Hey everyone! I'm here for Chapter 1! Yay! Well before we get this train a rollin', I have something to address and something to announce.

First of all, it was brought to my attention that there may have been some confusion as to why everyone is calling Atin Cabur, Mandalore when that is the name of their home planet. So let me clear that up for you. The Mandalorian race named themselves after their first leader, Mandalore the First. The title of Mandalore is given to the leader of the entire race. When one Mandalore dies, the next worthy takes his place. So for those confused, Naruto is not being adopted by some random Mandalorian. He is being adopted by the leader of the entire Mandalorian race.

Secondly, I will not be posting any updates to either of my stories until some time next week. Why is this? Because today is my birthday! Yay Me! However it is not just any birthday, it is my 21st birthday. So, being the good green-blooded Irish boy that I am. I plan on drinking and celebrating all through this week and Saint Patty's Day. I promise to update as soon as I finish nursing my hangover.

With that said, let's get this train a movinn'! Whoo Whoo!

Namikaze Naruto, Son of Mandalore

Chapter 1: Enter the Mandalorian Shinobi

Konohagakure, Hokage Tower, BBY 861 ((AN: BBY means Before Battle of Yevin. So like BC, the lower the number, the later the date.))

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage, stood at the window of his office gazing out across the village with a worried look across his face. Today was a day that he had been waiting for for over fifteen years. Today was the day that his late successor's son was to return to his home. He worried if the Mandalorians, as they referred to themselves, would keep their word. The elderly Kage remembered that dreadful night fifteen long years ago like it was yesterday. The day he made that deal with the strange, armored men.

~Flashback no Jutsu~

Hiruzen hurried to the canyon were the Kyuubi no Kitsune had disappeared accompanied by his student, Jaraiya, as well as several of the Shinobi Clan heads, specifically Tsume Inuzuka, Hiashi Hyuuga, and Shibi Aburame. They rushed as fast as they can as they saw the Kyuubi from the distance glow brightly before disappearing.

"Hiashi-san, can you see what's going on with your Byakugan?" The veins around Hiashi's eyes bulged as he activated his clan's doujustu.

"The Kyuubi is gone, Sarutobi-sama. However I can see… Minato's dead." The group was shocked. Even the usually stoic Shibi gave an audible gasp. Jaraiya's eyes began to water at the loss of his student. However they were brought back from their thoughts as Hiashi spoke again.

"Kushina-san is there as well, she seems to be dying as well. But they aren't alone." That got everyone's attention. Jaraiya's tears fell as his face formed into an angry sneer.

"How many?"

"There's five men standing above them. One them is taking something from her… It's a baby!" Jaraiya and Sarutobi bolted at that as they ran full speed to the canyon. They landed in front of the men. They were joined by the clan heads seconds later. All of them prepared for battle.

Their entrance however, was quite noisy. And unfortunately the men had incredibly high reflexes as four of the five men had immediately jumped and pointed their strange weapons at the group. The only one not pointing one of the weapons was the one holding the newborn. It was at this moment that the gathered ninja took in the men's strange armor.

All of them seemed to be uniform in design. Large plates of metal covering sections of their arms, legs, torsos, and shoulders, but what was truly odd was their helmets. Their helmets were tall with dome shapes at the top. On the face were two indents that accentuated a large black 'T' shape were their eyes and mouths were located. On their backs were large backpacks of sorts whose function the ninja couldn't even begin to guess. However what their armor design lacked in diversity, it made up for in their paint schemes. The colors varied from reds and blacks to greens, purples, blues, and whites.

"[What do you want us to do Mand'alore? I've got the white haired one right in my sights.]" Said the one pointing his rather large weapon right at Jaraiya's head. He spoke in a weird language that none of them could comprehend. His armor was deep gray color with a jet black color to his plating and blood red highlights I his armor. He addressed their leader as the ninja looked at the man.

He was dressed in the exact same style of armor as the rest of his group. His armor was painted in the opposite color scheme as his subordinate. With his armor being red with black highlights. He also wore a large black cape over his shoulders that reached about half a foot off of the ground. However this wasn't what everyone paid attention to. What held the ninja's focus was the newborn child he held in his arms.

"Stand down men. That's an order. I'm sure that we can resolve this peacefully. Besides, I just got Naruto here to stop crying." The man said as he held the child in his arms. The Mandalorians lowered and holstered their weapons as did the gathered ninja. Yet all of them remained tense as all focus shifted to the Mandalorian leader.

Atin hadn't bothered to put his helmet back on. He was a rugged man. His hair was short and black. It spiked out in many directions. He had scar across his left brow from his first battle, however other than that his skin was unblemished. Many would consider him to be handsome under different circumstances. Hiruzen spoke up to the man.

"Who are you people?" The elderly Kage asked.

"My name is Atin Cabur. I am also known as Mandalore the Unrelenting. I am leader of the Mandalorian race." He pointed to the man in black armor, followed by the ones in purple, white, and blue armor.

"This is the captain of my personal guard, Devastis Kilheg (1), our scout, Kal Aranov (2), Medic, Esok Beskar (3), and our Sniper, Kote Mar'e (4). And who might you be?" Atin's voice was calm, yet it commanded authority. Hiruzen decided to give him some information in exchange for their side of the story.

"I am Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sandaime Hokage, and leader of Konohagakure. These are Inuzuka Tsume, Hyuuga Hiashi, Aburame Shibi and my student, Jaraiya of the Sennin. Now will you tell me why you are holding my late successor's child why standing over the bodies of him and his wife." The Hokage said in a demanding tone.

"Very well, you see we come for a land far, far from here and were exploring when we came across…" Atin proceeded to recall the events leading to the Hokage's arrival, including Naruto's adoption. Hiruzen seemed satisfied that they were telling the truth.

"I can't let you keep the boy, Cabur-san." Devastis became indignant at the informal address.

"You should refer to him as Lord Madalore! He is not some regular soldier."Atin signaled him to remain quiet.

"It's quite alright. Now Lord Hokage, as to your request, I'm afraid that handing over my son is out of the question." Jaraiya stepped forward pointing an accusatory finger at Atin.

"What makes you think I'll allow you to just steal my student's son right from his parent's arms!"

"I am not stealing Naruto. I am merely adopting him. I promised his mother, Kushina, that I would raise him as my own and I intend to do exactly that." Jaraiya was taken aback. Kushina actually handed her son over to these strangers? Hiruzen stepped forward in front of his student.

"Perhaps we can come to a compromise. I'm sure his father would have wanted him to become a shinobi when he gets older. However as you have adopted the boy, you must raise him your way. So I propose this. You raise him in the ways of your people until he is fifteen. At that time he will be of age to graduate the Academy here. At that time, he will become a member of our shinobi forces." Atin thought it over for several minutes before giving his answer.

"That sounds reasonable. However he will need the materials needed to learn what is necessary in your academy. He will also need books on your language. Your people seem to speak a slightly different dialect and I would not like him to get confused."

"Alright. I will gather the necessary items." The Hokage said as he extended his hand. Atin shook the old man's hand, sealing their deal.

"He will return to you in fifteen years time."

~Kai~

The elderly Kage was stirred from his recollections when he saw an object in the distance fall from the sky. Deep in his gut he knew it was going to be alright as he gave an optimistic smile. Several hours later the sun began to set and the Hokage still sat patiently in his office waiting for his visitor. Then he heard what he was expecting, a knock on the door.

"Come in." The doors opened and in stepped in a young man of fifteen. He wore black pants, boots, and tunic with a burnt orange long sleeve shirt underneath and another orange sash tying his outfit together. His golden blonde hair was spiked and some of it fell into his face. However the Kage could clearly see his brilliant cerulean eyes and whisker marks on his cheeks. Yep, this was definitely who he was expecting.

"Welcome back Naruto-kun. I've been expecting you for some time. Have a seat." Naruto bowed politely and took his seat.

"Thank you Hokage-sama. My father told me that I was to become a ninja like my birth parents. That it was their wish." The Hokage was slightly taken aback by how formal and polite the young man was.

"Yes. But in order to get you more acquainted with your future comrades, we will have you attend the Academy for the remaining month. Then you will be able to graduate with the rest of your peers." Naruto nodded in acknowledgement.

"That sounds reasonable enough. However there is one sight problem." The Hokage raised a brow. "There is one jutsu in the material that was provided me that I am unable to perform. The Bushin no Jutsu. Given what I have learned it would seem that I have to large of reserves to perform such a technique. Are there perhaps other forms of this that I could learn?"

"Yes. In fact I think I have just the one for you." Sarutobi took out a scroll and began to write in it before handing it to the boy. "I think this will help you out immensely." Naruto looked at the jutsu.

'Kage Bushin no Jutsu huh? Seems interesting.'

"Thank you Hokage-sama. I appreciate your help. Is there anything else that you would like to talk to me about?"

"Yes. I think I should show you to your new home." Hiruzen stood up and led him towards the outskirts of the village and finally they ended up in front of a large complex sealed off by a large gate.

"This was your birth parent's home. And now it's yours. Before I go there are things I have to tell you. First of all, I have decided to keep your true name a secret to protect you from your father's enemies. When the time comes, your name will be made public. Secondly, I have decided to make you head of a new clan, The Mandalorian clan. As such you have all the rights of a clan head. All the details are in this scroll." The Kage handed him a scroll entitled "Clan Laws of Konoha" as well as a slip of paper with an address on it."Be here tomorrow at 7:30 in the morning. Welcome home Naruto." With that the Hokage left the young man to explore his new home. Naruto stepped through the gate and made his way through the beautiful courtyard filled with many different kinds of flowers and plant life. He stepped inside and found himself in a large entryway/living room. To his right he could see a large kitchen as well as several hallways leading in various directions. To his left was a staircase leading to the upper levels of the house. He lied down on the couch and made himself comfortable. He'd explore at a later time.

"[Well buir (5), looks like this is the start of something very interesting.]" The young Mandalorian said to himself before closing his eyes and drifting into slumber, anticipating the next day.

And that is Chapter 1 folks! How will Naruto get along with his fellow classmates? How will they react to the new student? Will Naruto learn the Kage Bushin by graduation... Okay we all the answer to that one. BUT STILL! Find out in the next chapter of Namikaze Naruto, Son of Mandalore!
