On the planet of New Texas, Bravestarr and his wife J.B. stood on a platform of the space port. Their daughter having followed her father's footsteps has become a galaxy marshall at the age of 20. She has grown into a young woman who takes after her mother but has the darker skin tone and hair of her father. She also gained the same powers of her father's spirit animals. Eyes of the Hawk, Ears of the Wolf, Strength of the Bear, and Speed of the Puma, but she is also able to use magic thanks to the teachings of the Shaman.

"Are you're sure you're up for this assignment?" Bravestarr ask as Windstarr is being assigned to a planet by herself like he did when he came to New Texas.

"Dad, I'm ready for this. I learn from you after all," Windstarr said.

"Yes but the planet you're going to. It's under control of Stampede, with only a couple of settlements under the control of either Galaxy or the Krang. From what, I have heard he and his gang of outlaws are even more wild than they were ever here. From what the early prospectors reported, the outlaws slaughtered many of the natives who tried to fight back," J.B. said not liking how the Outlaws got away with what they have done.

"I know how you feel honey. But there's nothing we could do as the planet isn't apart of the Galaxy Council, but a joint settlement between us and the Krang. With all the red tape on the planet, the only law and order of the Galaxy Council can enforce is within the settlements, which are walled and force field protected. Stampede and his outlaws know better than attacking any of the settlements of either us or the Krang," Bravestarr said trying to ease his wife's worries.

"Where's Naruto?" J.B. ask.

"He's somewhere," Windstarr said as she hovers up into the air using her hover boots. It's something that came out in the market a few years ago. The inventor of which she knows very well.

"Sorry, I'm late," Naruto said hovering over to them with his hover boots. The hover boots are his invention by strapping some old hover units used on a broken stagecoach to hover around. His idea caught on as he and Windstarr showed off their new toys around. J.B. managed to get a patent on it before Naruto's idea got claim by others. (1)

"You two shouldn't use those things all the time," Bravestarr said as the hover boots are nice and all but he rather walk.

"Is it because you keep on falling on your face?" J.B. ask him.

"No," Bravestarr said defensively.

"Yeah right," J.B. said as she waves him off.

"Windstarr the ship is ready," Naruto said hovering over to them.

"So long dad, mom," Windstarr said flying off to the ship ready to leave.

"Naruto wait," Bravestarr said stopping him.

"Yes?" Naruto ask.

"As a lawman, I was taught that someone like you should confront those who abuse them. But you don't have to go if you don't want to," Bravestarr said.

"No, I don't but Windstarr has been station there. She will need someone to help her and keep her gear in working order. I'm the engineer who can do it. Besides you have all done so much for me, the least, I can do is help Windstarr in any way that, I can," Naruto explains. (2)

"Thank you for looking over our girl," Bravestarr said as Naruto has grown up to be a fine lad.

"Just prepare yourself for what you're going to see once you reach your old home planet. Things have changed and for many not for the better," J.B. said.

"By the way does it have a name?" Naruto ask.

"Your home planet is listed as planet, Shinobra," J.B. answers.

"Time to see what Stampede has done to it then," Naruto said as he took off for the ship.

On planet Shinobra -

In the years following Stampede landing on the planet and killing Trekrack the source for the lion share of the ninja world's power, the way of life for the ninjas have changed. With more than half of their chakra gone and many of those with blood limits finding themselves unable to use them or suffering from the effects of using them or just plain dying. The ninjas that were left were not ready for the sudden change in power, those ninjas who didn't rely on high level chakra jutsus suddenly found themselves the strongest as they had the combat skills that the other ninjas lacked. But they were always very few in numbers and many of the ninjas aren't combat trained. While the ninja villages did have around 10,000 ninjas, that's only by counting the old, young, and no longer combat ready and ninjas who aren't trained for combat.

The ninjas tried to fight against Stampede and his forces. It took only a week of bombing their villages from space to take the fight out of them. For without Trekrack giving them their power boost they were simply no matched for Stampede. Then the droids began to appear, taking over entire villages and other settlements. The ninjas couldn't fight them in their weaken conditions, or withstand their weapons that either out right killed them in one shot or cause them to freeze up unable to move. Then came many ninjas becoming missing ninjas as they flock to Stampede who gave them the power to use chakra as they did under Trekrack. It was caused after the Sound Village became underlings for Stampede. Many ninjas having lost their powers or dying from their blood limits joined Stampede.

The only thing that stop Stampede from completely taking over was the arrival of both the Galaxy Council and Krang ships. They learned that their planet is on the border between their two governments and would share their planet between them. With them they brought a wealth of knowledge and marvels of the likes that their world had never seen before. But also with them they brought much change. Their way of life along with ancient traditions were pushed aside or broken in their wake. For some it meant their entire culture and way of life was either changed or destroyed. But for many the changes brought something that the old culture didn't had, a way to bring themselves up in the world that the culture they came from didn't allowed. For in the old world only those who are ninjas are worth anything as it's always been ninja this and ninja that. You're only worth something if you're a ninja or born in a noble family. But now with the ninjas having lost so much power and weapons appearing that make anyone their equals, the ninjas quickly learned that the things that they could have gotten away with before, because of their social ranking no longer mattered at all. The lords of the lands have all joined with one of the three great powers that are now on their world, either joining Stampede, the Galaxy Council or the Krangs. As for the ninjas villages, they're nothing more than a shadow of what they once were. (3)

In the Hokage tower, the 3rd Hokage sat in his office looking over the latest reports from the field. The village is still rebuilding from the last raid by Stampede's forces. The reason for the raid was to steal the kerium they had mined. With the knowledge that the red crystals that they find everywhere is worth more than gold, many of the Hidden Villages now switched to mining kerium to keep afloat as demand for their ninjas skills have drop to almost nothing. The missions they get now are gathering information and spying, mainly to do with kerium traders and merchants. The combat skills that the ninjas are use to being called in for were no longer needed. Which meant the ninja classes had to switch from combat and jutsu skills, to information and stealth skills which are in demand. (4)

This has changed the power base of all the villages that aren't on Stampede's side. Those few ninjas with actually skills in information gathering and stealth skills that aren't based on jutsus or chakra which can be detected by the machines, are now in great demand. The great clans of the village who relied on their blood limits or combat skills now found themselves fallen from power. As like the Yamanaka clan and the Nara Clan whose blood limits would have been useful quickly found themselves unable to use them anymore. Not without much effort on their part and much chakra, which has killed or crippled many. The Hyuga and Inuzuka clans simply lost their blood limits all together, the Hyuga could no longer see as they once their their eyes no longer white, while the Inuzuka couldn't talk with their dogs anymore. And they're the lucky ones as other clans had to bare more horrible fates with the lost of chakra that they use to be able to use. The Aburame clan is all but gone now with only a small number of them left. They like other specialized clans found without the magic boosting field, the bugs inside their bodies turned on them. Only a few of the members survived long enough to have the bugs inside of them removed. (5)

Sanrutobi frown as he read through the reports, all of them bad news for the village. Many of the Hidden Villages are outside the protection of either the Krang or the Galaxy Council which would keep Stampede's forces from openly attacking the villages. Both the Krang and Galaxy Council were horrified once they learned they used children as soldiers. The only way they would grant them protections if they submit themselves into obeying the laws that both governments run under. Besides having to pay taxes for the protection they would have to give up much in their way of life. One being that children can't be used as soldiers and other things that would change their way of life. Many of the Hidden Villages refused the offer and are fending for themselves. And none of them are doing well. While the kerium deposits do bring money into the villages that allows them to buy some of the machines and other technology marvels, it also made them into targets from Stampede's forces. For while his forces do control several mines they are more than willing to steal already mined kerium from others.

Both of his old students came back to the village which helped but still isn't enough. Tsuande like him lost most of her skills that need large amounts of chakra to use, she couldn't even keep up the transformation technique that made her look as she did in her prime. Jiraiya lost most of his skills as well and is now putting his energy into maintain his information network. Unless a ninja is working under Stampede, the highest chakra level that any ninja could handle is rookie level.

Then there were the summons many of which became nothing more than animals. No ninja could summon any of their old summons anymore. The summons had depended on the magic field for too long and couldn't survived without it. The big ones were hunted down by Stampede forces for sport. As for the demons, the villages that had them quickly found out that the host could still use chakra as they did before. They had hope to use them against Stampede, but all of them turn against their villages, leaving nothing but death in their wake. The Krang and Galaxy Council hunted them down using their advance technology to bring each of the demons down. They took the demons out and sent them off planet to research labs. Stampede didn't bothered with them as he said he had no need for such creatures. Before the two government's forces took the demons away, Stampede forces had spent much time blasting the demons killing their host for sport. (6) The demons had been seen running for their lives as Stampede's forces blasted them from their ships trying to see how many times they could be killed till they didn't come back. There is only one demon left on the planet, the one tail with it's host still alive and on Stampede's side. Where the Hidden Village of Sand once stood is where the Hexagon now stands. It's now a spare port and a wretched hive for the scum and villainy from all corners of space. (7)

Jiraiya entered the room with the damage report from the raid, Tsuande is busy treating the wounded. Which is harder now that she has no medical jutsus to fall back on and the medical machines that they managed to buy she's not use to using them yet. The younger nurses and doctors quickly learned how to use the new devices while the older ones like Tsuande had to struggle to relearn and unlearn to understand how they work.

"Stampede's forces managed to steal 37 percent of the kerium in the warehouse. Luckly this time no one was killed," Jiraiya said.

"At this rate the village is going to go under," the Hokage said.

"We could join the Galaxy Council," Jiraiya said having been beaten enough times by Stampede's forces to know the ninja way of life as it was is over.

"The council is still against it," the Hokage said.

"What will it take for them to swallow their pride and just take the offer. All we have to do is stop training children to be ninjas and only train the ones who are adults," Jiraiya said.

"I know but that's how they are," the Hokage said. "Have you found anything about Naruto?"

"Still nothing. All, I managed to find out is that he was taken to the planet New Texas by those two prospectors who first found our planet. I talk with them myself down in Waves and they have no idea what happen to him after they drop him off at the hospital there. He could be on any planet that a space ship can reach at this point," Jiraiya said.

"As, I feared," the Hokage said thinking about the Toad scroll that Jiraiya received from the Toads before Stampede came. In it Naruto was named as the one who will save the ninja world from a great evil. But with Stampede having setup shop and the remaining ninja villages barely hanging onto their independents, they didn't have any manpower to spare in looking for Naruto.

"You really think he would have made a differents if he was here?" Jiraiya ask.

"He is his parents child. You know he would have," the Hokage said. "Fate is for things that aren't there. Naruto would have made all the differents."

"For all the things that, I have done means nothing. I failed to be there for him when he needed me," Jiraiya said.

"We all did," the Hokage agreed.

Author's Notes -

1 –Remember no one thought to lay claim on the first pair of skates or the yellow smiling face. If they had it would have made them money. With the skates it might have been before you could claim rights to something you invented.

2 - Naruto is now a mechanic with a degree in engineering. He has taken the passion he would have had for ninja and put it into engineering. He's able to put just about anything together and make it work like Macgyver, by using scrap metal, bits of wire, gum, and lots of duct tape. Windstarr counts on him in repairing and maintaining her equipments. Like how Scotty on Star Trek kept the ship running on gum, wire and rubber bands. Or how Donatello of TMNT is able to build things he finds in the sewers. Besides Naruto is always shown as a ninja, it's a nice change of pace to have him being a tech base hero. It works for plenty of comic book heroes.

3 - The ninjas are going through the samething that the samurai class went through once their usefulness was no longer needed.

4 - The ninja way of life started by the first human colony was nothing more than base childhood fantasy and fanboy dream of what being a ninja is. And not what a real ninja really do. Which is why they're not doing well as their sneaking and gathering skills aren't that good compared to their combat and jutsu skills. Which their combat and jutsu skills are now out class and outdated by the space age tech that's been brought to their world.

5 - Blood limits are no longer able to be used unless they're being powered by Stampede's magic. Some can be but it's as damaging as taking hard drugs that damaged the body with each usage. The ninjas if they tried to use their blood limits as they are now would either burn their chakra systems out, cripple themselves, or just plain die. Only the ones allied to Stampede are able to use their blood limits as they did before.

6 - The demons expect for the one tail one are all been captured by either the Galaxy Council or the Krang. And without the magic boosting field if the demon is killed enough times without any chance to recover, it dies as they don't have the power needed to keep on coming back to life, end of story.

7 - Stampede is running things like the Hutts from Star Wars. Lots of criminals and a black market where just about anything can be found and sold. Stampede keeps it orderly and is actually fairly clean and is more of a Vice City than hive. But that's only in the protected areas where Stampede's businesses are while the other areas that are crime ridden, are filled with nothing but junkies and crazy people who will kill you for anything of value. Showing how scary such a setting is and why if there is an area like that in real life you should never go there alone or at night.
