Hey everyone! Welcome to my new story! This is one that I'm REALLY excited about. I have been a Star Wars fan for as long as I can remember and yet I was never SUPER into the whole universe other than watching the movies a lot and playing a few of the video games. Also being a Star Wars fan I was a huge fan of both Jango and Boba Fett. So when one of my friends and I started talking about Star Wars he talked be me deep about some of the combat styles and the culture of the Mandalorians. He later convinced me to start writing this. So after several weeks of extensive research into Mandalorian culture I finally started writing this. However there are things that should be stated first.

1. This takes place in between the KOTOR games and the prequels at a random date.

2. I studied the Mando culture. I didn't study the entire history of the galaxy.

3. This is going to primarily be a Naruto story. So not really going to be much mention of events going on in the galaxy.

4. All of the Mandalorians in this are OCs. I did not take any of them from any books or games from canon.

I think that's it. Let's get this story rollin'!

Prologue

Personal Log of Mandalore the Unrelenting, 876 BBY

I have come to an uncharted planet far into the outer rim of the galaxy approximately 1,500 Parsecs from Mandalore. All probes and scans of the planet show it to be a basic terrestrial planet. The atmosphere is oxygen based and the planet rich in plant and animal life as well as high levels of minerals and ores. I have taken a small ship as well as a small squad of my own personal guard to see what the indigenous and dominant species are and if they can be reasoned with into an agreement for such goods and services.

End Log.

Mandalore and his squad flew through the land of the planet on swoops as they took in the landscape. They chose to abandon the large shuttle craft so as not to draw too much attention. They also came to this decision as there were few places large enough to accommodate the large craft. Unfortunately their timing had been slightly off as the Mandolorians, unsure of the indigenous peoples' habits, landed during the late night.

The squad came to a halt as they came to the top a large cliff. In the distance they could see what appeared to be a city. The architecture was slightly primitive with splashes of technology mixed in. It would seem that the people of this planet wouldn't be anywhere near space-worthy for another century or two if left to their own devices. Behind the city seemed to be a monument carved into a cliff-side of four men's faces. However their attention was brought from the village as a loud, thunderous roar was heard. They turned to see a giant nine tailed fox that had to be from their vantage point, about 150 meters from tip to tail. It began to attack the city as many people fought bravely to defend their city from destruction from the great beast.

The people seemed to use a power that the Mandalorians had never encountered before. It wasn't the Force. The Mandalorian race had encountered Force users before. This was different. This was something that needed to be investigated further. As the thought ran through the minds, their attention was brought away from the beast as another large creature appeared in a cloud of smoke.

The creature was clearly amphibious, with webbed feet and hands. Its body however was covered in warts and there was a scar across one of its eyes. One of the Mandalorians would later joke that it's what he would imagine a Hutt would look like if they grew legs and started fighting their own battles. However one of the main differences between the two creatures was that the amphibian was wearing clothes. It wore odd robes and was smoking a pipe. On its back was a large sword which it unsheathed as it prepared for battle. Yet the group could see something on the amphibian's head. Mandalore signaled to his men. The scout pulled out his binoculars and exclaimed to his leader.

"[It's a human, sir, and he appears to be carrying something in his arms… I… I think it may be a baby.]"

"[That can't be true! Are you sure? Kote(1), can you get a better look?]" The captain of the group exclaimed. The one named Kote pulled out a sniper rifle and looked through the high powered scope at the man atop the creature.

"[I can't get a good look. But by the way he's holding it I would assume so.]" Kote said to his compatriots.

"[What kind of an utreekov(2) would carry a baby atop a giant creature to fight another creature?]" The medic of the group yelled. Mandalore's interest had reached its zenith as he started the engine of his swoop, gaining the attention of his men.

"[Why don't we go ask him, Esok?(3)]" Mandalore said before he sped off toward the creatures who were currently engaged in combat.

The Mandalorians arrived in a canyon to see the large tailed beast being constrained with giant chains that held it to the ground. Standing before it were a man and a woman. The woman held the baby in her arms as the man began to do a series of intricate hand-signs. As he finished, the Mandalorians were astounded as translucent gaunt spectre with a beastly visage. It wore white robes over its blue skin and it had two red horns protruding from his forehead. The giant creature became a large cloud of energy that entered the child's body as the spectre inhaled what appeared to be the man's soul and the man collapsed.

When the entire spectacle was done, all that were left standing were the woman and the Mandalorians. The group rushed over as they saw the woman fall into the ground. Esok proceeded to remove his helmet and checked the woman and child over with his instruments.

"[Mandalore, the child is fine. But she's fading fast. There's nothing I can do for her.]" Esok said sadly.

"Please…" The woman said weakly as she held her child tightly. Fortunately it seemed that the people of this planet spoke Basic.

"Please don't hurt him." She pleaded with the men around her. The Mandalore knelt beside the woman and removed his helmet.

"I would never hurt him." The Mandalorian leader said in a comforting tone. The woman smiled as tears filled her eyes she had blood coming out of her mouth as she looked the man in his eyes.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Atin Cabur(4). I am leader of a people known as Mandalorians."

"I'm …Namikaze- …Uzumaki …Kushina. This …is my son …Naruto. Please… he has to live." Tears began to flow freely as she felt her end coming near. She held her son close, holding their connection for as long as possible.

"I promise you, Kushina. That I will protect your son with my dying breathe and raise him as my own. I give you my word."

"Thank you." She sobbed before turning to her son.

"Naruto… You're going to experience a lot of pain and suffering. Remember who you are! Find a goal… a dream… and don't stop trying until it comes true. There's… there's so much more that I want to say… to teach you… I want to stay with you… I love you." She kissed the child's cheek before handing him to Atin. When the child was safely in the Mandalorian leader's arms, Kushina closed her eyes and drifted into eternity. Atin Cabur looked down at the newborn crying in his arms. He could see the child had a strong will. He would stay true to his word and raise the child as his son. From that day forward, he was a father and this child was his son.

"[Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto… Welcome to the Mandalorians.]"

Well that seems to be a good place to end the prologue. So let's go over a few of the Mando'a words and stuff for the people who might not know.

(1) Kote: Glory

(2) Utreekov: Idiot

(3) Esok: A Mandalorian name... I couldn't find a definition.

(4) Atin Cabur: A Mandalorian name. Literally translates to "Stubborn Protector" hence the title of "Mandalore the Unrelenting"

Well I wonder how Sarutobi is going to react to the concept of a group of men coming and taking in his successor's son and raising him far from his home. If you wanna find out with me then give this story a Follow and/or Favorite.

Or if you would like to read the new chapter before everyone else, I am accepting Beta Readers for this story as well as my other one(s) that I have.

... Damn it. I have nothing charming or pithy to say to close of the chapter.

I guess I could just say something that doesn't have anything to do with anything but might get an awkward chuckle out of people.

Stay shiny.
