This story is being made to sort of counter Sun's Heir, Death's Guardian... I thought it had potential but it just... fell flat in every way and became filled with cliches and crappy writing.. still it inspired me to make a reverse Naruto Percy Jackson Cross over where Naruto's world is the one that gets the make up not otherwise.
"Why does this look familiar ... Death Reaper Seal, what the heck is that?" Naruto frowned at the image on the Scroll he stole, it looked so familiar he just couldn't pinpoint why... Then it hit him. "Oh that's right!" He lifted up his shirt, and saw the strange seal that appeared whenever he used his chakra. "Why is this on my belly? What do I have to do with the Shi... Shi... " The words stalled in Naruto's mouth as suddenly the world started to spin, everything collasping around him until finally everything went dark...
But only for a second as he found himself looking straight ahead, at a monster!
"AHHH!" He screamed, backing up terrified, only to slam into a cage. A growl made him whip around, only to see a massive Fox staring at him with hungry eyes and nine massive tails. "The Kyuubi!"
"Calm down Naruto, you are embarrassing yourself." The voice was rough, gravely but powerful. It reminded Naruto a lot of the Old Hokage and so he turned around to see the other Monster smiling at him, showing rows of razor sharp teeth. "Now, is that anyway to act towards your father?"
"Father? Your a monster, not my... is that why everyone hates me?" Naruto's soul ached for a moment as he considered the depths of what he was looking at, and the hatred that might have ruined his life.
The monster laughed at him. "Not at all, that would be the beast behind you, which I was forced to seal in your body through your other father."
"Other father... what the hell are you talking about?"
Smiling deeper then before, the monster came more fully into the light and Naruto saw it's full form. It was massive, taller then he was by far with purple skin, white hair and a long robe that showed much of his chest and stomach. He radiated power, oozed it so much it made Naruto's skin crawl, like a magnetic field that pulled him. The mark on his belly ached horribly.
"When you were born, the Beast behind you was sealed in your mother Kushina. It was torn from her, and eventually sealed in you by the Fourth Hokage. He used my power, using a sealing jutsu, to seal half of the Beast Inside of you. However the seal was never meant for that purpose. It was meant to be used on only those who's souls I would consume, to fight forever in my belly... however when it was used on a living mortal, one that lived, something happened that has never happened, my power... that of the Shinigami, flooded a living being and they did not die. Over time this, in effect, rendered you my child. You became a Demigod by virtue of that seal on your body. I have never had a demigod child, my ties to death simply prevented me from having one. You, my sweet boy, are a miracle."
My name is Ashura, one of the countless Orphans of the Leaf village. I shouldn't matter in any real form, blending into the countless many wandering around the village... and yet here I am, standing out in a way no one else could. How you might ask?
I can see the dead.
I'm serious, I know your doubting me, thinking I'm crazy, but I swear it's true. I noticed it when I was younger. At first they were faint, like mirages in the desert, I could safely ignore them... that changed quickly enough... they became almost real as anyone else, and they could talk. Boy did they love to talk, they never really shut up which made it hard to make friends or talk to people when I had ghosts haunting me at all times.
Oh yeah, they seemed drawn to me too, which was weird. They could always find me and boy did they, in masses and droves, sometimes it left me so exhausted I could barely perform at the Academy. Still it wasn't all bad, I could get some cool tips from them and many of them helped me in class. It was kind of cool really, like my own special secret... I used it to get better in the academy and even had some of the many Shinobi Ghosts teach me some jutsu and taijutsu that we weren't learning in the academy. Some cool tricks too like tree climbing and water walking!
Here's the thing though, I have no idea how I can do this... I just... can! It has sort of always been there, I mean I could feel ghosts before I could see them. It was like a weird constant cold front around me... Weird but there...
I wish I knew what the cause of this power was, I fear I never will... what I do know is that I will use this power to make myself into the greatest Shinobi, one that will outshine all the rest... if only I can keep my secret and sanity in tact that is...
So, there is like a fifty percent chance I'll fail...
Powers for Shinigami Kid
See and Sense the Dead
Control the Dead with blood sacrifice
Can dismiss the Edo Tensei as it in in their domain
Is given a weapon from the Shinigami
Some power to take lifeforce or chakra maybe?
Has stark white hair and skin turns purple when tapping into power maybe?
Perks of this- The Shinigami can be turned into a character, like a father getting then to bring honor/glory to their household or treating them with curiosity since they have never had a child...
There are so many ways to play with this!
