Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, any references from other mangas or Bleach. This is just an idea that came to my head might be one shot, well see how it takes.

"It's over dobe, you won't win" sneered a young raven haired boy his bloody gaze fixed with an unnatural fire threatening to consume everything in it's path. His usual pale skin had become paler his face riddled in exhaustion from battle.

On the other side of the rock formation depicting the 1st hokage of the hidden leaf village stood a blonde youth his face bloody and birthmarks in the appearance of whiskers Giving him a feral appearance.

"Shut it teme, I'm not giving up until I drag you back home even if I have to break all the bones in your body!"

The other boy sneered in disgust as if the very thought of losing to his opponent made him sick.

" so be it, I'll just kill you"

Both boys prepared their attacks knowing that this would ultimately be the last clash to decide the victor.

The blonde held his hand out as an identical copy of himself poofed into existence beside him moving his hands in intricate motions causing a baseball sized swirling ball of energy to appear. At the same moment the raven haired boy made several hand gestures before holding his right forearm as the chirping of birds was heard and lightning crackled enshrouding his hand.

"Chidori/Rasengan!"

The two deadly attacks collided into a deadly explosion with the two still at it's center fighting for dominance it felt like an eternity before realization overtook the blonde's features and in sorrowful resignation withdrew from the clash allowing his opponent to pierce through his chest obliterating his heart and ending the fight.

" y-you won't c-change your mind, eh Sasuke?"

The whiskered boy stated already knowing the answer before it was spoken.

Sasuke looked at his dying teammate cold indifference and replyed in a tone just as icy not giving away any of his thoughts " No Naruto, Itachi will not just wait for me to get stronger and I will never improve fast enough by staying in that village full of weak idealists and fools."

Naruto nodded weakly before falling into the river below.

With Kakashi minutes from the fight

" Hurry Kakashi I smell blood and the rain is pouring harder we'll lose the scent soon" the silver haired Sensei was warned effectively speeding up in hope of making it on time before anything terrible happened unknowing of the passing of one of his students.

Unknown place

Nothing. That was all he could see, empty darkness surrounded Naruto as he lay there waiting for whatever happens after death "will I be able to be happy now? Will I see my mom and dad in the Afterlife?" The though was as uplifting as it was depressing seeing as he could not even bring his friend back much less be hokage. " I'm sorry Sakura-chan I can't keep my promise anymore"

" Wake up child, it's not over yet" a deep soothing voice echoed.

The voice startled Naruto from his musings, he frantically turned searching fruitlessly in all directions for the being that spoke.

"Worry not my boy I am here to help you"

Shocked Naruto could just hardly make out the silhouette of what appeared to be a humanoid with horns.

"Look not with your eyes child but with your spirit after all you are in your soulscape. Feel for your energy but unlike searching your inner self you must look deeper."

While scared he followed as instructed even he was not dumb enough to go against something he could not even see, he concentrated hard finding it quite more difficult than when unlocking his chakra as he didn't know what exactly he was looking for. After what felt like hours, really could have been longer seeing as time was irrelevant in this darkness, he manage to find it it felt like a flame hot but soothing instead of painful.

"Good, let it out"

Naruto let the flame consume him.

With a burst of light the darkness was chased away by the flaming energy that surrounded the blonde, with the new found light Naruto was finally able to see his visitor

"Shinigami-sama" Naruto finally spoke fear and relief both permanated from his voice.

The now recognized god of the dead spoke "too many mistakes have been made young Uzumaki and I am here to begin ratification starting with you. I apologize as I am not here to take you to the pure world"

The young ninjas head dropped ad that

" I am here to give you a new chance to start anew with the chance of finding happiness"

" what's the catch?" Naruto knew that no matter how good it sounded there had to be something the being wanted in exchange deities are not known to be charitable even he knew that.

The question only seemed to amuse the soul eater " it seems that you indeed know how to think that is good, what I wish to do is to make you into my avatar and have you collect certain souls for me, and not not just from your world"

" you mean I will have to travel to other worlds?!"

" Correct do not worry the time will come when I send you out in the meantime you shall carry out your duties here in the Elemental Nations as the death reaper"

"A come on that sounds so cliche, how about Soul reaper?"

The god paused for a moment "very well from now on you are the first Soul Reaper"

To be continued?
