Naruto POV

Ever since I was small (well smaller), I was able to make my bones appear, I know what you are thinking, so let me explain. My name is Naruto Uzumaki and for whatever reason I can make my skin and organs clear, revealing my skeleton. I can then make them reappear, though it causes the skin and organs to become increasingly(and permanently) slightly transparent. When I was like three, only by using a microscope you could see. But now anyone with eyes can see it. Most people would be panicking if their skin was clear, but I think it's cool, it's like a bloodline. Jiji always tells me stories about the many heroes who had bloodlines.

I used to use makeup to hide the transparency but it's not going to work any more. I discovered that this morning.

Third Person POV

Glaring sunlight is what woke up Naruto this morning. "Stupid sun, I'm trying to sleep," He murmured, trying to get away from the sun only to roll off his bed. "Look at what you did, demon sun," the seven-year old shouted, shaking his fist at the sun. Naruto continued to grumble as he walked into the bathroom, not hearing the semi-evil laugh that seemed to come from the sun.

Getting out of the shower, Naruto noticed that his bones showing, "That's strange, they usually only come out when I want them to." Naruto got out the make up and got ready to put it on. He tried to rub it on his arm only to feel empty air.

"What the," Naruto said in surprise. He cautiously touched his arm only to feel bone. Panicky, Naruto touched his face and arms. Nothing, just bones and empty air.

"Jiji would know what to do," Naruto said out loud. "Hopefully." Naruto hastily put on his burnt-orange hoodie and jeans (which he found on his door-step a year ago) and left his apartment. Locking up his apartment, Naruto promptly left the slums of Konoha.

Many people gave him curious looks, which turned to hate when they realized it was Naruto. They could tell because Naruto's blond hair juts out from the hoodie (not unlike Grim Jr. from the Grim Tales From Down Below), added to the fact that no one else would orange clothes.

When he got to Hokage Tower, a boar-masked ANBU tried to block the entrance when he saw Naruto. Naruto, knowing this ANBU hates him, ducked under him and entered the tower.

"Jiji," Naruto said when he entered the Sandaime's Office. "You need to help me!"

Startled the old Kage gripped a nearby kunai. Realizing it was Naruto, he put away his kunai. "What is it Naruto and put down your hood, I almost threw a kunai at you." He was mildly surprised to see Naruto's skull when Naruto pulled his hood back. "Stop with the joke, Naruto." Naruto has pulled this joke before.

"It's not a joke, Jiji," Naruto cried. "It's gone."

"What's all gone," he questioned, still thinking it's a joke.

"My skin and everything, Jiji!"

"What are you talking about, Naruto," the Sandaime anxiously asked, Naruto usually ended his jokes by now. Naruto walked up to him and grabbed the old man's arm. Sure enough the Hokage only felt Naruto's skeletal hand.

The Hokage sighed and said, "Your mother warned about this." He then got up and pulled a scroll from a adjacent bookshelf.

"What are talking about, Jiji," Naruto said shocked. Shocked because every time Naruto asked the Hokage about his parents, he would answer he didn't know them. "You knew her."

"I'm sorry I had her a secret from you but you need to understand that your mother had many enemies, and if someone found out that you are her son, you will be hunted by them," the Sandaime said handing Naruto the scroll. "Her name was Kushina Uzumaki and this is a letter she told me to give you incase something happens to her."

Naruto held the scroll like it would break at any second and opened it: Dear Naruto-sochi,

If you are reading this, then I am dead and my deal has been completed. If you don't know what I'm talking about, let me explain. On the day you were born(October 10), the Kyuubi attacked the village. Your father had to seal it away. Only a newborn can survive the sealing, since their chakra coils were undeveloped. You were the only one born that day. But sadly you were born a stillborn. So I had no choice but to make a "small" deal with death, a person named the Grim Reaper.

The deal was that if he don't take your soul(i.e. brings you to life) then you will technically be his son. A sign of this, as you probably noticed, is the fact that your skin and organs disappeared on or around your seventh birthday.(1)

I'm sorry sochi, I had no choice. But you would agree once you meet him that he would be a great dad for you. Anyways, with you alive, we sealed the Kyuubi in you. YOU ARE NOT THE DEMON! Only the container. I hope you understand. Good bye Naruto, dattebayo!

With Love, Your Mother,

Kushina Uzumaki

P.S. Your new father will come get you soon after you finish reading this letter.

The old kage and young skeleton looked at each other in shock, no none expected this. Over the course of the last minute, Naruto went from happy to sad to curious to shocked to fear to happy(again) to surprise to joyous. He was happy to have a letter from his mom and to have a dad, even if it was Death himself. "I have a dad" was his only thought. The Hokage was happy that Naruto got a semi-good letter but was stupefied when it was revealed that Naruto was the revived son of the Grim Reaper.

The Hokage then remembered the last sentence. "Shouldn't you be packing," The Hokage questioned Naruto, grinning.

"Oh yeah!" Naruto shouted before pulling his hood up and running out of the office. The Sandaime Hokage chuckled at his adoptive grandson's antics. He then sent one of his ANBU to make copies of the letter. "The council is going to love to hear about this," the old man lit his pipe with a evil grin, "there is going to be hell to pay."

Four minutes later: Naruto's Apartment.

Naruto quickly packed his extra hoodie and jeans along with some possessions. This includes a goggles he also found on his doorstep, a necklace a strange blue-skinned girl gave him("Phanty," Naruto says, remembering his old friend((2)) ), and the bowl from his first bowl of ramen. After a few minutes, Naruto finished packing(which included a few cups of ramen) he remembered he didn't eat that morning. He made a cup of instant ramen and ate it. "I can barely taste it," Naruto thought sadly as he swallowed.

Naruto was throwing the cup away when a green and black portal appeared in the center of his apartment. Naruto jumped and started to back away from the portal when a skeleton in a black robe walked out of it. "Are you Naruto Uzumaki," it said uninvitingly. Naruto nodded slowly. "Good," the skeleton said cheerfully before he walked up to Naruto and hugged him. "Hello son."

Separating from Grim, Naruto nervously replied, "So… You're my dad."

"Yup." Naruto didn't know what do, while he packed he didn't think about what he was going to do when he met his dad.

"I see you're packed, mon," Grim said awkwardly, trying to break the silence. "Shall we be going." Grim used his scythe to open another portal.

"Give me a second," Naruto asked. He quickly wrote a note to the Hokage, asking if he would say good-bye to his friends for him. "Let's go." Naruto shouldered his bag and walked into portal with his new dad.
