Epilogue
(Thirty Years Later…)
Kushina entered the office of the Hokage and notice her son was standing quietly looking out at the village. His face was lost in thought, "Naruto?"
"Hey mom," Naruto whispered sadly. "Just got word from Shizune this morning, Tsunade passed away."
Kushina closed her eyes tears slowly falling so she did not see her son walk up to her and pull her into an embrace. But she didn't tense instead quietly put her arms around him both quietly sharing the grief of losing someone they both cared for. "She'll be missed, when will the funeral take place," the red haired woman asked wiping her tears away.
"This weekend, Shizune is setting things up, I asked her if she needed any help from Sakura or Ino, she politely declined," Naruto sighed wiping his own tears walking around to sit at his desk. "Your team should be back by then."
Kushina nodded then giggled, "It is interesting to have a genin team made up of entirely my grandchildren." Kushina's genin team consisted of Jaesa's son and Sakura's son and daughter. Marik Uzumaki was much like his mother stoic, powerful in the force but had his father's spirit, ability for pranks, as well as his ability to inspire. His teammates also his two half-siblings, were Ryoko Uzumaki and Minato Uzumaki, one named after his grandfather as such he felt it was only right to aim for the Hokage chair, he was pretty much the spitting image of his grandfather too minus the jade green eyes. Ryoko looked more like the typical Uzumaki, only instead of smooth red hair she had spiky red hair, and blue eyes like her father. Minato was pretty much a clone of his father in personality though he did have his mother's intelligence, Ryoko inherited her clan's and mother's fiery temper, but Ryoko also took up her Aunt Vette's snarky attitude.
Naruto chuckled remembering watching his children's faces when they found out who their Jonin sensei was.

Marik sat next to his two half siblings meditating like his mother taught him. Or he at least tried; the twins were being their usual mischievous selves. Granted he enjoyed a good prank as much as the next Uzumaki but there was always a time and place for it. "Do not set a bad example like father did with his Jonin sensei."
"Please, Pervy-Kakashi was laid back, heck dad didn't even receive any major training from him at all," Ryoko stated. Ryoko looked very vulpine with almost fox like eyes, and nearly pointy ears, out of all the children Naruto had with his three wives she was the only one that the most fox like traits and turns out had the most chakra, so much so her father taught her the Shadow Clone jutsu just to help her pass her exams, as like her father her chakra control sucked. Her younger brother by a second had the same amount of chakra but he had inherited their mother's near perfect control. This proved that chakra control can be inherited and not simply just learned. Still it annoyed the red haired girl, that her brother had massive amounts of chakra and could perform the standard clone jutsu with no problems. "So who do you think will be our Jonin sensei?"
"Maybe it'll be Darth Peerless, my mother's former apprentice," Marik suggested.
Minato raised an eyebrow, "What so we can watch you drool every day, ya know she's married right and twenty something years older than you."
"I CAN DREAM!" Marik shouted his face turning red.
Snickering Ryoko patted her half-brother's shoulder, "I heard she took on your sister as an apprentice, so you blow that theory out the water, bro."
Marik blinked thinking of Satele Bastila Uzumaki, named after the Jedi Grandmaster and her ancestor, his older sister had shown promise in the force and he hoped she do well. With a sigh the dark haired boy grumbled, "I so wanted Hanabi to be our sensei."
"Should I go ask her then?" all three siblings turned to see their grandmother walk into the room, dressed in her jonin uniform smirking at them.
Ryoko reacted first jumping over the desks and glomping her grandmother in affection, "Grandma what are you doing here?" she asked a happy smile on her face.
She missed the fox like grin spreading over the old red haired woman, missing the looks of dread forming on the faces of her siblings. "Why I'm your Jonin sensei Ryoko-chan," she replied. Minato and Marik both whimpered hearing horror stories about their grandmother's training methods. While Ryoko true to her to her father embraced it.
"Will you teach me seals Grandma-sensei?" Ryoko asked. "Oh, oh, and kenjutsu."
Kushina giggled, "Oh my, so energetic okay if you can pass my test I'll teach you."
"Um, so what's your test, Kushina-sensei?" Marik asked.
Kushina's smile morphed into an evil smile, "I have on good authority that Jiraiya is back in the village no doubt peeking on the hot springs. So your test is to prank the old pervert, and not get caught."
The three Uzumaki children turned to each other sporting eerily similar grins as their grandmother. It would be a day long remember as the worse pranking spree on record, and all done on one person.

Kushina had never been more proud to train her grandchildren after the hell they stirred up on the old pervert. Team Kushina had become infamous not only for completing mission after mission but pulling some of the most devastating pranks ever. As it was the three were now Chunin taking on B and A ranked missions. "They're going to be devastated when they find out about Tsunade," Kushina said softly.
"I know, she was as much a grandmother to them as you are," Naruto said softly. "I'm retiring in ten years."
"You'll be forty-six Naruto, are you sure?" Kushina asked.
"Yeah, forty years as Hokage is enough, I feel obligated to let Konohamaru become Hokage at least for twenty, he already planned to let Minato succeed him," Naruto chuckled sadly. "I-I want to spend my retirement years with Vette-chan, Jaesa-chan, and Sakura-chan, the Uzumaki longevity thing is both a blessing and a curse, especially if you marry outside the clan. I'll look like I'm in my forties when I enter my nineties, you barely look like you've aged since I was in my twenties mom."
Kushina nodded grimly, "yes it's not the aspect of our bloodline I like any more than you do my son. I'm going to have to watch my three beloved daughter's in-law pass on and watch my own grandchildren reach their late thirties before I finally pass on, Mito-obasan lasted the longest before she passed away. Makes me wonder why Tsunade died so early."
"Her alcohol abuse and the use of her regenerator jutsu to save me from Orochimaru when I was thirteen, shorten her life span considerably. She had no regrets though; Shizune caught her whispering to her brother and Dan, the night before in that semi-delirious state. They were simply calling her to become one with the force is all," Naruto sipped his tea. "Whirlpool city has already begun commissioning a statue in her honor, as a member of both the Uzumaki and Senju clans she will hold a place in the Uzumaki Shrine there."
"Standing alongside her grandparents, her brother, your father, and the countless Uzumaki that died in the second war, it's a very suitable honor for her and her contributions," Kushina smiled sadly.
Naruto nodded, "We can only hope that future generations remember the tragedies of the past to not doom themselves to repeat it."

Hera Syndulla grumbled tossing her hydro spanner on the ground glaring at the communications array for the Ghost. She was currently alone on the ship as the other's had gone off to get supplies, so she had taken the time to tweak the array to boost the range. As such her best laid plan hit a snag.
Trying to boost signal I see, you need to reinforce the signal amplifier before bumping up the power. Hera jumped spinning around drawing her blaster in one swift motion spotting a man dressed in a long orange and black flamed cloak, black flak jacket, grey pants, and carrying two lightsabers clipped to his belt, he had spiky blonde hair, the bluest eyes she ever seen before, and six whisker marks on his cheek three on each side of his face. He smirked slightly; If you want to blast the bulkhead behind me go ahead.
Now realizing what she was seeing was in fact a force spirit, the strange thing was he wasn't appearing in front of Kanan, "I thought force ghost only appear to Jedi?"
True for the most part, or we appear to those that we have a familiar connection to, in this case it's the latter. You see Hera I'm your ancestor, my name is Naruto Uzumaki I lived about thirty-five hundred years ago on a planet called Shinobi Prime, not very original mind you but there you go.
Hera sat down stunned; her ancestor had been a Jedi and human to boot. "How is that possible?"
Vette was your great grandmother's name you can probably even find her in the current Imperial database if you know where to look. Sith rarely erase information involving members of the bloodline simply hide it away. Naruto explained.
"Sith, you're a Dark Lord of the Sith," Hera felt a cold shiver go down her spine.
Sith yes, Dark Lord hardly, I come from a planet that worshipped the teachings of a Jedi and Sith by the name of Revan, I'm pretty sure your Kanan could tell you about him. Revan believed in the balance of the force, Naruto explained Hera let out a deep breath Kanan had told her of the prophecy that went to shit when Anakin Skywalker fell to the dark side.
"So the prophecy about bringing balance to the force is…," Hera asked.
Was started by us, however both Jedi and Sith got the prophecy wrong, one believe it should be washed in the light, the other believes they should leave in darkness. This is not the case, balance means maintaining both. The force has been trying to keep balance since the founding of the Jedi order five thousand years ago. Naruto stated watching Hera's eyes as it dawned on her what he said.
"So what do you want from me, aside giving me a history lesson," Hera asked mildly annoyed.
Naruto chuckled, I can see much of Vette in you Hera, she would be very proud. What I ask from you is once the rebellion is complete and things calm down, come to Shinobi prime and see us, your ancestors that is all I ask.
Hera blinked, "That's it, what's the catch."
The catch as you say will be meeting two members of your family that currently are scattered. Both are descended from my family line, but born from different mothers, I'll explain more in detail when the time comes. The first will be Galen Malik; he's currently studying under Darth Vader as a secret apprentice, before you get worried, he will be betrayed by Vader and find his way into light. The next will be Mara Jade, she is currently being groomed as one of the Emperor's Hands, again do not worry she will be freed from that life in ten years. Hera nods frowning slightly. You've notice the common trend among your siblings as it were. Both surrounded by the dark side yet they will overcome it. It was how I started out; I was surrounded by fear and hate, but rose above it. Naruto smiled softly, It's what the Uzumaki do, we rise above the challenges in our path, I know you will do the same Hera, because I believe in you my daughter.
Hera watched the spirit slowly fade wiping the tears from her eyes, even as they continue to roll. She then turned to the communications array and did what Naruto suggested and smiled. "Well I'll be."

Hera groaned popping her back, old age did not agree with the green skinned Twi'lek, slowly walking out of the Ghost onto the landing platform overlooking the ancient Whirlpool village ruins. Looking down she instantly felt the connection the ancient village. Kanan had agreed to let her do this alone with some minor protests from Ezra, the young practically considered her a surrogate mother which warmed her heart. Shinobi Prime was a beautiful planet, broken up into mini city states, Hidden Stone, Mist, Cloud, Sand, and Leaf. The shinobi way of life though had changed only slightly, as the technology and the ability to leave planet grew. However it had successfully stayed neutral and off the radar for the last three thousand years, almost as if the force itself was protecting it. Heck Kanan had been surprised to find it in the planetary database after the reconstruction of the Jedi Temple had been completed.
The green skinned Twi'lek walked through the bustling city noting the Uzumaki clan swirl adorning every surface of every major building. She even managed to touch one and almost came to tears. She didn't know why but she almost felt drawn to a massive building at the center of the city, Kanan would have told her it was the force guiding her. Inside she found a vast array of marble statues, of men and women. It was awe inspiring to look at, her gaze however settled on four at the center of the large room, and was stunned. One of the people immortalized in marble was a Twi'lek. Walking in a hurried fashion she came to stand in front of the statue and looked down at the inscription. Vette Uzumaki, loving mother, wife, and constant companion. Helped establish the Merchant OffWorld Trade with Kizashi Haruno. Hera looked up at frozen image of the woman and could see several traits she inherited from this woman.
"Hmm, interesting wouldn't you say?" Hera turned to see a man dressed in jedi robes, accompanied by a blonde woman, standing not far from him was a red haired woman looking up at statues.
"Did Naruto visit you two?" Hera asked.
The red haired woman nodded blushing slightly looking up at the sole shinobi looking woman of the four statues. "Mara Jade Skywalker."
"Galen Malik," the man stated. "My wife Juno," he introduce the blonde.
"Hera Syndulla, guess I'm the oldest," the green skinned Twi'lek stated.
Welcome to your roots, Galen, Mara, Hera, and nice to meet you to Juno, the three looked up to see Naruto Uzumaki float down to stand on the pedestal in front of his own statue. It has been a hard road for the four of you, many regrets, many triumphs, and much anguish. There is so much I want to tell you and yet I know I have only so much time, your great-grandmothers will kill me if I don't get back to them. Naruto chuckled.
"What do you want to tell us?" Mara asked.
Your husband Luke has been looking for someplace new to establish the Jedi Order, Yavin is forever tainted because of Exar Kun. I have such a place for him; it is here or rather in Hidden Leaf city. Training ground 44 would be the perfect place and already has a place to live. But it is up to him to accept it. He paused frowning slightly. And Mara watch your apprentice he is falling toward the darkness by keeping secrets from his parents, and I see him killing you in a year completing the fall, like his grandfather. Mara's eyes widening at this before nodding having sensed Jacen's mood over the course of time. Naruto shifted his gaze to Galen, Jaesa's great-grandson you had been bathed in both light and dark represent the truth in Revan's teachings, that light and dark can be balanced in one person. Jaesa would be extremely proud of you as I know I am, continue what you are doing. Galen nodded a faint smile tracing his features. Naruto finally focused on Hera, you and Kanan did more than your fair share to help end Sidious's rule, and for that I am thankful. Hera nodded Naruto's eyes softened considerably. You are all Uzumaki, you have determination, you fight to protect those precious to you, and when your time in this universe ends and you become one with the force, your family will be there to greet you with hugs, and praise. Until then May the Force be with you.
Naruto faded and the three descendants stood looking at the huge marble statue, Naruto Uzumaki, loving father, husband, leader. Embracing the teachings of Revan strived to obtain peace in the Elemental Nations and accomplished it. May the Will of Fire for ever burn in hearts of the people.
Author's Note: My first fully completed Naruto fic that wasn't a one shot, and I must say I hope other Naruto/Star Wars fics follow my example. Finish them please most of the ones I've read are awesome. As for Super Saiyan Naruto I will continue it, the others I might take off until I can get some more reliable beta readers. Speaking of beta reading, anyone asks me to read a Sasuke/Sakura fic, uh no I refuse to accept that as canon, Kishimoto was an asshole when he made the final pairings. He was a fan of dragon ball z and Tenchi Muyo and he couldn't squeeze in the same shit that the Tenchi creator did with Tenchi, Ryoko, and Ayeka. I mean come on he's the last male of his clan, no threesome action with Sakura and Hinata. I can't say anything bad about any of the female characters in the series they are just too likable to hate on any of them really. Sasuke on the other hand, OMG, I HATE HIM, he didn't deserve to live at the end of the series, he deserve to die for his shit, but NNNNOOOO Kishimoto liked him. He's Anakin Skywalker in a different casing instead of a whiny bitch we got a brooding bitch, only none of the redeemably that Anakin had when he was turned into Darth Vader, Vader became a badass, Sasuke was still a brooding emo bitch. The last Naruto movie, do not watch it, it is an insult to fans. Watch Road to Ninja, and all of the movies before it, but stay away from the last one, protest it, in fact if you can find Kishimoto's address and send it to him with plenty of foul language saying he pulled a dick move with the final pairing.
