Contract Of The Shinigami

"Last thing is that people like the Sandaime and Yondaime who used the imperfect contract with me can't be revived no matter what. That's the price they pay for the using that jutsu. Their souls are held within this pot right here to never be let out again," The Shinigami said and Naruto looked at it in awe and slight sadness. In there was his admiration, the Yondaime, and his surrogate grandfather, Sarutobi Hiruzen. The blonde felt so close to them, but so far away. It really made him sad, but for some reason it wasn't as lasting as the blonde thought.

"Alright just one last question," Naruto said and the Shinigami nodded at it's summoner.

"Alright what is it?" The Shinigami asked and Naruto pointed to himself making his summon raise an eyebrow.

"Why me? I mean why did you chose me to be your summoner?" Naruto asked and the Shinigami had to chuckle. Maybe it was from Naruto's embarrassment of being the summoner to him or for his own entertainment the summon wasn't sure.

"I said it's because you interest me. Your the first person to threaten ME of all beings. Your also the first person who had woken up before I could take your soul. Not to mention that even though it didn't hurt, you pierced your chest with that kunai to show how serious to me you were. I think that warrants enough of my interest in you so like I said I keep my eye on interesting things and this is the best way," The Shinigami said and Naruto nodded. His life just got better he figured.

"Alright I think I understand everything. So I can only summon you twice a day, unlike those with the imperfect contract you won't take my soul if I do summon you, and I can revive anyone from the dead so long as I pay back two people. Lastly I can't bring those back who have used you in the imperfect contract, the 'Shiki Fujin' thing that the furball was talking about right?" Naruto asked. The Shinigami nodded in a complete affirmative and the blonde grinned.

"Alright then. I don't know what I can do, but I will be a great summoner to you Shinigami. Umm..is there anything else I can call you? Do you have a name?" Naruto asked. The Shinigami raised an eyebrow and shook his head. Naruto sighed and rubbed the back of his head while wincing at the pain in his body.

"Then I guess I'll call you Shin which should be short for Shinigami. Is that alright?" Naruto asked. The Shinigami shrugged it off and said it didn't matter to the death god at all. Naruto seemed okay with it and nodded.

"Alright then Shin it is," Naruto said and the Shinigami began to fade.

"Oh and just so you know, I recommend that you mix your attire slightly. You stick out too much in that orange thing," Shin said before Naruto gritted his teeth.

"Orange is cool!" Naruto yelled and immediately he turned to see next to him looking at him like he was insane.

"Who are you talking to Gaki?" a white haired man asked. Naruto turned to him and blushed in embarrassment.

"Oh I was thinking out loud is all Ero-sennin. What are you doing here?" Naruto asked leaning up from his bed. The man gritted his teeth and pointed at the blonde.

"I'm not Ero-sennin! I'm the Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku. The woman swoon when they here my name. I am Jiraiya the Toad Sage!" The man said and Naruto sighed at his pervert teacher. He always was weird to the blonde and he would never be any different, but Naruto went with it.

"Yeah whatever Ero-sennin so what do you want again?" Naruto asked him. Jiraiya pouted then grumbled about young people and disrespect to their elders, but then he got serious.

"Fine I'll make this quick then. Your going on a two year training trip with me. It's time I taught you more and since your in the village I'm not around much, but it's a different story if I'm with you," Jiraiya said and Naruto's eyes gleamed. He instantly smiled, but it lessened when he saw Jiraiya's serious face.

"But before you go, I'm gonna tell you this now. Give up on Sasuke. He made his choice and nothing will change that. He's a traitor who hurt his friends, his comrades and went to Orochimaru for power. If you pursue Sasuke then you are only doing a fool's errand," Jiraiya said and Naruto looked at the sheets. The blonde narrowed his eyes and he looked at the seal on his right hand. He then touched the seal on his stomach and grinned.

"Well then I'll take the fool's errand. To either be wise and have no friends or be a fool with lots of friends, I'll be the fool my entire life. I'll do amazing things on my own. I know Shin will help me," Naruto said making Jiraiya raise an eyebrow while the blonde cursed.

"Who's Shin?" Jiraiya asked and Naruto gulped for a second.

"Sorry different thought, but you get my point. I'm completely serious," Naruto said and Jiraiya sighed while jumping off the window ledge.

"The thought of an idiot like you trying to do things on his own is downright stupid and I'll be lucky if you don't meet the Shinigami too early," Jiraiya said Naruto chuckled hesitantly while he looked at his right hand.

"You've got no idea Ero-sennin," Naruto thought with a grin.

"If your this set on being a fool, then I'll just make sure you have the tools to make this foolish errand. Pack your things. We've got things to take care of right now," Jiraiya said then shunshined out the window. Naruto stayed in his bed and grinned. He laid his head on the pillow and looked back at the seal on his right hand.

"The first Shinigami summoner. How cool is that dattebayo," Naruto thought and before long he went to sleep. It was then that the Shinigami, Shin appeared and looked at his blonde summoner.

"Hehe, a fool's errand huh? Well the fools are the most interesting. Looks like I'll get to see something really good," Shin said before finally disappearing. Naruto had no idea what was in store with him and his life.
