An Ambush and a Liberation

Hey guys, how's it going? This is one of my newer ideas that I've been sitting on for about five to six months now. (Date of start: December 28th of 2021.) So off the bat, I will warn you all that there will be quite a few OC alien women in the harem this time. There will be canon characters, but some will be a little OOC in this story. But there is a reason for this and a method to my madness. Stick around and you will see what I mean.

Here are the differences between canon Naruto and my Naruto in this story: Smart! Naruto, Force-sensitive! Naruto, Strong! Naruto.

Now, I should say that I'm going to be using a few alien species that are almost, if not, ever used because there is so little information about them. This being the Nautolan, Selonian, Sith pureblood, and Trandoshan. Hell there might be a possibility of a Jawa, I still don't know.

Now let's set the stage with a bit of timeline information. This story starts in between the Phantom Menace and clone wars. But it's also between the Chunin exams and the Sasuke retrieval mission. Also, Genins graduate at 16, Naruto and Hinata are 17. So by the time of the clone wars, Padmé won't be able to gripe about them being 'children'.

Also, I have a Discord server now. It was given to me by a friend of mine who left the server, but before doing so left it in my care. If you're interested, send me a request to join. Know that there is a blacklist, so if you are on it, you won't get an invitation.

So without further ado, let's start the chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own shit except for the OCs of this story. Everything else is owned by its parent company and respective creators

Normal speech: "Hello"

Thought: 'hello'

Bijuu speech: "Weaklings"

Translated alien speech: "Hello"

Droid translation: "Hello humans"

Intercom speech: "Hello"

Naruto was a little confused right now. Why you may ask? Because he along with his team are out on a joint C-rank mission with team Kurenai to the land of Tea. It is an escort for a merchant that came to Konoha for help. As there are reports of bandits and slavers near the road. The strange thing is, they found said bandits and slavers dead near the road. And all of the slaves were nowhere to be seen. 'Not to mention those strange scorch marks on their chests. Whatever did that sure does have a lot of power behind it.' Naruto thought to himself, as he felt that the ones responsible were still close.

Kakashi noticed Naruto's posture and how his eyes were going all over the place. He walked up to the blonde Jinchuuriki and kept in pace with him. "What's wrong Naruto? You're acting like we're going into an ambush." He asked his student in a worried tone. He had no worries about the bandits and slavers now, so what had Naruto on edge?

Naruto looked at his sensei. "Something doesn't feel right Kakashi-sensei. It's almost like everything is too perfect, especially given our track record." He said before seeing a glint from a bush. "Get down!" He yelled before grabbing Kakashi and diving to the ground, avoiding several darts aimed at them. The others dove as well, avoiding the darts aimed at them.

Kakashi was shocked that he hadn't sensed the attackers before they fired the darts. 'Whoever these people are, they are definitely professionals.' He thought to himself before springing up with a Kunai in his hand.

From the bushes, several strange men came out with scowls. "I told you that they wouldn't work, you moron!" One, presumably the leader, yelled at another one before slapping him upside the head.

The one who got slapped rubbed his head. "They are primitives boss. I thought that they wouldn't notice." he said before a Kunai entered his head, killing him instantly. The men watched their friend fall limply as Kurenai glared at them

Kurenai glared at the men with a lot of hatred in her eyes. "I don't know who you think you are, but you're going to pay for trying to capture us like that." She said while preparing a Genjutsu to put them to sleep. Only to have Kakashi shove her out of the way of a bolt of light that wized passed their heads.

Sasuke decided to send a Koton: Great Fireball Jutsu, right where the bolt came from. When it exploded on impact, screaming could be heard from the bushes and someone came running out while on fire. "Pathetic, couldn't even dodge a simple fireball." Sasuke said before dodging a net thrown at him from another bush.

The leaders of the Ambushing group groaned at seeing this. "Of course they are metas, it had to be metas. The Jedi are bad enough, now it's a planet of metas who control the elements. What's next, giant cockroaches that dance?" He ranted to himself with a dejected look on his face.

Naruto, who had gotten up and had to dodge a net, fired at him; noticed that Hinata didn't get up and that there was a dart in her arm. 'Shit, I need to help her!' He thought frantically before bolting over to where she was and had just grabbed her when a net landed on them. 'Shit!' he thought before the net shocked them both, knocking Naruto out.

It was then that a strange flying machine came from the sky and fired beams of light at the remaining shinobi. Stopping them from trying to rescue their knocked-out comrades as they dodged as best they could. "Get them to the drop ship and retreat! We'll just have to take what we got from those weaklings from yesterday!" The leader shouted to his men.

The strange men grabbed the net that held Naruto and Hinata, and began to drag it to another strange machine that had been hidden, and began to rise off the ground. The man dragging the next with the help of the rest threw it in the machine and jumped in with the door closing behind them.

The senseis and the remainder of the two teams could do nothing but watch helplessly as two of their own were taken. "We need to tell the Hokage what happened. Though she's going to be pissed that this happened at all." Kurenai said, secretly glad that they had the client stay back down the road.

It was when she said this, however, she saw that everyone was looking at her. They then all collectively shouted. "NOT IT!" Causing Kurenai to glare at them for throwing her under the wagon.

Kakashi held his hands up at her glare. "No offense Kurenai, but you're the one that is least likely for her to kill after she hears what happened. And none of us have death wishes." He said while taking a few steps back. It was then that they heard a groan. Looking over to where it came from, they saw that the people who ambushed them left one of their own behind. "But she will like that we have a way to find out where they might have gone." He said before going over and trying the man up.

The man finally came to after Kakashi finished tying him up. "Great, they left me to the metas to integrate. Hey mack, you speak Galactic basic?" He asked only to see Kakashi's confused face. "Guess not. If only…" he was about to say before his protocol Droid walked out of the bushes. "C6! Tell them I'm willing to tell them where and how they can find their people and that you come in peace!" He shouted quickly so they didn't destroy his only means to communicate with these people.

Both teams turned to see what looked like a metal man slowly walking towards them with its hand up in surrender. It has been in the bushes trying to find a language that was similar to the one these people spoke. It had finally found one that almost identically matched it when C6 came out of the bushes. "Greetings, I am C6-G8. I am what is known as a translator droid or a Protocol droid to others. My master wishes to inform you that he is willing to tell you where his, likely as of now, former business partners have taken your comrades. He also offers a possible way to contact those who would be able to get to the place they are being held." It explains while having Kunis pointed at it.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow at this. "Why would he sell out his group? Doesn't he have loyalty to them?" He asked in slight confusion. Not entirely trusting the so-called droid's words. He had been told many lies in his life before, today wasn't going to be the day he was a sucker.

C6 walked over to his master, and told him the question. That is, it did this after everyone lowered their weapons. When it got his answer, it relayed it to them. "Because 1: he wishes to go back to his family, especially his daughter. 2: They broke the deal they made to him to never leave him behind. And 3: They told him that his only job was to stand around and look tough. Not fight people like you who have extraordinary abilities like yours. So he rather not test his luck. Especially if one of the people taken were close to your leadership." the droid translated.

Both teams winced at this, causing the man and droid to look at each other in worry. Just who did those idiots take that was so important?

Hyperspace: aboard the ghondeoria

Naruto was the first to wake up. Immediately after he jumped up and checked his surroundings. The thing he immediately noticed was that he was in some kind of metal room. There was no door that he could see other than a doorway with what looked like a pulsing red glass window. It was then a voice spoke up. Though it was strange as it almost sounded like it was coming from a speaker. He turned around and saw something strange.

Sitting in the corner of the room, was a reptilian-looking girl that looked to be his age. She had a gray-scaled lizard-like snout and bright red eyes. There was what looked like a blue strip going along her face. Almost like she was wearing a blue-scaled mask across her eyes. Other interesting features he found were that she had only three fingers on each hand and three toes on each foot. All covered in the same gray scales. "I said, I wouldn't try that if I were you." She said before holding one clawed finger up when Naruto opened his mouth to say something.

She then pointed at the door. "Try going through that thing and it will fry you good. It won't kill you, but it will hurt like a bitch. The poor sap across the hall already tried. Flew a few feet back." She told him, slightly amused at the scene that happened not long ago. Given that said person was the informant of the planet this young man and the young woman behind him came from.

Naruto looked at the bench that the lizard-like girl was staring at, and saw Hinata laying on it. 'How the hell did I miss her there!?' He mentally scolded himself, before rushing to Hinata's side. He checked her over, making sure nothing was physically wrong with her besides being shocked and tranquilized. If there was one thing he was thankful for, it was having the best medic in the world as a godmother and Shadow Clones.

His hands started glowing a light blue hue as they got near her. 'It seems like it's just the tranq keeping her asleep. Though it seems pretty powerful.' Naruto summarized with a thoughtful look. She was wearing a gray shirt and light gray pants. Which was strange considering they didn't come here with such clothes on her. He was just glad Hinata was alright, at least, she was for now. "You said it fries anything that touched it right?" He asked the lizard-like girl, glancing over his shoulder. Getting a nod from her.

The Trandoshan saw a look in the young human's eyes that told her everything she needed to know. "I know what you're thinking, don't bother. They have a camera right there following our every move." She said while pointing out the camera watching them. "The only blind spot they have is underneath it, but there is nothing but space behind it." She told him while pointing at the lone window in their cell. Showing the vastness of space through it and the hyperspace lane.

Naruto looked out the window in amazement. Though his mood did sour a bit. As this ruined his current plans of escape. "Are they listening to us?" He asked her, wondering if there was a treasure room from all these slavers' catches. As it's common knowledge that slavers tend to keep something from their victims.

The Trandoshan shook her head. "No, they stopped listening to us before you woke up. We're currently on a transfer ship bound for a spice world. Though, before I say anything else, I have to say I'm impressed someone from an underdeveloped planet like you isn't freaking out right now. Even some of the most hardened warriors would be freaking out right now. It doesn't help that most don't respond well when an alien is standing or sitting near them." She said, amazed by how level-headed his young human was being.

Naruto shrugged at this. "You live in a ninja village full of oddities, you tend to become numb to stuff like this. Hell, we have a clan of people that can take over someone's mind and extract memories from them. That and a clan in a different country from mine that look like their ancestors fucked a bunch of sharks and had kids." He said before sitting under the camera. He looked down at himself and saw he had been changed into a gray set of clothes. Part of it was obviously linen, but the other part was something he couldn't identify. "By the way, what is your name? And what happened to my clothes?" He asked her with a confused look while looking at his new clothes which he realized were the same as Hinata's, just in his size.

The Trandoshan gave a flat look at the blonde. 'Of all things, those are his next two questions?' She mentally asked herself before shaking her head. "My name in my native language is hard for humans to pronounce. So you may call me Uzih. As for your clothes, the slavers switched them for standard ones slaves wear while you were put cold. They also put translators in both your ears so you can understand orders given to you. Doesn't work with reading though. You'd need cybernetics for that shit, and not many of those doctors exist anymore." The now named Uzih told him while keeping an eye on the camera watching them. She knew the signs to look for if the mics were turned back on.

Naruto nodded in understanding, he knew these people were no slouches. They knew he wouldn't understand them worth a shit. Not when his planet has never been visited by these people before now, at least, not that they know of. "Uzih, do you know where they store items of importance around here? You know, besides us." He asked while looking for anything outside to switch with outside the cell. That way, he could use the Transformation Jutsu to scout the ship's layout and steal their stashes and weapons.

Uzih shrugged at his question. "Scorekeeper knows where that is. From what I know, they keep everything that they find on us in stashes all over the ship. Usually in loose floor panels or boxes in the engine room. But there are occasionally those few ships that keep it all in one room. But that's if it's a ship belonging to the seven. The faces behind the huts in the slave industry. Why do you ask?" She told him while wondering why he would ask her this.

Naruto found what he was looking for. A small rock next to the side of the cell door across the hall. He quickly made a Shadow Clone that then transformed into a fly and said fly switched with the rock. Which Naruto pocketed quickly. "That's why. My people have the ability to do many things thought impossible to others. I just happen to be able to make lots of clones of myself. The transformation thing is common among us. Even the lowest shinobi can do it easily. And I'm about to use them to rob these sick fucks blind." He reveals while watching his clone fly off.

Uzih was both shocked and impressed. She didn't expect a human to have such traits if this man even was human. 'He would be great friends with Nifty, of that I'm positive.' She thought to herself. She knew now that this might be her chance. Her chance to reclaim her honor, her chance to redeem herself in the eyes of the Scorekeeper, and her chance to redeem herself in the eyes of her father. And a chance, to avenge her clan who was slaughtered by that cursed traitor.

All they needed to do, was wait.

Coruscant: in the Jedi Temple: Master Yoda's meditation chamber

Yoda was meditating, hoping for a vision of the near future and to learn the identity of the Sith lord that he knew was out there. Plotting to destroy both the Jedi and the Republic. 'Hard to see through the veil of the dark side, it is. Years it has been, since a clear vision, I've had.' The nearly century-old Groglyn thought to himself. Just as he was about to take a break, there was a massive burst in the force. Practically shattering the veil of the dark side. With only a small part of it remaining.

Visions begin.

But it was more than enough. Suddenly, visions of men in white armor were marching before his eye. He saw Jedi leading these men like in the days of old during the sith wars. He also saw a man and a woman dressed in black armor, with the man wearing a mask similar to that of Reven. They were looking over a tower in a city with rain in the background. A city that has been lost to the ages by the looks of it. Then it changed to a room where two people were dueling with lightsabers. One holding a blazing orange blade, and the other had a bright red blade.

It changed again before Yoda could see either's faces. He was in a hut that had sand for a floor. Inside this hut was Anakin Skywalker and his, currently very mortally wounded, mother Shmi Skywalker. He watched as Shmi died and Anakin stormed out of the but. Attacking and killing any Tusken raiders he saw. 'Fall to the dark side, young Skywalker will. If left on Tatooine, his mother is.' Yoda thought to himself. Making a mental note to have Shmi taken from the desert planet. It was then that the world around him changed one last time. He was in space looking over a planet. One he remembers from studying in his youth.

The dark planet of Dromund Kaas. Home of the original of the old sith empire and dark side nexus of the inner core. Before him stood two figures. One a male Zabrak with red skin in Jedi robes, the other, a female Chiss. Both wore dark armor and had lightsabers on their hips.

The man of the two spoke first. "Two slaves shall rise from this world. They shall show the greater galaxy the true power of the Sith. But shall also help the Jedi in their time of need." He said while waving his arm at Dromund Kaas.

The woman spoke next. "With them, the people we have wronged will be revived. The ones with skin as red as blood, innocent in their own right. Manipulated by the sith of old, and names stolen. Among the two, the Sithari stands true. Chosen by the brother as the sister chose her champion." She said, her red eyes looking at the Groglyn.

The man then pointed at Yoda."Your job, Grandmaster of the Jedi, is to make sure the future stays like this. Those who call themselves Sith are no more Sith than they are a fallen Jedi and a well-trained child in an old man's body. The time has come for both sides to come together again to fight a common enemy. A plot to destroy the balance of the force has been devised for a thousand years, the time to begin that plan is soon, and only the two chosen can stop it." The man said before he and the woman took hold of their lightsabers before igniting them. The man's blade was red as blood; while the woman's was as yellow as the sun with a green outline. They slammed their blades together causing a blinding light, forcing Yoda to shut and cover his eyes.

Visions end

Yoda opened his eyes and saw he was in his meditation chamber again. 'Clearer, the vision could not be. Coming it is, for the time when Jedi and Sith to work together. To the council, I must go.' Yoda thought to himself while walking toward the door. Just as it opens, he saw the out-of-breath leader of clan Clawmouse. "Know already, I do. A pulse in the Force, greater than any before it, it was. Something big, coming it is." Yoda said to the Besalisk master. Not wanting to worry him at this current time. After all, he has met the current residents of clan Clawmouse. All of they were very… spirited, shall we say.

The Besalisk man looked down at the Grandmaster with a worried look. "It's not that master. When that pulse in the Force happened and shattered the dark side veil; many of the meditating younglings started having visions. Even your nephew and he can't even speak yet!" He told Yoda with urgency in his voice. "The ones I worry about the most are two younglings in particular though. Barriss and Ahsoka, they were still in their visions when I rushed here." He said while keeping an eye on his communicator.

This caught Yoda's attention. "Then go to them, we must. Hear what they are seeing, we should. The Force, showing them something important, it may be." He said before heading to the Clawmouse training ground, the council could wait. Long visions meant something big was going to happen in the youngling's life. And by extension, the lives of many Jedi in the order. Hundreds of years of experience has shown him this time and time again.

Little did the two Jedi know, was that the two they were going to were just two of many who were having long visions across the galaxy.

Above Planet orbit: Dromund Kaas: on board the ghondeoria

Naruto jolted up as his clone returned and swapped back with the small rock. Handing him a scroll that he promptly sealed into a seal on his arm on instinct. 'Thank Kami for silent and smokeless swapping.' He thought to himself before thinking about what he just seen when he blacked out. Letting the clone dispel before the guard comes by.

Uzih didn't show it, but she was shocked that Naruto could store things like that. 'To be able to store things like that on a whim. He could supply a whole army with that and no one would know he did it. He's a smuggler's dream mule.' She thought to herself while watching the camera. The light on it just came on, letting them know they were being listened to by those pigs.

Just then, the intercom came on. "I hope you all had a good trip." Said a female voice sweetly. "We have arrived at our destination. The old relic of an ancient empire from long ago. Now, it is a hidden gem that we mine spice from. More specifically, where you'll mine spice from for us. Though that isn't the job of everyone here. Some of you bruts on here will be a gladiator for our enjoyment. Hehehe, not that any of those ones can hear me right now. Also, If I find the mother kriffing bastard that stole my stash, your ass is mine!" Shouted the woman on the intercoms before everything went silent aside from the chuckles of the guards in the hall. Even a couple of the slaves could be heard laughing from random places up and down the hall.

Naruto had a proud smile on his face while Uzih gave a Trandoshan version of a smile and let out a giggle. "I almost feel sorry for that sith spit of a woman. I wonder who could have done that?" She asked, her smile turning coy while discreetly looking at Naruto.

Naruto moved over to sit next to Hinata, maneuvering her so that her head lay on his lap. "I have no clue. Maybe one of the crew got A little greedy? You know what they say about honor among thieves." He said while keeping an eye on the camera. Watching as the light on it turned off. Stroking Hinata's hair lightly as he did so.

Uzih also saw this and turned back to face to door, keeping an eye out for any guards that would come for them. "What were you able to get?" She asked quietly, not wanting passing guards to hear their conversation.

Naruto kept his eyes on the camera while speaking softly so only Uzih could hear him. "Lots of things. Mostly weapons and those canisters the guards carry on them. It was extremely hard to do that. As they have practically the entire ship monitored. But I was able to find the stashes of a few crew members. The captain's being the fullest. She had a whole bunch of things stuffed in there. Mostly old-looking weapons and strange totems made of bones. The weirdest though was an old cylinder that looked like it belonged to a sword or something. Old too, like it hasn't been used in years but has been restored recently." He told her, looking to see if she recognized such a description. Judging by her widening eyes though, it seems she most certainly did.

She glanced at the camera and the door before looking Naruto dead in the eyes. "How many of those were in there?" She asked him seriously. Struggling to keep her voice low to not alert the guards. Noting that they were entering the planet's atmosphere.

Naruto leaned back, keeping his eyes on the door. "Three of them. One was definitely brand new to the collection. Another looked like it had been there for at least five years, judging by the dust on it. But the last one, it was old, like, really really really old. Older than this ship even. It felt dark as well for some reason, and when my clone pushed a button on it, a red beam of light came out." He told her, hoping to know why she asked and what she knew about these things.

Uzih's eyes widened at this, as there were many stories told to her as a foundling about warriors with red lightsabers. "You're right, it is old. Stories have been told to foundlings of my village about warriors of old who wield great power and who used these red blades. They are called lightsabers, tools of the Jedi, and these warriors who fought them. Their battle lasted many generations, causing many worlds to become broken or destroyed. One even had the power to take a life without even drawing his blade or raising his hand. They were said to have been wiped out eons ago. But remnants of them can still be found around the galaxy." She told him, remembering the times her parents told her these stories.

Naruto was shocked at this. He never expected such warriors existing before. "What are Jedi? I heard you mention them a couple of times, and I heard the leader of the men who took us mention them too. But don't know I don't know who they are." He asked her, wondering what or who these Jedi are.

Before Uzih could respond, the ship shook violently as if it hit something. She also noticed that the light on the camera came on. "Watch where you're flying, you blue milk for brains twat! My dead grandma could fly the fucking thing better than you!" She yelled at the camera while shaking her fist. The ship shook again, this time throwing her, Naruto, and a waking Hinata off the bench. This caused quite the awkward situation. Naruto maneuvered it so he took the brunt of the blow against the wall. This led to Uzih falling onto him at an angle that made it to where his face was buried in her budding chest. Which was slightly large for her age and species before breeding.

Which, if she were honest, was she cursed her genetics for. Given that in her village's culture, that meant that she was destined to mother strong children. Which caused males of said village to go nuts, fighting tooth and nail for her claw in marriage. Of course, this situation also brought another problem. One that brought up old laws of her people set forth by the Scorekeeper. 'Oh, kriffing hell! I suppose I could do worse, but did it have to be a Human?' She asked herself with slight frustration.

As for Hinata, she crashed into Naruto's stomach. Which led to her waking up facing his crotch when she fully landed. "Ugh, what happened?" She asked, not daring to open her eyes.

Uzih and a blushing Naruto moved quickly. Uzih got up quickly, and Naruto helped Hinata sit up before she opened her eyes and saw her position. Which Naruto knew would cause her to faint. "Easy Hinata. You're just waking up from being heavily sedated" he told her. While keeping an eye on the door. "And be sure to keep your voice down. The pricks that took us have ears everywhere." He told her before the lights went off. Unfortunately, the door shield stayed on.

It was at this time Hinata opened her eyes, showing her pearl-like eyes. "Naruto-Kun, where are we?" She asked while looking around, trying to get her bearings. The last thing she remembered was them getting ambushed and a slight prick to her neck before blacking out. She looked to her left and saw Uzih next to Naruto in all her Trandoshan glory. "And who is this?" She asked while shying away from the Trandoshan and moving to Naruto's right side quickly.

Naruto turned and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "It's alright Hinata, she's just as much a victim of these bastards as we are. As for where we are at, we are currently on a ship that can fly to different planets somehow." Just as he said this, two people entered the doorway.

The first was a grizzled older man that wore what looked like an armored trench coat, armor plating on his chest, black armored pants, and worn-out combat boots. What was strange about him was that he had green scaly skin and reptilian eyes.

The other wore what looked like a black cloak that covered her body almost completely. The only indicators she was female were her feminine body shape and her high voice. Though, as Uzih recognized, that didn't say much as this woman was a Kubaz. Who were notorious for having high-pitched voices, no matter their gender. "Hmm, No worse for wear. And the door shield is still up, good. Lieutenant, go see what the engineers believe caused the lights to go out and have them fix it. While I go the see WHAT THOSE FOOLS ARE DOING TO MY SHIP! I swear, why Lady K'sos hires these kriffing idiotic Bantha brains they call Corellians I have no idea. She knows Kubaz crews are much better." She told the scaled man before stomping off. Ready to tear open a dumbass or three.

The Lieutenant saluted at this order. "At once captain Voksu." He shouted, bolting for the engine room. Intent to not earn his captain's wrath. He remembered what happened to the last crew members who made his captain late for a delivery. They were still scraping what remains of the old engineering team off the floor of the catwalk near the hyperdrive.

The three in the cell watched as their captors left in different directions. Naruto, using the ship-wide blackout to his advantage as the cameras were down, used his shadow clones again to swap with the rock to get more stashes and do recon on what was happening.

Little did Naruto know, two powerful beings would be following him planet side. Two powerful beings were on the thing they had hit.

Ship: Fury class interceptor, Name: Night Fury

The inside of the ship was quiet. As it had been for more than almost four thousand years now. But the sudden jolt to the ship and the sound of scraping metal awoke old spirits that lingered on this ship. The first to awaken had the appearance of a cyborg woman. She had dark skin and even darker hair, and her eyes looked like they had been replaced with cybernetics. She wore a red robe that had a hood. "Ugh, stupid slave ships, I swear that is the fifth time this week that some fool scrapped against my ship. I'm almost tempted to open the cryopods to let myself and the others out." The woman said with irritation heavy in her voice, which had a thick Imperial accent. This was Alliana Facpola, a.k.s Darth Nox. Last surviving member of the dark council.

Another being appeared in front of her. A male Zabrak with blood-red skin and no hair, showing off his sharp horns and tribal tattoos. "It's your own fault for putting this thing into orbit. Just because one of the founders of our order did it, doesn't mean we should have." He told her, having the same accent as his cyborg companion. This was Gakroxu Qatra, also known as the emperor's wrath. "The veil those fakes put in place over the greater force has been lifted. It seems the siblings finally decided to do something about the fools who call themselves Sith. About damn time too if you ask me." He said before noticing a familiar presence inside the slave ship.

Multiple actually, how could he not, they were similar to him and his dysfunctional family. "Hmm, it seems like our descendants made it to the modern era. Though their presence in the cargo hold of the slave ship is concerning." He said before looking over his shoulder, looking at a blue Twi'lek woman in a cryopod. "Especially the fact mine and Vette's granddaughter is in there." He then turned back to Alliana. "Maybe it is time we woke everyone up. With Vallcorian long dead and no more Sith to call us out, many would know nothing about our existence. That is, assuming they don't still have that blasted alarm system warning people about your ship." He said with a slight smirk. Getting a smile and an annoyed huff out of the cyborg woman.

Alliana sent a playful glare at the Zabrak. "Hahaha, so very funny. I don't want to hear it from the man who had an alarm on Nar Shaddaa that told the Hutts to hide their prettiest slaves. Less they wanted pregnant dancers." She said with a mocking grin. That was one thing she would never let Gakro live down. He and his Twi'lek wife Veet were such sex maniacs that they wound up with multiple kids. It got to the point Vette needed help from others to keep him satisfied. Namely from Jaesa and the occasional dancer when said woman wasn't around. Though this led to problems with the Hutts, as he accidentally got a few pregnant. She still questioned how he got a Lasat of all things pregnant.

Gakro deadpanned at this before pointing his thumb at an old book that said 'Tails of a Horny Sith: by Concordia Nixs' on the cover. It is also showing a person that looked very similar to a certain cyborg on said cover.

Before Alliana could retort, the felt the ship jolt a bit. Like they had just been magnalocked to the slaver's ship. "Hmm, seems like they are sick of scraping against the ship and are taking us planet side. Good, saves us the time and trouble of getting this old thing running again to get down there. Now all we need to do is revive ourselves." She said confidently before using the force to begin the dethaw sequence. "Thank the force for cryo-sickness medicine." She said before disappearing.

Gakro rolled his eyes before doing the same. 'Just once I'd like to see a glimpse of the old Nox. But I guess that won't happen until something or someone major comes into her life. Maybe I'll tell her about how one of her descendants are on the ship.' He thought to himself with a sly smirk before disappearing himself. Both force spirits going back to their own bodies.

On the bridge of the Ghondeoria: five minutes earlier.

Vokus was not a happy Kubaz. First, she finds out her entire stash had been stolen. Then, just as she fell asleep, the dip shits that were trusted to fly hit the old Fury class ship that has been orbiting the planet her boss has been using for years. But worst of all, they DISTURBED HER FUCKING SLEEP! Her schedule only allows her two hours of sleep a day. AND NOW THAT IS RUINED BECAUSE THESE FUCKING CORELLIANS CAN'T FLY FOR TWO MINUTES WITHOUT CRASHING INTO SOMETHING! "You LOT BETTER HAVE A GOOD FUCKING REASON FOR INTERRUPTING MY SLEEP AND CRASHING MY SHIP INTO SOMETHING! OTHERWISE, YOU'RE GOING OUT THE FUCKING AIRLOCK!" She yelled as she entered the bridge.

A Corellian man with blond hair and green eyes stood up quickly. "Ma'am! The old fury class that has been circling the planet for years slammed into us. The second jolt that killed most of the power was from the old turrets on the ship firing an Ion burst as a defensive mechanism. Power should be restored soon and we will still be on time for delivery. But any delay will be caused by the engineering team if one happens. I've even given the order to magnalock the old thing so it never happens again." He told his captain with a shaky nervous voice. Praying to whoever would listen that he would survive the Kubaz woman's wrath. Luckily for him, and everyone else on board, this news greatly lessened her fury.

Though he still prepared for her wrath about the interruption of his captain's sleep. There was no escaping that mess. He already had the med bay prep the Kolto tanks ready for the aftermath, as well as biotics ready to replace severed or crushed limbs. Something he very much anticipated given who and WHAT was staring down at him.

Vokus stood there for a moment, thinking about the status she was just given before nodding in approval. "Good, I like that you choose to prevent the problem from ever accruing from now on. So instead of killing you or throwing you in with the slaves, I'll simply maim you for disturbing my sleep" she said in a sickly sweet voice with rage burning in her red eyes.

What proceeded could only be described as a one-sided ass-beating. As Vokus grabbed the blonde Corellian by the head and flipped him over her shoulder and through the blast doors. Next, she grabbed one of the other Corellians, a dark-skinned man with black hair and brown eyes in an old republic-era cadet uniform; by his neck, and slammed him onto the floor behind her. She finished of his punishment by stomping her foot onto his leg, breaking it in two, and shattering his knee for good measure.

She then went up to the last one, who was technically considered a Corellian as he was born on said planet. In front of her was a shaking green Roadian wearing a typical spacer outfit. "Oh, don't worry, I've got something special for you." She said before bringing out an object out of her cloak. It was a lightsaber hilt with two openings on either side. It was a complex design that showed what looked like murals of past events on it. She loved collecting old lightsabers, it was a little hobby of her's to find and fix the weapons of the old orders. Well, as little as a Kubaz hobby can be. (Which is NOT small)

When the blade ignited, it showed a bright purple blade and made a hissing sound. Vokus then spun the lightsaber around before slashing through the Roadian's legs in a spin motion. Sweeping her legs as she did so, kicking the disembodied legs out from underneath. Shutting off the blade before it could cut to poor Roadian any further. She then spent the next five minutes beating him with his own leg. "Let this be a lesson. Don't wake me up during my sleep schedule." She told them with a huff, before throwing the body out and walking to the Pilot's chair and sitting down. Keeping an eye on power levels, waiting for the engineers to finish what repairs needed to be done because of the Ion shoot.

Little did she know, there was a fly on the wall that saw everything. The fly was a Naruto clone that transformed itself into a fly to keep an eye on her. It had already relayed the information about the Kubaz's lightsaber to the original. Hopefully, the escape he had planned would go well.

Flying out of the room, the clone continues down the hall and flies into the holding cells. Though before it gets to the original, it sees something strange in one of the cells.

In the cell is a woman with red skin and black tribal-looking tattoos on her body. Mainly her arms, legs, neck, and, from what little he could see of it, her face. She had on the same outfit he was wearing, but what was different was the large helmet that was strapped to her head and her arms being shackled to the wall. Which explained why the door to said cell was open.

Another person caught the attention of the clone. This one also chained to the wall of the cell across the hall from Naruto. But the difference was the fact that the door was up and had offline turrets in front of it. Inside was another woman who was meditating on the bench. She had blueish-white skin and had what looked like tendrils or tentacles for hair. She also wore the same slave clothes as everyone else in the cell block. Though she was definitely one of the more shapelier of the women he had seen in the cell block. Being as she had much larger breasts and hips than the others. Even the one across from her.

She then opened her eyes, which almost looked like void black pools, and looked directly at him. "How interesting, what looks like a fly, but has the song of the force to it. Maybe you are the one from my vision just now young one?" She asked quietly enough for only the clone and the woman across the hall to hear her. Knowing that the captain was in the bridge close by.

This got a shocked look from the clone, not that it was visible with it's currently transformed face; and a jolt from the woman in the open cell. "The fuck? What's happening out there Jedi? You know I can't see shit with this cursed thing on my head." The women in the open cell asked, careful not to get Vokus's attention. Something none of them wanted at this point.

The Jedi smiled at the fly before her door. "I do believe our savior will come from this cell block, my dear bounty hunter. I sense a great deal of power in the force a few doors down. One that seems to be able to split into many parts. One that sits before us with curiosity." She said before the clone fly back to the original quickly. Causing her to let out a giggle. "Though I should tell you, you and I will wind up with the same man in the future. as hard as such a statement may be coming from a Jedi padawan to believe." She told the red-skinned bounty hunter. Getting a dropped jaw from said woman.

Clones from all over the ship converged in a hallway not far from the original. They all sealed scrolls full of what they found from around the ship into one scroll and gave it to the original clone before dispersing a few at a time. Sending the memories back to the original. While the last clone took the scroll to the original Naruto.

With the original, he had just finished learning who and what the Jedi were with Hinata from Uzih when he got the memories of the clones. "Seems my clones finished scouting and found more of these guys' loot. I swear these fucks hid these things in the weirdest of places. I found a stash inside a water-resistant, airtight bag. That was inside a massive toilet tank." Naruto said, getting cringes from the girls. That was disgusting. Who the hell hides valuable objects and weapons inside a toilet? Though, when you think about it, that's probably was the thought process of those who want to steal it.

Just then, the last clone switched with the pebble and transformed back into human form, and unsealed the scroll with the latest haul. It then dispersed to allow Naruto to learn what it had seen and heard, causing him to gasp.

This didn't sit well with the girls. While Uzih might not have known Naruto long, she knew enough that she could tell something happened between the clones popping and the last clone getting here that shocked Naruto. "What is it Naruto?" She asked the stunned blonde human.

Naruto slowly looked at the girls, slightly pale from his shock. "My clone that just came back saw a Jedi in one of the cells near here. Not only that, but she knew about my clones going around the ship somehow." He told them, getting shocked gasps from them and wide eyes from both. It was nearly impossible for those outside the Elemental Nations to know the difference between a normal animal and Naruto's transformed clones. Even Uzih couldn't tell the difference without knowing it, and she became an expert on the subject of off-world animals.

Before anything could be said, the lights came back on and the camera turned back on. "Hello, again slaves. As most of you noticed, we had some technical difficulties due to the dumbasses flying us into an old ship floating in the planet's outer orbit. This problem has been fixed as of just now. Though because of this, we must drag the old ship to a new location we recently discovered. Luckily for you, they need new slaves over there for excavation more than the mine." Vokus said over the loudspeaker. "Then again, it's not like it makes much difference. Instead of spice, you're digging up old ships and parts. The Jawas on here might even give you some tips if you're lucky. Hahahahaha!" She said before bursting out in laughter, showing her cruelty and turning off the mic.

Naruto scowled at the camera for a moment. 'Of all the unfortunate timing. But at least the dust from this spice they mentioned earlier won't be messing with my senses.' He thought to himself while keeping an eye on the porthole window. Uzih had told him what Spice was, a highly addictive drug that was very illegal in the republic. One that messed with the senses of many species across the galaxy. Something Naruto wanted nothing apart of, given his heightened sense of smell.

As the ship exited the planet's orbit, they were able to see the dense jungle below. Trees lined the rolling expanse of mountains and hills in green foliage. The exception being some old towers that stuck out through the trees. "A Wookiee would be very at home here." Uzih said while listening to the rest of the crew rushing around outside the cell. "They are about to start moving slaves to the ramp exit for the ship. When that happens, they will be putting slave collars on us soon." She told them before seeing something. A large pyramid in the middle of the jungle near what looks like a dilapidated city off in the distance.

Before she could question it, they heard the door shut down and footsteps approaching. Turning around, they saw armed men standing in front of the door. Each one with their weapons aimed at them. "Time to move, slaves." Said a large hulking alien with red skin and big black horns on his head, which lacked hair completely. He was pointing a pistol at Hinata's head and had the most lecturus grin they had ever seen.

One of the guards must have seen this as they bashed him over the head with their blaster rifle. "Eyes off the merchandise, Tor. Boss said these are the VIP catches, so keep those red hands to yourself. Besides that they are still young, the boss doesn't tolerate that shit around here." Said an alien with a large physique and purple skin. It's voice sounding like it was between a fan spinning on high and then.

Another nodded as he lead Naruto, Hinata, and Uzhi out of the cell. "Yeah, last one that tried was torn apart by the captain. We're still finding pieces of him around the ship to this day." He said while pointing to a half rotten eye that was sitting in the hallway to emphasize his point. This one being a Rhodian with purple scales. He was putting cuffs on each of them as they came out.

Naruto was listening to the conversation, one which told him a lot more about Captain Vokus. "At least she keeps dumb cradle robbers in check. I'll give that phyco that." He said with a smile, causing the others there to burst out laughing. Naruto then channeled chakra to the back of his head and to his feet, anticipating a punch to the back of his head from Tor.

Sure enough that punch came. But instead of it hurting like he would expect from someone Tor's size, they heard the sound of bones breaking on contact with his head. Followed by a loud cry of pain from said alien. "Oh for fuck sake." He said in exasperation, looking back to see the devaronian on the floor clutching his fingers. Which were somehow broken in the same way they would be in a cartoon.

The Rhodian just shook his head. "For once, I'm with the slave. For fuck sake man, are you that pathetic that you broke your fingers on his head? Tesra, take this fool to the med bay while we get these slaves through check in. Don't want the captain to bisect us like those poor idiots that woke her up. We can handle a couple kids from a primitive planet and a lizard princess." He told the large purple alien, who nodded and grabbed the Deveronian from the ground and walked away.

Of the six that came to get them, only four remained. What no one knew, was that Naruto had disguised clones adding bomb seals to some things that seemed important. Nothing major that would blow up the ship, but cripple the ship and prevent it from a quick take-off In case something like what he was planning happened. At least, he hoped that's what would happen. Not like they could take out a couple hundred clones of him anyway, if that red alien was any indication. That or that guy was a glass cannon with a glass hand.

They passed several cells, though they had to wait because of a "special slave" as the Rhodian called it. "Hey slave, you said Tor would be a cradle robber instead of calling him a pedophile where your from. When does your planet consider their children to have become adults?" He asked Naruto while keeping his hand on his blaster pistol in case he tried something.

Uzhi nodded at this. "That's a question I was going to ask. I know you mentioned some things about your home, but that bit of information threw me through a loop." She asked with confusion, and a raised 'eyebrow'? (I honestly don't know if they have them.)

Naruto shrugged at this, figuring it wouldn't hurt to answer. "It's really dependent on what you want to do in life and where you live. If you want to be a Shinobi of a hidden village like me, it's after you get your headband for graduating the academy. The earliest that happens is usually at 13 to 14 years old, but there are a few exceptions in the past. Otherwise it's after your 17th birthday. The main reason for this is because my world is what you call a warrior world. Case in point, we've had three wars within the past hundred years because someone wasn't happy with the status quo, or they feared a clan. That last one leading to the third war because three villages were scared of a clan on an island. Though, given said clan took out literally three fourths of the invading forces of three villages, I guess they should have been afraid." Naruto explained with a wicked smile that unnerved many of the aliens there. "And before you ask, there were 258 people in that clan, versus 10,000 strong from each village." He said, scaring the literal shit out of some of the ones listening who did the math.

This made everyone that wasn't from the EN or a slave waiting listening to think at the same time. 'What the fuck were the bosses thinking bringing such monsters here!? Even Fleshraiders aren't that bad!' were the mental screams of fear, anguish, and woe. Some tears were even shedd by some and Wills were pulled out to be updated just in case.

Uzhi herself was shocked at the power such a clan could have. Such a clan was right to be feared in her opinion. One doesn't kill thousands of people while going down fighting and not be respected and feared by others. 'Ok, it definitely won't be bad carrying out my clan's old tradition when it comes to those who save you like he is, Thank the Scorekeeper.' she thought to herself. She could guess who the clan was that he was talking about, given the not so well hidden pride in his voice. The pride of someone who knew where they came from and who they descended from. And given he was kept with her, that means he was a prince of said island at the most; and the son of one of its great warriors at the least.

Soon, the reason for the hold up was made clear. As a floating gurnee was brought from the cell in front of them. On it was a deep brown alien with a broad head and massive body. It woar tribal clothing and crude armor with markings on it. Though one thing Naruto noticed, and doubted the slavers noticed given no one opted to grab it, was a hidden compartment with a lightsaber inside it. He could tell because of the part that the blade came out of was facing him. He stopped looking at it so that when the big bruiser woke up, it had something to defend itself with.

Lucky for him, no one else saw it and they began following after the aliens that were pushing the gurnee. Though he knew that eventually someone would get lazy and have them push the massive alien. Slavers were always lazy, couscous as hell and Paranoid as fuck, but lazy all the same. He knew this because of a couple D-rank missions he went on solo after wave country to guard some prisoners while the warden went to a meeting. Even in prison the bastards tried enslaving their fellow prisoners to do their work for them. Easiest 1,250 ryo he ever earned after a few well placed senbon needles in unfortunate places. This memory caused an evil fox-like smile to spread across Naruto's face.

This smile unnerved some of the crew. Especially those who are still thinking about the clan Naruto mentioned earlier. The most unnerved of them all were the ones closest to them. 'We should have just let the bastard Tor lay there while Tesra stayed with us!' Were the thoughts of the poor bastards closest to Naruto. Praying to whoever would listen that nothing would go wrong.

Unfortunately those prayers fell on deaf ears. As they say, Karma is a bitch sometimes.

Little did anyone know, not even the real Naruto, many of the clones had flown out of the ship to find something else to sabotage that would help the original. The one thing they found that would truly cripple the slavers, the control station for the obedience collars. So that no matter how many times they pressed their little red buttons, nothing would happen. The clones still on the ship were unknowingly doing the same.

Soon they exited the ship and had to wait out the line that was in front of them. Apparently it seems being VIP means you're the last one to be collared. Though for Naruto this just means it gave a few more moments to prepare. Once they were close to the end of the line, he would spring his trap. But just as he was about to relax, everything changed.

The captain was walking up to them with obedience collars in her hands. "Well, well, well, look what we have here. The slaves of the VIP cells." She said while looking at those who were at the back of the check in line. That being Naruto's group, the bounty hunter, the massive alien who was just starting to awaken, the Jedi, and finally, a tall female alien that was very thin but yet had a full figure. She was covered from head to toe in light brown short fur and had a face similar to that of a mink or a ferret. "You six were hunted down for several reasons, be it for being extraordinarily rare," she said while looking at the tall female alien. "Wanted for entertainment as a gladiator in the pits," this time she was looking at the tall beast of an alien. "Or something you did pissed off some political figure or another, and they found us." She finished while looking at the Jedi, bounty hunter, and Naruto's group.

Naruto frowned at this, but still decided to add his own quip. "You will have to be a bit more specific there captain. Mines got three sides to it, though my guess would have to be our elder council. Old bastards have had it out for me for years." He said while using a mocking tone, getting a snort from the bounty hunter and weasel like alien.

Vokus wasn't happy with his tone and walked right up to him with fire in her compound eyes. "Oh, and why would that be?" She asked while getting ready to snap the collar on his neck to teach him a lesson. No one would mock her and get away with it.

Naruto made a ram seal with his fingers and smiled. "Because I was the most unpredictable thorn in their sides that there ever was. Katsu!" Naruto shouted before chaos erupted all around them.

Boom! Boom!

Explosions erupted from the control station and ship! Vokus whirled around to see parts of her ship in flames! Only to be kicked in the ass by Naruto, who had swiped the keys to the cuffs around his wrists. He then quickly got them off and unsealed two Kuni and threw them at the restraints holding the large brown alien. This act made everyone immediately stop what they were doing, even the slaves who had already been there and began fighting their keepers after the explosions stopped.

The massive alien fell to the ground after rolling off the gurnee. Mumbling something unheard before slowly rising. It got to a kneeling position before holding out its arm. The lightsaber Naruto noticed earlier flying out of its compartment and into it's massive hand before igniting in a bright purple blade with a snap hiss. It lifted it's massive head and looked at Naruto. "You have thanks human. You free Grim, so you may help Grim kill big nose and followers." It said before leaping after Vokus, who had recovered and ignited her own lightsaber. This shocked nearly everyone as fleshraiders had never been able to speak before, and especially no in galactic basic.

Naruto knew only one thing, he might have been brought here because of an ambush, but he'd be damned if he didn't leave here without beginning a liberation.

Holy SHIT that took way too fucking long to finish. This has been almost a year in the making because of me not knowing where to go with this chapter. But now it is finished. Ok, so there will be quite a few elements from Star Wars the Old Republic online in this story. As well as characters from the game brought to the present. So things will twist quite a bit when the clone wars happen.

Also want to say Merry Christmas and happy holidays to those reading. Hopefully I'll be able to get some more of the eight projects I've been working on over the year for you all to read over Christmas time. As that is my present to you all this Christmas. Thanks for reading and I'll catch you all in the next one.
