Reapers Invitation

So far it has been a bit hectic at my place. I don't understand why but Naruto and Sasuke fight a lot. It is good since I think brothers should do some fighting with each other the only issue is-*CRASH!* Black lines form on me as I began releasing a cold aura making the two shiver, especially Naruto "What did I tell you two about fighting in the house?" I say looking at the with a smile though to them it seems like the smirk of the devil. I quickly make hand seals "Metal Release: Demon Spiders Cage" Metallic threads emerge from my hands and wrap around the two from foot to neck. I then proceed to hang my two little silk worms out on the roof outside.

This jutsu I made actually came to me when watching a spider snare a fly. I started thinking how we can use rope and threads to bind an enemy but a lot of ninja can escape from those things. But what if I used my Metal Element in the strings? The result was near indestructible strings. "I told you two to stop fighting in the house. Now another window is broken." I shake my head and leave them there. Sasuke has black lines on his face and naruto is squirming around wanting released.

I head over to Ino's place. It isn't surprising that I don't find her there since she has been going out to play with that Sakura girl. I sometimes catch that Sakura girl giving glances at me but she shows even more interest in Sasuke. I wonder if it was that love at first sight thing. Shrugging I just began heading to Shikamarus.

It was very quite as I walked which was nice it let me think about things 'Wait quite?' I looked around and noticed there wasn't anyone around not even an animal. Just the winds "What's going on..." I hear a clang coming from behind me and quickly I turn to find a shurikan on the ground. Reach back I feel cold metal on my neck and began to shiver. "W-who's there" Four shinobi appear before me. I can't tell who they are as they all wore white featureless mask.

One of them says to the other "I told you it wouldn't work. You gotta put chakra into all your attacks" I realize this wasn't some accident no these people were really trying to kill me. But who would try to kill me in the village?! Soon kunai and small swords are drawn each infused with chakra. I began to run away but ended up falling when a shuriken enveloped in yellow crackling chakra embeds into my right shoulder. My whole arm feels numb. 'It went through my defence!'

"See? it went though that time" I began making hand seals despite the tingle in my right arm "Metal Release: Demon Spiders Cage!" Metalic threads shot from my hands but the four in front of me easily dodge it all "That might work on some Genin but" I hear a voice from my left and felt danger. Lifting my arm I can see as a bloody triangular tip emerges from my arm so close to my face.

I try to move away. I'm scared. So very scared. I have never been so close to death as I was now. These four no longer look l ike people in my eyes but by demons. I hear one of them mumble not to damage my eyes but I ended up pushing that information aside. My back is literally pressed against the wall as they come closer. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die! I see flashes of all my friends and new family. "I DON'T WANNA DIE!"

I scream at the top of my lungs my eyes are in so much pain right now blood dribbling down my cheeks. The four feel a sense of danger so they all through shuriken at me at the same time but before it hits me a figure emerges from the ground causing all the stars to stop mid air.

The figure had long white hair, wild and unruly, grey skin, two horns on it's head, sharp teeth holding a blade and wearing a white robe. It appeared to be both physical and not physical at the same time. The figure looks at me, who at the moment was unconscious but still moving. It places it's hand on my head as if to comfort. My unconscious self looks up at the four attackers a six pointed star swirling in my eyes "Death Release: Reapers Invitation" A cold voice emerges from my mouth as dozens of strings emerge from my body and latch onto all four of the ninjas Strings of Life, all but the main one and each string began to rapidly turn from white straight to black. All their vital organs failed, all their chakra points dimmed and turned useless, their meridians broke like marbles, all their life force and chakra flows into my threads and into my own body causing my wounds to heal. Soon their main strings break and the creature took their souls and vanished.

I wake up in a panic looking around I don't see any attackers just white walls and the smell of medicine 'Great. I'm in the hospital again. Maybe they will start stamping me and give me a free pudding after three more visits' I chuckle to myself only making a joke to calm myself down. Thinking back I remember watching as a blade went through my arm and I pushed myself back only to find myself against a building. Those four figures came closer. I guess I passed out I don't remember anything else.

Grandpa walks in. He seems relieved that I am awake but then he motions his anbu to seal the room to prevent any intruders. "Grandpa? D-did you save me?" Grandpa looks at me and sighs before shaking his head "Marix tell me what happened." I told him everything I could. How I was walking to Shikamarus from Inos. How I felt something was wrong. To the attack on my life. How they knew they had to use chakra infused weapons to harm me. How I thought I heard them mention not to damage my eyes. All to when I passed out.

Grandpa nods "Marix I wasn't the one who saved you in fact no one in the village saved you" I looked up in disbelief "Settle down. I felt something was wrong and I saw you getting attacked through my Crystal Ball and I rushed over as fast as I could. I saw you backed against the wall but before I could even finish my seals a figure emerged" Grandpa explained to me how a Shinigami came out to protect me. He told me about all that happened while I was unconscious. He told me about the jutsu I used and how it sucked the life and chakra out of the four attackers.

I was greatly shocked. Just the thought of having your chakra and life force be drained while you are alive and aware of it is a terrifying thought. "Marix, I am the only one who knows about what really happened. I used Fire Release to burn the four bodies into ash. Everyone in the village will think I saved you. This is to protect you. If anyone knew about that jutsu they would be afraid of you" He gently rubs my head and I have to agree because if someone else did what I did I would be afraid of them too. "Whatever that Jutsu was, even if you did it unconsciously, it is now a forbidden jutsu known only to me and you. If you can try not to use it unless there is no other choice" I nod my head numbly

Grandpa gets up and allows the anbu to release the seals. Almost immediately a young girl burst into the room. It was Ino. Seeing I was okay she began to cry and pounced on me "Marix!!" She sobbed holding onto me. Her dad walked in too but he didn't look happy about his daughter clinging to me. But he allows it reluctantly. Ino has been blaming herself for what happened saying if she was home it wouldn't have happened. I can only rub her back and assure her I was ok. Even my arm was perfectly fine. Hell I felt better than ever in all honesty but I think that is due to me taking four ninjas chakras and life force thus making my own stronger. It really is a scary technique I gotta make sure I don't use it again.

This chapter actually began with him supposed to leave the village with some jonin to study a village who is suffering from a certain sickness but half way through my hands just began typing it as an assassination attempt so I had to change it. There is a saying that if King Yama want's you dead tonight you won't be alive in the morning. I took that and made it into my Reapers Invitation. I am adding two more releases to his stats
