Chapter 2
Sasuke gritted his teeth in frustration. Another "Naruto" crossed off the list. What was that 735 or 736 in total? It was a waste of his time that's what it was. Sending soon-to-be Padawans into the galaxy to find this myth.
"It builds experience with people and helps you get street smarts." He mumbled under his breath. That blasted Kakashi. He won't need those things when he became a Jedi; everyone will recognize his power. That's what he needed, power.
Sasuke gritted his teeth. He couldn't think like that too much, he has to be careful or else...things could be repeated. Or so they said.
Sasuke headed back to his ship and pondered about this Naruto kid. 'What's the big deal with him anyway? He should be around our age, yet they send off all sorts of people to find him.
"Were pretty sure he's a human. You'll know when you find him." Directly quoting the masters again. Blah, blah, blah.
What makes Naruto so special, more special than him, yeah right. He was Sasuke Uchiha, one of the most powerful students entered in the Jedi academy, ever. Yet he couldn't help but wonder how differently things would have be if he was with the Sith instead. How would be have fared against…would he be the same person?
Whatever. What's done is done, he'll defeat them all anyway. Well he might as well inform Kakashi the bad news.
Sasuke went into his rather nice ship and sat down in the cockpit. His ship could hold around seven people comfortably. The whole thing was colored either a glossy black or a shiny sliver. The outside was sleek and looked well built. It seemed to focus more on speed than power.
"Screen on, Master Kakashi."
The screen in front of him whirled a light blue color and a series of numbers flashed by until he saw a man with funny sliver hair and one eye (the other with a patch over it) happily smiling back at him.
"Sasuke how nice to see you!" Sasuke's scowl softened.
"It wasn't the one we are looking for." He replied with little emotion.
"Oh that's ok, you have done enough you can come back now."
"Humph"
It was always a mixed reaction for him when he went back to that quiet planet. The place where his family died, the place where everyone he knew lived. But… he didn't need friends. He needed power, he wanted it, craved it, till it haunted him in his dreams…
"How did the others do?"
"Oh nothing as well, they're heading back too. If you come quickly you might be able to get back for meatloaf night!"
"Humph" a small smile escaped him.
The screen went back to a light blue and he quietly but quickly sped back.

Dozens of jets of red lasers whizzed by Naruto as he barely dodged a grenade blast. Why did he ever think that this would be easy? How did this happen anyway? Oh yeah.
Flashback
So there he was quietly making his way to the tech department when he entered a large, round room. As soon as he did he felt a small buzzing coming from his helmet. The second story of the building had an open roof but was all one sided window that prevented him from seeing the inside. There were some empty metal box-car type things that provided some cover but not that much. On the other side there was a huge blaster door that looked like only a large battle ship could break through. The more he thought about it the more it seemed that this room was most likely a testing room. But testing what? The buzz had started to grow louder and he felt a little pain. He wished that he had something to wipe off the sweat that broke out of his forehead, not that he could as his suit covered every inch of his body. Boy it was hot.
He gave a signal to his team to stop. They glanced at one another, meaning that they were a little confused, but they weren't about to question their leader, yet. Man could they feel the heat? Or hear that awful ringing sound that was causing a little pain now? Just not enough things added up. They had met with minimal security, walked to a place that seemed to lead to a testing room no matter where you went, but that's not what the maps in the building show. And then this weird sound that just seemed to increase, along with the pain that went with it. A trap!
Before he could warn his team Naruto's head felt like it exploded! 'Uhg' it was getting harder rand harder to think, to breathe. His vision started turned black; he was going to puke that then pass out. He felt terrible eyes watching his every twitch, so intensely that it was as if they were the ones that were suffocating him. A cold sweat formed all over his body, his breathing became raspy and harsh. He had to warn his team but his thoughts were less and less coherent until only one thought dominated his mind.
Kill!
He felt himself going insane and dieing at the same time.
He felt a hand on his back "Naruto are you ok?" Choji asked with some hesitation.
And just like that everything was back to normal. "I'm ok now Choji, thanks for asking. Did you guys feel anything just now?" They all shook their heads no. Wait the trap!
Same soon as he thought that the massive doors leading the way out shut with a loud snap! And just as quickly so did the ones behind the new team.
"Choji!"
"I'm on it! These doors weren't close by computers, sir! It seems to have been some sort of outside force!"
"What!" 'No one could have that kind of power.'
The ground on the other side of the room parted and just over two dozen lizard-like men rose from a platform. They were wearing light blue armor that covered most of the vital parts of their body. You could see their three clawed feet and lizard heads with vicious teeth. The new arrivals immediately started firing while taking cover behind the random crates.
From above a man watched. "Naruto Uzumki, your friends saved you from the darkness, today." 'Maybe some day…'
With out another word Gaara left.
Naruto softly heard someone whisper his name into his ear.
End Flashback
'These guys seem to be hired mercenaries but I don't recognize the species at all! And their guns, I haven't seen them before either. How they know that we were coming?' There were too many pieces to the puzzle.
"Does anyone know what these things are?!" shouted Tenten.
"It matters not because with our power of youth we shall defeat them!!!"
"Right. Everyone you've done the simulation enough times to know what to do here! So… standard maneuver #22! Go!" Hollered Naruto.
Choji pulled out a large case that took up must of the space in his pack and flung it in the middle of the room. He then grabbed his pack and pulled out the last thing in it. It appeared to be a very small computer and in which he immediately started typing.
"Flash grenade thrown" said the leader, everyone closed there eyes.
The enemies were temporarily blinded from the flash. Giving Lee enough time to toss mines all around the circular room. Tenten was taking down men as fast as Naruto could blink. Naruto quickly joined the fray firing left and right with his blaster rifle. As he watched his team all working together at once he couldn't help but be amazed. He saw Tenten swerve to the right and take out an enemy that fired a little to close to Choji.
He was so damn happy to be part of this team. But he didn't have the guts to tell them that he considered them to be the family he never had.
Damn it! Now wasn't the time to be thinking about this! He was in the middle of a life or death battle to gods' sake!
"Naruto everything is set." Choji said.
"Lee how about some cover!" Naruto relied knowing that this was Lee's favorite part.
"Yes!!!" Grabbing his primary weapon, a rocket launcher, he fired a rocket at the case in the middle of the room. The effect was enormous as the mines started going off. It was a chain reaction, like a domino effect doing across the room, as all the mines were being triggered.
But they didn't have time to watch as Choji's computer skills once again came in handy by opening the huge explosion-proof, blast doors. The team quickly made there way past the momentarily disabled mercenaries and through the doors, which quickly shut behind them. Choji pulled out a trigger that looked like it belonged on a plane, you know the one that you press to fire the missiles, and he shut his eyes and squeezed the trigger. One last mine separate from the others went off in a hurry. The explosion was big enough to cause the weakened walls to tumble down. Needless to say all the enemies were either burnt to a crisp or crushed. That part was just luck really. Dark smoke from the explosions filled the new room that appeared to be a hanger. The "impenetrable" blast doors fell backward with a large 'thump'.
When the walls gave away Naruto's helmet had been blown off but he didn't care. In the smoke all he could see was a face. It had blood red hair and sea green eyes that were completely devoid of all emotion. Thick black lines were around the eyes with no eyebrows above them. A tattoo of love was above his right eye.
He was looking right into the face of Lord Gaara, Terror of the Sith.
Green eyes bored into clear blue. Naruto raised his rifle and fired. Smoke once again filled his vision but a strong gust of wind blew it away to reveal…nothing, he was gone.

Author's Notes— I hope I did ok on Sasuke's character. I kind of wanted his thought response to jump around a bit. I also feel that there wasn't enough humor in this chapter. Please tell me what you think that I could do better on. Does anything need explaining? Please let me know.
