Hello everyone, once again. As usual I'll start with my experiment. The tally is 13 review/follows/favorites for the Narutoverse, and 16 reviews/follows/favorites for the crossovers. I got 3 reviews for CO and 6 for Narutoverse.
So, if you like reading reviews cuz they make ya feel giddy, go Narutoverse, they are more likely to review. But if you want people who'll read your story and will continue to read your story and if you feel happy knowing that people really like your story enough to favorite it so everyone can see it on their profile, go CO.
To guest, what do you mean? In what way is the way I'm doing my crossover interesting? I honestly don't know.
To naruhinalover20, Kurenai will not be a Jedi. I can't remember the name of the fic but it had Kurenai as a bad guy and I liked it. But I'm not sure quite what her role will be, but it definitely won't be as a Jedi.
For those of you wondering why I made Naruto, the main character of the show, obviously, as a clone, one of the least important characters to the star wars universe ever. In fact, clones are known for only two things; fighting in the clone wars and killing the Jedi. But you see, I like clones better than Jedi. Jedi have Force powers that keep them alive. What do the clones have? Their skills. Nothing else. Give a clone commando Force powers and a lightsaber and he could've won the entire war. Yet hundreds of Jedi died in the first day of the war. Huh.
To all of you wondering if the declaration of Order 66 will happen, well, yeah it will. I'm going to give you guys some say over that. Just review how you want it to turn out and I'll at the very least look it over.
And last but not least, to Pric3y, I'm glad someone got why I chose what they did. Sasuke's role will be filled out later but I had a specific reason for making Naruto a normal commando. Because, in all honesty, Naruto defeats people just by punching them in the face as much as he does the Rasengan.
This is the only time that I'll be updating this much. I just felt really bad about that cliffhanger at the end of chapter four. So I decided to update as soon as possible. Enjoy!
"Iota squad, your mission is to undercover on Coruscant." Silence filled the room as the Jedi waited for the commandoes to speak. They didn't. And so silence filled the room with the two sides staring at each other, with the commandoes looking increasingly bored and the Jedi waiting expectantly. Finally Tsunade had had enough, "Any questions commandoes?"
Shikamaru speaks up, "No ma'am. We were waiting for the rest of the mission details ma'am."
"Oh," Tsunade says, a little deflated. She shakes her head and goes back to her business voice, "Anyway, I talked to the Jedi Council after the battle of Geonosis and they've agreed with me that this war won't be over anytime soon. They've also agreed that the Separatists won't just be fighting where we can see them. So we've decided to use black ops teams of clone commandos to find the Separatists own black ops troops."
"The Jedi Council has decided that, for the time being, we are going to have you four stationed on Coruscant. There will be other commando squads stationed at other major points on Coruscant, but it's unlikely that you all will ever meet each other. Anyway, your mission is to infiltrate the major crime syndicates and other such places. Understand?"
"Yes ma'am," the clones said, before Neji asked, "What's our cover supposed to be general?"
Tsunade nodded approvingly, smiling at the commando, "You're going to be Mandalorian mercenaries. From what I've heard you know most of the Mandalorian customs pretty well. Also, they're not as rare on Coruscant as you might think."
The commandoes nodded before Sasuke spoke up, "How are we supposed to blend as mercs and bounty hunters if we all sound the same?"
"What?" Tsunade questioned, confusion clearly painted on her face.
"Well, we all sound and look the same," Shikamaru clarified this time, and all eyes turned to him, "Eventually, we're probably going to have to take our helmets off and we're obviously going to have to speak and someone's bound to spot the difference."
Tsunade smiled again, making it obvious she knew exactly what they meant. "We've prepared for that. You four are to have surgery. We'll change your faces and hair colors a bit so that you look different. We'll also be changing your eye colors and your voices just a bit. Not a lot so as not to cause pain, but enough so that they're different. Any objections?" the clones stayed silent.
"Good. Well then commandoes, follow Kakashi, Sakura and Hinata out to the medical room. That's where the procedures will take place. Sakura will brief you on our new identities. Dismissed!" and with that Tsunade went back to the stack of paper on her desk as the three Jedi led the squad through the hallways of the skyscraper.
Sakura started immediately, half-shouting behind her, "RC-1193, from this point on you will respond to Shikamaru Nara, understand?"
"Yes commander."
"RC-1098, from this point on you will be known as Sasuke Uchiha, understand?" and so it went on until the other two were known as Neji Hyuuga, cousin to Hinata, and RC-1010 was Naruto Uzumaki. The seven walked in silence after that until they reached the surgery room, where the medical staff was fully prepared to receive the commandoes.
Naruto split up from his brothers, following a doctor to one of the operating rooms, where medical droids and staff buzzed around in equal numbers. The doctor who was leading him, a middle aged man with specks of gray in his otherwise black hair, instructed him to take off his armor. Doing so Naruto laid down on the table and the doctor placed a mask over his mouth and nose. "All right Mr. Uzumaki, just breathe in deeply for a few seconds and let sleep over take you," the doctor ordered. Naruto was out cold in less than five seconds.
3 hours later
Naruot groaned as he sat up, looking around at his surroundings. He was in a white room with white walls, white sheets, white curtains, white everything. Too much like Kamino, he thought to himself as he swung his feet off the stood up and looked around for a mirror. He was a clone of the most dangerous man in the galaxy; of course he could remember something as important as a new face.
Conveniently, there was one placed on the white stand next to his bed. Picking up the mirror he inspected his new face. He now had blue eyes and long, spiky, unruly blonde hair. His naturally darker skin now just looked like he had a nice tan. The thing that surprised him was the three lines going across each cheek. He inspected these for a moment before the door opened and a doctor walked in with Kakashi in tow.
"Hello Mr. Uzumaki, how are you feeling today?" the doctor said cheerfully, as a med bot surveyed Naruto.
"I'm feeling O.K. sir," Naruto replied standing perfectly still while the med bot scanned him. "Nothing worth complaining about. I have a question though."
"Hm? Yes, what is it?" the doctor said distractedly, checking the med bot's findings.
"Why the lines?" Naruto asked, pointing to the lines on his cheeks.
The doctor looked up smiling, obviously proud of his work, "Well, we couldn't just change your eyes and hair; we had to change your faces as well. But since we wanted it done as quickly as possible, we couldn't change everything. So we changed subtle things to make sure you four looked different. You'll see what the others look like in a moment. We also artificially extended your hair, as you can probably tell." The doctor turned to Kakashi, "All right, sir, he's all yours." And with that the doctor walked out, leaving the Jedi and commando alone.
"Well Naruto, ready to meet your brothers?" Kakashi asked, smiling behind his mask.
Naruto just nodded in response. They walked out of the room into a nearly deserted hallway of a hospital. "We reserved this section specifically for you four," Kakashi explained as they walked to the lift. "We wouldn't want anyone knowing of our plans now would we?"
Naruto just stared at him. They rode the lift up in silence, only moving when it reached the top. Stepping out of the lift they were greeted by Hinata and three other men, roughly the same size as Naruto. One of the men had long black hair combed back so that it was spiky at the back, his black hair matching his near black eyes.
Another one had brown hair that was pushed back so that it looked like a gualupa fruit in the back. (A/N: Ok people, for those of you who can't guess what a gualupa fruit looks like, think of a pineapple. There you go. Now read.) He had a five o'clock shadow that covered the lower half of his face.
And the final man had long dark brown hair that reached down past his shoulders. He had white eyes that seemed to pierce your soul and his hair covered the sides of his face.
Naruto's face brightened when he saw them and he walked right up to the once with black hair and grasped his forearm above the wrist, with the man responding in kind. "Sasuke ner vod, you sure look different!" Naruto said, smiling at his brother. Sasuke smiled back, "Obviously not enough Naruto."
As Naruto greeted each of his brothers, not once confusing them for the other, the two Jedi watched in amazement. The fact that all the clones recognized each other immediately despite looking entirely different from each other was amazing, to say the least.
But the only thing that seemed to surprise the clones was Naruto's hair, although not by much. Hinata stared at Naruto, amazed at how different he looked from his brothers. His blonde hair was definitely an eye catcher. From what'd she'd heard from the clones prior to Naruto arrived it would seem the doctor had made the right choice. Before Geonosis, Naruto was apparently one of the more outspoken clones, always willing to give his opinion whether you wanted it or not.
He had always been cheerful, even if he was being yelled at. He was constantly getting into trouble by himself, until his brothers decided to help him out with his schemes. He was a constant source of trouble for the Kaminoans, but their training sergeant, a man named Kal Skirata, hated the Kaminoans and wouldn't let them anywhere near any of his boys. In fact, when the long necked aliens had tried to have Naruto 'decommissioned' Kal Skirata had barged into the room blaster drawn and ready to shoot the Aihwa bait who had taken Naruto.
Needless to say the Kaminoans tolerated Naruto from that point on.
Eventually the clones stopped talking to each other and noticed the staring Jedi. Naruto looked at Hinata, who still hadn't broken out of her thought process. While normally this wouldn't be a problem, she had been staring at Naruto when she started the thought process. Which meant she was still staring at him. Intently.
"Um, Hinata are you ok?" he asked, snapping Hinata out of her trance.
"What?" she asks, extremely confused.
"You were staring at me," Naruto tells her, a small smirk appearing on his face.
She looks around wide eyed and the others nod at her, agreeing with Naruto. Seeing this Hinata blushes and looks down, "I'm sorry," she mumbles and Naruto just smiles in response, before turning to Kakashi.
"So general, where's our new armor?" he asks, smile gone and all business.
Kakashi tilts his head questioningly, "New armor? Why would you need new armor?"
The four clones stared at him for a moment before Neji stepped forward. "Well sir, we can't wear our commando armor. No Mandalorian wears our type of armor. So we're going to need new armor, general."
Kakashi nodded, seeing the logic in it. "Alright, I'll ask Tsunade for some new armor for you four." The commandoes nodded and when Shikamaru was about to speak a new voice interrupted him.
"No need for that," Sakura said, walking up to the group calmly, "Tsunade has already seen to this problem. Your new armor is housed at your base. It's also where you'll be living for the duration of the mission."
"And where will you Jedi be staying?" Shikamaru asked, following Sakura as she led the group to an LAAT/i.
"Well, we most likely won't be staying with you all, if we do at all."
"And why's that?" Neji asked, deciding to be a part of the conversation for once.
"Because, you all are undercover. We can't risk exposing you by being in constant contact. But we will contact you every once in a while, rest assured." And with that Sakura tapped on one of the clone pilot's shoulder, "Let's get going pilot."
"Yes ma'am!" the pilot said loudly before lifting off of the platform. They rode in silence as the ship made its way down to Coruscant's lower levels. Which made the ride in the roomy LAAT/i extremely boring. Too boring to talk about.
As the troopers got off of the Larty, they stopped and stared around them. In the fading evening sky the colors of the neon signs and clubs and speeders dazzled the battle hardened commandoes. After all, they had left the two colors Kamino only five days ago. This was so much color to take in. The Jedi let the clones take it in for a moment before they started walking into the building, motioning for the clones to follow.
The building was probably the most nondescript thing they had ever seen. And they grew up on Kamino. It was one of the few buildings with no lights surrounding it. It was a dull gray that looked like it hadn't been cleaned in days. There were no windows, one entrance, and had nothing but thick metal walls.
Or, in commando terms, the safest place possible.
Walking inside the commandoes smiled. The inside was as plain as the outside. At least, until you looked closer. Or rather, past the living room. As Sakura led the rest further into their new living quarters, the commandoes' smiles grew.
Further into the building was a room filled with gadgets. It can't be said any other way. Stacked against the walls were tracers and jammers, holonet screens and radio comms. There were multiple computers plugged into one larger one. Neji grinned widely when they came upon the room nearly rubbing his hands together in excitement. He was the techy of the commandoes. He loved technology with a passion, and any chance to work with it he took.
As they moved on they came upon another room. This one made all clones, especially Sasuke, very happy. The room was filled with weapons. And while that would've made any warrior happy, what was even better was that not all of them were legal. Which meant they were too good at what they did.
Carbines and rifles lined the walls, heavy repeating blasters laid on the floor in a neat row on the far wall. Naruto and his brothers walked around the large room picking up and checking out the various weapons on the walls. Naruto picked up an EE-3 carbine rifle off the wall and turned to his brothers.
"What do you think?" he asked them striking a pose with the weapon.
His brothers looked at him and laughed. "Looks like it suit you better if you had a cape," Neji said, before laughing once more. Naruto scowled at his brothers but kept the carbine with him. He had the feeling that some bounty hunter would make it famous. Might as well be him.
Then Naruto heard the hum of a vibroblade being activated and he whipped around, to see Sasuke holding a vibrosword in his hands. Surprisingly, the vibrosword seemed to fit Sasuke. And he seemed to like it. Sasuke swung the vibrosword experimentally around a few times before deactivating it. But instead of putting it back, he sheathed it and put it on so that the handle of the deadly blade was pointing over his right shoulder.
"Nice," was all Shikamaru said before Sakura motioned for them to follow her as she walked out of the room. "Now your armor's over there in the room at the very end to the left. To the right is where you'll be sleeping. It's smaller on the outside, so don't worry about space. But the room in the middle is what is really important." Sakura told them, leading them to the end of the hallway, to a room filled with test tubes and a female scientist with glasses and strands of hair springing away from her bunch of pale blonde hair.
"This is our top scientist, Shiho. And she has something important to tell you all." Sakura said cryptically, before turning to the scientist and motioning for her to speak. Shiho looked up from her work and half smiled, half scowled at the clones.
"I was tasked with this mission as soon as the Republic found out about the clone army. And I think I'm just about done," Shiho told them proudly, not actually explaining what she had done. Kakashi coughed loudly, drawing the scientist's attention once more.
Realizing they were all looking at her expectantly, she looked at them confused, "Yes?"
"What've you been working on Shiho?" Kakashi asked, smiling slightly at the busy scientist.
"What? Oh, yeah," she said, obviously thinking about something else. "I've created an anti-aging serum for you clones. Basically, with this," she held up a vial, "You'll age normally."
All right, well, that's it for now. For those of you who know even the slightest about clones, you know they age twice as fast. And for those of you who've read the Republic commandoes and Imperial commandoes series, you'll know that this is the bane of the clone's existence. The fact that they couldn't live a full human life was constantly weighing down on them.
And so, if you know this, you'll know what a big deal the serum mentioned above is. Anyway, for those of you wanting action, don't worry, it comes soon. Along with one or two OCs. *Insert evil laugh here*
Also, to make things even more interesting, I'm introducing a point system. For each review, favorite, or follow I receive for any of my stories, you get a point. If you get 7 points, an OC of your choice gets inserted into my star wars fanfic. Meaning, you create an OC and I put him or her in. you decide the background, powers, whatever.
Just one rule. No, and I mean absolutely no, god modding. For those who don't know what that means, if you make your character a god among mortals or give them some sort of unbeatable power, I will delete them from memory. So, make them believable, by star wars terms of course.
So, review, and if you think you have seven points and I haven't contacted you, contact me, I'll check it out. Alrighty then, till next time! Review!
