Hey guys and girls.

Welcome back to the new chapter of Naruto: Rise Of The Reaper.

So the last place we left off was where Naruto was visited by Kami and was told of what he truly was. Naruto is now the new Shinigami, thanks to his father doing something and the sudden overload of power that resulted in Naruto and the Shinigami to merge into one being.

Being told that he is a being with a physical body but not entirely part of the human world, it makes clear work of what Naruto has become.

A being that is both alive and dead.

But what is going to happen now?

Will the family enjoy the fact that Naruto is the new Shinigami?

Can they make sense of what their son has become?

Find out.

As well. I'm not sure how things will play out. But as we go on. I may end up adding Kushina and Kasumi into the harem.

Enjoy.

Disclaimers: I own nothing.

Chapter 3: Playing With Death.

A new morning. New challenges as they say. Naruto was never one for rest. In fact. He didn't even need it. He never felt exhausted. Never sleep deprived. Kami also did mention to him last night when he arrived home that he didn't need to sleep at all. There was no point.

He was right now sitting by the window sill of his room. Gazing out at the village as the sun rose and woke up the occupants. His room was simple. Things like women from swimsuit magazines, erotic manga and other things like that were never in his room. Just a simple bed, a closet and a mirror. Honestly. Why did he have that thing in his room. Whenever he stood before the mirror. He never saw his reflection. But then again. Kami did say that he was from this world. But not at the same time. He'd be throwing the mirror out one of these days.

A knock echoed into his room. Turning his attention to the door. Naruto turned to the door.

"What?" he blurted out in irritation.

"Sochi? It's me. Your kaa-chan." said Kushina on the other side of the door.

"What do you want?" he barked.

"May I come in?" questioned Kushina in a rather shaky voice.

"Fine." snapped Naruto.

The door creaked open as the red haired woman stepped into the room. Her long flowing red hair fell down to her knees. She wore a green dress with a white apron over that. Her body was kept wonderful. She still looked like she was 24, even though she was approaching her mid thirties. Everyone around the village and beyond called her a MILF. Naruto didn't care.

Sparing a glance at the ring around her neck and the aura about her. Naruto found that she still had plenty of life before her. Both were still glowing white.

"What do you want?" asked Naruto going back to brooding.

"I've made some food for you. Please come and eat." she stated in a rather depressed voice.

"Not hungry." was all Naruto said.

Kushina took in her son. He looked so frail. As if he'd break apart at any moment. She didn't want her son to die. Not just yet. She felt bad for isolating him like that. But the doctors did say it was for the best.

"Please, sochi. You must eat something." begged Kushina again.

Naruto knew what his mother was doing. She was trying to mend the relationship between him and her. Sadly, Naruto couldn't do it. The doctor obviously said that they were to distance themselves from him. But sadly, they were weak. Instead of distancing themselves from him, they should've spent more time with him. Create as many happy memories with him before he passed on. Bad clearly that didn't happen. Naruto was going to live on. As the new Shinigami. But they didn't know that.

"Not hungry." said Naruto again.

"Naruto Uzumaki." snapped Kushina slamming her foot on the floor. "You will come down and eat something right now."

Getting up and sighing, Naruto moved towards the door. But as he walked, something soon caught his sense of smell. The smell of a soul that was ready to be harvested wafted into his nose. Sniffing the air, Naruto licked his lips. Kushina thought that she had done a good job with the food she prepared for him. But what she didn't expect was for him to shoot through the window. Shattering it as he moved through the window. She watched him drop from his height, and land on a roof.

Sprinting to the window, she watched her son literally float along the roof and move at speeds that were beyond imagine. Choosing to follow him, she sped out the window and landed on the roof. Following him, she found that he was moving at speeds never imagined. Like he was going faster that mach 5.

Keeping he own as she barely stayed up, she found him shoot into a window of someone's house. But instead of shattering it like the one in her house, she watched him phase right through it.

"Is that a new jutsu?" she said to herself as she jumped down and sprinted to the apartment Naruto was in.

Throwing the door open, she moved in a found a rather old man looking up at Naruto. But that didn't scare her. Oh no. It was that black souls flowed around Naruto's feet. Seeping through the floor boards as Naruto looked on at the man.

"Your time is up." said Naruto in a neutral tone.

Raising a hand up, Naruto summoned up a large scythe. Shadows exploded off the scythe as his hands grabbed the swirling mass of shadows. Kushina was baffled beyond compare.

"Any last words?" asked Naruto.

Kushina continued to watch on. Thinking her son was about to commit murder. Why would he kill an old man? Why? It didn't make any sense. And from his tone. Naruto seemed to be comfortable with taking life.

"I'm coming, my love." said the man raising his head as Naruto propped the scythe up in a swing.

"Rest in peace." said Naruto as he swung the scythe.

Kushina watched as the man's head slid off his body. Landing on the floor with a dull thud as it rolled about before stopping by Naruto's foot. She was about to protest to her son that violence was wrong, and that what he did was considered evil on so many levels. But stopped herself when Naruto reached out his hand.

The corpse of the man began to shake and soon exploded. But no blood and guts were seen. Instead. A pure blue orb was seen floating where the man once was. Naruto reached out and took the orb into his hand. Kushina watched as the orb was lifted into the air and was soon swallowed whole by her son. Her mind doing its best to try and process what just happened.

Naruto soon let go of the scythe which vanished into a flurry of black souls while the souls around Naruto's feet vanished as if they were never there.

"Pass on to the next life." said Naruto as he turned around and saw his mother standing there.

A face of horror on her face as she struggled to form words.

Not even saying anything. Naruto moved towards her. Kushina was about to hug her son, try and comfort him for what he did. But she didn't expect him to phase right through her. Turning around, she watched her son move out the apartment and out into the streets. Shocked beyond compare at what happened.

One thing was clear in her mind. What just happened?

And scene.

So Kushina has seen what Naruto does with regards to his job. Though she doesn't know he is the new Shinigami. After witnessing commit a murder and do it with a straight face. She begins to wonder if this was something her son had been doing for a while now.

But for Naruto. It was just another soul that was ready to be reaped and sent to the afterlife. That was all. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Can Kushina and Minato, not to mention the other siblings come to accept the fact that Naruto eats souls?
