It seems that I have not gained the complete trust of my master. The devil somehow knew I interacted with others on my last mission…I know he's disappointed since he hasn't sent me to the surface in months…instead, I was put through more torture with training but this time, he knew my weaknesses. He uses gen-jutsu now and tries to crack my brain into thinking that he killed Kakashi and Naruto…he doesn't know about the others yet…but this has gotten to the point of complete hopelessness. However, I learned many things that will instantly put me away for good. Plans that the devil has for the surface and he is going to use me to complete his dream…Luckily, I was able to come up with a plan to help weaken his plans. Perhaps it's time I didn't act anymore. I should carefully calibrate this so I don't lose my spirit…now that I have no soul, it will be much easier to break me. I think it's time I start being the reaper he is trying to mold me into…an unbreakable beast. I have to be careful not to lose my spirit in the process or I'm finished. This way, it will be as if I turned into the monster he wanted and then I might be able to learn more about his plans.

"Okay my dear. I think you've gotten the point. Now I must tell you about summons." The devil said in front of me.

We just finished another training exercise that almost made me break but I was able to hold strong.

"Summons? You mean shinobi can summon me?" I asked with a serious tone.

"Precisely. Do you remember what happened on your last anbu mission? The one where you were killed and turned into a reaper?"

How could I not.

"There are only three shinobi in the world that knows how to summon you. Otherwise, the secrets were in those scrolls you have to take back on that last anbu mission you had. That is how I was able to take your soul in time. I ordered a demon to infiltrate that very village and pose as a fellow soldier. He used the reaper summon jutsu and summoned me to come take your soul." The devil said.

It was him this whole time…no wonder I couldn't sense his chakra presents that day…it was a demon.

"What about the summons then?" I asked impatiently.

"When someone on the surface summons you, you appear as a demon. This jutsu is one of my favorites. It is called the Reaper Death Seal Jutsu." He said.

My eyes widened in shock. That jutsu is forbidden! The Fourth used that to seal the nine tails inside Naruto…

"Ah so you know of it. Then you also know that when the shinobi summons you, you have to take the soul of the summoner as well to complete the jutsu. Although, the only thing I don't like about it is that the reaper which is you, has the choice to eat the summoner's soul and take it to oblivion or you can set it free but either way, the summoner has to die. However, you have to eat the souls the summoner makes you take…good souls and bad." The devil said with a smile.

I spit some blood out on the ground as I kept my sights set on him.

"Why are you just now telling me about this?"

"Well it seems that one of the shinobi is thinking of summoning you. I can feel it when they think about it. You should too except you would feel a strange tingle in your reaper scar I engraved into you." He said as he pointed to my middle finger were the sideways black cross ring was.

I was wondering about that. This is good though…this means I'll be able to use my new technique that will hopefully weaken the devil's plans.

"It is only a matter of time now. I've seen a large battle commencing in a village on the surface." He said with a smile.

A village attack? Oh no! What if it's Konoha!

"Soon you shall be summoned up there. I want you to do something else for me though. It seems that there is quite a big mess of things happening up there and I need you to capture more souls for me. I want you to captures souls from the dead. So I'm going to need all the ones you have not needed to kill but have been killed from other shinobi. I will allow you to have one clone outside of the reaper summon to collect souls. You are still allowed to use your sphere jutsu, I have no hold over you but I don't want any screw ups." He said seriously.

He gave me a frightening look to tell me that if I did screw up, he will punish me.

" Ah and the hand signs have been made. It is time you go now dearie. Eat me some yummy souls." He said with a smile as he kissed my hand and suddenly I felt myself being transformed.

The next thing I knew, I was a demon wearing a ghostly white robe with a blue soul floating in front of me…but this soul is very familiar. I looked ahead to see a man and two of his clones. It seems we were in complete darkness but I sensed three souls... one was a deep violent purple colored…this one looks just like Orochimaru's…and the others were just blue.

So it seems I finally get to take creepy Orochipedo down…I'm just fine with this…but who summoned me?

Suddenly the man that summoned me was stabbed and pushed behind me and looked around so more to also notice that I had a knife in my mouth…must have been to cut the souls with.

This doesn't look good…I thought dad told me it wasn't safe to have knifes in my mouth-giggles-

I lifted the beads in my left hand and weaved them around my arm to begin. I then cringed as the tattoo on my middle finger expanded and weaved a strange design down my arm. I then looked at the soul that floated in front of me and pierced into its back so the summoner could use me to take out souls.

"Finally it is finished and not a moment too soon." I heard my summoner say and my spirit suddenly trembled with sadness.

No it can't be!

The third Hokage stepped in front of me.

"Awe already tired old man? I thought there was more to you than that! Are you going to ever show me that jutsu of yours!?" Orochimaru said.

He can't see me?

Suddenly Sarutobi sensei's clones started running through the darkness and towards the blue souls. He has a great feel for when someone is near, even finding them in the dark. He grabbed the two blue souls and summoned me to reach through him to grab those souls and take them out of their shells. When I did, the darkness lifted and I looked to see that it was the first and second Hokage!

What has Orochimaru done!? He must have used the reanimation jutsu!

"Forgive me, first hokage…second hokage…Now seal!" Sarutobi said.

I took the souls completely out but noticed that Sarutobi's chakra is dangerously close to gone. Will he have enough to get Orochimaru? The souls were sealed within Sarutobi until it was time that I ate them…I never ate souls before…I wonder how they taste…

The bodies soon disintegrated and in the ashes, were two sound shinobi…they were the souls I captured. I have no knowledge of what happened to the real hokage souls. I then took the chance to look around again and it seems that we were on a roof top but there were many trees around…Sarutobi must have used a lot of earth style jutsu along with another summon to bring forth Enma. I took the chance to make my human clone and thrust it through this barrier that was put up. I then carefully divided my attention into 2 parts…something no ninja is able to do. I am able to keep focus on reaper jutsu as well as control and use my other clone as if it was the real me. I then directed my attention back to Sarutobi's battle as well as my other clones.

~Human Clone POV~

"Oh no…it is Konoha that was attacked…" I whispered to myself as I looked around.

I looked around a bit and saw smoke arising from the village. I looked to be standing on top of the middle building outlooking the arena. The hokage sat up here when battles were faught in exams. I then looked down and immediately saw the one man I loved so dearly through a crowd of colorful clothed people. Kakashi. My heart skipped a beat when i first layed eyes on him and it was the most soul soothing sight to see my silver haired man again. It seems the people inside the arena were put under a sleeping gen jutsu…this is good I guess…that way they don't get hurt in the cross fire. This must be the chunin exams…why else would so many people be here…I wonder how Naruto did…

I kept my sphere lock jutsu up so I don't attract any unnecessary attention. I jumped down and made my way over to Kakashi and Guy as they attacked and killed the traitors. I jumped up and summoned my death scythe and summoned the jutsu I worked so hard on.

"Chakra stock star release! Secret Art, Soul copy Jutsu!" I said as I forced the chakra I stored in the purple star behind my neck into my scythe.

Tsunade gave me the Chakra Stock Seal to store chakra when i first started Anbu; she uses the same with the diamond on her forehead. This jutsu however, is used when I clash my kekki genkai with reaper style and I copy the soul I capture and make an exact chakra soul copy and send that down to hell as if it was the real deal and then release any innocent souls I captured. I don't do the same with red evil souls because they just plain deserve to suffer. -) Anyways, I swung my scythe at the souls that were rising from the bodies of the dead sound and sand ninja and copied their souls and released them. I did this for a while and then noticed that Naruto was caught under the same gen-jutsu and asleep on the ground.

I looked around closer to examine the caotic clash of kunai that sparked in front of me and I couldn't help but remember the same sparks that I saw when my mother attacked me. My eyes were caught on a familiar pink haired kouinichi hiding only 7 isles up from where i stood. It seems Sakura released the jutsu from herself so she was hiding in between the isles and I saw an attack about to happen but Kakashi jumped in front of her and killed the shinobi.

"Sakura, it was well worth teaching you about gen-jutsu for the Genin exams. I need you to stay here while I trim the enemies numbers down to size." He said with a soothing closed eyed smile.

This makes me remember why I loved Kakashi so much… He is very protective and protects his team well. I knew I could trust him.

It also seems that the Nara kid is faking…I guess it is good he stays down…

This battle looks bad though. The whole village seems to be under attack. I left the small team for a moment and climbed on top of the roof. A fair portion of the village was damaged and it seems that a giant Boa snake is terrorizing the village. Sound and Sand village seemed to be attack within as well…

"What have you done Orochimaru?" I spat with anger as I gazed at the damage.

To prove to the devil that I was now his reaper, I tried capturing and copying the souls of the leaf's ninja too so it looked like I was heartless and completely at his command now that I collected from my own vilage but every innocent soul was released after being copied…this will most definitely weaken his army.

The devil's plan is to use the souls I captured to attack the 5 great nations and steal everyone's chakra and become the strongest. Hopefully, if this jutsu works, the devil won't know that I am sending chakra souls to hell. Every soul holds chakra from the shell and spirit of the person they were in so if this chakra soul copy jutsu works, I can release it when the time comes and his army won't be as big. However, the souls I have captured already, before I discovered his plan, are strong enough to take down two nations so I must plan carefully.

I jumped around the village and captured over a hundred souls in seconds and ran back to the arena. Kakashi was protecting Sakura again but he looked a bit tired.

"Sakura, release the gen-jutsu on Naruto and Shikimaru. Naruto will be thrilled to know I have a mission for him." Kakashi said before attacking another shinobi."

"A mission at this time!? What kind of a mission?" Sakura asked with a hint of fear in her voice.

"It's an A rank mission. Be prepared since we haven't had one like this since the land of waves." Kakashi said.

So it has come to this has it…these children have to go on dangerous missions again…

"But sensei that would require a four man squad! Does that mean you are coming with us?" Sakura asked.

"No…I have someone else who will be going with you." Kakashi said as he used the kunai to pierce his thumb.

He did some hand signs and summoned Pakkun on a sleeping man's back.

"You're sending us on a mission with a puppy!?" Sakura asked in shock.

Ohhhh Sakura you are in trouble! Only I was able to call Pakkun a cute puppy and get away with it.

"Pakkun will protect you. Now go wake Naruto and Shikamaru, I will explain the details of the mission when you have." Kakashi then said.

"Little girl, I wouldn't call me a cute puppy if I was you." Pakkun said.

"Gomen…."

Kakashi covered them as they crawled their way up and over to Naruto and Shikamaru. She released the jutsu from Naruto and looked over with irritation since she noticed Shikamaru was faking it. I went falling on my butt laughing when Pakkun bit him and he started stretching out his face and such. I bet Pakkun was going to be funny and bribe the kid to touch his paw…although I have to admit that it was really soft…

Suddenly a sound ninja appeared behind Naruto but thankfully Guy was fast and he pushed him into the wall and created a giant hole. Kakashi appeared and began to explain.

"Alright, now Sasuke went after Gaara and the other sand shinoi, I need you guys to go and stop him. When you have, stay there and wait for further orders." Kakashi said as he continued dodging kunai.

"Yes! Finally a worthy mission! I have to train more though and make sure I can help protect Kiki sensei when she returns!" Naruto said with enthusiasm as he jumped out the hole.

My eyes widened and I looked over at Kakashi who seemed saddened but Guy patted his back and they both started going again.

"Come on Kakashi! I have killed 32 now, let's see if you can beat me!" Guy stated with a sparkling smile.

Oh Guy I'm so glad you are here... but did Kakashi tell Naruto about me?

~Reaper POV~

Ugh stupid Orochimaru! Stay the frick still damn it!

Just as I said that, Sarutobi was able to catch Orochimaru off guard and grab him.

Now's my chance!

I reached out and grasped the gross purple soul and started to slowly pull it out…however, Sarutobi is very weak and way past his chakra limit…he's a walking dead man now. I tried to use more of my chakra to help him rip out the soul and I was partially successful until Orochimaru summoned his sword to come forth and stab Sarutobi. I tried to hold my emotions in and turned a bit to see that Enma tried to stop the blade but has failed.

Damnit…

With my good hearing, I heard an energetic voice far into the village.

"Thank goodness that Jiraiya's here." I suddenly heard Jiraiya sensei say from a far off distance and I looked over to see that he summoned a large frog to stop the Boas.

Thank goodness indeed Jiraiya sama.

"Sarutobi…" Enma said.

I directed my attention over again and watched.

"There was no need to dodge the blade. I will die with this jutsu and I am happy to die if I can take you with me." Saruto said.

I'm going to interfere a bit and help out.

"This jutsu will take your soul and it will forever suffer in the belly of the reaper! The seal and the sealer's soul's will forever intertwine in hatred and be forever lost until the end of time!" Sarutobi said.

Not if I have a say in the matter of where your soul goes sensei.

Suddenly I released the souls from Sarutobi's seal on his belly and cut them using the blade I had in my mouth. I began to eat them in order to scare Orochimaru.

"This thing is the reaper!?" Orochimaru said in shock.

Jeez do I have to wear a "Hello My Name Is Reaper" Sticker on my robe or something so people aren't so oblivious!?

The souls screamed within me and I have to say that they do taste good…maybe they taste good because I have a reaper tongue…

"You old fool! Do you think I will stand here like a frightened child and do nothing!?" Orochimaru yelled before trying to inch the blade further into Sarutobi.

There isn't much time left! I have to finish this now!

I worked more chakra into my hand and was able to help Sarutobi pull out Orochimaru's soul. Sarutobi felt more pain in the process since I was pushing so much chakra but I was able to take out Orochimaru's soul and his body fell limp and dead on the ground.

"What is this! There is more chakra here than I summoned!" Sarutobi said.

I ate the gross purple soul and would have gotten sick in human form and probably go through lots of therapy but I bucked up and took the soul down and into oblivion…sadly, it was time Sarutoi went too.

"At least I was able to take Orochimaru out…" Sarutobu then said with a smile.

Enma smiled but felt greatly pained that Sarutobi had to die. He was dismissed in a cloud of smoke and I quickly severed Sarutobi's soul from my reaper form. This time though, I transported myself and his soul into an afterlife realm to speak with him one last time.

A white space surrounded us and I smiled at Sarutobi in my human form.

"Tsukiko? You have grown into quite a beautiful lady…so I guess this means I have passed now." He said with a smile.

"Same pervy old man I see –giggles-."

"Hey I'm dead now so I can say what I want! -chuckles- So why are you here? Kakashi reported several months ago that you were a reaper and to treat you as a rouge ninja…is this true?" Sarutobi then asked with a sad tone.

"Yes. When I died so many years ago, my soul was taken but I'm trying to do good with my work instead of evil and much still needs to be done but I have turned into a killing monster now which is why I wanted him to warn you…but that is not why I wanted to talk to you." I said as I smiled weakly at him.

"You could never be a monster but it was you who was behind me. You were the one that helped to get Orochimaru's soul." He said.

"How did you….hmmm it seems that your wisdom and intelligence never ceases to surprise me. I wanted to thank you sensei... for protecting the village for so long and I hope that your wisdom passes on throughout the village. The will of fire will live on and thrive but you will be greatly missed. Especially by me...see you were always there for everyone with a pained heart and I just wanted to say that I wish to one day be as great as a person as you are now." I said with a closed eye smile.

"One day, I believe you will be an even greater person than I, and I know the village will be just fine. There are many strong shinobi out there but Kiki…I hope you can find a way out of this mess you are in. I can see that the will of fire still burns brilliantly and strong in your heart but you have been poisoned with sorrow. But I also know that you are very much loved. Just remember that. " He said as he hugged me.

"Thank you sensei... I have to release your soul now. You are not bonded with Orochimaru so he will be sent somewhere else. You just rest in peace…tell Minato I said hi. It was good to see you one last time…" I said in the hug.

Slowly, the white scenery started to fade along with Sarutobi's smiling face and I heard his last request very clearly before he was gone.

"Tell Asuma and Konohamaru that I love them. The will of fire lives on."

I suddenly began to cry but didn't let it last long since I had much more to do. The barrier was removed as Orochimaru's thugs took him away and I pulled myself together and decided to take the sphere jutsu off so I can talk to Naruto and the others.

~Shadow Clone's POV~

I successfully followed Naruto, Pakkun, Sakura, and Shikamaru over to where Sasuke and Gaara were but the sight was bad. It seems that Orochimaru bit Sasuke a while back after my last encounter with them and his curse is slowly eating away at Sasuke. He absolutely cannot let hatred consume him or that curse will take over his conscious or worst case scenario…it will kill him. It seems that Orochimaru wants his power...It's good I ate his soul. Looks like someone was able to seal the curse mark with a seal which is why it is taking a long time to consume Sasuke…if this is a hush hush situation, Kakashi must have done it then since he is their team leader.

In a matter of minutes, it seems that Sakura was caught in the sand fist of Gaara and it took me a moment to figure out that he held one of the Jinchuurikis like Naruto…but his was taking over. It looks like Shikaku the one tailed beast…he is a very dangerous monster. I know all of them since they were an old plan the devil tried to use to take over but they are demonic beasts that broke out of hell and the devil's grasp. I watched Naruto strategize but in the type of situation he was in, I might have to intervene. If it is to protect the people I love and cherish than I don't care how much or what the devil does to punish me.

Sorry to kind of just jump through the whole epicness but I will slow down and add more details in the chapter yet to come and Le Gasp! What is Kiki doing! She's going to be in so much trouble with that Devil fella if she isn't careful! Thanks for reading…sorry I left you with a cliffhanger but hey that sort of means you like it so far so I will post very soon! Onto writing the next chapter and OH Happy New Year's! Yay 2013 I graduate this year =3
