The Place He Was Born

I don't own Naruto or Star Wars.

Naruto was currently washing his furs and clothes with Elie and R2 when he pushed Elie behind him and pointed a blaster at the other side of the river. Kakashi appeared on the opposite side and held his hands up.

"Relax." he said, "I'm not here to harm you or your… cat friend."

"I thought I told you to leave." said Naruto angrily.

"Sorry but I didn't speak whatever language you said it in." explained Kakashi.

He slowly went for something in his pocket and Naruto hardened his stance. Kakashi pulled out a photo and tossed it to Naruto. He caught it and glared at Kakashi before looking at it. He instantly felt a warm feeling as he looked at the picture of the man with spiky blonde hair and the woman with long red hair.

"Where did you get this?" he asked Kakashi.

"Do those two look familiar?" responded Kakashi with a question as well.

"I… I feel like I know them." said Naruto as he lowered his blaster.

"Those two are your parents." said Kakashi.

Elie gasped while R2 beeped worriedly and Naruto felt water come down his cheeks. He wiped his eye and looked at the tear drop that was on his finger.

"If you want, I can show you where you were supposed to live, Naruto." said Kakashi.

Naruto stared at the photo then rubbed his eyes.

"Artoo, get back to the ship." ordered Naruto, "Tell her Elie and I are going on a hunting trip for a few days."

R2 beeped then went off. Naruto put his blaster away and glared at Kakashi.

"You try anything and I swear to Mandalore that I will kill you." warned Naruto.

He handed Elie a cloak and she put it on while Naruto put his clothes on and they followed Kakashi. As they walked, Naruto lifted his head a little and frowned.

"What is it, Young Master?" questioned Elie.

"I sense a strange darkness." he whispered to her, "It's not as potent as the Sith but I can still feel the Dark Side."

"What was that?" asked Kakashi.

Naruto and Elie remained silent as Kakshi let them through the large gates of Konoha. Naruto stopped and looked to the right a little. Elie looked at him before he vanished.

Sakura stared in helplessness as the Sand Genin held Konohamaru by the collar of his shirt when she suddenly saw the boy from the river yesterday pointing a device against the back of the Sand Genin's head.

"Drop him or I'll blow your brains out." said the boy coldly.

The Sand Genin gritted his teeth as the boy dug the barrel of his weapon into the back of his head.

"Just drop him, Kankurō." said the female Sand Genin with a giant fan.

Kankurō dropped Konohamaru and the boy ran behind Sakura. The boy pulled out another of his weird weapons and pointed it up at the tree next to them.

"Tell your friend to come down." he ordered.

They all looked up in the tree and froze at the sight of a boy with red hair and dark circles around his eyes with a large gourd on his back.

"H-Hey, Gaara." said Kankurō nervously.

"Kankurō, you're an embarrassment to our village." said Gaara with absolutely no emotion whatsoever.

Gaara appeared in front of Kankurō in a swirl of sand and the boy removed his weapons then put them in holsters. The boy pushed Kankurō past Gaara and glared at the red head.

"Keep him in line." ordered the boy.

He then pulled Sakura and Konohamaru away and glared back at Gaara. Once they were out of sight, the boy stepped away and lowered his head.

"Ba'gedet'ye."(1) said the boy as he walked away. He went into the shadows of an ally and vanished.

Naruto appeared next to Elie and she jumped in surprise.

"Young Master, where have you been?" asked the young Cathar worriedly.

"Just… never mind." said Naruto as he continued to walk around.

Naruto walked around the village with several people giving him strange looks while Elie stood right behind him. As he walked around, Naruto felt his chest hurt and tears rolling down his cheeks. He stopped at an apartment building and walked up to the second floor. He went to a door at the end of the balcony and flicked his wrist. He then opened the door and walked inside with Elie. Naruto shut the door behind her and took a deep breath.

"You can take that thing off." he said.

"What is this place, Young Master?" asked Elie as she removed the cloak.

"This is… the place where my parents lived." said Naruto as he went over to a bookcase.

He pulled out a photo album and opened it up. A tear ran at the sight of more people. Elie ran up to him and threw the cloak over his shoulders. After a moment, he pulled out his holocom and turned it on. The female Mandalorian appeared on the screen and looked up at him.

"Something wrong?" she asked.

"No…" said Naruto deprssingly, "Elie and I are going to be living in that nearby village for the foreseeable future."

The woman remained silent for a moment then looked up at Naruto.

"Ulyc."(2) said the woman, "We don't know if we can really trust these people."

"Gar serim.(3)" said Naruto, "Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum.(4)"

"Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum." said the woman before the call was ended.

Naruto removed the wolf hide and vest from his body along with the feather cape and went into a bedroom to find Elie asleep. He smiled as he pulled out a flute and played a calm and sad tune on it. As he played, an image of another woman came into his mind. A tall human female with fair skin, dark gray hair, and blue eyes made up the appearance of the woman. Naruto stopped playing at that moment and lowered the flute.

"It has been six long years since I've seen you." he thought with a sigh, "Not a day goes by that I don't think of you."

He went to the window and looked out at Konoha.

"While we're not anywhere near each other…" Naruto thought as he clenched the blue and green crystals of his necklace, "…but I do know that we will meet again. We're all connected through the Force."

"Young Master?" asked the tied Elie as she walked out, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah." said Naruto as he sat the flute down and turned to her with a smile, "I'm just gonna look through the photo albums for a few minutes. Go back to sleep."

Elie bowed then went back into the bedroom. Naruto went back over to the photo albums and started looking over them again.
