A most excellent crossover with good balance and beautiful writing.

A beautiful contained story of an old soldier. Thank you for your tale.

I enjoyed the story but have you considered a version where Kakashi lives? You could do it as an alternate ending or do a completely separate story with the same basic premises of him accidentally ending up in Middle Earth and being weakened. He could start out in Rohan again or perhaps meet up with the fellowship In variety of different places and joining them we're running into them on multiple occasions or something else even you could even have him accidentally pull someone along with him. I hope to see you write more Middle-earth Naruto crossovers in the future :-)

That was incredibly good I loved it!

Probably the best LODR crossover I have ever read;
The only thing I disliked was the tecnique that killed him.
I mean, for someone like Kakashi I expected him to cast Kirin, even the climate was perfect, and the Chakra to control it was low.
Instead I found a mere rank C, it was a bit...disappointing.
Other than that I really can't say nothing bad, it was perfect!

The grim traveler is ultimate favorite... the whole story.
(Kakashi could of sort of lived if he did not use the last tidbit of 'magic' he had, but that would be folly to his pledge.

Could never get through Lord of the Rings, but this story is one if the best cross-over fics I've ever read. Thanks for writing and sharing this

That kakashi monologue brought a tear to my eye. T.T

omg. *sobs* I knew it was coming, but still. TT

Heh, if Naruto were to hear of his last days, he would have been proud.

This story is lovely. Thank you for sharing it with us.

No, it's okay. This is... this is the right ending. Even if I really hate dead ending, but this is /so/ right. I hate it every time a character dead in ending, I really hate it! BUT THIS ENDING IS THE RIGHT ONE FOR THIS

Whoa, thank you so much for this great story !

Nice final chapter, it was a bit unexpected, but I like thinking that Kakashi went out fighting, I imagine that he's been so battle-hardened and weary that by this point it's almost the best way for him to end it. I also like how he introduces some sneakier and more subversive techniques that the men normally wouldn't use yet benefited immensely from, as well as his ingenuity during battle. Having to fight a battle of attrition without the use of chakra must be an extremely unpleasant prospect for shinobi, and I imagine he did pretty well all things considered. Possibly Gai might have done better, seeing as his extreme physical training would give him a better starting state for a battle like this, but I don't think it could equate to Kakashi's knowledge and tactical know-how. Thanks for this chapter, it was nice to see a satisfying wrap-up to this story.

Really cool story! I love the idea of Kakashi in Middle Earth, but also him arriving in such a way that he's not ridiculously overpowered. Nothing more boring than reading a story where the hero doesn't struggle to win.
