#you know have the rights to good akatsuki au and just naruto's whole franchise like ON GOD I'm fucking crying

[konohagakureship]

Hey pal, I wanted to ask your thoughts about the konoha and akatsuki shinobi in an star wars!au . Which naruto character would fit into it and why? 😊😊

oh pal… what have you done….

Do you know i have a combat lightsaber?? and that sw is one of my all time fave franchises?? and that i love all the expanded lore (that is not canon anymore, sadly) WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH

Okay so, i’m gonna make the parallels with the Old Republic, bc i think that period had more diversity regarding the “force users” stuff and all the political disputes.

——-

I’m just gonna make it very light bc i’m no expert either but… let’s do this

First of all, i see the Sith and Jedi (or Sith Empire and Jedi Republic) as the same thing but with different politics and approaches to conflict resolution. So none of them are entirely good or bad.

Taking this into account, i would separate the 5 villages by Jedi and Sith. Konoha, Kumo and Iwa would be Jedi Republic. Kiri and Suna would be Sith Empire. 

Again, this doesn’t mean they are good or bad, but that their politics are more like Sith: “doing bad things for what we think is the greater good even if they are really bad things is okay” or Jedi: “doing bad things even if it’s for the greater good is not okay (but only if they come out to the public light, ofc we can do fucked up shit in the shadows)”.

So the konoha 12 would be padawans or members of the Jedi Republic.

What about Sasuke? 

Well, Sasuke would have a developement similar to Anakin’s or Revan’s. He, disenchanted by the way the Republic handled things and how much the Jedi wronged him and his family, would decide to take the opposite path and become a Sith (and bare the hatred of the entire world and rule it from the shadows so the history won’t repeat itself again or something like that (that’s what he said when he said he wanted to be hokage. That’s a very Sith thing to say imo)).

And he will gather a crew of other disenchanted misfits (team taka) to be gay and do crimes across the galaxy.

Then, Orochimaru would not be a Sith or a Jedi, but something in between. He ofc leans more to the Imperial side, but is still too autonomous and resourceful to swear loyalty to the Empire. So he’s just a dark sided force user. He sure have MANY holocrons from both sides.

Then, if the sith and jedi are already taken, what about the “bad guys”?

Well, imo the Akatsuki are pretty similar to the Revanites. A bunch of powerful renegades (and a bit brainwashed) from both sides that fight to tear down the status quo, and believe that the only way to bring balance to the force is to destroy both Jedi and Sith.

Like in canon, not all the Akatsuki members are fully on board with the “big plan”, but they stay loyal to the cause more or less. 

Kisame would be a Sith disenchanted by the lack of honor an respect for the code of his superiors. Itachi would be a fucked up Jedi that wants to believe he is doing the right thing but uuh… well. 

Kakuzu would be a Sith fallen from grace. He stayed loyal to the code and fought for his order, but they ultimately betrayed him. Hidan would be a Jedi that from the start felt attached to the dark paths of the force, and ultimately fled his order. Or maybe Kakuzu was a fallen Jedi and Hidan a Nightbrother?

Sasori would be a Sith that thought of himself as being above the code, for his order was too bland and too unworthy of his potential. Deidara would be a Jedi that also disregarded the code in order to unleash his powers.

Yahiko, Konan and Nagato would be like Darkspanner, the sith lord that founded the Revanite Order (after she found old records of the infamous first-Jedi-then-Sith Revan) to bring balance to the force and apply Revan’s doctrine. 

Later on, Revan comes back from the stasis and appropriate the Order and integrates Republic members to it (and turns it into a cult of fanatics).

This is a bit similar to what Zetsu/Tobi do when Yahiko dies. They take over the organisation (in the shadows) and turn it into something else, more dark-sided.

Though Zetsu and the Otsutsuki would be more similar to the Rakata, a technologically-advanced extinct civilization that were corrupted by the dark side and enslaved the whole galaxy. They will try to make a comeback in numerous occasions, but will always fail (like the Otsutsuki).

I would like to include the Mandalorians as well (as i like them very much) but rn i don’t see how they would fit with the narutoverse. Maybe the first Akatsuki were a Mando order??

——-

Ofc this is very inaccurate and the lore of the Old Republic and the Revanites is way more complex, but more or less this is how i would hc the konoha and akatsuki shinobis in a star wars au!

I hope you like my answer!! :D
