3 CHAPTERS IN UNDER A WEEK OMG I'M GOING STUPID

Anyway, the creative juices kept flowing so here's another chapter :]

Uzumaki Naruto's life had been... awful, to say the least. He was kicked out of his orphanage, for no good reason, and had to live in the streets, until the Hokage found him and put him in a small apartment. The blond boy occasionally passed the orphanage in his strolls of the village, but it was staffed with different employees. He knew, or at least thought he knew, that the Hokage had something to do with it.

He tried walking into a store. The lady at the register greeted him with a warm smile, which fell when she saw who had walked in.

"Get outta here ya damn brat!" she shouted, clearly annoyed by his presence. Naruto, having gotten used to this, just sighed and walked out, disheartened.

He shook his head at the memory and looked up at the starry sky

Today was his birthday, to boot. He just wanted to buy something nice for his birthday, but he couldn't even get that. For years he had wondered why his life was like this. what had he done to deserve this, but just couldn't figure it out. The villagers were always mean and harsh to him, especially on his birthday. They didn't beat him or anything, but some people hated him even more, some throwing things at him occasionally. Why? About 6 years ago, the 9 Tailed Fox had attacked their village. It had destroyed a good chunk of the village, and killed a lot of people. And what does that have to do with a seemingly random 6-year-old? Well, the 4th Hokage, Namikaze Minato, had sacrificed his life to seal the beast into Naruto, saving the village. Some villagers hated Naruto because they couldn't see past what was sealed within him, and could only view him as a reincarnation of the fox

.

The boy grew to resent his birthday and hid in the forest. The forest always brought him a sense of calm and serenity, especially on this day. One of his favorite pastimes was stargazing, which is what he was doing at that moment. So, you can imagine his shock when he saw a star starting to descent into the forest he was currently in. He saw the flying metal object and Naruto, being the way-too-nosy-for-his-own-good boy that he was, went to investigate.

Mace felt oddly at peace, surrounded by the force.

His peace was short-lived, however, because he felt something... evil. Evil was the only way he could describe it... It tainted the force, and it felt suffocating. Oh, and it was headed right to him... rapidly. Mace drew his weapon, ready to ignite it at a moment's notice. The bushes in front of him rustled and out of them came... A blond boy... no older than 6...

Mace stared at him, his guard lowered the tiniest bit. Naruto looked at him curiously

"Hey mister, do you know anything about that thing behind you?" asked Naruto, innocently.

Mace kept his guard up, still looking at the boy in front of him apprehensively. Naruto stared up at him with an expectant look on his face

Reluctantly, Mace responded. "Yes, I do know about this ship. I landed it here"

"Ship? This doesn't look like a ship"

'Must be an underdeveloped planet' thought Mace, lowering his guard fully and sitting down at the base of a tree

"Go away, child"

"Nah, I'm gonna stay here"

"You will go back to your house, and leave me alone," said Mace, waving his hand slowly across the boy's face

"I... I will go back to my house, and leave you alone" With that, Naruto left and headed toward the village

Mace sighed as he watched the kid leave. Really, the similarities between him and Skywalker were uncanny. In character, that is. He used a pile of dirt as a pillow and drifted away to sleep.

Naruto awoke feeling rather confused. Last thing he remembered was talking to a creepy-looking dude in the forest. He was intrigued by him, mostly due to his non-automatic dismissal of the boy. and when he did dismiss him, it wasn't with malice or anything. He actually didn't know how he got back home. Now that he thought about it, the whole situation sounded like a dream. But it felt too real to be a dream. He decided to visit that spot again, just in case it was real. He got out of his bed, had a quick breakfast, put on a t-shirt with the Uzumaki spiral on the front and black shorts, and ran out

As he approached the place, he started wondering if anyone else had gone there. He slowly made his way to the small clearing he saw the... "Ship". After a good while of walking, he pushed through the same bushes he had last time and saw that the man was still there, around a campfire, eating what seemed like a rabbit. Naruto decided to sit opposite to him

Mace looked up, meeting the boy's gaze "Boy, I told you to leave me alone, did I not?

"Yeah but... you somehow feel... different. Most grown-ups l meet are mean to me... you weren't" said Naruto, looking down at his lap

"Really? And why are they mean to you?" Asked Mace, his brow furrowing

"Dunno. Must hate me for the pranks I pull. It's the only way they notice me really" Responded Naruto with a shrug

"Hm... I see..." Now that Mace got a good feel for the boy's force presence, he realized that he had two different force presences inside him, which piqued his curiosity. He decided that deeming a 6-year-old a threat wasn't the best idea.

"Hey mister, why don't you have a left hand?" Asked Naruto innocently

"You ask me such personal questions, without even telling me your name?" Said Mace, a hint of amusement in his voice. Naruto blushed and rushed to stammer out a reply.

"M-My name is Naruto Uzumaki, sir." Naruto looked up at Mace hesitantly, expecting the man to suddenly recognize him, and hate him like the rest of the villagers.

"It's nice to meet you Naruto, My name is Mace Windu" Responded Mace, the amusement was more apparent this time in his voice. "As for my hand... I lost it in a fight"

"A fight..." Naruto furrowed his brow, before lighting up in excitement. "Wait, are you a ninja?" he looked at Mace in awe

"Ninja... No, no I am not... Would you mind explaining to me what a ninja is, Naruto?"

"Y-You don't know what a ninja is?" Asked Naruto, dumbfounded

"No, no I do not"

Naruto gathered his thoughts before speaking "A ninja is this super cool fighter that uses this... uh... chakra... thing, to fight bad guys and serve their village. And then there's the Hokage, who's like the top boss of all the ninjas and is like, respected and loved by everyone. I'm gonna be Hokage one day, believe it!"

"I see..." Mace had started to gain a decent understanding of how this planet works. Clearly, they weren't an advanced civilization. Also, he figured this "Chakra" thing was some bastardized version of the force.

"Hey so, anyway mister, where are you from?"

a pause

"I come from the planet Coruscant."

"...Planet? S-So you're an Alien?" asked Naruto, with his eyes as wide as saucers

"...Yes, I am."

"Wow... that's so cool" Naruto looked up at Mace with awe. "so do you have like any super cool alien powers?"

"...Well..." He thought hard about what he should do next. In hindsight, he shouldn't, but he really had nothing to lose. The order had fallen, and maybe this could be a step in rebuilding it. "Let me ask you something Naruto... does this "Hokage" protect the entire village?"

Naruto thought about it for a moment and rapidly shook his head. "Yes, the 4th Hokage literally sacrificed his life protecting our village from the 9 Tailed Fox! I really want to be just like him y'know"

"What I'm about to tell you must be kept a secret, alright?" he asked. He knew that there was practically no chance that people from the empire would be here, but he didn't want to risk it

"Mhm, you can tell me."

"I am part, well, used to be a part of, an order of... some powerful people called the Jedi. We used to be peacekeepers, protecting the galaxy"

"Why are you not part of it anymore?"

"...Because most of us are dead. I thought I was dead for years, till I woke up recently." He hated to admit it but the boy was growing on him, rapidly. "I am willing to teach you the ways of the force," He said, lifting a nearby rabbit and hovering it in front of the boy. Naruto looked at Mace. Then at the rabbit. Then back at Mace with a beaming smile."

"Really? Thank you so much Old Man Windu!" He exclaimed

'I'm not that old...' thought Mace, sweat dropping. He cleared his throat "It's Master Windu, now"
