A/N I do not own Naruto or Star Wars.

Chapter 2

From that night on Naruto's days were filled with training. He advanced quickly in both the shinobi and jedi arts with a master whose attention was devoted solely to him. Revan was careful to instruct him in meditation and centering himself so that his emotions never ruled him before ever teaching him the offensive uses of a jedi's power. He did not want Naruto to lose himself to his emotions when he was learning how to wield a lightsaber or especially the Force compulsion. Revan knew that Naruto was still angry over how the villagers had treated him and did not want Naruto to lash out at the weak minded villagers. This was not to say that Naruto was without emotions, he was just taught how to use his emotions and not let them use him as so many jedi who had fallen to the dark side had done.

Naruto continued to train in this manner until he was thirteen years old, the age at which he would normally graduate from the academy had he gone. However, as he was learning from a being who'd had literally thousands of years of time to observe and learn the ways of the shinobi he felt no need to enter the academy, something that caused Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage no end of confusion.

FLASHBACK

There was knock at his apartment door, rising out of his meditation pose the now eight year old Naruto went to answer it, revealing an old man who had always been kind to Naruto and was the leader of their village.

"Hello Jiji," Naruto greeted with a small smile.

"Good morning Naruto-kun," the old man replied a kindly smile on his face.

Stepping to the side Naruto invited his self-proclaimed grandfather into his home.

"Thank you," the Hokage said as he seated himself at Naruto's kitchen table. "I am here to inform you that tomorrow you will be starting at the ninja academy."

Due to his jedi training the only indication that the Hokage had that Naruto was surprised was a slight widening of his eyes. "I forgot all about the academy." Naruto said, confusing Sarutobi. "I am sorry Jiji, but I won't be going."

"Why not Naruto-kun? I remember when becoming a ninja was you thought about." Sarutobi said trying to find out why the young boy who had always been so vocal about becoming a ninja and taking over his job.

"It's difficult to explain jiji, but I just don't think I want to do that anymore. I have a new dream." Naruto said calmly, something else which confused the Hokage even more. This Naruto was not the rambunctious little boy that would run about screaming to get attention.

"And what would that be, Naruto-kun?"

"Something that will take me much farther than being a shinobi could." The young jedi-ninja said making no effort to clear up any of the old man's obvious confusion.

From that point on Naruto would answer no more questions about why he would no longer become a shinobi and continued to refuse to join the academy no matter what the Hokage said to try and persuade him.

END FLASHBACK

After his conversation with the Hokage Naruto's training began in earnest, even if it had to conducted in secret so that the Hokage wouldn't find out, no longer did he focus on meditation but on the different forms of martial arts and eventually the katas for how to wield a lightsaber. The reliance on the lightsaber was something that Revan believed was a weakness that jedi could not afford and Revan was deliberate in teaching Naruto how to fight with his hands, feet or any weapon he could find so as not to rely on a lightsaber.

From there Naruto was taught how to wield the Force in an active manner, not just to feel the world around him but to move objects, make himself faster, influence another's mind and even project lightning.

His shinobi training continued in the same manner, he was taught how control his chakra, so that he wasn't throwing too much into any of the minor ninjutsu he learned. His ninjutsu training was somewhat of a disappointment to him as Revan didn't know any true ninjutsu, only how to control chakra directly and use it to manipulate the elements. Any ninjutsu Naruto did learn he either created himself or stole from other shinobi by watching them train.

During all this Revan also trained Naruto how to think and act in a manner that would not escalate the situation, telling Naruto that jedi were supposed to be the peacekeepers of the galaxy, not its warriors. Naruto was also taught how to speak Galactic basic and all of the primary subjects that a jedi padawan would learn.

For Naruto this was a great time in his life and he would have happily continued in this fashion had the Hokage not invited him to the final round of the chuunin exams that would be taking place the next day. While this in and of itself would not have been a major setback or change to his training both master and apprentice could sense that a change was coming soon.

The morning of the exams Naruto rose with the sun sensing that whatever was going to happen today would change the world as he knew it.

"What's troubling you?" his master asked sensing his unease.

"I'm not sure master. Something just feels different today." Naruto replied confessing his unease.

Nodding his head Revan replied "Yes I feel it too. What do your feelings tell you?"

"Only that whatever is going to happen revolves around the tournament today."

"Very good Naruto, you're feelings serve you well." Revan said pleased with his padawan. Reaching into his robes he withdrew a silver cylinder that Naruto knew very well. "I want you to take this with you today."

"But Master that is yours." Naruto said trying to protest. "What if you need it?"

"There is a feeling of great change coming and I believe you will need it today more than I, besides if I have taught you nothing else the lightsaber does not make the jedi, besides I am hardly defenseless without it." Revan replied smiling to his worried student as he continued to hold the weapon out to the boy.

When he still did not take the blade Revan continued, "Naruto, you have learned a great deal in our time together so far and you know as well as I do that nothing happens without a reason. Had you been raised in the Republic you would have already built your own lightsaber. And, you will be at the center of change today, if your feelings are correct, so I believe you will have more need of this than I will."

And with that Naruto finally took his Master's weapon putting it into one of the many concealed pockets in his pants.

"Now I believe you need to center yourself before you leave, your Hokage will be here in a short while to take you."
