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.

I staggered back to my feet and looked around, but there was no sign of my opponent. Even his presence had vanished.

Then I felt a pinprick in the back of my neck, and everything from there down went numb. “Boring,” he whispered in my ear. “Just another jounin taijutsu specialist disguised as a child. Your skill is nothing compared to your teammate’s eyes, little girl.”

I turned my awareness inward, and discovered there was a blade severing my spine between the second and third vertebrae. A poisoned blade, at that. Even then I might have survived, but Orochimaru wasn’t the sort to take chances.

The blade lengthened until the tip emerged from the front of my throat, and the snake Sannin beheaded me with a casual flick of the wrist. Apparently those stories about severed heads living for several seconds are true, because I had plenty of time to watch my headless body topple to the ground before the world went dark.

Note to self: Orochimaru is one serious badass.
