Hey everybody its LordNephilim, and this is my first fanfic. I've had the idea for this story stuck in my head for awhile, so I figured I would just write it. I was inspired to make this after reading some of the Lost Tribe of the Sith books and the Star Wars Legacy comics. I hope that you all enjoy it, and please leave some reviews.
I do not own Naruto or Star Wars.
A/N: This takes place 5 years after the Nine-Tailed Fox's attack on Konoha.

Shinobi of the Sith
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
125 years after the defeat of Papaltine's Empire over Endor, the galaxy has fallen under the rule of Darth Krayt and his Sith Order. His order no longer follows the rule of two that Darth Bane established, so that Krayt could have an army of sith warriors. While many follow Krayt with absolute loyalty, one Sith historian, Darth Thanatos, refuses to abandon their ancient teachings. Currently Darth Thanatos is meditating on the Sith home world, Korriban, plotting a coup of Krayt's order…
-------------------------------------------
It was very dark in the tombs of Korriban, a perfect place to go for solitude. That is if you could fend off the numerous creatures that called the tombs their home. In one tomb in particular, the tomb of the legendary Sith Lord Naga Sadow, a man is reading. He is about 6'2, pale skin, light blue eyes, well trimmed light blonde hair, and has above average build. He is wearing the traditional black robes of a Sith, black leather boots, and matching gloves. His name is Darth Thanatos, a renowned Sith historian/archeologist. He was lost in thought reading one of the ancient tomes filled with Sith lore, reading accounts of terrible (but great) feats. Suns forced to go supernova through the force, turning creatures into nightmarish monsters with Sith alchemy, and trapping the minds of hundreds in a state of eternal torment without the sweet release of death.
While many used databanks for their information, Thanatos preferred the feeling and smell of parchment. He then decided to take a short break and relax, he stretched for little to get out some kinks he has had and lays down on his back. He breaths in the stale air of the tomb, filling his lungs with the essence of the dark side. He often enjoyed coming to the Sith tombs on Korriban and occasionally Ziost, just to get away from the idiots in the "modern" Sith order. They were not Sith, they were a bunch of thugs lucky to have been born with access to the Force and ran around with red lightsabers. He also couldn't stand how all of the best artifacts and holocrons went to Krayt's inner circle. But that would soon change, he had a plan to acquire the knowledge and power to over throw Darth Krayt. He had recently returned from a trip from the Corusant Sith temple, and stole some rather valuable holocrons.
He also came to Korriban for specific reasons as well. One was to steal Darth Krayt's personal holocrons, and second was to seek out the spirts of the ancient Sith for guidance. He then took in one more breath and then spoke, "I Darth Thanatos seek guidance of the forerunners of the Sith. Those who claim to be Sith are dragging the legacy of our order through the ground. I come before you to restore the glory of the Sith, and I come to take your knowledge and experience and surpass the great lords of the past." He stood there in silence, hoping for a response. Then the thought came to him, what if he wasn't worthy of their attention. If that was the case, he would have to prove himself. He then left the tomb and left to where sources said Darth Krayt would be. It was another tomb, but the room itself had much more space in it. Thanatos made sure to cloak himself with the force to hide his presence and listened to what was happening.
----------------------------
Krayt had three holocrons floating around him when he began to recite the Sith oath. "Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion I gain strength. Through strength I gain power. Through power I gain victory. Through victory my chains are broken. The force shall set me free." He then began to focus on the holocrons to activate them and began to speak again. "Dark Lords who have gone before, whose malevolent wisdom lies sealed within these holocrons- Again I summon you! I open my mind to your teachings – now open the secrets of your power." Three ghost-like apparitions appeared from the holocrons, one dressed in ancient looking armor, the second one was dresses completely in heavy black robes with a white mask, and the third had insect-like shells all over his exposed body and wore a cage -like helmet. Krayt then began to speak to these apparitions, "Lord Andeddu, Lord Nihilus, Lord Bane- Answer me! Teach me! Such is my will!" the image of Darth Bane scoffed at Krayt and spoke. "So, the would-be Sith returns. My knowledge is not for you! You are not a Sith, pretender, nor are your rabble. This was my lesson, two Sith should there be; no more. One holding power, one desiring it. You defy my teaching!" "I have improved on it! Instead of two there is now only one, the Sith order itself." Krayt then began to stand. "I have re-created the Sith, Lord Bane, as you once did. I have given it a purpose. For what use is power without one?" "Power is its own purpose. To share it is to dilute it. You delude yourself, pretender, your order will yet turn on itself and you." Lord Andeddu then spoke. "The heretic comes for the same reason it came last time. Its body is failing. It fears that which is consuming it." Krayt snarled under his breath at the comment, but continued.
"Lord Bane, you mastered the parasites, the Orbalisks, that attacked you. That fed on your body as these Yuuzhan Vong life forms feed on mine. How? Lord Andeddu, legend holds that your body died, but you used the force to keep it vivified. How? Lord Nihilus, you escaped death by containing your consciousness within your armor. HOW?!" Darth Nihilus spoke in ancient Sith, followed by Darth Bane. "Weak-willed pretender, behold your destiny!" Lord Andeddu began to cackle and spoke with a sickening smile "Let the pretender's fear consume it!". Krayt then began howl as his armor grew out of control. He then fell on all fours as it grew and tried to take control him. "I TAKE WHAT I DESIRE! I AM THE LIVING LORD OF THE SITH!" Krayt shouted as he began to charge torrents of force lightning around himself. "This is not the truth and it is not my destiny! I forge my own way, I walk a new path, and if you will not serve me, BEGONE!" in a flash of blue light, Krayt's form began to return to normal. Krayt said something to himself, but Thanatos couldn't make it out. Soon Krayt made his way out of the chamber, not caring to gather the holocrons. Once he had left, Thanatos then went to take them for himself. Although Thanatos disagreed with Krayt on many things, he respected Krayt. He had qualities that that made him a great Sith, but he was misguided. After getting the holocrons he made his way out of the tombs.
------------------------------------
Thanatos made his way to his personal interceptor, The Hidden Agenda, and began to make his preparations ready. He needed to get away, to study and train, and to plan his take over. He figured he could skim the outer rims and even train in the unknown regions, while he was getting his supplies together, a breeze blew by. To one not in touch with the force, it seemed to be ordinary, but Thanatos was now far more cautious. He then went into the cock pit to plot a course, thinking that Hoth would be a good place to hide. After breaking through the atmosphere he made the jump to hyerpspace. He sat in the cockpit fiddling with his curved-hilt lightsaber, hoping that he would have little trouble on his way to Hoth. He was going to go rest in his chambers when he heard the clanking of metal against the floor. He rose up slowly and calmly, with his hand always over the curved hilt of his lightsaber. He started walk through the halls only to find nothing. Seeing as his own natural senses have failed him he reached out with the force.
"How's it going Thanatos?" he heard behind him. Thanatos turned to see a man a little shorter than himself walk towards him. The man was wearing a black tank top, grey pants, black boots, and had black satchel hanging from his waist. He was bald and well muscled. "This is a mighty fine ship you have here Thanatos. But then again you always had good taste." Thanatos then recognized this man as fellow student from back in the days at the academy. "What are you doing on my ship, Aiden?" Aiden then sat down at a nearby table and pulled out a flask from his satchel. "Hey its Darth Aiden, I worked my ass for that title." Aiden said as he took a swig from the flask. "I see you still have a drinking problem." Thanatos said as Aiden continued to drink. "It's a hobby, not a problem. Problems are usually negative." "You still haven't answered my first question, what are you doing here?" "You really are a blonde aren't you?" Thanatos then heard footsteps behind him and turned to see two other people behind him. One was a small human woman holding a double-bladed red lightsaber in her hand. The other was a large Trandoshan male igniting a red lightsaber. Darth Aiden then but the flask back into his satchel and gets ups from the chair.
"Sorry about this old friend, but this order came from Krayt himself. He isn't all too happy with your opinions of our fine Sith Order." Aiden then lit up his two lightsabers, the one in his right orange, and the one in his left green. Thanatos drew his curved-hilt lightsaber and ignited its purple blade. Aiden kicked the table straight at Thanatos. Thanatos jumped over it and leapt for Aiden. Aiden was able to block the attack, and followed with a roundhouse kick. Thanatos rolled with the kick to avoid most of the damage and landed in front of the large Trandoshan. The Trandoshan brought his lightsaber down in a fierce vertical swing. Thanatos was able to block, and sent a straight kick into the Trandoshan's open mid-section, sending the Trando flying into nearby crates. The Trandoshan fired off an arc of blue force lightning while on the ground towards Thanatos. Thanatos was about to deal with his female assailant, until he saw the Trando's attack. Taking advantage of the situation, Thanatos ducked to his right, and let the woman take the bolt of pure dark side power. She cringes with pain and is temporarily subdued. Aiden then returns to the fray and begins to trade blows with Thanatos. The Trandoshan then gets up and joins Aiden in ganging up on their target. Despite being outnumbered, Thanatos is holding up a perfect defense. Thanatos then realized that the woman was getting up and charges to Thanatos, and she is pissed. He knows that he will have some trouble holding off all three of these highly trained sith warriors in the open area they are fighting in. Thanatos then begins to slowly lead them backwards, all the while holding off the barrage of fatal strikes. His patience was rewarded when he leads them all into one off the narrow corridors of the ship. Both Aiden's and the woman's broad styles of combat would be useless in these close quarters. The only one who could be useful in this situation is the Trando, who happens to take point. Thanatos recognizes the Trando's use of Djem So, and counters with the fearsome Vaapad style. In order to properly use it, Thanatos calls forth the dark side and his own rage to fuel his erratic attacks. He remembers his hatred of the Jedi, his hatred of those who target the weak and innocent, and he remembers his childhood. The culmination of his emotions and the dark side coursing through him, leads to an explosion of raw power. He lashes out at the Trandoshan, who is helpless before the storm of strikes. The Trando is reduced to a pile of cauterized meat in a few seconds.
After Thanatos calmed down, he realizes that he lead them into the cockpit. Before he could even curse himself, Aiden and his fellow assassin began to attack again. At first it seemed like nobody could get a deciding blow, until the woman began to show signs of fatigue. Thanatos picked up on this immediately, and gets a clear shot at her right shoulder. He takes a vertical slash and severs her right arm. She reels back in pain, and accidently strikes the command console. "This is not good!" Aiden shouted as the ship began to rock violently. Thanatos took advantage of their panic and killed the woman with a decapitating blow, sending her head rolling. He then used the force to knock Aiden into the nearby console, knocking Aiden unconscious. Thanatos then rushed to the safest place on the Hidden Agenda, the artifact chamber. The artifact chamber was made out of cortorsis, one of the most resistant metals in existence; it would give him a slight chance at surviving. He made it safe to the chamber when things took a turn for the worse. All of the lights went red, and he heard the sounds of the emergency signal going off. Suddenly Thanatos felt pain surging through him, but there was nothing in the room, save for artifacts he had collected over the years. He fell over as the ship continued to rock wildly. Thanatos tried to pick himself up, until he heard the cracking of his bones. He could feel his bones contorting and breaking constantly, his insides feeling like they were getting ready to explode. He howled in pain, but no sound came out. He noticed that he was starting to lose consciousness, and he couldn't do a thing about it. 'I can't die… not now…' were the last thoughts in his mind, until everything went black.
----------------------------------
It was supposed to be a simple mission, but in all things of ninja, it wasn't. Kurenai Yuhi had learned that the hard way in her life. She was leaping branch from branch through a forest with her partner Anko, to catch up with their objective. Their mission was simple, hunt down the wanted criminal Totaro, bring him in, and interrogate him to get names and locations of rouge ninja. Beside a strange comet burning through the sky, everything seemed to be normal. Well it seemed like some of her Intel was wrong, and bad info could get you killed in her line of work. Her Intel told her that the target was a thug with connections, nothing special, but then thing turned for the worse as she got closer. It turned out that he had rouge ninja with him, and they took her by surprise. She held her own against his bodyguard ninja, only to have her target get away. Now she was chasing the target through the forest until her target stopped at a clearing. Totaro was 5'2 and was kind of stocky, a slicked black hair and wore glasses. He was with some masked ninja, about 15 of them. "We have been waiting for you sir." Spoke one of the ninja, "Well its about time, I have had a lot of trouble getting this information for him." The target reached for some papers in a bag when everyone heard a sound. 'I was told that we were on this on our own' Anko thought to herself, but soon the source of the sound made itself known. Out from the woods came a blonde haired boy, he looked injured with cuts and bruises all over him. He was wearing torn up rags that seemed to be too big for the child. He held his arm close as if it were broken. The boy just continued to limp his way through the clearing till the boy spoke. "Sirs I am hurt badly, could you please tell me where I am and where I can get medical assistance." Both Anko and Kurenai were surprised by how well this boy carried himself despite his injuries. The target just stared until he gave a command "Kill the boy." Then suddenly something in Kurenai just snapped. She wasn't going to allow them to harm this helpless child. She let her emotions get her and acted without a plan. She jumped out of their hiding spot, with Anko following. She drew a kunai and took out one ninja with ease, and she made her way towards another target. Anko summoned snakes from her sleeves to attack and two other ninjas. She was about to attack again when the original target spoke. "Surrender or the kid dies!" he shouted, Anko cursed the child in her thoughts while Kurenai chided herself for acting so rashly, until they all heard laughter.
The boy was laughing, not in a childish and happy laugh, but a sinister somewhat frightening way. "I am more powerful than any of your small minds can comprehend!" the boy shouted. He then stretched out his unbroken right arm with his palm open. Suddenly to everyone's surprise one of thug ninja's katana flew out of his hand into the boys. "Now die!" the boy shouted as he leapt at incredible speeds and jumped onto the side of a tree, he leapt off it and went hurtling towards the now disarmed ninja. The boy flew past the thug ninja's head and lopped it off. Kurenai was amazed to say the least, not only the display of skill and power, not only the fact that the boy was severely injured, but the fact that she did not sense any chakra at all in the boy's movements at all. Five ninjas began to chuck shurikens and kunai at the boy, Kurenai thought that the boy was doomed. The boy just stood his ground, opened up his index finger, middle finger, and thumb while still holding the katana, and let the projectiles come. What happened next shocked everybody, the projectiles stopped in mid-air. They hung in the air for a second, before the boy made a thrusting movement with his hand, and the projectiles went flying back at the rouge ninjas. All five of them were killed with their own weapons. Two of the ninja ran away after seeing this while the rest drew swords and charged the boy. One of the ninja brought his sword down in a vertical slash, the boy parried the blow and redirected the ninja's blade into the ground. In a split second after this move, the boy made a horizontal slash into the ninja, effectively cutting him in half from the waist. Another ninja came from behind and tried the same vertical attack. The boy took his blade and spun around the blade cutting through the ninja's throat, taking his head off before the ninja could bring the sword down. The boy then turned and looked straight at Kurenai, and she saw his eyes. His eyes were yellow with a jagged black outline around the iris, making his eyes look like a corrupted sun. She never saw anything like it before and she felt a little sick when the boy shot her and Anko a chilling smile. Suddenly the two ninja that ran away earlier came down from above and were coming straight down on the boy. The boy lifted his hand and held the two assailants in mid air with some strange force. Before the two helpless ninjas could panic, the boy sent them into nearby trees. They both collided into the trees sickening crunch. The boy then smiled once more "Oh how I do love that sound!" he shouted.
The boy then turned to what was left of the rouge ninja and began to speak. "I grow tired of this." The boy said before he hurled his katana at the group. At first it went straight through one of thug's heart, leaving a bloody mess. Everyone but the boy was surprised when the sword continued to kill people without anyone holding it. Soon the group of rogue ninja was reduced to a pile of blood and limbs, leaving only Anko, Kurenai, and Totaro alive. The boy then walked over to the stocky man, and Totaro began to run but had his legs chopped off by the levitating sword. Totaro tried to crawl away before he was lifted up in the air by the boy's power. The boy began to close his open hand slowly, and Totaro began to choke and reached for his neck. The boy smiled as Totaro began to suffocate and spoke "You must think you are some big badass to try and kill a helpless half dead boy, but I am not to be trifled with." The boy walked closer to Totaro and stuck his index finger out. He walked right up to Totaro and spoke again "I have wanted to try this technique out ever since I have studied it. It is called shatterpoint, and I have always wondered what it can do on living people." He then poked Totaro on the center of his chest. Almost instantly Totaro's chest erupted in an explosion of blood and bone. The boy was covered in blood and turned to Anko and Kurenai. Before they could do anything, the boy began clutching his head screaming in pain. The boy the fell onto the ground and stopped moving, only occasionally having a random twitch.
After they got the evidence from Totaro's corpse, Kurenai and Anko made their way towards the unconscious boy. Kurenai knelt down next to the boy and checked his vitals. She just finished up when Anko spoke. "Okay we got what we came for, what are we gonna do about the kid?" asked Anko, Kurenai then wiped the blood off the boy and wrapped him in a spare traveling cloak. Before Kurenai could answer, the boy opened his eyes. They were no longer yellow, but light blue. "Are you two angels?" the young boy asked softly before he went back to sleep. "We will take him with us, he take him to a hospital and ask him about who he is. We should also tell the Hokage what we saw." Spoke Kurenai as she lifted the boy, who was nothing but skin and bones. They then made their way back to the village, neither one knowing the effect that this boy would have on their lives.
