Chapter 1 Flashforward: Lothal

5BY

Naruto has grown over the years as a good young man. He lived with his father on Tatooine for good number of years and started his training to become like his father, a Jedi. Obi-wan was so sure at first but in time he did trained his son and remember that the Jedi of now must be hidden from the Empire until the time is right. His Jedi Training started off with his father and soon Obi-wan then direct him to Yoda on Dagobah to learn more force abilities and finally when at the right age travel on his own, he trains a bit under Rahm Kota on Bespin, who taught him things like the Seventh Form, Juyo.

While taking Jedi training, Naruto also learn from his aunt on being a True Mandalorian for the free Mandalore one day. He learns close quarters combat, piloting a starfighter, using different guns, and fight with honor to those that have honor. Jedi and Mandalorian Training helps the young man out a lot.

Now Naruto was on his own and on planet that he felt that could use his help. He visits his father any times he gets and follows his own path which his father was fine and proud of. He had short blonde hair being like his father during his days as a Jedi Knight which he plans on growing out a little bit, blue eyes, and fair skin. He wore blue jacket, black shirt with a red Mandalorian symbol on the front side, battle boots, gloves, belt that carried a few things like his lightsaber and two hip holsters that carried his twin pistols his aunt gave to him.

Naruto had landed on Lothal through a local transport ship with a fake name and exited once they landed on Lothal. He had a feeling through the force that he should be here for some reason and could feel something off. Not a bad way he senses but a good one like a friend that the two will met soon enough.

The young Jedi in hiding walks through the streets of Lothal and could still senses that feeling that someone or more were close by in the Force. He had feeling he will find out soon enough but that was push aside when he felt that bump into someone which caused the two to fall.

The person that Naruto bump into was young female Mandalorian and wore some colorful from the looks. She was walking around to met up with her fellow crew/friends but didn't look where she was going and bump into someone that the two falls onto the ground.

"I'm sorry lady. I didn't look where I was going," Naruto said as he got up and bring his hand out to help the young woman up on her feet.

The female Mandalorian took the helping hand and said, "Thanks. Sorry I bump into you."

"That's fine, the fault was mine. I was paying attention to where I was going. This is my first time coming to Lothal," Naruto said, having this odd feeling to talk a stranger fine and not worried.

He would not talk to stranger due to not knowing first and do small talks, but this was different from other talks he had before.

"I see. Plan on staying long?" The Mandalorian asked.

Naruto shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't know, maybe. I happen to travel to one place to another. So, I am not so sure, but I have feeling that staying on Lothal might be something great. But who knows."

"True. So, got a name?" The colorful Mandalorian asked, crossing her arms on her chest.

"Naruto," Naruto replied with a kind smirk on his face and not telling his full name due to how must know his father's action doing the Clone Wars.

Better safe than sorry.

"Sabine," The Mandalorian, now Sabine said as she uncrossed her arms and placed her right hand on her hip.

"Well Sabine, could be so kind and show me the nearby place for a drink. Maybe some Jawa juice?" Naruto said, feeling a little bit need of a drink and get some water for his bottle.

"Sure, just follow me, blondie," Sabine said as she led the way to the closest place for a drink.

"Of course, paint girl," Naruto said with a smirk on his face as he walked with the girl.

"Paint girl?" Sabine asked the nickname which was fine with.

"Yeah, you wear such a colorful armor and it screams a good work of art. So why not," Naruto responded.

He had seen different kinds of Mandalorian armor before from his aunt but this one must be greatest, he has ever seen before. It could be the best one he ever seen.

"You are a fan of art?" Sabine asked, wanting to see someone dose art like her.

"I seen art over my travels. I have been thinking on painting but never found the time to do it. I know how to paint and do love art," Naruto answered as the two turn to left.

"Well you in luck, Naruto, I happen to be the best arties around. Maybe I can give you some lessons if you want," Sabine offered.

She knows that she has job soon enough, but a small talk won't hurt, and she has time before she needs to regroup.

Naruto nodded his head and said, "I think I will take you up to that offer, Sabine. Maybe another time since I just got here and want to rest for awhile after a long travel to Lothal."

Sabine nodded her head, understanding and will not rush it.

Soon enough the two kept walking and talked like friends will to the diner. It felt like hours to them but was just minutes as they enjoy their talk and part ways.

Naruto was happy to meet someone nice like Sabine and had a feeling she was more then she seems. He had a feeling that the two will met again and have a full good along talk about the other.

Little did he know was that something was about to happen, and he had a role to play soon enough.

Small Time Skip

Naruto had enjoyed his time at the diner and drink of Jawa juice. He soon left the diner with some water and food, walking around the streets of Lothal until he saw some Stormtroopers coming to him.

"Who are you?" The Commander asked, not remembering see the blonde-haired person before.

"Just arrived on Lothal. Is there a problem?" Naruto replied/asked the question.

"No sir, just that you are new here and we need to see some indirection," The Commander said.

Naruto looked around with his eyes and saw no one around, which will make this easy for him and to avoid trouble with some Imperials.

"You don't need to see my indirection," Naruto said with a small wave with his left hand, using an old Jedi Mind Trick he learned.

"We don't need to see your indirection," The Stormtrooper said, having the others agreed.

"This is not the person you are looking for," Naruto said, again waving his left hand.

"This is not the person we are looking for," The Stormtrooper said.

"I can go about my business," Naruto said.

"You can go about your business sir," The Commander said.

"Move along."

"Move along, move along sir. Let's move out men," The Commander ordered as he and his men walked to another part of the streets.

Naruto smiled on how the Mind Trick works on the weak minds these days and started to go about his business. He then stopped his walk as he felt something close by and turn around to see who it was, but star at a building and could guest that he senses was on the other side. The blonde walked towards where he sensed the person nearby and kept a low profile from the Stormtroopers he saw in this part of town.

The blonde Jedi saw a young man that looked like a smuggler with brown hair and green eyes, but he senses something was odd about this man and could feel some of the force within him. Jedi maybe but he can't be so sure due on how well the smuggler was hiding it.

Naruto soon saw the smuggler walking towards what it looks like a purple furred big foot looking creature that he could tell that he is a Lasat and strong one from the looks it. The smuggler then tapped his hip holster which caused the Lasat to move and then walked towards where he saw Sabine getting the same single as well.

The blonde could tell that something was going as he saw a young boy with blue hair and eyes on a rooftop smiling on what might happen. Now this was getting interesting

Sabine walked pass a speeder before throwing small thermal detonator on the speeder which caused the trooper to look at her and soon turn around to see the detonator. Soon enough the speeder exploded and caused the troopers to look around for the one that caused the mess but soon failed to notice the boy taking their speeds with of weapons away.

The young man and Lasat took speeders as well and went after the boy. Some Stormtroopers took speeders and went after them.

This caused Naruto to follow them by jumping from rooftop to rooftop and soon saw Sabine jumping onto the boy's speeder. She pointed a gun at him but didn't shoot him and warn him that the big guy might get him. She then shoots one of weapon crats off and started to make her way away from Imperial forces which the blonde followed her.

"Hey paint girl," Naruto greeted as he jumped off the rooftop and down on the ground before the Mandalorian which she was shock to see the young man she met before her.

"Naruto!? What are doing here?" Sabine asked in shock on seeing blonde now and at a bad time.

Before Naruto could answered, three Stormtroopers came in with their blasters pointed at them.

"Hold it right there!" The commander ordered.

"Okay," Naruto said before giving Sabin a smirk and wink, telling her that he will deal with them.

With no time to waste, Naruto draw out his pistole with quick motion and fire at the troopers like it was simple to him. Three shots went off and hit the heads of the Stormtroopers, causing them to fall die on the ground.

Sabine was shock on how quick Naruto fired at the troopers, almost like he knows what to do and it remind her of her crew leader. She hummed and wonder if the two were the same, but she can't be so sure and soon saw a Mandalorian mark on his chest. That symbol belongs to the True Mandalorian fighters. Now she wanted some questions answered and now.

Sabine pointed her pistole at the blonde and spoked in Mandalore, "Where did you get that symbol?"

Naruto raised an eyebrow as he placed his pistol away and know from his aunt Mandalore language. So, he knows who to speak the language of a warrior.

"My aunt gave me this symbol on my birthday," Naruto replied in Mandalore language, causing painter to be shock that he could Mandalore like her.

"Sorry about that," Sabine said as she placed her pistole away, thinking that she might broke a friendship with a fellow Mandalorian and has been a long while since she met one.

"That's fine. You are not first to ask me or tried to shoot me for wearing a symbol of the True Mandalorian fighters. I get that lot," Naruto said, waving it off with a smile on his face. (1)

"You don't say. How come you never question me when we first met of my armor?" Sabine asked.

"You wear that armor like a second skin…and very colorful if I might add," Naruto replied.

Sabine chuckled a little and said, "True very true, but I got a job to do."

The blonde agreed and saw the Mandalorian's wrist comm beeping, being her leader and wonder what is going on.

"Understandable but maybe I could help you with causing trouble and together we can earn back the time you hold up," Naruto offered.

Sabine wasn't so sure at first but seeing his quickdraw skills and the offer was good to say at least.

"I don't see why not. Try to keep up, blondie," Sabine said as she started to push the weapon box with her away from the ally hall with Naruto following behind her.

"I don't plan to fall behind, Paint girl," Naruto said as he kept up with the Mandalorian and the pair dodged the Stormtroopers towards where the painter was taking them.

This day keeps on getting better.
