Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
Story Rating:
Chunin Exam Day, Chapter 75Flashes of color from wings and tails confused everybody as out of nowhere the parade went from an orderly march to an explosion of light and color.
Countless ANBU had accidents at the sudden change. It was like a firework going off, a spark as small as a fuse filling the whole earth with light and noise all at once.
The new ninja were instantly everywhere, sprouting cat ears and fox tails, fins and feathered bird wings and tails as they danced, knocking down quite a few kunai flung by Konoha ninja whose nerves had frayed without breaking step or even appearing to notice the attacks.
Suddenly it became clear why they wore the paw print and rumors circulating out of the Hokage Tower called them ninja of the Secret Village of Beasts, as all of the new arrivals sprouted animal features of some sort as they burst outward, dancing on walls, wires, upside down or in flight.
Beast Ninja filled the entire heart of Konoha with light and sound and motion and color as they raced about on rollerblades, danced on tops of giant balls, or surfed down streets, up walls and around shops, the earth splashing and rising like waves to carry them about in laughing and happy abandon that was at once playful and chaotic and perfectly choreographed.
They spun and they twirled in perfect unison. Not one beast ninja was out of place so much as a step in this gigantic, fantastic display, in spite of not a few panicked attacks upon them.
No ninja village, or indeed any nation in the elemental countries had ever seen anything like it.
The ANBU got themselves under control once it became clear this was yet another dance move for the new arrivals, although not a few felt shamed to have missed on those abortive attacks - no ninja likes to be treated as so minor a threat he can be ignored, and they like it less the higher they rise in rank. To not even disrupt the arrivals' display really stung ANBU pride.
You're supposed to notice when someone tries to kill you. It's only polite.
