Naruto stared at his Mp3 player, a gift for his twelfth birthday from his Master. He was currently listening to "The Diary of Jane." Anakin glanced at his Padawan. "Whiskers, I understand you miss her but really, do you have to get all mopey? We'll be back in three days, no more. Besides, don't you want a lightsaber? That's a cruicial part of being a Jedi." Naruto glanced up at him, before turning to look at the blackness of space. Anakin sighed. This boy was never going to get over this until they were back.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Naruto and Anakin stood in a cavern full of crystals, of all colors. blues, greens, purples among many others. Naruto walked around looking for a special crystal. One no one else would have. That was when he spotted it, a red crystal, with what appeared to be a black liquid floating in it. He grabbed it and smiled. "Master! I found it! I found the one I want!" Anakin ran over to Naruto. He glanced at the crystal and smiled. A unique crystal for a unique boy, Anakin thought. "That's wonderful Whiskers. Give me your handle and the rock, and I'll show you how to put it in. Naruto did as he was told and Anakin popped the rock into place. He handed the small metal handle to Naruto, who turned the blade on. It was a red blade, bit you could see a faint line of black in the middle, and it gave off a dim light. Nauto smiled wide and placed the blade on his belt. "Well Master, are you ready to go?"
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Anakin walked off of the ship, met by C3-PO, Obi-Wan, Padme, a Togrutan, and a twelve year old brown haired girl. Naruto got off last, his Mp3 player, still playing 'The Diary of Jane.' He was hugged by a rush of light and dark brown. He looked down and there was a head of curly brown hair. The girls face was obscured by his robes, but he knew who it was. "Jane, it's okay. I'm back, and I won't go any where." A pair of brown eyes looked up up towards his face."Really, you promise?" Naruto nodded. Jane let him go and stepped back. Naruto pulled down his hood, before everyone heard a low rumbling noise that shook every thing. "Oh dear, what was that? Is the Sith attacking again?" C3-PO asked. Everyone laughed as they heard that, the droid mistaking Naruto's stomach for an enemy attack.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Naruto lay on his bed, Jane laying on his chest. He lay there thinking about how he met her.
+--FlashBack--+
Naruto was wandering the halls, when he sensed a persence behind him. He turned and spotted a streak of brown behind a corner. He said "Okay, come out." A brown haired girl, around his age of nine, stepped out. He looked at her and asked her who she was. When he got no response, he asked, "What are you doing here, you should be in the area with the younglings who haven't been taken apprentice." Again he got no response, only silence. He sighed and walked off.
A few minutes later, the girl had still not moved from the spot. "Jane, what are you doing here in the hall? I asked you to meet me in the training area," asked a voice. "Yes, Master Ahsoka."
+--FlashbackEnd--+
Naruto sighed, as he hear a knock on the door and Jane shot up. Naruto grumbled and walked to the door. He figured it would be Master Ahsoka here to collect Jane, but it was Anakin. "Naruto, the Sith have been spotted headed toward the Planet of the Elemental Countries. We must hurry. Ahsoka and Obi-Wan are already in the ship. Let's go!" Anakin ran off towards the docking area. Naruto and Jane looked at each other before grabbing their robes, lightsabers and running after Anakin.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Naruto glared at the back of his Master's head. "Master, you know I'm not supposed to be here." Anakin chuckled. "I did many things I wasn't supposed to. Like training you, for one. But I did what I had to do. That is why we are here. To protect these people from the Sith. And we must do that during these, 'Chunin exams', so there." Naruto huffed, and climbed out of the ship. He helped Jane out and held her hand. Anakin and Ahsoka led the group, Naruto and Jane following behind them. When asked by the guards why they were there, Anakin told them for the exams. They were let through. Naruto pulled Jane closer to him as they entered the village. The villagers ignored them for the most part. They soon reached the Hokage Tower. Anakin used the Force on the secratary to let them through.
"Ah, Mr. Skywalker, Ms. Tano, how are you? I was wondering when you would show up. And who are the young ones?" the Hokage, Sarutobi, asked. "These two are our apprentices. The girl is Jane Tano, adopted daughter of Ahsoka, and my own apprentice, Naruto Uzumaki," Anakin told him. The Hokage was wide eyed at the last name. "N-Naruto? Can it really be you?" Naruto pulled down his hood and sighed. "Yes Lord Hokage, it's me." Sarutobi was suprised at how polite the boy was. " I see you've grown up, Naruto. Well, I welcome you all to Konoha." Sarutobi looked back down to his work, as the Jedi left.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Naruto was walking through the forest with Jane when they heard conflict. They rushed to where they heard the fighting and kept hidden by the trees. They saw a raven haired boy fighting a silver haired man who appeared to have only one eye. They were using some form of lightining attack. Lightning. Naruto remembered that lightning was only useable by the darker side of the Force. Naruto was going to stop them, until he heard the name of the attack. Chidori. He knew very little of the language on his home planet, but knew that it meant a thousand chirping birds. He would let it pass. The one eyed shinobi grabbed the smaller boys hand, and flund him into a tree. "Who is there?" Kakashi called. Naruto stepped out and Jane stayed behind him. Kakashi's visible eye widened. "Sensei?" Naruto shook his head. "I'm not who you think I am. I am only here for the Exams." Kakashi realized who it was. "Naruto? How, you went missing years ago." Naruto shook his head. "No. I left of my own accord." Kakashi walked up to Naruto and embraced him. Naruto showed no emotion. Naruto sighed and stepped back after Kakashi released him. Naruto walked off, Jane right next to him. When the two shinobi were out of earshot, Jane asked Naruto, "Do you know him?" Naruto nodded and turned to her. Jane grabbed him tightly around the chest. "Naruto, Anakin brought you here to see how you would react. You're reacting how he thinks you would. Like a 'normal' Jedi. You're not a normal Jedi. Show emotion, act how you want." Naruto wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. " I know Jane, I know." He plucked her of the ground, bridal style, and walked off.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
"Naruto, Jane; Sarutobi has told Ahsoka and I that the teams from the Leaf are going to have karaoke at a bar, and we are invited. We're going. Thats final." Anakin and Ahsoka walked out the door. Naruto grudgingly followed, Jane pulling him along, while smiling. When the Jedi reached the bar, Kakashi had just finished his song, and Sasuke was starting his. He looked as though he was being forced to do it. He sang 'Dare You to Move'. Anakin smiled as he was greeted by the Hokage from the stage. "Ah, Mr. Skywalker, Ms. Tano, glad you could join us," Sarutobi said into the mic. "Yes, well, we would have been here sooner, had my Padawan not thrown a fit. Blame Naruto." Said Padawan had his arms wrapped around Jane's waist. "That is fine, but as you are our guests, would you please, sing a song?" Anakin chuckled and nodded, before walking up to the stage, and typing something into a small, primitive computer. He started singing 'Headstrong'. When he finished all the women in the bar, ranging from Tenten and Sakura and the others of the Konoha eleven, to Kurenai, sensei of team eight, were swooning over Anakin. He pointed at Naruto and waved him up to the stage. Naruto grimaced, and released Jane. He shuffled up to the stage and stepped up. "Now, sing everyone a song Whiskers." Anakin stepped off the stage after that, and let Naruto pick his song. Eveyone soon heard some low guitar playing.
"If
I had to, I would put myself right beside you
So let me ask, would
you like that?
Would you like that?"
"And
I don't mind
If you say this love is the last time
So now I'll
ask, do you like that?
Do you like that? No!"
(Chorus)
"Something's
getting in the way, something's just about to break! I will try to
find my way, into the diary of Jane, so tell me how it should be!"
"Try to find what makes you tick as I lie down, sore and sick, do you like that? Do you like that?"
Naruto was staring at Jane as he sang this, thus the attention of the entire crowd of shinobi turned toward her, and she immediatly flushed red and tried to shrink herself. Kiba was staring at her with lust, but others like Kakashi and Sarutobi stared at her to see who it was Naruto was infatuated with.
"There's a fine line between love and hate, and I don't minde, let me say that I like that. I like that."
"Something's getting in the way, something's just about to break! I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane, as I burn another page, as I look the other way, I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane so tell me how it should be!...."
Naruto finished the song and the music faded. He looked away from his girlfriend to his master, who smiled and nodded. He realized that the girls were staring at Jane, with what seemed to be envy. He briskly walked off the stage, and grabbed hisgirlfriends hand and pulled her away, her more than willing to get away from the crowd of jelous girls. Naruto stopped in a round clearing in the forest, and shouted out infrustration. He aimed his hand towards a treem and thrust his hand foward, the tree knocking down others like they were nothing. He pulled out his lightsaber and sliced at the trees, cutting them down to no more than a shinobi training post. The blade cut off, and he fell to his knees. Jane ran up to him, and dropped to her knees and hugged him tightly. "Shh, shh. Naruto, what are you angry about?" She asked him. "What I could have hade if Master hadn't found me. But then," Naruto paused and kissed her, his hands cupping her cheeks, he put his forehead to hers," I remember what I do have because he found me. With out him, I wouldn't have you. I wouldn't have the life I have now." He closed his eyes and turned his head away from her. "I wish I knew what would have been, but want to keep what is. I- I love you Jane Tano. I love what we have. I love being a Jedi. I hate this Force forsaken planet, but I want to know what will happen to it with out me. I can only have one though, and I would choose what I have now; I would choose you over anything." He stood, and helped Jane to her feet, and put her on his back, and walked away.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
He opened the door to their room with much difficulty, as he had to hold Jane, who had fallen asleep, and unlock the door. He laid her down on the bed they shared, and turned to the open door. Just over the thresh hold was Anakin and Ahsoka. "Whiskers, we must talk. Ahsoka, we'll be back." Anakin and Naruto were roaming the streets talking. "Naruto, you know you're not supposed to feel feelings, it is not the Jedi way." Naruto nodded, but said nothing. "You and I are much the same, you know. Did you know that I am married to Padme?" Naruto was shocked, his Master was good at hiding his feelings if he is married to her. "And I worry about her every day. I know you have nearly no need to worry about Jane, and yet you still do, don't you?" Naruto nodded. "Naruto, if I know anything, it's that you and I are the same. I want you to keep on the path you're on, Naruto. Now, come on, let's get to the room," Anakin said before walking up a flight of stairs to their room, Naruto following him.

Author Notes.
Okay, Now I will answer some questions that some readers might have. Yes, Anakin will join the Sith. Yes, it will affect Naruto. Naruto will be the one to help Luke and Leia. The original trilogy will be brought in later. I don't know how much later, but the Clone wars are over, and we are in the time just before Revenge of the sith comes into effect. That will be in a couple of chapters. The Exams start next chapter, which I have already started writing. The Exams will span three chapters. If you have any suggestions or questions, then simply review and I will answer them at the end of the chapter.
