. The man was usually extremely well guarded but he had nights like these that he would go off and get piss drunk without telling anyone. Now they had the resources to fix the ship. Naruto laughed as he entered his apartment.

[ Training Ground 7 ] [ 8:30 Am ]

Naruto glanced at his teammates having been the first to arrive. Lee was practicing his Taijustu along with Tenten as Neji played shogi with Shikamaru. Guy walked out on the clearing between the trees, along with Kakashi, whose face was in between a book.

Guy called them all over. "Okay students! Today we'll begin your training but before we do that, Kakashi will explain how our squad will work." Kakashi just nodded before putting his book away and began to speak.

"The five of you will still be two separate squads but will be trained together and will take most missions together. Neji, Tenten, and Shikamaru both will have clan duties or as in Tentens case helping run her shop at times so in these cases Naruto will join the three man squad. I will be in charge of your Ninjustu, and Genjustu training while Guy will handle your Taijustu along with some fundamentals. Understand?" The five of them nodded immediately. "Our first lesson will be tree climbing, do you mind demonstrating Guy?"

Guy just nodded and walked up the tree surprising the young genin. "This is a lesson in Chakra control, and one all genin should know. You push the Chakra to your feet, and attempt to stick to the tree. It takes a precise amount of Chakra to do so, too little and you'll fall off. Too much and you'll be blown off of it. Use your kunai to mark the way."

The five genin nodded as they ran to separate trees. Guy went over to Lee immediately encouraging him in his progress. Meanwhile, Kakashi watched Naruto, eye raised curiously at what he saw.

Unlike the others who were running up the tree he only had one foot against the tree and didn't move for five minutes. Then he simply put his other foot on the tree and put his right foot back on the ground. He waited another five minutes before putting both feet on the tree and walking halfway up to the tree before jumping down. "So while the others were immediately jumping into it he just stood there and tested it with each foot. Even Shikamaru with his alleged IQ over 200 didn't think of that, just how smart are you Naruto?"

By one pm Neji, and Naruto had mastered the tree climbing method with Shikamaru close behind. To his surprise Tenten was only about halfway, and Lee was about a fourth of the way up. Guy took over the training of those three while Kakashi called over Neji and Naruto. He had them follow him to the water under the bridge. "Okay you guys now for the next exercise, water walking. It had the same principle as tree climbing but instead of having a fixed rate of Chakra it is constantly changing due to the waters not only different state of matter but also due to it constantly moving."

Kakashi stood and walked onto the water as Neji activated his bloodline and Naruto watched intently. Neji immediately walked on the water only to fall in. He sunk past his waist growling he tried again.

Naruto on the other just sat and rested his feet on top of the water for over twenty minutes before pushing himself up and standing on the water without moving. He stood there for close to half an hour before moving and meditating on top of the water. He did this for another hour as Neji almost finished the excise and could jog on top of the water but couldn't run yet. But Naruto opened his eyes and got off of the water, grinning at Kakashi. "Hmm did you complete the exercise?"

Naruto grinned cheekily at him. "But of course, it wasn't too hard."

He grinned as he walked past Kakashi, who stayed and watched as Neji finished his training. They walked back to the clearing, to find that Shikamaru had completed the exercises while Tenten was three fourths of the way up while Lee was halfway.

Guy called all the students together. "Okay that is enough Chakra control for today my youthful students! Now let's begin on Taijustu training! You will each be paired up and spared against another student for the rest of the week. Lee and Neji you are one team. Shikamaru and Tenten you are another, and Naruto you're with me!" Guy struck a pose as his teeth shined. Kakashi sat under a tree and began to read his book. "Now Neji don't disable his Chakra okay? Then go make space for each other and begin."

They others all scattered as Shikamaru loudly complained about fighting a girl, Tenten then loudly cracked her knuckles. Naruto stood in front of Guy a blank expression on his face, as he readied a fighting stance. Guy readied his own stance as he motioned for Naruto to attack. Naruto never moved from his spot, simply waiting for Guy to come to him. After a few moments Guy rushed Naruto with speed around Chunin level. He threw a punch aimed for Narutos head as he dodged it at the very last moment. Guy would attack and at the very last second Naruto would dodge. Guy suddenly lashed out with a powerful left hook, as Naruto dodged it only for guy's right leg to come up aiming at his ribs. Naruto fell flat on his back dodging the kick before thrusting his right hand into Guys ribs pushing him back. Naruto immediately got back up and readied himself.

"So thats his style, it's all about dodging at the very last moment and waiting for the opponent to grow impatient before lashing out. Which leaves them open for him to take advantage of it. The closest style I've ever seen like this was the Uchiha style, but this seems more tailored to someone without the Sharingan. The style is impressive for being obviously self-made but does have flaws, that I will expose to him." Guy thought as he flashed forward.

Naruto's eyes widened as he barely dodged Guys left fist from punching him in the ribs. Only for Guy to attack with a combo of punches each getting faster and faster. His punches started to break through Naruto's defense. Naruto frowned as Guy suddenly was getting after hit in before he could do anything to stop this a kick in the ribs sent him tumbling to the ground.

Naruto coughed as he slowly picked himself up, dusting himself off. Guy stood in front of him a wide grin on his face. "You're Taijustu style is very youthful! Against most Genin and even some Chunin it would be extremely effective but if you ever face someone faster than you the style becomes increasingly ineffective or a style that relies on unpredictability. For you to ever master that style you will have to always be faster than your opponent. Which is why i have a gift for you!" Guy suddenly pulled out of his kunia pouch, which Naruto had no idea how he fit in there, two flimsy weights.

"What help will those be? They look incredibly light." He hefted them slowly, staring at the marks written on each weight curiously.

Guy just grinned as he tossed them to Naruto who caught them in his hands. "Channel Chakra into them." Naruto quickly did so pumping a good amount in as he immediately dropped the weights which formed small craters around them. Guy picked them up and grinned at him. "These are Chakra weights and you will wear these on your ankles every day and only take them off to sleep. You will only remove them when i tell you to, for all you know these are a part of your own body." Guy immediately leaned down and put the weights on his ankles.

"For now the weights only weigh about twenty-five pounds each, i want you to run around the clearing forty times! Now begin!"

Naruto's eyes widened before he started running around the training ground. Guy went and started to instruct the other students most notably Lee. He was also pulling Tenten off of Shikamaru who she was beating into the ground with a bright smile on her face.

Kakashi watched as Naruto was barely moving faster than a jog and was already covered in sweat by the tenth lap. He called him over to him. Naruto stood in front of Kakashi panting slightly.

"A good trick to know when wearing weights is to channel Chakra to your legs, it will help reduce the weight until you get used to them." Kakashi said lazily as he pretended to read his book.

Naruto nodded before running off his speed slowly increased as he ran around the training ground, before long the others had joined him besides Neji who was sparing with Guy. Guy was instructed to not train Neji in Taijustu at all, he would only help with everything else. The most he could do was offer tips. This is how the rest of the day went, after the laps they all had to do a hundred crunches as Guy strapped weights to their forearms and chest. After that a hundred push up, pull ups and a bunch of other exercises.

Their training ended at 6 Pm, Lee stayed behind to continue working with Guy as the others left. Shikamaru went home and immediately passed out on his bed. Naruto stayed in the training ground for a few minutes meditating as he regained most of his energy. He followed Kakashi as he walked back to the village. "Hey Sensei!"

Kakashi stopped walking and looked back as Naruto ran over to him. "Yes Naruto?"

Naruto grinned up at him. Even with how exhausted and tired he was, there was a glimmer of enthusiasm that simply wouldn't fade in his eyes. "Is there any way you can help me learn some new Justu? I mean so far all I really have offensively is my Taijustu which has a ton of flaws and that's pretty much it."

Kakashi looked at him before putting his hand on his shoulder suddenly they appeared in a different training ground. A large lake stood in front of them with a brown bridge going over it, besides that there were few trees around them. "I'm going to show you three Justu, that if used correctly can be extremely effective. Now watch my hands."

Naruto grinned at him as he ran through two seals before throwing a Kunia at a nearby tree before it turned into twenty. "Multi Kunia Justu."

Naruto's eyes widened at the tree before a massive grin formed on his face. "That was awesome!"

Kakashi just eye smiled at him. "When you master the Justu you won't need to use seals anymore, the idea behind this Justu is simple just imagine your kunai splitting into however many you want as long as you have the Chakra for it the numbers are endless. You can also use this with other weapons such as Senbon. Now onto the next Justu." He slowly formed seals as five clones sprung up from the ground. "Mud Clone Justu."

"With this justu you just have to imagine molding the mud into the clones before. With this Justu as long as you have the Chakra for it you can make as many as you want. Now for the final one." He ran through two seals as he stomped his foot to the ground and mud shot up from the ground forming a wall in front of them before crumbling. "Mud Wall Justu."

"That's the last one, it's always good to know a few defensive Justu they've saved my life more than once. Now show me the seals for each Justu." Naruto nodded and ran through each of the seals, before Kakashi nodded. "Okay I'll leave the rest up to you. I expect you at least being passable by this Justu tomorrow!" He eye grinned at him as he disappeared in a tornado of leafs. He left before he could even thank him.

Naruto just smirked before starting to train. "Good i train better when I'm alone anyways." He started training immediately.

[ Three Days later ] [ Gravid's New Mansion ]

At midnight Gravid sat in a large study full of leather bound books in bookcases that touched the high ceiling. The room smelled of old wood, and ink. Gravid sat at a large redwood desk, that was covered in documents, maps and other such things. A large window was to his right that showed the majority of the village. He was wearing an outfit that hid any sign of wealth he possessed. Wearing a black T shirt with blue jeans and no shoes. He was reading through a book about seals.

The books title was "Of Seals and Me" by Shinzo Yamamoto. He was curious to see the differences between Sith Alchemy and these ninjas seals. The book was quite old and in terrible condition the book was tore all over with water damage as well. He was already over halfway through the small three-hundred-page book. It explained how to use seals, their theory, and even their history. He put the book down as he ran glanced through the business documents. "Hmm." He tapped the table in front of him before a small smirk spread on his face. He stood up and called for a servant to come to him.

The former owner of this body had immense wealth not only from old family money but he expended the family business to all over the ninja nations making him one of the richest men in the world. A servant came in to the room kneeling before him. "I would like you to send out a message to all seal masters in the ninja nations, that I will pay them handsomely for their work." The servant left as Gravid smirked plans already forming in his mind.

By the next morning early Gravid was already up on his way to meet the Hokage for a meeting. He has changed his outfit to a darkly colored kimono, that was decorated with red cherry blossoms. He had two body guards follow him to the Hokage manor. He made his way through the tower before standing before the secretary. Gravid felt something was off as he looked at the secretary he reached through the force and felt the darkside pouring off of her body, specifically her shoulder. His eyes narrowed as she waved him into the room, this women with purple hair will be worth watching. He entered the room, with the guards staying behind to see the Hokage smiling at him, but he could fee that the man was suspicious of this meeting, even though his smile betrayed nothing. Gravid shook his hand as they both sat down in their respective chairs. The Hokage folded his hands on the table and smiled at the man in front of him.

"So what brings you here today Kain." The Hokage asked politely his voice full of warmth, betraying none of his suspicions.

Gravid reached into his outfit and pulled out blue prints, handing them over to the Hokage. "I have plans to build an academy for civilians that emphasize critical thinking and a variety of subjects. From strategy to science. Of course, I'm not here about funding I'm here if I can have land next to the east side of the wall that is fairly secluded."

The Hokage leaned back as his eyes focused on Gravid's host body. "What do you hope to accomplish with this?"

Gravid smiled at the man. "I believe in doing this I can make our village even greater than before with civilians actively helping not only in warfare but improving the day to day lives of the villagers. I also have plans with my own money to upgrade certain parts of our villages infrastructure Lord Hokage."

Sarutobi pondered for a moment. "Why would he go so far to make changes in our village when before all he cared about was his own profits. This is a drastic change of character, extremely suspicious. I sense no ill will from him…and he wouldn't have much to gain from doing these besides increasing his standing in the village. Does he wish to increases his own political standing?" The Hokage thought to himself just before he started to speak Gravid beat him to it.

"I'm doing this to help the village I love, but I'm also doing this to get the civilians who are in power out of it. They're actively hurting the village then helping it with their own greed. Once i do these things and then hopefully I can become head of the Civilian Council. Letting me do this not only improves the village but will let me make a whole new Civilian Council that can actually help then be a hindrance to the village."

The Hokage reached over and lit his pipe before inhaling. "All valid points you raise, but what exactly would you help with?"

Gravid immediately smirked internally, he had caught the man in his trap. "I for one would want to improve our electrical grid the Hidden Lightings one is almost 120% more effective than our own which is simply unacceptable. Then I would like to start a school to train civilian doctors and nurses who could help in the hospital. It could potentially increase the numbers of the Leaf Villages medical staff by three-fold and would save countless lives. It would also allow more medical ninja to go out in the field. I would also like the improve all of the civilian schools, and once I am head of the Civilian Council, I'd be more capable of helping you to make the academy what it once was."

"Hmm even if this is some ploy to gain a large standing in the village the benefits out way the costs." The Hokage put his pipe down, and smiled at Gravid. "These all seem like extremely innovative project's, however, I have to ask; do you have funding or the resources to make this happen?"

Gravid smirked. "Of course I've already lined up civilian doctors and retired medical ninja who can teach at the school. I've already drawn up blue prints of a future electricity grid that would increase its efficiency by over 200% and would be up in running just over a month. I've been sending messages to great civilian scholars who can come here and teach at the civilian academies." Gravid called for one of his civilian guards who handed the Hokage a folder full of the people he's lined up and the blue print for the electric grid. The Hokage picked up his pipe and quickly looked through it all. "You can keep all of that of course. I have copies of all of it stored as safely as I can. Can't be too careful. We don't want other villages getting ahold of those yet." The Hokage nodded and kept reading.

"All these civilians are extremely well educated and the retired medical ninja were famous in their own right. Hmm what?" He thought as he inspected the blue prints further. His eyes widened, as he looked through it. "These plans are so advanced... Who created these?"

Gravid smiled softly. "I did I managed to get a copy of the Lightning Villages and added my own improvements to it. With this, blackouts will become a thing of the past." His voice was full of confidence and passion as he spoke. "My last request is I wish to open a factory in the Hidden Leaf our unemployment is at an all-time high around 32% of civilians. Leading many families to struggle in poverty with my factory we should be able to pull that number down to around 5% and then we will address that when we come to it. The profits of the factory will all go to the Leaf Village besides 5% that will go to civilians who can't work either due to physical reasons or other such things. It will also go Ninja as well who deal with the same problems."

The Hokage eyes widened as he finally understood why he was here. "You're here to change the lives of the civilians?"

Gravid nodded, before looking down at his hands and tightened his fists on his lap before looking up. "The ninja comes first in the leaf village and i understand that, but we are left to starve and penniless while the ninja always thrive I'm here to change that! I'm going to make it so all civilians can prosper, that everyone can achieve greatness and have the opportunities to do so. If you let me do this I can guarantee you that the Leaf Village will become a shining example to all other nations, and firmly prove ourselves as the greatest in these nations." He spoke with such passion that it touched Sarutobi's heart.

He smiled at Gravid. "I approve of all these measures. I will help you make this come true, i will do anything to help this village that I love so much Kain."

Gravid smiled and stood bowing his head to him. "Thank you Lord Hokage. We're going to make this village truly great."

With that turned and left leaving the Hokage to his thoughts. "Anbu watch him, i still don't trust him." An Anbu with a cat's mask came from the shadows before kneeling and nodding. The Anbu disappeared a moment later. "How interesting." Sarutobi mused as he turned and looked out the windows of his office. "Times are changing." He said softly to himself.

Sarutobi had no way of knowing just how much everything was going to change. That he had gave a man more power then he could possibly imagine.

[ One Month Later ]

In the month since their meeting the village already had changed rapidly. The power grid was finished in record time and lives in the village were changed forever. Power was now cheap and was available to everyone. Products such as TVs and things like that were selling at a record pace. A week after the grid was finished a new invention happened, a technology called a phone was released to the public. It was powered by Chakra batteries and was charged by electricity in the home. They were attached to walls in the house. They were also selling at record paces with even the ninja incorporating them not only in their life styles but in their military.

A huge factory was under construction in the abandoned part of the Uchiha district. It would create everything from weapons for Ninja to things for civilians such as TVs. All the civilian academies were being expanded that were now made free and all children were allowed to come. It taught from age five to age eighteen, while also teaching special skills such as blacksmithing to designing clothes. The medical school was also having great success so far having hundreds attend the school so far.

The crowning jewel was the School Of Knowledge it sat on the outskirts of the village and was currently being built. Hundreds had a applied with only fifty meeting the strict requirements of the school. This was where the best of the civilians would be taught. In the month since the meeting Gravid was already a favorite to win the head seat of the Civilian Council. The civilians were praising him as a hero.

Naruto kneeled in front of his master in the middle of the night. "Our plans have already progressed faster than we could have predicted master. Who would have thought the Hokage wouldn't have fought you in any of them?"

They stood in the middle of a dark forest, without any light in the distance. Gravid turned to Naruto, a smirk barely visible in the faint light from the shadows "It's because he's a fool who wishes so much for the betterment of his people that he couldn't even see what was happening."

Naruto smirked as his master's green eyes shined for a moment. "I've also discovered that, difficult as it is to use the Force in this body, it's still fairly easy to use the Force to put suggestions in the minds of the Ninja. The Hokage was the same his mind was strong, but I could easily implant thoughts or suggestions in his mind. After the the meeting I decided to study just why it was so easy to influence his mind in those minor ways and I discovered why. All mind attacks that the ninja use to break into another's mind is like using a war hammer to break through a wall. Their mind tricks are of great force not subtleness, the ninjas minds have never needed to defend against such subtle methods, making them easy for us to influence." His master said as he looked at boy.

"So does that mean he can just break his will and turn him to our side?"

Gravid shook his head as he stroked the stubble on his chin. "No because that would be to invasive, it would be of the same method the ninja use, powering through their defenses. The subtle method is all that will work on them." Naruto nodded as he thought about what Gravid said. Thinking further on their situation, Gravid glanced to Naruto. "You have a mission tomorrow correct?"

Naruto nodded before speaking. "Yes master, we're traveling to river country, to investigate some disturbances there. I –"

Before Naruto could finish speak his master raised his right hand and in a flash a man flew from the trees into his right hand holding him by the throat. Gravid looked down at the man he held. He wore the anbu uniform and had a cat's mask. "So little cat how can I help you?"

Before the Cat Anbu could move in any way he suddenly lost all feeling of his body. He couldn't even move a finger. "What have you done!" The anbu barked out at him.

"Did I say you could speak fool?" Electricity suddenly ran through the man's body, as blue lighting lit up the dark forest.

Naruto just watched in amazement, and slight fear. "Master is radiating so much darkness... He's so strong."

Gravid lifted the man to his eye level. "Now can you please inform me why your spying on me?" Spit flew from his face hitting Gravid on the cheek, he just sighed before slamming the anbu by the throat into the ground. Gravid's right hand sparked with blue electricity as his green eyes radiated a cold hatred in them. "You will speak or I'll just find every person you care about and maybe they'll tell me what I want to know fool."

The anbu just started laughing. "Go fuck yourself."

Beneath his mask his eyes widened as he was slowly lifted up off the ground floating in midair. Gravid walked around putting his hand on head. Then the Anbu felt excruciating pain like his brain was being torn apart. He screamed in pain, then it stopped. Gravid smiled at the man, it was a smile like Naruto had never seen from him it was a cruel smile twisted in pleasure in what he was doing. "So what was it Tenzo? Or should i call you Yamato? Please tell me which you prefer?"

Tenzo fell to the ground on his back as he slowly stood his upper body off the ground, hands behind him supporting him. Despite all his training, he couldn't hold back a growled as he glared up at the man. "How do you know that!?"

Gravid grinned at him. "You love your team don't you? Oh that Yugao how you wish you could have confessed your love sooner. Now you hate the man who loves her, you've even thought about killing him and grow disgusted by yourself when you think that. So much self-loathing."

All his training, all his years of experience left him in that moment. "Shut the fuck up you don't know anything!" Tenzo slowly stood up glaring at him.

"Oh but I do! I know you better than anyone else Tenzo! The hate you feel for Danzo, and the hate for the Hokage for not protecting you when you were young. You have so much hate in you Tenzo. Let me bring it out for you. Hahahahaha." His laugh was dark and cold; it was that of a being who was pure evil. A deep laugh that tore into you and made you feel empty inside. Before Tenzo could react, he was caught by Gravid again. "Let's make you live through it all, over and over. The pain you feel, the hate you feel for the others!"

Gravid used the force to show Tenzo his worst fears over and over, while electrocuting him. He forced Tenzo to watch as he killed everyone he loved as they all betrayed him, and then force a small suggestion into his mind one that would soon form all that he was.

In that moment, the thought grew stronger and stronger within him. "They're never here when I need them." As the torture got worse the thoughts grew darker. "I hate them all! They only care for themselves!" Tenzo fell to the ground, stumbling to his knees.

"Will you submit to me? And will follow all my commands or shall I break you?"

Tenzo took off his master and looked up at him, hatred in his eyes for all others. "I will follow you my Lord."

Gravid nodded, motioned for him to stand. "You will continue serving the Hokage feeding him false reports. You now serve me. Now go my little pawn." Gravid reached out with the force and healed Tenzo's worse burns before the lightning before sending him away. Tenzo put his mask on and jumped away. Then, within the moment of an exhaling of breath, all the oppressing darkness from his master left and he was back to his cool, calm collected self. "Now tell me what did you see there Naruto?"

Naruto immediately stood up from his position. "A strong use of the dark side master, you ripped all the man's knowledge out of him before turning what he cared about most into what he hates most. Then you used the force to torture him to further drive in the point that people he cared about would never come save him."

His master nodded, before speaking, slight regret in his tone. "There were betters ways I could have gone about that such as erasing his memory of what happened and implementing something else but I wanted to show you the true dark side. Now that you have experienced it you will come to realize it is not the only answer. Only balance is the answer; just using the light or the dark is foolish. Now, can you tell me why the dark side was wrong to use now, in that way?"

Naruto nodded before thinking for a moment then spoke. "The lightning could have alerted others to what was happening and now Tenzo has a grudge against you. He will likely try to kill you when you drop your guard."

His green eyes shined at Naruto, faint hints of pride evident if Naruto looked closely. "Correct. That is why the path of the dark side alone is wrong. You can never have true followers who follow from respect, only people who follow you because of your power and if you let your guard down for even a moment you will lose everything. The way I've taught you to use the dark side is to always have control of your emotions and not letting it run wild like I just allowed them to do just now. Now head home. You need to prepare for your mission tomorrow." Naruto nodded before bowing and leaving.

Gravid looked up at the full moon in the night sky, before smirking. "All my plans will be accomplished soon, and then I will rule everything." He turned and left chuckling as his eyes turned a sulfuric yellow.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Far in the unknown region on a planet never discovered, a small boy ran through his village. He had dark black hair with brown eyes with tanned skin. He was wearing a white flimsy T shirt covered in dirt with black shorts. He had two black dots underneath his eyes, about an inch in size. His village was a small little farming village but they were a content people. Then in the purple sky, an object came crashing out of the sky it was on fire. It was big, bigger than anything else he had ever seen. The towns people screamed and ran from it as it crashed into a nearby field of food. The boy ran towards it grinning. "Zodic don't go!"

He didn't listen and kept running towards the huge steel bird. He got as close as he could to the ship standing on the edge of the large crater it formed.

"Come here..." A deep dark voice called out to him.

"Whose there!" Once again the voice called out to him from the big bird. Zodic eyes widened someone was in there they could be hurt! He got on the side of the crater before slowly going down. Half of the bird was in the ground while the other half was sticking out of it. He ran towards the large metal bird as a hole opened in the side of it? He immediately ran inside as a flashing red light flared and a loud screaming noise to. He ran into it as the lights suddenly went off before coming back as he walked further in. He felt something wet on his bare feet, he looked down and saw a red liquid. He followed the trail of it into a large room it had benches all over. Then he saw what the red stuff was.

There was blood everywhere on the walls, the ceiling, the floor just everywhere. But there were not bodies, only blood? Something was written on the wall but he couldn't understand it. His face slowly turned white as he heard the voice. If only he could read basic, it would have saved his life. The wall read, "Don't listen to it! Leave!"

The boy went further into the ship the voice called out to him stronger with each moment. He suddenly reached a large metal door before it opened. He walked into the pitch black room as the lights went off. Then voice went silent as he walked further into it before a small light shined onto a pedestal. On it was a ring, a small black ring that looked to be made out of some kind of metal? Dark blue and red lines shown on the ring running all over it.

"Pick it up."

Zodic slowly reached for it before pulling his hand way feeling something was wrong. He slowly backed away before the voice hit him again.

"PICK IT UP!"

The voice was so loud he couldn't think as he grabbed the ring to make it stop. Then he felt something stir inside of him. He wanted to put this ring on, just as he was about to a human male ran into the room with some kind of weapon in his hand. He shouted something at him he ran towards him but he was too late. The boy put the ring on. Dear gods, he failed.

The man was instantly flung back his body being lifted up and held to the wall by the force. "You almost succeeded you know fool man. You were so close from stopping me, you even went as far to kill all your men. Even that wasn't enough." Hundreds of bodies suddenly came into existence around the boy's feet. The boy raised his head showing off sulfuric yellow eyes as he walked through the bodies and blood. "I must commend you on almost stopping me many have tried and few have succeeded. But I must thank you for this body, it is quite powerful. Now my return will all be your fault fool man."

The man's head was crushed as his headless body fell to the floor, the boy just began whistling, as he left the ship.

"So your name is Zodic is it? It's not the worst name I've held. Don't worry you and I will do great things hahaha. Then i will rule the galaxy like i was born to do. I am after all meant to conquer all." The bodies eyes soon returned to brown but the boy was gone. Now something dark, something ancient resided inside. A darkness so evil that would soon spread across the galaxy, could anything stop it?

And thats chapter one.

I chose Gravid to become Naruto's master for a ton of different reasons. The first being that while alive he struggled with the light side which eventually led to his insanity. He just fits what I want for this story, being not a Sith or a Jedi just someone who exists in between and struggles with both the light and the dark.

Gravid is incredibly powerful having once been Lord of the Sith. Gravid well my Gravid is modeled after Plagueis being a scientist and scholar. It's the biggest reason why Naruto is so intelligent in this story is because that's what Gravid values most not power but intellect. He would never have an apprentice who he considered ignorant or uneducated.

I will have flashback in each of the coming chapters before Naruto's whole training with Gravid is explained and experiments preformed on him.

Now you may be thinking that Gravid got control way to fast of the civilians or that he refined their technology to fast. Well, think about it like this; Gravid has been thinking, and finding every weakness of the leaf village for years while making plans to exploit those weaknesses. With that being said, Kain was already an extremely influential business man, that's the reason Naruto chose him to host his master's soul. Upgrading their technologies is extremely simple to Gravid. He found the quickest and most efficient ways to go about gaining power in the village. The coming chapters his political power will get stronger and stronger as well.

Naruto is very, very strong for his age. Without the Force is probably at mid Chunin level with the Force he's at a Special Jonin level. His Force abilities will be shown soon enough. Naruto still has the status "Padawn" to his master and hasn't proved himself to take that step up to the higher rank.

Naruto cares very deeply about Gravid viewing him as the father he never had, while Gravid views him as an extremely useful tool to help him accomplish his goals.

In this story Kakashi will be a way more involved and better teacher.

The Main Villain of the story makes a small appearance, if you guys figure who he is I would be incredibly impressed I only gave small hints.

Thank you for reading plus huge thanks for Draco Kamikaze for helping me with this. You should really go give his stories a ready they are all very good, and Naruto: From Darkness is one of the best stories on this site.
