Chapter 10
"You look like hell Bas." Revan said to the image of her sister Jedi, dead all these millennia.
The holocron image shifted. "And you look the same as you did when you left…no, you're happy…content…whole."
Revan studied the image of the woman she shared a bond with. "You made master. Hope you didn't bore your padawan's with rules and more rules."
The holocron image laughed. "Actually, I used you and Jaina as my idols."
Revan missed the woman who she considered her sister. "And who is this?" the holocron asked.
"My husband. Bastila, meet Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze."
"Greetings Naruto."
"Er, hi." The blond scratched the back of his head. The holocron's always unnerved him ever since he saw Revan's all those years ago.
"It has been a long time since my image has been called forth." Bastila said. "There are messages recorded in here for you Revan. Listen to them at your leisure."
"Why were you put here Bastila?" Revan asked.
"Jaina's idea. She thought you'd come to Nar Shadda some time. HK-47 was deactivated after a brutal battle, none were able to fix him properly, many didn't want to since he started to refuse even Jaina's orders."
Revan looked at the droid. "I built him so long ago."
"How long has passed?" Bastila asked.
"Over four thousand years." Revan said.
"Then I'm afraid the Ebon Hawk is probably no more. Canderous…sorry, Mandalore stored it on Dxun, but time on that moon will have ravaged it I'm afraid."
Revan nodded. "Now, collect this holocron, and your droid. We shall speak more when you wish."
"Thank you Bas." Revan said.
"Missed you brat." Bastila said as the holocron shut down. Naruto picked it up while Revan went to the droid.
"Well?" he asked seeing her looking at it. The frame was ruined, even he could see that.
"I can salvage his memory core, and personality unit, but the body is beyond repair."
Naruto watched as Revan pulled several tools from the kunai pouch she wore on her thigh. While Naruto carried weapons, his wife carried tools.
He watched as she worked on scavenging parts and then separated the head from the droids body.
"I'm amazed his heads intact." Revan said cradling it under her arm as she walked back to her husband.
"And you got upset when I carried Pein's head under my arm." Naruto muttered.
"Excuse me?" Revan asked.
"Nothing dear." Naruto said as he followed his wife.
"The difference husband of mine, is that Pein's head was a bloody mess by the time you were done and when we got back to Konoha all the fluids had drained out and it was just smelling bad." She held up the droids head. "HK's head is intact, not leaking fluids and when I get a chance I'll activate it and see what I can do about building him a new body."
"HK…wait, that crazy assassin droid you always talked about? That HK?"
Revan smiled. "Yes, that HK."
"He calls me meatbag I'll punt his head from here to Konoha."
Revan smiled. "I'll see what I can do, but no promises as it seemed to be programmed into every system and sub-system he had."
The pair made their way back out. Naruto looked at the rancor a moment. "Wonder what it would be like unleashing a few of these upon Oto?" he muttered.
"No." Revan said from next to him.
"But dear…"
"No Naruto. We are not transplanting creatures from my known galaxy upon your world. Think about it. If another person like Orochimaru or Sasuke got to power and had them…"
Naruto sighed. "Your right. I'm sorry."
"I know. You just like thinking of ways to protect those you care for. And while they might be gone, their legacy and yours will remain."
Naruto smiled thinking of his image next to Tsunade's on the Hokage Monument. "So, we collect Ben and Master Jinn, then what?" Naruto asked as they found a escape passage that would take them back to the surface.
"Well, we report to the Council of Masters, then you and I are going to work on some of your Force skills that I know you've been avoiding."
Naruto pouted. "But, I like my jutsu better."
Revan gave him a look, that wives across all the galaxies and dimensions give their husbands when they say something that they feel is stupid.
"You like the explosions. I swear, you and Anko have to be related."
"Hey, you leave Anko out of this." Naruto said.
"Oh no I'm not. I still have those pictures." Revan said and Naruto stopped and looked at her in shock. "You promised you'd not hold those against me."
Revan smiled at her husband. "No I didn't. I said I would think about not using them. But then your drinking buddy let slip that she saw you naked…"
Naruto groaned. "Wasn't my fault. She used a fire jutsu and burned off my clothes. I dived into the water…"
"And she just happened to fall in right?" Revan asked. He didn't see the smile, as he was busy trying to think of a way out of the doghouse for something that happened nearly thirty years ago.
"And I think I need to be reassured my husband loves me." Revan said.
Naruto heard the teasing in her voice and smiled. "And how will I do that my love? Is there any form of barter I can offer?"
Revan laughed as they took the lift up. She smiled as her husband nibbled her neck below her ear, whispering suggestions of what he could do in trade. Thank the Force HK's deactivated, I would hate for him to mention anything Naruto's planning on…oh, that sounds good. She thought as one suggestion had her eyes rolling up into her head while his hands massaged her ribs and teased her breasts while staying over her robes.

A grinning Naruto and a flushed Revan rejoined Obi-wan and Qui-Gon twenty minutes later.
"Are you okay?" the padawan asked seeing Revan's flushed condition.
"Never better." She said putting the droid head on the table.
"What…"
"Gentlemen, meet HK-47, a very old friend." Revan said stealing Qui-Gon's tea and sipping it.
"Did the refugees enjoy the donation?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, they were most appreciative of such a large amount. It will allow them to buy medical supplies and food and blankets for all."
Naruto nodded and Revan could see him thinking. "Are we finished then?" she asked.
Qui-Gon nodded. "Just need to get back to the transport and we can head back anytime."
Revan looked at the droid head. "I want to visit a couple of stalls before we go. I need to see if I can find parts or a frame for him."
"Wouldn't you have more luck on Coruscant?" Obi-wan asked. Revan smiled and shook her head. "Doubt it. Most of his original parts I hand made. I have a feeling I'll be doing that as well for a new body."
Qui-Gon was looking at the droid head. "I don't think I've ever seen a style like this before."
"I'm sure you wouldn't." Revan said leaning against Naruto. "When I made HK, I was just starting down my path as a sith lord. He was my bodyguard and more importantly, he was an assassin droid."
Obi-wan gasped. "And you want to rebuild him, whatever for?"
Revan smiled as she patted the deactivated droid head, "He was my friend. And even when I became a Jedi he stood by me and fought for the Republic."
Qui-Gon put a hand on his padawan's shoulder to stop him from saying something else.
"I think we need to get going." Naruto said in a low voice and the three Jedi looked at him. Revan saw his gaze.
"Son of a hutt." She muttered seeing the heavily armed trio of Trandoshan coming their way after the bartender pointed at them.
"I don't think they like the fact I won so much in the arena." Naruto said standing up. He looked at the others.
"Get to the ship…I'll only be a moment."
Revan grabbed the head of her droid and kissed her husband on the lips. "Come on you two." She said heading for the backdoor.
"You're just going to leave him against a bar full of thugs?" Obi-wan asked incredulously as his Master pushed him along.
Revan snorted. "He won't kill them unless they force him to."
"What about them killing him?" Obi-wan asked as they were moving along the vast catwalks.
Revan laughed. "They won't." behind them several explosions could be heard, and as a door opened they heard a shout of "DAIBAKUHA KAGE BUNSHIN!"
Revan winced. "We won't have to pay for damages…right?"
Explosions could be heard and the door hissed shut again as the trio continued on.

Naruto looked around the smoking remains of the bar and sighed. "I am so not paying for this." He muttered as he picked the pockets of the downed bounty hunters and the patrons that had decided to join in. He got a storage scroll and sealed away weapons and armor that he thought he could sell. The credits he set aside in a pouch.
I can get something for Rev later. He smiled. And maybe visit Dex and get some ramen. He giggled a bit thinking he's about to pull one over on his wife.
At a vendor's stall near the spaceport, Revan stopped in mid haggle. My wife senses tell me my husband is about to do something stupid and try and pretend it was okay.
:Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, whatever it is, forget it. I am watching you.: she sent thru their bond.
:Aw, Rev, I find your lack of faith disturbing. It's me.:
Revan sighed. :I know, that's why I'm telling you now, whatever you have in that ramen addicted mind of yours, forget it. And YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DEX'S DINER MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK!:
:Crap.:
Revan smiled as she went back to haggling over parts with the Toydarian.
AN: Back on Corusant and a chapter there, then we should be entering the movie territory, which is not going to follow the whole thing as we all know that any plans around Naruto always go out the window. No I'm not telling who or what Naruto summoned. That's a surprise for later on in the story. Konoha will only be seen in mention and a flashback here and there. The story is now. I might go back when this is done and write it out, but that won't be for some time.
