Hello my readers! And welcome to Naruto: the Demi-Reaper! This is my second story and I hope you all enjoy it!
I will only be doing this once. Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or anything else I decide to add into my story.
Everyone knows that time is Death, that Death hides in clocks. Imposing another time powered by the Clock of Imagination, however, can refuse his law. Here, freed of the Grim Reaper's scythe, we learn that pain is knowledge and all knowledge pain.
- Federico Fellini
A small boy who appeared to be the age of four was dragged out of the village of Konoha. He had a large vertical cut across his left eye that bled profusely, small and large scars littered his torso and the corner of his right mouth had a large cut that curved to his ear. How the child was alive would forever remain a mystery.
The man who was dragging him stopped at the river and chucked him into it. With a small laugh and a whisper of "The demon is finally gone" the man left.
The blond haired boy floated down the river. If he was dead or alive, it was impossible to tell.
A man with shoulder length black shaggy hair sat on a throne. Not just any throne, but one made of bones, bones too big to be that of human. He had dark stubble on his chin, and his eyes were a lifeless pitch black. His raven black hair contrasted deeply to his pale white skin.
Suddenly an alarm went off. Now this wasn't an alarm clock or anything, but the emergency alarm, which meant something big just happened, and it wasn't good.
The man looked into a crystal ball that was on the edge of thrones arm rest. He saw a blonde haired child floating in a river. And he was dead. "Fuck. Those Konoha bastards killed the boy. He is the child of prophecy! They just doomed their world to death. But maybe I can do something to prevent that."
The man got up from the throne and made his way to the huge doors in front of him. With a small push the doors slammed open and he disappeared through them.
The black haired man appeared on the water next to the child's body and tenderly lifted him up bridal style. After he made sure the boy was secure, they melted into the water, and they were no more."
Cerulean blue eyes woke up to a ceiling made of flesh; at least he thought it was flesh. "Well, it's about time you woke up boy, I thought I failed in bringing you back."
The blond haired child looked to where the voice was coming from. He saw a raven haired man, who had a rather big grin on his face. "Welcome to hell, I'm the Grim Reaper, but you can just call me by my past name, Adam."
"I'm in hell? How?" Naruto questioned the reaper. "Well, you were beaten quite badly, and left to die in a river outside of Konoha." Adam said rather grimly. "You will never be able to use your left eye again, and you have a rather nasty scar on your right cheek, I still haven't removed the stitches."
"I want to see them." Naruto stated. The reaper handed over a mirror to Naruto so he could see his new scars. The scar over his eye was pretty horrifying; it reached from his forehead to the top of his cheekbone. But the scar that reached from the corner of his moth to his ear was worse; it was two centimetres wide and still had the stitches in it.
"Leave the stitches in." Naruto said quietly. "What was that?" Adam asked. "I said, leave the stitches in." "Alright." Adam said. "But may I ask why?" "Cause they're friggen awesome looking!" Naruto said, his eyes twinkling.
"Alright Naruto, I will let you rest for now, and then when you are fully healed, I have an offer for you. I want to ask you this when you are fully awake, so you know what you want to do. Alright?" The reaper told Naruto.
"Alright Mr. Reaper sir. I'll get to resting now." And with that, Naruto was out like a light.
A few days later, Adam brought Naruto into the throne room. He sat upon the throne and Naruto looked amazed. "That's so cool! Those are too big to be human bones, what type of animal are they from?" Naruto questioned excitedly. "Calm down Naruto." Adam said "First I have to tell you about my offer, remember?" Naruto nodded and became silent.
"Now, as the Grim Reaper, I have power over souls when they die, which is why you are still alive. Another one of my powers is that I can make someone a demi-reaper; actually it's a requirement for me. I need a replacement, and I have to train my replacement. So what do you say? Do you want to become the next Grim Reaper?"
Aaaaaaaand that's it for now everyone! So how's the story? Is it any good? Rate and review so I know whether to continue this or not. Naruto becoming a Grim Reaper. Should be interesting no? This idea has actually been bugging me for some time. Well, it's time to hit the hay for me. Goodnight folks!
