Story Start.
"So this is Hook Cemetary? Well it has character." Naruto muttered as the group walked into the graveyard, and both Maka and Soul were sulking at the chance of being expelled if they all fail this test. Naruto was not worried at all though, since he had gone on much harder missions before with Tsubaki and even leading small teams of Meisters into places where the odds were stacked against them and led the team to victory.
"Expelled... Dropout... Failure." Maka kept muttering under her breath as she leaned up against a tree. Naruto looked to her weapon to him him in a similar condition, and Naruto looked over to Black Star and saw him banging on Sid's gravestone. Naruto suddenly was not so sure about the odds of success anymore.
"So uncool." Soul muttered sadly as Black Star started to pat him on the back. Naruto leaned over to Tsubaki and whispered into her ear.
"Watch them, I am going to start laying a trap to catch Sid when he shows up. If anyone asks say I had to use the restroom." Naruto said as she nodded and he disappeared in a gust of wind. Tsubaki suddenly felt that they would not even notice him gone with how Black Star was convincing Soul to piss on Sid's grave.
'Isn't anyone going to try and stop them!' She thought in shock, but that became more serious when she felt something moving under the ground. It did not feel like Naruto, so that meant it had to be... SID, and he was moving right under Maka! Running towards the tree Maka was at Tsubaki did a spinning jump and transforms into a Giant Shuriken just as a blue Sid came up from the ground and tried to grab Maka. He jumped back from surprise at the weapon headed straight at him, and felt a stab in his gut when Tsubaki turned into a Ninjato in mid-air and lodged in his stomach. Training with Naruto all these months taught her ways to use herself in battle without him, though she prefered to be in Naruto's hands.
"Urg! Not going to work! When I was alive something like this would not stop me, and that hasn't changed!" Sid yelled as his hand made to pull Tsubaki out, but she glowed blue and turned into a Giant Shuriken again and caused the wound to grow more serious. He pulled her out and threw her to the side, but was to wounded to do anything when Golden Chains came out of the ground and sunk into his flesh. Turning his head he saw Naruto's dirt covered upper body sticking out of the ground with Golden Chains coming out of him randomly. It may have taken awhile but he had finally learned how to make the same Chains as his mother.
"Maka! Resonate with Soul NOW! Black Star, hit him with your best shot while they charge up!" Naruto ordered as Soul jumped and in his transformed state landed in Maka's hands. Black Star ran at Sid with a happy grin.
"I was saving this to use against Naruto, but it doesn't matter right now! Black Star Big wave!" He yelled as he hit the zombie man with both his elbow and his fist while sending his Soul wavelength into the undead man. Little orbs appeared around the two before they vanished, and Naruto grinned when Maka started resonating with Soul.
"Tsubaki!" Naruto yelled as he held his hand out of the ground in the air, and soon she transformed into Chain Scythe form while Naruto used one of the blades to spin the other by the chain.
"Swirlin Resonance: Spiral Hunter!" The two yelled in sync as the glowing image of a full moon appeared along the chain and blade like a spinning saw. Jerking his arm her sent the energy disk right at Sid's unprotected back.
"Witch Hunter!" Maka said as she swung her cresent moon shaped energu blade at Sid... but slipped and hit Naruto hard enough to knock him out of the ground and get rid of the chains on Sid as the zombie ducked the deadly disk coming at him. Blood shot out of Naruto's new wound, and mouth from the blow he was unable to dodge. He was half stuck in the ground, and holding Sid in place after all.
"Gah!" He yelled when his back slammed into the tree and the airborn chain scythe blade went into his shoulder. Tsubaki transformed back into her human form and went to his side, and looked at the blood that was on her hands in horror. A Weapon hurting their own Meister was the greatest shame, since it was the Weapons job to protect the Meister while they were in battle.
"Naruto... I'm so sorry!" Tsubaki said as she pressed her hands down on the wound to stop the blood from escaping. Maka herself was looking at what she did in horror, while Black Star showed concern for his rival. Sid took this as his chance to smack Maka across the cheek and force her to let go of Soul.
"It's fine Tsubaki, this is nothing but a flesh wound. I can still fight." Naruto said as he stood back up and ignored Tsubaki's protest. He had taken a hole in the chest before, this normally fatal wound on his chest was nothing compared to that. Though the stab wound through his shoulder might be a problem. He could not even feel his right arm since the blade actually went all the way through.
'Damnit Maka! The plan was going perfectly until you slipped!' Naruto though in annoyance as he slammed his foot on th ground and more chains wrapped around Sid just as he was about to slam a tombstone into Maka's head. This would have gone much smoother if he had just been sent alone. He worked best with just him and Tsubaki! Everyone else literally got in the way or ruined his plans! Naruto ran foreyard and grabbed the still Weaponized Soul and tossed his to Maka, who caught him and held the blade at Sid's neck with a deep purple bruise on her cheek.
"Gotcha." She muttered before Tsubaki transformed her ponytail into a chain and had it wrap around Sid as Naruto's chains vanished. He took a knee and placed a hand on his chest as the wound started to stitch itself together at an alarming rate until not even a scar remained, while the stab in his shoulder remained healing. The whole process took about half an hour while the others waited with patience.
"You okay?" Maka asked wih worry before being punched in the face, and Naruto had fist fist outstretched. She just took it since she did cut his chest open not long ago.
"Now I am okay, usually I hate hitting girls but that felt good to do. Now all we have to do is get the information out of this guy. Any ideas people?" Naruto asked and Black Star walked over to Tsubaki and listed her dress while Naruto glared at the kid with anger, and Tsubaki blushed.
"Who turned you into a zombie?" The blue haire boy asked just before Naruto slugged him across the face at seeing Sid's dirty look.
"It was Stein!" Everyone looked at Sid in a new light as he imediantly cracked under the promise of the sweet flesh of the ninja. Naruto gave him a death glare and Sid backed off. Nobody but Naruto was allowed to look at Tsubaki's panties like that, but he did have to withhold a perverted giggle at her choice of panties today.
Skimpy panties on Tsubaki really were the best, but he did question how much of her perverted side she was really hiding. He knew she was a closet pervert, he just knew it.
"Black Star... if you ever do that again I am going to rip off you balls, shove them up your ass, put on some gloves, pull them out of your ass, and then feed them to you after knocking out all your teeth." Naruto threatened the blue haired boy as the illusion of an angry giant nine tails fox appeared behind him. The image was only seen by Black Star, but even the others were able to feel the killing intent. Soul, who had been about to lift up Maka's skirt, decided against it in fear of what Naruto might try.
It honestly did not take much longer to force the information out of Sid when Naruto threatened him with losing his balls, so when they started walking Maka tugged on his sleeve and the two stay behind a bit.
"I just wanted to say... I'm really sorry about hurting you. I messed up big time, and I don't want to lose our friendship." Maka said with a dead bow, she felt a light flick to her nose and stood up straight again and saw Naruto grinning.
"Heh, I forgave you the second I punched you. Also, don't worry about me. I was born with a very durable body, something of that level would not even leave a scar on me." Naruto said and she got a little angry at his casual waving off of her apology.
"Aren't you afraid I might have hurt you at all, or dying!" Maka said louder than before and Naruto understood what her real problem was.
Fear.
"Maka... Every single time I go into a fight I know there is a chance I will not come back out, so I have nothing to fear of death. Every fight I have I am afraid, but not of dying. I will never stop fighting even on death's door because I am afraid of what will happen to my friends if I died and left them without a shield. The thing about fear is not getting rid of it, but pushing through your fear and continuing to fight to protect, to destroy, and to save. My fear of my friends getting hurt lets me push passed the limits of the body to protect them." Naruto said sagely and Maka was stunned at how easily he was able to admit to his own fear, while she would not admit it.
"That... you are so strong Naruto. No wonder you are a Three Star Meister." Maka ended as she ran off to rejoin the group, while Naruto looked on with a smile. In truth everyone was afraid of something, even if they did not admit it, or if was just a small fear. Naruto would openly admit he was afraid of watching his friends die around him... Like Neji and Shikamaru in the war. Shaking his head of depressing thought Naruto ran off and caught up with the group in record time.
"So Sid... what the hell happened that turned you blue? Most zombies me and Tsubaki had slain were the same color as when they were alive, except a little paler. Heck, you have not even been dead long enough for your face to be so sunken looking." Naruto asked as Sid shrugged as much as he could since he was still tied up. He had no clue why he looked like this, but in his opinion he looked badass.
[Death Room]
"That Meister, the one with the whisker marks... he's so perfect!" A black haired boy with three white strips yelled as the site of the perfectly symmetrical blond through the mirror with his dual weapons and father sweat dropping. "That natural symmetry, the way his clothes are symmetrical, and the way his weapon in that Chain Scythe mode is symmetrical. He Is Perfect." Kid the Death said loudly as he looked at the image of his new idol.
"Hehehe, he looks like a kitty!" A short haired, large breasted girl stated as she went up to the mirror and tried to pat him on the head.
"Patty, get out of the way of the mirror. I was watching that!" Kid shouted as Death sighed at his son's irrational obsession with symmetry. He had a feeling he should warn Naruto about Kid after this mission was done. Then again looking through the mirror he saw that the group were already at Stein's house, and the man himself had already came out.
[Stein's House]

"This guy is insane." Maka said simply as his eyes turned to her and Soul.
"You two, your soul wavelengths aren't very stablized. You are a serious person who tries hard and a short temper, paired with a twisted person with a sarcastic soul. The two of you aren't working together." Stein said as he turned the screw through his head. Maka jumped back in surprise and looked at him in a new light. Her soul was rust orange with two pigtail-like wisps coming out and a scowling face, while souls was baby blue with sharp teeth and a single spike bending out the back.
"This guy is a Meister, and a powerful one if he can tell out personalities with just a glance. That skill is reserved for the best at sensing souls!" Maka said in shock while Tsubaki looked at Naruto as if asking a question, he rolled his eyes and nodded. It was a skill he could do as well, but he just did not care to do it all the time.
"Heh. I bet Maka can see all that cool stuff too, right!?" Soul asked as Naruto laughed at Maka's face. It was obvious she couldn't and her soul wavered a bit to show she was about to lie.
"O... of course I can." Maka said and Naruto had to say it.
"Big fat lie." Naruto said before face palming at Black Star climbing up the building and standing on the ledge.
"Ahaha, this talk is boring me! From now on all coversation will be about me... Black Star." The kid yelled as others started to face palm at him as well, and it got worse with the kids next words. "I don't care if you can see souls or can't see 'em. If I can see my own soul, I'm happy!" Black Star shouted and Stein chuckled and looked at him. His soul was bright blue with a grinning face and random spikes on it.
"Your a astounishingly self-centered soul." Stein said, and before Black Star made the mistake of attacking him Naruto grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back. "Hehehe, I find it hard to believe that boy can find a partner. You on the other hand have an extremely powerful, yet caring soul that radiates happiness with a desirte to help others with their problems. I am actually shocked you can find a weapon yourself, any weapon does not match with you over 90 percent would immediantly be broken unless they were a death scythe." Stein pointed out as Tsubaki felt happy her soul was so nicely matched to his, or she might not be here. Naruto's soul was an extremely bright neon orange that hide the other soul deep in him, and it had his signature hair style with whisker makes on it's grinning face. The most surprising part was the sheer intesity of his soul's wavelength.
"Naruto soul sounds nice." Tsubaki muttered before flinching back as Stein turned his eyes to her.
"Well, color me surprised. You are the most co-operative soul I have seen with a lots of space to accept others and radiate a gentle kindness, while staying more submissive than a normal soul. You must be his partner, the two of you work perfectly together. You have a very strong compatability. You also seem to have an extreme admiration for him, and show some sort of desire for him. You also hold some sort of guilt that appears to be recent." Stein stated and Tsubaki blushed deeply and looked at Naruto, only to blush even deeper than before. She was glad Naruto was oblivious to her crush, but he did seem to get that she was feeling guilty for stabbing him. Her soul was a dim orange with a smile and an imitation of her ponytail.
"Everyone stay back, and Tsubaki don't bother helping me with this one. This guy is the real deal, and I will take care of it. Black Star... take the others and run away, and I promise that the next time we fight I will be serious." Naruto said as he walked in front of the group, and got into a fighting stance. Black Star nodded and Naruto's earlier words came to Maka's mind.
'Every single time I go into a fight I know there is a chance I will not come back out, so I have nothing to fear of death. Every fight I have I am afraid, but not of dying. I will never stop fighting even on death's door because I am afraid of what will happen to my friends if I died and left them without a shield.'
'Am I... afriad of this man?' Maka asked as she saw her own shaking hands, and she could feel the clashing of power between Naruto and Stein.
'The thing about fear is not getting rid of it, but pushing through your fear and continuing to fight to protect, to destroy, and to save. My fear of my friends getting hurt lets me push passed the limits of the body to protect them.'
"Soul!" Maka shouted as Soul grinned and turned into his weapon and she stood next to Naruto in a battle position. Black Star quickly joined at Naruto's other side.
"Hehehehe, I am the man that will surpass god. I can't be running away from this freak!" Black Star yelled and Naruto smiled, it was like being on Team 7 again. Tsubaki released Sid and jumped up in the air and transformed in Giant Shuriken form and landed in Naruto's left hand.
"Sorry Naruto, but even if you forbid it I will never abandon you... that is my ninja way after all." Tsubaki stated as her mostly nude form appeared to him on the blade of the weapon. he smiled at the reminder of the stories he told her about his own nindo.
"Haha, looks like your motto lives on even in this world sensei. Those who break the rules are scum, but those that abandon their comrades are worse than scum." Naruto muttered so low that nobody else heard him but Tsubaki.
*Clap Clap Clap*
"Congradulations... You pass the make-up exam."

"EEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
[Later that Night]
"I hate today. I had to go to school, was called to do a mission, nearly got cut in half, and was stabbed in the shoulder. Then some weird pervert peeps on my soul." Naruto mumbled as Tsubaki followed behind him with a sweat drop, but could not rebuke his words. Naruto opened the door and they both looked on him shock when they saw Twisty sitting on their couch reading a magazine in a prison outfit and a magic cancelling choker around her neck.
"Hello to the two of you, what happened, why are you blue?" Twisty asked her her usual was of talking by rhyming. Naruto sighed in irritation when he realized that he was going to be Death's warden for this Witch.
"Fucking damnit." Naruto said as Tsubaki looked like she had been forced to swallow a lemon, and then drink unsweetended lemonade.
Today was NOT a good day.
Chapter End.
Naruto was stuck to the ground when Maka slipped and he was using all his limbs to keep Sid restrained and attack him at the same time. He had no way to defend himself at the moment, and this also give Tsubaki room to grow. I did everything in this chapter for a reason, either for a laugh, or to add to latter plot.
