There is a big council meeting as the entire jedi council now sees Naruto's real face they have been interrogating him for hours trying to find out who and what he is but he has dodged every question the more they try to dig into who he is the angrier he gets Yoda says that anger is a path to the darkside Naruto laughs so hard that his ribs hurt then he says that only applies to you amateurs as you all act like emotions are things to be afraid of you all remind me of someone from my home town Mace Windu asks how's that Naruto says he was a warhawk he loved war and trying to take over the world but even more he believed that warriors would be better off without any emotions at all like a droid.
Hearing this makes the council flinch as they are kind of preaching that very same philophecy without even realizing it Mace Windu says we can table this discussion for another time but please answer the most important question of ours why did you feel the need to hide your true face as well as your true name Naruto says that's easy I didn't trust anyone I barely have since I've been born it's how I've survived up until now they sigh then let him go Mace Windu stops him from leaving then says Naruto we have 8 years until the war starts to prepare so you can do anything you want in that time train Anakin or do anything else Naruto says have Anakin take the trials he's ready then have him train with Quigon for 4 years they nod also send Obi Wan and who else you think needs it to the military academy that Anakin went to then after 4 years have passed send Anakin to Officer school as well as the rest of the jedi that you feel are ready for this.
They nod he leaves the temple heads for Hoth grabs his Mandalorian armor puts on the cest plate under his jedi robes as well as well as the rest of the armor but not the helmet he's done hiding who he is after that he heads straight to Kamino the Prime Ministor is shocked to see him not only that but to see him carrying two weapons a lightsaber and a real sword on his belt Naruto goes to the meeting room that they talked in before then says we have lots to discuss the Prime Ministor narrows his eyes but doesn't say anything Naruto reads his thoughts then says listen up because I'm only going to say this once I don't care what secret agenda you have going on with the chancellor or why he's starting this war behind everybody's back.
I'll keep the secret hell I'll pretend like this day never happened but know this if my war gets canceled because of you two I'll kill your entire species and I'll kill him next the prime Ministor scoffs then says you may be able to kill us but lord Sidious is beyond even your powers jedi Naruto laughs then says I may dress like one but I'm no jedi I couldn't careless about the sith or jedi's goals or who even wins this war as they will all lose he asks what do you mean Naruto says by the time I'm done everyone will be begging to join my side I've been negelecting my blade for far too long and soon I will quench it's thirst with oceans of blood just like I used to do when I was younger.
Nala Se enters the room cutting off the conversation she asks is there anything we can do for you master jedi Naruto relaxes as he can tell that she knows nothing he motions for her to move next to the Prime Ministor then looks both of them in the eye he asks how long does it take for your clones to reach adult hood and finish the academy so that they can learn how to be soldiers Nala Se says typically 1 year altogether Naruto nods then asks how many men are ready for advanced training Nala Se says 900,000 but that total is not for you to have your army is only going to have 90,000 while everyone else is going to have 1 million troops Naruto nods then asks are my 90,000 ready yet she says yes they are but a jedi master Shakti sent me here to speak with you as she arrived 10 days before you did.
Naruto leaves with Nala Se but the Prime Minister stops her he tells her to try and seduce their new guest she's shocked but obeys she goes out of the room escorts Naruto to Shaakti's quarters Nala Se waits outside of the room Naruto enters Shaakti is shocked to see his true face but doesn't say anything as she was told by the council about it she asks what are you doing here Naruto says I came to inspect my men see how well they have been trained and train them myself in warfare not just how to fight and die but how to survive this war she sighs then says the war isn't for 8 years and they have already been trained the only reason I'm here is to protect this place Naruto scoffs then says how weak minded of you it's easy to see how the jedi have become blind in these times of peace.
With that he storms out of the room Nala Se takes him to his men she doesn't even say anything to him he turns to her then asks what's the hardest training course that you have she says the Citadel he says have them do it on the hardest level I want to see what they can do she nods in defeat as no one but Jango Fett has ever beaten that before she takes him to the observation platform then heads to the clones who are assigned to him she sees them getting all excited about their new jedi general she sighs then when they see her approach they straighten up and line up like soldiers she smiles at how they show her respect she goes to the podium in the room turns on the microphone then says my friends I have some good news and some bad news for you which would you like first?
The leaders of them Cody and Rex step forward Cody says lets hear the bad news first Nala Se says 90,000 of you are redoing the Citadel agin on the same level the your donor Jango Fett struggled to beat right before he helped us create your training program this sends a shiver through all of the clone's spines Rex asks what's the good news Nala Se says those same 90,000 are going to get a jedi to lead them the reason for this test is because he wants to see how hard to push you when he trains you personally or so he told me this confuses the clones Cody asks why would he need to train us Nala Se says don't repeat what I'm about to tell you as I overheard him tell this to another jedi but his exact words were "I'm going to train them myself to be more than soldiers who follow orders and who do nothing but fight and die I'm going to train them to be warriors who fight for what they believe in who fight for their brothers who fight for their families I'm going to teach them to survive this war".
Upon hearing this every clone has a fire in their eyes as if something deep inside of them has been awakened Nala Se has no idea what she's seeing but the hidden clone of Naruto does he dispels making the original smirk his chosen go through the Citadel and conquer it like they did when it was on their graduation test Naruto was very impressed with them Shaakti couldn't believe what she just witnessed as no one not even the bounty hunters has managed to pass the hardest level before with that Naruto leaves he takes his men to get them ready he sees that they can paint their armor to anytjing he wants he chooses burnt orange with an Uzumaki spiral on their helmets the color will be striped all over their armor but for now he has them use Phase 1 armor that's super bulky and heavier than regualr armor for both Phases as he wants to train them and make them faster stronger and better than every other regiment he also has them grab practice blasters until they tell him that their regualr ones can be set to stun he nods then has them do that he also has them grab flash bangs and smoke grenades so they don't hurt each other.
Once they are fully equipped and ready to go they leave for planet Mercury the closest planet to the Sun, is a small, rocky, and heavily cratered world with a thin exosphere, extreme temperature variations, and a surprisingly large core due to its proximity to the Sun, Mercury experiences extreme temperature swings, with daytime temperatures reaching scorching highs and nighttime temperatures plummeting to frigid lows Mercury has a very thin exosphere, which is a tenuous outer layer of gas that is not a true atmosphere the surface of Mercury is heavily cratered, a result of countless impacts from asteroids and comets over billions of years Mercury has a surprisingly large core, making up about half of the planet's volume, and scientists believe part of the core is still molten despite having a weak magnetic field, Mercury's magnetic field interacts with the solar wind, sometimes creating intense magnetic tornadoes water ice is found in permanently shadowed craters near Mercury's poles Mercury's color is actually light gray, not yellow or red as it is often depicted.
They land on Mercury they land their ship in a crater big enough to hide it but not big enough to devour it also they park away from the molten core of the planet the arrive during the day it's 80 degrees F during the day and at night it's -29 degrees F also during the day there's no wind at all but during the night there's tornados of wind and ice swirling around the planet Naruto sets up camp and has them get aquanited with their home for the next 8 years he makes a special training field so that they can redo all of their training just under intense gravity then he sets up obstacle courses weight room living quarters target practice dojo trap making poison and medicine class pilot's class /mechanic's class and finally stealth class for those who want to do covert missions.
he lets them get set up for the day and get settled in so they can relax instead of putting them through hell the day that they get here the next day he stands on a podium waiting for them to finish breakfast they all stand at attention awaiting his orders he turns on the microphone then says I'm only going to say this once those who want to drop out now or transfer to another do so now as I'm warning you I'm not like the other jedi who play by the rules or even go a little outside of them whatever codes of conduct you were taught whatever rules and regulations were crammed into your heads forget them if you choose to stay know this I will put all of you through hell so much so that you will hate me not even halfway through it but i promise that once your training is complete you will be the best company in the clone army.
Naruto says you all have 1 hour to think about it but remember once the deadline has passed you're either staying going back to Kamino or transferring to another company so think wisely about your decision he turns off the mic then leaves to go explore the rest of the camp an hour later Naruto comes back he asks well what have you decided one steps forward he turns to them they nod at him he says we all decide to stay Naruto smiles then says good but I warn you whatever training you've done before now is child's play by comparison they don't flinch he has them put on their heavy suits then has them go in the weight room while wearing it so he can weigh them they do so he sees that each suit combined with their weight is 300 pounds he triples that weight when he gives each of them new weight suits to wear that looks like their regular suits that they wear under their armor just weighted down.
Naruto tells them after they get changed and makes the adjustments that these suits not only will help with the extreme temperatures on this planet but also weigh 900 pounds once you all get used to it I'll triple your training they sigh hoping that he's kidding but they can see that he's not for now he just has them do regular exercises to get used to the weight it takes them a few months but they do it next he has them workout in the weight room to build up their speed and strength he has them start at zero weight and work their way up all they can lift due to the weight already on their bodies is 90 pounds that includes with their legs once that's done he has them do the obstacle course it's the same as the one the army does at boot camp.
except that he times them each person has it done in 7 minutes flat he smiles at that next he has them take the trap making course it teaches them how to use their enviornment to trap their enemies if they have no ammo or grenades he gives them a crash course on it and teaches them how to do it they dig a trench and make rock spikes they cover it up with dirt Naruto nods they also just dig a square hole that's 4 feet wide but they hide it so that it looks like it was always there Naruto says good next thing he teaches them is what plants are poisonous and what are medicinal for those who wants to be medics he evn gives them a book on what plants are edible it also tells them what animals that they can't eat on every planet he says don't worry about reading these books as none of those plants will be on this planet I just wanted to give you them so that you'll be prepared for when we're in the field.
They nod next he has them do pilots class to learn how to fly bombers star fighters and gunships he teaches everyone this once they get the basics down Naruto hops in his jedi starfighter sets the blasters for stun so that it fires orbs of stun rounds that will freeze the ships he has two at a time fly aginst him each one fails but once they get better he has them go aginst each other until they can be just as good with gunships once done he uses the manuals to destroy ships from each kind and has them learn how to fix it up like new once they learn to do that he has them do target practice the difference is that the later ones are moving targets their final test is that they are sent into a warehouse with moving wooden targets their targets are droids while the ones that they don't shoot are civilians of various races.
They complete the training course but they have to redo their target practice training several times as each and everyone has shot a civilian target in their final test despite the irriatation in having to redo their target practice they understand why he has them do it once that is done Naruto says I'm proud of you men so far you have done everything I've told you to do and have exceeded my expectations however for those wishing to be snipers your target practice training is only half over 100 raise their hands Naruto nods then takes them to the sniper's course that he set up he does the same for those who wish to be on covert ops he does the same for those who want to be demolition experts those he seperated he has them playing video games that focus on those aspects for snipers he has them play and arcade sniper game for stealth he has them play assassin's creed Tenchu Thief Hitman and Metal Gear Solid in VR for the Demolition's expert he has them play Medal of Honor and Call of Duty in VR.
The rest of them he takes them to the gravity training area he begins teaching them martial arts Mandalorian Core emphasizes threat neutralization, simultaneous defensive and offensive maneuvers, and aggression. The Form is known for its focus on real-time situations and its brutally efficient counter-attacks. Derived from primal street-fighting skills taught to Mandalorians at a young age, it has since been refined for civilian, police and military applications.
At its highest level, 'Core is most widely known for its use by Clone Troopers during the Clone Wars. While less disciplined than the Imperial Martial Arts System's rigid approach to training soldiers, 'Core excelled in lateral flexibility across unconventional battlefields. The style has remained popular for both its historical grounding in Mandalorian culture, and its effectiveness in adapting to unpredictable scenarios.
Mandalorian Core borrows from a lot of other Martial Arts Forms, so the stance can vary depending on the situation. The most common stance has both hands up and in front of the body at chin level so that the practitioner can protect their face without blocking their eyes' lateral vision. Elbows get tucked in protectively over the ribs and the knees bend ever so slightly as the practitioner looks to always stay on the balls of their feet. A stable center of balance allows for attacks to be launched swiftly while similarly providing the ability to counter from any direction an attacker might take.
Strikes look to target the body's more obvious points of vulnerability--eyes, neck, solar plexus, groin or anything that could be hit to quickly end an engagement. Countering is just as important as attacking, with some techniques built into the Form designed to seek out and intercept an opponent's limbs before they can deliver their strikes. A practitioner keeps their head on a swivel, always maintaining awareness of their surroundings while tracking threats in order to look for escape routes, further attackers, or objects that could be used to defend or help attack.
The Imperial Martial Arts System (IMAS), was universally taught throughout the armed forces of the Galactic Empire. Stormtroopers and officers alike were trained in IMAS for its disciplined approach to effective close quarters engagements. Simple and easy to teach to a large group of trainees at once, IMAS is a system primarily oriented around weaponry. Unarmed movements typically mirrored the movements of weaponry that the practitioners were already being trained to fight with. One of the first lessons of IMAS is that a downward diagonal strike or thrust is the same regardless of whether it is a stick, knife, or empty hand.
IMAS' favored tactic is "defanging the serpent." The focus of the practitioner's strikes are directed at the opponent's extended limbs, rather than trying to push through a frontal guarding of the face or torso. This philosophy has become popular with police and military forces for its tendency to help quickly prevent the escalation of violence by ending a fight quickly and effectively.
The hands are held at chest height, ready to deflect and parry incoming attacks at their extension points. Utilizing triangular footwork, the practitioner will choose to advance or retreat at a diagonal to one's opponent in an attempt to disorient opponents that are acclimated to more headlong melee. IMAS practitioners therefore appear to zig-zag randomly as they close for the kill or step aside to dodge a blow.
IMAS practitioners turn their body into attacks with the winding from the previous strike flowing into another strike in rapid succession. IMAS stylists will often strike attacking limbs and weapon hands to cripple them while either parrying or evading the attack. Typical strikes include basic punches, kicks, knees and elbows, but also standard joint locks. Most of the focus in IMAS is incorporating weapons into the patterns.
He combines both styles into one and has them learn it once they do that they practice with each other not realizing that the whole time that they've been training under intense gravity once that is complete he does the same with the rest of them once they pass their final tests after that he takes off their suits then has them brave the elements of the planet with an oxogen tank for a full month wearing only shorts he teaches all of them a technique to keep themselves warm which takes all of the strength that they have aquired and turns it into energy to keep themselves warm when he tells them that it's a force technique taught to younglings they freak out Naruto says relax everyone is force sensitive not just Jedi or Sith besides you all won't be able to use this technque for more than a few hours a day anyway.
They do as he tells them to do and just like he predicted it only lasts them 3 hours a day so they decide to stretch it so that it lasts all night and because during the day it's not so bad outside it's at night where things take a turn for the worst they pass the exercise what the clones don't know is that the entirety of their training only took 4 years to complete it just felt like it took 400 to them because of what they went through Naruto packs everything up while they put things away he seals it all into scrolls then they get onto the ship Ct-9498 ' Han' asks where are we going general Naruto says to have some fun for a little while then I'll have everyone redo their martial arts training and their target practice training so you all don't get rusty.
They leave Mercury with no destination in mind meanwhile during the time that Naruto was training the clones Anakin was being trained by Quigon but his sparring partner wasn't Quigon instead it was Quinlin Voss both young jedi needed the training and Anakin took him through each of the 3 training exercises that Obi Wan did with him the final one is one that Quigon thinks that they are ready for after doing all of the obstacles courses and training with the droids for Quinlin Voss his sith adversary is Darth Maul for Anakin his is Count Dooku all they can learn from these droids is how the person fought not what force powers they had they occasionally switch targets so that they can up their skills.
Once Quigon thinks that they are ready with their hybrid styles Quinlin Voss's Form 4 mixed with form 5 Shien and Anakin's Form 5 mixed with form 6 Faalo's cadences a series of lightsaber training techniques developed by the famed Jedi Master, Vo'ren Faalo. In each of Vo'ren Faalo's cadences, the primary practice is to stand in a circle of candles with ball bearings atop them, and attempt to strike the ball bearings without hitting the candles. As the duelist proceeds through each of the cadences, the number of candles would be incrementally increased until the fifth, where the duelist will have achieved such a state of mastery that the candles are unnecessary, as the duelist will simply know when he has performed the sequence correctly.
It takes 2 years for Anakin to complete this exercise while Quinlin Voss fails to do so after a total of 4 years have passed Anakin is sent back to the military academy to do his officer training Quinlin Voss just goes through the basic soldier one jedi like Kenobi windu Plo Koon Rahm Khota Jaro Topal Kit Fisto Ki Adi Mundi went through both schools while the rest just went through the first one once Anakin got there windu and Rahm Khota became his class mates the first year is just going over what the first school taught you for those who have been away for years like Anakin he picked it up rather quickly surprising the two elder jedi as he had relearned everything in 6 months the teacher started him on Officer school at that point except this one is different it teaches different subjects:
History of Galactic Warfare
Strategy
Swordsmanship/other weapons
how to shoot a blaster and use grenades
Splicing/hacking
Pilot/mechanic
Survival/Stealth
The jedi learned everything in 3 years while everyone else was struggling to learn everything the teacher had one final test for the jedi should they go to war he set up a droideka for them to roll their grenades past the shield it took them the rest of the 6 months to complete it the reason being is that they didn't use the force even though they really wanted to but their teacher said that due to them being jedi it was unfair if everyone else took the exam and couldn't use the force so they agreed to not use it after they graduated Windu takes Anakin to his private quarters in the temple they sit down in chairs and Mace makes sure that they aren't over heard by placing a ray shield over his room so only they can hear each other.
Mace asks what do you know about your master Anakin says less than you do all I know is everything he taught me I still don't understand why he wouldn't trust me with the truth Mace says it wasn't just you he didn't trust the entire universe with seeing his visage in fact he's been hiding it for as far as we've been able to find out today makes 90,000 years since he hid his face Anakin whistles then says that's impressive I honestly wonder how old he really is Mace says as old as space travel itself Itself at least that's what he told us though we still don't know what he means by that Anakin gasps in shock then says that means he saw when man first went into space.
Anakin asks so why are we talking about this it's not like I know anymore than you do Mace sighs then says i'm just now finding that out I thought as his apprentice you would know more than what you do but I guess not oh well I'll just find some other way of gathering information on him meanwhile back with Naruto and his men clone force 900 he takes them to Coruscant to learn pod racing in the lower levels he also teaches them how to gamble and how to spot when someone is cheating them or when someone is trying to kill them or even if someone is hiding a weapon the last thing he teaches them or has the criminals teach them is how to pick pocket and how to pick a lock each different type of criminal teaches them everything they know the reason is that they were paid to not only that but he takes them to Tattoine to have them trained by bounty hunters.
Once they get there just like with the criminals they get taught several skills tracking hunting survival in the desert how to ride various animals and how to hunt bounties without getting caught by other newbie hunters they get trained up to mid-level bounty hunters they were trained the same way as the criminals only mid-level because that's all that Naruto paid for and he doesn't want them to specialize in one or the other he wants them to be unpredictable and unbeatable after that he takes them to the pod racing on Mos Espa this time instead of borrowing someone else's they have to build one from scratch he tells them that it's their final lesson he gives each one a computer that has several different pod racing models and schematics so they get to building they build each racer from the Phantom Menace.
After that they take turns racing against each other once everybody has finished Naruto gets a call from Anakin telling him to come back to the Jedi Temple he gathers up his men and they head back to Coruscant his ship arrives in a couple of hours instead of a couple of days as Naruto made sure to buy the best parts that he could for it through the black market then he altered them so they weren't dangerous and combined the illegal parts with the stock ones he also did the same with the ship he bought he merely combined them together his ship maybe heavier but his armor is 9 times stronger than regular star cruisers or destroyers not too mention that he made it bigger on the inside as well.
Naruto parks at the hangar of the Jedi Temple everyone is shocked to see how massive his ship is once his men go to headquarters to rest and report in to those in charge also to recieve an admiral to serve on their ships speaking of the military is checking out Naruto's ship and they are shocked at the modifications on it almost like he prepared it for a siege everything has been upgraded better than every other ship in the fleet they wonder how he did it but they don't touch anything else as a security system becomes active warining them not to go any further or be detained for treason if caught they will be executed without trial that makes them shiver upon reading that they flee the ship along with all of their men and equipment.
Naruto chuckles Anakin asks what's so funny Naruto says just getting rid of some vermin who thought that they could hijack my ship and the tech that I used to upgrade it Anakin nods they make it to the council chamber Naruto can read their minds he grabs the doors off the hinges and chucks them behind him shocking those inside Naruto walks inside causing small foot sized craters with each step making them gulp he reaches the center of the room then says you all have 5 seconds to explain why you authorized my ship to be searched beofre I kill all of you for treason espionage and attempted theft of property.
Windu narrows his eyes then says you can't do anything to us we're the council besides we all are better than you as we trained you in being a jedi Naruto laughs so hard that his ribs hurt then wipes a tear from his eye he says honestly I didn't need training from you I could have just stolen what I wanted for myself and none of you would be able to stop me Windu says yes we can we are much more powerful than you Naruto smirks then says you have no idea what I'm capable of i've held back my true power so I don't kill everyone in this building but if you want to challenge me fine we can do that I'm sick of hiding my powers anyway.
