What's up all you Naruto Shippuden and Star Wars The Clone Wars lovers. I don't own either.
This is a story that just came to me and I wanted to write it so I wouldn't forget about it. Also, don't know if I want to turn this into a harem or not, but it will have romance between Naruto and everyone's favorite padawan, Ahsoka.
Before any of you get confused, this first chapter takes place during the film. It just seems best since... Um... Never mind. Sorry, but I don't want to give too much away. After all, what's Naruto without a few surprises. ;)
Now then, let's get reading.
Chapter 1: The New Apprentice
(Unknown Planet in The Outer Rim)
In a hidden droid base, former Jedi, Count Dooku is seen meditating when a very large quake in the Force causes his concentration to break.
"What was that?" Dooku asks himself. "There was a large disturbance in the Force just now."
Just then, a hologram of Darth Sidious appeared on Dooku's desk, making Dooku bow to his master.
"Greetings, Lord Tyranus." Sidious greeted with his raspy tone. "I have sensed a disturbance in the Force from a very power being."
"I know, my master. I felt it as well. What do you wish of me to do Lord Sidious?" Dooku asked, making Sidious pull out a holodisk of some place with Earth on it and transmited the map to Dooku.
"I want you to head to this location and find what or whoever caused this disturbance and train them in the ways of the Sith before the Jedi can get their hands on them." Sidious answered.
"Your will be done, my master." Dooku said as the hologram disappeared.
Dooku soon entered his Solar Sailor and flew to the planet that was home to the powerful being.
(Earth: Near The Final Valley)
Meanwhile, a thirteen year old Naruto is seen destroying trees, rocks, even the ground. Naruto was pissed, very pissed. After he woke up, Sasuke was nowhere in sight and was probably to far away to find him.
Sasuke was in his grasp and he let him go to Orochimaru. He failed to bring him back, he broke his promise to Sakura. Just what would she do to him? What would the village do to him? There was nothing he could do. He was alone in this and there was nothing he could do.
"Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!" Naruto continuously yelled as he smashed some more trees until an unknown sound caught his ear.
Naruto looked up and to his surprise, a ship came floating down toward him before landing about several feet away from him.
"What the heck?" Naruto asked himself, not believing what he was seeing.
A door and ramp appeared from the ship and a man gray haired man with a bread came walking down the ramp. The man stopped and stared at Naruto, eyes narrowing as he spied the red energy surrounding him.
'So, this boy is the one that caused that disturbance in the Force? Interesting.' Dooku thought to himself before noticing that the boy was growling.
"Grrr, just who the hell are you old man?!" Naruto yelled, slitty holding back his anger.
"My apologies young man, but if you don't mind, who are you and what is that massive power surrounding you?" Dooku asked curiously, ignoring Naruto's question.
"The names Naruto Uzumaki and what this is surrounding me is my own business! Now I'll ask again, who the hell are you?!" Naruto asked again.
"Forgive me, my name is Count Dooku, a Sith Lord, and I have a proposition for you." Dooku said, making Naruto raise a brow.
"What proposition?" Naruto asked, starting to calm down.
"I wish for you to become my apprentice to learn the ways of the Sith." Dooku answered, making Naruto think as the Kuubi's Chakra started faded away.
"Hmm, first off, what's a Sith? And second, what's in it for me?" Naruto asked.
Naruto might not have been smart, but he wasn't just going to agree to something with a guy that just came from space.
"Curious are we? Very well, the Sith are beings that have unimaginable power that they can use in anyway they see fit. Ask for what you get, you shall receive whatever you desire, such as wealth, woman, and power to do with as you please. What do you say young one?" Dooku asked, making Naruto think for a moment.
After a few minutes of thinking over the pros and cons of the situation, the pros won over the cons and Naruto nodded in agreement. They entered what Naruto soon learned was called a Solar Sailor and flew through the vast reaches of space, away from Naruto's world. Little did Naruto know, that after his training was over, his destiny would soon change.
(Three Years Later)
It had now been three years since Naruto became Count Dooku's apprentice. Over this course of time, Naruto had learned to use the ways of the Force. He even learned to add what he knew as a Shinobi into the mix, making him learn faster and grow stronger. Even his master once commented that he could be stronger then himself, maybe even his own master.
Over time, Naruto had changed. He now stood taller and more muscled for endurance, but still had a lean body for speed. His clothes had also changed since he had grown. He now wore a red and black tunic, a black belt around his waist that held his lightsaber, a pair of black baggy pants that reached his shins before ending at a pair of black boots. He also wore a pair of black fingerless plated gloves and a Kakashi style mask.
Currently, Naruto was walking down a hallway to see what his master had called him for. Ever since his master created the Separatist Alliance, the Clone Wars had begun. Naruto had never been able to go on any mission ever since, but now was hopefully going to be the time that he reveals himself.
Naruto walked into the room his master was in and gave an eye smile while giving a wave.
"Heh, you call master gramps?" Naruto asked, making Dooku sigh in frustration.
"How many times must I tell you not to call me that?" Dooku asked, holding back his anger. "Anyway, there's finally a mission for you that I think you will have no trouble with."
At this, Naruto pumped his fist in excitement.
"Yes! Yes! It's about time! I've been waiting to use what I learned out in the field!" Naruto yelled excitedly before seeing his masters eye twitch, making him stop. "Heh, sorry about that master."
"It's quite alright, I know how much you are tired of being cooped up in here and not being able to use what I taught you. Now then, this mission will compose of both you and I going to Tatooine to gain Jabba the Hutt's allegiance." Dooku said, making Naruto raise a brow.
"Jabba the Hutt? Isn't he one of the most powerful crime lords in the outer rim?" Naruto asked, knowing well and good just who said Hutt was.
"Indeed, he is. That is why I plan on gaining his allegiance towards the Separatist's. Because once we gain his loyalty we shall gain an advantage over the Republic since Jadda controls all of the shipping routs in his territory." Dooku said proudly as they boarded his Solar Sailor and flew toward Tatooine.
"Huh, now I see. If we're to gain the Hutt's allegiance then we'll be able to crush the Republic if they're troops can't get any supplies." Naruto said, getting an agreeing nod from his master.
Little did Naruto know that he and a certain Jedi Padawan were going to meet.
(Tatooine: Jabba's Palace)
Meanwhile, Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi's Starfighter had just come out of hyperspace over Tatooine, his partner R4 saying something soon after.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Jabba's in a good mood." Obi-Wan stated before detaching from the hyperspace ring and flying towards the planet.
Landing outside the Palace, Obi-Wan was greeted by Jabba's personal protocol droid and some guards.
"We should not keep the wise and powerful Jabba waiting." The droid stated.
"I wouldn't dream of it." Obi-Wan stated with some amusement as he followed the droid and guards inside.
Obi-Wan soon stood in front of Jabba in his throne room.
"Mighty Jabba, one of our most powerful Jedi is on his way to rescue your son. We will not let you down." Obi-Wan stated seriously, making Jabba say something.
"The most gracious Jabba has one more small condition. He demands you bring back the slime who kidnaped his little punky-muffin." Jabba's droid said.
"Punky?" Obi-Wan questioned with amusement before Jabba continued.
"Dead or alive." The droid began before continuing. "If you do not succeed, Count Dooku and his droid army will."
Elsewhere, Naruto and Dooku landed there ship a distance away from Jabba's Palace. As they were leaving the ship, Dooku's holodisk starts beeping. Dooku actives the disk and a hologram of Asajj Ventress appears.
"They have taken the monastery master. Skywalker is here. He's on his way to rescue the Hutt." Ventress stated, making Dooku nod.
"Well done Ventress. All is going according to plan." Dooku said broadly.
"I could easily take them now." Ventress said with an angered look.
"Patience. Collect the data we need. You will get your chance at revenge, soon enough." Dooku said before turning off the holodisk and turning to Naruto, who had a thoughtful look on his face.
"Skywalker, huh? Isn't he the guy whose arm you cut off?" Naruto asked curiously as they got on some speeders and road through the desert.
"Indeed he is, but do not be fooled as he is a very powerful Jedi. If you should face him, you are to not hold back and kill him." Dooku stated, surprising Naruto a little.
'Kill him, huh? I've never killed anyone before. I don't know if I could bring myself to do it. Hmm, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. For now, I'll focus on the task at hand right now.' Naruto thought as he and Dooku finally made it to Jabba's Palace.
They soon noticed a Jedi Starfighter nearby and decided to wait before entering. The wait was short lived as Obi-Wan Kenobi walked out of the palace entrance and got in his Starfighter, his astromech droid beeping something.
"I know R4, I want to get out of here too." Obi-Wan stated before his ship took off, not noticing Naruto and Dooku watching him leave before they made their way inside the palace.
They soon entered Jabba's throne room, making said worm raise a brow in curiosity.
"Oh great Jabba the Hutt, we have news of your son. We have discovered it is the Jedi who have kidnaped him." Dooku said, letting down his hood while Naruto stood silent as Jabba asked something.
"How have you come by this information?" The protocol droid asked.
"We have our ways. More importantly mighty Jabba, we bring a warning. The Jedi are planning to destroy you." Dooku replied with Naruto nodding at his masters 'info', while Jabba said something in clear anger.
"The most wise Jabba demands proof." The protocol droid said.
"And, he shall have it." Dooku said, an evil smile on his face.
(Teth: Monastery)
Meanwhile, Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his new Padawan Ahsoka Tano are seen walking out of the monastery with the now rescued son of Jabba the Hutt, Rotta.
"How do you like your little buddy now, still cute?" Anakin asked Ahsoka, who was carrying the Huttlet.
"No, he's reminding me of you more and more." Ahsoka replied, making Anakin sneer a little. "See, you're two of a kind."
"Maybe you should carry both of us then." Anakin quipped as he walked ahead of her.
Suddenly, Ahsoka noticed that Rotta wasn't right when he started coughing, informing Anakin.
"Master, I think this little guy is sick. He's burning up with a fever." Ahsoka said as she walked up to Anakin, who put his hand on the Huttlet's head.
"You're right, we gotta get him back to the ship immediately. Trooper, get me a backpack!" Anakin ordered one of the troopers.
Anakin and Ahsoka soon began trying to put the Huttlet inside the backpack they were given. Unknown to them, the 'caretaker' droid from earlier was watching them, recording what they were doing.
"Will you just let me do it?" Ahsoka said trying to place the Huttlet inside.
"I hate Hutt's." Anakin commented as he held the backpack.
Overhead, the droid finished recording and gave the recording to Dooku's other apprentice, Asajj Ventress. Once done with the recording, Ventress contacted Dooku, via holodisk.
"My lord, I have the recording you requested." Ventress said.
"Transmit it at once. Your new objective is to recover the Hutt." Dooku ordered.
"And deliver him to Jabba unharmed?" Ventress asked.
"Precisely, do not fail me." Dooku ordered.
(Tatooine: Jabba's Palace)
Dooku is showing Jabba the recording of Anakin and Ahsoka putting his son in a backpack while Naruto stood by watching. Though, his gaze lingered on Ahsoka the most.
'Hmm, she's pretty... cute.' Naruto thought before shaking his head. 'No, what am I thinking? She's a Jedi, my enemy! I can't think that way about an enemy. Besides, even if we were on the same side, I doubt that she would even go for someone like me, Jedi or not.'
The recording soon ended with Anakin's words ticking off Jabba.
"As you can see, it is the Jedi who have your son and are plotting against you." Dooku said, angering Jabba even more before he continued. "Our droid army has already begun a rescue. Rest assured mighty Jabba, your son will be saved."
Jabba thought for a moment before speaking, his droid translating his words.
"Mighty Jabba wishes to know what you ask in return?" The droid asked.
"Perhaps you would consider joining our struggle against the Republic." Dooku replied sinisterly.
Later, Naruto and Dooku are seen in the corner of Jabba's throne room as Dooku pulls out his holodisk and a hologram of Ventress appears.
"Have you recovered Jabba's son?" Dooku asked.
"Skywalker is still in possession of the Hutt and has temporarily eluded me, but he will not escape the system alive." Ventress answered, angering Dooku.
"Need I remind you whoever gains Jabba's favor will control the war in the outer rim? Only we must be allowed to return Jabba's son to him, alive." Dooku said, making Naruto raise a brow.
'What does he mean by that? He's not talking about killing Jabba's son is he?' Naruto thought in worry.
"I understand master, I will double my efforts." Ventress said respectfully.
"I hope so, for your sake." Dooku said, glaring at the assassin.
"Wait." Ventress suddenly said, activating her lightsabers.
"Heh, well looks like we'll have to deal with the Jedi when they arrive." Naruto commented with amusement.
"Indeed. Perhaps I should've sent you in her place to retrieve the Hutt." Dooku noted as they walked out.
Later, Dooku has received another message from Ventress. While Naruto was elsewhere, Dooku had showed the message to Jabba.
"The Republic had too many clone troopers my lord. By the time we were able to find Jabba's son, Skywalker had already... killed him." Ventress said, making Jabba very pissed at hearing this.
"Most unfortunate. This is a very unexpected turn of events. I take it you, at least, defeated the Jedi?" Dooku asked, playing along with Ventress's act.
"No, master. The Jedi escaped and are headed to Tatooine." Ventress replied.
"I'm sure you did the best you could. We will discuss your failure later." Dooku said angrily.
"Yes, my master." Ventress said shamefully as the hologram turned off.
Jabba said something in clear anger and waited for his personal translator to speak for him.
"Glorious Jabba demands to know why the Jedi would dare come to Tatooine?" The droid asked.
"To kill you Jabba." Dooku answered, shocking everyone in the room before he continued. "The Jedi plot is quite clear now. They only promised to rescue your son to win your trust. Now, Skywalker is coming here to finish his true mission. To wipeout the entire Hutt Clan."
Jabba cursed at this information, but was calmed by Dooku.
"If it pleases you mighty Jabba, this time, we will deal with Skywalker, ourselves." Dooku said as two Magnaguards walked out and showed that they were ready to fight.
Meanwhile, Anakin and Ahsoka's ship flew towards the planet.
"I was hopping I'd never have to lay eyes on this dustball again." Anakin stated as they neared the Planet.
"Okay, what happened?" Ahsoka asked, curious as to why her master hates the planet.
"I don't wanna talk about it. How's stinky holden up?" Anakin asked, changing the subject.
"He seems to be feeling much better." Ahsoka answered, looking at the sleeping Huttlet. "His fevers gone. Even you have to admit he's cute when he's asleep."
"I admit I like him better when he's quiet, but only a little." Anakin admitted before R2 asked something. "No R2, I want the cannon operational first, leave the rear deflector shields for later."
"No rear shields master? That's awful risky." Ahsoka stated with concern.
"A strong attack eliminates the need for defense Snips." Anakin replied without any worry.
Soon enough though, an alarm went off on the monitor saying that attacking ships were closing in on them.
"Attack ships closing." Ahsoka said.
Two Magnaguard Starfighters are seen firing at the Twilight, trying to shoot it down.
"Somebody doesn't want stinky to get home in one piece!" Anakin yelled as he flew the ship on, trying to avoid being blasted to bits before one shot hit an engine, causing them to fly down to the planet in a nosedive.
"Wow, quite a welcome home party!" Ahsoka said sarcastically.
"Set the approach vector and makeready to land!" Anakin ordered before their ship was hit again. "Ahsoka activate the guns!"
Ahsoka tried to do as told, but was having trouble since the guns were in the forward position. Anakin told her to go make sure nothing happens to the Huttlet while he started flipping the ship over the other two, waking the Huttlet. He did one last flip before flying forward face to face with one of the enemy ships before blasting it to pieces.
However, the second one got lucky by blasting the Twilights bottom wing off. R2 managed to get the cannon to aim back and blasted the last ship, Anakin praising him for his shot. Though, their excitement was short lived since their ship was still falling toward the planet at dangerous speeds.
On the planet, Naruto watched through a scope as he saw the Twilight crash several miles in the distance.
"Well, I don't know about you master, but I think they're dead." Naruto commented, as Dooku came out of Jabba's Palace, with three other Magnaguards.
"Perhaps, but one can never be too sure. I will go and make sure for myself." Dooku said as he got on his speeder.
"Oh, and what about me?" Naruto asked, looking at his master with a raised brow.
"If either one of them should get past me with the Huttlet, then you and those Magnaguards shall stop them and kill the Hutt." Dooku answered before zooming off into the distance.
Naruto was frozen in place at his masters words.
'Kill the Huttlet? Can I really do that? No, the bigger question is, can I bring myself to do that and live with myself later? Damn, why does life have to be so hard?' Naruto thought as he watched his master go.
Sometime later, night had fallen over the desert. Naruto was waiting hours for either Dooku or the Jedi to arrive. Though, he was starting to get board, very board.
"Ahhhh, when are they gonna show darn it?!" Naruto yelled with irritation as he lied back with his hands behind his head and legs dangling over a cliff.
"Damn, you'd think your master being a Sith Lord could handle some Jedi, but I guess I was wrong." Naruto said to himself, nonchalantly.
Unknown to Naruto, Ahsoka was nearing Jabba's Palace with Rotta tied around her back and R2 right behind her. Ahsoka soon stopped as she heard someone talking and looked up to see a persons legs hanging over a cliff where Jabba's Palace stood.
'Well, looks like R2 and I made it, but who's that at the cliff?' Ahsoka thought before deciding to ask.
"Jeez, I know Master Dooku said that I need to learn how to wait, but wait for how long dammit?" Naruto asked himself, shocking Ahsoka into silence.
'Did this guy just say Master Dooku? That means he's... A Sith!' Ahsoka thought with worry. 'This isn't good. I can't fight a Sith, but it looks like he hasn't noticed us yet.'
Ahsoka was about move while keeping her eyes on the Sith, but was surprised when he suddenly sat up and spotted them, showing that he was wearing a mask.
"Heh, looks like my master was right in knowing what you Jedi would try." Naruto said before jumping down, making Ahsoka ignite her lightsaber.
"Stay back Separatist Scum!" Ahsoka yelled, ready to defend herself until her master showed up.
"Sheesh, I don't attack you yet and you ignite your lightsaber without even asking my name?" Naruto questioned, surprising Ahsoka. "Well, I'll tell you my name weather you want to know it or not. The names Naruto Uzumaki, and you are?"
Ahsoka was a little surprised that the now named Naruto in front of her didn't attack first, but was not lowering her guard.
"Ahsoka Tano. Now move out of the way Sith!" Ahsoka yelled, ready in case he charged at her.
"Sorry, but I can't let you go past me. At least, not with him anyway." Naruto said, pointing toward Rotta.
"Fine, then I'll move you myself." Ahsoka stated before using the Force to push Naruto into a nearby sand dune.
She then started running to get to Jabba's Palace, but was stopped as three magnaguards stood up from under the sand.
"Like I said, you're not getting past me with the kid." Naruto said as got back up and behind Ahsoka. "Now, hand him over and make it easier for yourself."
"Not a chance!" Ahsoka yelled, making Naruto sigh in what she thought was sadness.
"Very well, but just know that I was only trying to help you." Naruto said before drawing his lightsaber and igniting the red blade.
He then charged at Ahsoka with his sword raised in the air for a downwards strike. Ahsoka quickly blocked the attack, but was not expecting the strong force behind it and was knocked back.
Ahsoka stared at him in surprise, but then noticed that the magnaguards started surrounding her. She quickly dodged a strike from the right and left before jumping over them. However, Naruto used the Force to throw her back further then she wanted and wounded up falling a steep dune with Rotta crying.
"Ugh, I thought you liked playing in the sand." Ahsoka said, both Rotta and herself coughing up sand.
Before she could say more, Naruto and the magnaguards soon landed in front of her.
"I'll say it again, give me the kid or-" Naruto began, but found himself and on of the magnaguards Force pushed away by Ahsoka, who soon charged at the other two droids.
She swung her lightsaber and cut one down before blocking the other one. As she was fighting, the sound of a speeder caught her attention and looked up to see her master overhead.
"Master! Master!" Ahsoka yelled, trying to get the other Jedi's attention, but no avail. "Uh, he never listens."
"Too bad, because even if he does make it to Jabba's palace, he'll be killed on sight." Naruto said as he also watched the Jedi Knight go by.
Ahsoka gritted her teeth as she fought off the last two magnaguards. She soon cut them both down. However, she would have been attacked by one that refused to stay down, but was saved R2 zapping it.
"Thanks R2y." Ahsoka said, but then focused on Naruto. "Okay Sith, it's just us now."
Naruto said nothing as he charged at Ahsoka, who did the same. In the flash of their blades, they passed each other. They both stood still for a moment before Naruto's head fell to the ground along with the rest of his body.
Ahsoka turned off her lightsaber before turning to R2.
"Come on R2, we have get Stinky to his father before it's too late." Ahsoka said she climbed the giant sand dune, only pausing a moment to give Naruto's decapitated body one last look before running up to Jabba's palace. However, if she had stayed longer, she would have seen Naruto's body disappear into a puff of smoke.
Later, Ahsoka had managed to bring Rotta to Jabba, with Anakin giving her some praise, before being held at gunpoint. However, Senator Padme Amidala spoke to Jabba via hologram, explaining that it was his uncle Ziro who had staged the whole thing along with Count Dooku. After word, Jabba made a treaty with the Republic.
Now, Ahsoka was speaking to Yoda, Anakin, and Obi Wan about what she went through before arriving at Jabba's palace.
"Another Sith you say?" Yoda asked, getting a nod from Ahsoka. "Hmm, proof we will need, before making any decisions."
"Yes master, follow me." Ahsoka said, leading the Jedi to where Naruto's body was, but found that it had completely disappeared without a trace. "B-But, he was right hear, I swear."
"Relax Snips, we're not saying that we don't believe you, but are you sure that you faced a Sith and not just some wannabe criminal?" Anakin asked.
"Yes I'm sure. No wannabe criminal can use the Force and I doubt that they can handle a lightsaber as easily as a Jedi." Ahsoka answered.
"Hmm, if that is the case then we should be on the look out for this Naruto Uzumaki." Obi Wan said, getting a nod from everyone.
"Agreed. Another Sith trained by Dooku, very dangerous he could be." Yoda said wisely before he the rest headed back to the Gunship. Unknown to them, they were being watched from overhead by Naruto, who eye smiled.
"Well, looks like I've made my presence known to the Jedi. Heh, I have a feeling that things are going to be interesting for me from this point on." Naruto said to himself, mostly looking at Ahsoka before walking off.
To Be Continued…
I hope you enjoyed the movie start of this story. As you can tell, Naruto didn't fight as hard or like a Sith, but it is obvious that the Jedi will be searching for him. I just didn't want make Naruto evil or over powering just yet. If I wanted to do that I would have used Menma over Naruto. Also, I want to know if I should make this a harem or not? If so, here's what I've got. Ahsoka, Aayla, Shaak Ti, and Barriss.
