Hey guys welcome to another chapter of You are banished from Death. I had to take down the poll as my copy of the game Shadows of Mordor was not working :(

But I am happy to say I was able to get a new copy and will have the poll up for what will happen next after this chapter. This is a setting up chapter in preparation to what will happen. I do not want a copyright lawsuit lol. The voting will still be important to the story of this game. So please cast your vote. Next chapter no mater what the winning option will happen. It is currently in a tie and while a clear winner isn't needed it is easier to type this story.

Naruto cursed the elf as he slowly made his way down the tower to the rampart. "Why are we not leaving this place yet?"

"Because," the wrath said slowly to not rise to Naruto's bait. "You need a weapon. While my power can used to make weapons for use to use, we must use it sparsely. No need to make ourselves more of a target."

"Lazy jerk."

"If I was lazy I would have left you for dead boy." The Elf stated as he followed Naruto down the shattered stairs. "But I am confused... Wait. There are several Uruks ahead of us. You need to sneak passed them if we are to continue. You have had the necessary training for stealth?"

Naruto nodded as an memory came of the first time he went stealth training...

-Stealth training memory-

"So who's ready for basic training?" Called out Kushina as she cooked in the kitchen. "We're starting after breakfast today."

"I am!" Came the reply of Naruto's sister Naruko as she sat herself down. "I need to be able to take the hat away and this is the first step of training to be Hokage."

Kushina beamed at her daughter before turning back to the eggs. In a teasing tone she asked, "How about you Naruto?"

"...How did you know?" he asked as he slid out of the shadows of the doorway. His mother smiled at him.

"I'm just an awesome Kaa-san that way Naruto-koi."

"Mommm!"

"Come on and join us Naruto-chan." Naruko called out to her twin who blushed red.

"I'm not a girl!"

Naruko smirked at her brother. "But you look so cute and you whine like one Nee-chan!"

"Naruko stop teasing your brother." Kushina sternly said as she started to place food down. "And Naruto you don't have to let her get a raise out of you."

Naruto looked down with a frown. "Yes mama."

"Hey," Kushina placed her hands on either shoulder of her baby boy. "There's nothing wrong with looking girly honey. Your father was girly looking until he got back from training with your godfather. You just take after him."

"..."

"Honey I know that you want to look more 'masculine' but to me your my wonderful baby boy... even when your wearing a dress."

"MOM!" Naruto cried out in shock as the two most impotent females in his life laughed at his horrified expression. "You promised!"

...

"Ok can either of you tell me what is the first thing you must do if you want to sneak around? Naruto?"

"Don't get caught?" Kushina smiled at his answer.

"Well there's that, which you failed this morning but no. The first thing is to plan out possible routes to move though an area. While this can be difficult in foreign places, knowing how to recognize safe routes on the fly is an important aspect of being an Shinobi."

"So how are you going to teach us that Kaa-san?" Asked Naruko as she twirled her reddish blonde hair. She then reach out and puled her brother closer to her. "Little Naruto here needs all the help he can get."

"Oi I'm not little!" He called out as he tried to escape her grasp. Naruko smirked as she held onto her brother with one arm and began to use her free hand to pitch his butt causing him to squeak.

"You will always be my. little. brother."

"We're the same age!"

"So?"

"Ahem." Kushina coughed into her fist letting her daughter know it was time to free her brother. She did so pouting as she wanted to enjoy teasing him more. Seeing that they were far enough apart as to not interrupt her she went on to explain the task. "Today I set up the training ground to simulate having to get from one side to the other without being seen. I will be pretending to be the guards that you have to avoid. As this is the first time we're doing this I will go easy on you both. But every time we work on this I will be making it harder on both of you. Right now all you have to do is sneak pass my patrolling shadow clones and reach the other side. Later on I will have others help us out and adding in traps and locks to pick."

"How long do we have?" Naruko asked. Naruto stayed silent as he tried to look behind his mother to see if he could get a good look before they started. Kushina gave him an eye smile with pride.

Humming in thought she snapped her fingers. "While I don't expect much... if both of you make it to me in under 5 minutes we'll go eat ramen."

"Ramen!" "Awsome!"

"However, if one of you does and the other doesn't then the winner can ask for one thing."

At thing Naruko's eyes lit up. "There's this outfit that Ino showed me that Naruto would look amazing in if we could get him to wear it. Oh please mom if I win can i make Naruto wear it and show Ino?"

Kushina tried to hid a grin and laugh at the horrified look Naruto sent to his sister then to her, pleading with doe eyes not to accept her daughter's desire. "Well... not this time honey. If you want it that badly perhaps at a later date." 'Sorry Naruto-koi but I want to see you wear it too. I will however let you off the hook this time.'

"Ahhh... then can you at least help me with chakra control later?"

"That sounds fine honey. I'll help you once I have another break between my duties to the village. How about you Naruto?"

Naruto thought for a moment. "... Um, is it ok if I spent a day with Anko and Yūgao looking for medical plants? Tsunade was talking about how the hospital was running out and I was hoping to help her out."

"Sure honey." Kushina said smiling knowing that it was in his nature to help others. "I'll set up as soon as I can... If you can win. In fact if you both win we will still have Ramen but I'll grant both of your wishes ok?"

"So when do we start?" Naruko as she tightened her sandles.

"I'll start the timer once you both pass the threshold. See you both on the other side." Kushina said before blurring away to wait for them on the other side.

Finishing her task Naruko turned to her brother and grasped his hand. "Follow me bro, we'll beat this easily."

"But I wanted to try this myself." He pouted as he gentle pulled his hand free and tried to ignore his sisters sad face. "Besides we need to get moving."

"... If you say so Nii-chan." Naruko walked up to him an gave him a kiss on the cheek before racing in. "See you on the other side."

Naruto crouched and instead of moving fast though the challenge he knew that he had to bid his time. The five minute deadline was a trick to get them to make more mistakes by making him and his sister panic and not pay attention. Entering slowly he took note of several paths open to him before turning around and leaving the training ground entrance. 'Time to use stealth.'

Sliding into the shadows he began to move though the underbrush, climbing over rocks and listening for anyone nearby. He was not disappointed as he heard his sister curing loudly that it was unfair about the amount of traps.

'Did you think that she wouldn't became she said so?' He thought as he began to climb a tree and move along the branches after hearing a snicker. It was a good thing too as he past above, where he was going to move though on the ground, sat one of his mother's shadow clones. Gripping his makeshift club he had mad from a branch, he leapt off the tree he was in and smacked the clone on the head, dispelling it.

"...I shouldn't have done that." He cursed as he heard movement in the underbrush heading his way. He began to race towards the other end of the training ground as quietly.

-End memory-

"Good." The elf's voice cut though Naruto's thoughts about his past. Appearing in his wraith form he stood above Naruto's form, invisible to the Uruks in the room ahead. "There are eight Uruks between us and the doorway to the rampart. Seven of them you can sneak by but that last one you'll need something to kill him with. See if you can't find a dagger or a knife to use to kill it."

"Best if I head to the kitchen then, there should be something I can use in there."

"There is a ledge you can use to sneak on by. Use it to get to the kitchen and avoid that patrol."

Naruto took a deep breath and slowly moved towards the cracks in the wall. Slowly and carefully he began to climb up the wall using the natural shadows of the room to hide is frame from the Uruks. Once he was high enough he moved onto the ledge and began to slowly slide with is back to the wall towards the kitchen. As he passed by the patrol he listened in on their conversation.

"The black hand were upset when they left, I wonder what happened?"

"The ritual failed you idiot! Those three tarks that were used didn't summon whatever it was they were trying to. I am happy about that, I don't have to worry about that Tark gate Captain. Killed several of us before the black hand forced him to surrender."

"It's a wonder why they even fight us if they are willing to surrender to save one of their own."

"Menfolk are stupid. For a bunch of watchers and so called first line of Gondor they were weak. No wonder the dark lord waited for so long, they won't be able to stop us once the war begins."

The rest of the conversation Naruto was unable to hear as the patrol rounded the corner. Mentally counting he dropped down and landed on his feet without a sound in front of the kitchen. Slowly entering he noticed an Uruk eating a chicken in the corner, back to Naruto. Seeing his chance Naruto entered and tip toed to the knife rack. Seeing only a single knife he grasped it and moved towards the Uruk. The chicken was the last thing the servant of the dark lord enjoyed before a blade entered his skull.

Naruto wrenched as he wanked the knife out of the corpses skull. The elf studied him for a moment.

"It was your first kill wasn't it?"

"No... I killed rabbits and chickens before but... he was..."

"While it is humanoid it was an enemy that would not give you mercy if he spotted you. It will always be hard to kill another being child but there will always be those who will try to harm those you care about. Only by picking up arms and defending those that would be harmed is killing justified."

Grimly Naruto new he was right. He knew that behind the glorified idea of being a ninja was the cold truth that killing people... individuals was going to happen... 'Never realized I would be blooded so soon.'

"So now we must take care of the uruk that is preventing us from leaving. Do not delay, the longer you stay the sooner we'll be swarmed by the defenders."

Naruto nodded as the elf stood by the door, ready to move. There would be time to be ill later, survival was the priority. Once more he moved in a crouched position and used stealth to leave the room. This time he stayed on the ground and hid behind the overturn tables. Banishing the knife he made quick work of the uruk that was guarding the door once he distracted the larger humanoid.

"I hate being short."

"Yet you can hide far more better than adults ever could. Use size to your advantage and even giants will fall."

Rolling his eyes Naruto looked around to see if the coast was clear. Seeing so, he opened the door and slipped though. Before him were the bodies of several people; A man whom Naruto believed to be the captain of the wall the uruk patrol were talking about, a woman and a younger man.

The elf walked towards them and looked down at their bodies. "Sacrifices to the dark lord to summon me. For what purpose I do not not."

"We should bury them."

"There is no time. Here, take up their weapons. With some training to adjust to the length of his short sword." Naruto nodded at the elf and picked up the weapon strapped the back of the corpse. Unsheathing it he took a look at it before strapping the sheath to his back in the same manner as the man. "Good, that broken sword blade will be a good dagger as well. Take it."

"I still feel that we would at least pay them respects."

"Oi! What are you doing here!? I thought we killed all the tarks? Get him!" Naruto turned to see an Uruk in heavy red armor point a sword at him. From both sides of the wall Uruks poured from the towers.

"No time for that now. Jump!" The elf yelled as he pointed towards inter of Mordor

"What!?"

"Just jump that way! You aren't ready to face a captain or the horde coming yet!"

Seeing no other option Naruto raced for the edge and jumped. It was then the reality of how high he was came back to him.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" He screamed as he tumbled down with the wind buffering him as he hurled towards death. Seeing the ground rushing towards him with bone crushing speeds he yelled out to the elf. "WHY DID I LISTEN TO YOU!?"

"Because of this." Before Naruto knew what was happening his body flicked into the form of the wraith. Before he could gasp in shock this body (elf wraith?) flipped over and landed on the ground unharmed."Now let us move Naruto."

An arrow emphasized this clearing Naruto's mind from the hundred foot fall he had just survived from. Racing forward he traveled deeper into Mordor to avoid behind hunted down by the Uruk captain and the horde with it.

...

The Talon of the Black Hand watched as the small tark raced away, along with the wraith his masters had wished to summon. Turning around he pointed towards one of his folowers. "You! Go tell the Hand that the elf lord is in league with a small tark. The rest of you lot inform the captains and the war chiefs along with every uruk in the region whoever kills the one who holds the wraith or brings him to the hand will be rewarded. Now, GO!"

Clicking his teeth the Talon of the Black Hand moved away from the wall. He had places to be and hunting down the small figure in the distance was not one he had to deal with at the time. There was a wall that needed repairing for the dark lord and tarks to kill.

'Besides,' he thought as he moved though the shadowed doorway into the tower he had exited only to find the boy, 'What hope can a human child have against the might of Mordor and the Uruks?'
