AN: I don't own LOTR or Naruto, pointing it out now, also please read the A/N at the bottom too
A shadowy figure stood in the Hokage's office staring at the slowly burning Konoha, tears filling his eyes as he looked out among the fighting wishing he could be out there, but he couldn't. He couldn't move at all. Then a poem came unbidden to his mind and he unconciously started to say it out loud much to the surprise of the ninja holding him paralyzed.
"Where is the horse and the rider?
Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountains,
like a wind in the meadow.
The days have come down in the west,
behind the hills, into shadow.
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood
burning,
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea
returning?
How did it come to this?"
He let the tears fall from his eyes as he was forced to watch his home burn at the hands of those he once thought a brother. Then he felt a surge of strength realizing that he shouldn't be here he should be fighting with his people. He tore out of the jutsu and killed the ninja that had cast the jutsu on him. Then he headed for the Hokage monument where he knew the man was that caused all of this pain.
He reached the top and saw the man there observing the destruction with a sadistic gleem in his eyes, not noticing the Hokage until he started to recite again his opponent reciting with him.
"Where is the horse and the rider?
Where is the horn that was blowing?
They have passed like rain on the mountains.
Like wind in the meadow.
The days have gone down in the west.
Behind the hills, into shadow."
The blond haired man turned as they both finished and looked at the Uchiha the sadistic gleem never leaving his eyes and an evil smirk on his face. Frowning sadly the Rokudaime had one thought through his head as he settled into a fighting stance, 'Naruto, How did it come to this?'
AN: Okay peeps I want to know if you want me to continue this idea, if so then it will start far earlier than the events in this One-shot so you could probably think this as a preview thing if you want me to continue this idea, if so then it will be from Sasuke's {The Uchiha if you couldn't figure it out} point of view observing as Naruto goes down the dark side after a few events that I shall not name, mainly because I still need to think of them.
