The Memories of a Nobody

I don't own Naruto or Star Wars.

Kakashi appeared in front of an apartment door and was about to knock when the door opened and a tied Naruto glared at him.

"What?" asked the grumpy Mandalorian.

"I just wanted to give you this." said the masked Jōnin as he handed Naruto a piece of paper, "Just sign this and you will be entered in what we call the Chūnin Exams."

Naruto looked at the paper and read what he considered chicken scratch with a lot of effort.

"Go to the building with the swing on the tree in five days." said Kakashi, "Also, you'll need to go to the third floor."

He then left and Naruto slammed the door. The young boy went over to the couch and put his feet on the coffee table. He stared at the piece of paper as Elie came up to him with a tray. He took the sandwich off the plate and tore a bite out of it. He closed his eyes and took a nap.

(Flashback – 8 Years Ago)

The young and small four year old Naruto yawned in his bed in the dormitories of the Jedi Temple and rubbed his eyes. He switched out of his current robes and put on some new ones. He quickly ate some food he had stashed in his room and ran to his lightsaber lesson. He ran into the room he was supposed to meet his instructor in and found that it was empty.

"You're late." said a voice from the doorway.

Naruto turned around and his face lit up.

"Satele!" he exclaimed as he ran up to the female Jedi Knight.

He gave her a deep hug and she returned it in full.

"Your instructor sent me to tell you that he won't be able to make it." Satele explained.

"Oh man!" whined Naruto, "I was really looking forward to this!"

Satele smiled and handed Naruto a lightsaber shoto and smiled.

"Why don't you show me how far you've come." said Satele with a smile.

Naruto took the lightsaber shoto with a big grin and began showing Satele his skill by training with a droid.

(End Flashback)

Naruto opened his eyes and found that it was about noon. He looked over at Elie, who was making lunch, and sighed.

"Elie, could you come here for a moment?" he asked.

"Yes, Young Master?" asked the Cathar slave.

"I need you to take some measurements and then go order some clothes." he said.

Elie took the measurements and waited as Naruto wrote down what he wanted exactly. He gave the list to Elie and she bowed before going out. He sighed as he put on the rest of his clothes and went out. He headed out of the village and went back to the cave in the forest to see his very important friend.

(Flashback – 7 and a Half Years Ago)

"Satele! Satele!" shouted Naruto as he ran up to the Jedi Knight in question.

Satele turned around as Naruto stopped in front of her and showed a toothy grin.

"I passed my exam!" he told her happily.

"Congratulations." she said proudly.

"Can we go get me my own droid now?" asked Naruto, "You said you'd get me my own droid if I passed."

"I did say that." said Satele, "Come on."

Naruto cheered as Satele led Naruto out of the temple and out to a droid shop.

(Two Hours Later)

"Did you like any of those droids, Naruto?" asked Satele as she helped him out of a speeder at the Jedi Temple.

"They were cool but none of them felt right." he said, "Grand Master Zym says when facing a major decision, one must consult the Force before…"

Naruto trailed off as his eyes were set on a blue Astromech Droid and Satele followed his gaze.

"That's Artoo-Deetoo." said Satele, "He's an Astromech Droid that's been in service of the Order for as long as I can remember."

She then noticed Naruto wasn't paying attention to her and she went up to the droid. She talked to the droid for a minute before she led the droid over to Naruto.

"Artoo here says that he would be happy to be your personal droid." said Satele.

Naruto tried to make words come out but ended up speaking gibberish. R2 beeped and Satele chuckled.

"He says you have a harder time getting words out than a Cathar with a hairball." translated Satele.

Naruto turned pink as he looked away and went inside the temple with R2 and Satele.

(End Flashback and Two Days Later)

Naruto walked into the ship he used to live in and went to a workbench. He took his necklace off and looked at the crystals.

(Flashback – 7 Years Ago)

Naruto was currently sleeping on his day off because of his birthday when R2 rolled up to his bed. R2 extended one of his robotic arms out to Naruto and shocked him. Naruto yelped in pain and fell off the bed.

"Geez, Artoo." said Naruto as he peered over his bed at the droid, "I know I told you to wake me up at this time but today is my birthday. Grand Master Zym gave me the day off so please let me sleep in."

Artoo beeped and Naruto sighed. He switched his robes and rubbed his eyes as he walked out of the room. As he passed other younglings and masters, they wished him a happy birthday and Naruto barely acknowledged any of them. He flopped down at a breakfast table and put his head on the table.

"I really wish Satele was here." said Naruto depressingly, "But she's off fighting the Empire somewhere."

R2 beeped sadly next to him and Naruto gave him a smile.

"It's okay, Artoo." said the young Padawan in training, "She explained this to me a week ago. I'll be fine."

He got some food and went to go consult a datacron in order to find something to do.

(That Night)

Naruto sighed as he lowered his hand and sat a stone he used to practice the Force next to the window. He was about to go to sleep when the door to his room opened. R2 beeped happily and Naruto turned toward the door.

"You didn't really think I'd miss your birthday, did you?" said Satele with a smile.

"Satele!" exclaimed Naruto as he ran over to her.

They gave each other a hug and Naruto smiled at her.

"I thought you'd be on Alderaan for another week!" said the young boy.

"I'm just here to pick up some supplies with Captain Malcom." said Satele, "I leave again in a few hours. I just stopped by to give you this."

She handed Naruto a small box and he opened it quickly. He pulled out the cord that had two crystals, one blue and one green, and looked at it.

"Those are crystals I got from my first Master." she explained, "I want you to have them."

Naruto began crying and wrapped his arms around Satele.

"Thanks, mother." said Naruto, not even paying attention to what he was saying.

Satele froze at the word "mother" but just smiled and hugged Naruto lovingly. He fell asleep in her arms and Satele stayed like that with him for a few minutes.

(End Flashback)

Naruto removed the crystals from the necklace and sat them both on the workbench. He looked at them and smiled sadly.

"These will be the blades that will allow us to meet again." he whispered under his breath.

The crystals both floated up into the air along with the other materials on the workbench and Naruto closed his eyes. Naruto saw the pieces in his mind and put them together without his hands. He took several deep breaths as smiling faces appeared in his head. Once the pieces were together, he opened his eyes and examined the two lightsabers he'd constructed. One was a standard one while the other was double-bladed. He attached both weapons to his belt and quietly left the ship.

(Two Days Later)

Naruto was currently taking a shower while Elie was sleeping and breathing through sharp pain coursing through the scar on his back. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth at the thought of the man who gave him the scar.

(Flashback - Six Years Ago)

A group of Sith ran through the Jedi Temple, killing Jedi and children along the way while Naruto hid in a small closet. He was crying and held his head as he felt all the simultaneous deaths through the Force. However, he somehow felt every single injury that every Jedi and civilian were suffering.

"Satele, where are you?" reached out Naruto through the Force, "I'm scared! Please, someone, help!"

A large group of Sith passed by the closet door Naruto was hiding behind when it exploded, killing several of them. From the smoke came a man that was about 6' 2" with spiky blonde hair and wearing Jedi Robes, his eyes were pure red and the pupils were slitted. The Sith raised their lightsabers and the man held out his hand. A lightsaber from one of the dead Sith flew into his hand and activated the moment it touched his skin.

The Sith rushed forward and the man appeared on the other side of them. All the Sith fell dead to the ground and the man made a run for the hanger. He came across R2 in the hanger and the droid beeped.

"It's me, Naruto." said the now identified Naruto.

Before R2 could respond, Naruto turned around and glared at the Sith Lord before him. The Sith was wearing a metal suit under his black cloak. The Sith had pale skin and bright yellow eyes along with a respirator over his mouth. Naruto tossed the single red lightsaber off to the side and used the Force to pull a double-bladed saber over to him. He activated it and glared at the Sith. Several more Sith appeared between the two and Naruto smirked.

"Artoo, get on that ship behind you." ordered Naruto.

R2 went up to the Corellian XS Stock Light Fighter and got on as Naruto rushed forward. However, just as he took his first step, he suddenly found himself on the ground with a sharp pain in his back. Naruto grunted and tried to move but found the pain in his back was too great. He looked up and saw that the entire hanger was starting to come down. He tried to breathe through the pain when he noticed that he was back to his six year old body.

"What… What just happened?" thought the barely conscious Naruto.

"That was the power of the Dark Side." said the voice, "That is the power you now possess."

"No." thought Naruto as he struggled to reach the lone ship still intact as the hanger fell down around him, "I… will never use the Dark Side. I'm a Jedi."

A pair of metal boots stepped in front of Naruto and he looked up. He couldn't make out what type of armor the person was wearing but knew from what he could tell that it wasn't a Sith or Jedi. The person looked down at him and knelt down.

"I'm not supposed to take survivors." said the female voice from inside the helmet of the person, "But I'll make an exception."

Naruto closed his eyes and began to pass out as he was picked up.

"Ni kar'tayl gai sa'ad." said the woman before Naruto lose consciousness. (1)

(End Flashback)

Naruto stepped out of the shower with a towel around his waist and looked at Elie. He sighed and looked over at a stone that was on the other side of the room. He reached out to the stone and closed his eyes. The stone shook a little before resting in place. Naruto sighed and looked at his hand.

"I guess I'm just so out of practice." said Naruto with a sigh.

He left a note on the coffee table next to Elie and got dressed in the clothes he had her have tailored. He put on the loose fitting pants first followed by light brown robes. As he put them on, he felt something in his heart stir and felt happy. He then put on a utility belt and attached the two lightsabers he made to either side. He then pulled on a black cloak and flipped the hood up as he left.

After about an hour, Naruto got back to the starship and went inside. He went up to the Holoterminal and turned it on to record him.

"Satele, this is Naruto." said Naruto as he stared at the camera, "I don't know if you're watching this but I just want you to know that I'm okay. I'm being raised by a female Mandalorian and have passed the verd'goten, the Mandalorian trials."

He took a deep breath and lowered his head.

"It has been so long since I've seen you that I can barely remember your voice and I can't even remember your face." he said, "R2 and I were taken to the planet of my birth, which isn't on any charts. I have found out who my parents were and learning more about who they were."

He felt someone approaching and quickly finished up.

"But don't let the Republic know about this planet." pleaded Naruto, "I don't want it caught up in the war with the Sith."

He ended the message just as the Mandalorian came in with R2.

"I thought you weren't going to be back for at least a month." said the Mandalorian bitterly as she walked past him.

"Why did you save me from the Jedi Temple?" questioned Naruto.

The Mandalorian removed her helmet and revealed her face. She was a beautiful woman with red hair and hazel eyes along with fair skin. She sighed as she sat her helmet down and turned to him.

"You… remind me a lot of my younger brother." said the woman.

"You never said you had a brother." said Naruto as he walked into the conference room behind her with R2 behind him.

"That's because I don't like to talk about him." said the woman.

She pulled out an old helmet and stared at the face of it.

"He was killed by a Jedi Master named Aurei Eadon." said the woman bitterly, "My first instinct was to kill you but when I saw you on the ground, you just brought back all those memories of the day he died. I just couldn't let that happen again."

She turned to Naruto and gave a soft smile. She knelt down in front of him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Ni kar'tayl gai sa'ad." she said, "Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum, Naruto."

Naruto hugged the woman and got a little tired.

"Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum." he muttered before falling asleep.
