Author's Note: This is a slight Naruto - Star Wars crossover, in the sense that I include concepts in the Star Wars universe, but no characters and certainly no technology, this will be purely Narutoverse jutsus and special abilities.
Disclaimer: I am only going to make one of these, as long as this doesn't need updating, consider this valid for all current and future chapters of this story: I do not own Naruto, or any characters, situations, powers, etc. associated with it, those rights go to Masashi Kishimoto. I do not own any concepts included, or characters referenced from the Star Wars universe either, those belong to George Lucas. I do own my O.C., though I do not own his name, Menma Uzumaki is by name, Kishimoto's, but in this story, he is the brain-child of myself, Obi-Wan and Minato and I don't expect him to be prostituted away to others without my permission, thank you for your understanding.
Author's Note no. 2: I will NOT reveal any pairings, that's just not the way I do things, likewise I will accept suggestions for future chapters but I will not do polls regarding plot decisions or things like that, this is MY story and I am writing it to share my own creation, if you want to do so with yours, feel free to post it to this site or another. Lemons may suddenly appear throughout the story, and this will be rated M, for violence and language and later events. That being said, this will NOT be a lemon-centric story, I will only include one if I feel it will be relevant to the story.
Now... on with the show!
Let's get one thing straight. I am a nerd. Not the type that wears huge glasses and acts like one because it is 'cool', no, that's a hipster, and they can do whatever they like with their lives and expect me to do the same. No, I am the type of nerd that gets obsessed with particular things and milks them for all that they are worth, be they books, video games, anime, movies, and so on and so forth. Now, I could list all the things that I mulled over, which would take possibly a few thousand words, or I could list the two most important in my life, currently, or rather... my previous life... previously. You'll understand what I mean soon enough. Those two things were Star Wars and Naruto. Now... people tend to separate those two but I prefer to keep a mindful connection, because Star Wars certainly contains elements from Japanese martial arts and so does Naruto, and then there's the whole Force – Chakra debacle, I'll get to that at a later date, I am also known as the Saki-Nobashi-no-Kami, The God of Procrastination, self-entitled, of course.
Anyhow, back on topic. I was so freaking obsessed with these two universes that I started to basically ignore my current... errr... previous life, so much so that I was basically a zombie. Yes, a zombie. No, I did not suck out people's brains and my I.Q. was still over 160, but I began to downgrade my time spent with other people as much as possible, school was pretty much just a chore, I did not pay attention at all, and for the life of me I can't understand how I was always in the top 3 of my class, I just figured I had insane genetics, and I started to study the ways of the Jedi Knights and Shinobi, respectively. I was a glorified otaku, not the fat, couch potatoes, no offence to chubby people, or people that have health issues, but you know the type that have doll collections all over their homes and shit. I trained my mind, and my body, to be perfect for the environment of the specific universes I loved. Even though I had literally no connection to chakra, and I was certainly NOT force-sensitive, midi-chlorians weren't real, I realised that, but I still learned all the hand seals, some jutsus that I had no hope of ever actually performing, and I'm not talking about just the hand seals, all the theory behind the technique was in my head, and because I didn't know my affinity, I basically learned my fair share of all of them. One of my minor obsessions were martial arts, of course, and I had training in Judo and MMA fighting, those were under a sensei, I also privately trained in aikido and ju-jitsu, the Japanese art, not the Brazilian one. I intimately studied the Jedi Code and of course owned a copy of the Jedi Path manual, I also trained in the first five forms of lightsaber combat, the final two were kinda hard to learn, the former was heavily reliant on actual force use, which I could not account for, even more so than the second and fourth forms that relied on physical enhancement and the latter was basically channelling inner darkness towards combat, which seemed so utterly Sith-like to me that I could not stomach it, I also meditated a whole lot and lived my life following the Jedi Code, at least the one later taught by Luke Skywalker in almost-canon works, in which compassion and love go hand in hand. On a similar line of thought, have you ever wondered how Anakin and Naruto are both children of prophecy with huge midi-chlorian and chakra reserves, respectively, and that have the power of a. bringing balance to the Force/chakra and/or b. bringing peace to the Universe? Yeah, I wondered about that, A LOT. Not to say it isn't an overused idea, but we're really stretching on a lot of words here, the gist of the issue is that I was insane, or rather... I didn't quite live in the 'real' world... and the fact that I could accomplish some freaky things in the 'real' world was quite... encouraging. When I was a kid I could lift spoons, many spoons with only a dab of my palm on them, they stuck to me like I was a damn magnetic field! I had quite a knack for technology, I was for all intents and purposes a prodigy and I studied all types of interesting materials and also blacksmithing, I basically designed and forged my own dual-action hidden blade, from the Assassin's Creed series, because I found it a challenge, and people kept saying it was impossible to be done... Again, going off-topic. I was 17, yes, practically a teenager, and if you haven't figured it out yet, a male. Imagine my surprise, when I meditating one day, trying to get a feel for the Force that supposedly coursed through all things, be they living or not when I apparently fell asleep, or so I thought.
A few confusing, terrifying and certainly strange hours later, on a hospital bed, next to a rather cute if I may say so, blond baby, with whisker-marked cheeks. That's not even the strange part, I had to go through childbirth... truly, truly horrifying, it seems that babies cannot vomit when they are being born, because I was certainly gagging all the way through. And now here I am, a baby, short hands, short feet, the whole package. I tried speaking a few fords, but frankly all that came out were a few vowels, mainly As and Es. Over the next few days, my worries, or should I say hopes, were cemented, I was in the Narutoverse, certainly, if not for the mini-Naruto next to me, we were visited a few times by a man that certainly looked a lot like a teenage Kakashi, who already had the Sharingan, and the old man, the Third.
I learned a few things right away, the spoken language was funnily enough, English. Well... not entirely, they had the Japanese honorific titles, and used quite a lot of Japanese words, it was all too amazing to me. What is more, I was apparently Naruto's twin brother, maybe a fraternal twin because the few times I saw myself in reflective surfaces I had blonde hair with a few red streaks on the fringe and my eyes were of the same vibrant blue but with an almost purple centre, mixing in the middle to form a kind of blueish violet. I could see both Minato and Kushina in my appearance and it didn't seem quite me, if anything, it would take me quite a bit of time to get used to my new identity.
What positively freaked me out the most though was... my name. I was now Menma Uzumaki. Getting over the initial shock of sharing a name with an alternate universe EVIL Naruto... what is wrong with these people, my apparent parents?! Naming their sons after ramen ingredients? Seriously? I cried a little inside, and outside too, I needed a diaper change again. Damnable babies. I hate babies even when I am the literal embodiment of one. Getting over the fact that my parents were probably ramen-addicts, I promptly noticed that I possessed the same whisker marks as Naruto, they felt a little rough to the touch but very pleasant to fondle, I could feel myself almost purring at my exploring touches, which brought me to a few conclusions – in canon, half of the Kyūbi's power, specifically the Yang part, the 'light' and physical part was sealed in Naruto, and the other half, the Yin part, the 'dark' and spiritual part was sealed in Minato, taking it with him to the death, apparently things didn't happen quite the same this time around, there would be no point in doubting the fact that the Yang part was sealed in Naruto, which would mean that I was now one of two jailers of the Kyūbi's power, and while I would not have a cool red chakra cloak and solid chakra arms coming out of my body, I would not get a boost to speed, power and defence, I would however be, at least theoretically, in tailed beast mode, a god at casting genjutsu, healing jutsu and possibly enhancing any Sage Mode I would have learned and also lightning jutsu, and if I mastered it enough, maybe even create matter – now that would be amazing, although that would require mastery which is, in theory, next to impossible to achieve if you are, quite frankly, the only user of Yin since the damn Sage of the Six Paths.
We were soon moved to an orphanage, and it was certainly scary, I could feel the hateful glares of basically every caretaker, except a younger, dark-haired teen girl, possibly unaware of our prisoner and I discovered the wonders of baby bottles – the stuff was amazing! I couldn't remember milk tasting as good in the 'real' world and I certainly didn't mind drinking the stuff for another few months.
The lack of human interaction was a bit disheartening, but not overly so, I was used to spending my time alone and I was only now delving inside my own chakra network, it felt quite a lot like how I imagined the Force would feel when I finally sensed it, I could feel a river flowing not only through me, but through everything around me, especially my baby brother, Naruto was less like a river and more like Hurricane Katrina and strangely, it didn't feel bad at all, it felt quite nice, feeling all that energy, I was now glad that I memorised the whole of the Jedi 'manuscripts' available to the fans, it really was a new experience and I could use all the help I could get, of course I used my current chakra knowledge as well, but I tried to combine the two, I figured they really were alike – the invisible force that binds all things together, one can use it to fortify their physical characteristics, to sense others, to view in the past and the future ( Gamamaru, anyone? ), to influence the minds of others ( genjutsu? ), to manipulate objects via telekinesis ( Deva path? This can probably be done without the Rinnegan, going to have to figure that out at some point ), and of course there's the more powerful dark-side techniques like Force Lightning, which is basically seal-less, pure Raiton ( Lightning Release ) manipulation.
I had no idea how things would go from here, but I wanted to keep things as canon as I could up to a certain point, I wouldn't try to save everybody – that would just be impossible and other problems would arise because of it, I will try to influence things for the better, and take things one at a time, dealing with Mizuki or Zabuza are certainly unimportant in a greater scale – Akatsuki and Madara are way more important and I will focus on preparing myself to face the greater dangers that they would present, for I am now a shinobi following the honour bound way of the Jedi Knights.
