Naruto and the Lord of the Rings

Chpt 6

Hinata stands in a green pasture, the sun permanently placed in the setting position on the edges of her world. Before her stood a 8 tailed wolf, her golden fur shining in the setting suns light. Her eyes are filled a motherly passion to protect her cubs.

"Hello little one, we finally meet young Hyuuga." The wolf states, her eyes crinkled in kindness and a small smile formed on her wolfish lips.

"W-Who are you?" Hinata looks at the wolf demon with a look of wonder and confusion.

"I am the wife of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, my name is Jira, the eight tailed demon wolf. I searched for my mate for 5 years after he was sealed into Naruto-kun. When I found him I tried to find a way to be with him again. That's where you come in my little one." The wolf demon smiles her motherly smile again and sends and image to Hinata, a memory lost to her. The back ground fades and is replaced with her huddling in a corner, frozen in fear as her kidnapper from years ago stares at her with malicious intent.

"I don't need you alive Hyuuga-sama, only your corpse. So now you have to die." His hand flashes forward and blood splatters across her wall, her wide shock filled eyes fade into death as the blood pours from her throat. Everything is dark till a golden shine cuts before Hinata's eyes.

"Hello little one."

"Who are you?" Hinata asks.

"That is not important right now little one. You have died, but I bring a ray of hope for you. I will give you life, and when you're ready you will have full access to my memories and power. All I ask in return is to live on in your soul, to watch you grow and become strong. What is your answer?" The wolf nudges Hinata's face with her muzzle.

Hinata barely thinks before answering, "I choose life, I do not wish to make my precious ones sad because of my passing. I accept your offer." Hinata's tone is firm, her spirit a lot more bold and confident than her outside appearance gave credit for. She blushes for an instant, "Plus, I have seen some of my future in this place between life and death, and I want the opportunity to be with Naruto-kun." With another flash of golden light, Hinata opened her eyes to see her crying father slamming his jyuuken hand into her kidnappers chest. He picks up her body and cries over it.

"I'm so sorry Hinata, I wish I could have told you how much I love you my little one. Now its too late, I've lost you forever…" Hiashi's tears fall on his daughters face.

"O-oto-san, why are you c-crying?" Hiashi stares in amazement at his daughter. Not even a scar is left on her skin as he begins crying in happiness trying to figure out what was going on.

"Thank kami-sama, however this is possible thank you!" The back ground fades out again and Hinata turns back to Jira.

"How come I don't remember this?" Hinata says, confusion written all over her face.

"I blocked it out till you were ready. Now, I have come to begin to do my part of the agreement.. You have awakened my power on your own, and now its time to begin giving my power to you voluntarily. You can handle 3 of my tails right now, one day you will be able to handle all of it. Now go little one, be with both of our loves, I will be in the back of your mind, from now on we will be able to converse and I will pass you some advice little one." Two of her tails reach forward and gently lift her up and throw her into the world of the conscious. She grins as her tails sway back and forth behind her. Soon my love, we will be together again. If not ourselves then through our containers.

Hinata opens her eyes and stares into the face of her beloved. They lay there on top of the covers, limbs twined together in happiness. She glances down at their clothes and is shocked to realize they were lying in the bed cuddling, in blood soaked clothes. To her immense surprise a tail reaches out from behind her and swipes over her and Naruto, and the blood is completely gone as if it had never been. Naruto yawned and opened his eyes, blinking at the sudden brightness of morning. He looks into the lavender eyes of his true love Hinata and sighed.

"I wish this dream could go on forever…" He smiles sadly, knowing that Hinata didn't love him and that he was merely dreaming. Dreaming that she stared into his eyes lovingly, dreaming that she had a beautiful silver tail twined around his dark red tail while his other tail wrapped around her waist. Dreaming that she was speaking to him…

"It's not a dream my love, and yea, we have tails if you haven't already noticed." Hinata giggles as she sees the color drain from his face as the sentence finally clicks into place in his head. The he stares in amazement as he realizes Hinata's got a tail!

"How did you get a tail Hina-chan!" Naruto practically screams as he gently strokes her tail with one of his own without thinking.

"I died when I was kidnapped Naru-kun, Kyuubi-sama's mate fused with me to save me." A tear forms at her eyes as the sacrifice Jira made finally hits home.

"It's ok Hina-chan, Kyuubi and Jira will be together now through us, and we will be together forever. I promise you my love, I will not let anything happen to us, you have my word, and I never go back on my word." He gives her his trademark foxy grin and she smiles at him, her silent tears trailing down her cheeks.

"Ano, Naru-kun, how did you know her name was Jira?" She looks at him confused.

"Kyuubi and me are starting to merge completely, from our understanding I will get all of his techniques, power, and strength, and he will become a permanent voice in my head givin me advice from his own experiences. Even his memories, to a point, are merging with mine giving me all the knowledge he's accumulated through his millions of years of existence," he laughs a little bit and winks at Hinata. "I believe your going to get the same thing goin with you shade of my heart, then you'll realize why I've been blushing so much lately."

"What do you mean?"

"Kyuubi has been purposely showing me what him and Jira did as mates, only he sometimes alters the memories to resemble me and you doin the act they did. Needless to say its VERY embarrassing heheh!" Hinata blushes a brilliant crimson as she finally realizes what he said.

At the gates to Rivendale humans, elves, and dwarfs begin to arrive, the gathering of the races of the land to decide the fate of Middle Earth. Elrond looks down on the newcomers from his balcony, his faith in men a little stronger thanks to the accomplishments of the first selfless humans since old days. The two ninja have shown such generosity and compassion to rival or even surpass the days of old.

"Maybe the world of men is not as doomed as I previously thought. Only time will tell what their fate shall be…" Turning he walks towards the meeting that would decide all the fate of Middle Earth.

"I have called you all here to decide the fate of Middle Earth. I sure all of you have felt a darkness creeping into this world. The forces of Mordor are gathering and war has come. Yet there is some hope in this time of need, the One Ring has been found," Elrond turns and looks at Frodo, "If you please Master Hobbit." Frodo stands up and places the ring on the pedestal in the middle of the gathering. Everyone begins muttering as they look at the ring. Frodo secretly hears dark chanting begin as he sees everyone fighting in the reflection of the ring. Naruto and Hinata sit by watching as arguments erupt between everyone but them, Frodo, and Elrond. Naruto's face grows darker and darker as he can't believe the stupidity going on around him. He stands up, seeing the distress beginning to play on Frodo's face. Hinata senses her loves chakra beginning to pull in on itself, and she's confused on what he is about to do. He stands next to the podium with the ring on it when his heads snaps up, his eyes a brilliant shade of blood red. Huge amounts of red chakra uncoils itself from within him and lashes out engulfing the entire area around him. His killer intent shakes all but his friends to the core.

"WHY ARE YOU IDIOTS FIGHTING OVER WHETHER OR NOT THIS PIECE OF PURE EVIL SHOULD BE DESTROYED OR NOT!" His voice echoes as two voices, venom drips from his words like acid as everyone backs up in fear. Elrond senses that even the ring of power attempts to pull back, fear and terror laced through the feelings coming from the ring. Frodo seems a little relieved as the evil of the ring is pulled from him by a greater power. "I am the Almighty Kyuubi no Kitsune, in ancients past I was higher in rank than Sauron. Sauron himself did as I bid him to, but I fell in love with a power of pure Holiness. I left the world of evil and sought to protect the world from Sauron, though he had many ways of keeping me busy protecting the world of men. Until his ultimate plan came to fruition 13 years ago and I was sealed inside this boy you see before you." Naruto/Kyuubi turns to Frodo and points him out. "This little hobbit has been blessed with the power to resist the taint of the darkness better than anyone else in this realm. He shall take the ring into the very pit of Mordor and cast it into the flames of Mount Doom. Any who wish to complain about this will answer to me." Strider stands from his seat and kneels by Frodo.

"Despite this announcement, it is your choice Frodo of the Shire." Frodo looks up to him, the gears almost visible as they turn in his head.

"I choose to do this, I know I do not have to, but I will not let my people come to know such hard times that seem to have already come to the other races of Middle Earth. But I do not know the way."

"I, Aragorn son of Arathorn, pledge my sword to you to the very pit of Mordor."

Legolas stands, "You have my Bow little one."

"And my axe!" Declares Gimli as he stands next to the elf. Boromir slowly walks up to Frodo.

"You carry the fate of us little one, I too shall see this through fro the people of Gondor." Sam, Merry and Pippin rush out of their Hiding places and declare their parts in the group, much to the amusement those present. Gandalf leans against the door frame, disguised as another elf of the vicinity. Naruto looks at him and winks, his power back to normal.

"Hinata and I shall accompany you as will little one, though we will have to leave sooner or later for our journey is not to Mordor, but to the places of heavy battle to come. Kyuubi has seen the future and we are needed if the world of men is to survive."

"11 Companions, so be it. From here you shall be known as the Fellowship of the Ring. May the Lights of Elineil Shine bright upon your path and lead you true."
