Naruto and the Lord of the Rings
Chpt 3
The little group finds themselves in the village of Dupree, after nearly scaring the gateman to death due to a very icy glare from Naruto. The travel up the road to the prancing pony, Naruto doing one hand signs and turning men into women and women into men, watching as they try to hit on th opposite/ now same sex and create very funny circumstances. Frodo laughs along with Sam Merry and Pippin as they watch the confusion and mayhem. They check into the Prancing Pony after Naruto did a henge to scout it out. All he saw was a few people pure hatred and malice in their hearts and one powerful man, maybe even up to the challenge of Naruto. Merry comes back to their table, everyone under henges courtesy of Naruto and Hinata, carrying a pint of beer.
"What is tha Merry?" Pippin asks in awe of the unusual size.
"This, Pippin, is a pint!"Says a very excited Merry.
"They come in pints? I gotta have one!" States Pippin before he heads to the bar, Naruto merrily laughing at the goings on around them and Hinata looking redfaced as a few of the drunken men try hitting on her despite the fact that she made herself warty and huge around her midriff. Naruto snickers at her predicament as his oldman henge, looking strikingly familiar to a certain toad sennin, when he finds himself on the floor from a slap that left quite an impressive redmark. He looks up from the floor into a pair of angry green eyes.
"I FINALLY FOUND YOU! YOU FUCKING BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU LEAVE ME HIGH AND DRY AFTER GETTING ME PREGNANT FOR YOU 'RESEARCH'!" Her face is beet red and steam almost seems to be shooting from her ears. The grown men laugh at him as Hinata stares in amazement, her Naru-kun had a child! "DAMNIT JARAIYA TAKE OF THAT HENGE OR I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU AND TAKE YOUR MAN HOOD AS A TROPHY!" Naruto grins from ear to ear and stands up, brushing dust off his pants.
"I'm not Jariaya, I'm his student though. He's a huge ero-sennin and I can most definitely put you in touch with him mwuahahaaa, I needed something for payback after he forced me to help him with his damn 'research'! Names Marn, and you are?" She stares at him dumbfounded before she begins to blush rapidly. The fact that she had just slapped a completely innocent stranger embarrassing her to no end as she continuously asks for forgiveness. She sits with him and start talking bout all the hell she's been through cause of Jaraiya. Hinata sits by still being hounded by the drunk men, some starting to become violent. Finally she's had enough and stands up, the couple guys around her suddenly starting to argue over which one of them she'd chosen.
"Shut up to fucking pigs!"Her face is now red in anger as she gets into a fighting stance and charges, her motions blurring from sight as she goes through the whole crowd of men around her closing tenketsu's one all of them, before reappearing at her seat and sitting down. 27 men fall down unconscious and Hinata continues to drink her tea.
"What happened to not drawing attention to ourselves Miss Hinata?" Frodo asks, looking around nervously as a few of the remaining men look at her in anger and awe.
"I tried to be patient, if you guys have anything to say about it,"she says turning to the glaring men, "Then I DARE you to come say something about it!"
"Baggins? Yeah I know a Baggins, FRODO Baggins, he's my third cousin, twice removed on me mother's side," Frodo's eyes flash in fear as he stares at Pippin and the men around him, he desperately tries to get to him, calling out for him to be quiet. Hinata and Naruto watch, kunai at the ready as Frodo falls to the ground, source of their current situation suddenly airborne and falling towards Frodo. They see it settle around his finger and stare in amazement as he disappears from sight. Naruto sees the powerful man from before moving towards the now invisible Frodo, but following something seemingly invisible to everyone else. Frodo reappears right as the other man reaches him, but he feels no evil intention from the man so he leaves it be and motions for Hinata to gather the other hobbits. He follows the man and Frodo up the stairs and in to the room unknown to the man.
"Are you afraid little Hobbit?" Asks the man.
"Yes,"states Frodo rather calmly.
"Not nearly afraid enough, I know what follows you, you must be prepared for anything."
"You should as well,"states Naruto as he holds a Kunai to the mans throat.
"Easy friend, I mean none of you any harm. I am an acquaintance of Gandalf the Grey's, he asked me here to help him with the little ones. I am known as Strider." Strider states calmly, amazed when he sees that a mere human child had snuck up on him with the grace of an elf.
"I am known as Kyuubi no Kitsune then if you will not give us a proper name," Naruto says his eyes flashing red for just a few seconds.
"I am No Eyes," sayas Hinata as she enters quietly, three bound and gagged hobbits in tow. " They kept tryin to storm the room hoping to save Frodo." Calmly states a grinning Hinata as she unties the little hobbits. Strider grins, he feels great power from these two, and somehow he KNOWS their good.
Later…..
4 black riders burst through the town gates crushing the gateman. The enter the prancing pony, the cowardly bartender hiding beneath the counter as they pass through. Without a sound they surround the hobbits beds and as one begin slashing into them, feathers fly everywhere as they continuously stab and slash. Their screams can be heard throughout the town as they realize they stab nothing but pillows.
"Not very bright are they?" questions a very amused Naruto as he and Strider stare out the window at the prancing pony, watching the wraiths leave the place and take off on their horses, the fog swirling around them like a evil lover accepting her children back into the darkness.
" They were once men, corrupted by the power of the one ring, they are flawed sort to speak. Evidently they are not as powerful as they once were though if you were abelt o seriously injure one. States strider as he looks at Naruto with a raised eyebrow.
"Eh, they aren't all that strong, I didn't even go full power on him." Gloats the grinning Kitsune.
"Haha, well, whichever the case may be, get some sleep, I shall stand watch, then we will head out at day break, we'll head for Rivendale, hopefully without seeing them again for some time…." Naruto grinned, knowing that with the Hobbits in tow they would probably be seeing a LOT of unnatural things, it seemed to be attracted to them. He leans against the wall sittin on the floor and closes his eyes.
Two days later finds the group camping out in some ruins, Hinata standing guard over the camp, her byukagan activated and Naruto and Strider scouting the area. She suddenly realizes as she turns her head, that the hobbits had set up a fire and she hadn't seen it due to the blind spot. Fear jumps into her gut as she hears a horrifying scream coming from black shadows now making their way towards them, the place surrounded by all 9 of the wraiths.
Shit! she thinks as she rushes to the hobbits and doses the fire with a water jutsu, Fools! You've brought them straight to us!" She says throwing them and their swords strider had given them towards a small alcove that could offer a little extra defense. Her hands are thrown out to the side, each doing their own set of one handed seals before blue chakra surges over her right hand and a dark evil blade seems to appear out of the shadows in her left hand. "Stay here and don't move!" She yells at them as the wraiths appear out of the fog, their dull blades looking menacing and sounding horrible as they slash through the air. Hinata jumps forward her sword blocking an attack before she hits one of them in the chest witht eh flat of her hand, the blue chakra shooting forward like lightning sending the wraith flying. They surround her attacking as one, but she deftly evades them and counterattacks over and over, her battle cry ringing out in the air. Suddenly one of the wraiths is hurled away thanks to a well placed tornado attack known as the Rasengan. It slams the creature into a wall. Hinata stares at Naruto as his pitch black eyes look around.
"You have dared to attack one I care for, now you will all die horribly slow deaths…." His voice sends shivers down Hinata's spine and she watches in amazement as the black sleeveless trenchcoat billows around Naruto's form. His pitch black hair with red tips swirling around his face as a almost blacksih purple aura surrounds his body, a gold fleck appearing here and there in the aura shows that he is indeed in control of this new form. A blood red sword with a black handle appears in Naruto's hand and he dashes forward slashing one of the wraiths threw the waist splitting it in half, a black flame leaves the body but is absorbed in Naruto's body as he breathes it in.
"He just killed and ate the soul of a wraith! And you fought all nine on your own! The hobbits truly have found powerful companions indeed…" States a awed Strider as he helps Hinata stand, her body now exhausted from keeping the two powerful jutsus active so long.
"I've never seen him like this, its almost as if he's evil incarnate!" States a fearful Hinata, tears forming at the bottoms of her eyes.
"His anger and hatred at seeing you under an attack unleashed this power, but I do believe he is in complete control, so do not fear him young one, he still belongs to you." Strider say confidently as Naruto injures 2 more wraiths before they all run, except one now hovering over Frodo, a blade buried in his shoulder. The sound of his agonizing screams brings Naruto to his side instantly and kicks the wraith away who flees after the others. Strider rushes forward and picks up the dropped the blade," He's been stabbed by a Morithorn(?) blade, this is beyond my expertise, he needs elvish medicine." Naruto picks Frodo up and changes into a white and golden version of the other form.
"I have stopped the flow of the poison," he changes back to his original self,"But I could not heal it…." He starts to walk very fast and is followed by the others.
"It's a good 2 days to Rivendale, the block will not hold long, I fear he won't make it!" States Strider, but the tone of his voice and his mannerisms show he's just as determined as everyone else to try. " Sam, do you know the Afalas plant?"
"Afalas?" Sam says, confusion and worry dawning on his face.
"Kingsfoil!"
"Kingsfoil, that's just a weed!"
"It might slow the poisoning, hurry find some." He and Sam hurry into the forest seeking the Kingsfoil. Strider finds some and starts to cut some when a blade is pressed to his neck.
"Whats this? A Ranger caught off their guard?"states a very beautiful elf.
"Hurt him and you will die as well…." States an icy voice coming from Hinata as she holds a Kunai to the elfs throat.
" I do not think so little one, for I had a blade at your heart a sec before you," she grins tapping the blade on Hinata's chest. " I am not here to harm anyone, I have been seeking you for 2 days now Aragorn."
Frodo looks up from the ground as it seems things getting brighter. He sees a beautiful goddess standing before him, calling to him, before his head sinks back to the ground. Pippin and Merry stare at the newcomer.
"Whos she?" Asks an enthralled Pippin.
"She's an elf," states an equally enthralled Merry.
"You have 6 riders behind you Aragorn, where the others are I do not know…" states the elf. Worry creasing her brow as she checks over the Halfling on the ground.
"The two are dead, at least one of the remaining are severly injured, thanks to him," Aragorn points at Naruto as he applies the kingsfoil to the wound. The elf looks up and her face turns to that of pure fear.
"YOU!" She leaps forward, her swrod flashing through the air trying to take Naruto's head. Naruto switches to his gold form, a blade made of pure golden fire blocks the elves blade, almost cutting it in half. "You demon will not harm or steal any of these peoles souls! I shall not allow it!"
"Hey lady! I ain't the damn demon! It's sealed inside me granting me its powers thanks to the same seal!"
"Impossible! No seal is strong enough to hold the vile Lord of Makai! None can withhold Kyusei's power!" Disbelief and anger high on her face as she struggles to overcome the kitsune's golden power.
"I seal using the God of Death's help works on ANYONE!" This statement stops the elf dead in her tracks.
"But that would mean the caster would die! Who would do that?" she pulls her sword away as she sees nothing but sincerity in Naruto's eyes.
"My father, the Fourth Hokage of my village, the Yondaime…." Hinata gasps, she never knew that THAT was Naruto's father. " He sealed the Kyuubi in his own son to save the village he loved above everything else." With a flash Naruto is returned to his normal state.
"I am sorry, I should not have attacked you young one, however now is not the time for talk, I shall take him to Rivendale Aragorn, I can get there in an hour or less."
"No, I should take him, it is to dangerous," he starts to argue.
"No Aragorn, I'm the faster rider, I do not fear them my love," she says the last in elvish and takes frodo up in her arms as she mounts her steed. She takes off, Sam protesting about the riders while Naruto and Hinata share a look. She nods and he grins. Blue aura flares around Naruto and he flashes out of existence, his speed looking like nothing but a blur to Hinata and Aragorn who could see him. Arowyn races towards Rivendale, she feels the poison starting to take affect once more, slowly due to the shield and Kingsfoil, but still taking affect none the less. She senses Naruto behind her, following. Her surprise at his speed is obvious but she concentrates on the task at hand. The black riders appear one by one.
"Keep going, I will hold them off for as long as I can, my earlier battle has tired me greatly or I'd just kill them all right now. Hurry and use what time you can!" Naruto yells at her as he reappears before jumping in the air and letting his feet slam into two of the riders faces knocking them off their steeds, kunais flying at the remaining 4. He throws jutsus repeatedly, every now and then checking on the disappearing form of Arowyn. Juding that they were ata safe enough distance, and his chakra fading fast, he does a kawarimi to avoid the latest attack and throw up a genjutsu around his now tired and bloody body, making him look like another bump on a tree. He watches the wraith stand around screeching for a min before they take off after Arowyn again. Cancelling th jutsu he waits for his friends to find him, a grin of victory pasted on his now sleeping face.
