Summary: Banished from their home planet for wanting to uphold the old customs of Mandalorians. Mandalorians warriors now serve as mercenaries, bounty hunters and even smugglers. Two Mandalorian bounty hunters struggle to find a place where they can truly belong in the galaxy. But such a thing is difficult in the era of the clone wars.. But all they search for... Is a place to call... Home.

Author's note: Not gonna lie, besides failing my first ASVAB to join the armed forces, I was feeling pretty damn lazy. Anyways, here's an update for you eager readers. I hope this quenches your thirst for a time... Unlikely, lol. Anyways, please enjoy. And if you could, please wish me luck on my next attempt at my ASVAB.

Naruto was a very tolerant man. How could he not be a tolerant man? Considering what he had to deal with daily on a day to day basis? He had to deal with an uncle who sometimes had mood swings that practically made him bi-polar. The sheer randomness his dear uncle had at times confused even him at times, but he had long since learned to deal with it.

There was also the fact that his uncle could be a damn troll when he wanted to be.

He also had to deal with Blanc's temper. He liked Blanc, she was quiet most of the time, and she was very good company to have around. He had long ago learned that when Blanc is angry, try to calm her done as quickly as possible. But when she was truly angered, to the point that all rational thought left her head, it was best to take cover, and wait until she is quelled.

Regardless, he was a very tolerant man. Despite his biased attitude to the Jedi, he honestly had no problem with them. Its just hard to fight against the the dislike that was ingrained into his head by other Mandalorians. Anyway, getting back on subject, he had a vast amount of tolerance. As a matter of fact, it was very rare for his tolerance level to be low... But as of right now... His tolerance level was reaching critical levels.

"Tell me again... Why the droids are the only ones in the bridge? Piloting the ship manually might I add?" Naruto asked blankly.

Blanc looked down at the floor, a flush of embarrassment on her face as her blue eyes found a very interesting spot on the floor. Was that spot always there? One of the droids should clean that up. Beside her, Madara grinned, almost as though he were proud of his and Blanc's handy work.

Naruto kept most of his blank stares trained on his uncle grinning face. Though he did give Blanc blank looks when she looked up at him every once in awhile. The looks made her look down to the floor almost immediately. Giving his uncle a look, which made the man's grin increase a bit larger, the blond opened the door leading to the bridge.

Pure chaos summed it up quite nicely.

Control boards, targeting systems, dozens of panels. Practically everything within the bridge of the Susanoo was destroy or crushed beyond recognition. The only thing was even remotely safe were the engine controls, hyperdrive controls, and the life support systems. Everything was smashed into pieces or was on fire. The worst part about it?

They were in hyperspace when this happened. So with the Navi-computer destroyed, they had no way of knowing where the fuck they would exit hyperspace out of. Naruto ordered the droids to repair the Navi-computer first. He did not want a repeat of last time. So repairing the Navi-computer was a top priority. He just hoped they were near a civilized system that way they could repair the Susanoo.

He also hoped it wasn't a Republic or Separatist controlled world either. He really didn't feel like dealing with them. But until than, he had to deal with the two culprits responsible. Turning to face the two, he leveled a stern glare on both of them.

Blanc seemed even more inclined to avoid his stern gaze, while his uncle's grin to seemed to, impossibly, stretch further. "Want to tell me how, and why half of the bridge is destroyed? And why only the most critical systems of the controls remained intact?" He asked. The two remained silent, Blanc looking at the floor and Madara grinning silently. "Well?" Naruto demanded.

"I may or may not have started an argument with Blanc." Madara freely admitted.

"Its White Heart to you." Blanc snapped softly.

A disapproving and sharp glance from Naruto quelled her. Small tears emerging at the corner of her eyes. She held them in, not letting them fall. She was stronger than this! She was a goddess! She was above crying! Yet, why did Naruto scolding her make her feel so much like a little girl? It was bad enough that her body could be considered childlike, she didn't need to be scolded like one either!

Looking at the still grinning Madara, Blanc resisted the urge to glare. It was this smug bastards fault!

"Continue uncle." Naruto demanded.

"Like I said, Bl-White Heart and I were arguing and it may have gotten out of hand... And escalated quicker than I thought." Madara shrugged nonchalantly. Naruto sighed heavily, and tiredly.

"The amount of damages done to the bridge, the expensive equipment that was destroyed. All of it is going to cost at the very least thirty percent of the credits in our bank account. That not even counting the fire damages, and the dents. We're going to have to replace nearly the entire bridge, and that alone may take several weeks." Naruto murmured, already feeling his stress levels increasing. The blond rubbed his head, trying to quell the headache forming.

"Not to mention with the Navi-computer destroyed we're pretty much stuck in hyperspace. We could jump out in any random plant and make repairs, but if the planets not civilized than we have a problem." He groaned.

Seeing Naruto's distress made Blanc want to head over and comfort him, but she didn't, for fear of him still being angry with her.

"Oh lighten up." Madara chimed. "I already set the ship to jump out of hyperspace to the closest civilized planet. This was before it was smashed by a giant hammer." Blanc glared, not amused with Madara's subtle insult to her. Trying to pin blame on her huh? Not on her watch.

"Maybe if someone hadn't called me a bitch it wouldn't have been destroyed." She softly retorted. Madara gave her a look of mock outrage.

"Blanc!" He began scandalized. "I never called you a bitch!" He defended, before Blanc could claim bullshit, he continued. "I called you a flat chested bitch." He corrected sagely.

"You disgusting piece of scum." Blanc seethed.

"Underdeveloped midget."

"Worthless excuse of a man."

"Temperamental child."

"Demeaning worthless piece of shit!"

"Enough!" Naruto finally snapped. The blond haired Mandalorian glared at both Madara and Blanc, the petite goddess looking down in response to Naruto's anger. Madara only grinned.

Sighing deeply, Naruto took a moment to think. "Uncle, stop instigating arguments with Blanc, and Blanc, stop responding to them." Madara didn't respond, while Blanc nodded solemnly, not liking when Naruto scolded her. She still blamed Madara though. Screw that smug faced bastard!

"Once the ship exits hyperspace, we'll have to immediately land the ship to start repairs to the bridge." Naruto murmured to himself.

Blanc opened her mouth, to reluctantly apologize for her hand in destroying half the bridge, but was interrupted by footsteps coming towards them, along with a loud yawn accompanying them. "Good morning everyone." IF spoke, coming into view as she sleepily rubbed her eye. She was wearing her normal attire, with the exception of her blue coat leaving her in her black tank top and skirt.

Her green orbs zoned on them, and she quirked an eyebrow.

"Good morning IF-nee." Naruto greeted, nodding at her direction before glaring back at his uncle who continued to give him that smug and taunting grin.

"Yo IF, morning." Madara casually greeted.

"Morning." Blanc greeted softly.

"What's going on?" IF asked after a moment of silence. Idly, she wondered if she could cut the tension lingering the hall with a knife. She reckoned that she probably could. In response to her question, Naruto wordlessly stepped aside, allowing her to peer into the bridge.

Within an instant of seeing the bridge, IF's eyes bulged. "Holy shit!" She exclaimed. "It looks like a caffeine powered Neptune tore through here!" She added with disbelief.

Naruto shuddered at the mere thought. To be honest, he would rather face the combined forces of both the Republic and Separatists than face a caffeine enhanced Neptune. The sheer terror gripping his heart at the thought would have sent even a Sith lord into a sobbing mess.

"Regardless, Uncle, I'm assuming that since you already set the ship to arrive to the closest civilized world, you know where we'll end up?" Naruto asked, ignoring IF as she looked at the bridge with a gaping mouth.

"You want me to answer honestly?" Madara asked, a mischievous smirk adorning his older features. Raising a brow, Naruto nodded.

"We're gonna visit your favorite cousin!"

Naruto was confused for a moment, before realization dawned on his features, and irritation showed itself on his expression. "You... You planned this didn't you?" He accused.

Blanc and IF looked at the duo confused, their suspicions rising as they saw Madara smirk knowingly.

"You... You didn't set a course for the ship to arrive at any random civilization. You set a course for that planet. After that, to ensure that I didn't change the ship's trajectory, you purposely angered Blanc, that way she would destroy the bridge in her attempt to crush you. More specifically, you wanted her to destroy the Navi-computer." Naruto murmured, disbelief, irritation and annoyance leaking heavily into his tone.

Madara only gave a knowing grin. "Yep, yep, and yep." He admitted. "Lets be realistic here Naruto. If you saw what planet I set as our next destination, you would have changed it immediately."

"I would have done it with grin on my face." Naruto murmured. The blond dutifully ignored the confused looks Blanc and IF gave him. He didn't see a reason to explain himself if they didn't ask. Once they asked, than he would have no problem answering their questions.

"Why do you sound like you hate wherever we're going?" IF asked.

"You misunderstand. I don't hate where we're going." Naruto answered, much to both IF's and Blanc's confusion.

Madara took upon himself to explain. "The planet we're going to our, ironically speaking, is the place all Mandalorian warriors were banished from."

Blanc connected the dots in an instant. "We're going to Mandalore?"

"Yep." Madara confirmed, nodding at the petite goddess. "More specifically, we're gonna visit my dear old cousin."

"Why does Naruto sound like he hates them than?" IF murmured.

"I don't hate her." Naruto interrupted, "If anything, I respect her."

IF made a confused hum. "I don't get it."

"What Naruto hates is the noblemen she surrounds herself with within her courts."

"Who exactly is your cousin, you make her sound important." Blanc interrupted.

"My cousin is the duchess of Mandalore." Madara casually waved off, surprising IF and Blanc. "Anyways, Naruto respects her because, despite her pacifist ideals, she would be willing to fight and die for them."

"Despite Mandalorians being a warrior culture, she at least proves she is of Mandalorian spirit with her determination... And stubbornness." Naruto added, "The noblemen that she keeps in her courts however..." Here, Naruto bristled in distaste. "They are a direct insult to the very name, Mandalorian. Using money, and common thugs to do their dirty work. They are a disgrace." Naruto sneered. Likewise, Madara developed a sneer of his own. The mere thought of those scum who dared to call themselves Mandalorians making him want to kill something.

Why Satine even bothered to keep those maggots around he'll never know. She would probably come up with some bullshit claiming that they had the best interests of the mind.

Madara claimed bullshit.

He knew how bigoted they were. Madara suspected that Satine only kept them around was because they always 'generously' gave her money. Money that she often used to better the lives of her people. He respected that, it also reminded him just how cunning his dear cousin was.

"Well if you hate them so much, why are we going there?" IF asked.

"We haven't seen Satine in ages. No doubt she would welcome a visit from us." Madara answer confidently.

"And we need to repair the ship." Naruto grumbled.

"... That to." Madara conceded.

Before anymore conversation could take place, an assassin droid approached the group. "Masters, we will arrive in Mandalorian space momentarily."

"Excellent." Madara voiced, eagerly entering the bridge, the others following in behind him. The group managed to ignored the damaged equipment, although Naruto silently gave Madara annoyed look when they walked past a large hole on the floor. Luckily, the communications room was left intact. If you could ignore the rather large dents on the floor and walls.

Moments later, the colossal form of the Susanoo existed hyperspace. The home planet of all Mandalorians, Mandalore, within view as the massive ship slowly approached. Not even a minute of entering Mandalorian space, Madara and the others received a transmission from the planet. Patching it through on the holo-projector, the group was greeted with the sight of a Mandalorian security officer.

"Unidentified vessel, you are in Mandalorian air-space. Identify yourself immediately. Failure to comply will result in your vessel being shot down."

"This is Madara Uchiha of clan Uchiha. I demand that you allow us authorization to land, and don't you dare make threats to me boy." Madara coldly sneered, "You are a thousand years to soon to think you will be a match against me."

His sudden personality change took IF by surprise with the exception of Naruto and Blanc. The Madara IF knew was teasing, a bit playful, and absolutely loved to piss people off. But this Madara was cold, hostile, and a bit arrogant.

The Security officer seemed to stiffen, and he hastily stumbled over his words. "L-Lord Madara. A thousand apologies sire!" Madara snorted slightly.

"I'll let it slide this time. Prepare the largest landing zone you have for my ship and inform my cousin of my arrival."

"At once!" With that, the transmission was cut off.

It was silent for a moment before Madara suddenly broke out in a large grin. "I think that guy was scared shitless." The black haired Mandalorian chuckled. The others gave Madara blank looks, while Naruto silently shook his head. The blond turned to look at the planet of Mandalore. His birth place, but nothing more. True, the planet was home to both him and Madara, but it wasn't any longer.

Ever since all the warrior clans had been all but banished to the moon of Concordia, Mandalore just wasn't the same. Despite both Madara and him being the traditional Mandalorian warriors, they were still allowed on Mandalore, because of the family ties that Satine had with them. In a way, they were favored by Satine. However, not entirely favored. Whenever they came on Mandalore, they had to abide by Satine's rules.

That meant no weapons, armor, and, or, anything related to violence. It was non-negotiable to. The only bright side was that they were allowed to carry a standard non-lethal EMP blaster. So long as they did that, than Satine would happily welcome them.

Naruto won't lie, despite being forced to leave behind all his weapons and armorments once they landed, he looked forward to seeing his cousin. He couldn't say the same for the noblemen in her courts unfortunately.

However, before he could say hello to his cousin, he needed to get materials to repair the bridge.

"Jango Fett was a common bounty hunter! A common thug. How he acquired the battle armor of a Mandalorian is unknown, and frankly irrelevant." The Prime Minister of Mandalore declared stiffly, and rigidly. A heavy frown adorning his aged features.

"Be that as it may Prime Minister, my investigation will continue as assigned." Obi-Wan Kenobi calmly responded, his voice level and diplomatic.

"Well, if it isn't my Jedi shining Knight." A female voice cut through. Obi-Wan turned, his blue eyes gazed upon the form of a friend he hadn't seen in years. The ever graceful, and beautiful Duchess Satine. The Duchess of Mandalore graceful walked towards her chair, her movements elegant, and graceful.

"Duchess Satine, its has been a long time. Time has only served to make you more beautiful." Obi-Wan complimented, bowing slightly as Satine took her chair.

"Quite the compliment, considering you are accusing me of treason." The Duchess accused blankly, no real emotion on her face.

"I am not here to accuse Duchess. My mission is to confirm the rumors. Nothing more."

"By the Senate no doubt." Satine softly growled.

"My investigation was ordered by the Jedi Council." Obi-Wan calmly corrected.

"I stand corrected."

"The accusations against the Duchess are ridiculous! They bear no fruit, Mandalore would never go against the Republic." The Prime Minister interjected.

"I have no doubt of that." Obi-Wan pacified, "Nonetheless, my investigation must continue." Pulling out his holo-projector, Obi-Wan continued. "Some time ago, our cameras were able to catch a recording of a saboteur sabotaging a Republic cruiser. A Mandalorian saboteur." Without further delay, Obi-Wan played the recording. It showed a fully uniformed Mandalorian commando shooting his blaster at unseen enemies. Finally the image froze, allowing everyone to see the menacing 'T' shaped visor of the helmet.

"I understand these commando's participated in many wars. Frequently, against the Jed."

"Impossible! No Mandalorian has ever participated in such violence ever since we banished our warriors to our moon of Concordia. They all died out years later." The Prime Minister explained.

"You can't deny what you've seen Prime Minister." Obi-Wan retorted, "Also, there have been two other Mandalorians I've encountered multiple times in the past. Besides Jango Fett." The Jedi Master look into the Prime Minister's eyes, than allowed his gaze to lock onto Satine's. "Does the name Madara, and Naruto Uchiha mean anything to you?" He asked.

In an instant, Obi-Wan could see how the names affected the Prime Minister, and Satine. The Prime Minister choked, pounding his fist into his chest as he sputtered for a moment. Satine however, stiffened, her eyes going wide, before they narrowed in irritation, before finally, she sighed in resignation.

"Obi-Wan..." The Duchess began carefully, Obi-Wan standing still in anticipation. "What trouble has my foolhardy Cousins gotten into this time?"

Whatever response Obi-Wan was expecting Satine to give... That was not one of them.

"C-Cousins!?" Obi-Wan sputtered out in shock. Satine shrugged.

"Well, more like distant cousins. We are distantly related, I'd say a generation or two. But still, nonetheless, we are cousins. So, my question, Master Jedi." Satine leaned forward. "What mischief has my cousins gotten into?" She demanded.

Obi-Wan felt awkward, that was the only feeling he was feeling at the moment. He had arrived with the intention on gaining knowledge about the Mandalorian agent that attacked the Republic's ships, and erase all doubts of Mandalore's involvement with the Separatists. While he was here, he figured he might as well see if he could get a little information on the two infamous Uchiha's. Kill three birds with one stone. That was the way he saw it.

He really did not expect for the third objective to be related to Satine, no matter how distant the relation.

"Well, where to begin..." He trailed offed, scratching his beard absently.

"How about from the beginning?" Satine asked/demanded.

"Right." Coughing into his hand, Obi-Wan opened his mouth. "Well, you see, it all began-" Obi-Wan could not continue his explanation however, as a Guard entered the room. The Guard bowed hastily towards the Prime Minister, and Obi-Wan. When faced with the duchess, he knelt.

"Please forgive the intrusion M'lady, but I have received word that your cousin has arrived in our system. He will land his capital ship momentarily." He announced.

"Never mind Master Kenobi." Satine murmured, "It seems like my cousin will explain himself to me." All was silent for a moment, before the last of the Guards sentence registered in her mind. "Wait... When did Madara own a capital ship!?" Satine exclaimed in shock.

"It is unknown M'lady, but from what I heard... It appears to be quite... Large."

"How large?" Satine asked warily. The Guard opened his mouth to respond, but fell silent when Obi-Wan spoke.

"Is that large enough for you?" He asked blankly, pointing out the window.

Satine, along with the others all followed Obi-Wans gaze. Their mouths hung open as they all stared at the looming form of the Susanoo, the ship was slowly flying over the city, a slight tilt to the point of the ship as it lowered itself more. It was only after the ship landed minutes later on the outskirts of the city, did everyone snap out of their shock, Obi-Wan watching in amusement.

"H-How... How in Mandalore's name did Madara obtain a ship that size!?" Satine murmured in disbelief, feeling grateful she was in her seat. Otherwise, she was certain that she would have fainted.

"Mandalore The Ultimate's backside..." The Prime Minister muttered.

Obi-Wan's ears twitched at the mention of that name. He, like many other Masters on the Council, knew that name by heart. How could they forget the name of the Mandalorian warlord who practically brought the Republic close to their knees? The same Mandalorian who was defeated by the legendary Revan. Thinking of the past made Obi-Wan shake his head. Those names were four thousand years in the past. They held no meaning in the present or future.

True, Revan's influence helped make the Sith of today, but that's as far as his influence reached. The past should stay where it belonged. Buried. Though, Obi-Wan couldn't help but wonder... What would Revan think of the present galaxy?...

"Well, perhaps we should greet your esteemed cousins Duchess?" Obi-Wan announced, breaking everyone out of their thoughts. The Jedi Master offered his hand to the Duchess, gesturing towards the door. Satine blinked several times, before she smiled.

"Yes, yes that seems like a proper course of action." The Duchess mused. She stood, accepting Obi-Wan's hand. She turned towards her Guards, and nodded slightly. The Guards quickly saluted, before they brandished their weapons in their hand as they dutifully followed both the Jedi Master and their Duchess out the door. The Prime Minister and the messenger were all that remained in the room.

The two looked at each other silently, the Prime Minister content with his stiff posture while the messenger awkwardly stood in place.

"May I interest you in a game of Sabaac sir?" The Messenger finally asked.

The Prime Minister blinked twice, before a small smirk came upon his features. "Ready the board soldier."

"Satine! Long time no see." Madara greeted with a wry grin, standing down the ramp extended from the Susanoo. Joining him was Naruto of course, the younger Mandalorian flanking his right. Off to the left was IF, the brown haired girl looking around with child-like awe. Blanc opted to remain aboard the ship to oversee the repairs.

Approaching them was Satine, and Obi-Wan, flanked by Satine's guards. Madara rose an eyebrow at Obi-Wan's presence, but otherwise did nothing. "Hello wayward cousin of mine. Been busy I see." Satine greeted neutrally. Her eyes were like a hawk as she surveyed a few dozen of Madara's Assassin Droids carrying various types of equipment back aboard his ship. "I hope you payed for all of that." Satine murmured.

"All paid for I assure you." Madara waved off.

"Quite." Satine deadpanned.

"I get the feeling that you do not believe me." Madara blankly stated with a twitching brow.

"How do I know you didn't you just threaten someone to get those materials free of charge?" Satine glared slightly. Slowly, Madara smugly pointed at Naruto's stoic form, grinning slightly.

"I have a witness."

Naruto rolled his eyes. "Good to see you duchess, and no, Madara didn't threaten anyone."

"I told you I didn't threatened anyone!" Madara stated triumphly. Satine rolled her eyes. She glanced at IF for a moment, and a thin eyebrow was risen only slightly. The duchess of Mandalore looked at Naruto, and a hard look came upon her face. Seeing the hard look on her face made Obi-wan raise a brow. While Madara grinned in amusement.

"Naruto. Come here." Satine firmly ordered, a hard look in her blue eyes. Naruto frowned, looking at his uncle, Satine and the others with an uncomfortable look. Obi-Wan scratched his beard as his eyebrow raised in curiosity at the young Mandalorian. He had never seen such a look on the boy's face. IF wasn't far behind. Once her childlike curiosity had faded, she immediately took note of the uncomfortable look her surrogate little brother had.

She blinked, tilting her head slightly as her emerald green eyes sparked curiously.

"Duchess... Please there is no need for-"

"Come. Here." Satine interrupted, narrowing her eyes as she tapped her foot. Naruto bit his lip as he weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

"Naruto." Satine intoned, an unheard warning in her voice. Naruto sighed in resignation, accepting his fate as he slowly moved towards the Duchess as if walking towards his execution. Obi-Wan blinked as Madara pulled out a holo recorder, the man no doubt recording what was going to happen.

Obi-Wan watched as Naruto suddenly stopped within arms length of Satine. The blond Mandalorian looked as if he was thinking if running was the best option at the moment. He seemed to make a decision, and reluctantly, he crossed the distance between Satine and him. Almost instantly, Satine's arms shot out, her arms circling around the blond, and hugging him close. Obi-Wan was amused to note the blush of embarrassment on the blond's face as he uncomfortably remained in Satine's arms.

IF snickered as Madara snapped a few pictures. The elder Mandalorian smirking as he snapped more pictures of Naruto's embarrassed state. Satine pulled back, looking at Naruto with a keen eye, blue eyes observing him intently.

"Looks like your foolhardy Uncle has been taking good care of you." Satine remarked, pulling Naruto in for a tight hug. Naruto blushed in embarrassment, not used to such open displays of public affection. He glared angrily at IF and Madara as they were snickering. His glare grew ice cold as Obi-Wan openly chuckled.

"Duchess, please stop this." Naruto whined, a hint of pleading in his tone. Satine shook her head.

"No! I never should have let your Uncle claim responsibility over you! Who knows what type of barbaric things he's made you do! You poor thing. You've probably been exposed to so much. Why, I bet my foolhardy cousin even takes you on missions where you're forced to watch him kill!" She cried.

Naruto helplessly looked at IF and his uncle. Pleadingly asking for their help. Madara only snickered and grinned wickedly as he continued recording. IF only shrugged helplessly. Naruto's eyes glinted mischievously... Vengeance...

"Y-Yeah... Uncle made me watch as he brutally murdered a group of pirates..." Naruto said for all to hear. They all saw the vicious smirk on his face before it formed into a tearful expression as Satine pulled back to give him an expression of pure horror. Obi-Wan was disturbed on how such a good actor the blond was, while IF blinked before she grinned slightly. The brown haired girl stepped away from Madara, moving to sit on a stationary crate to enjoy the show.

"Bullshit!" Madara suddenly exclaimed angrily, "That brat is lying! He helped me kill those pirates to dammit!" Naruto increased the waterworks, even letting a tear drop from his eye as he turned away. As if ashamed.

"Please don't be angry Uncle. I promise I'll be good. Just don't hit me anymore." Madara's jaw dropped as he stared in disbelief as Satine made a horrified sound.

"What!?" He screamed in disbelief.

"Madara! How dare you!?" Satine roared, turning to Madara with a fearsome glare as Obi-Wan inched away from the black haired Mandalorian. "How could you do this to such an innocent boy!?" She screamed, glaring at her cousin with a death glare. " I knew it! I knew I should have fought harder over Naruto's custody! I knew I should have never have let you pull the "Kushina would have wanted this" card!" She cried.

"Wha!? But!? He!?"

"Silence!" Satine bellowed, tapping her foot as she glared at Madara. Her hands on her hips as she hissed her next words. "I should have never have trusted you! I knew you would resort to such barbarism! But I had hoped you would prove to be a semi-decent man!" She spat.

Madara could only stare behind his cousin. His nephew staring at him with such a wicked smirk that Madara would have been proud if he wasn't in this situation. Meanwhile onboard the bridge of the Susanoo, Blanc suddenly felt as if she was missing something good. She smirked, idly wondering why she felt the desire to crush Naruto in the tightest hug she could muster. Naruto gave his Uncle a devious grin.

"Vengeance." He silently mouth to his Uncle.

Madara meanwhile fumed slightly, however underneath that he took a large amount of pride to Naruto's devious tactic.

"You know what?" Madara said, his voice deceptively calm. He turned away, tilting his chin up as he did so. "I don't have to take this. I'm going for a walk!" With that said, the elder Uchiha activated the thrusters in his boots. Hitching a ride on a speeder towards the center square of the city.

"Well that was eventful." Obi-Wan casually remarked, approaching the Duchess. Obi-Wan noticed Naruto adopting his usual stoic look, but there was a pleased glint in his blue orbs. Silently IF stood next to her surrogate little brother, silently giving him a high-five. Obi-Wan ignored this.

He had no such desire for Naruto to aim Satine's rage at him. No sir. He preferred staying in one piece thank you very much.

Satine sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "I honestly have no idea what to do with that foolhardy cousin of mine."

"Duchess." Naruto approached, silently giving Obi-Wan a begrudging nod. Obi-Wan nodded in return. He was well aware that the majority of Mandalorian warriors bore an inherent dislike for Jedi. True that because of that dislike, Mandalorian warriors and the Jedi often opposed one another. But there have been instances where Mandalorians would assist the Jedi at times. Obi-Wan was pleased to note that Naruto was one of those who would assist a Jedi. Even if it was reluctantly. It was the thought that counts.

"Yes Naruto?" Satine responded, giving the blond a motherly smile.

"I don't believe it was wise to let Uncle take his walk."

"What's the worst that could happen?" IF asked casually, strolling over to stand next to the blond boy.

"I don't believe we've met." Satine murmured, curiously observing the brown haired girl. IF grinned.

"IF. A gust of beautiful wind that blows through the galaxy." She introduced herself, bowing slightly. She gestured her thumb over to Naruto. "I'm this kid's surrogate big sister after he crash landed on my planet." She pinched Naruto's cheek, earning a fierce glare from the blond. "Aw look at him! Trying to be all intimidating. He's adorable isn't he?" She cheekily spoke, earning a laugh from Duchess Satine.

"Indeed." Satine agreed, "Trying to be like an adult when he's still only a boy." She said, IF letting go of Naruto's cheek as his eyebrow started twitching dangerously.

"Anyways," Obi-Wan interjected, scratching his beard as he spoke. "I'm curious Naruto, why isn't it a good idea for your Uncle to take a walk?"

"The amount of trouble he could cause within that time frame is terrifying." Naruto responded in a deadpan.

Satine waved him off, "Please, I don't doubt my foolhardy cousin can cause such trouble that fas-"

"Um, excuse me Duchess Satine." One of her guards interrupted, "I'm getting a report that lord Madara has just engaged an agent of Deathwatch within center square... Also reports say the agent is dead." There was a hushed silence around the area. Even the Assassin droids who were busy loading cargo onboard the Susanoo froze for a moment.

"Three minutes..." Satine uttered numbly, "He only went on that walk three minutes ago..." She looked at Naruto and IF, a newfound respect in her eyes as she regarded him. "Mandalore bless your courageous souls." Beside her Obi-Wan blinked, comparing Madara to Anakin's trouble seeking ways.

"Force preserve you." He intoned solemnly.

Naruto and IF could only sigh.

Chapter end.

I feel like this chapter could have been better. I had the whole thing planned in my head. I just can't help but feel this could have been better. Anyways, sorry guys but no Omake this time. I am just so tired to write anything funny. Messed up part is that I just can't seem to get to sleep. Anyways, I'm gonna go shut my eyes for a bit. I probably won't get to sleep. But eh, at least its something.
