HAPPY STAR WARS DAY TO ALL! Just want you all to know that this particular crossover is my first attempt at writing a story centered around the Sith Warrior class. This chapter is merely a prologue, so I hope you all at least enjoy this story.

*I don't own Naruto or Star Wars: The Old Republic!

Prologue

Walking home alone in Konohagakure no Sato, young Boruto Uzumaki, a thirteen year old boy with spiky blonde hair, blue eyes, and two whisker shaped birthmarks on each side of his face, was not too happy right now. His father and mother, both of whom are highly respected Jedi in the Republic as well as ninjas of Konohagakure no Sato, with his father also being Hokage, had once again turned down his request to be taught the ways of the Force. Said he's too old to learn the Jedi arts nowadays.

But he's not ignorant. He knows that he's very strong in the Force and can easily do some major damage to any Imperial scum that tries to take over their planet if he wanted to. But it's his power that his parents fear. They think that if he were to get too strong, he might turn on the village and go rogue. And so they focus on his equally Force sensitive little sister, Himawari, in teaching the Jedi ways. He already knows that his kid sister is much more inclined to using the Force to fight for her rather than straight up Lightsaber combat, so she'll most likely follow their mother's footsteps and become a Jedi Consular.

The Jedi Consulars are well known in the Republic and the Jedi Order as the diplomats. They seek to focus their efforts on enlightenment through the Force, and would prefer to use techniques from the Force rather than resorting to physical combat. Their most notable features are their hooded robes and green colored Lightsabers.

Their father, however, is a Jedi Guardian. The Jedi Guardians are the warriors of the Jedi order and are well known for wearing heavy armor to help protect themselves in combat. Their physical power is matched only by their strength in the blade, as they use their blue colored Lightsabers to strike down any enemy of the Republic with swift and deadly precision.

Now, both of these classes can be classified into two groups each. For the Jedi Consulars, there are the Sages and the Shadows. And the Jedi Guardians can be grouped into the Knights and the Sentinels.

The Jedi Sage class focuses less on actual Lightsaber combat and more on strengthening one's connection to the Force through meditation and study. They are also known as the best diplomats among the Jedi forces. Due to this, they only ever use their Lightsabers as a last resort when in a fight, prefering to attack from a distance. Then there are the Jedi Shadows: members of the Jedi Order who are more in tune with combining their Force abilities with their Lightsaber combat and using the force to enhance their abilities in stealth to avoid detection. Their weapon of choice is a Lightsaber model created and perfected by an ancient Jedi turned Sith known as Exar-Kun: the Double-Bladed Lightsaber. Some prefer to call it a Saberstaff since it looks so much like a bo-staff and is used in a similar fashion in combat. If Boruto remembers correctly, the current Grandmaster of the Jedi, Satele Shan, actually prefers to use this weapon even though she's more of an up close and personal kind of fighter like a Jedi Guardian.

Then there are the two classes of Jedi Guardians. The Jedi Knights are warriors who focus on using a single Lightsaber while wearing heavy armor and wielding a shield generator in order to protect themselves against enemy attacks. The Sentinels are greater at using their relentless attacks to keep their enemies on the defensive as they mow down their foes with heavy strikes while using two Lightsabers at the same time to bring down enemies of the republic. While their armor may not be as durable as the armor that the Knights wear, it's still enough to provide them with adequate protection when in the midst of a tough battle.

But more to the point, the lad is highly miffed that his parents have chosen to train only one of them in the ways of the Force rather than both of them. It's unfair to the boy that his sister gets training to become a Jedi while he's left stuck in the shadow of his father as 'the boy who will become the next Hokage'. Well Boruto is determined to step out of that shadow.

He holds no love for the Hokage position at all, and yet everyone and their grandmother seems adamant that he will become Hokage like his father and grandfather before him. Even his dad seems to think so. So when Boruto was old enough, his father enrolled him in the Ninja Academy to start him down that path. But the blonde haired lad has been doing his very best to not become a ninja since day one. From things like not paying attention in class to intentionally doing poorly in tests and the practical exams.

The only downside to this is that he has to put up with this girl in his age group, his self proclaimed rival for the position of Hokage, Sarada Uchiha, nagging him about doing better in class if he's ever going to graduate.

'By the Force, I can't stand that girl! So self-important… If I ever learn the ways of the Force and our paths cross again you can be certain that I will silence her for good!' Boruto bitterly thought to himself.

So entranced with his thoughts was he, that Boruto didn't even notice that he had wandered into Training Ground 44: the Forest of Death. A place that has been used many times in the past as the location of the second part of the Chunin Exams when they are held in Konoha. That is, he didn't notice until he ran into a rather large tree.

Shaking his head in an attempt to clear the cobwebs from his mind and dull the pain, Boruto finally took notice of his surroundings and was… surprisingly calm about it, actually.

Despite the Forest of Death being a home for many species of giant predators such as tigers, bears, even giant insects like centipedes and millipedes, Boruto doesn't feel threatened by this place at all. If anything, being here makes him feel far more at peace with the place. The Force speaks to him about this place. Tells him that he is safe here. That the creatures of this forest will not harm him.

And he's inclined to listen. So rather than simply wander the forest, Boruto sat down at the base of this tree and began to meditate. Hopefully, doing so will help him to reign in his raging emotions.

'There is no emotion, there is peace… there is no emotion, there is peace… there is no emotion, there is peace…' Boruto chanted in his mind.

But as he chanted the first line of the Jedi Code in his mind, the Force sent a darker aspect of a code into his mind. One that goes against everything the Jedi stand for.

'Peace is a lie, there is only passion…'

As the boy sat there and meditated, he was unaware that his body was beginning to emit an aura of Dark Side Force energy that was quite powerful. Many a Jedi from beyond the planet felt the surge of power and instantly got a bad feeling about the future. And even on the planet Elum, where the Uzumaki family lives, two certain Jedi and their daughter also felt the power.

And what's worse, the moon appeared in broad daylight with a very familiar eye pattern adorning its surface, drawing power from the Force as the boy meditated.

*To Be Continued…*

So, there's the first chapter. Of course, it's going to be centered around the Sith Warrior story of SWTOR, so it might take some time to update as I watch playthroughs and cutscenes for the storyline. But I'll also be using my own character from the game as a medium for the events of the story. I have only one question for you all.

Which path as a Sith Warrior should Boruto go down: Sith Juggernaut, or Sith Marauder?

Thank you guys so much for reading. May the 4th be with you, and have a great day.
