Naruto and the Lord of the Ring

Darkness creeps its way slowly into the world as evil awakens. Bilbo Baggins has returned to the shire with the One ring. And Gandalf steps foot into the Village Hidden in the Leaf, changing his form to the one he is known best by, Gandalf the Sage Ninja. His beard gone and clothes replaced with the flowing warrior robes of ancient samurai, a shuriken pouch attached to both legs and the symbol of light on etched into the chest plate armor. His black with red flame sleeves hanging over his arms as the blue pants flow around his legs with every movement. He heads towards the Hokage Tower. All ninja who see him bow in respect and stay so until he is gone from their sight.

" HEY OBA-CHAN! WHEN ARE YOU GONNA GIVE US SOEMTHING EXCITING!" Naruto yells at an increasingly angry Tsunade. Before she throws her punch though the door slams open, the Sage Ninja standing there in all his glory. Everyone drops to a knee in respect as he enters, everyone that is except Naruto. "Hey Oba-chan who's this old fart?" Says Naruto, a confused expression on his face. Tsunade starts in sudden fear knowing full well that Naruto is now a dead man for such disrespect, but to her astonishment the Sage ninja looks at him, a strange twinkle in his eye before he busts out laughing. Everyone, but Naruto, now has their jaws laying open on the floor, staring in disbelief.

"Ahhh Naruto-sama, I see old Kyu has left a bit of his personality in you as well heh, maybe your as powerful as you are funny?" The Sage Ninja Questions with a smirk, while flicking Naruto off.

"YOUR JUST AS STUPID AS ERO-SENNIN! I'M GOING TO BE THE NEXT HOKAGE!" Naruto rants as he is held back from attacking the Sage by Sakura and Sasuke.

"Well you'll have your chance to prove it little one, Tsunade-chan, I have come to take Naruto-sama on as my student. He shall learn the old ways and protect someone that is the savior of us all. He will return once all is over, and when he does I will make sure he is worthy of the name Hokage, is such not your wish?" Seeing the happiness and sadness warring in her eyes he knows Naruto is definitely loved, by few yes, but loved all the same." Come Naruto-sama, gather your belongings and come with me. Your training has started, meet me at the gate in 2 mins, or you'll be doing some VERY hard training."

2 hours later……

The Sage Ninja sits in meditation waiting for Naruto still. He finally hears his new student walking and talking to a strange girl, pupils gone and wearing a big heavy coat even though it is almost summer.

"I hope I come home very soon Hina-chan! I will miss all our time training with each other and the fun we have haha!"

"I w-will miss th-them t-to, N-naruto-kun…."Hinata says as she pokes her index fingers together.

"And why will you two miss them?"questions the Sage Ninja, "You are coming with us Hyuuga-san. I have beaten Hiashi-dono in a match where the victor had total control over the loser, you will come with us and he will say nothing about it. I have already prepared your things Hinata-san. Now come you two, we have much work to do on our journey." The Sage Ninja gets up and hands Hinata's pack to her as both she and Naruto stare at him dumbly.

"YES! HINA-CHAN'S COMIN WITH US!" Yells the over reactive blonde Ninja.

"Oh and Naruto?"

"Yes sensei?"

"bakumatsuryu! 1000 steps of might!" Narutos legs suddenly become extremely heavy and he sinks into the ground up to his knees.

"S-sensei! What in Hell is going on Sensei!" Yells a very scared and flustered Naruto.

"Very simple, I have made the weight of your legs 500 pounds each, if you want to stay on top of the ground your going to have to use your chakra to keep you above ground. And before you start grumbling, this is to get you ready for the Shunshin technique, a technique known only by the Fourth, but he taught it to me so that I could pass it on to you." The complaints stopped instantly in Narutos mouth hearing this and he started concentrating on his chakra to try and elevate himself, however it didn't work." Use your other chakra, cause this technique I used also absorbs your chakra, the more you put in the more it absorbs, but it gets filtered back into your body once removed so don't worry."

A slow grin of excitement crosses over Naruto's face, "Yosh! Now I can grow fast and strong! Then Kakashi Sensei will teach me the Chidori!" Yells a now very excited Naruto as he tries to pull himself out of the holes his feet were in. A twinkle glints in Gandalf's eyes as he grabs Naruto by the scruff of his jacket and easily lifts him out of the holes and gently sets him back down allowing him to figure out exactly how much chakra to use."I GOT IT!" Yells Naruto as he successfully starts to walk, verrry slowly, without falling into the ground. Hinata looks on worriedly, until Gandalf turns on her, a mischievous grin plastered on his face.

"Chakra Bind!" Yells Gandalf as he hits Hinata in the middle of her chest, successfully blocking her chakra."Kumetia, Shishong tae! Gravity Increase no Jutsu, G3!" Hinata hits the ground with a thud and groans a little. "And you my dear, are going to start learning to use your bodily strength instead of your chakra all the time. I know Hyuuga fighting style uses chakra to the point were its just downright ridiculous. I have increased the gravity in your own body 3 times normal, meaning you now weigh 3 times your normal weight. Our trip will be 3 months to our destination, then you will be leaving with a group of Hobbits, that's right I said 'hobbits'," he grins as they look at him with awe, things like Hobbits, Elves, and Dwarves were just pieces of legend in their world, but he knew better and he chuckled in eagerness to see what their reactions would be when they met some of these new cultures. "Then we will travel with these hobbits to the home of the elves known as Rivendale. Or as you shinobi Know it, the Village Hidden in the Light. There the fate of the world will be decided, and you two will be an instrumental part of this." They stare at him and try to speak, but are surprised when nothing comes from their mouths. " Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, I placed a silence no jutsu on you, if this is to succeed you two must be able to read the movements and expressions of everyone around you to tell what they are thinking. As such there will be no talking on this trip, you two will learn to read each other and me, and when this is over you will be able to read others just as well. So lets go now!" He waves to them and smiles, their journey beginning at last……..
