Dear Guest who informed me "one does not simply have a picnic on the Black Gates",
I would like to introduce you to a term I am fond of; I am as find of this term as Dumbledore is Candy.
The term is thus: Bullshit.
The only complicated part is getting up there. I am also shocked that you seem to have missed Naruto's Simple Walk into Mordor(his cave is technically in Mordor, as the edge of the mountains begin the borders).
And to my Dear Leeroy Jenkins reviewer: I work from an iPad mini. You, my friend, managed to glitch my screen with a single review. It made my day.
Also, go to fictionpress and look up my newest work, Seven Days Alive, and then go to YouTube to Twisted Inc's channel to watch the show that spawned it.
(Also, apologies for the filler chap here... SDA is taking up my time and brainpower to take the plot and script while crafting a new world around it...)
Naruto knew he didn't look smart. He also knew he wasn't the sharpest blade in the sheathe. However, he knew he was strong. His skill in battle was almost unparalleled, rivaling that of a God of War. He was a trickster. His size belied his strength, and he was far faster than the swiftest of beings anywhere.
But he was also the host of one of the strongest and most manipulative beings in his world. One he'd been influenced by since before his birth, since his conception.
Naruto was just as much a child of the Kyuubi as he was a son of Kushina and Minato Namikaze, having been conceived and born while his mother was a Jinchuuriki. He was a fox at heart, and he had a penchant for being accidentally manipulative. His ability to talk good into people like Pein was a sign of it.
He stared at Erebor in the distance as he and the Company walked, watching for danger around them. A pack of Orcs had been spotted riding with a cloaked man, and Biblo had seen a large brown bear stalking the woods. It was all very unnatural, even by Naruto's standards.
Orcs never travelled with humans leading them, and red eyes were especially uncommon in the race. Brown bears were never the size of a Man, usually topping a Dwarf by a half foot, instead.
A hunting horn blared, and the Company froze, the growling of Wargs reaching their ears.
"We meet once more, Uzumaki Naruto," came a voice from the shadows as the Company began to run.
Gandalf's staff lit up with a brilliant flare, but it did little to the enemy around them besides blind them for a second; long enough for Naruto to react.
Gurthang was in his hands, and three Orcs were decapitated before a hand caught the blade, chakra spiraling around it in a drill style.
Red eyes opened, sending Naruto into a brief state of panic; their pupils circled by a shuriken-like pattern.
"Madara," the younger man spat as his adversary stepped out of the shadows.
A fist buried itself into Naruto's cheek, chakra spiking as the blonde was sent flying by the punch.
The younger Shinobi vanished, and a single chain of chakra wrapped around Madara's body. A dark Kamui opened, and Madara vanished into it. His reappearance was noticed by a dagger being buried into Naruto's ribs.
A second later, his enemy vanished into another Kamui, before reappearing a moment later and stabbing Naruto in the leg.
The blonde pulled both daggers out, allowing the wounds to hiss shut in seconds, and swung his sword at Madara's head, only for the older man to dodge and snap Naruto's arm.
Naruto winced, and threw his arm in reverse, the bone taking a few seconds to heal. Madara's head was smashed into by the flat of Gurthang, sending him stumbling a few feet.
Naruto pressed his advantage, only to see something he'd not seen in a while from Madara.
Behind the man, five black orbs floated in a circle. Madara had activated his Truth Seeking Balls.
A black lance smashed into Naruto's armor, denting it fiercely, and sending him flying.
The battle slowed, and Naruto scowled.
'So he's figured out about chakra manipulation being the only thing we have here... Kurama! I think it's time we made sure this bastard died for good,' Naruto said.
The inhabitants of his mind looked on in interest as Kurama's cage opened, and the Kyuubi became a golden color.
Naruto's body turn gold, and he smirked.
"I've gotten faster, Uchiha-teme. Don't blink," he said, before he vanished. A loud bang erupted from his last position, and the nearby trees were uprooted as Naruto sprinted towards Madara, his tenant's chakra coalescing around him into a large ball in Naruto's palm.
The unstable ball of Kyuubi's chakra was slammed into the enemy nin's jaw, and exploded. The explosion threw Madara away, and Naruto vanished in another sonic boom.
Quickly, Naruto passed his enemy, and drew his blade, which erupted into golden flames, and swung it as he stopped. The trees he stopped in front of were utterly destroyed, and the sword slid into Madara's body, cutting into him with ruthless efficiency.
A third hand appeared, and a massive Rasengan formed, and slammed into Madara, who vanished into a Kamui.
Naruto's body returned to normal, and he scowled.
"He escaped," the Shinobi said.
Kurama snorted.
"The Uchiha are cockroaches. There was no more annoying enemy that Sauron could have brought back. But we were lucky. Your body is much stronger than before, and you're many times faster than you were during the war. Madara underestimated us," Kyuubi said. Eöl frowned in concentration.
'What was that power,' he asked. Naruto blinked.
'Kyuubi and I merge chakra, and essentially combine our power. Since our power is equal, we become absurdly fast and strong,' Naruto explained to his blade's spirit. The dark elf nodded in understanding, and grinned.
Melkor scowled, his mind trying to figure out what this meant for his return.
The boy was a variable that had variables of his own. His own power was fighting against him, and the boy commanded most of it.
Far away, in the void, a single red eye glared at the world.
Things were changing, and the being didn't know if it was for the best. It was weak, incomplete. The largest chunk of it's power had vanished, and it hated it.
If it returned to it's former body, it would be able to regain that power, but it was stuck in this void; unable to escape as it did before.
Fin.
Mostly filler, but I have other things to work on...
