Hello my friends! How are you all doing? I got another chapter for you and I hope this one's good! Also, I have been asked a question as to what the pairing is, well, it's not going to be NaruSaku, sorry, but I just do not like that pairing. Second, and even though it pains me, it won't be NaruHina as well, even though that is my go to pairing. You will see why it won't be NaruHina. So, with that said, I hope you all enjoy this chapter! Bye!
Somewhere on Tatooine:
Tatooine, a desert planet and a hive of scum and villainy. Only slavers, traders, sellers, bounty hunters, moister farmers and Jabba the Hutt lived here mostly. Aside from them, only Stormtroopers of the Galactic Empire were stationed here and even then, it was a very small garrison. Most didn't even bother with the local populous.
"Dammit, so thirsty…" One Naruto sighed out. A few days ago, his Master had dropped him off at Tatooine with nothing, other than some clothes and some water. He didn't even give him any instructions! So here he was, wandering this god forsaken planet. He didn't even know why he had done it, but he did. He assumed that it must have been a test or something.
"N-Need to find a Moister farmer…" He muttered to himself as he walked on. He had been stealing from Moister farmers and those Jawas, who he thought were stupid. He kept on walking and walking, but them he spotted them.
"By the Force, not them!" He said to himself. They wore odd clothing, mostly brown and they wore strange masks that had spikes on the top. Tusken Raiders is what they were called, and they were savages! Turning around, he began to run as fast as he could. He had spied on those bastards and they were not to be trifled with. Looking back, he noticed that they weren't following him, good. Stopping, he sighed as he breathed in and out. Looking up, he squinted his eyes as the twin suns shined down at him, sweat poured off his forehead like a faucet that would just not stop flowing. Then he spotted a Moisture farm!
"Finally!" He shouted as he started to run towards the farm. He was using the Force, something his Master had explained to him during the few months he had spent on one of Vader's warships. Vader had taught him the very basics of the Force for now and this was all Naruto had to defend himself on his blasted rock.
"I hate sand…" Naruto growled as he rubbed his hair a bit, getting the sand out of his hair. During the few days, he had spent on his planet, he had been using the Force unknowingly to keep himself going. His will to survive was strong enough to draw on the Force to survive. His bodies internal organs were doing everything they could to ensure his survival. The organs worked on maximum efficiency, while reducing their needs. This was all thanks to the Force reinforcing his organs. Approaching the farm, he quickly hid behind a few creates as he sensed someone exiting from the small home.
"Uncle Owen, we should really get a few droids to help around the farm." A small boy, maybe a year or two younger then Naruto walked out of the house. Behind him was his Uncle. The man was a human, like the boy. The uncle sighed as he checked some equipment.
"We're moisture farmers, we can't afford droids." The uncle responded as the boy huffed and went off to do whatever he needed to do. Naruto meanwhile snuck inside the house and quickly located the kitchen and quickly started to gather as much food and water he could.
"I would say sorry, but nah." He muttered. Turing around to leave, he came face to face with the lady of the house.
"And who are you?" She questioned him with a stern face as Naruto gulped, but laughed nervously.
"Look lady, I don't want any trouble, so if you would let me leave…" Naruto stated, but clearly, she wasn't buying any of it. Then, she pulled out a blaster and started to fire it around him. Seeing this, Naruto began to run all around the kitchen and made his way out as blaster bolts flew over him
"Your crazy lady!" Naruto shouted as he ran to the stairs that led to the outside. During his escape, he ran into the uncle, who Naruto had tackled to the ground.
"Stop!" The old man yelled, but Naruto merely ran, unknowingly, he tapped into the Force to speed himself up. To them, he was simply a yellow blur and before they even knew it, he was long gone.
With Naruto, a few minutes later:
Naruto stopped running and took in large gulps of air as he fell onto the sand. Grabbing some of the food he had stolen, he quickly started to eat and drink. The taste of the food was beyond anything, though after having nothing to eat for almost 4 days, anything would taste heavily. Drinking some of the water he sighed.
"Well, I guess I better keep on moving." He said to himself as he stood up and began to walk aimlessly. He frowned and stopped.
"That won't get me anywhere." He said again. Sitting down, he closed his eyes and began to mediate. Paraphs the Force could help? He took in steady breaths as he focused onto his surroundings. He could feel everything, down to the last grain of sand. Then it hit him, a space port was nearby, a few miles off. He stood up, but kept his eyes closed, allowing the Force to guide him. After about an hour of running, he arrived at the space port. It was busy with activity. People were trading, buying, selling, or working. Still, he could feel the vileness of this place. As he walked around the space port, he found someone of interest.
"That girl…" He thought as he felt drawn to the girl. From what he knew of the Force, that girl was Force sensitive, but not as strong as him. She had gray-brown hair and blue eyes. Her skin was fair and she looked about a year younger then him. The only things she had to wear were rags. Her hair was dirty due to the sand, along with her skin.
"A slave…" He thought with a frown. From what his Master had taught him and from the readings he had been shown, Sith Empires were built upon the backs of slaves. The Sith could care less about slavery. Even though he was training to be a Sith, he despised slavery. Selling and buying people to him was an obsolete concept and only festered resentment that developed into open rebellion and uprisings. The number of slave uprisings and rebellions within Sith Empires was insane. How could the Sith expect people to obey them if they sold them into slavery? He approached the girl, wanting to get a closer look.
"She looks pretty cute." He thought with a light blush on his face, however, she showed little to no emotions. Her face had a dead look. He growled a bit. A youth whose life had been taken away.
"Hi!" He greeted with a smile, but the girl only looked at him with a blank stare. No response. Naruto sighed at that, it seemed like the slavers had done a number on her. Before Naruto could say anything, a bug like creature with a long lose flew in-front of him.
"Ha! Wow! Watch where your breathing!" The Toydarian yelled as Naruto narrowed his eyes. This Toydarian was most likely the owner of this girl. So, he was a human trafficker.
"Where I breathe is none of your concern, no step aside." Naruto demanded, no, more like orders the flying bug, who simple laughed. The kid had the balls to demand anything from him.
"What's a brat like you doing here?" The Toydarian questioned as Naruto scoffed.
"That is none of your business or concern, now step aside and let me talk to the girl." Naruto answered. He was getting annoyed fast by this bug. The Toydarian however spat in Naruto's face, to Naruto's shock and anger.
"Beat it kid! She's not for sale!" The Toydarian stated as he turned around, but froze as he felt an invisible force all around him.
"You…" He heard a cold voice behind him. The bug shivered as he slowly turned around to face the boy he had spat at. A gasp released from his throat as he stared into the boy's eyes. They were sickly yellow and filled with hate. He tried to speak, but no words would come from his mouth.
"You…ugly bug!" Naruto yelled as he brought up his hand and held it as if he was choking somebody, which he was. The Toydarian was now floating a few inches from the ground, and not due to his wings.
"L-Let me go!" The Toydarian demanded, but Naruto did not listen due to his anger clouding his judgment, he simply tightened his hold before he walked closer.
"Listen here bug, you are going to free this girl and any others you own." Naruto ordered as the Toydarian tried to breath, but it was of no effect. He felt his windpipe being crushed and his vision was starting to fade in and out.
"O-Ok!" The Toydarian managed to yell out. Seeing that his demands were met, Naruto let go of the human trafficker, who collapsed on the ground, taking in air greedily. Turing to the girl, who was slightly shocked at the actions before her, Naruto grabbed her by the hand and began to drag her away from the trader. After he was sure they were far enough, Naruto turned to the girl, with a smile.
"There, now that he's been dealt with, what's your name?" Naruto questioned with a smile, but the girl simply stared at him, confused by his actions. Why would he do this?
"Why? Why did you help me?" She questioned. For a very long time, she had been a slave. People have bought and sold her for petty things. For a very long time she had thought that her life was meaningless, that it was lower than dirt. No one cared about her. No one would miss her if she were to die. Naruto hearing her questions smiled like a goof ball.
"Why? Well, I saw someone in need of help and I came to help! I don't need a reason to help someone, do I?" He questioned as she looked at him, like he was a fool. He only helped because she needed help? Her eyes slowly started to widen as she felt moisture around her eyes. She brought a hand up to her cheek and felt her wet cheek.
"I-I am crying?" She questioned herself as tears started to fall from her eyes. No one had done anything like this for her, ever. Not even the imperial troopers. She was just another slave in the grand scheme of things. So, she bottled up her emotions. She had never cried since she had become a slave, choosing to simply accept her fate, her lot in life.
"Yeah, you are." Naruto stated like she didn't know that in the first place. She looked at him, and then the damn broke. She started to cry openly now as she hugged Naruto. Naruto however had no clue how to handle the situation. He had never thought that he would find himself on a desert planet with a girl crying on his shoulder.
"A-Ah, it's ok! Did I say something? Please don't cry!" Naruto tried to calm her down as he rubbed her back. He blushed slightly as he felt her breasts push up against him.
"Down boy!" Naruto thought as he fought down his urges. He simply allowed the girl to cry on his shoulder after he got no response.
"N-No one has e-ever helped me b-before!" She stated, all the while tears and snot traveled down her face. Naruto hearing this smiled sadly a bit. No one had ever tried to help him either. He tried to comfort her, saying everything would be fine.
"M-My family didn't e-even help me!" She cried as Naruto sighed, seems like she was sold into slavery by her family.
"Then they are not your family. Family doesn't sell family into slavery." Naruto stated as she wiped her tears away with her hands and leaned back to look at him. Naruto brought his hand up and cleared her face of tears.
"Family sticks together no matter the situation." Naruto stated as she simply looked at him with tear eyes.
"T-Then I have n-no family." She stated as Naruto frowned at that before he hugged her.
"Then I will be your family." He whispered as she hugged him back. The girl was clearly emotionally compromised and he could relate to her in some ways. While his family didn't sell him to slavers, they still isolated and neglected him. Many times, it felt like he didn't exist because they never noticed him. Now, here was someone who had it much worse and he wasn't going to just stand by and watch. He soon heard snoring and raised an eyebrow.
"I guess she fell asleep…" He thought as he simply hugged her, letting her sleep on his shoulder. He never had a shoulder to lean on to back home. No one to tell him that it would be fine. Well, he did have a friend, but she was too shy. Shaking his head, his thoughts changed to what was to come next.
"Oh crap, how am I going to explain this to Master?" Naruto thought with slight panic. He didn't know how his Master would feel, after all, his Master had left only one boy on this blasted planet, not two, and definitely not a girl. Sighing, he thought that he would burn that bridge when he gets to it.
So? How was it? I hope it was good! Ah, so many questions and so little answers! Who is this girl? Well, keep reading to find out more! Also, I hope this one is more…realistic? Also, once again I thank my beta, you know who you are! So, with this, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Bye!
