Contract Of The Shinigami

"How many people do you think have said that line? I've seen them all. I should just kill you right now rather than wait for your heart to fail. The jonin that's carrying you isn't gonna make it. Your better off resigning to your fate right now," The Shinigami said and Naruto stood to his feet then proceeded to point at the death god.

"Hmph, I don't care what you think. If I say I'm not dying then I'm NOT dying! There are too many people counting on me and I've got to save Sasuke. He might be an ass, but I'm gonna bring him back," Naruto said and the Shinigami rolled its eyes. Kyuubi simply remained silent and let its container talk it out with the Shinigami.

"You think you have a say in this? When you die you WILL die. That's your final destiny. You will see me again if by the slim chance that you do survive this, which you won't. Face it, I'm taking you whether you like it or not," The Shinigami said and Naruto allowed his blonde hair to cover his eyes. He crossed his fingers and glared at the Shinigami making his conviction and determination clear in his eyes.

"Well your not taking me without a fight. I told you I won't die. Besides, I'm not so weak that I would lose against someone who babbles on about fate and destiny. I'll make it all my own. I'll decide when I die and I'll decide my destiny. So if you think your pale, ghostly, stupid Oni mask wearing face can tell me otherwise then I dare you to try it!" Naruto said raring to go for a fight. Even if it was small to near nonexistent the Shinigami and Kyuubi found some respect for Naruto. No one had ever threatened the Shinigami before so this was interesting. The Shinigami looked at the blonde and then he drew his sword back.

"You really have a mouth you know. I've got little to no tolerance for you humans and your stupidity, but your by far the most interesting. No one has talked to me like that before," The Shinigami said and Naruto took out a kunai from his back pouch. Kyuubi snickered making the two turn to him.

"Please Shinigami if this brat can call the Hokage 'Old Lady' and even me, Furball then there's no way he's gonna respect you that easily. Hell I doubt he respects anyone," Kyuubi said and Shinigami had to agree with him even if the death god didn't voice his agreement. Naruto pouted at Kyuubi's insult and huffed.

"Hey, I respect a lot of people," Naruto said making Kyuubi roll his eyes while the Shinigami raised his own.

"I respect Hokage-Jiji umm...and all the Hokages, especially the Yondaime," Naruto said with a sense of pride. Kyuubi narrowed his eyes and so did the Shinigami. Naruto looked at the two for a second before he looked confused.

"Did I say something wrong?" Naruto asked. Kyuubi broke from its stupor and so did the Shinigami. The death god wasn't sure, but it was getting off its original purpose.

"Well anyway Naruto Uzumaki, your hearts about to stop so it's time to-,"

"I said NO! I'm not dying before I become Hokage. Do what you want, but I'll beat you to a pulp if you try to stop me!" Naruto said thought in his head he knew he was insane. This was the freakin' Shinigami. He was lucky it didn't kill him already and now he had more nerve to threaten the god. Either he was very brave or very stupid, maybe it was both the blonde wasn't sure.

"What makes you think you'll do anything? All you've said are words. You humans always say one thing and mean the other. Your no different. Don't think I don't know you brat. I know how your village treats you. I know everything about you from your birth to right now so what can you do that would make me think that your any different from any other human?" The Shinigami asked. Naruto looked at the ground as he felt the stares of Kyuubi and the Shinigami on him The blonde, for some reason, could feel his heart growing colder and colder. He was feeling dazed and his vision was fading.

"Your beginning to fade brat. In the next few seconds I'll be taking your soul," The Shinigami said. Kyuubi looked at Naruto and wondered what the blonde was going to do. Naruto in the meantime looked at the kunai in his hand and gripped it tightly. Fine, the Shinigami wanted different, then Naruto could very well do different. The blonde raised the kunai in his hands and in a swift motion surprised the Kyuubi and Shinigami when he used it to pierce his chest. Naruto knew that no blood would come from it, but it showed his conviction well enough to the Shinigami who was downright surprised.

"This is how I'm different. My heart is different. I never go back on my word or I have nothing. That's my nindo, my ninja way!" Naruto yelled and the Shinigami narrowed his eyes. If the blonde did that in his conscious state then there would be no way that he would survive. It's like he just gave his soul to the Shinigami without actually handing it over.
