Chapter 1: Jedi

Jedi Temple

In a galaxy far, far away, we see a blonde human running from an angry red alien with tentacles on her head. The reason for him being chased was simply that he put itching powder on her underwear. Today happened to be the day when the younglings and potential Jedi Padawans would display their skills in a spar in front of the three Jedi knights and masters.

"Come back here! I am going to beat you until you are nothing but a bloody paste," the red alien shouted angrily about the embarrassment she endured earlier because of the blonde human's prank. "Stand up and take your punishment like a man, Naruto."

"No way, it's not my fault you suddenly started scratching yourself in front of the Masters. I thought you would have more self-control, Xyra," Naruto responded with a laugh, making the alien speed up, her eyes narrowing.

"I am going to kill you," Xyra exclaimed, her body vibrating in rage. She was going to beat the blonde idiot to an inch of his life. She recalled in her mind what had happened earlier in the sparing matches.

Flashback Scene Ahead

Xyra was lined up with the other younglings in a wide circle around the sparring ring. In it, there was a stand for the Jedi knights and masters to observe them. Some would be chosen to be Padawans if they performed well. The others would go back to training or be seen to farm to produce the food for the Jedi Temple.

But none of that mattered to Xyra as she glared at a smirking Naruto, who even gave her a cheeky wave, all the while the red alien, whose species are known as Twi'lek, had to use all her willpower to not pull down her pants and scratch her nether region.

The reason for this was that the blonde human had somehow sneaked into her room and put itching powder in her panties. Now, her crotch was on fire, and she could not scratch herself in front of the Jedi Masters and Knights. She would die from embarrassed if they caught her itching down there.

Naruto, the self-proclaimed prank master of the Jedi Temple, had been pranking everyone in the temple, from younglings to masters. Most of the time, he would get away with it because there was no proof linking him to the pranks, even though everyone knew it was him.

Grand Master Zym had also been pranked a time or two and took it with good nature and laughed, but others wanted the blonde human punished. However, the Grand Master refused unless they had proof. He reasoned that if a youngling could get the drop on them, then they needed more training.

"Okay, younglings. You are here to show us what you've learned over the past few years. Just do your best, and everything will be fine. The Force is with you." The younglings looked at the man who had helped train them when Zym, their primary teacher, was away or simply too busy. He was a dark-skinned human male.

Xyra watched the sparring matches begin, youngling against youngling. All the while, she tried to resist the sensation in her crotch until it became too much. She stealthily moved her hand into her Jedi robes and slowly itched, making sure no one was looking.

"Next up is Naruto. Your opponent will be Lara," Xyra snapped back to reality, getting some relief, but her eyes stared into the blonde human's back. She would get him back for this. "Now, begin."

Xyra watched as Naruto fought a Zabrak female. It was less of a spar and more of a beatdown, as anyone can tell from watching the trading light sabers clash.

This was probably another reason why Yoda kept Naruto around. He was unnaturally powerful in the Force, and it surrounded him like a cloak, to the point that just being near him could increase one's connection to the Force.

As Naruto and Lara crossed light sabers, he received tips from the female Zabrak to help him improve, which annoyed his opponent. This led to Lara attacking in anger, and in a flash, her light saber was knocked out of her hands with a well-placed strike.

"Winner, Naruto," the referee announced, the blonde walked down the sparing stage and approached the glaring Xyra, as if he hadn't done anything to her. He then smirked at the Twi'lek.

"Try not to embarrass yourself in front of everyone, fire crotch," the blonde whispered so only Xyra could hear him.

"You will pay for this," Xyra cursed in an equally low voice. She gritted her teeth and had to use all her self-control to not jump at the blonde and claw his eyes out.

"Well, good luck with that. Besides, this is payback for getting me in trouble last week," Naruto said with a grin. Xyra had ratted him out after he pulled off a prank, resulting in him having to clean the public bathrooms of the Jedi Temple for a month.

"You deserve it, you did the crime, so it is fitting that you get punished," Xyra replied unapologetically. She had indeed ratted the blonde human out, but she did it out of envy for his power and the fact that he kept getting special treatment and was not punished for his wrongdoings.

"Well, let's agree to disagree. In any case, I'm sure you're having a little itching problem," Naruto stated as he looked at the Twi' crotch area. "The effects will last for about twelve hours, so good luck out there."

Xyra growled. She was about to speak, but her name was called to come to the sparring ring. She did so with her nose turned up at the blonde human who just laughed at her behavior.

"The next match will be between Xyra and Xyler'k," the dark-skinned Jedi said as he raised his hands and brought them down to signal the start of the match. "Begin."

Xyler'k is a male Twi'lek with green skin, Xyra didn't know if they chose to make her fight one of her species on purpose or not but she didn't care she had to win fast because the itching in her crotch came back with a vengeance.

Naruto on the sidelines could tell what the female Twi'lek was thinking by her facial expression. She wanted to beat her opponent fast to save herself from embarrassment from scratching herself.

"Good luck with that," Naruto said aloud. He had trained with Xyler'k and helped the Twi'lek improve; he was not fall easily. That is not to mention that the powder he used was special in the fact that the more you itch, the worse it got. "I am sure you could help, but try to give yourself relief in secret. Now you will feel even worse."

The itching powder used had the properties to induce intense irritation of the skin. If it is scratched, it will give temporary relief, but it would become even worse because it would work its way deeper into the skin.

Honestly, the only way to stop the sensation is to ride it out for about two hours without scratching.

Naruto watched Xyra struggle against Xyler until she finally couldn't take it anymore and dropped her lightsaber and shoved her hands down her pants and started to scratch herself. She had tears in her eyes as she cried angry tears, swearing to get the blonde bastard back.

"That's what you get for minding your own business," Naruto said, laughing loudly at the dumbfounded faces of the Jedi Masters, Knights, and fellow younglings. "Stop playing with yourself and fight, Fire Crotch."

Naruto said this loudly so that everyone heard it, making the scene more awkward and embarrassing. Xyler'k didn't know what to do, but thankfully, the referee did.

"Winner of the match due to his opponent being incapacitated, Xyler'k," the Jedi referee declared. He ushered the two younglings off the stage and called the next match. This was the beginning of Xyra getting the nickname "Fire Crotch," something she hated and wanted to strangle Naruto every time someone called her that.

Xyra glared at Naruto with such hate and anger that some of the Jedi Knights and Masters started to worry that she would draw upon the dark side, but that worry was short-lived as her focus returned to her inflamed crotch.

"I will get you for this, Naruto, mark my words," Xyra growled as she was held up. The person looked at her awkwardly as the red Twi'lek hand was in her pants, scratching herself. "Damn it, what did you put in that itching powder?"

Naruto just laughed as Xyra was escorted to the infirmary to get some help for her little problem, but the blonde knew there would be nothing they could do for her but let the effects of his itching powder run its course.

Flashback Scene End

"Stop running and take your beating like a man," Xyra shouted, her tentacles waving around angrily behind her head.

It was a funny sight, seeing a red alien chasing a human and swearing all the while, threatening to inflict all manner of painful punishment on him.

One man in particular was watching this with amusement in his eyes. He paid specific attention to Naruto, whom he could see had a very strong connection to the Force.

Fast Forward

"Xyra was really persistent today," Naruto stated from his hiding place in the forbidden part of the Jedi library. He knew a prude like the red Twi'lek wouldn't dare enter here, so he was safe for the time being.

"How the hell did I end up here?" Naruto asked himself in thought. He didn't mean in the library, but it was a question he had been asking himself since he was reborn. "I can't even remember dying for me to be reincarnated, so did something else happen that I don't remember?"

The Uzumaki started to think back on his life as a shinobi, reflecting on the last few memories he had before awakening as a baby in the strange universe with advanced science, aliens, and these powers that the Jedi call "the Force," but it reminded Naruto of natural energy.

Flashback Scene Ahead

Elemental Nation [Land Of Fire]

Naruto looked at Nagato, aka Pein, the leader of Akatsuki, with Konan, the blue-haired paper manipulator, next to him. The red-headed man was going on about the cycle of hate, but all Naruto heard was that the jackass was crying because his life had been tough and killing all those people because of a temper tantrum.

Naruto's face was blank as he looked at Konan, then to Nagato. Did these fools not realize that they had attacked one of the major ninja villages? Even if they succeeded, the other ninja villages would hunt them down, not to avenge Konoha, but to get rid of a threat.

The Uzumaki let Nagato talk all the while he had a shadow clone absorb natural energy in order to finish off the two Akatsuki members, maybe not the blue-haired woman, as she has a bloodline, so she would be captured and bred until she could no longer give birth, then eliminated.

Naruto would usually be against such a thing, but with all the death caused by the two Akatsuki, it hardened his heart against them.

"What is your answer? How will you bring peace to this broken world?" Nagato asked, his face grim and tired, but his Rinnegan shining with power.

Naruto looked at the fool and sent a mental command to his clone to dispel. His eyes turned to that of a toad, making the two Akatsuki tense up, but it was already too late. The nine-tailed fox had heard his host's plans, a perk from being inside his head, and lent him its chakra.

"Fuck peace, what I want is for you to die for all the lives you have taken," Naruto exclaimed, his and the Kyuubi's chakra exploded around him. "You think I will listen to a word from a mass murderer like you?"

Naruto knew that Nagato might be able to absorb chakra like his Paths, so he chose to use taijutsu on him while a clone attacked Konan, separating them.

So, with a sage chakra-enhanced punch, Naruto sent Nagato flying while Konan was busy fighting the clone Naruto created, which was also enhanced by sage chakra.

Naruto wasted no time and pummeled Nagato as if he owed him money, or better yet, as if he had killed his teacher and attacked his home, which had claimed the lives of countless innocent people.

"All mighty push," Nagato exclaimed out of desperation to get Naruto off of him, and it worked, sending Naruto away. However, he was unharmed due to the Kyuubi's chakra and being in Sage Mode.

Nagato started to cough up blood. He knew that Naruto would kill him if he didn't do something soon. Konan was having a hard time too. The clone had summoned some toads, and they had soaked her in toad oil, making it hard for her to use her paper manipulation ninjutsu.

"So, this is your choice to just continue the cycle of hate," Nagato stated, his voice held disappointment, as if he expected something different to happen. "Then, so be it. Summoning Jutsu, Gedo Mazo."

Naruto watched in confusion as a massive humanoid figure came into view. Kyuubi, within the Uzumaki, looked on through Naruto's eyes, and he didn't like what he was seeing.

"Naruto, you have to destroy that thing. It has some of the other tailed beasts within it," the Nine-Tails stated as he sensed his siblings inside what he knew was the Ten-Tails, but didn't want to reveal that to his host just yet, if ever. "I will cooperate with you this one time. Now, defeat the Rinnegan user and destroy his summoned."

"Fine, fox, but I know you're not telling me something. But I have a feeling I will need your help here," Naruto replied as he saw and felt the change in Nagato. He was absorbing the tailed beast's chakra from his summon, and his body was healing. It wasn't just that; it was like he was rewinding time, aging back into his prime. "This is not going to be easy."

"Come, Uzumaki Naruto, let's end this," Nagato exclaimed as he commanded his summon to attack, and it did so, getting to its feet while breaking the chains on its hands.

"Naruto, use my chakra. I will not try to take you over, so it will be easier to control now," Kyuubi ordered. He knew that one wrong move and it was over for them. Naruto would be dead, and he, the great nine-tailed fox, would be sealed in the monstrosity in front of them.

Naruto didn't know why, but he trusted the fox demon's word, so he drew on the tailed beast's chakra and combined it with his own, instantly feeling a surge of power like he had never felt before.

Naruto's appearance changed. He was now covered in yellow chakra, with symbols on him. While his eyes were still toad-like with a slit, they were now orange in color, showing the Kyuubi influence.

"You want a battle of summons? Then so be it," Naruto roared as the Gedo Mazo got closer to him. He bit his thumb and did some hand signs, "Summoning Jutsu."

There was a massive burst of smoke that covered the battlefield outside Konoha. The Gedo ignored it and charged right in, but was blown back by a fire, water, and oil attack compliments of three massive toads and the two elders on top of Naruto's shoulder, while he stood on the chief toad's head.

"Naruto, you've gotten yourself into some real trouble this time," Fukasaku said as he looked at the Gedo Mazo.

"Damn it, Naruto, why did you summon me again so soon?" Gamabunta shouted in annoyance for being summoned twice in the same battle. His injuries were not healed yet, although the amount of chakra Naruto supplied replenished his and the others' chakra reserves.

"Stop complaining, Naruto wouldn't have summoned us if he didn't need our help," Shima scolded the big toad. Then she grinned as she looked at the Gedo Mazo charging at them. "But I have to agree that this is above our capabilities."

Naruto was about to reply when the Kyuubi spoke to him about an idea he had. The Uzumaki was uncertain about it, but he knew there was no other way.

"I have an idea, but you are not going to like it," Naruto admitted as he started to gather Kyuubi chakra in his hands. "I am going to share Kyuubi chakra with you, and with it, you should be able to stand a chance against that thing."

"What," all the toads exclaimed in shock at Naruto's idea. It was crazy on so many levels. The Uzumaki used their confusion to mingle Kyuubi chakra into them before they could refuse.

Flashback Scene End

"Hey, what are you doing in here?" A male voice snapped Naruto out of his trip down memory lane. Now he looked at the man with dark hair and eyes.

"Shit," Naruto cursed. He was so distracted that he didn't notice the man until he was within arm's length, or maybe the man might have been skilled enough to bypass his senses.

"You know you can get into a lot of trouble for being here," the man stated with a look of amusement on his face, a look Naruto knew too well.

"Wait, you are the new hot-shot Jedi Knight. I think they said your name is Revan," Naruto exclaimed, pointing a finger at the older man.

Naruto hadn't exactly met the man before, but there was a lot of talk about Revan, specifically how he never failed an assignment and his power with the Force.

The pair didn't know it, but this meeting would change both their fates and that of either universe. Their names will be forever engraved in every Force user's mind as the apex of the light and dark side.
