Hey guys and girls.
Welcome to the new chapter of Naruto: Rise Of The Reaper.
So the first chapter, being the prologue. Naruto has found a new way to feed. And this is in the form of devouring souls. What he learnt was that he gains more power while he also feels satisfied. Like his hunger vanished from his body.
With the sudden enjoyment, Naruto begins to act on this delicious ecstasy. He will begin to feed more and more. To him, this is too intoxicating. Now he wants more and more of it.
He just can't stop.
As well.
Enjoy.
Disclaimers: I own nothing.
Chapter 1: Death Awakens.
It had been 6 years since Naruto had found the pleasures of devouring souls. It sent him on such a high that he didn't know how to stop the feeling anymore. He kept saying to himself. Last one then no more. But whenever he found a corpse. He'd see the soul. And just devour it without thinking. What was wrong with him? What was he doing?
It had also been the sudden root of his reason to hunt down people. Ever since he devoured his first soul. He was suddenly able to see the auras around people. A pure white aura was for some reason, off limits. But when the aura was black. His hunger would suddenly spike. Compeling him to eat the soul of the person. In addition to the aura, he could see a ring around people's necks. This would always be a different colour than the aura. He noticed, that if someone had a white aura, the ring would sometimes be black. Come a few hours down the line, he'd find the man dead by a murder or something simple. Like a heart attack. Or something like that.
But right now.
A man dashed down the dead streets of Konoha. His face in terror and anguish as he sprinted. Looking over his shoulder as he continued to run. The moon lighting up his path as he scurried like a mouse in a maze. Moving through the concrete jungle of the village. He knocked over some crates, spilling som goods as he madly dashed away. A shadow zoomed over along the rooftops.
Turning down a road, he came to a grinding halt. Dead ended, he spun on his heels and looked to the exit. Only for the one who was following him to drop down. Obstructing his escape.
"Please. I beg of you. Let me go." he begged to the man as he saw his eyes open to reveal them to be glowing purple.
"Sorry. But your time is up. I can see it." said the man as a scythe appeared in his hands.
"No. Please." he begged only for his hand to find his kunai pouch.
Smiling as he pulled out a few kunai, he threw it. But his eyes widened in horror when he saw them phase right through him.
The shadowed man shook his head.
"No one gets the concept. I can't be killed." he said as he began to spin the scythe in his hands.
With every spin, the scythe blade began to glow white. The sounds of screams and cries echoed through the alley as the shadowed man approached his prey.
"No, please. I beg you. Don't kill me. I'll serve you. I'll do anything you wish." he said getting on his knees.
"I work alone." said the shadowed man as he swung the scythe.
The head of the man slid off as the body went limp. Letting the scythe go, it vanished in a vapour of shadows as the corpse of the man exploded to reveal a pure blue soul.
Licking his lips as he grabbed the soul. Naruto opened his mouth and swallowed the orb whole. Gulping down, Naruto felt his power grow ever more stronger.
But as he was about to move away, a blinding white light shot out and forced Naruto to cover his eyes. It felt familiar for some reason, but alien at the same time.
"No need to fear me, Naruto." came a voice as the light vanished to reveal a woman with snow white hair, an angelic face, a cresent moon on her forehead and a wonderful body covered by a white robe.
"Who are you?" asked Naruto looking to the woman.
"I am Kami." she replied.
"What do you want from me?" he hissed as he summoned up his scythe.
"I wish for nothing. However, I am here to inform you that you are more than what you are now." said Kami as Naruto let go of his scythe which vanished in black vapour.
"Oh?" said Naruto.
"Yes. Have you ever wondered why souls are so delicous? How your power grows ever more srtonger with each soul eaten?" asked Kami.
"And you know?" asked Naruto.
"I do in fact. You have the power of the Shinigami in you. Or should I say, you are the Shinigami. You're the new Shinigami." said Kami making Naruto arch an eyebrow.
"How is that possible? How can I be the Shinigami?" asked Naruto.
"Your father. He made a small mistake. He sealed the Shinigami inside you. However, the sudden overload of power from the Shinigami triggered a change in the seal. And caused the seal to force a merge between you and the deity of death. Which turned you into the new Shinigami." stated Kami.
"I am like this because of my father?" asked Naruto with Kami nodding her head.
"Correct. It was all a mistake. A mistake that has just been rectified." said Kami with Naruto raising an eyebrow.
"How so?" asked Naruto.
"You've already begun feeding off the souls that were meant to die. So the balance has been fixed." said Kami with Naruto summoning up his scythe with him jumping on it and sitting down.
"So, you know a lot about the Shinigami and all. But what about my power?" asked Naruto with Kami nodding her head.
"Ah yes. As you may have noticed, when you ate your first soul. You began to see auras of people and rings around their necks." said Kami with Naruto nodding his head. "Now, as the Shinigami, it is forbidden to tell someone how much time they have left. The ring is to show what will happen in the near future. Something like 20 minutes from now and so on. The aura is their overall life. Should a person have a white aura and a black ring. Then reaping that soul will happen. Now if the ring is white and the aura is black, reaping can also happen. Other colours will prevent you from reaping."
"So, I am to only reap souls when the ring and aura or either are black." said Naruto as Kami nodded her head.
"Exactly. Now, as a Shinigami, you only have the power to see people's auras and their current state. You can't do anymore than that. But, after you've devoured a certain amount of souls. You shall gain your final form. Reaper Mode." said Kami.
"And what does that do?" said Naruto.
"Reaper Mode is a form on you can do. Seeing that you're the new Shinigami made flesh, your powers are restricted. So, you have to build yourself up by eating souls. Now, once you've gained the necessary power, you will be able to ascend into your Reaper Mode. While in Reaper Mode. Your strength and overall power is quadrupled. And reaping souls become easier." said Kami.
"How do you know this?" asked Naruto.
"I've known Shinigami for a while. I know how he works." said Kami making Naruto go pale you'd hardly notice.
"And what of the ability where I phase through things?" asked Naruto.
"In a way. Your physical presence has been distorted ever since you merged with the Shinigami. You still have a physical body. But because of it being distorted, you are in this world. But not in this world if you know what I mean." said Kami with Naruto nodding his head.
"Is there anything else?" uquestioned Naruto.
"Nope. That's all. Good luck." said Kami vanishing from sight.
And scene.
So Naruto has now been known of his powers and what he is to do while he is on the world. With his now being the new Shinigami, he is to build up his power in order to try and attain Reaper Mode. A powerful form that he can do once he has enough souls.
Chapter 2: Playing With Death.
