Chapter 1
"Failure."
"Reject."
"The Hokage is probably ashamed of having a son like you."
Naruto sighed as he listened to the whispers of the villagers. It was the same every day, ever since it was discovered he couldn't access his chakra coils, preventing him from ever becoming a ninja. No one, not even Tsunade, could explain why. The coils were perfectly developed and Naruto's chakra was flowing through them at a normal rate. Yet, Naruto couldn't access an ounce of his chakra. This resulted in the villagers looking at him as a mockery of his father, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, now known as Minato Uzumaki, due to the fact he married into the Uzumaki family.
What made it worse was that his own father seemed disappointed in the fact that Naruto could never be a ninja. So, he focused his time on Mito, Naruto's twin sister, who can access her chakra. Not only that, but Mito was a prodigy. She soaked up every technique like a sponge. The villagers all loved her. They would praise her for being the prodigy of the Hokage. She became arrogant as a result, believing that she was above everyone else.
"Hey, Naruto! Get over here!"
Oh yeah, she also believed that Naruto existed solely to be her servant.
Naruto sighed as he walked over to Mito. "What is it?"
The blonde girl smacked him. "Don't speak to me like that, you reject! Carry my bag!"
Taking Mito's bag, Naruto fell into step behind her. They soon arrived home, where Mito took her bag back and went into her innocent angel act. "We're home, Mom!"
Kushina came out of the kitchen. "Welcome home. Supper will be ready soon."
Mito ran off to her room, while Naruto followed Kushina back into the kitchen. "Anything I can do to help, Mom?"
Kushina smiled at him. "Yes, Naruto. Could you cut the carrots?"
Unlike Minato and Mito, Kushina treated Naruto like he was part of the family. The two had a close bond and Kushina was probably the only reason Naruto didn't sink fully into depression. Naruto had no friends. Mito stole away all his friends by feeding them lies, lies that made him seem like a bad person. It was the same with the villagers. She would blame him for every prank played, even though it was Mito herself who did the pranks.
Even Minato believed the lies that Mito would spin. The only person who questioned Mito's sincerity was Kushina, as Mito could never provide conclusive proof that Naruto did anything. It was always down to Mito's word versus Naruto's. So, Kushina never punished Naruto nor Mito, since no one could actually be blamed. Minato did try to punish Naruto a few times, but Kushina stopped him, pointing out the same fact that there was no conclusive evidence against Naruto.
Minato would give her a look. "Do you not trust your own daughter?"
Kushina would shoot back with, "Do you not trust your own son?"
Naruto got out the items he needed to cut the carrots. This was one of the times he was fully at peace. Helping his mother make supper. "So, what are we making?"
"Homemade chicken soup."
Naruto smiled. He loved his mom's cooking, no matter what she made.
*Scene Change*
Revan looks at the group of ninja in front of him. "Is something wrong, Kakashi Hatake?"
Kakashi looks at Revan in surprise. You know who I am?"
"Of course. You do have a reputation." In reality, Revan knew who Kakashi was due to the fact he was Minato's student and was at the Uzumaki residence many times.
"Anyway, is that burning structure behind you, yours?"
Revan knows he can't allow anyone on this world to get their hands on the technology of his ship. Reaching out with the Force, he overloads all the systems on the ship. Looking at the group again, he quickly yells out, "Get away from it! Quickly!"
Everyone moves away from the ship, just in time as the ship explodes. Revan turns to Kakashi again. "To answer your question, not anymore."
Kakashi sighs. "Well, considering that you turn up randomly in Hi no Kuni, you'll have to come with us to Konoha. You'll have to go through some questioning. If you're found not to be an enemy agent or someone with any agenda against Konoha, you'll be allowed to walk freely in the village. If you are found to be an enemy, you'll be executed."
Revan sighs. "Very well. Take me to your village. I mean you no harm."
As the ninja lead him back, he looks at each of them. They're surrounding him in three groups. One group consists of only three people. One has his hair styled like a pineapple. The second is a chubby man, with swirls on his cheeks. The third is a blonde woman, dressed in a violet outfit.
The second group has four people, plus the dog. The first is an older woman with black hair and red eyes. The second is a woman with strange eyes, that Revan recognizes as being the eyes of a Hyuga. The third is a hooded man wearing sunglasses. The fourth is a man with red triangles on his face. The dog is walking next to him.
The third group is Kakashi's group. The first is a pink-haired woman, who keeps looking at him with curiosity. The second is a pale man who has no visible emotions on his face. The third makes him do a double take. It's a blonde woman with blue eyes. A very familiar blonde.
"Mito," Revan thinks to himself. But this Mito was different from the one he remembered. Instead of the proud and arrogant Mito he had known as a child, this Mito was more somber. He could also see guilt hidden in her eyes. Guilt for what?
*Scene Change*
The group arrives at Konoha. The villagers all look in curiosity at the masked man surrounded by ninja, being led to the Interrogation building.
"Who is that?"
"Why is he wearing a mask?"
"Is he a new ANBU?"
The group reaches the building, where some ANBU walk up to them.
Kakashi looks at Revan. "We have to go report to the Hokage. These men will escort you to where you'll be questioned."
Revan nods in understanding and follows the men into the building. As soon as they are inside, one of them holds out a tub. "Place all your weapons in here. If you check out, they'll be returned to you."
Revan nods, placing his lightsaber into the tub. "Good thing I locked the buttons on the saber. And the Jedi all told me putting a security system in the saber was a stupid idea."
The ANBU looks at him again. "You'll also need to place your mask in the tub."
"I can't do that. It's a tradition of my village. We only remove our masks in the presence of family members."
The ANBU nods in understanding. Revan is led to another room, with two chairs and a table. Revan sits down in one of the chairs.
The ANBU looks at him. "It'll be a few minutes before the person questioning you will arrive, so make yourself comfortable." They all leave the room. A few minutes later, a man walks in, carrying a folder.
"I am Ibiki Morino. I will be questioning you."
Revan raises an eyebrow. "Forgive me, but you don't seem the type to be here doing something mundane as this."
Ibiki laughs. "True. I'm actually the head of the Interrogation department, and I handle the interrogations of prisoners, but the guy who normally does this is on leave, so I'm filling in. Now then, let's get started."
*Scene Change*
"And that's everything, Lord Hokage."
The Hokage nods. "Very well, you are all dismissed."
Kakashi and the others all leave the room, except for Mito. "Dad?"
He looks at her. "Is something wrong, Mito?"
"It's that Revan guy. There was something familiar about him."
He looks at her curiously. "What do you mean?"
"I don't know. But I feel like I've met him before. I don't know how."
He smiles. "It's probably nothing, Mito. Some people just give off these feelings of familiarity, even though they're complete strangers."
She smiles at him. "I guess you're right, Dad. Thanks. By the way, Ino is planning a sleepover with all the girls. Is it okay if I go?"
"Sure. Have fun."
"Thanks Dad!" She gives him a quick hug, before leaving the room. The Hokage chuckles to himself, before thinking about the mysterious Revan.
"I think I should go meet this Revan."
*Scene Change*
"Okay, you check out. Your weapons will be returned to you and you'll be allowed to walk in the village."
"Thank you. I promise I'll stay out of trouble."
Ibiki laughs. "If you don't, we'll meet again, though it'll be more uncomfortable for you."
Revan rolls his eyes as his lightsaber is returned to him. He is escorted outside of the building, where he stretches his arms. "Now then, what am I going to do? I have no money and no place to stay."
"I might be able to help you with that."
Revan turns to see a face that brings back sad memories. "Minato Uzumaki, the Hokage."
Minato looks at Revan. He realizes that Mito is right. There is something familiar about him, but he can't understand what. "You know who I am?"
Revan laughs. "It would be humiliating if I didn't know the name of the Hokage. What can I do for you?"
"Are you a ninja?"
"Sorry, I'm not. But I am a capable fighter that could give your ninja a run for their money."
Minato laughs. "We'll have to test that. If you pass the test, you will be able to work for me as a mercenary."
"What's the catch?"
"No catch."
"What about a place to stay?"
"Until you afford enough money to live in your own place, I'll be willing to let you stay at the Uzumaki residence. It's large and we have many guest bedrooms."
Revan raises an eyebrow. "Why would you even offer any of this to me? I'm just a random stranger."
"I don't know. But there's something about you. Somehow, I know you won't harm any of us."
Revan laughs. "Very well. When will this test happen?"
"It'll happen in two to three days. We need time to set it up. Until then, you'll be staying at my residence. Even though I know you won't bring harm to my family, I'll still warn you. If any harm comes to them, you'll see why I'm known as the Yellow Flash."
"Noted."
Minato smiles. "Good. Follow me." He leads Revan to a large house. Revan stops to look at it, the memories coming back to the surface. Minato smiles at him. "Beautiful, isn't it?"
Revan nods. "Yes, it is."
"Come on, you have to meet the wife." Minato leads Revan into the house. "I'm home, dear!"
A voice calls out from the kitchen. "You're home early!"
Revan freezes again, trying to fight back the tears threatening to pour out of his eyes. "Mom."
Kushina Uzumaki comes out of the kitchen. She stops when she sees Revan. "Who is this?"
"He goes by the name Revan and he'll be staying with us for a while."
Revan nods to Kushina. "A pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Uzumaki."
Kushina seems to freeze. Like Mito and Minato before her, she feels like she knows the person from somewhere before. Unlike them, though, the feeling is much stronger. "Have we met somewhere before?"
Revan laughs. "No. I'm certain we've never met before."
Kushina shakes her head. "Well, welcome to our home. The bedrooms are down the hall. Don't go into the three rooms at the end of the hall. One is the master bedroom. The second is my daughter's bedroom. The third is another bedroom, but we don't allow any guests to use it."
Revan realizes which bedroom they're talking about. "Why don't you allow anyone to use it?"
Minato turns his head away, a guilty look in his eyes. Kushina looks down, sad. "It belonged to my son, before he ran away."
Revan nods his head. "I understand. I'll just go pick out my bedroom now. Sorry."
As Revan walks away, Minato looks at Kushina. "I should head back to work. Will you be okay, Kushina?"
Kushina nods. "I'll be fine. I'll get to know our new guest."
Minato nods before leaving.
*Scene Change*
Revan enters the bedroom he chose. The bedroom just happens to be next to his old one. He uses the Force to lock the door and lower the blinds. He removes his mask and sinks to the floor letting out the tears he had been holding back.
"So, you were someone else before being Revan."
Revan looks up to see the ghost of an old friend. "Meetra Surik. You're still with me?"
She laughs. "Well, for some reason, my spirit won't become one with the Force. I'm stuck here with you."
Revan chuckles. "And I thought you were sticking around with me because you didn't want the Sith Emperor to break me."
Meetra rolls her eyes. "Whatever, I'll let you get settled in. But, you're going to have to tell me the full story."
"Right."
Meetra vanishes. Revan moves over to the bed and lays down, deciding to take a nap.
Vanex: That wraps up this chapter. For those of you who don't know, Meetra Surik is the canon name for the Exile. Of course, now I'll be asked about why she's dead. You want the details? Go read Star Wars The Old Republic: Revan. It will have all the answers of what happened to Revan and Meetra after they both went into the Unknown Regions. See you all next time!
