Naruto and the Lord of the Rings

Chpt 7

Naruto looked around at the lake outside gates of Moria. He laughs to himself as Pippin gets in trouble for throwing stones. Turning to look up the side of the mountain he sees Hinata crouched against the rock surface with her byuukagan activated.

"See anything Hinata?" He calls up to her, his senses telling him something just isn't right.

"Nothing yet Naru-kun!"

"Alright!" He turns again and looks at Gandalf and Frodo by the gates.

"Gandalf, whats the elvish word for friend?" Frodo asks. Gandalf's eyes light up in instant understanding.

"Bellon…" The gates start to open and they walk inside, Gimli talking about the hospitality of his cousin. Naruto shivers as he smells the aged decay of death in the air the second he steps through the gateway. Someone steps on something crunchy and they turn their torches to the ground.

"This isn't a mine, it's a tomb!"

"Everyone out!" Aragorn yells just as an unseen tentacle from the lake grabs Frodo. Aragorn swings his blade at the tentacle as he rushes in to save Frodo, Boromir hot on his heels as Naruto runs through signs.

"Grand Fireball no jutsu!" He yells as he blows a huge ball of flame at the tentacles swinging around. Hinata summons her darkness sword again and begins slashing at the tentacles and using Jyuuken on any she can. Aragorn leaps back holding Frodo and tosses him into the mine.

"Everyone this way!" They all make their way to the mine continuously fighting off the attacking squid like creature. Aragorn runs through one handed seals with both hands before slamming his hands together. "Summoning! 6 Swords of Destruction!" His hands are enveloped in white light before a huge sword is pulled from the light, equal to the size of his body. He swings the sword around his head before settling it on his shoulder, his body enveloped by blue flames. White light forms on the tip of his blade. " Everyone DUCK!" He slams his sword forward and into the ground, three energy slashes slam into the walls and creature causing the rocks to fall down and crush the caught tentacles. Naruto looks at Aragorn with confusion written all over his face.

"What was THAT!" He practically screams in Aragorn's face. "How do you know Shinobi Seals?" Aragorn looks at him in amusement.

"Before they were Shinobi seals they were magical seals of the Elves. I learned a few techniques, including the summoning of my clans ultimate weapon. It is called the First Tsurugi, also known as the sword of 6 blades. Maybe one day you'll see its ultimate attack ha ha haa!" Aragorn pats Naruto on the shoulder and turns his suddenly calculating eyes on the pitch black of the tunnels of Moria.

"Well, it seems as if our path is chosen for us…" Gandalf states as he creates a globe of light above his staff. "Let us be quiet though, there are worse things in the belly of the earth than Orcs and goblins." Naruto grins at the new challenge as they all head into the eerie darkness ahead of them. "Its four days to the bridge of Kazadoon(?), let us hope that our presence here goes unnoticed."

They walk for what seems like eternity to Naruto, who is quickly becoming bored with the absence of anything 'worthwhile'. Their only stop is at a fork in the path, which Gandalf can't remember which way to go. Naruto sighs as he and Hinata go down both paths. Naruto slides through the shadows as if he was a shadow, stumbling across a stray orc rummaging through the muck at one point. He slides up beside it and slices its head off in one swift motion before continuing. After a while he decides this isn't the correct path and heads back to join the others.

Hinata's POV

I watch Naruto go down his tunnel and I sigh, 'Why must he be so reckless?' Giggling since its also one of her favorite things about Naruto she turns to her own dark tunnel and enters. She runs silently on the ceiling of the tunnel, bypassing several 'squads' of Orcs. After counting seven squads she stops to listen in on one squad's conversation.

"Have all groups gotten in position?" asks one particularly cruel looking orc.

"Yes sir, all squads are in position and awaiting the order to attack the intruders, Gandalf will never see it coming, not with our new training Orochimaru himself heheh!" Hinata's blood ran cold and she dropped from her position, her dark sword materializing in her hand instantly and beginning her spin.

"Kaiten Darkness blade!" Chakra wraps around her body as she performs her midair Kaiten, her blade reaching beyond the chakra slicing all the orcs to ribbons.

"Oh my god, oh my god! I gotta get back there! KUSO!" She yells as she blurs from sight as she speeds off towards the group.

Normal View

Gandalf turns around at the sound of Naruto's return.

"That's not it Jii-san, I didn't see any land marks of any kind to indicate a way through to where your talking bout. I did see one Orc and exterminated it." Gandalf nods and turns towards the other tunnel and begins to move forward when he sensed something and quickly unsheathed his sword and readied his staff. All the other, alerted by the suddenly battle ready Gandalf, mirrored his movements and got into battle position surrounding Frodo and the other Hobbits.

"What is it?" Boromir asks as he glances into the inky black depths of the tunnel Hinata had gone down.

"I'm not sure, I sense some force blocking my abilities, some kind of purplish energy is surrounding us now where there had been nothing before." Gandalf glances around, his eyes used to years of magic weaving seeing clearly the chakra and magic in the air. "It feels somehow familiar yet I cannot place where I have sensed it before." Naruto hairs began to stand on end, fear somehow laced itself through his system before he began shaking, then grinning. They all take the only path left to them and begin heading towards a great cavern filled with pillars higher than they could see. A feeling of great danger growing on them.

"Whatever it is it's coming closer, and its MINE Gandalf!" The earth shook with force as the thing came closer to them, Gandalf lead everyone towards two open doors as they ran through a cavern of columns, magnificent in their beauty and height. Naruto takes one look behind him, seeing his friends reach safety before turning back to the burning inferno heading his way, the horned beast roaring at him as it coems into sight around the corner. Naruto looks up, and up, and up as the beast comes closer and closer. Naruto quivers with excitement as he rushes forward at the newly unsheathed sword of fire swinging down at him. Dodgin to the side he jumps up and plants a Rasengan into the creatures face causing it to roar in pain. His feeling of victory is shattered as the creatures arm slashes down swiping Naruto into a pillar so hard it shatters. The roof groaning at the extra weight goes unheard as Naruto jumps up, his cheek dripping the crimson liquid of life before he rushes forward, his hands flying through seals before he jumps up and forms a huge whirlwind of power in boths hands, rasengans in his hands with black and white fire swirling around his arms.

"YIN YANG RASENGAN DOUBLE TEAM!" Naruto screams, his attacks coming closer to the beast's chest before his arms are caught ina vice like grip.

"No you don't baka no kitsune! I shall not be defeated by one such as you!" The creature yells in a crackling voice like rocks grating on metal. He spins and tosses Naruto away before fire erupts around his body. The creature begins to shrink, his demonic features turning smooth and human like. As the fire dies down Naruto pulls himself out of the rubble and glares at the creature turned human. He stands there, his red and black fire like hair falling below his shoulders, a black leather armor with gold and red flames etched into them covers his top half while black cargos are tucked into boots. Two belts crisscrossing each other in front and back hold two pouches on each side and three swords, two on each hip and one in back. Grinning the man looks at Naruto and snorts in disbelief.

"What happened to your usual human transformation Kyuubi-kun? Tired of being a beautiful woman and decided to try a preteen boy? I always knew you liked the ladies more than us 'evil men' ha ha haa," He grabs both swords on his hips and pulls them out, in his right hand a black sword seems to pull in all the light around it as it demonic spiked look sends shivers down Naruto's spine. The other sword is quite literally pure blood red fire springing forth from its golden handle, a sense of wanting to devour Naruto in flames comes to mind when he glances at it.

"Heh, I don't know what your talking about idiot, but my names Uzumaki Naruto, and you are goin down!" He springs forward, darkness enveloping him as he turns into his evil form, a pitch black long sword snakes out towards his opponents head but is stopped by his own dark sword, slashes and clangs appear out of no where as the two combatants appear and disappear from sight. Grooves and claw marks appear on walls, floors, and pillars as the two go at it like never before. Naruto appears crouched his sword reversed in his right hand, a dark rasengan forming in his left as he springs forward swirling with his sword and rasengan forming a kind of gatsuuga styled attack. The other man grins as he forms a ball of red energy in his right hand before slamming it forward creating an energy beam. The two attack collide, Naruto's sword blocking the attack while his rasengan fights to overcome it. Finally with a small explosion both attack cancel each other out. They stare across from each other, both grinning and breathing heavily. Scratches and other various wounds riddle each other's bodies as they look on.

"Heh, even if you aren't Kyuubi-kun, you are a worthy opponent indeed."

"Well thanks, you ain't half bad yourself." Naruto grins at his opponent, his stance not faltering in the least.

"Its about time I had someone worthy of using my best technique on. Tell ya what, how bout we throw our greatest techniques together, put all our beings in them and see just who is stronger between us? I haven't done that since Kyuubi-chan disappeared…"

"Kyuubi-chan? Sounds like someone had a lil crush on the furball heheh, alright, one attack each, all powerful, one shot takes all. It's a deal!" Naruto's darkness form evaporates and a ball of pure darkness forms in his right hand while a ball of rainbow colors form in his left, with a yell he merges the two together, strain evident on his face. Grinning he pushes them even closer together, the now swirling ball of colors becoming smaller and smaller until it was the size of a marble. Sweat drips off Naruto's forehead as he holds the small orb of energy, his arms shake and blood drips from his eyes. The other man begins moving his arms around in strange patterns before motioning and upside down pentagram in the air. Puts the thumb and forefinger of boths hands together with the fingers spread wide open, a energy ball forms till it's the size of three person's heads. A pentagram surround by magical symbols and signs forms in front of him.

"Uzumaki Secret technique!Rasengan Marble Form! Cry of the Heavens Tear!"

"Demonic Technique! Satan's Right Hand Seal! Obelisk Betrayal Unleashed!" Both fighters yell as they prepare to launch their attacks, Naruto pulls the small orb towards his chest before thrusting both hands forward hurling the orb of pure destruction foreward, a huge trench created from the sheer power emanating off the attack. His opponent yells louder as he sees the attack coming before his orb blasts towards the symbol in the air turning it into a monstrously huge energy beam of blue gold and black spinning together in a whirlwind. The attacks collide, pillars all around them destroyed by the force emanating from the struggle. Naruto's little orb pushes the energy wave back a few inches and stops as he struggles to overcome it.

"I can't believe your this strong Naruto-kun, you truly are a worthy opponent. Lets kick this up a notch though shall we?" Grinning the man separates his hands creating two waves before thrusting them back together, the attack strength doubling in size and power. Naruto grins as his attack is pushed back a couple of feet before stopping.

"Lets kick it up a notch indeed!" Naruto muscles begin to snap from the strain of the attack, a lock of hair on each side of his face turns pure white as a starburst of gold appears in each eye. Whats going on? he thinks as suddenly he sees everything much clearer, things seem slowed down suddenly. He moves his hand in front of his face and sees that he is moving the same, but everything else is literally stopped. The strain of his attack is completely gone. Pulling his hands back he walks over to his opponent, seeing that this man is also on the edge of collapsing like he was. Looking into the mans eyes he suddenly knows every attack style and jutsu the man does. Grinning he puts the pieces together. "Sweeeet! I have a bloodline like the Uchihas! It seems to be a enhanced version of theirs though, and I see a lot of seals and things, and everytime I look at something I learn everything about it. This is so awesome! Now how do I get out of this? Hmmmm." His eyes widen as he thinks of a way to stop it. Pulling his arm back he slams it as hard as he can into the back of the mans head, the minute his fist connects the man speeds up to Naruto's long enough to feel the hit and fall down before he freezes again. Naruto runs towards his friends area and imagines time speeding up again till everything returns to normal. Throwing up a chakra barrier behind him he hears a explosion and is blown forward a great distance, pillars falling and cracking all around him before the roof begins caving in. Rushing forward he see his friends running towards a door on the other side. Grinning at Hinata they all head through a tunnel just as the ceiling blocks the it.

Scene Change, Hinata during Naruto's fight.

Hinata rushes towards her friends as they come into sight, everyone running towards an entrance with two very badly damaged doors.

"Gandalf where is Naru-kun?" She asks as they enter the room and she closes the doors.

"That brave fool stayed behind to fight the Balrog, I hope he will be fine against such evil…" He says as he turns to look at Gimly, who is anguishing over the grave of his cousin. He bends done to pick up a dusty and damaged journal in one of the dwarf skeletons hands and begins to read. "They have taken the west wall, the outer defenses are breached. We cannot get out. The drums are sounding, they are coming…." Pippin meanwhile knocks a skeleton down a well creating a hell of a racket as he stands there looking sheepish. Hinata glares at him and Gandalf berates him when drums sound. Hinata spins around and looks out the door, barely dodging in time to miss being hit with an arrow.

"Everyone get ready! The orcs are coming and there's something big with'em!" She says as she and Aragorn barricade the door. Pullin a kunai from her pouch she gets ready, her right hand flashing through seals before a sword of darkness forms in it.

"Behind me little ones, I will protect you!" Shouts Boromir forcefully, his fondness of the Halflings showing through as he puts himself between them and the door. Gandalf unsheathes his sword and his staff transforms into a katana of pure gold with fire etched along the blade. Legolas begins shooting the orcs as they try to breach the barrier before they accomplish the act, Hinata leaps from side to side, her kunai and blade dancing through the bodies of the orcs, rending them from end to end and stealing their limbs and lives away. Gandalf twirls slicing every which way as orcs surround him. Boromir mightily holds the tide back from the Hobbits before they draw their own swords and help out, their small frames going unnoticed by the orcs till they feel their blades enter their bodies. With a loud crasht eh cave troll slams into the room and is immediately engaged with Hinata and Legolas. Legolas fires arrows intot he trolls head as Hinata slices bits and pieces off of him before he picks up a spear and spins it around him trying to throw back everyone. Catching sight of Frodo cowering away from him he thrusts the spear against him, Frodo crying out in pain before passing out. Hinata's eyes flash with power before she leaps in front of the troll and performs a Kaiten on its face using her sword.

"Frodo!" Sam yells and rushes over to his friend, breathing a sigh of relief as he sees he's un harmed, a mithril mail shirt covering him to the surprise of everyone. A loud explosion happens and they feel the pillars collapse, the left over orcs shiver in fear and run away.

"Come! We head towards the bridge NOW!" Gandalf says as he rushes to the doors and out. As they run in the light of Gandalf's staff Naruto catches up to the group, giving Hinata a grin as they make it through the tunnel entrance right as the ceiling collapses behind them.

Grinning at everyone he turns to Gandalf and gives him a thumbs up, "Didja miss me?"
