Uzumaki Naruto was not a happy child. No one would have realised it with the wide smile that generally adorned his face. However, this smile was a false front, that hid his loneliness and pain. And of course, his hate. He wanted them to suffer. Therefore, the Kyuubi was glad to have the boy as his vessel. Hate was something he could work with. Something that he could use, just like he had all those years ago, as Sauron in Middle Earth.

Sasuke was dead. He had died in front of Naruto, protecting him from Haku's barrage of senbon. While Naruto had never been particularly close to his teammate, he felt rage against the masked ninja in front of him. And with rage came the red chakra of the Kyuubi, intertwined with the magic of Sauron.

On Naruto's right hand, there appeared a ring on the finger, the One Ring. In his left hand, he wielded the mace, Grond, forged by the First Dark Lord, Morgoth. He was clothed in a dark armour, forged in Mordor.

With a swing of the hammer, the icy walls surrounding him were shattered. Haku went flying through the air. He flipped on to the bridge, panting with exertion. He was given no time to rest, as Naruto seized him by the neck, and slammed him down on the ground, breaking his spine. Again and again, the boy was slammed into the ground, until he was finally dead. Then, he turned to Zabuza.

The swordsman felt a sudden chill run down his back, as Naruto walked steadily towards him. Even Kakashi stared in awe at the towering figure that his student had become. The armoured figure raised his hammer dramatically, and slammed it down on Zabuza, who rapidly rolled out of the way. He then swung his own weapon into the armoured figure. Naruto merely grabbed it, and attempted to punch Zabuza. The former mist ninja rolled away, and formed a few hand seals. "Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu". As a massive water dragon crashed into the figure, the swordsman smirked. His eyes then widened in disbelief, as the figure was completely unaffected.

He hardened himself, and created a thick mist, obscuring everyone's visibility. Silently, he snuck up to the powerful being. He was shocked as the figure grabbed him by his neck. Then he didn't think any more.

Meanwhile, Kakashi had gotten out of his shock. He could not understand how the academy's dead last suddenly became so powerful. His musing were stopped as Sakura gave a cry of joy to see her beloved Sasuke get up. At the same time, a hundred thugs came to fight for the bridge. Leading them, was Gato. Kakashi prepared to fire off some ninja techniques, but his armoured student intervened. He closed his eyes, and then opened them. "Eye of Sauron", he whispered, as his eyes glowed with a red fire. The thugs at the front fell over screaming, with Gato screaming the loudest. Then, the next row fell over, like a stack of dominoes, screaming themselves to death. Under his helmet, for the first time in many years, Uzumaki Naruto smiled.

However, he was confused, because he had no clue as to where he got this armour, and such a badass hammer. Not to mention his precious ring. The being inside home answered his unspoken questions. "Mortal, it is I the Nine-Tailed Fox who has gifted you with these. I will transfer some of my memories to you now to explain. I am sorry for the headache you will now receive. Actually I am not."

With this tacit explanation, a burst of chakra entered Naruto's brain, and he collapsed to the ground. His hammer and armour both disappeared. Only the ring remained. Kakashi knelt down beside his student. On his left hand, he discovered a fiery red eye.

AN: this is my first crossover, I know it's kind of bad, but it'll hopefully get better soon
