Hi
Very little has been done with this crossover; everyone forgot about soul eater. So this crossover is what I'm returning to. This will follow the manga, not the anime, so anime-only folk will be surprised at how different the manga is.
Naruto x Maka
I own nothing
Life is both strange and hard for the orphan boy Uzumaki Naruto. Born with no Ma and Pa, the boy grew up in an orphanage within a village hidden from the world. If it weren't for an old man name Hiruzen Saritobi, his life would have led to nothing but dwelling within a dark ally way preying at the end of a bottle. Becoming a Shinobi and prepared to serve and lead the village, Hiruzen does himself, but nothing could prepare him for this new world.
He is even a stranger within a world where people eat souls, turn into living weapons and do some strange shit. For example, Death is staring at him through a mirror. No joke, not a metaphor but living Death himself, a leader of a massive organization, is talking through a mirror. So, a very, very long time ago, there were monsters called Bijuu that roamed the either when humans were still entering the age of steel, and he has said demon sealed within his gut. Uzumaki Naruto is a time bomb because the overlap of intense Madness could realize this monster.
So, yeah. Naruto needs strength to become stronger than this fox demon slumbering within his Soul by devouring evil souls to keep its sinful Soul locked.
Naruto still finds the concept very confusing, but you stop asking questions and do what is told at one point. Like right now, he was told to wait for why he was summoned by Death. Who is nothing more than a tall black shape with a cartoon skull face?
"Do you eat?" Random question, but it made him ponder.
"Yappy!" Death is ridiculous, like a cartoon.
"So, you shit then?" Honestly, did death poop?
"Language." Death spoke very deeply, making the demon host shiver in fear.
"Touche." Awkwardness, Naruto is not good in total silence, well, when he can't do something. From reading, rarely, working out, training, doing something. But just standing in a single spot waiting for some people for a mission while the current strongest creature on earth is staring at him through a mirror is bothersome.
"What are we waiting for?" He's not a patient person, not in the slightest. Not for Iruka, grandpa, or Death himself. He didn't know why he was even transferred here in the first place.
"Well, earlier tonight, some mister and weapon duo, unlike you, went through a particular task," While the strange speech pattern left, that voice remained the same. "The six fought Proffecer Stein; you will do the same." A test of ability, nothing that massive. "I wish to see your two souls in stressful combat."
"It's not my soul," Naruto snapped at Death himself, how his blue eyes narrowed. "I am myself, and it's a demon. End of story." Death, twisting his mask, neck, head? Hearing such a harsh statement about something, Naruto knows nothing.
"Oh, I see." It seems the information hasn't been explained thoroughly. "A Tailed beast is no demon child, and I subject you accept that fact." Those tailed beasts have ordinary souls, powerful and robust souls that will be reformed after Death. They're no different than a force of nature, not a demon.
"Have you ever wondered why the nine tails attack your village? How does someone that massive appear?" There are always two sides, and Death is fully aware of the abuse the creatures have faced. They are constantly being forced to fight others' wars.
This little mock argument ended hearing the sound of heavy steps.
"Aww, Stein, finally arrived." Death said one more, entering this strange child singalong personality.
"The fuck?" The Uzumaki is confused beyond belief. Before him stands a man with pale skin and white hair, but he had a damn screw with a head the size of his palm sticking from his skull—stitches everywhere, from the lab coat and sweeter to his skin. The man is something different; it felt like standing before Kabuto again.
He seeps with Madness.
While the two men spoke back and forth, it was drowned by the bane of his life talking to him. It's wrong; Kyubi has never spoken to him like this before. Only ones when he first encountered his Soul. Back on that damn bridge.
They despise each other. Not even bothering with a mutual relationship; instead, both wish nothing for the other's Death. Of course, the demi-immortal that would reform will always win, so for him to warn him of this man and not Death is something to take seriously.
Twisting the bolt him his skull, the smoking man smiled in the most unpleasant way possible. He stares directly into his chest, not bothering to hide his eyes, exploring his Soul. Naruto took this as a threat, moving his feet, raising his arms, sweat forming around his forehead. It's clear to them that this doctor makes him incredibly nervous.
"Your Soul, spermatic. So many emotions are swirling in you." His smile grew more prominent, more insane. He studied everything he could about his new test subject. Uzumaki Naruto is a teenage boy like most at Death's academy. With blond hair held back by a headband, wild and bright blue eyes, a light tan to his skin, and three birthmarks on each cheek, much like a whisker. His face remained in a rather unpleasant glare. Naruto, like all students, should be an incredible age fit. Even under the black long sleeve jacket with Konohagakure written in white on his sleeves. Underneath an orange shirt and black pants with strangely open-toed sandals.
"It's impossible for you two to find a mister, correct?" The shine of light all weapons have, a chain with a sharp four-inch double-sided blade, came from within his veins. "No, you can convince people to follow. Your Soul is more compelling, caring even. It's not you." He tilted his head to a small degree and avoided a bladed knife that tried to take his neck.
"You know nothing," That voice came from his left, where that bladed chain flew past him.
"Oh?" He asked, seeing the empty place where he once stood. It's interesting how he pulled that off. Stein raised his arms, blocking the strike. To his surprise, the boy could punch hard; he would be surprised if he bruised yellow after today. It didn't stop; however, the fist turned into his golden chain once more; wrapping around his one arm, the boy launched another four feet back into some retreat.
"I'll warn you," Gripping the chain tied to Steins' arm, "I can lift well over a ton." Stein has worked with shinobi from the hidden cities but mostly never witnessed combat. He only delivered messages or drops made when he was still a student. Now, he has that chance to see the way they use their souls. In a blink of an eye, Stein was now in the air; in a second moment, he was crushed to the ground leaving a small hole within the stone floor.
Death always told him the difference between them both. A sound soul resigns in a good body is an old saying for the school to direct students into a proper path; however, ninjas of the hidden villages separated from Death take this quote differently. They can channel their souls' strength and their wavelength into different parts of their bodies to strengthen them beyond human ability.
While Uzumaki Naruto is physically a powerhouse by basic human standards, he's no different than a boxer. However, he can lift and throw tons once he strengthens his body using his soul wavelength.
Unlucky for him, Stein's Soul strengthened his own body, shielding his bones and veins from shattering. It still hurts like hell; he now wishes to rip this boy apart to see what makes every inch tick. Letting out a puff of coming, Stein sent a wave of Soul menace through his arms. His Soul sends a harming wave matching that of electricity harming the organs and everything inside, and hidden beneath the chains wrapped around his arms is still skin, blood, and bone.
Blood sprayed from the chains forcing them to retreat into his body, but blood still spat from the teens' lips. It seemed like throwing a pebble at him, ignoring the pain he counted this fight. Stein smiled, left, right, fainting chain strike for nine other bladed chains. Each one multiplied nine times over again and again.
One more sending his mense at a far more potent amount, breaking the cage of chains, then catching a mighty right hook like it was nothing. Adjust is a skill Stein created, allowing his Soul to mimic and match another soul's wavelength canceling their soul ability. So, that strength he cared for so much didn't matter.
Stein's smile grew once more, feeling a sharp pain, and he missed a punch. He caught a knife; the boy shifted into the weapon when Stein closed his fist, covering the light of the transformation. The boy is talented; what a good sign.
Sliding his foot far forward, avoiding the shoulder skewer, gripping the chain with a bloody hand, sliding the same foot into the boys' stance, his other arm palm sticking Narutos' stomach, sending a usually deadly amount of soul mense directly into the boys' lungs. He felt the organs pop, only for Naruto to grab his jacket and throw him into the air again. Not seeming to care for failed organs, Stain witnessed a combat technique name Uzumaki Barrage.
What an exciting move; Naruto clearly shows his weapon is a knife and chain able to use either or and travel between and create multiple of each over and over. However, the knife was thrown into the air. It must have been when he struck his chest become him. A kick to his skull; if it wasn't for that metal rod through his head, who knew what damage could have been done?
Stein laughed, lying on the ground, bleeding from his hand and skull. He laughed in pure enjoyment. The fight is over, and he has won. Uzumaki Naruto's breathing heavily finally passed out from his lungs being torn asunder.
"Amazing, even after all that, he's still alive!" Placing his wound on his face, the man laughed at the thought. Naruto has a rapid healing factor. He could be ripped open again and again.
"Those from those villages are something different; sadly, only the leaf ever remotely loyal. I'm glad Naruto's showing his skill and talents. Like you, he'll start school as a one-star. Don't try to kill him that often. Kays, bye!" Escaping his more serious emotion into a child-friendly Death disconnected his transmission through the mirror. The door to his door opened, showing a very displeased woman with blond hair, the school nurse hiding her glee with a man like Stein needing care and a person like Naruto under her supervision.
How wonderous for her and her 'priorities.' She must gather every information she could about this child. After all, having someone powerful enough to destroy countries in hours is something to hold dear. However, it slowly becomes a worthless endeavor. By the time she placed him on that bed, the boys' lungs were healed and working, incredible. A healing factor, above all, to regrow organs is such a small amount of time.
"Well, besides that hole in your hand and a few bruised ribs, you'll be fine." The witch spoke with such a sweet voice, a small smile present, holding the one hand of the perfect man in her twisted eyes.
She could practically read his thoughts as an eye drifted over to the sleeping boy.
"He's fine, already made a full recovery, I believe; what did you do to him?" She knew, just not in the way she should in their eyes.
"I destroyed his lungs." The mad doctor laughed; Medusa, with such a shocked face, was gleed seeing him act in such a way and watching the sick man ponder the possibilities of a subject that heals from all inflicted damage, how Naruto could be cut open again and again.
"I understand you need to push students; that's extreme even for you." As there game back in forth, Stein explains how Naruto's different because of what he is. Said boy woke up, remaining silent; he sat on the hospital bed watching the two speck back and forth.
He didn't make a noise leaving not a single crack, walking up a wall and across the ceiling smiling as if they never noticed a thing. Transforming his body into a slim chain, he fit between the door and floorboard; Naruto smiled, hands behind his head and a hungry stomach.
"It's good being a shinobi," Humming said as he walked the two, unaware of his escape until it was too late. "Wonder if this town got ramen," He mumbled; alone, he started thinking about reasons. He was transferred here by Tusande Senju, the current Hokage of his village. Her leadership believed him being sent as a representative threatened their strength and goodwill by leaving such an important 'tool' in their hands.
Of course, the reality is being sent away in fear of the Akatsuki. He's, in a sense, under the watchful eyes of the Death God; only a fool would challenge that strength. Of course, he is raging on the inside. Once more, a decision outside his control is made because of his birth; because he was chosen to be a pawn, he is counted as a piece in someone else's chest board.
"Fucking old bat," Mumbling under his breath curse after curse, his attitude soured. "Where that old pervert anyway?" Stopping in his tracks, the, well, pissed-off mental stunt teenager finally discovered that he was lost in this massive school.
School, he forgot. He has to attend school. The faculty and student at the end of the day all froze, hearing a mighty roar. One that seemed to shake the ground cemented a terrible rumor of an egg roaming the halls. The moon laughed high within the sky, watching a raging teenager finally discover an exit after so long. It must be hard to navigate a city while barely being able to read a single sign.
Out of any location within Death City, they had to have a woman-only hot spring, placing two plus two; the boy quickly knew where to look. Using his ninja talent, snecking through and around that bath house was never a challenging task. Red is permanently present upon his checks; he's not degenerate like his teachers, but stealing a look or two isn't that bad, right?
"That Stein was such a creep!" It was a shout of relief after a hard day of work. Something about her voice reminded him of someone. Stopping where he stood, he couldn't help but watch. Sitting down, keeping his Soul low and body blurring within the black stone and smoke of the steam, he could see everyone within this spring.
He discovered the two girls having a conversation with the weirdo he fought and maybe dating that weirdo of a nurse. One is a taller and older girl. Naked as the day she was born, the type of girl that would make Jiriya fall in love if it wasn't for the age difference. The girl speaking is what caught his interest, short, petite with blond hair and green eyes. Cute round face, holding her towel to cover her tiny chest, the girl counties an almost one-sided conversation with the older bustier girl.
"I could understand the demon weapon, but the blond girl?" Jiraiya, his mentor, spoke, sneaking up on the boy. Without a jump or flinch of fright, the boy counties watching her. Jiraiya couldn't be caught smiling at this; it was like staring directly into a past mirror. Baby faces Jiraiya discovering the beauty that was Tsunade Senju for the first time. The underdeveloped girl at the time, through a looking hole.
Jiraiya laughed, seeing the boy read to spew random excuses between his lips, but nothing seemed to come out.
"Come on, let us eat something to eat." Nodding, the short boy stared one more time at the blond girl. Remembering her face before he and his mentor vanished in a quick movement. Hoping on top light posted and rooftops, he smiled, feeling the wind through his hair and the cool night air.
"Being a shinobi has its perks," He smiled, landing on the concrete ground, and his smile grew. His mentor landed by his side, rubbing his hair like a father would with their son.
"Doesn't have many, but this is one." Smiling to two found a small brothel in a sense, while Naruto has never cared for the business. He's too hungry to care. Chunpa Cabra's, with a single bartender and probably a cook, is up and running because of two women. Each attractive in their way handing off a red-haired depressed man.
The tallest, leaving him crying, led the two to a table. To Narutos' shock, Jiraiya smiled and acted calmly. They were not drooling and obsessing over her beauty. The two sat, ordered drinks and food, and talked like any father/son. Jiraiya spoke about what to expect for the next three years and how they will serve the school as offered soldiers and learn and live as much as possible.
"So, I eat souls, red ones, right?" He has not eaten but absorbed souls before, one on the bridge. Zabuza and Haku recalled the blue orbs floating in the air; it's when he discovered he has this power of transforming.
"Kishin eggs, Death, called them," Souls twisting with darkness, he believed. "Death himself has an ever-growing list of every person that starts becoming a Kishin egg. Those are the people you hunt, the only people you kill. I would consider Orochimaru more human than these Kishin eggs." Nodding, the two sat in silence with the precise question in the air.
"You didn't do anything wrong, Naruto; remember that." How couldn't they know, right? "Anyway, what was with that blond girl? It looked like you fell in love." He smiled, seeing that reaction of checks turning red.
"She fought that guy earlier today, the fox told me to be careful, so I was wondering if I could find something out." There was a long pause before he spoke the truth.
"Here I thought you were over Sakura," Rubbing his eyes at the one-sided relationship, he couldn't judge. The only woman he will ever love will never share his feelings. "Don't end up like me, kiddo. Got to say, though, it looks like you and I had the same taste when I was your age, of course. The girl looks like a spitting image of Tsunade." He couldn't help but laugh, watching that innocent and curious look the boy had into one of horror.
The rest of the night, Jiraiya couldn't leave a smile off his face; as he ate with his student, the worry of the future was always present, but right now. The joy of finally being here is enough. As the moon was high in the early morning, the legendary toad sage carried his student on his back much like he tended to. No matter how goofy and confusing, this place will be good for him. Who knows, he might find a girl to love him.
Well, if he passed a school, that is. That smile turns into an annoyed frown; they both are struggling. For responsibilities had to be met by Jiraiya is having a meeting in the early morning. Naruto had to learn quickly and as much as possible to attend this E.A.T. class confidently. They stayed up late and woke up early. After three hours of sleep, the two huffed, puffed, and whined about being up early.
"Fuck whoever made this ugly ass school," Jiraiya started staring down ten thousand steps. Staring at the building designed straight after Death, two boys stood waiting at the front doors. "Looks like you have the stuff to prove," A chuckle escaped seeing the two boys, one waiting before the gates and another upon the pillars. "Show them up," Slapping his student on the back, for him to fall straight on his face, and he vanished before Naruto could stand back up.
The blond stared at the two, getting off his face with annoyance: a silver-haired boy and one with blue hair. The feeling of insecurity and overconfidence comes from the two. While he couldn't see one's Soul, he could sense and identify what negative emotion that claws a single person. Yawning, the boy with bags under his eyes stepped before the silver-hair boy and stared at the one above.
"We're fighting?" He smiled at that, yelling about surpassing god; he landed ten feet out with incredible skill.
"If you wanna fight so bad, we'll give you a fight!" Smiling, the blue hair boy yelled as the other seemed lost before just accepting the challenge.
"Oh, by the way. I'm not Death's kid." Naruto spoke, stripping off his jacket in a moment; golden coins spelling out sith Hokage appeared behind his back. Glowing golden with energy, he smiled at his introduction. "I'm Uzumaki Naruto, next Hokage." Jiraiya always told him to work on his entrance, and here it is.
"Hokage is nothing to one that will surpass god!"
"If I'm going to fight, we're winning Black Star,"
"Of course, we will, as the Strongest combo!" They do not lack confidence in the slightest for sure.
"Let the challenger start," Swinging his arms forward, nine chains, the same that spelled his future title, lashed out. Black Star ran through, avoiding everything sent, while the other arm turned into a black and red curved blade. Blocking chains, they both ran the distance to meet in close range.
One was meister, stepping back from this Black Star jump kick, the other a weapon. Dagger replaced his finger and blocked the other weapon stick; he swung his leg wide. Shimmering golden Black Star backed off, avoiding the dagger swipe. Worth added the same, his blacking hand switched to a chain, wrapping around his arm and chest. Naruto repeated the move he used against that twisted man. Chains shot from his back, and pulling his back, he smiled.
"This is going to hurt." Soul heard and just gave a smile back. As he was swung into the hair, he just turned into his weapon form. While still chained, the form crushing into the ground was nearly harmless. "Smart ass," Naruto mumbled, reeling his chain arm back, dancing back, blocking strikes from Black Star.
"You're good," Naruto complimented, stepping onto Black Star's knee. In his weapon form, Soul swung by a chain at Black Star, forcing a retreat. "But I Say how about we make this a fair fight." Even tired of his mind, Naruto is confident he will win. Forming a t with his figure, he spoke.
Kage Bushin no Jutsu is his most helpful ability by far. He made a single him, trying to learn and not overuse the jutsu: identical, a true clone of himself.
"I'm a weapon no meister could ever wield but myself, of course." They spoke like Soul; one of the Naruto glowed fully before transforming into a kunai and chain weapon.
"The real fight begins here; ready yourself!" He roared, staring at the two with more confidence than he should before his checks puffed up, seeing a green eye girl standing behind watching the fight with that damn nut job.
He can't choke now!
Before you leave, I'm going to explore some things; hopefully, I wrote it as I thought. So, a breakdown. Naruto is the only alive weapons within the Naruto world, which like the witch world, is hidden as part of the old world. For those unaware, the current soul eater earth is referred to as a new world, not an old one. This takes place after the Tsunade Rescue mission, right now with normal Naruto that fights in the hospital is happening.
Naruto awoke his weapon form with the seal breaking, causing Madness to become a factor resulting in Hakus' Soul being absorbed from the chain and doing the same to Zabuza to join Haku. More will be explained later.
The pairing is because Madness will affect Naruto as badly as Stein, with Maka's anti-demon wavelength. It made sense, and there will not be lemons. And no, Maka will never replace Naruto with Soul, and Tsuandes' picture Jiraiya showed Naruto does look like Maka if Tsunade took a child form.
As for the balance and abilities of the character, Naruto and Sasuke were at levels surpassing most characters in their age group. Mean, watch the last valley part 1 fight, and they're punching each other across 100 yards and running at speeds that kill the fire; hell, Naruto punched Sasuke so hard he watched the open hole for a few seconds just waiting for it to close. They have insane feats during part one without their amps.
Anyway, that's all any questions or suggestions, send a pm; thanks for reading, friends.
