The Namikaze Jedi

Chapter 1: Meeting an Ancestor

6 year old Uzumaki Naruto was running for his life through the back forest of Konoha. This, in itself, was not unusual; in fact, it happened about three times a year. But this time, the ANBU who usually watched over him were on missions, leaving him pretty much defenseless.

It was his birthday, and the celebration of the defeat of the Kyuubi, and the anniversary of the death of the Yondaime Hokage.

6 years ago, the Kyuubi attacked the village for unknown reasons. In a desperation move, the Yondaime called upon the Shinigami, and sealed the demon into an orphan boy, Naruto, at the cost of his life. With his dying breath, he told his friend and mentor, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage, to view the child as a hero.

Only a few did.

The rest…didn't.

Instead, most of the village views him as the Kyuubi reborn in human form, and see him as a monster.

Naruto ran for his life from the mob of drunk, angry and stupid villagers as well as shinobi, intent on ending his young life.

He looked back, eyes alight with fear, completely missing the hole that opened up in front of him. Naruto screamed in surprise as he fell down, into the darkness.

A hatch slid closed over the hole, making it seem like nothing was out of place.

To the mob, it seemed as if the earth just swallowed him up.

Two ANBU sat in a nearby tree, sweating nervously. "This isn't good!" the one in the bear mask said, "What are we gonna tell the Sandaime?"

"I don't know!" the one in the bird mask replied, "But we gotta think of something!"

That would be the last time anyone would see Naruto Uzumaki.

With Naruto…

Shrill screaming echoed in the underground, as a malnourished blonde was spit out of a tube onto a pile of cushions.

Very, very dusty cushions.

Coughing, the whiskered blonde sat up and looked around. "Where am I?" He wondered aloud.

"You're in my home."

Yelling in fear, Naruto whipped around. What he saw defied his imagination.

It was a man, wearing armor, a strange helmet, and robes. He was see-through and glowing light blue.

"Who-who are you?" Naruto stammered out. "Me? Who am I?" Chuckling gently, the man spread his arms and bowed. "My name is Revan, young one. Also known as the Conqueror of systems, Killer of Sith, Destroyer of The Star Forge." Revan looked down at a confused Naruto. "It seems you haven't heard of me. Strange."

Naruto stared at the ghost, his face saying, 'Well, duh.'

"And who are you?" Revan asked. Naruto proudly thumbed his chest and declared, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto, and I'm gonna be the greatest Hokage ever, even better than the Yondaime!"

Revan cocked his head to the side. "Who?" "Who, who?" Naruto tilted his head confusedly. "Who is the Yondaime? He must have been quite the hero."

Naruto nodded rapidly. "Yup! He killed the Kyuubi and saved the village! His name was Namikaze Minato!"

The atmosphere changed, all humor gone. Revan kneeled to Naruto's level. "Are you sure it was Namikaze? What did he look like?" Naruto became nervous at the sudden change, and nervously replied, "W-well, he had blond hair, and blue eyes, kinda like me," then he mumbled, "'cept without the whiskers."

HE looked up to see Revan deep in thought. He was muttering to himself, something about, "I knew I sensed something in the boy, but, why can't he see it himself?" Naruto tried to tug on Revan's robes, but to his shock, his hand went right through. "Um, why can't I touch you?" he squeaked, "And why don't you know who the Yondaime was?"

Revan simply grunted, "'Cause I'm dead."

Naruto paled. "Y-you're a g-ghost?" Revan chuckled. "You could say that," he said. He turned serious. "Naruto, I have a serious question to ask you." He kneeled once again, "How would you like to know what I know?"

Naruto's eyes almost popped out of his head. "Really? Would I be a ninja?" he asked hopefully. Revan nodded his head. "If you want I could get someone to teach you to be a ninja, but what I would teach you to be would be even better."

He jumped excitedly. "What?"

"A Jedi." Revan said seriously.

Now Naruto looked confused. "A what?"

Revan laughed. "A Jedi is someone who can us the Force. The Force can be used for all sorts of things, like healing yourself, picking objects up with your mind, and shooting lightning from your hands."

Naruto's eyes went wide. "Wow! That sounds really cool! What's the deal?"
Revan made Naruto follow him. They walked through the tunnels, until they came out into a vast cavern. That had tiled floors.

"Naruto, the deal I have in mind is this: I will train you in the ways of the Jedi, and my friend will train you in the ways of the ninja. But, you will have to stay here until I think you are ready, and that may be years."

Naruto gulped. Years in this dusty place? "What's the other part?" he asked. Revan said simply, "Nothing. You go back, and that's it. But before you make your decision, I have something to tell you."

"What?"

"I know who your dad was."

Naruto gaped at the glowing man. On one hand, he could learn all these awesome powers, AND learn who his dad was…or, he could not.

Simple, really.

"I'll take it." He said confidently. Revan nodded. He said, "Good. I'd expect nothing less from my descendant."

Revan reached up to his helmet. "This is what I meant by descendant, Naruto. You…are my descendant."

"What?" Naruto could barely speak as the glowing man removed the front part of his helmet.

He had a face that looked just like the Yondaime's, except older and wiser.

"Naruto, I never told you my full name, did I?" Naruto shook his head.

"My full name is Namikaze Revan."

Naruto could only listen in shock as Revan's tale unfolded in front of him.

"When I first came here, over 250 years ago, I helped the Senju and Uchiha clans found Konoha. In time, I fell in love with a woman name Tatsumaki Uzumaki, sister to the Shodaime's wife. Eventually we had a child, we lived full happy lives, and our line continued after our deaths. I stayed here, as a ghost, hoping to meet a Namikaze who stumbled upon this place, and meet me, so I could teach them how to use our power. Instead, last I heard, years ago, that the Namikaze were wiped out." Revan's face held a look of infinite sadness.

"And then, you came down here, and told me one of my descendants was alive six years ago, the time you were born, and that he looks just like me and you."

Revan looked Naruto right in the eye. "Naruto, you are my descendant. I know this. I can sense the Force potential in you, something only a descendant of mine should have. The Yondaime was my descendant. Who was alive around the time of your birth, who looks just like you and me?"

Naruto gulped, shaking. "Y-you mean…the Yondaime…is?" Revan nodded.

Naruto fainted dead away.

Revan sighed and put his mask back on. Then he whistled. Two orange lights flickered on. "HK-47, begin dust-off protocols, activation code R-three-v-four-n-one-five-one-three-three-seven."

The orange lights flickered again, and a rapid series of clicks was sounded off. A mechanical voice spoke up. "Excited Exclamation: Dust-off protocols complete! Ah! So good to be awake, Master! Query: How can I serve you today? Do you require meat-bags to be terminated?"

Revan smiled behind his helmet. "Good to see you too, HK. Take Naruto here to a bedroom, please, and then sneak into town and see if you can't steal some books on chakra control and jutsus, please. After that, activate the cleaning droids and run a diagnostic check on all of your systems."

"Answer: At once, Master!" HK bent over stiffly, and with a gentleness belying the fact that he was made of metal, picked up Naruto. "Worried Observation: This young meat-bag is quite light, master. Scans suggest lack of nutrition and high amounts of stress output."

Revan narrowed his eyes underneath his helmet. "I shall find out who has been harming my descendant, HK. And when I do, you will hunt once again."

"Elated Reply: Of course, master!"

The beginnings of the rewrite to one of my first stories, The Namikaze Jedi.

Enjoy, and tell me how you liked it.

Keep Being Awesome!
