Elemental Knights

Chapter 1

AN: You voted and you got your wish for my next story release, in this case a Naruto/Star Wars crossover. Like always I'm going about things in a different way than what seems to be the norm so this should be fun and hopefully get my creative juices flowing again. Anyway I need more people to take a crack at that challenge I posted in my profile because that's something I seriously want to read as only one person has tried and only released a single chapter. With that said let's get this started, Start the theme music.

Start Now:

A chorus of laughter echoed throughout the estate as the large group had gathered to celebrate the day of birth of one of their own. As he looked upon all those he had began to call friends in the last four years, the newly recognized Namikaze Naruto couldn't help but have a small but true smile cover his features for a while. For him today marked not only the anniversary of his birth, but also the beginning of a new chapter in his life.

The war had ended barely a week previous and the elemental alliance had emerged victorious over the power hungry Uchiha Madara and his remaining Akatsuki members. Unfortunately many lives had been lost over just those few short months and Konoha in particular had lost many heavy hitters including the elder Ino-Shika-Cho trio. He himself had fought Madara in a battle that had nearly killed him and forced him into a coma for the next few days while his body recovered.

Of course upon awakening he'd been in for one hell of a surprise. Koyuki and Shion had been there upon his awakening and a very pregnant Shion hadn't wasted a moment to jump him. Koyuki however had laughed at the sight before depositing the pair of kids she'd been holding onto his bed. During his three year training trip with Jiraiya he had spent some time with Koyuki in the land of Springs which had eventually led to the now 23 year old Daimyo/actress to give birth to their twin sons Hizuren and Sousetsu.

Looking over his gathered friends he couldn't help but smile. Gaara, his siblings, and his charge Matsuri had all shown up for the occasion leaving Baki in charge of the village. Shikamaru had come with Kurenei, though Ino, Choji, Kiba and Shino weren't in attendance as they'd all been sent off on missions. Tenzou had also not attended looking over the village in place of Naruto who had taken a lead position during the war. Sai was thankfully absent as well helping the ANBU remove the members of Ne from their hiding spots. While Hinata's sister Hanabi was also in attendance.

His smile only widened seeing Hinata holding little Sousetsu as Shizune held onto Hizuren. The women were all gathered around Shion talking a mile a minute about something he had no clue about. Of course he knew Tsunade would have a fit after she found out about his children as well as curse up a storm upon Jiraiya in the afterlife swearing she'd pay him back someday for corrupting him. His moment of reminiscence however was abruptly brought to a halt as his body seized up for as his eyes lost focus.

"Hey guys, I want to show you something." Said the blonde easily slipping into his cheerful mask.

Standing to his feet he skillfully ignored the looks given to him by Shion, Koyuki and Hinata as he motioned for the large group to follow him. Walking at a calm casual pace through the estate

"Naruto-kun where are we going?" questioned Shion after a few minutes of walking.

"It's a surprise, just be patient we're almost there." Said the blonde giving her his signature grin.

Finally they came to a large portrait of Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato in the east wing of the house that took up an entire wall. Piercing his left thumb upon one of his larger than average canines he placed it upon the ring finger of Kushina's hand. As he removed his hand the spot glowed for but a moment before the entire wall pulled back several inches before rising up showing a whole new area, one of forest. As they entered into the forested area the wall quickly slid back into place as if it had never moved to begin with.

"What is this place?" Asked Shizune.

"This is the unoccupied forest region of Fire Country. Specifically speaking this is the forest behind the Hokage Monument; it's where I grew up and do all of my real training. Now come on there's someone I want you all to meet."

After a few more minutes of walking a metal, thing, at least twenty four meters long could be seen before them. As they continued to approach they were surprised as a ramp suddenly extended down before them as a door opened at the top. Still everyone remained silent as they followed the blonde as he made his way up the ramp and through the doorway. As they entered into it the group could only look around in awe as they followed Naruto through it. Finally they came to a closed doorway where he stopped.

"Thank you guys for your patience with me. Anyway she's behind here."

So saying the door slid open with a nearly quiet 'hiss'. As they entered they could see a woman lying upon a bed surrounded by what looked to be glass obviously unconscious. The woman had long red hair that cascaded around her and was dressed in what looked to be a white gown.

"I'd like to introduce you guys to my mother, Kushina." Said Naruto quietly as he walked up to place his hands upon the glass.

"I've been coming here since I was four when I first asked jiji about my mother. She's been here in a physical coma ever since my birth. The ship we are in is the vessel she used to get here called the Ebon Hawk at one point the fastest ship of its kind."

"I don't understand." Said Sakura hesitantly.

"My mother didn't grow up here, on this planet or even this galaxy. In fact she grew up in the next one over, where she was a very well known war hero. However she is from this planet so she returned only to find her home country destroyed and the elemental nations engulfed in war. Anyway her background is a long story but basically it's why she was the only equal my father had." Explained the blonde.

"You said she's in a physical coma." Said Tenten after a few moments.

"Hai, it means her mind is still active she just can't connect with her body. Physically her body has recovered but once again they just don't seem to be syncing up. This is the result of a technique she used to save herself after a mental attack she used on the Kyuubi back lashed on her."

"Why haven't you said anything before?" questioned Shizune as she moved closer.

"Because there was no point. I've looked up every technique we've got to offer nothing we can do will help her. Tsunade is also here, in the next room in fact. Anyway now that the war is over I can take them to be healed, but that means leaving the planet. Tenzou already knows this and has agreed to take over the village while I'm gone. Hinata, Shion, Koyuki, Kurenei, Konohamaru, Moegi, Udon, Hanabi and of course the kids are coming along as well. I threw this get together so I could inform you guys we'd be leaving tonight" finished the blonde turning to face his friends.

"I'm going with you." Spoke Sakura barely a moment after he finished.

"As a medic it is my job to look after them now that I know about them. Even if I can't bring them out of their coma's I could perhaps learn the way to do so." Explained Sakura getting an understanding nod from the blonde.

"I'll go as well. It is my duty to look after Hinata-sama and Hanabi-sama." Said Neji evenly while Tenten smiled and nodded

"It's troublesome, but I'll go as well. I promised I'd look after Kurenei and Asuma." Said Shikamaru with a sigh

"As will I." said Gaara surprising everyone.

"I believe that now would be a good time for a vacation, don't you my friend." Said Gaara getting a smirk from his first friend.

Looking around he also got a nod from Temari, Matsuri, and Anko. Shizune, and Kankuro however were opting to stay behind.

"What about the Alliance, many of the leaders only joined because of you and with Madara defeated they may back out." Said Kankuro.

"It's been taken care of. Each territory will have a leader take a seat on the newly established council. The decision making will now be up to this council as the alliance will not have a true leader, though it will have field commanders. Those of you who are staying will be taking up the vacant positions of Konoha's council and other top level positions available to you."

With that goodbye's were said as those that opted to remain behind disembarked from the ship following a Naruto clone that would lead them back to the house, which Naruto had left in the care of Shizune. As the last of his friends disembarked and the ramp raised itself to a close behind them the blonde withheld a sigh in an effort to hold back his sadness. Turning he made his way to the bridge of the ship followed closely by those who remained with him. Sitting himself in the center seat the legendary Rokudaime Hokage of the Hidden Leaf village was not surprised when Gaara took the seat to his left and Hinata his right.

"You guys can take a look around if you want and pick out your beds as there are quarters in each section of the ship, this trip should take a while." Said Naruto as he idly flipped the switches before him to go about starting the ship.

After a few moments the ship roared as its engines came to life and Naruto took a last moment to look over the forest he'd spent his youth. A steadying hand to his shoulder had him looking over to find Sakura smiling at him along with the others. Smiling slightly he turned back to the controls and hit the last few switches. The ship shook for a moment as each of its occupants took that moment to steady themselves with chakra to their feet.

Outside the ship Kankuro, and Shizune could only look on in awe as the ship began to rise off the ground causing a large amount of wind to shoot from it as the legs retracted inward. Finally it got a reasonable distance from the ground before it shot out into the sky leaving a trail of light in its wake and only the two of them to witness the spectacle.

Within the ship everyone could only gasp in amazement as the ship flew through the air and broke through the atmosphere in about three minutes to reach the vastness of space and giving them their first view of it. Breaking himself from his awed daze Naruto placed the ship on autopilot and turned to face his friends and lovers.

"Alright seeing as how this trip is going to be a long one I've got the time to teach you some things you'll need to know. I'm pretty sure a lot has changed since my mother came to our world but it won't hurt to learn this stuff. After the boring stuff though, we can start with the fun."

The grin Naruto gave them at that point would have scared anyone that didn't know him into a heart attack. As it was his friends could only shudder, while Hinata, Koyuki and Shion found themselves instantly turned on. Either way anyone looked at it, the fate of an entire universe had just changed in a way none would be prepared for.

AN: That's it for the first chapter. So what do you guys think? I left out a good bit of stuff that was in the first draft that I'll be placing in the second chapter. Regardless I think this one will be a hit as high as Naruto: Shinigami, and Devil of the Hidden Leaf, which are two of my favorites. I hope you guys are ready for this.
