Chapter 11: Thinking About the Future
It had been two days since Naruto had fought Exar Kun and Naruto had been given a break after defeating him which was why he was now waking up late in the afternoon today. Looking over expecting to see Padme Naruto was disappointed when he saw a note on the pillow saying she left to go to work "Oh well" Naruto said as he got up and got dressed walking past a mirror which he looked into and noticed that his eyes were still orange. "I really should figure out why that happened" Naruto said to himself before leaving to go to the Jedi Temple.
XXXXX Some Time Later At the Jedi Temple
Naruto was walking in one of the many hallways of the Jedi Temple when he saw Obi-Wan and Anakin "Hey guys wait up!" Naruto shouted as ran to catch up to them.
"Oh hello Naruto I haven't seen you in a while" Obi-Wan said to his friend once he caught up to them but then he noticed Naruto's eyes "Naruto what happened to your eyes?"
"Oh yeah its a little side effect I think of something I tried doing in my last assignment" Naruto replied.
"Oh yes I had heard of your last assignment well actually everyone has but congratulations on defeating the Sith by yourself" Obi-Wan praised his friend as he gave him a pat on the back.
"It was nothing really" Naruto said as he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment at hearing that everyone knew about his last assignment and how he defeated Exar Kun 'I guess everyone knows because of those soldiers telling everyone that I saved them from the Sith' Naruto thought.
"Master why are you congratulating him what he did was reckless going alone and you are always chastising me for being reckless" Anakin spoke up for the first time not liking how Obi-Wan was praising Naruto for his mission.
"Because Anakin my young padawan Naruto is much more experienced and knows to keep his focus" Obi-Wan told Anakin who wasn't really happy with the answer he received and decided to just keep quiet.
"Well it was nice seeing you guys but I'm going to go this way" Naruto said as he pointed down the hallway behind the master and apprentice. So they exchanged goodbyes and went their separate ways with Naruto heading to the Jedi Library "Hmm might as well as do some reading maybe there is something that can explain why my eye color changed"
It was on the way there though that Naruto bumped in to a youngling that looked like a girl Togruta "I'm sorry I didn't see you there" Naruto apologized as he helped her back up.
"Oh my god it's you!" said the youngling excited as she jumped up and down.
"Uh…what?" was all Naruto could think of to say confused since he had never seen this person before.
"You're the Jedi Knight Naruto Namikaze right the one who defeated the Sith? Well I'm Ahsoka Tano," said Ahsoka.
"Well it's nice to meet you Ahsoka and you can just call me Naruto by the way" Naruto said as he smiled and shook her hand. "Shouldn't you be in like a class or something like that?" Naruto asked.
"Actually today Master Yoda said that we should find a Jedi Knight and follow them around for the day so…" Ahsoka said as she tried to give Naruto the puppy dog eyes.
Seeing this caused Naruto to sigh, "Fine come on" Naruto said as he lead the way to the Jedi Library with Ahsoka following behind him.
XXXXX Jedi Library
"Why are we here?" Ahsoka whined not really expecting Naruto to be the reading type of guy since from what she had heard he was supposed to be some type of badass.
"We're here because I need to read up on something but so far I don't think it'll be here" Naruto said since no matter where he looked nothing said anything about changing of the eye color how ever there was one about changing of the gender but Naruto decided to stay clear of that one.
"So Naruto…what was the first lesson that you learned?" asked a bored and curious Ahsoka. Hearing her question Naruto's mind went straight to the memory of his bell test with his team and Kakashi. "Hello Naruto are you there!?" Ahsoka said loudly snapping him out of his nostalgia.
"Huh oh yeah the first lesson I learned was a very important one" Naruto said as he sat down in a chair.
"So what was it?" Ahsoka asked as she sat down in a chair next to him.
"Those who break the rules are scum, that's true, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum" Naruto said trying to do his best impression of Kakashi as he got a bit of a faraway look in his eyes before he snapped out of it and looked at Ahsoka to see how she was reacting to what he said.
"Hmm I think I get it" Ahsoka replied as she got up but then froze when she saw Yoda walk towards them "oh no"
"Hello Naruto" Yoda said as he walked closer to them with his stick making a soft tapping sound every time he moved "Ahsoka in class you should be" Yoda said confusing Naruto until he realized that what Ahsoka had told earlier was probably not the truth.
"I'm sorry master it's just that…" Ahsoka looked at Naruto for help who sighed.
"Master Yoda it's my fault I saw her and didn't think she had any more classes so I wanted to give her some advice that helped me when I was learning." Naruto told Yoda who simply nodded and said that she would be forgiven this time but she would have to go back to class later and then walked away.
Once Yoda was gone Ahsoka turned to Naruto "Why did you cover for me?" she asked.
"Because I can sense that you'll become a strong Jedi in the future so I figured we could be friends and well you know my rule on friends" Naruto said as he stuck out his hand for a handshake.
"Yeah…thank you Naruto!" Ahsoka said shaking his hand and then running off to go back to her class.
'Heh well that was interesting I guess' Naruto thought as he got up to leave the Jedi Library. Once he left the Jedi Library Naruto went to the roof of the Jedi Temple so he could relax and maybe find some answer through meditating. Once Naruto reached the roof Naruto applied Force to his feet so he would be able to walk easier since it was really windy. "I guess I should get started" Naruto said to himself as he looked around and then sat down to meditate.
XXXXX Naruto's Mind
When Naruto opened his eyes he found himself in a hallway with one door all the way at the end which had a gold line coming out of it that led all the way to Naruto in fact when Naruto looked down he saw that the gold line was attached to him "Well then this is…new" Naruto said and then started walking toward the door and as he walked along the hallway the walls showed brief images of the fight he had with Exar Kun. Not really understanding what was going on when Naruto reached the door he opened it and walked through it only to find that he was in a huge white room except for the back wall, which was glowing with gold energy. This was all very strange for Naruto but what really surprised him even more was that the gold line was still attached to him except now it lead to the wall that was glowing with gold energy.
"Hmm okay I give up what the hell is this supposed to be?" Naruto said hoping for some type of answer and was happy when the image of the Third Hokage appeared just like in his dream from a long time ago.
"This Naruto is the area in which all of that energy that you used earlier is stored" The copy of the Third Hokage said as he pointed to the glowing wall in the back.
"Why were my eyes changed when I used this energy? Is it harmful to me?" Naruto asked wanting to make sure he was not harming himself by using this energy.
This time though before answering his question the copy of the Third changed back into its golden orb form and then transformed into Kakashi his old sensei "Using the energy is not harmful to you at all you just didn't know how to use it and because of that until know." Kakashi said as he cut the golden line "You were continuously pulling on the energy without knowing even though it was only a little that was why your eye changed color go ahead and look it should be fine now." the copy of Kakashi finished with an eye smile as the floor suddenly became flooded with enough water for Naruto to check his reflection and sure enough his eyes were back to their normal blue color.
"Okay that answers that but why did you change into Kakashi?" Naruto asked curious about this new development.
"Well you were apparently thinking about him earlier so I decided that it would best to take this form…yo!" Kakashi finished.
"Oh I guess that makes sense…so how do I use that energy?" Naruto asked as he looked at the glowing wall
"Oh to do that all you have to do is walk over to the gold energy and put the palm of your hand on it"
So Naruto did exactly as he was told and walked over to it and the first thing he noticed was that the energy was giving off a warm feeling. 'Alright I'm ready for this believe it!' Naruto thought with a smile on his face as he used his old catch phrase from when he was a kid as he placed the palm of his hand on the glowing energy and the second he did the room was flooded with the energy making Naruto close his eyes but the entire time he felt a tingling sensation all over his body. After several seconds Naruto opened his eyes to see Kakashi hovering over him "What…what happened?" Naruto asked as he got up from the floor.
"You were absorbing all of the energy so that you could use it on will do you remember how it felt?" Kakashi asked as he pulled out a small orange book.
"Yeah I do why?" Naruto asked as he looked to Kakashi for answers.
"Because when you want to use that energy all you have to do is concentrate on that feeling okay now get out of here!" Kakashi yelled as he gave Naruto a pat on the back and everything around Naruto turned dark
XXXXX Real World
Naruto opened his eyes only to find that a lot of time had passed and it was starting to get dark so Naruto figured that he might as well as head back home. On his way back Naruto passed a man who proposed to some woman who accepted. 'They seem really happy' Naruto thought as he began to picture all the times he was with Padme and how happy he is when he is with her 'Maybe sometime in the future we could get married' Naruto continued to think about it as a smile appeared on his face as he began to imagine what it would be like to be married to Padme.
Naruto continued to walk with a smile on his face until he reached the shopping district and decided that he was going to have a look around. Not wanting anyone to recognize him Naruto used the transformation jutsu to make him look as though he had black hair and was wearing more casual clothes instead of his normal Jedi attire. When he entered the shopping district he was looking through multiple windows of different shops when Naruto found one that sold expensive and beautiful jewelry 'Maybe I could just take a look around' Naruto thought as his mind drifted to Padme again.
Walking inside Naruto heard a jingle from a bell that was attached to the door "Hi my name is Jane how may I help you sir?" asked a cute looking women from behind the counter.
"Oh I'm just looking for right now and my name is Naruto by the way" Naruto said as he looked at some of the jewelry. He continued looking until he reached the counter where there a bunch of rings but only one really caught his eye since he thought that it would look nice on Padme.
"So you find one you like" said Jane right behind Naruto startling him "You know I feel as though I have heard your name before Naruto" she continued making Naruto begin to panic and start to sweat bullets "Your last name wouldn't by chance be Namikaze would it?" she asked but before Naruto could make an excuse she began to smile since his face said it all and she quickly put a closed sign on her door so no one would come in "Oh my god you are him but why would a Jedi be looking at engagement rings?" she questioned.
"I'm uh…please don't tell anyone" Naruto asked and was about to beg until she said okay "Wait really?" Naruto asked not believing it.
"Yeah after all you saved a lot of republican soldiers on Yavin 4 and my husband was one of them so what kind of person would I be if I didn't help you out" she said as she moved behind the counter and brought out the one Naruto had been looking at "Listen you don't seem like a bad guy so whoever this women is I hope she knows she is one lucky lady and I wish only the best for you two" Jane said as she handed him the ring which he put into his pocket.
"Shouldn't I pay you for this?" Naruto asked feeling bad that he was just getting this nice ring for free.
"Considering you saved my husband's life you've done more than enough now go be with your woman!" she said pushing him out the door not listening to Naruto's complaints that he should at least pay her at a little.
Once he was thrown out Naruto continued to make his way back but this time not through the streets since he wanted to get back as soon as possible.
XXXXX Home
Naruto had just arrived home when he took a seat on the couch and took out the ring so he could look at it again. "I was wondering when you would get here" said Padme from behind him making him fumble with the ring before he quickly put it back in his pocket before Padme could spot it.
"Yeah sorry I kept you waiting for so long I decided to take a walk before I came home" Naruto said turning around to face Padme.
"No problem I was just about to get dinner ready anyways." Padme replied as she made her way to the kitchen with Naruto following right behind her.
"So uh Padme I saw someone getting proposed to earlier and I was wondering what do you think about marriage?" Naruto said looking down at the floor but as soon as he asked that question Padme spun around.
"What like us getting married?" Padme asked surprised that Naruto was thinking about this.
"Well yeah maybe…in the future I mean" Naruto quickly said not wanting to rush anything.
"Well I don't see why not if it's in the future I mean after all we both love each other and it would be nice to be able to call you my husband" Padme said as she gave him a hug that Naruto returned.
XXXXX 1 Hour Later
Both Padme and Naruto had just finished dinner and Naruto had just made Shadow Clones to clean up so they could talk since they had both been so busy eating their food. "So beautiful how was your day?" Naruto asked curious about how her day went.
"Oh it was just the same thing a bunch of politicians bickering with each other never agreeing on one thing. How about you what did you do?" Padme replied appreciating the beautiful comment that Naruto had made.
"Oh you know figured out some things like my eyes are back to blue also thought about other things so you know nothing really interesting. After all I'm still on my break from my last assignment" Naruto said as they both got up and moved to the couch.
"So you figured out how to change your eye color back to normal that's nice" Padme said as she looked into his eyes glad that they were back to their normal blue color 'not to say that I hated the other color but I think I prefer him just the way he is' Padme thought to herself. "Alright well I'm going to go to sleep" Padme said right before she got up and went into the bedroom Leaving Naruto sitting on the couch "Come to bed when you want to sleep alright"
"Yeah I will" Naruto said before he brought out the ring he had gotten earlier one more time and then put it back in his pocket and got up from the couch to go to bed with Padme.
