Well here is my attempt at a star wars/Naruto fanfic, I really just hit a snag with my other two fics, as I need more information for my Naruto/halo fanfic and I don't have internet where I am at, and I'm still running up ideas for my other fic, and star wars is something I know of better than I know Halo, so this should be interesting and I really only plan on completing three chapters before I stop and wait till I get back to civilization to see if anyone likes it or not. Anyway that should be enough time for me to come up with a decent name for this fic.
For the record and I am only saying this once, I don't own Naruto or Star Wars.

Ch.1 A Timely Escape
-3653 BBY, Above Coruscant-
Naruto was having the roughest time in the skies above the republic's capital against Sith starfighters. Currently there were hundreds of Sith dreadnoughts orbiting the planet and hundreds of starfighters infesting the skies. Naruto along with many of the Jedi and republic pilots took to the skies to defend their home from the Sith, but the battle wasn't going well, someone had turned off the planet's defenses and had killed the chancellor. Right now Naruto was trying to get clear of the giant clusterfuck of ships to jump to safety and into hiding as he had gotten a transmission that the temple had fallen and that all surviving jedi were to escape into hiding until further notice. Though he was dodging cannon fire from five Sith S-12 Blackbolts and his modified BT-7 wasn't made for speed, though it had excellent shielding, but right now his shields had failed and he was about to do something really risky as the Blackbolts were gaining too much ground.
Naruto circled around a Sith dreadnought and finally was clear to jump to hyperspace, but he knew the Sith would be right behind him so he punched in the coordinates to the nearest black hole and jumped, and like he predicted the five Sith starfighters jumped right after he did. It would take about thirty minutes so Naruto activated the three repair droids he had on board and tasked them to try to get the shields back online while he prepared what would likely be his last transmission. He punched in the emergency frequency that the republic and the jedi used.
"For any Jedi left out there that can hear me, this is Jedi Knight Naruto Uzumaki, I am attempting to lose my pursuers near a black hole, my ship is damaged and I fear that I will not make it, if my padawan is still alive, please tell her I am sorry I couldn't see her complete her training that I am proud of what she has become…. Good luck and may the force be with us all." With that Naruto shut off the transmitter and started to help the droids repair the shield generator. Thirty minutes later the shields were back up, but not at a hundred percent, and the battered BT-7 exited hyperspace in front of the black hole. Naruto stared at it for a few seconds until the proximity alarm sounded, signaling that his pursuers had arrived.
Naruto whipped his ship around to face his enemies and accelerated towards them with his cannons all firing catching three of the Sith fighters off guard and blasting them into oblivion. The other two were lucky and found themselves out of range. They returned fire scoring a few hits and passed Naruto. They all turned their ships to face each other and fired again. Naruto scored direct hits on both fighters causing the ships to burst into flames, but Naruto's ship wasn't unscathed either as the Navi computer had been hit and it had activated the hyperdrive. He tried to deactivate the hyperdrive, but Naruto couldn't stop it from sending him through the black hole at lightspeed. The last thing Naruto remembered before blacking out was a massive disturbance in the force.
-22BBY Unknown planet's surface-
Naruto was awoken by suddenly being thrown out of his chair and onto the floor as his ship crashed on the surface of a planet. Eventually his ship came to a stop and Naruto got up from being tossed around, and to his dismay he saw that his ship, his trusty ship that got him out of so many tough scrapes was beyond repair. Naruto collected himself for a moment to take stock of his situation. He had traveled through a black hole while in hyperspace, crashed on a planet that didn't look familiar. Naruto hissed in pain as he found out the hard way that his right arm was broken and he was pretty sure a few of his ribs were as well.
'Kurama… how bad is it?'
"You stupid brat, you took too much of a risk, and now look at yourself… Stuck on a planet we know nothing about and injured." Kurama took a deep breath. "But at the very least we're alive and for the most part out of danger from being attacked by the Sith, and you are very lucky that you have both me and your healing factor…. Now, your ribs should be healed by tonight as they are only fractured and not completely broken, but your arm will take two or three days for me to completely heal as you have three clean breaks. two on your wrist and one on your upper arm. Do try to stay out of trouble while I try to patch you up." With his peace said, the old fox cut the link.
Naruto sighed and started to scavenge what he could. He retrieved the one pair of silver jedi robes that had survived the crash, he was quite happy they survived as he had modified them to have a thin layer of Beskar mesh underneath that he had taken from some fallen Mandolorian warriors that had attacked him and his padawan. The next few things he found were his spare lightsaber, some emergency supplies, his portable distress beacon, and his old staff from his home planet. After finding nothing else intact he left his ship through a large hole in the living quarters and made his way to one of the large trees off in the distance.
It took him a few hours to hobble to the massive tree with a large hollow trunk, when he was done, Naruto sat down to meditate and connect with the force as it was too late in the day to set out to find anyone to help him, and he didn't know of the dangers that lurked in this planet so he had to be extremely careful. A few hours later Naruto stood up looking slightly disturbed as the force felt drastically different than it did a day or two ago, but that wasn't possible, deciding to figure out what had happened the next morning, Naruto used the force to pull one of the large seeds that had fallen from the large tree and used it to block the entrance to his refuge and curled up on a soft patch of ground.
A few hours later Naruto woke up to find that he could breathe without feeling any pain from his ribs. Naruto raised his left hand and used the force to push away the large seed blocking the entrance to his hollow. Naruto grabbed one of the ration bars that he had and sat in the entrance. When he finished his meager breakfast, Naruto began to meditate and tried to feel his padawan's presence in the force. Though to his dismay he couldn't feel her at all, he then tried to feel for any of the jedi that he knew of, but he couldn't feel them either. He then reached out to see if any jedi had survived the purge and to his luck he felt many scattered across the galaxy, and to his surprise he felt three heading to this planet at a rather high speed. Naruto looked up to see what looked like a fireball heading at full speed to the surface. Well it looked like he wasn't the only one to crash-land on this planet. Naruto watched the ship fall from the sky until it disappeared past the horizon. Naruto made up his mind to try to make his way to the crash, he sealed away his supplies, robe, data he salvaged from his ship, and his spare lightsaber into a seal on his left hand. Naruto donned his cloak and reached for his staff and slowly made the journey to where Naruto thought the ship had landed.
It took most of the day to travel to the crash site but when he arrived he found that a creature with a bird like head attacking a figure in white and blue armor, and an injured human male jedi on the ground struggling to get up to help fend off the creature. Naruto used the force and lifted the creature off the ground and tossed it a good ways away, the creature looked at Naruto and hightailed it out of there. Naruto stepped into the clearing and made his presence known to the two people now looking up to him and the white armored one held a blaster pistol aimed at him, Naruto let his staff drop to the ground and held his good arm up as to surrender.
"Identify yourself" demanded the armored soldier.
"I would think my clothes would have made it obvious, but I am Jedi knight Naruto Uzumaki, may I ask who you two are?" asked Naruto as he put his arm down.
"My name is Captain Rex and this is General Skywalker, we sustained damage during a battle and our ship jumped into hyperspace and we crash-landed here." Responded the armored figure.
"Ha! What is the chance of you believing the same thing happened to me and am I correct to believe that there are two other jedi in the area?"
"That wouldn't be too hard to believe, but how did you know about the other two jedi sir?"
"I could sense them, though it looks like Skywalker could use a bit of help right now" Naruto said as he motioned to the struggling jedi on the ground. Rex quickly helped his General back into the makeshift shelter and sat by the now relit fire and took his helmet off. Naruto likewise sat by the fire and lowered his hood.
Rex observed the young man in front of him. He had short spiky blond hair that seemed to spike out in every direction and had the bluest eyes the clone had ever seen. The man also had three whisker marks on each side of his face, and that seemed strange to him.
"Captain, may I ask what kind of ship this is? I have been around many, but I haven't seen one like this."
"Are you serious sir?" asked the clone in disbelief.
"Quite"
"This is a consular class cruiser sir, it is one that the republic uses for transport and escorting other ships. It was used by the jedi before the clone wars-"
"The what?"
"Sir… you haven't heard of the clone wars? How long have you been on this planet?" asked Rex
"Two days, I crashed here after a skirmish with some sith warriors where my nav computer was damaged and I jumped into hyperspace and went through a black hole. I don't really remember anything but arriving here and my poor BT-7 is completely ruined." Said Naruto.
"Sir…. BT-7s haven't been used in almost three and a half thousand years… and the sith empire collapsed a millennium ago."
Naruto was speechless… had he jumped forwards in time when he went through the black hole? It was possible, but then it also meant that his padawan and everyone that he knew was long gone…. "I suppose when I jumped into hyperspace while entering a black hole, I somehow went forward in time. But I am still not sure… do you mind telling be what is going on in the galaxy at the moment?" asked Naruto looking very lost.
"Ok sir…here is how the clone wars started…" and the conversation went on for hours with Naruto asking questions and Rex answering the best he could. Eventually they talked until the planet's sun came up, and during that time Anakin had stirred a couple times but fell back into unconsciousness soon after he woke up.
"So you are telling me that the republic is fighting a droid army with clones of a bounty hunter?" asked Naruto slightly bemused.
"Yes." "And the clones are being led by jedi?" "Yes"
"Wow… I guess I traded one war for another…. Ah it seems like one of your friends are back." said Naruto slowly getting up to see another clone, a young Togruta and a rolling furball he assumed to be a Lurmen, slow down and stop at the edge of the clearing when they saw him. The clone raised his blaster and the young Togruta ignited her lightsaber. Naruto didn't really blame them as seeing an unfamiliar figure in a black cloak by your injured friend is slightly worrisome, though Naruto not really wanting to start a fight right now just held out his hand and pulled their weapons out of their hands. He directed the blaster over by Rex and caught the padawan's lightsaber and switched it off.
"Hey! Give that back!" whined/demanded the young Togruta ready to pounce on the stranger to reclaim her lightsaber.
"Now, now youngling, you have no need of this right now, come… sit down and rest for a moment as your Lurmen friend takes a look at master Skywalker, you too Commander, you come sit down as well." Said Naruto as he sat down and observed the youngling's lightsaber. He looked back up at them after a minute and saw that only the Lurmen had moved. "Well sit down, I'm not going to bite. Well, not unless you want me to." Naruto said jokingly. The youngling looked a little appalled, and Naruto could guess that the clone was shocked but the helmet hid his expressions.
"Commander Bly, Commander Tano, this is Jedi knight Uzumaki, he drove away one of those bird things that attacked us last night." Said Rex waving them over to the camp fire. They slowly sat down on the opposite side of the camp fire and stared at the extra that had found them.
"You seem to have something on your mind youngling." Said Naruto.
"Where did you come from, what happened to you, and could you not call me a youngling! You don't look that much older than me." Ahsoka spat out, still unhappy at being disarmed.
"Well I came from a world that has been long since destroyed but you must mean where did I come from before I arrived on this planet. Well I came from the temple, and as for why I am like this, I crash landed on this planet same as you. Now for why I call you a youngling is… how old are you?" "fifteen" "Yeah, that is mostly why, you still look like one and as to why I look so young is because of what I am, I may look young but I am around five hundred years old, give or take a few years."
Ashoka and the two clones looked gob smacked and Naruto smirked at their reaction.
"Y…You… what are you? I have never met a human that ages so slowly." Asked a very bewildered Ashoka.
"A very rude question, but I guess I can say that I am not human. I am something else entirely and I am the last of my kind as my people were slaughtered in the war…" said Naruto as he noticed the Lurmen coming over to them. "So how is he?"
"Your friend is stable for now, but we need to get him back to the village, and it looks like you need to be looked at too." Said Wag Too.
Naruto shook his head. "I'll be fine in a day or two, we should really get going if pretty boy needs help." Said Naruto as he stood up and tossed Ashoka back her lightsaber which she barely caught and slammed the butt of his staff on the ground and to everyone's amazement a wooden litter grew out of the ground under Anakin. Naruto then used the force to lift and move the litter to where it was floating beside him three feet off the ground. "So shall we get moving?" Naruto said with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. Oh he was so enjoying screwing with people that obviously have never seen his people's abilities, though in all reality it was very possible that many force abilities were lost during the purge but even then he was an oddity due to his chakra.
The others simply nodded and followed him. it took a few hours to get back to the Lurmen village to see many curious villagers and a very curious Twi'lek jedi waiting for them at the entrance.
Aayla looked on curiously as she saw her group return with an extra, a young man she had never seen before that was dressed in an odd style of jedi robes that looked outdated.
"Commander who is our new friend?" asked Aayla.
"Well general, he is a jedi that also crash landed on this planet."
Naruto put the litter down and stepped towards Aayla and bowed.
"My name is Jedi knight Naruto Uzumaki, guardian of knowledge and former sentinel, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Said Naruto with a smirk.
"I am Aayla Secura… may I ask what you mean by guardian and what you have done to have the padawan glare at you?"
"Ah that… well I disarmed her, and I think she is a little unhappy on how easily I did it." Answered Naruto now staring down at Ashoka, who looked away and gave a slight 'hmph'. "As for what I mean by guardian, that is something between me and the council. I do have a question though, which one of you is her master?" asked Naruto with a slight frown.
"That would be Master Skywalker." Said Aayla
With that Naruto walked back over to the litter that now had an awake and very confused Anakin surrounded by Lurmen villagers.
"So I have a question for you pretty boy. Why do you let your padawan dress like a whore?" it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. The clones, Lurmen, and Anakin looked dumbstruck, Aayla had a hand covering her mouth with a slight blue blush on her cheeks, and Ashoka looked like she was about to die from embarrassment.
"Hell my padawan wanted to dress similar to her, and when I asked why she argued that full robes would hinder her flexibility, I proved her wrong, but I made a compromise with her. Instead of wearing the full upper portion of the robes, she could wear a tank top with disconnected sleaves. Oh she made a big fuss about it but in the end accepted it."
Naruto looked around and saw all eyes were on him and that everyone had their jaw hanging open.
"Ah yes… I forgot many people are not used to seeing or hearing a jedi being so crass. Well if you all have any questions, I will be over on the hill to the south of the village." Naruto said and started walking away from the group.
"uh snips, you mind filling me in?" was the last thing Naruto heard before he was out of sight. Naruto then vanished in a swirl of leaves and reappeared on the hill overlooking the village.
Naruto sat down and reached for his saber and stared at it. It was a long hilted single-bladed lightsaber that held two gold crystals. It was considered a mechanical marvel at the time as he could split his hilt at the middle and be wielding two separate short sabers, but now he was not so sure it was exclusive to him. His staff could also split in half but was connected by some near unbreakable wire, he could pull off some rather unorthodox moves with it, he remembered how he thoroughly bested his padawan with only his staff, and the result was that she had been tangled up in the wires while hanging upside down. Naruto sighed and thought about when he first met his padawan. She was a young Arkanian that was so adorable, but she was arrogant as hell and thought she knew everything as all Arkanians did, but he nipped that quickly in the bud as he pretty much beat it out of her with training and embarrassed her relentlessly. Oh how she hated him for the first few months, but as the years went on and after many missions together, they grew closer, similar to a father and daughter pair. Of course, there were sometimes where that bond was double edged sword as he almost had almost lost it when he thought she was killed by Mandalorians, he in a fit of rage had slaughtered the group without remorse. Though when he was finished with them he found that she was still alive barely, he had rushed her back to his ship and placed her into a bacta tank. Of course, he went back and stripped the mandolorians of their armor and weapons as he didn't want to leave them for anyone else to take and use against the jedi. When he had returned to the temple he was given time to rest and heal as he had been injured as well. He was also shaken that he had lost control, but what had bothered him the most was that he had almost lost his padawan.
Naruto was brought back from memory lane when he noticed that the young padawan had sat down beside him.
"Shouldn't you be with your master, youngling?" asked Naruto slightly making Ashoka jump slightly as she thought he was still meditating. "Or do you have questions for me?"
"How did you make the litter to carry my master, and why did you look guilty when you mentioned your padawan, what happened to you?"
"You're going to have to elaborate on the last question little one, many things happened, but as to what I did, it is a skill that my kind have that is like the force, but we can control the elements and a few other things. As to my padawan, something happened that I haven't forgiven myself for even though she has."
"How did you end up here with a broken arm?"
"Ah it's a mixture of bad luck, a busted Navi computer, jumping into hyperspace through a black hole, and crashing here on the surface of this planet. I am still unhappy that my favorite ship is totaled." Said Naruto pouting, though Ashoka looked at him in shock.
"You went through a black hole?" "Yup" "What kind of ship could survive that?"
"Well I don't know how but my BT-7 managed, though it might be because I named the ship after my late wife and I guess she's still looking after me." At the mention of him once being married Ashoka gained a 'what the fuck' look on her face.
"But master, jedi are forbidden to be married."
"….. I guess after a few thousand years things are bound to change… I guess I should explain a few things, so they make more sense to you as this is still a little confusing to me. Now I believe that when I went through the black hole at lightspeed that I went forward in time. The only reason is that only a few days ago I was fighting the sith empire above Coruscant and that I was told to retreat because the temple had fallen and now, I am hearing that the sith empire fell a thousand years ago, and that the jedi number in the thousands and are leading a war against battle droids with the help of clones that are trained for combat. In all fairness it is still too much for me to accept that I have jumped almost three thousand years into the future straight into another war-" Naruto was cut off by a loud distant humming. He looked up to see a large ship enter his line of sight and start to descend. The ship in Naruto's opinion looked more like a large metal boot with wings. "By the look on your face I can guess they are not someone I can expect to be friendly."
"We need to get back to the village, come on whiskers." Said Ashoka jumping up and sprinting away. Naruto sighed, he couldn't help but notice how Ashoka was very similar to his apprentice as she too decided to give him the same nickname, though there were some differences. He shook his head and stood up, and slowly walked down to the village.
He apparently had been temporarily forgotten as his new friends were nowhere in sight and the Lurmen stared at him with wide eyes as they thought he had left. Naruto jumped up on the tallest seed building and concealed himself rather well. It took the ship a few minutes to land and offload its' passengers. Naruto watched as the droids advanced and ransacked the village looking for something, and eventually the droids stood at attention in front of who Naruto guessed was the person in charge of them. Eventually the droids marched back on the ship and left. As soon as the ship was out of sight Naruto slid down the pod and landed next to the Lurmen chief.
"Well that was interesting…. What did they want?"
"They were searching the village for weapons or contraband. Like they would find any weapons here, we are a peaceful people." said the old Lurmen while hobbling into his home.
"I don't know what your definition of peaceful is, but I would have to disagree with your claim to be peaceful."
"What would you claim us to be master jedi?"
"The word I would use would be harmless." Said Naruto causing the old lurmen to become agitated but before he could speak Naruto spoke again.
"From what I can see from your village none of your people know have to fight or defend themselves, that makes you an easy target for others to bully and slaughter you. To be peaceful is to know how to cause great violence yet make the choice to say no more." With that Naruto left the old lurman to think upon what had been said.
Naruto sat down by a firepit and looked back to where he saw the ship vanish and decided to wait around in the village as he had a feeling that his friends would soon return to the village to protect it. He turned out to be correct as his friends did return a day and a half later with a ship and two shield generators.
"So what did you all find out?"
"The separatists have a new toy, it destroys anything living but leaves machines unharmed."
"Sounds like a challenge…. You said that they were coming…. Which direction are they coming from?" at the question Ashoka pointed to the west and Naruto grinned as it seemed like there were many hiding spots that direction and Naruto started to form a plan. He then laid out the plan to the others. In short the two clones, Ashoka, and Aayla would stay in the village to protect it. Anakin would hide close to where Naruto guessed the tanks would stop, and Naruto would hide somewhere in-between so he could help whoever he needed to. The four jedi and two clones went about setting up their defense and ambush. Now completely surrounding the village was a wall of the large seed pods and to the villagers, jedi, and clones amazement, Naruto used his strange ability to fuse the pods together to create a rather rounded wall. Naruto decided that it was time to hide for the ambush.
A half hour later Naruto could see a large group of droids and three tanks approaching the village from his hiding spot. Naruto looked over at the few columns of battle droids and snickered. These droids didn't look half as dangerous as an HK unit and they looked rather fragile. Though the tall dark droids looked a smidge more dangerous, but nothing Naruto would fret over. Though they may be a dangerous as a jawa, their numbers may be a problem as Naruto counted at least eighty in total, which was basically almost two platoons. Naruto watched as the shield generators were activated. This seemed to amuse the droid commander as he ordered the tank to fire the defoliator cannon. The tank fired and the shell arced across the sky until it hit the shield head on. What happened next reminded Naruto of a firestorm he saw once on a volcanic planet as the round exploded and sent an ever-increasing ring of fire creeping along the shield. Eventually the fire went out and it appeared to do no damage to the shield. When the commander saw that the shield was still up, he franticly ordered five squads of droids to attack. Ashoka, Aayla, and the two clones stepped just outside the shield to repel the droids. When the two opposing sides clashed, Naruto helped his friends by using a force technique that shorted out electronics and effectively took out half of the attacking force. This action confused all that saw is as it seemed that twenty perfectly operating droids just simply died and collapsed on their own.
Naruto almost laughed at the expression the droid commander made when the whole of the five squads were destroyed in roughly a little more than two minutes. The other five squads along with a tank were sent in and Naruto decided it was time to put on a show. Naruto separated his dual bladed lightsaber and ignited both blades and jumped into battle. He used his superior speed to appear in the center and only could be described as a golden blur as he decimated most of the droids and shreaded the tank, though a few had gotten past him and destroyed the shield generators, but were quickly destroyed by the younger generation of the Lurmen villagers. The rotund droid commander and his tanks were disabled by Skywalker. All in all, a very eventful day. The group restrained the commander plus the techs that came with him, and helped the Lurmen clean up their mess. They were surprised that they received thanks from the Lurmen chief for helping defend the village. A few minutes after they all heard a loud -WHOMPH- and looked up to see three republic cruisers moving into atmosphere. Everyone looked relieved but Naruto as he looked rather menacing as his eyes changed to a red vulpine shape and his whisker like marks grew more pronounced. Ashoka was about to ask what was wrong but Naruto raised his hand toward the middle cruiser and the cruiser started to nose down dramatically towards the surface.
Naruto was immediately tackled by both of the clones and held down.
"SIR what the hell are you doing? That's a republic ship!" shouted Rex.
"I-I'm sorry. I mistook it for a ship of the Sith empire… they are very similar in design. I am very curious where the republic got those designs, though I will begrudgingly say that they were very effective." Said Naruto as his eyes returned to their normal blue but still held the vulpine shape. "I guess I have to see the council now that we can leave…. I wonder how they will take the news that their missing Guardian has returned."
-Two days later Jedi High council chambers-
Needless to say, Naruto's return caused quite the stir around the temple, as all the jedi had heard that the lost Guardian of knowledge had been found after almost three and a half thousand years. Many of the elder jedi thought that they were bringing back his remains, and the younger knights and padawans were curious as they had never known that the jedi were missing someone so important. Though now he was standing in the center of the chamber with only a few of the council members present as all the others were preoccupied with battles or other matters. His problem right now was that the council didn't believe he was who he said he was. And that really irked him.
"So…. You do not believe me to be the person I say I am?" asked Naruto a little agitated.
"Say that, we did not. Only proof of identity, we do not have." Answered the little green being that Naruto assumed was the grandmaster.
"So what would you consider proof"
The dark-skinned human answered instead of the grandmaster. "The librarian had in his possession two holocrons, one a key, and the other a map. He also had a staff from the ravaged planet of Edo, his home planet, if you can produce these objects, we would be highly unable to dispute the fact of who you say you are."
Naruto unsealed his staff and held it in his left hand, and Naruto then unsealed a black holocon and a white holocron and held them both in his right.
Naruto then began to speak. "In my hand are two holocrons, one a map to the hidden library of the Jedi…. Basically a backup of all information that the jedi collected over their many years that has been linked to the libraries of every temple that we have ever had and I assume that it has updated itself over the three and a half thousand years I have been gone. The good thing is that during the sacking of the temple all information was copied and sent to the library for safe keeping, so in all reality I will be bringing back some of the history and information thought lost to the jedi. The second holocron is simply the key. Any questions?" Naruto said in a dry tone.
The bearded jedi Naruto assumed was who Anakin said was his master spoke up. "I was wondering if you could explain how you were displaced from your time to ours Master Uzumaki."
"Well Master Kenobi, first I have not yet gained the rank of master so please don't call me one, and second I still don't really know the answer myself, but I will be looking into it, but I suspect that when I entered hyperspace and went through the black hole, that something happened to where I traveled forward in time until my hyperdrive deactivated."
"Do you mind explaining what You do as the Guardian?" Asked an older Female Togruta.
"Well basically I am the keeper and custodian of the Jedi's hidden archive, which I built as the result of the Grand Jedi Library being destroyed and in case of the temple being destroyed. I am its' protector and I was to train my replacement in case I was to fall as times were getting dangerous, but before my padawan became a knight we were attacked and the temple fell. We were ordered into hiding." Said Naruto sadly.
"You were the Head sentinel for almost three hundred years and captured and/or eliminated countless sith lords, acolytes, and dark jedi, what made you accept the position of guardian?" asked Windu.
"Well it was a very much needed change of pace and if I would have kept going I would have broken. There is only so much one could take and I had to face many friends that had fallen. Many of those friends I had to put down….. one person I had to hunt down was my second wife… So you can probably guess why I stepped down from being a sentinel altogether." Said Naruto creating a somber mood.
"Who was your Padawan Knight Uzumaki?" asked an elder member of the council trying to change the subject.
"Her name was Sira Agror. She was a young Arkanian that was a bit of a trouble maker."
"curious it is, that a master you are not, but your achievements and trials, outclassed everyone in this room they have. Why a master you have not been made?" Asked Yoda.
"Ah that….. well the previous councils and I never saw eye to eye on many problems and I guess you could say I was not suitable to be made a master. That and I didn't want it at the time so I dodged the council's summons many times."
"Well escape from it, no longer you can. Call the council to a vote I do, Make Knight Uzumaki a Jedi Master will we? All those in favor?" the whole of the present council approved. "As Grandmaster of the Jedi Order, dub the Master, I do."
"Well crap, I guess there was only so long I could run from in, though in my opinion almost four thousand years was a good run." Said Naruto with a slight smile, gaining a few chuckles from some of the council.
"One last question for you I have, if comfortable you are, entertain the younglings would you?" asked master Yoda with a smile.
"After I verify that the Library is still intact and operational, I would gladly entertain them. Though as you all know my ship is totaled and I am in need of a ride. Do any of you have any suggestions?" asked Naruto while sealing the holocons back up.
"Well Skywalker has a ship, and he has nothing better to do than to heal from his recent injuries. It sounds like a leisurely trip to the hidden library will be a good change of pace for him and his padawan. So there is your ride, but how long should this take you to do?" asked Mace Windu
"If everything goes according to plan? Maybe a few days to two weeks."
" Very well, may the force be with you Master Uzuzmaki."
"And with you." Said Naruto as he bowed and retrieved his staff. He then left to go to the temple library as he had some time to kill.
-End-
Well here it is, the first chapter. Finished on 25Jan21, Edited 24Apr21 and edited again 11Jul21 . Well next chapter here I come.
